Chapter 201 Drinking blood(1/2)
"Allion, Allion, he's here."
At the counter, Bart turned his head and glanced at Alyn, who was stunned beside him and whispered.
"he?"
Arien barely came back to his senses, his eyes turned empty toward the lobby, and in his sight he saw a handsome man with a cold face slowly walking towards them.
The vague memory in his mind was clear, and he suddenly remembered that the man in front of him was the person he offended last night when he was drunk.
"Sir, please forgive me for my offense when I was drunk last night."
Arien stood up swayingly and lowered his head to apologize to the man walking in front of him, but his attitude was too casual and stiff, making people feel no sense of his sincerity.
"guest--"
Seeing Arien's appearance, Bart was anxious and was about to explain to the man in front of him, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the other party.
"I get it." The man nodded and signaled: "I need to go out and handle some things now. I hope you can introduce me to a guide who is familiar with Karlos."
Bart was slightly stunned after hearing this, and unconsciously glanced at Arien who was sitting back on the chair. After a moment, he carefully said to the other party: "If you don't mind, maybe Arien can help you without any compensation. It's all because he offended you last night!"
"Can."
The man said without any attention.
"Allion, don't be stunned by the silence here. Get up quickly. You must take this guest's orders seriously later!"
Bart walked out of the counter and kicked the other person's chair without any hesitation and said loudly.
"But I haven't eaten yet..."
Arien turned to Bart Road in a daze.
"I won't give you any food before completing the customer's instructions! Do you understand?" Bart said with a deep face.
"I see."
Surprisingly, Arien nodded quite obediently, and he stood up again. He looked at the man in front of him and said, "What do you need to do in Karlos?"
"I need to find a trustworthy currency exchanger. I also need to buy something." The man said calmly.
"Okay, if you want to make a currency exchange, I recommend Mr. Ed to you. The best place to buy goods is Honglingye Street..."
"It's so much nonsense. Now the most important thing you need to do is to go out immediately as the guests told me!"
Bart reached out and patted Alyn on the shoulder with a fierce expression on his face.
"Okay! Please go with me, gentleman."
After Arien numbly agreed, he walked straight out of the door.
"This guest, please forgive me if there will be any rude things like Arien or others."
Before leaving, Bart still did not forget to exonerate Arien to the man in front of him.
After watching the two disappear at the hotel gate, Bart finally relaxed. I hope that this time, Arien will not let down his painstaking efforts.
"Hey, where is Arien?"
At this time, the young attendant of the hotel walked over with the food and water on the tray and said in confusion.
"He has something to do and leave now, so I'll give him these things later."
Bart shook his head and waved at the steaming broth and dough on the attendant's tray.
"By the way, I remember there are some cooked minced meat in the kitchen, so I'll give it to him together."
...
The small town of Kanlos is located in a remote and small population, so it is far from the bustling and bustling of big towns. However, due to the proximity of the Leraso Mountains, many merchants and mercenaries often choose to stay here to rest and rest. The quiet and peaceful town of Kanlos has also added a lively scene to their own.
As a native of the town of Kanlos, Arien is very familiar with everything about Kanlos, and even knows the characteristics and images of many people in the town.
For example, currency exchanger Ed.
Although there are not only Ed in the town's currency exchanger, Ed is the most honest of all currency exchangers. When other currency exchangers exchange currencies with outsiders, they often take advantage of them, but Ed doesn't.
People often say that there is no treason or business, but what Aide believes in is integrity.
Over the years, people familiar with Karlos have known Ed's business style. Once an outsider hires a local guide to find a currency exchanger, the guide's first reaction will be to recommend Ed.
Ed is a middle-aged man in his forties. The most noticeable thing is his beard. He is very strong, so strong that he is not as strong as a businessman at all, but like a mercenary walking on the tip of a knife!
Perhaps only when he warmly entertains guests, he will reveal his unique image as a businessman.
"Arien, it's been a long time since."
Ed was indeed quite surprised when he saw Arien. He had never seen him again since the bad luck came to him.
"Ed, there is a guest here who needs to find you to exchange for Sissinian currency."
Arien nodded, and said indifferently.
"This guest, where is the currency you need to exchange for?"
Since business came, Ed also focused on the man behind Arien.
"Adria currency, all exchanged for Sissinian gold coins!"
The man walked to Ed, reached out and took out a heavy and bloated bag from his arms, and then threw it on the flat table in front of him, making a heavy muffled sound.
"Tsk—"
Slowly untied the string tied to the bag, and after a while, Ed sighed in surprise.
Because the bags are all Adria gold coins, judging by his eyes, there are at least sixty or seventy gold coins here.
It's really a big number.
While counting the gold coins in the cloth bag, Ed couldn't help but think, but he hadn't met such a big business for a long time, and his heart even became a little excited.
Eighty-five.
These are all the gold coins in the bag.
Currency exchange is a patient and tedious process, because currency exchangers also have to verify the authenticity of the currency, value, interests, etc.
When all the procedures were completed, according to the currency exchange rate between the two countries, 3 Sissinian silver coins were about equal to one Adria gold coin, and 8 Sissinian silver coins were about equal to one Sissinian gold coin. In the end, the eighty-five Adria gold coins shrank and became 28 Sissinian silver coins.
This exchange process allows you to imagine how unbearable the value of Adria’s currency is!
"If I still have a lot of Adria gold coins here, can you continue to exchange them?"
After taking the silver coins that Ed put into the bag, Xia Lan frowned slightly.
"certainly."
When Ed heard this, he immediately said happily.
"Then... all of these are exchanged for Sissinian gold coins!"
As he said that, Xia Lan's arms looked like a bottomless pit, and bags of coins were taken out by him and placed on the other party's countertop!
Seeing this scene, Ed widened his eyes and looked at the purse almost piled up on the table incredible ways.
Finally, some of these wallets were still not exchanged completely because Ed had no enough Sisinian currency to continue to be exchanged.
After leaving Ed's shop and heading to Honglingye Street, Xia Lan seemed to be quite interested in rubbing the heavy and thick Sissinian gold coin between her fingers, while Arien, who had been silent and numb, suddenly spoke.
"We are probably in trouble, sir."
"I know." Xia Lan put away the gold coins and said calmly: "I discovered it when I left the hotel. It seemed that their patience was completely exhausted by the temptation of money."
When leaving Mintok Hotel, Xia Lan found that two people in the lobby were observing him intentionally or unintentionally. After he and Arien left, the two people quietly followed behind them. During the process, one of them disappeared. Until they left Ed's shop, there were a few more strange breaths following behind them, and they became closer to them.
As he said that, when he reached an alley, several strange figures suddenly appeared around him, surrounding Xia Lan and Yalien.
"Hey! Boy, hand over all the money you have! Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude."
The person speaking was a magnificent and fierce man. He held a dagger tightly in his hand and pointed it at Xia Lan. It seemed that as long as the other party showed uncooperative stubborn resistance, his dagger would stab at the other party mercilessly.
"Moroz! It's you!"
Arien looked at the other person, and his tone seemed to know each other.
"Who is he?" Xia Lan said calmly.
"The gangster leader of Kanlos often robs passing foreign tourists unscrupulously. Because he has a certain relationship with the city guards, Argenon, he has never been arrested and sanctioned by the city guards!"
Arien stared at Moroz with fierce eyes and gritted his teeth. He would not forget that it was the one who cooperated with Algeron to frame him in prison!
"So it's you guy? Why? Do you want to try the taste of prison life again?"
After hearing the words of the two of them, Moroz immediately shook the dagger in his hand and said sarcastically.
"I see."
Xia Lan nodded.
"Hmph! Stop talking nonsense! Since you know the reputation of the uncle in Kanlos, don't think about struggling and resisting! Otherwise, the dagger in my hand would not have eyes!" Moroz snorted at the other party with a gloomy face: "Do you hand over the money with your own hands or let me search it out of your body and choose it yourself!"
"I think you must have overlooked one thing."
Xia Lan looked at him calmly and said.
