Chapter 371: Knight James Is Also a Genius Swordsman
“I’m completely bankrupt now. Unless I pay off all my previous debts, I won’t be allowed to have more than three silver coins on me.”
“The current situation isn’t important. What’s important is that I want to know if you deny it?”
“If I can’t pay it back at all, then what’s the point of getting certified?”
“You must have something more important than money, right?”
The short conversation made Morton understand what Lei Luo meant.
The conversation let Morton know that Lei Luo was a shrewd debt collector.
But that was not all he wanted to know.
As a businessman, Morton had a pair of eyes that could see through human nature.
These eyes were the most important in Morton’s business career.
They were also one of the proudest family treasures.
The instinct of a top businessman was different.
Every time Morton met a person, he would get used to having a price for the person in front of him.
However, now, Morton looked at Lei Luo in silence.
In his heart, he was already secretly setting a price for this young man.
In the past, every time Morton talked to a person for more than a minute, even after brief eye contact, he could get a general understanding of the character of the person in front of him.
He had a general understanding of his mind.
It was like the luster of a sword.
It was like a sharp blade.
When humans communicate with the outside world, they would always unconsciously release their own light and temperament.
And this light and temperament was the key to determining his pricing.
Morton and Lei Luo looked at each other for a full five seconds. However, after passing through the layers of disguises that covered the surface, behind him, he actually saw a cloud of fog.
“How old are you?”
Morton’s question was suddenly inexplicable.
But Lei Luo still answered, “Eighteen years old.”
“Eighteen?”
Morton’s eyebrows slightly rose.
His face also showed a surprised look.
After a while, he smiled faintly and shook his head.
He sighed again.
“As expected of that person’s student.”
The corners of Morton’s mouth lifted slightly.
Just as he was about to say a few words pretending to be an expert, his eyes suddenly jerked.
His tone suddenly changed.
His entire expression suddenly froze.
Lei Luo turned his head and saw Arthur’s expression freeze as well.
At the same time, the pain was clearly magnified.
As Lei Luo turned around, he looked behind him.
A tall woman pushed the door open and walked in.
The woman was very tall and had short black hair.
She was dressed in finely cut clothes, but she could not conceal the greatness of her chest, which revealed a snow-white color.
She also had snow-white slender legs and translucent water-blue high heels.
There was no smile on her expressionless face.
However, she also didn’t look sad.
She seemed light, but she didn’t seem cold.
It was as if she was rejecting you straight to your face.
You will not feel her focus on you, but you will be able to feel her watching you from behind.
And even if there was no one behind you, you would also feel that she was floating with the air behind you.
Arthur licked his lips and suddenly said, “It’s a soldier.”
“How do you know?” Morton asked.
“Only female soldiers have such bouncy breasts.”
Arthur’s expression when he answered was extremely serious.
Arthur nodded his head heavily in agreement.
The woman turned a blind eye to the three people in the shop.
She walked to a table by the window and sat down with her back facing the three people.
Through the floor-to-ceiling glass window, she looked at the huge statue in the center of the square.
“Give me a glass of ‘original.’ ” She spoke with a cold voice.
Morton put down the drink in his hand.
He skillfully mixed a glass of sky-blue blended wine and sent it over.
Lei Luo looked at Morton’s wretched back and muttered, “So? Why is there such a strange wine?”
“‘It’s because of the sign of this place. The square in front is called the original square.”
Arthur tilted his head and said to Lei Luo in a dominant tone, as if he was showing off.
Lei Luo looked at Morton bending over and putting him on the table and casually asked, “Why is it called that?”
“Uh...this...” Arthur was momentarily at a loss for words.
“I’ve heard others call me that since I was young. As for why, I really don’t know.”
At this moment, Morton, who had returned to the bar counter after delivering the wine, said, “More than ten years ago, one of the dukes of the second province, the border between the East God Alliance and the Dark Dragon Alliance, controlled this area. Due to the restriction of both parties, this place became a vacuum of power. There were many different forces here. At that time, this place was still a desolate place, belonging to the territory of the city that held Lord Feng Shen’s forces. Later on, magic crystal mines were discovered here, and they were of the highest purity. For a time, this place became the focus of attention of all the forces. Although City Lord Feng Shen was also an overlord at that time, he owned more than ten cities. However, not to mention behemoths like the East God Alliance and the Dark Dragon Alliance, there were dozens of them around him, and they were on par with his faction. At the same time, he was unable to refine equipment that could activate magic crystal stones. Although he had a treasure mountain to recruit evil dragons, he was unable to turn it into a sharp weapon against evil dragons. Therefore, after much thought, he finally decided to give this city to his daughter as a dowry, and then contact the East God Dragon for marriage. It was also a good shade under the big tree. The East God Alliance also wanted to enter the second province, so both of them hit it off. But because the dowry of City Lord Feng Shen was too expensive, the East God Alliance let Feng Shen choose the woman he liked. In fact, Feng Shen’s daughter Feng Xin had already fallen in love with the core members of East Death long ago. James was also alone at that time, so the East God Alliance tried their best to facilitate this marriage. Speaking of which, this knight James was also a genius swordsman. He was an extraordinary hero. However, although he was single at that time, he seemed to have an ambiguous relationship with one of the daughters of the feudal lords. I don’t know if it was because of his lust for beauty or the city, or to protect the interests of the East God Alliance. In short, this marriage was completed.”
Bang!
The three of them were shocked.
They looked in the direction of the sound.
It turned out that the woman had finished the wine in her glass and smashed the glass heavily on the table.
“Boss, another glass.”
Morton was busy again.
After returning, he picked up the original glass of red wine and drank it.
“Keep talking!”
Seeing that Morton had no intention to continue, Arthur hurriedly asked.
“Ah? Aren’t you here to collect?”
Morton glanced at the envelope and emblem on the table.
Then he continued, “Where was I?”
“No rush. We can talk about that slowly.”
Lei Luo was also interested in this event from the past.
