Walking on the Zoutlan Street, blowing a hot and humid breeze, the high-spirited Klein suddenly thought of a thing:

Only 3 pence of change is left on my body. When you return to Iron Cross Street by public carriage, you need 4 pence, and take 1gold pound banknotes to change the other party, just like you bought 100 pieces of low-cost mineral water before cross over The way, can't pull that face.

"Sit 3 kilometers with 3 pence, and walk back the rest of the way?" Klein put one hand in his pocket, slowed his pace, and thought about other ways.

"No!" Soon, he rejected the previous idea.

The rest of the journey is just a matter of time. For a while, with 12 pounds of "big money", it is too unsafe!

And I was worried that the revolver was confiscated by "Night Watcher". I didn't carry it on my body today. I really encountered any danger caused by the death of Welch. There will be no resistance!

"Find a bank nearby for a change? No, no. Five thousandths of handling fees are too extravagant!" Klein shook his head silently, and felt distressed when he thought about the possible handling fees!

The methods were ruled out one by one, and Klein suddenly lit up and saw a coat shop!

Yeah, is n’t the most normal way of thinking to buy something at the right price for change?

Formal clothes, shirts, waistcoats, pants, leather boots, and walking sticks are all in the budget. Buy early and buy late!

Well, it ’s very troublesome to try clothes, and Benson knows better than me and is more willing to bargain. You can think about it when he comes back ...

So buy a cane?

Good! There is a proverb that says that the cane is the best self-defense weapon of a gentleman. It can be used as a crowbar, and a pistol and a cane are the fighting methods of civilized people!

Those thoughts were over, Klein made up his mind, turned his body halfway, and turned into that "Wilcker Clothing Store".

The layout of the coat shop is very similar to his clothing store in front of cross over. On the left is a row of formal wear against the wall, in the center are shirts, trousers, vests and ties, etc. On the right there is a pair of leather shoes in a glass cabinet , Leather boots.

"Sir, what do you want to buy?" A male clerk in a white shirt and red vest greeted him and asked politely.

In Ruen Kingdom, because the gentlemen who have the position, power and wealth like to wear white shirts, black vests, black pants and black formal clothes, the colors are quite monotonous, so the male servants, shop assistants and waiters are required to wear the colors. Gorgeous, or colorful, to distinguish between master and servant.

Compared to this, the ladies and ladies have different dresses and gorgeous decorations, and the maid can only match black with white, or white with black.

Facing questions from the male shop assistant, Klein thought about it:

"Canes, a little heavy, and a little hard."

The kind that can beat other people ’s heads!

The clerk in the red vest glanced at Klein secretly and led him into the store, pointing to the row of canes in the corner:

"The root of embeded with gold is made of iron heart wood, which is very heavy and hard. 11shilling7 pence, do you want to try it?"

11shilling7 pence? Why don't you grab it? It's amazing to put some gold? Klein was taken aback by the price.

His face was quiet, and he nodded slightly:

"Okay."

The clerk in the red waistcoat took off the iron heart wood walking stick and handed it to Klein carefully, looking like he was afraid of breaking the goods.

As soon as the Klein took the cane, he felt heavy and tried to move, and found that he could not swing smoothly.

"It's too heavy." Klein shook his head and relaxed.

This is no excuse!

The clerk in the red vest puts back the iron heart wood walking stick and points to three other roads:

"This is walnut tree, made by Thengen's most famous cane craftsman Mr. Hess, 10shilling3 pennies ... this is driftwood, inlaid with silver, as hard as steel, 7shilling6 pennies ... this is made by the heart of white poly tree It's also inlaid with silver, 7shilling10pence ... "

Klein took the test one by one, and found that the weight was more appropriate. Then, he tapped again, roughly grasping the hardness of each cane. Finally, he chose the cheapest one.

"Just the root of driftwood." Klein pointed to the silver-staffed rod head in the hands of the red vest clerk.

"Okay, sir, please go over there with me to pay. In the future, if this cane shows signs of wear or smudges, we can handle it for you, free of charge." The red vest staff led the Klein to the counter.

Klein took advantage of this opportunity to unfold the four gold pounds in his palm and take out one of the smaller ones.

"Hello, 7shilling6 pence." The clerk behind the counter saluted with a smile.

Klein wanted to maintain the decency of a gentleman, but when he extended his left hand holding 1gold pound banknotes, he could n’t help but speak:

"Can it be cheaper?"

"Sir, this is all handmade, our cost is very high." The red vest clerk answered next, "And the owner is not here, we are not qualified to help him cut prices."

The clerk behind the counter followed Echo:

"Sir, sorry."

"Okay." Klein handed over the banknotes and took a black cane with a silver head on it from the red vest clerk.

Waiting for the change, he stepped back a few steps and opened the distance, trying the swing effect of the "off-hand weapon" to a small extent.

Wū ! Wū ! Wū !

The wind is very heavy, the texture is broken, Klein nodded in satisfaction.

He turned his gaze back to the front, preparing to see the banknotes and coins, but he was surprised to find that the red vest clerk was far away, and the man behind the counter shrunk to the corner, close to the double-barreled shotgun hanging on the wall.

Ruen Kingdom implements a semi-regulated policy on thermal weapons. If you want to hold a gun, you need to apply for "all weapons permit" or "Hunting Certificate", but no matter what kind, you can not have a burst rifle, steam high-pressure gun and six-barrel machine gun Wait for arms control things.

"all weapons permit" can purchase and save any kind of civilian firearms at will, but it is extremely troublesome to obtain, even a businessman with a certain status may not pass the audit, and the "hunting certificate" is relatively easy, even farmers in the suburbs can take Yes, but this type of license is limited to the use of shotguns, and there are restrictions on the number. Many people with small assets will apply for one to do self-insurance in critical situations, such as now ...

…… Klein looks at full of alert two shop assistants, the corners of their mouths twitched, he said with a dry smile:

"Yes, this cane is very suitable for waving, I am very satisfied."

Seeing that he had no intention of attacking, the shop assistant behind the counter relaxed and handed out the banknotes and copper coins he had just found.

Klein took a glance and saw that there were two 5shilling, two 1shilling banknotes, and one 5p and one pence copper coin, and nodded.

After two seconds, he ignored the clerk ’s gaze and opened four banknotes at the bright place one by one to confirm that the anti-counterfeiting patterns and watermarks were correct.

After doing all this, Klein put the banknotes and coins separately, took a cane, and helped top hat, walked out of "Wilcker Clothing Store" like a gentleman, and sat luxuriously near the trackless public carriage, after a change After multiplying and spending a total of 6 pence, I successfully returned to the apartment.

Close the door. He counted 11 pounds of 12shilling banknotes three times before putting them in the desk drawer, and then found the pistol with the copper-colored wheel and wooden grip.

ding dong!

Five brass bullets landed on the desk one after another. Klein inserted the silver "demon hunting bullet" with complex patterns and Sacred Emblem of Darkness into the runner one by one.

Similarly, he only stuffed five, leaving a space to prevent accidental firing, and the rest were stored in the small iron box with the five normal bullets just removed.

Pap!

With the runners closed, Klein feels a lot more secure.

He put the revolver into the underarm gun pocket happily, buckled firmly, and then practiced the action of unbuttoning and pulling the gun over and over again. rest continued for a while after his arms became sore, until the sky would be dark, and rent appeared in the aisle. The sound of passengers walking around.

Hoo! Klein exhaled and put the left wheel back into the underarm gun pocket.

It wasn't until this time that he changed his formal wear and waistcoat, put on his daily brown coat, and started his arm relaxation exercise.

Dad, da, da, the footsteps approached, the key was inserted into the keyhole, and the sound of twisting sounded.

The Melissa in soft black hair pushed in the door, her nose twitched invisibly, her eyes swept over the stove that was not lit at all, and the look in her eyes suddenly dimmed a little.

"Klein, I will cook the rest of the ingredients from last night together. Benson may come back tomorrow." Melissa turned to look at his brother.

Klein put his hands in his pockets, his thighs leaned against the edge of the desk, and smiled:

"No, let's eat out."

"Go out to eat?" Melissa asked in amazement.

"How about‘ Silver Crown Restaurant ’at Narcissus Flower Street? I heard it tastes great.” Klein made suggestions.

"Yes, but ..." Melissa still didn't figure out the situation.

Klein smiled and said:

"Celebrate I found a job."

"Have you found a job?" Melissa's voice grew unconsciously, "But, isn't the interview for Thengen University tomorrow?"

"Another job." Klein smiled and took the stack of notes from the drawer. "They also paid me four weeks' salary in advance."

The pictures of Melissa looks at, gold pound and shilling, eyes wide open:

"Goddess ... you, they, you, what job did you find?"

This ... Klein looks stagnant and considers the language:

"A security company whose mission is to find, collect and protect antiquities, they need professional consultants, five-year contracts, and £ 3 a week."

"... Did you worry about this last night?" Melissa silently affirmed.

Klein nodded and said:

"Yes, being a Thengen University instructor is more decent, but I prefer this job."

"... Actually, it is also very good." Melissa smiled with encouragement, asking with half doubt and half curiosity, "How can they advance your salary for four weeks?"

"Because we need to move, we need more rooms, and we need our own bathroom." Klein's mouth turned up and said.

He felt that he was smiling impeccably, and he only asked the question "Are you surprised?"

Melissa startled, suddenly speaking quickly and slightly flustered:

"Klein, we actually lived pretty well. I occasionally complain that it is just a habit not to have my own bathroom. Do you remember Jenny? The one who lived next door to us used to move since her father was injured and lost his job. Going down the street, a family of five people can only live in one room, sleeping in three high and low beds, and two on the ground. They also want to rent the remaining floor space to others ... "

“Compared with her family, we are very lucky and lucky, do n’t waste your salary on this matter, and I like the bread room of Mrs. Slim.”

Sister, your reaction is different from the script I expected ... Klein heard a dull face.
