MTL - Abe the Wizard-Chapter 4 Fort Lee
The town of Fort Lee is called Fort Lee because there was an ancient castle called Fort Lee here. As more and more people came here, houses were erected around Fort Lee and slowly formed. In the current town of Fort Lee, the current mayor Baron Rex lives in the castle.
When arriving in Fort Lee, the sun was almost noon. Abel and Norman talked about it. First they went to church and spent ten silver coins to ask a priest to cure Norman's leg injury with "treatment of minor injuries."
When he came out of the church and looked at the tall and solemn church, Abel shook his head, or the church made money. It was just a low-level divine art, and he received ten silver coins. Ten silver coins are enough for an average family to eat for a month, but for the priest, it is a matter of waving a hand.
Then, under Norman's guidance, I came to Zhendong's furnishings store. When I saw the Shadow Leopard, the shop owner was surprised. This Shadow Leopard was complete except for a wound on the back, plus It was a high-value Shadow Leopard, and the boss quickly bought out 10 gold coins.
Norman was very satisfied with the price. Abel didn't know the market very well. When he saw Norman nodded, he agreed to the deal.
These 10 gold coins, plus a gold coin given to him by Zach, and five gold coins he saved, totaled 16 gold coins. The purchasing power of gold coins is still very strong here, which makes Abel always feel I have some money.
This time I came to Fort Lee for a purpose. Abel asked Norman to buy goods by himself. What he bought next did not want to be known.
When I came to Libao Business Center in the center of the town, the signboard of the business was the silhouette of the ancient castle of Libao, with a large facade. It was almost noon now, and there were not many people inside.
Abel came to the counter and looked at the merchandise inside. There were various daily necessities, as well as jewelry, clothes, etc., just like a large grocery store.
"Are you Master Abel?" A fat middle-aged man walked out of the counter with a smile on his face and gave a noble flower gift to Abel.
Although the other party ’s aristocratic etiquette is very non-standard and it ’s not appropriate to use flower etiquette here, Abel replied politely. You must know that it is difficult for ordinary people to learn aristocratic etiquette. It is very good to be able to use the noble ceremony.
"Yes, do you know me?"
"I'm Tim, the owner of this shop. Your corner is marked with a thorn shield by Bennett's knight, and I know your brother, Master Zack, so I take the liberty to call you." Tim said again. A weird ceremony.
The thorn shield is the coat of arms of the Bennet family, becoming a qualified noble, remember that as many noble coats of arms are the way to go. In the memory of Abel, Abel accepted literature, music, and nobility from an early age. Etiquette and heraldry are very important courses among them.
"Mr. Tim, do you have a separate gem here?"
For Abel politely calling himself Mr., this made Tim very happy. Although the young knight second son in front of him was not a noble, his identity was very noble, and he respected the noble people. This made Tim feel better, and he quickly replied: "Yes, Fort Lee can provide you with all kinds of gems, Master Abel."
Saying that Tim ordered someone to open a large box on the counter. There were several rows of gems in the box. These gems are very small. In such a small place, few people can afford gems, and larger gems Useful, it doesn't show up in such stores.
Abel picked six rubies of the same color and size from the box and asked, "Mr. Tim, how many gold coins are these?"
"Just give 6 gold coins, Master Abel."
There wasn't much counter-offer. Abel knew that this kind of shop opened by a businessman in this town would not confuse the price of himself in this town, or the price of a knight family, so he took 6 gold coins from his arms. Pass it to Tim.
Tim took the gold coins with both hands, found a cloth bag to help Abel put 6 rubies in, and then respectfully sent Abel out of the shop.
After leaving Fort Lee, Abel found an unoccupied alley, took three rubies out of the bag, tapped his fingers, put them into the Heratik box, and meditated once again on the synthesis formula. Three of the same The gem is synthesized into a higher-level gem. If there is nothing wrong, after clicking the synthesis button by yourself, the 3 gems should disappear, and you get a large ruby.
Suppressing the mood, the fingers lightly pressed on the synthetic button under the 12 squares in front of the eyes. The three rubies emitted a white light and disappeared, and a large circle appeared in the uppermost square of the Heratik square. Ruby, take the ruby from the Heratik cube, and take a closer look in the sun. It is a beautiful gem. Each side perfectly reflects the brightness of the sun, emitting a pure light, crystal clear red, Gleaming in the sun.
This ruby is higher in order of size and quality than the previous three rubies. Although it is not known about its value, Abel believes that the value is definitely more than three gold coins.
Then I also synthesized the second ruby. I took two rubies in a cloth bag and thought about where to sell them. I definitely can't go to the Fort Lee commercials. Think about it, I just bought 6 rubies from there, and worked for a while. Went there again to sell two better rubies, and the fool knew that there was something wrong.
After walking on the streets of the town for a while, I saw an auction house ahead. This was Edmond Auction House. Looking at the sign, Abel found relevant information from memory. Edmond Auction House is the largest auction house in the Principality. Basically, Edmond Auction House is opened in every town in the Principality of Cameroon. Its 500-year history guarantees the credibility of Edmond Auction House. The Demon auction house will auction some rare treasures, attracting the nobility and wealth of the whole Duchy of Carmel and surrounding duchy.
"Welcome to Edmond Auction, can I help you?" A standard goose-egg beauty wearing a gorgeous dress made of silk from the east, long blonde hair, clear and bright eyes, without a trace Impurities, fair skin shattered without any flaws, and the sound was very soft and pleasant, and he gave a noon greeting to Abel.
"Beautiful lady, I want to find someone to identify the gemstones." Abel returned with a noon greeting.
From this etiquette, you can see the strength of Edmund's auction house. When the right etiquette is used, this is the standard for nobles, and those who can use this etiquette at least have studied the noble etiquette course. These courses are not what you want to learn. Without corresponding status, no one will teach you these.
"Just call me Yvette, young and handsome sir. I am the director here. Let's talk upstairs." Yvette knew that he was an identified person when he saw Abel coming in. So instead of having other people participate in the reception, she received it herself.
In the sitting room on the second floor, after the two sat down, a servant served two cups of coffee. Abel, who had been away for a long time, couldn't help but take a sip of the coffee, very good coffee, although he could not say Where is it made, but he still knows the quality of the coffee, the family's economy is not good, and it has been a long time since I have had such good coffee.
Yvette looked at the young man who could be said to be a boy. The respect for the noble person did not depend on his age. The words that nobles often drew were the services of the auction house.
Abel took the cloth bag out of his arms, took a ruby out of it, and handed it to Yvette, asking, "Ms. Yvette, look at the value of this gem."
After receiving the gem, Yvette carefully looked at the interior of the gem against the light. After a few minutes she looked up and said with excitement: "Perfect cut, perfect structure, no flaws, transparent light. Do you sell rubies? I will give you a maximum price of 300 gold coins. "
