The guests arrived at different times.
The first guest to arrive was an energetic old man. The old man's beard and hair are all white, but his body is quite strong. Although the clothes are gorgeous, judging from the calloused hands and the weather-beaten wrinkles on his face, the old man should not be a person who often pampers himself. After walking into the shop accompanied by two family members, when he saw Liana, the old man nodded and gave a date sixty years ago.
After giving a gentle nod to the old man as a gift, Liana took out a black-covered account book from a drawer on the counter, opened it to a certain number of pages, and brought the account book to the old man. After carefully looking at the account book, the old man took out a thick envelope filled with banknotes from his pocket, handed the envelope to Liana with both hands, and said apologetically:
"I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. I remember the last time I came here, you were a young girl. In my lifetime, I thought I had no chance to pay off this debt. Fortunately, one of my grandchildren has been successful in business recently, otherwise, I would have no choice but to make a will and then die with regrets."
"What are you talking about? Even if you are unable to pay the bill, we will not think that you are deliberately defaulting. It is our honor to be able to help you." Liana said with a gentle smile.
"It's great to have such trust from you. However, if we follow our tradition, debts will still be punished. Thank you again for your help." The old man bowed and said. Lianna hurriedly returned the favor and sent the old man out of the door.
Not long after the old man left, the second person who walked into the store was a red-haired woman with a very rich color. She left in a hurry. After telling the date, she left a snakeskin wallet full of banknotes and left quickly. Liana sent her out of the store equally politely. The woman glanced gratefully at the respect Lianna had shown her.
Each of these two guests left a considerable amount of money. Judging from the amount, any amount will be enough to cover the expenses of this hotel for quite some time.
Harry, who saw all this in his eyes, did not raise any questions about it. Respecting other people's secrets is one of Harry's strengths. Seeing the situation just now, he had already made a decision. Unless the master took the initiative to tell him something, he would not ask anything.
The class continued, and Liana had the same attitude as Betty about Dis's desire to learn guns from Harry. They did not forcibly stop Dis's wishes, but complied with his decision.
About three hours after the woman left, and shortly after the three of Harry had lunch, the shop welcomed its third customer.
It is different from the previous two guests. Harry could tell at a glance that this third guest was not from here. But he is not a tourist like Harry either. The third guest has an aura that is incompatible with this city. Light green military jacket, dark gray canvas trousers. In this late autumn season, his clothes were obviously too thin.
After entering the door, this person did not go directly to the counter. Instead, he sat at a table on the left side of the innermost part of the shop. He looked at his surroundings with a slightly nervous expression.
Liana walked up to him, with a smile on her face, and asked the man: "I don't know, sir, what do you want to order?"
"II" The guest hesitated for a moment, then continued: "I want a rose-flavored macaroni, plus the kind of blue and white pepper specially produced in Kara Country in the Eastern Continent."
"Oh, this is our specialty dish. If you know the name of this dish, it must be introduced by a familiar customer. Can you tell me his name?" Liana asked with a smile.
Hearing Lianna's answer, the man felt relieved, and he hurriedly said a name.
Lianna opened the account book, flipped through it, and said: "You said that gentleman is a regular customer. I trust that gentleman just like I trust you. So besides that special dish, what else is special about you?" What about the request?¡±
"I come from the far away Moorish Republic. You probably know that there has been civil strife there for a long time. My name is Leon Oven. I traveled to several countries before coming to this city, but I don't have a valid identity passport. , my life is difficult. By chance, I met the gentleman who introduced me here. He said that you can help me here. So I took the liberty to come. I urgently need a job to stay in this city. A work certificate and a valid passport from your home country,¡± Lyon said.
"Using the loopholes in the computer and the blind spots in the city's application process, it is not difficult to meet your requirements. I can give you all the documents you need in three days. In fact, even if you want a Class A passport from the Grand Federation, As long as the reason is sufficientIt's not hard to get. Please wait for the good news. Thenthe way you pay the bill" Liana said.
"Credit. I guarantee with my personality that I will repay it." Leon Owen said sincerely.
"Very good, then you can get those things in three days. Please sit down for a while, and I will ask you to prepare our special dishes right away." Liana smiled.
Soon after Leon waited, Liana served him lunch, and along with the sumptuous lunch was a dark gray coat with thick material.
"It's very cold outside. This is a free gift from our restaurant. If it's inconvenient for you these days, you might as well stay in our store. The price can be particularly discounted." Lianna said with a smile.
"No, I'm almost penniless. How dare I bother you any more? Don't worry, I will repay this credit even if it takes my whole life." Putting on the coat, Leon O. Wen bowed deeply and gratefully to Liana, turned around and walked out of the store.
Seeing the scene just now, combined with the situation of the first two guests. Harry had a general understanding of the business scope of this small store.
The forgery of various certification documents is an ancient profession that has existed since the beginning of civilization. This has never been a legal profession, and people who are successful in this area basically have extremely close ties with the underground dark forces. While obtaining extremely high profits, it also comes with considerable risks. Harry now knew the reason why Dis wanted to learn how to shoot from him.
? Around ten o¡¯clock that evening, after the lecture ended. Pushing Dis aside, Liana sat in front of Harry.
"As the spokesperson of the Lord, a holy Catholic priest who advocates justice, and who is brave enough to do what is right, do you have any opinion on the business philosophy of our store that floutes the law, deceives authority, and disrupts social order?" Fill Harry's tea cup with freshly brewed tea. Lianna asked with a smile over a new pot of tea.
Lowering his head slightly and expressing his gratitude to Lianna, Harry smiled and replied: "Everyone has their own different interpretation of justice. I don't think that laws and creeds represent justice, and I don't believe that there is anything in this world that suits everyone. Standard absolute justice exists. I am just an ordinary person who acts according to my own rules. I haven¡¯t had the consciousness of a messenger of justice for a long time.¡±
"and¡¡"
"I am just an abandoned priest now. The silver cross on my chest is no longer protected by the Holy Catholic Order. You are my respected elder, and I believe you also have your own Code." Pointing to the Holy Catholic symbol on his chest, Harry smiled and revealed his identity.
"People who hold different righteousnesses in a church community are bound to be ostracized, right? Is that why you became an abandoned priest?" Just like Harry's tolerant attitude towards the illegal business of this small shop, Lianna He didn't express too much surprise about Harry's identity as an abandoned priest. Liana asked after picking up the tea cup in front of her and taking a sip of water.
"Absolutely. To be more precise, it was after an incident that I truly eliminated my confusion and found my own path," Harry said. In contrast to the smile on his face, there was a flash of pain in his eyes.
"Haha Our store has been a long-established store for hundreds of years." Seeing Harry's distress, Liana changed the topic with consideration.
"Oh?" Harry said.
"When our ancestors came to this city by boat, the situation was similar to that of Mr. Lyon in the afternoon. None of the forty-odd companions on the boat could have a legal residence certificate. What awaited them would be The fate of expulsion. They are all a group of honest and reliable people. My ancestor was just a third-rate artist at that time, and his only specialty was identifying fakes." At this point, Lianna laughed to herself.
"The people who finally escaped from the war-torn mother country were almost penniless at that time. If they did not quickly obtain residence rights and find jobs in this city, they would have no chance of survival. There is no choice, my My ancestors used his expertise, and as a top expert in identifying fakes, he can certainly identify the shortcomings and flaws in the fakes he made and find ways to make up for them."
"The result was that all the companions on the ship survived on forged documents. And as I have said, they were all very reliable and honest people. They set a price for this forged document that was equal to their lives and swore Repayment. No contract, just more than forty names left in a common ledger."
Liana stood up, walked to the counter, took out the black leather account book, and turned him to the first page. More than forty names stood out, and there was a signature behind each name.
"Later, my ancestors discovered that there were similar difficultiesThere are many people here who are married and have children. He who opened this store made an agreement with his companions that each of them can introduce customers here, and he will help as appropriate. His last will and testament also asked us to continue this tradition. Because we only accept referrals from old customers, we are afraid that customers will not find the location of this store, so the store that has almost no regular customers here has not been relocated. "
"How was it? Do you think my ancestors' decision was the right one?" Liana asked after telling the story.
"The Lord will protect the righteous man's righteous deeds, and his soul will receive eternal life in heaven. Amen." Harry stood up and said with a solemn expression.
"Haha I must leave my last prayers to you, and I will definitely catch a boat to heaven." Liana covered her mouth and laughed.
"It's my pleasure." Harry bowed and said.
"Actually, as long as you keep your own righteousness in many things, you don't have to worry about other things. You can also put many past events aside, as long as you can go your own way, right?" Lianna said.
Harry nodded wordlessly. He knew that Liana was using the past to comfort him, and he was very grateful in his heart. But the past can never be forgotten.
"However, since the Lord has sent you to us, of course I have to ask you something." Liana said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"Is it Little Dis?" Harry asked. Lianna's laissez-faire attitude towards Dis learning how to shoot from him has always surprised Harry, because 'those who are good at swimming will drown', on the planet Akapov, the higher the martial arts skills, the more dangers he will encounter in daily life. tend to be larger. As a first-class martial arts expert, his chance of survival is actually lower than that of a weak scholar who knows nothing.
"No, I am ready to let that son grow up freely. No matter whether he will end up as a good tree or a weed, I will not impose restraints on him with my own will. Thank you for teaching him so many things, I want to say It¡¯s Betty.¡¡±
"Betty?" Harry asked.
"Betty's kid, she has been" Liana was about to say something when the store door was suddenly pushed open. With the sound of the door opening, Betty had already run in with a rush, holding a newspaper in her hand.
"Harry, look. There is something very strange in the newspaper."
cried Betty.
