I Am Doing Daily Tasks in the Wizarding World Chapter 8: Red Leaf Hotel
Lynn went downstairs, opened the wooden door and walked to the yard.
The first time he walked out of the house where he had stayed for three months, Lynn was in a daze.
Only the smell of blood in the air and the sour smell of acid corrosion reminded him of the truth of all this.
"Stand up." Lynn said to the lizard man.
The lizardman heard what Angelet said to Lynn just now, stood up and walked over respectfully.
It was only after the lizard man stood up that Lynn could really feel his height. Looking up, the lizard man was probably over two meters tall.
It has a scorched black mark on its chest, with a lot of black powder and a strong smell of gunpowder on it, probably caused by the musket hitting its chest just now.
"What's your name?" Lynn asked.
"Master." The lizard man said in awe. His hearing had been enhanced. Although he was in the yard, he could clearly hear what Angelet and Lynn said just now.
Lynn looked at Lauren with fixed eyes, using both kindness and power, fear of power and virtue is the best way to win people's hearts.
The control spell can only be regarded as prestige, it can only make Lauren fear and fear from the bottom of his heart.
But it can't make people obedient.
Lauren's reaction was a bit strange. After being released, he ran back by himself. Didn't he miss his wife, and wouldn't he go find his wife if he had a chance to escape?
"You...didn't escape just now?" Lynn asked.
"Master, where can I escape now?" Lauren smiled wryly.
"Master Angelet promised me that as long as I obediently cooperate with him in the follow-up experiments and inspections, he will give my wife a sum of money." Lauren said in awe.
"And the master is a distinguished wizard, master, I can do things, I used to be just a baker, because I suffered from a serious lung disease because of long-term bread making, I often cough, and now I feel in good health." Lauren Glancing at Lynn, he said cautiously. "If the master is willing, I can also make bread for the master."
It turns out that Lauren's previous occupation was a baker.
Lynn took another look at him. Baker sounds like a good job, but in fact this job is very hard. Because Lynn's uncle is a baker, he also suffers from asthma and eczema, and his life is not too rich, so he is bitter and tired.
Because the profit of bread is not high, and bread is easy to harden, only warm bread is soft, so in order to better sell bread, Lynn's uncle had to stay up late to work and stay most of the time for food and lodging In a dusty bakery just to be able to come in and buy a loaf of bread every morning when everyone else is out.
Lynn understood what Lauren meant. He became what he is now, and the human world outside can no longer accommodate him, so he followed Angelet to obtain his protection.
"Okay, you accompany me to clean up these things on the ground first." Lynn said.
Judging from the clothes of these people, they should be the sheriffs of the town not far from the foot of the mountain.
Everyone is wearing uniform imperial leather armor and muskets.
Lynn picked up a musket that was still intact.
The musket is about 1.5 meters long and weighs 5 kilograms. Judging from the structure of the gun, it is a percussion flintlock.
Although this musket is very backward compared with those hot weapons of later generations, it is still no problem to kill a person with a critical shot at a close range of tens of meters.
The only flaw is the accuracy of the hit. It's fine at close range, but at a slightly longer distance, the hit rate of this flintlock gun basically depends on the face.
Lynn collected all the flintlock guns on the ground. If these guns were sold, they could fetch a lot of money.
Although the Kingdom banned gun trading on the surface, there are still a lot of sales channels for guns in the private black market.
Especially now that the situation is turbulent, some rich people are not stingy about spending some money to arm themselves.
These flintlock guns are hard currency, and Lynn doesn't mind carrying two flintlock guns for self-defense.
Lynn groped around the corpse again, and found more than a dozen buckskin pockets. These pockets were very small, and the owner straddled his waist.
The pad was lightly padded, and something was shaking inside.
Open the deerskin pockets, which are filled with paper cartridges wrapped in oiled paper.
Lynn took a look at a paper cartridge, which contained gunpowder and lead pellets.
"Master." Lauren held a small brown bag and handed it to Lynn.
Lynn took it, and as it was shaken, the contents of the bag made a crisp and pleasant sound.
Open the bag, which contains some silver coins and some copper coins of varying amounts.
The silver coins are basically in a regular format. In the center of the silver coin, there is a figure of a woman with her hands crossed in front of her body.
Lin En raised his head, and it was almost similar to the figure on the moon in the sky.
Lin En poured it all out, and found an unexpected gold coin inside.
The kingdom has minted a lot of currency over the years.
Basically every king will use his own head to mint gold coins after he takes office.
According to the national strength at that time, the gold content of each generation of gold coins is different, and there are still some places that privately mint gold coins, which also creates different values of gold coins.
There are differences in the exchange rates between different versions of gold coins and silver coins in the folk.
On the contrary, it is silver coins. The casting standards of silver coins in circulation in the market are basically uniform, so relatively speaking, silver coins are the most widely circulated and most valuable currency in the market.
However, there was a joke in the Kingdom before. The silver coins minted by a private mint run by a well-known stingy Marquis family in the Kingdom were seriously insufficient in silver content, causing the minted silver coins to turn black.
Then he used this blackened silver coin to trade with other nobles, but of course he failed.
Then the marquis thought of a trick. He used these blackened silver coins as salary to distribute to his knights and subjects.
This caused a lot of trouble. In the end, it was said that when he was out hunting, the Marquis accidentally fell off his horse and became paralyzed. He passed the title to his son shortly after returning, and then died.
After the new marquis took office, he quickly reissued his salary, and all the black coins issued before were also taken back and recast.
It is also true that there is a strange tacit understanding between the major nobles and the royal family.
Guaranteed the strength of the silver coin currency.
But... there are too many of these guns, and I simply can't hold so many guns.
It would be nice to be able to put the gun in with the space item.
"Accompany me to the town." Lynn said.
"But your current appearance is not good, you need to cover up a little bit." Lynn thought for a while, and asked Lauren to follow him into the house and tear off the curtains in one of the rooms.
The curtains were old, dusty and had holes in places from bug bites.
In this way, the wide curtain was covered by Lauren to cover her body.
Two eyelets, one large and one small, are just near the eyes, and Lauren follows Lynn, like a cloaked ghost in the night.
The town is located not far from the foot of the mountain, and there are people in the few houses on the edge of the town. The gunshots not long ago alarmed the residents inside.
From a distance, this is a medieval-style European-style town located in the mountains, many of which are half-timbered and half-stone-style buildings, among which there are scattered wooden thatched sheds.
The ground is paved with uneven bluestone slabs, but many places have been damaged, and weeds have grown in the cracks.
In the central area of the town, the prototype of a small castle can be seen faintly, which should be the residence of the nobles in the town.
As they got closer, Lynn could smell the wafting of cow dung and horse dung.
Lynn walked the town, and he knew where to go if he wanted to rent a carriage or sell his muskets.
Following the sound, on a street to the south of the town, the windows of a large building shine through. Above the gate of the building, a huge carriage and red leaf logo are extremely eye-catching.
Walking forward, Lynn raised his head and saw the signboard of the shop that was still open. "Red Leaf Hotel."
Hotels, a place that is quite common in the kingdom, basically every town or city has one.
It is a place for passing passengers to stay overnight, or a place for gathering, chatting and drinking, and also a place for renting horse-drawn carriages and providing certain transactions.
Lynn pushed open the wooden door, and the noise and indescribable smell came to his face.
Beer and ale, the smell of sweat, all kinds of food, bad perfume and the smell of burning tallow candles in the wall table...
The air in the hotel lobby is dull and not very circulated, but it is much warmer than outside.
There is a small stove in the center of the hall, and drunkards or travelers are sitting on wooden tables and wooden benches in twos and threes.
The waiter is picking up some alcoholic vomit on the ground.
As the wooden door was pushed open, cold wind poured in.
A customer who was close saw Lynn walking in, and then shifted his gaze to Lauren who was behind Lynn.
The air in the hotel seemed to be suffocating.
It's really that Lauren's outfit looks too weird, and she is tall. Even in a small town, there are very few strong men over two meters tall.
A neatly dressed waiter came over, "Hi sir, what do you need?"
"Is your boss here?" Lynn asked directly.
"Please wait a moment." The waiter went back to tell after finishing speaking.
Not long after, a tall, thin man with a mustache who appeared to be in his thirties came down the stairs.
He glanced at Lauren standing behind Lynn, and then at Lynn, "Follow me here, please."
Follow the wooden stairs to an upstairs room.
The location of the room next to the window
The man said, "What do the guests want."
"I want to rent a carriage to Bangor Harbor." Lynn said.
Lin En is still wearing the clothes he brought when he fled. As a hotel owner, he traveled all over the world when he was young, visited many places, and met many people. You can see many things from a person's temperament.
But... Standing behind Lin En, he was dressed in strange clothes, and a strong man like a curtain was wrapped around his body, which made him a little unpredictable, and it also gave him a faint sense of danger.
But he doesn't think it's curtains, it should be some kind of special style of clothing.
"Our hotel provides carriage rental services. Our hotel is a formal hotel under the hotel union and cooperates with many hotels across the country. However, if guests do not often travel by carriage, there is no need to buy a carriage.
Although the carriage is not very expensive to buy, it is very troublesome to keep it afterward. Forage, grain and coarse salt are needed, and a groom is required. The daily cost is almost one silver coin per day to maintain the carriage. said Ted.
Lin En thought that if he bought a carriage and needed a groom, he would probably not go to other places when he arrived at Bangor Port, and horses also needed stables.
"How much do you charge for renting a carriage?"
"It depends on what kind of carriage the guest wants to rent." Ted said.
"If the guests are in a hurry, they can charter a car. If they are not in a hurry, they can wait for the carpool. Carpooling is charged per person. If there are not many guests, the price of carpooling is more favorable, and chartered cars are more expensive."
"Chartered car." Lynn said calmly.
Carpooling is too troublesome, and the identity of the teacher is too sensitive, so carpooling is easy to expose.
He was not worried about himself, but the safety of passers-by who carpooled with his teacher.
"There are two types of chartered cars. One is that the guests prepare their own accommodation and food, so the price will be more favorable. The other is that our hotel provides all-inclusive board and lodging services according to the destination of the guests. Accommodation is provided in hotels.
Both are charged according to the distance. If it is a flat road, you will receive 8 silver coins per 100 miles. If it is a mountain road, you will receive 12 silver coins per 100 miles. If you choose to include board and lodging, you will be charged 1 silver coin per day. said Ted.
"Guests, don't worry, we have meter drums on our cars. If you travel a long distance, the drum will be played every ten miles. If the distance is less than ten miles, it will be considered as a free gift for guests." Ted smiled.
After all, every long-distance trip is a big deal.
Even in this small town, there are not many people who are willing to travel long distances, and most of them only rent cars for short distances, and they only take them in a hurry.
For many farmers, a long trip can cost them most of their life savings.
Lin En thought about it, and secretly estimated that it was about seven or eight hundred miles away from Bangor Harbor, and he didn't know how many mountain roads and peaceful roads there were.
If calculated according to Ted's price, it would cost nearly a hundred silver coins to travel from here to Bangor Port.
One silver coin can be exchanged for twenty copper coins in the market.
Seeing that Lynn was silent, Ted added, "Our hotel happens to have a carriage right now. If the guests are ready, they can leave at any time."
"Tomorrow morning, pick us up on the main road outside the town." Lynn said.
"I don't know where the guests are going?" Ted asked.
"Bangor Harbour."
"Bangor Port is 760 miles away from us, and it needs to pass through the Sagunto Mountains on the way. Guests need all-inclusive board and lodging, and it takes about 13 to 15 days. If there is no accident on the way, the price is 92 silver coins , I don’t know what the guests think?”
"If the customer is a regular customer, no deposit is required, but after all, the customer is meeting for the first time, so a 60% deposit is required in advance."
"I still have a business to discuss with the boss." Lynn said.
After speaking, Lynn glanced at Lauren behind him.
Lauren stepped forward very sensiblely, and put the things in the sackcloth in her arms on the table.
Hearing the crisp sound of things knocking on the table inside.
Ted froze for a moment, then seemed to think of something.
He glanced at Lynn in surprise.
His eyes flickered slightly.
Glancing at the tightly closed door, Ted lifted the sackcloth.
Seeing the fire gun on the table.
He glanced at Lynn with some apprehension.
It's okay to shoot when there is fire, it's not a big deal.
However, it is not easy to be able to take out six firearms at once.
In this remote town, there are only two places where so many firearms can be produced at one time.
One is the town's Baron Badward, and the other is the town's police station.
Of course, it is not ruled out that they came from other places to sell this batch of firearms to him on purpose.
But... Although the Huosui gun can be sold at a good price in the black market~IndoMTL.com~, it is not too expensive, because in essence, the Huosui gun is only strictly controlled, and it is actually not difficult to manufacture It is very large, and the materials needed are not very scarce.
After all, it has been equipped on a large scale in the army.
"I can recycle a gun at the price of forty silver coins." Seeing that Lynn was not very satisfied with this price.
Ted added: "Actually, this price is already very favorable. After all, this gun is not affordable for anyone, and finding a buyer is also very troublesome. If I can't find a buyer, I can only buy it. It fell into my own hands."
"Yes." Lynn said.
"Sell all six of these to you, and some of them will be paid for the toll, and the rest will be paid to me."
Ted nodded, "Please wait a moment."
Then Ted got up and left the room.
Looking at Ted's back, Lauren looked away.
"Master, will he inform you?" Lauren asked in a low voice.
"I don't know, but he certainly won't until he's sure who's behind us," Lynn said.
Businessmen are profit-seeking, and the smarter they are, the more they think. Before he is sure who is behind him, Ted will not offend anyone rashly.
By the time he found out, he and the teacher had already left.
As long as you have money, you can't go to Bangor Harbor from anywhere.
Besides, even if you tell me, don't be afraid, the town's defense force has been greatly damaged, and now there is no spare power to chase yourself and the teacher.
Of course, these are all based on the premise that the teacher is a powerful wizard.
The teacher told me to find a carriage and find the carriage by myself, so I don't have to worry about the rest of the safety issues.
When the time comes, the fighting teacher will be in the front, and you can call 666 from the back.
