Papa Paladin

  Chapter 2 Homecoming

  Regarding Zuo Yi's question, the etiquette lady was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "You wait a moment, I'll ask the store manager to come over."

  Gold is a real hard currency. Most gold and silver jewelry stores in China have a recycling business, but usually only small shops will display recycling signs, so ordinary people often choose to sell them in those places.

  But in fact, big stores like Jinyufu Jewelry also provide the same service.

  Another hostess led Zuo Yi to sit down in front of the gold jewelry counter, and then brought him a cup of tea.

  Zuo Yi's special dress caught the attention of other customers in the jewelry store. Several people pointed and sniggered at him, but he didn't care at all, and took a sip of tea from a paper cup.

   Very ordinary green tea, but it is a taste he has not tasted for many years, and it is full of nostalgia.

   "Hi sir..."

  At this moment, a well-dressed middle-aged man appeared at the counter and asked politely, "Are you going to sell gold?"

  Zuo Yi nodded and put down the paper cup in his hand, a gold coin was pulled out from between his fingers in an instant, and fell silently on the table.

   It's like magic.

  The middle-aged man opposite, who was obviously the store manager, was a little confused. He glanced at Zuo Yi in surprise, and then looked down at the gold coin.

  This round gold coin is small in size, with dense patterns engraved on the surface, and it glows charmingly under the illumination of the indoor lights. It is brand new as if it has just been forged, and it has a kind of exciting magic.

  In contrast, all the gold ornaments placed in the glass counter are all pale!

The middle-aged man stared at the gold coin for half a minute, until Zuo Yi tapped it with his fingers, he suddenly woke up, and said quickly: "Sir, I need to identify the composition of it, do you think it can be done? "

  Zuo Yi nodded: "Okay."

  The middle-aged man picked up the gold coin and checked its composition with an instrument on the table behind.

The detection process is very fast, and the result is available in just a few minutes, but the middle-aged man who took the gold coin back has a strange expression: "There is no problem with the quality. It is four nines of ten thousand pure gold, weighing 27.55 grams. At present, we The recycling price is 263 yuan per gram, do you think it is okay?"

  Zuo Yi smiled and said: "Yes."

  The store manager's attitude is impeccable, but he obviously didn't tell the truth completely.

   It's not that there is any problem with the weight of the gold coin, but that the gold coin that Zuo Yi took out should be 100% pure gold!

  Because this is a rule gold coin.

  Law gold coins can only be made by high-level wizards. They belong to the creation of laws and contain the power of laws covering all planes of the multiverse. In any world, their value is constant, indestructible and never worn out, without any blemishes and impurities.

  The wizards and knights in the Sadya world often conquer the planes, and in different planes, only the creation of laws can guarantee that they will not be affected by the rules of the other world.

  Law creations include law equipment, law utensils, law potions, law runestones, and law gold coins, etc.

Zuo Yi had just traveled to the world of Sadya, and the items he carried were quickly eroded and corrupted by the power of the world's rules, and they were all annihilated and disappeared in just a few days. Fortunately, he got help from others at that time, otherwise he would not even have to wear clothes .

  Law Creation has no such problems at all, so it is a necessary strategic item for fighting the plane.

  The store manager used professional equipment to test the legal gold coins, and the result must be 100% pure gold, but such a result undoubtedly exceeded his common sense, which is why he looked so awkward.

   It is estimated that it has been tested several times, otherwise the identification results should come out faster.

  Zuo Yi doesn't care what the other party thinks, he just needs a sum of money for emergency.

  The total recovery price of 27.55 grams of gold is 7,245 yuan, and the middle-aged man directly gave 7,300 yuan. After completing the transaction, he couldn't wait to ask: "Sir, do you still have such gold coins?"

  Zuo Yi stuffed the money into his pocket and said, "Goodbye."

  He didn't answer the other party's question at all, turned around and walked away.

  The middle-aged man had no reason to stop him, he could only watch Zuo Yi leave.

   After thinking about it, he reluctantly put the gold coin back into the instrument for retesting, and compared it with the gold in his own store, and finally fell into deep self-doubt.

   After a while, he picked up the phone and dialed out: "Young Master Yuan, I received a very interesting item, do you want to see it?"

   At this moment, Zuo Yi didn't know what happened after he left. He came to a shopping mall opposite the jewelry store, and it took him nearly an hour to come out.

When he came out of the shopping mall, Zuo Yi was completely new. His eye-catching leather boots were replaced with a brand new T-shirt, jeans and sneakers. A pair of sunglasses was hanging on his collar. A new smartphone.

   Spent most of the money he got from selling the law gold coins, Zuo Yi completed the return of the paladins from other worlds to ordinary modern people, and reintegrated into this world.

  He put on sunglasses, walked to the side of the road with ease, and reached out to stop a passing taxi.

   "Master, I'm going to Linjiang Town."

  The taxi took Zuo Yi out of the bustling urban area, through the river bottom tunnel to the opposite bank, and after about half an hour's journey, he arrived at Linjiang Town, which is located by the river.

  ...

  Linjiang is an ancient town with a long history, facing the downtown area of ​​Hangzhou across the river.

  The town was originally surrounded by plain fields, but with the continuous expansion of Hangzhou in recent years, the land on the other side of the Qianjiang River has also been developed a lot, and modern high-rise buildings have sprung up.

   Also squeezed Linjiang Town into a corner.

  Zuo Yi did not let the taxi drive to his door, but stopped at the entrance of the town, paid for the car and walked there.

   I haven’t seen you for three years. Linjiang Town is the same as before. This ancient town has always had a different rhythm of life from Hangzhou.

The people living here live a normal and leisurely life. The ancient street paved with bluestone slabs is long, and the shops on the street do not have any business in the afternoon, so the neighbors visit each other to chat, or play cards and play mahjong together, which arouses the curiosity of passing tourists. wait and see.

  Children ran across the street playfully, laughing like silver bells from time to time, adding a bit of vitality to the ancient town.

   Zuo Yi is very familiar with this kind of scene, and I don't know how many times it reappeared in his dreams.

  Switching past the oncoming child, he strolled down the long street like an ordinary tourist, and finally came to a house at the west end of the town.

   This is the home where Zuo Yi has lived for twenty years!

  Standing in front of the door, staring at the mottled marks left by those years on the surface of the door, Zuo Yi's heart was surging.

He came home!

  However, the gate of the house is closed, and no one welcomes Zuo Yi's return, only the morning glory climbing on the courtyard wall blooms lonely.

  With a soft sigh in his heart, he jumped up suddenly, passed the high gate wall soundlessly, and landed quietly in the courtyard.

  Zuo Yi's home is a small western-style villa in the style of the former dynasty.

In front of the three-storey villa is a yard of nearly 100 square meters. The yard is surrounded by walls on three sides. A large camphor tree with luxuriant branches and leaves stands on the left corner. The house looked quiet.

  Because it hasn't been cleaned for a long time, the ground is covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves and mud, and there is a faint smell of corruption.

  Because there was no key, Zuo Yi couldn't open the door directly, but this didn't bother him.

  He put the index finger and **** of his right hand on the door lock. A faint light flashed through the fingertips, which penetrated into the keyhole in an instant, and he heard a "click", and the door lock automatically opened.

  Although it is a different world, the "lockpicking technique" he learned during his wanderings in Sadya is still very useful.

  Zuo Yi stretched out his hand and pushed open the door, and the turbid air inside rushed out immediately, making him frown.

  I saw that the hall on the first floor was covered with dust, and the corners of the walls were densely covered with cobwebs. The cloth covers covering the sofa and furniture had turned dark gray, giving off a lifeless smell.

Zuo Yi walked slowly to the front of the closet in the living room. He took out a photo frame placed in the wooden shelf, blew off the floating dust on the surface of the frame, wiped it clean with his hands, and put it back again. .

   "Mom, I'm back."

   Zuo Yi said to the photo frame, his eyes were already wet with tears before he knew it.

  In the photo frame, a beautiful and gentle woman is still smiling, as if telling him...

  Welcome home, my boy.
