Paul, who was drawing a blueprint in his mind and looked smug, obviously didn't expect Phil to ask this. He coughed and immediately changed the subject: "By the way, have you eaten? There is a Datli tavern nearby. Quite good. A sumptuous luxury meal for one person, only costs three gold coins."
"Thank you, I have dry food with me." Phil took out a piece of white bread and a ceramic tube filled with honey. He picked up some honey with a table knife, spread it evenly on the bread, and said in his mouth : "Well, I'll just eat some. Tell me what happened after you left."
Seeing that Phil was still unwilling to give up, Paul felt like a deflated balloon. He suddenly drooped down, grimacing, and said dejectedly: "Okay, I admit, I suffered a big loss."
Phil slowly chewed the leftover lunch, and while listening to Paul talk about his experience, his expression gradually became weird. This matter was actually different from what he had thought before. There was no bloody hero-saving complex, nor was there any weird routine of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. But a complete tragedy!
At that time, the first thing Paul did when he entered Glory City was to take out some of the gold bricks and jewelry he had on hand and exchange them for currency. Thinking about how I felt after I just got 10,000 gold coins, I was so high-spirited that I couldn't help but want to do something big. During this period, Paul not only studied market demand and looked for business opportunities. Paul, who is very proficient in various communication methods, relied on his extraordinary "personal charm" on his second day in the city. I hooked up with a local vigilante who was relatively easy to get along with in the city. After a treat for dinner. He was immediately drawn into a middle-class social circle where local businessmen gathered.
In order to quickly integrate into them, gain a foothold in these various business circles, and at the same time make a name for himself, Paul took great pains, and also chose a relatively stupid way to promote his financial resources. For two days in a row, he casually lost 3,000 gold coins on the gambling table without even blinking an eye when he deliberately let the situation slip. For a time, Paul's reputation spread like wildfire as he was stupid and had a lot of money, and he was generous and generous in spending huge sums of money. His "very mysterious" identity has also attracted many people's speculation. Many chambers of commerce have extended an olive branch and expressed their tendency to cooperate. At that time, Paul was very proud, and he was still thinking about using this opportunity to move in and take root here to do business. Or take the opportunity to make some money and run away. Hesitating between a stable life and displacement. But by the third day, poor Paul was filled with joy and sorrow.
A business group invited Paul to a well-known club for a banquet in the name of cooperation. After the conversation, Paul couldn't stand the enthusiastic banquet of these businessmen who took advantage of every opportunity, so he was pulled into a private cocktail party as a distinguished guest. At this cocktail party, there was a lot of money, guests coming and going, and countless dancers with white thighs exposed, twisting their snake-like bodies, looking extremely enthusiastic. Paul, who grew up in a chaotic era like the continent of Aland, used to be a trickster. Abduction. Most of the people I met were adventurers with straightforward personalities. How had I ever seen such a luxurious and comfortable life of feasting and feasting? I couldn't control it for a moment and fell into the trap. He was actually smitten by a dancing girl who looked very seductive in revealing clothing, and got very drunk. I don¡¯t even remember what I said. Anyway, when I woke up the next day, I had already been thrown into a smelly ditch. Moreover, he was stripped naked in a daze, and even the room was ransacked.
Paul got up and went to inquire again. The steward of the business group who had been laughing at Yan Yan yesterday suddenly turned his back and commanded a group of thugs to beat the weak Paul. Moreover, he looked at Paul with great disdain and said coldly that he had connections with higher-ups, telling Paul, a country bumpkin, to go back to his mountain den. Paul, who had been tricked, was naturally angry and anxious. He felt that he had no face to see Phil again and did not go back to seek help. Fortunately, he had previously put a thousand gold coins as a deposit in a hotel that was listed for sale. Otherwise, he would really be living on the streets. That's what happened after that. The hotel that is ready for sale is exactly the "Red Strawberry". Paul originally took a fancy to the geographical advantages of this land and planned to decorate the hotel. Become your own Paul Shop. The reason why I didn't pay in full was because the landlady needed money urgently and thought the price could be kept low. But now not only does he have no money to pay, but if he wants to withdraw the money, he has to repay the other party's liquidated damages in return. I could only say with a shy face that I actually wanted to buy a share, and I just moved in with the tacit approval of the landlady. Hide here to study plans to make a fortune.
"My friend, there is a saying that every step of the way is learned."
Paul's pitiful expression made Phil couldn't help but laugh, which made Paul even more embarrassed. He jumped up and said angrily: "What's so funny? I'm in big trouble this time. Businessmen in this world They are all bastards. They all hide their knives in their smiles. They are simply worse than damn Sherlock.?. "
Phil nodded, this is the difference of the times. Paul will be deceived by this group of people, of course not because he has a low IQ, but because he is too confident and does not have enough understanding of the new world. Even though the appearance is the same, whether it is living habits or thinking, he is still using his previous life experience as a reference. Just as the ideas of the 20th century suddenly collide with the concepts and lifestyles of the new era, it will naturally cause people to feel dizzy and dizzy. Compared with these villains who are accustomed to corrupting others with drinking parties, beautiful women and even drugs, Paul, who has no "alcohol test", does look like a country boy who has just entered the big city, but he is still too simple and honest.
"What's the name of this business group? What's its origin?" Phil asked.
Paul gritted his teeth and said: "It's called the Locke Merchant Group. It's a business group organized by Viscount Koroda. It's just a mere Viscount, how dare you be so arrogant! These bastards!"
"Actually, I'm curious now, how are you going to retaliate against them?" Phil looked at Paul and asked curiously.
"No! How could I do such a thing?" Paul held a piece of copper and said fiercely: "Of course, I can't guarantee that after I throw away these tools and scrapped badges, some people will I thought I was a fool and picked it up. And I happened to be caught by the city defense troops who came over for inspection!"
??????????????????????????? Phil took a breath of cold air, this guy is really vicious. In this way, no matter whether they have done it or not, they will probably be investigated by the Mages Guild. Even Viscount Koroda will be implicated. Where is the prison guarded by the city defense army? After entering, even if you don't die, you will still have to shed a layer of skin. For a moment, Phil already lamented for these guys.
