The Death Knight of the Secret World

Chapter 16
Because of Alex's [inadvertent] reminder, Alan borrowed the luxury carriage to pack it again.

After all, if a dude from a small aristocratic family like them buys a luxury carriage, it is indeed worth taking it out to pretend.

It's not that they can't afford a horse-drawn carriage. They can buy a carriage with hundreds or even thousands of pounds, but that requires a lot of capital turnover.

For example, Alan Beckman, as the youngest son in the family, is overwhelmed by older brothers and sisters. Even if his family has money, it is impossible for him to use it for bad fun.

Counting his own small coffers and his weekly salary of up to 4 gold pounds, this kid can live a very happy life, but this is only if he does not buy a carriage.

A four-wheeled carriage with a carriage costs at least 300 gold pounds, and it's not necessarily luxurious.If Allen was allowed to buy it by himself, he would have to ask the bank for a loan or something.

But this time, the black carriage he got was the carriage used by the Earl, who is the nephew of the royal family.Although the earl would definitely not just have a carriage, but an ordinary carriage is not worthy of the honorable status of the earl.

Therefore, the normal market price of this carriage, which may be produced by the royal family, should be between 1000 and 1200 gold pounds.If it is sold through formal channels, there will be a premium of 15.00% to 1400, which is about [-] gold pounds.

This is not a small expense for a small noble family of Beckman's size.After all, like Audrey, Miss Justice of the Tarot Society, who can spend tens of thousands of gold pounds a year for fun, there are only two or three of them in a city like Backlund with a population of nearly one million. .

Generally, the funds that can be used by small noble families are about 1000 gold pounds.Exceeding this amount doesn't mean they can't get it out, it's definitely a pain in the ass to get out such a sum of money, and it's impossible without the approval of those in power at home.

For example, the Foolish Old Fairy turned into a foreign wealthy businessman and came to Backlund with tens of thousands of gold pounds in his hand to pretend to be a force. That is also an easy way to get a ticket for the upper class of Backlund.

If you insist on defining the purchasing power of the gold pound, it is roughly equivalent to the RMB 500 to 800 before Wu Bin came here.

Allen, the second generation ancestor, can pull out such a luxury car worth more than 1000 gold pounds, which is equivalent to getting a top with a manure fork or a bully going out to pretend to be aggressive.

Therefore, he does have the capital to pretend.

Moreover, Alan Beckman paid for tonight's consumption.

A few 20-year-old beggars who are not high enough to be low-scoring, the best one is Alex.He went to the navy after graduation and is now a lieutenant, which is definitely young and promising for his age.

But a few other rubbish, that is, the level of qualifications in some small departments.Even playboys, their lives are full of differences.

However, with the fairly strong relationship of classmates and alumni, and they are all young people, after chatting with each other, they will not become unfamiliar because of their status.

Different from the ordinary middle class, these playboys have all received professional social training for aristocrats.This kind of gaudy things is usually spent by aristocratic families with spare money and spare time. Merchant families may also focus on this aspect, but they are also divided into grades.

For example, before Beomi’s original family went bankrupt, the Corleones, as owners of a small factory, had basic social etiquette courses in the education of their offspring.

A few playboys chatted for a long time, and when the kitchen started to serve the dishes, they ended the chat and started eating, drinking and having fun.However, because of the special existence of Alex Lanshere today, Allen did not call a call girl, which is a little less interesting.

However, the host was very thoughtful and let his daughter take the opportunity of delivering the main course to come out and interact with a few dudes.If it weren't for this young lady who is almost 30 years old and her appearance can only be regarded as average, she might really be able to hook up with someone like that.

It's a pity that no one asked her to stay and talk with her in the end, but everyone was full of praise for the roast lamb served by this young lady.

Because Beomy speaks nicely and knows how to measure, she helps a few dandies share food and drink from time to time, and calls the housekeeper for various services from time to time, so Beomy was also divided into a piece of lamb chops.

Not to mention, this little nobleman, who is so downcast that he needs to rent out his own property to entertain guests, is really good at roasting mutton.Not only is the skin crispy and the meat is rotten, but the meat is also roasted to a crisp, juicy, and delicious!

Beomi suspects that he should have used a hanging stove or a large oven to make it, or it was wrapped in tin foil, otherwise the effect would not be achieved.The most important thing is that the owner also extravagantly used cumin, an expensive and scary spice, to fully stimulate the deliciousness of the lamb, which can definitely be called finger-licking fragrance.

The dessert fruit after the meal is also quite distinctive. Beomi even ate a dessert similar to canned fruit pulp, and it was chilled with ice cubes.

After eating and drinking, the four dandies were drunk and started playing billiards. After a few rounds, they found it boring, so they switched to playing poker.

At this time, the housekeeper found Beomy and said that his house also has a special bath, the one with massage, and hoped that Beomy and a few dudes would recommend it, so he gave Beomy two gold pounds.

Beomi felt that Mr. Housekeeper probably wanted to recommend the technicians in the nearby red-light district to come and make some quick money, so she went over and asked Alex, who was still sober, to say that this one has a special bath, do you want to go? experience it.

Alex hesitated for a moment, then refused, but Morty, who started pinching Alan again after drinking too much, seemed very interested, and asked a few more questions.And Eric, this guy, because he can't drink well, has already started to get confused.

In the end, Mr. Steward did not earn the agency fee, but instead took two gold pounds to Beomi.

Beomi felt that she couldn't take other people's money for nothing, so she told the housekeeper at the end that she could arrange for a young lady to wait near Mr. Morty's carriage, and she would wear hot and revealing clothes. It depends on God's will.

So, Mr. Butler understood.

At about eleven o'clock, when several people came out of the gate crookedly, Beomi gave Mr. Butler a wink, saying that Mr. Morty needed to find a bathroom conveniently, and asked Mr. Butler to take him there.

Sure enough, after Allen, Alex, and Eric parted at the door and got into their own carriages, Mr. Butler arrived late with Morty who had made a detour.Morty was followed by a young lady in a hot backless dress, and got into the carriage with him.

The other three all have their own dedicated drivers. Even if they don't have a driver, Backlund also has a coachman on the night shift. It doesn't cost much to rent a car if you say hello in advance.Even the dandies of small noble families can still afford it.

But Beomie was struggling, and he had to drive this guy Allen home.

After sending Ellen off, Beomi had to walk back by herself.

Fortunately, Alan's home was two kilometers away from the slum area where Beomi lived, and it didn't take long to walk back.

And if you go back, you still have to go through the squirrel's territory, Beomi is familiar with the road.He even ran into a squirrel gang pickpocket he knew well before, a sneaky guy who just came out of a small alley.

"Yo, Tommy, you still come out to work so late!" Beomi said hello to the acquaintance cheaply.

However, the acquaintance didn't even look back, and continued to walk slowly along the wall, ignoring Beomy at all.

Beomi didn't take it seriously either. After all, it's late at night, and if you meet a professional thief who seems to have just finished work, you still greet him, isn't it a debt?

That is to say, the other party recognized him when we first met, otherwise he would have to give this guy a scoop on his forehead or something.

In fact, Beomi was quite well-known in the Squirrel Gang, and she was considered one of Old Squirrel's most promising students....Moreover, he was quick-witted, and got along well with several underground gangs nearby, and he would charge a few extra copper pennies when selling stolen goods for Squirrel.

So, even if Beomie got out of the squirrel gang later, these [little squirrels] still gave him face.Occasionally, the little squirrel would find Beomy to make a match, sell a stolen item or buy a piece of news.

Normally, when Beomi met this kind of squirrel who had just finished work, she would have to go over and have a good chat.Not to mention half of the meeting, at least you have to share in the meeting, so give me some benefits.

However, the pickpocket gangsters in the neighborhood know that this guy, Beomi, can't think of becoming a body-bearer.

Therefore, Beomi found that his life was much less fun... Many punks stopped playing with him.

At the very least, relying on his previous relationship as a minion under the hands of Old Squirrel, he can also bully the small pickpockets nearby and blackmail some filial piety with the help of the old senior Squirrel.

Of course, there are also some stubborn people who don't give the old squirrel face. The one who gave Beomi a brick in the back of the head before caused Wu Bin to cross is such a ruthless person.

As for the ruthless man who had no choice but to give in to Beomi later, it wasn't because the kid was lucky that he got into a police station that has natural restraint on these gangsters... an external plug-back Is it in the organization of corpse workers?

A man can bend and stretch, can bowing his head to Beomi be called bowing his head?That was entirely out of respect for the people's servants of Backlund!
After all, these gang of black-skinned policemen are really ruthless, not ruthless, can you suppress those scumbags in the underground world?
