Chapter 700: House of Money and Horses
.
Semus City, the capital of the Dunmatian Empire.
Compared with those small cities that passed through before, the scale is not a little bit larger.
Jia Zhengjin has been to Tansandia, the capital of the Xiongfeng Empire, and Bolivia, the capital of the Principality of Hales. But it is also a small and medium-sized country, and Semus City is larger and more prosperous than these two capital cities.
The main reason is probably the existence of the Knights Templar.
As the second largest force in the light camp, its reputation among the people is second only to the light church. Therefore, there is an endless stream of believers who come here for pilgrimage. Passengers and businessmen are also willing to stay and rest for a few days to appreciate the unique religious atmosphere here.
Arriving at the entrance of Semos City, Olivia was very nervous in the face of the guarding soldiers checking the passers-by.
She wasn't worried about "Lord Payton" in front of her, but she didn't know what kind of serious situation would happen after the soldiers discovered the true identity of "Lord Payton"! Once the two sides start fighting, will the strong men in the city be able to arrive in time, and will they be able to prevent "Lord Peyton" from turning this place into a world of undead?
And when the time comes, should I assist these soldiers, but my own strength is limited, and it is estimated that I will not pose any threat to "Lord Payton", so should I help "Lord Payton" in turn to gain trust and stay with him? By his side, continue to transmit news and location to the outside world
Compared with the complicated Olivia, Jia Zhengjin walked forward like a normal person.
What made Olivia secretly angry was that these soldiers couldn't recognize the mastermind who had stolen the Hero's Eye in person. They just casually glanced at the mercenary badge on his chest and let him go!
Damn soldiers! Could it be that it has been so long, and the magician over there in Martis City has not sent over the image of "Lord Peyton" looting the museum? Hasn't the Knights Templar learned his true face? Shouldn't they know it that day, and then Issue a city-wide wanted notice?
"Olivia" Jia Zhengjin, who had already entered the city, turned his head and called out when he saw that the newly recruited entourage hadn't followed up.
"Yes!" Although Olivia was very angry at these blind soldiers, since this man entered the city of Semus, it would be difficult to fly! I can notify the Knights Templar at any time and ask their strong men to go out. This is the headquarters of the Knights Templar, and the strongest members of the Knights are here!
Jia Zhengjin walked in front leisurely, and Olivia followed behind with all her heart, leading the two hawks to follow.
The two soon arrived at a luxury hotel in the city,
The name of the store is "The House of Money and Horses".
Of course, Jia Zhengjin knows that it is a good livestock for transportation. But this luxury hotel does not have a money horse, so why is it called such an ugly name?
When he asked this question, the shop owner in front of the counter immediately laughed: "Many people have asked this question. In fact, the reason why it is called the House of Mianma is because my father came to the house alone more than 30 years ago. This city. At that time, he had nothing on his body, only an old and thin penny horse. The penny horse was all his property and was also his playmate since he was a child. My father was hungry for many days and could not get food. Yes, he was dying but unwilling to kill his playmate to feed his hunger. Just when he fainted from hunger, he woke up but the old money horse was gone. Later..."
"What happened later?" Olivia couldn't help asking curiously before Jia Zhengjin could speak.
Jia Zhengjin glanced at her sideways, smiled and continued to look directly at the shop owner.
The owner of the shop sighed with emotion: "Later, a kind noble gentleman came to my father with a lot of money. He said that he was in a hurry when he went out today, so he didn't pay attention to the road ahead. As a result, his horse horned dragon galloped up and took a lot of money. A horse was seriously injured. The nobleman originally thought that an old and thin horse was not a big deal. But when he got off, he saw that the horse was seriously injured, but he insisted on standing up and said With a fruit in his mouth that he didn’t know where to find, he staggered forward. It is said that the noble lord saw tears in the eyes of the horse at that time!”
"How is it possible?" Olivia's eyes widened with disbelief.
"That's right!" the shop owner nodded and said, "No one believes that the horse will shed tears, let alone bring back food for its owner who is about to starve to death. The nobleman was also surprised when he saw it, so he followed the horse one step at a time. I walked one step at a time, and finally came to my father who was about to starve to death. The penny horse failed to reach it, exhausted all its strength and finally died, and failed to bring the fruit to my father. It is said that it looked at the eyes of the nobleman at that time , full of entreaties. The noble lord was deeply moved, so he took out a lot of money, and asked his servants to buy a lot of food and delivered it to my father in person. He confessed that he killed his money horse by riding a horned dragon. I apologize , specially made compensation. At the same time, I also told the details of the money horse along the way. A horse is only a few dollars, and the compensation given by the nobleman is hundreds of times its own value! My father finally did not starve to death, and became But he lost his best partner, lost his best friend. He personally buried the horse in the ground, and then built this hotel in this place, and named it the house of the horse, To commemorate his old partner. I have heard my father mention this story since I was a child, and even asked me to bury him with the money horse before he died of illness..."
"What a touching story!" Olivia burst into tears after hearing it.
Jia Zhengjin didn't quite believe it, feeling that this was just a gimmick for the shop owner to make money. If it is true as he said, the corpses of his father and the horse are walking on the ground floor of this hotel. Isn't this disrespectful to his own father? Even if it is his own father's request, it is a bit inappropriate
It is estimated that it is fabricated, a fake story like a fairy tale. Moreover, Jia Zhengjin didn't think that any brainless nobleman would pay hundreds of times more money than its own value for a penny horse that was dying of old age! Even if you burn a lot of money, you wouldn't do such a stupid thing, would you?
Seeing that Olivia really believed it, she even burst into tears. Jia Zhengjin said in his heart, what a woman! Even a guard like her, with a relatively strong personality, is easily deceived by such a touching story, and she has too much sympathy!
"Boss, the story is very touching!" Jia Zhengjin said indifferently, "Book two rooms for us, we want the best!"
"Unfortunately!" the shop owner shook his head with a smile, "there is only one room in this shop, and all the hotels in the city are probably full! These two days are the days when the Lord of the Temple prays to the holy angels. Tourists gather here, wanting to see the miracle! You two are not husband and wife."
"Don't dare! I'm a follower of Lord Payne!" Olivia hurriedly explained.
"Since you are followers, why do you need two rooms?" The shop owner said with a smile, "If the two of you don't want it, someone will take this room soon!"
