After folding the letter and putting it away, the four of them looked at the next item.

L, or the information dealer Sumali, held the square metal nameplate and found that there was a little energy on its surface.

Safia, who practiced mysticism, also saw the clues, poked it lightly with her index finger, and whispered:

"It is an enchantment spell with anti-counterfeiting authentication function. The level is not high, and the strength is about LV5."

"There is also a person's name engraved on it."

Qin Nuo pointed to the mark engraved on the back of the nameplate and read it word by word:

"Byron Curtis, a very ordinary name, should be the role played by L in this mission."

"Byron Curtis..."

Sumali secretly memorized the name.

The identity information is clear, but there is still a question.

What are the identities of the three foreign players invited to enter?

Apprentice, assistant, follower or handyman?

Qin Nuo, Roman and Safia looked at each other and quickly assigned their respective roles.

"I'm a detective player, so I'm the assistant of Detective Curtis. Our relationship is similar to that of Holmes and Watson.

We share life and death, hardships, and never leave each other. We are close and intimate."

Qin Nuo said first.

Hey, you really know how to flatter yourself.

The other two players complained in their hearts.

Su Mali's face froze, not knowing what to say.

After a moment of silence, Safia continued: "Then I am also an assistant. No one stipulates that the detective's assistant must be male."

Well, two assistants, right?

"Then I also..."

Roman was about to speak, but Qin Nuo interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "It is obviously illogical for a detective to bring two assistants, which is easy to arouse suspicion.

Miss Safia, you play the role of a personal maid.

Specially responsible for the daily life of Detective Curtis and serving tea and water.

As for Brother Roman...you have to be a handyman and a bodyguard.

You are the best person to take the blame and beat up the client.

With such a strong physique, you are full of shock when you stand still."

Who is the employer and who is the employee?

You are stepping into other people's business, do you know that?

Roman and Safia both showed a painful expression.

When they wanted to raise an objection,

Dongdongdong——

The knocking sound came from outside the carriage.

Then the small window at the front was opened, and the driver with a beard leaned over and reminded: "Guest, the lakeside town is coming soon."

What a coincidence.

It was indeed the identity recognition link reserved by the system.

The four players tacitly said nothing more and sat quietly waiting.

As the carriage's bumps gradually weakened until it stopped completely, the destination was reached.

Open the door and get off.

The cold air hit me.

With the help of the moonlight, a large village appeared in sight.

It was a long time ago, and it had a sense of medieval European town.

The players were not too shocked by this.

They were all old birds who had experienced many storms and waves, and it was nothing strange to travel through time.

"Let's go, let's go to the target location first."

Su Mali called everyone to set off.

As a result, before he took two steps, his sleeve was pulled by someone.

"Guests, you haven't paid yet."

The bearded coachman urged nervously.

It seemed that he felt uneasy to stay still, and his eyes were glancing left and right when he spoke.

Do you still need to pay?

The players looked at each other in bewilderment. This was the first time they had encountered such a thing.

"How much?"

Su Mali didn't want to waste time, so she asked directly.

"4 pence per kilometer, a total of 15 kilometers from the city to the lakeside town, which is 60 pence.

In addition, you have to pay me for the return empty car fee and the additional night car surcharge, a total of 15 shillings."

The driver quickly reported the number, obviously he had already calculated it during the drive.

Su Mali touched the 10 shillings in her pocket, and a hint of difficulty flashed in her eyes.

There was a difference of 5 shillings, the system must have done it on purpose.

Fortunately, the others had it in their pockets, otherwise they would have been embarrassed.

Just as Roman was about to pay 5 shillings to make up the fare, Qin Nuo took a step forward.

At a height of more than 1.8 meters, he was half a head taller than the driver, and his strong arms directly hugged the other's shoulders:

"Brother, did you calculate it wrong? Do you want to calculate it again?"

The three teammates were stunned and didn't understand his actions.

"I have calculated it twenty times.

4 pence per kilometer, 15 kilometers is 60 pence.

60 pence for an empty car on the return trip, 30 pence for a night trip, a total of 150 pence.

That's right."

The driver counted on his fingers and replied.

One shilling is equal to ten pence, the exchange rate in this world is not the same as in reality.

Qin Nuo silently memorized it.

In the 19th century, 1 penny was equivalent to half a pound in modern times, which is about 4 yuan.

According to the exchange rate, one shilling is equal to ten pence.About 16 yuan per kilometer, 15 shillings is 600 yuan.

The starting price of a taxi in the imperial capital is only 13 yuan, less than 3 yuan per kilometer.

In comparison, the price is really high.

Qin Nuo, who never wants to suffer a loss, slightly increased his arm strength: "Brother, we are all acquaintances, can you give us a discount?

I will take your car again if I meet you in the future."

11 points of strength attribute is enough to kill a cow with one punch.

The bearded driver struggled twice, feeling that his shoulders were clamped by iron clamps.

Enduring the faint pain from his bones, he hesitated and asked: "You, how much discount do you want?"

"Round off a fraction, how about 10% off?"

What, 10% off?

The driver's breath was choked, thinking how could you say that.

"I, I know who you are.

I'll charge you 10 shillings at the minimum. If it's less, I'll lose money on this trip."

Qin Nuo frowned: "Too high, 2 shillings, I'll give you 1 shilling more."

"Don't go too far! 2 shillings is not enough for me to buy feed and share money."

"3 shillings, I can't accept more."

"3 shillings, my wife and children will go hungry tomorrow."

Qin Nuo pretended to be angry, and his red-faced Guan Gong mask was almost touching the other's nose: "6 shillings, I'll give you the cost price, and I won't give you 1 penny more."

Roman couldn't stand it anymore.

He took out eight coins from his pocket, put them together with Su Mali, and stuffed 15 shillings into the driver's arms:

"Okay, okay, don't make things difficult for him, let him go."

Qin Nuo glanced at his teammate with a look of disappointment, and reluctantly let go of his arm.

He muttered something like "You don't know how to save the benefits you gave me, let's see what you can do later."

Roman was puzzled.

Safia next to him raised her eyebrows, probably guessing the meaning of the words.

A meaningful expression flashed across his face.

The hand in his pocket subconsciously clenched his eight shillings.

The driver.

After receiving the money, he hurriedly checked the kerosene lamp, then threw the reins and galloped in the direction he came from.

He didn't want to stay for a moment.

Looking at the gradually receding back, Qin Nuo shook his head, feeling very sorry.

Seeing this, Su Mali, who was already confused, asked bluntly: "You have been acting strange since you got off the car, what's going on?"

"You feel sorry for the money."

Qin Nuo Xiaoxiong spread his hands: "It's better to keep fifteen shillings for yourself than to give it to a dying person."
