Chapter 68: Running away
The money bag is made of dark brown leather, the surface has been carefully polished, and the edges are reinforced with fine 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.
Gaode 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 were lying quietly in the money bag, and the golden light made Gothe's eyes shine.
The heavy weight is even more reassuring.
"Three hundred Sean gold coins, you have already counted them, but don't say afterwards that they are not enough. I will not admit it." Oliver said calmly.
<
Gaode poured out the gold coins in the purse and counted them carefully twice before putting the gold coins back into the purse again.
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, he took the secret box, then clasped it hard with his right hand, trying to open the box - just like Gothe, he knew it couldn't be opened, 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 gently.
The sound of rustling (xi) rustling (xu) 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 is 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 deed and house deed.
In short, it will take a few days.
However, this does not affect the apprentices in the medicine garden to continue working, and even work harder.
After all, we have just changed to a new owner, and we must show our performance to the new owner.
Of course, they continued to respect Gao De, 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.
Flower Flame Moon, 25th.
Phil's Potion Store, second floor.
Oliver was wearing a dark silk robe, holding a scroll, and walked back to the room with hurried steps and shining eyes.
After closing the door, he bent down and took out the beautifully carved wooden box from the cabinet under the table.
Having a potion shop as big as Phil's Potion Shop in hand, there is no reason why Oliver should not 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.
Seven days have passed, and the tapping spell scroll has finally been obtained.
Placing the secret box on the table, Oliver rubbed his hands excitedly, and then opened the spell scroll.
After a burst of magic fluctuation, the scroll turned into ashes and disappeared.
The 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 was completely raised, he lowered his brows. Oliver frowned and took out the top piece of paper:
Name: Seda Medicine Garden
Number of people: 8
Fixed assets: one medicinal garden and four medicinal fields (producing snakegrass, sagebrush, alpine ironwood root, and sunflower fruit respectively)
Cash held: 8 copper
Fixed expenditure: 4-5 silver/day (living expenses)< br/>
Income: 15-20 silver/day (fixed output of primary spider poison potion), the unpredictable and irregular income is not included for the time being
Unfixed expenses: herbal seedlings, fertilizers, materials required for "nutritional soil" configuration"
He glanced across the contents of the paper, and Oliver's expression froze, "What is this?"
He was still a little in disbelief. He put the page aside with dull eyes and took out the second page from the secret box.
Then the third, then the fourth
In the end, 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.
None, none at all, just a pile of waste paper!
"Gothe! Gothe!"
The sound of Oliver's gnashing teeth and being extremely angry echoed in the room.
At this moment, Amy, like Oliver, was looking at a note in a daze.
After he finished his meal and returned to his room, he found this note and 5 gold coins of Sean with a faint golden light 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 fee. 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 opened the door and took 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.
Wherever you look, you can see the scenery in all directions, either vast emptiness or lush green mountains and forests.
Leaving this small medicine garden, the world is so big, who can know which direction Gao De, who has no relatives or friends, will go?
Aimee stood there in despair, not knowing what she was thinking.
After staying motionless in the same place 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.
Gothe 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 ride.
This carriage used to transport goods is not clean, full of soot left by coal, and the ride is quite bumpy and uncomfortable.
But because it was a freight truck, the two horses pulling it were both in their prime and ran very vigorously.
The caravan as a whole is not large in number, they are all simple people who earn 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 hardly spoke any more.
This makes Gothe very satisfied.
Sitting in the carriage, the breeze blows on my face.
h "This is the caravan I found temporarily. Before today, even I didn't know which caravan I would leave with."
h "So even if Oliver has the means, he will definitely not be able to find out how I left."
Gaode touched the money bag that he carefully placed on his chest and listened to the constant creaking sound of the wooden wheels running over the ground, feeling particularly comfortable.
This world is very dangerous outside the city.
Even the official roads built and maintained by the government are not necessarily safe, and ferocious beasts and even earth-line creatures often appear randomly.
So 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 Gao De, 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 went further and further, looking at the shadow of Hogan City gradually disappearing on the horizon, Gothe said silently in his heart:
Goodbye, Hogan City!
