Chapter 68: Running away with rolled money
The money bag is made of dark brown leather, the surface has been carefully polished, and the edges are reinforced with delicate twine.
The seal is designed with strong rope perforation and binding.
The knot is complex and clever. It is designed to be easy to open quickly, but not easy to be untied by outsiders, ensuring the safety of the gold coins inside.
The purse itself is probably worth several silver coins.
Gothe quickly picked up the money bag and unsealed it. You could see that the inside of the money bag was lined with a layer of soft wool fabric.
This design is to reduce the sound of gold coins colliding with each other, and also to protect the coins from scratches or corrosion.
Hundreds of Sean gold coins lay quietly in the money bag, shining with golden light, making Gothe's eyes shine.
The heavy weight is even more reassuring.
"You have counted the 300 Sean gold coins, but don't say you didn't count them enough afterwards. I won't admit it." Oliver said calmly.
Gao De smiled sarcastically: "Can I still not trust you?"
Gao De poured out the gold coins from his purse, counted them carefully twice, and then put the gold coins back into his purse.
Putting the money bag into his pocket, Gothe took out the secret box that he had prepared long ago and handed it to Oliver: "What you want."
Oliver's eyes brightened slightly and he answered He passed the secret box, then pressed hard with his right hand, trying to open the box - just like Gaode, knowing that he couldn't open it, but he just wanted to give it a try.
After confirming that the secret box could not be opened, Oliver gave up and shook the box slightly.
A rustling sound came from the secret box, just like the sound of fine sand sliding down.
After listening to the sound coming from the secret box and weighing the weight of the secret box, Oliver smiled with satisfaction.
Based on his experience, he has been able to confirm that there is a lot of paper in the secret box.
Obviously it’s not just land deeds and house deeds.
As for a potion master, apart from the property deed of the medicine garden, what other paper can he hide in the secret box?
With the signing of the transfer contract and the employment contract, the "watchers" who had been wandering outside the Seda Medicine Garden finally disappeared.
The next step is a series of transfer processes.
Of course, for Oliver, the most important thing is to open the secret box and take out the land and house deeds.
Anyway, it will take a few days.
However, this does not affect the apprentices in the medicine garden to continue working, or even work harder.
After all, you just got a new owner, and you have to show your performance to the new owner.
Of course, they continued to respect Gaode, although he was no longer the master of the medicine garden.
But everyone also knows that Gothe has been hired as a potion master by Phil's Potion Store, and his status is obviously higher than theirs.
Whether it is emotional or rational, their attitude towards Gaode will not change at all.
Hua Yanyue, 25th.
Phil's Potion Store, second floor.
Oliver, dressed in a dark silk robe, held a scroll and walked back to the room in a hurry with his eyes shining.
After closing the door, he bent down and took out the beautifully carved wooden box from the cabinet under the table.
With a potion store as big as Phil's Potion Store in hand, there is no reason for Oliver not to know the knowledge that Pierre knows.
So on the first day after knowing the existence of the secret box from Gothe, he had already sent people to Bremen City to purchase the tapping spell scroll.
Now seven days have passed, and the tapping spell scroll has finally been obtained.
Putting the secret box on the table, Oliver rubbed his hands excitedly, and then opened the spell scroll.
After a burst of magic, the scroll turned into ashes and disappeared.
Secret Box scored twice.
Oliver excitedly picked up the secret box and pushed it gently. The box, which had not moved at all no matter how hard he tried, was opened.
What caught his eye was a box full of paper pages, just as he expected.
"Huh?" Before the happiness could completely rise, he frowned. Oliver frowned and took it out. The top piece of paper:
"Name: Seda Medicine Garden
Number of people: 8
Fixed assets: one medicine garden and four medicine fields (respectively producing Out of the snake tooth grass, sagebrush, alpine ironwood root, sun fruit)
Cash held: 8 copper
Fixed expenditure: 4-5 silver/day (living expenses)
Income: 15-20 silver/day (fixed output of primary spider poison potion), unable The expected irregular income is not included for the time being
Unfixed expenditures: herb seedlings, fertilizers, materials required for "nutritional soil" configuration"
Looking over the contents of the paper, Oliver's His expression froze, "What is this? ”
He was still in disbelief. He put the page aside with dull eyes and took out the second page from the secret box. Then came the third, then the fourth
Finally, Oliver stopped taking out the pages one by one, and shook the box hard, and all the papers in it suddenly fell out and flew around the room.
What house deeds, land deeds, and the incomplete first-level potion formula he expected.
No, not at all, just a pile of waste paper!
"Gothe! Gothe!"
Oliver's gnashing teeth and extremely angry voice echoed in the room.
At this moment, Amy, like Oliver, was staring at a note in a daze.
After he returned to his room after dinner, he found this note and 5 Sean gold coins that shone faintly on the table.
The note was left by Gaode.
The above content is also very simple. It just tells him that Hogan City should not stay for a long time and leaves him a traveling expenses. If he believes him, he will find a way to leave as soon as possible.
After being stunned for a while, Amy suddenly reacted.
He suddenly grabbed the note, ran out of the house, and rushed to Gothe's room.
The door is not locked and opens when pushed.
Just opening the door and taking a look, where is Gaode anywhere in the room?
Amy closed the door again, rushed out of the medicine garden, and looked around at the door of the medicine garden.
Everywhere you look, you can see the vast expanse of land or lush green mountains and forests.
Leaving this small medicine garden, the world is so big, who can know which direction Gaode, who has no relatives or friends, will go?
Amy stood there in despair, not knowing what she was thinking.
After staying motionless for a long time, he seemed to have finally come to his senses.
After sighing softly, Amy whispered to herself in the air: "I hope you will take care of yourself!"
Then, he turned around and walked back to the medicine garden, and his lonely back quickly disappeared into the shadows. .
A small caravan consisting of more than a dozen carriages was leaving the city.
Since the Nottingham coal mines have dried up, Hogan City needs to purchase all the coal it needs from other places.
As a result, many small caravans sprang up that specialized in purchasing coal and transporting it to Hogan City for resale.
This caravan is engaged in this business.
Gaode was sitting on one of the slightly empty carriages.
The carriage was originally used to load coal, but the coal had been unloaded in Hogan City. Now that it was the return journey, it was naturally empty.
So, after some bargaining, Gothe only paid 15 silver coins to get the caravan leader to agree to give him a lift.
The carriage used to transport goods was not clean, full of soot left by coal, and the ride was quite bumpy and uncomfortable.
However, because it was a cargo truck, the two horses pulling the truck were both in their prime and ran very vigorously.
The overall number of people in the caravan is not large, they are all simple people who make hard money.
The driver of his carriage was a taciturn, dark, thin, middle-aged man. Except for a few words with Gothe when he got on the carriage, he almost never spoke again.
This also made Gaode very satisfied.
Sitting on the carriage, the breeze blows on my face.
"This is the caravan I found temporarily. Before today, even I didn't know which caravan I would leave with."
"So even if Oliver has the means, he will definitely not be able to find out who I am." How did you leave? "
Gothe touched the money bag that was carefully placed on his chest, and felt particularly comfortable listening to the constant creaking sound of the wooden wheels running over the ground.
This world is very dangerous outside the city.
Even the official roads built and maintained by the government are not necessarily safe. Ferocious beasts and even earth-line creatures often appear randomly.
Therefore, in this world, most civilians generally do not leave the city easily.
Even if they can, they usually travel in groups.
Although Gothe is a mage apprentice, it does not mean that he is not afraid of the dangers in the wild.
The more important thing is that Gaode is not familiar with the road.
Although his name is Gaode, it does not mean that he will not really get lost.
Therefore, leaving the city with a caravan that is very familiar with the official roads around Hogan City and has a large number of people who can take care of each other is definitely the best choice at the moment.
As the convoy walked farther and farther, looking at the shadow of Hogan City gradually disappearing on the horizon, Gothe said silently in his heart:
Goodbye, Hogan City!
