Above the mage!
Chapter 68 Run away with the money
Chapter 68 Run away with the money
The purse is made of dark brown leather with a finely polished surface and the edges are reinforced with fine linen cord.
The closure is tied with strong rope holes.
The knot is complex and ingenious. This design makes it easy to open quickly but not easy to be untied by outsiders, thus ensuring the safety of the gold coins inside.
The purse alone is probably worth several silver coins.
Gao De quickly picked up the purse and unsealed it, revealing a layer of soft wool fabric lining the inside of the purse.
This design is intended to reduce the noise made by gold coins colliding with each other, while also protecting the coins from scratches or corrosion.
Hundreds of Sean gold coins lay quietly in the purse, shining with golden light, making Gode’s eyes shine.
The heavy weight makes people feel more reassured.
“300 Sean gold coins, count them, but don’t say later that it’s not enough. I won’t admit it.” Oliver said calmly.
Gao De smiled awkwardly: “How can I not trust you?”
Gao De poured out the gold coins from his purse, counted them carefully twice, and then put them back into the purse.
After putting the purse into his pocket, Godd took out the secret box he had prepared long ago and handed it to Oliver: “What you want.”
Oliver’s eyes lit up slightly, he took the secret box, then pressed hard with his right hand, trying to open the box – just like Goder did in the beginning, he knew it couldn’t be opened, but he just wanted to try.
After confirming that the secret box could not be opened, Oliver gave up and shook the box gently.
A rustling sound came from the secret box, 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 was able to confirm that there was a lot of paper in the secret box.
Obviously it’s not just land deeds and house deeds.
And what kind of papers could a potion master hide in his secret magic box besides the title deed to the medicine garden?
With the signing of the transfer contract and the employment contract, the “watchers” who had been wandering outside the Seda Medicinal Garden finally disappeared.
What follows is a series of transfer procedures.
Of course, the most important thing for Oliver is to open the secret box and take out the land deeds and house deeds inside.
All in all, this will take a few days.
However, this did not affect the apprentices in the medicine garden from continuing to work, and they even worked harder.
After all, I just got a new club, so I have to show my abilities to the new club.
Of course, they continued to respect Gao De, even though he was no longer the master of the medicine garden.
But everyone also knows that Gode has been hired as a potion master by Phil’s Potion Shop, and this status is obviously higher than theirs.
Whether emotionally or logically, their attitude towards Gao De will not change in the slightest.
Flowery month, 25th.
Phil’s Potion Shop, second floor.
Oliver, dressed in a dark silk robe and holding a scroll, walked back to the room in a hurry with shining eyes.
After closing the door, he bent down and took out an exquisitely carved wooden box from the cabinet under the table.
With a potion shop as big as Phil’s, there is no reason why Oliver doesn’t know the knowledge that Pierre knows.
So on the first day after he learned about the existence of the secret box from Gode, he sent people to Bremen to buy the scroll of the knocking spell.
Now, seven days have passed and the spell scroll of knocking magic has finally been obtained.
Placing the secret box on the table, Oliver rubbed his hands excitedly, then opened the spell scroll.
After a burst of magical fluctuations, 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 pushed, was opened.
What he saw was a box full of papers, just as he expected.
“Hmm?” Oliver frowned before he was completely happy. He took out the top piece of paper.
“Name: Seda Medicinal Garden
Number of people: 8
Fixed assets: one medicinal garden and four medicinal fields (producing snake tooth grass, wormwood, alpine ironwood root, and sun fruit)
Holding cash: 8 copper
Fixed expenses: 4-5 silver/day (living expenses)
Income: 15-20 silver/day (fixed output of primary spider poison potion), unpredictable irregular income is not included for the time being
Variable expenses: herb seedlings, fertilizers, and materials needed for the configuration of “nutritional soil”
Oliver’s expression froze as he glanced at the contents on the paper. “What is this?”
He still couldn’t believe it, and put the page aside with a dull look in his eyes, and took out the second page from the secret box. Then the third, the fourth
Finally, Oliver stopped taking out the papers one by one and just threw the box hard. All the papers inside immediately scattered out and flew around the room.
What about the house deed, the land deed, and the incomplete first-level magic potion formula he expected.
No, nothing at all, just a pile of waste paper!
“God! God!”
The room was filled with the sound of Oliver’s gnashing teeth and extreme anger.
At this moment, Amy, like Oliver, was staring at a note in a daze.
After he finished his meal and returned to his room, he found a note and five Sean gold coins shining with faint golden light on the table.
The note was left by Gao De.
The content was very simple. It just told him that it was not advisable to stay in Hogan City for a long time and left him some travel expenses. If he believed him, he should find a way to leave as soon as possible.
Amy was stunned for a while, then suddenly reacted.
He snatched up the note, ran out of the house and rushed to Gode’s room.
The door was not locked and opened easily.
But when I opened the door, I saw that Gaode was no longer in the room.
Amy closed the door again, rushed out of the medicine garden, and looked around at the entrance of the medicine garden.
Everywhere you look, you’ll see either vast expanses of open space or lush green forests.
Away from this small medicine garden, the world is so big, who knows which direction Gao De, who has no relatives or friends, will go?
Amy stood there in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
After staying there motionless for a long time, he seemed to finally come to his senses.
After sighing softly, Amy whispered to herself into the air: “I hope you take care of yourself!”
Then he turned and walked back to the medicine garden, and his lonely figure soon disappeared into the shadows.
A small caravan of a dozen carriages was leaving the city.
Since the Nottingham coal mine was exhausted, Hogan City has had to purchase all the coal it needs from other places.
As a result, many small caravans emerged that specialized in purchasing coal and transporting it to Hogan City for resale.
This caravan is engaged in this business.
Gode was sitting in one of the slightly empty carriages.
The carriage was originally used to load coal, but the coal had already been unloaded in Hogan City. Now it was a return trip, so naturally it was empty.
So, after some bargaining, Gao De only paid 15 silver coins to get the caravan leader to agree to give him a ride.
The horse-drawn carriage used to transport goods was not clean, but was covered with coal dust. It was also bumpy and uncomfortable to ride on.
However, because it was a cargo truck, the two horses pulling the truck were of prime age and ran very agilely.
The caravan has a small number of people, and they are all simple people who earn their money through hard work.
The driver of his carriage was a taciturn, dark-skinned, middle-aged man. Apart from a few words to Gao De when he got on the carriage, he hardly spoke again.
This made Gaode very satisfied.
Sitting in the carriage, the breeze blows on your face.
“This is the caravan I found temporarily. Before today, even I didn’t know which caravan I would follow.”
“So no matter how capable Oliver is, he will definitely not be able to find out how I left.”
Gao De touched the purse that he had carefully placed on his chest, and listened to the creaking sound of the wooden wheels rolling over the ground, feeling particularly relaxed.
In this world, it is very dangerous outside the city.
Even official roads built and maintained by the government are not necessarily safe. Ferocious wild beasts and even underground creatures often roam around.
Therefore, in this world, most civilians generally do not easily leave the city.
Even if they do, they mostly travel in groups.
Although Gao De is a wizard’s apprentice, it does not mean that he is not afraid of the dangers in the wild.
More importantly, Gaode was not familiar with the road.
Even though his name is Gao De, it doesn’t mean he won’t get lost.
Therefore, leaving the city with a caravan that is very familiar with the official roads around Hogan City, has a large number of people and can take care of each other is definitely the best choice at the moment.
As the convoy went further and further away, looking at the shadow of Hogan City gradually disappearing on the horizon, Gao De said silently in his heart:
Goodbye, Hogan City!
