Ark's Journey to the Demon God
Page 41
"Since your identity is in doubt, we need to check your luggage to make sure there are no dangerous goods. Is that okay?" said the young guard member.
The captain on the side glanced at the young team member, and he knew that he, a junior, was greedy - during the process of checking the luggage, he saw valuable small things and took them away. This was also the income of the Londinium Guard. One of the methods is that if the property is too large and excessive, it can be seized on the pretext of dangerous goods. He is familiar with this kind of thing.
Shen Muke looked at the two of them, then picked up the suitcase and handed it to the captain.
The other party took it, opened it, and took a quick glance——
His hand suddenly trembled, his eyes pupils dilated instantly, and then he closed the box again extremely quickly, the whole process took less than two seconds.
"Your identity has been confirmed. Welcome to Londinium, distinguished Mr. Agaritu."
The captain pulled his team members and bowed to Shen Muke.
Shen Muke took the box with a smile, then hummed a song and stepped into the city gate.
"Captain? What did you see when you opened the box just now?" His captain's reaction to opening the box completely changed, which made him a little confused.
The captain looked at him deeply, and then whispered: "Next time, keep your eyes open! See clearly who you can mess with and who you can't mess with!"
"What did you see?"
"Wealth." The captain's voice gradually declined: "Enough wealth to buy a villa in Oaktree District."
The team members were shocked. Oaktree District, isn't that the Central City District?
The captain looked at Shen Muke's back from a distance - he was alone, without soldiers or guards, and with so much wealth, he dared to travel across the wilderness and across the country alone.
This kind of person is either extremely lucky or extremely powerful.
No matter which one, they are not someone that small characters like them can provoke.
As the security team watched, Shen Muke stepped into Londinium's building.
A new journey begins.
Chapter 2 The first night
Shen Muke was not unaware of the little thoughts of the security team members, otherwise he would not have deliberately taken out one of the dozens of suitcases containing belongings and showed them to them.
This is just a small prank. I guess those two people won't do random tricks in the future, right?
Putting the matter of these two people behind him, Shen Muke started looking for someone to ask for directions.
He had no choice but to live in an era of limited information and without a navigation system. He could only find someone to ask for directions in order to determine his location and destination.
"You should get a map of Londinium and rent a car, so it's not a problem to rely on your legs and ask for directions."
Thinking like this, Shen Muke finally found his first goal when he arrived in Londinium - the Royal Bank of Victoria Londinium Head Office.
Of course, he came to the bank to handle business. Shen Muke walked into the lobby, and a well-dressed salesman came over and greeted: "Hello, sir, is there anything I can help you with?"
The other party's accent was very pure, and he looked like he was a native of Londinium. It was completely different from Shen Muke's own Dayan-flavored Victorian dialect.
Shen Muke looked at the sign hanging on the marble pillar in the hall that covered the bank's business scope, and replied: "Exchange of property."
Exchange of property.
This is a business with a very contemporary background, somewhat similar to the pawnshop business in reality.
This kind of business was originally established by Victoria to facilitate businessmen from other countries to do business in the country. You can use hard currency such as precious metals, real estate, special goods as collateral, and exchange it for equivalent value from the bank in your country. Cash is convenient for doing business. When the specified date arrives, the mortgagor will redeem the mortgage with interest, and the bank will earn some interest from it.
Of course, you don’t have to redeem it, so that your collateral will be owned by the bank when the time comes.
The salesman nodded. He glanced at Shen Muke's clothes calmly, and then felt an unexpected burst of ecstasy——
The exchange of property is usually only done by foreign businessmen. The other party is not dressed in the Victorian style and is obviously not from the country, so it must be a foreign businessman. From the outside, Shen Muke is busy with work and does not seem to be well-off, but the salesman is still respectful. He was invited to a separate room to discuss in detail.
Because he saw the cane in Shen Muke's hand.
As a creation of the year, this cane attracted this experienced and well-informed salesman as soon as he saw it.
Looking at the material, you can't tell whether it is wood or steel, so it must be a special material. The top of the cane is engraved with inscriptions and inlaid with unknown crystal stones, making the entire cane look noble but not showy.
In the eyes of the salesman, this cane alone can already determine the prominent identity of the other party.
Shen Muke had no idea that the other party was having so much inner drama. When he walked into the room, a waiter poured it for him.
A cup of black tea, he picked up the cup and took a sip.
"It's a bit sweet. It should be because of the addition of sugar and milk. It's boring. To drink tea, you have to drink the bitter taste and pure fragrance. ⑥⑨④⑨③⑥①④⑤" Shen Muke was speechless and thought to himself.He shook his head and put the cup down.
Upon seeing this, the salesman ordered the waiter to take away the tea set and brew it again.He finally figured out that the other party was probably a businessman who traveled to and from major countries. He was well-informed and ordinary things were completely indifferent to him!
The salesperson said respectfully: "Our bank's property exchange requires experts to appraise the property you want to mortgage. Is that okay?"
"Ah, no problem, no problem." Shen Muke took out three suitcases from the storage space.
"This..." The salesman was confused. How did this person take out his box?
"This is my little Origin Stone skill." Shen Muke explained with a smile.
Undecided in times of trouble, source stone skills.
Anyway, there are countless Origin Stone skills on the continent of Terra, and this one is not lacking.
The salesman nodded and called for an expert valuation.
When the box was opened, the salesman almost couldn't help laughing.
Too much, too much!
There are three boxes full of red gold ingots and various gemstones. The salesperson estimated it to be at least [-] pounds.
Twenty thousand pounds, what is the concept?
In [Cloud Sparks], Cheng Shan purchased Kugen’s shop for 650 pounds.
These three boxes of belongings can hold at least thirty Green Sparks.
"Your property valuation is complete." After a while, the old man wearing glasses wiped his sweat and said: "Total
pounds, taking into account the premium, you count
pound. "
nice!
The salesman nodded secretly. He had indeed made a mistake in his judgment. This was a big business!If you eat it yourself, how much commission will you get?
I have been hesitating about the recent new Originium Land Walker, but now I don’t need to hesitate anymore!
Shen Muke didn't know that he had so many ideas. He urged the salesman to complete the procedures as soon as possible, then opened another account and hurriedly left with some cash.
It took him too much time to queue up to enter the city and handle business. It was already getting dark and he needed to find a place to stay.
Before that, he needed a supper.
He walked up and down the street, looking for a suitable place, and then he glanced at an interesting place - Valerie's Cake Shop.
Maybe you are not familiar with this name, but if you know Mous, a girl from the Philin tribe, then you will probably have an impression of it.
This is the place where the Mousse operator was infected with ore disease as an intern. In a sense, it can also be regarded as an Internet celebrity store?
╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Shen Muke walked into the store with his walking stick, walked around twice, and ordered some sweet scones and cheese.
The store manager was very nice and even gave him a small change when checking out.
Since this shop is open all day long, Shen Muke added another cup of coffee, sat on a chair by the window, and looked at the city through the window——
The texture of the glass is rough and not as clear as in the real world. Coupled with dust and oil, it looks a bit hazy.
Don’t get me wrong, this is not caused by the cake shop clerk being lazy and not cleaning, but by the accumulated debris in this city.
Victoria at this time was an era of industrial take-off. In this era, steam engines and Originium machines jointly influenced progress and caused a large amount of greenhouse gases and waste gases to be emitted wantonly. The air quality was extremely poor. There was always a mist over Londinium. It makes the city atmosphere very depressing.
Through the glass, Shen Muke saw the bustling crowd on the street.
They come and go in a hurry, some holding bread in their hands, some holding coffee in their hands. They walk on fixed routes, running like gears, maintaining the momentum of the city's progress, day after day, year after year.
The world is bustling, all come for the benefit, and the world is bustling, all go for the benefit.
This is the state of the Londinium people. There is nothing wrong with this state in itself. After all, who doesn’t go to work to make money?
But now, Londinium has entered the most fatal corner in the development of the empire-spirituality and wealth cannot have both.
In addition to work, people also need spiritual pursuits. But now, looking at these people, how can they still see the spirit in their eyes?
It's no wonder that after the old king's new policy was introduced, the insects in the parliament and the little nobles could easily stir up trouble, and in the end they could even kill the king.
The glory and pride of the past are no longer in the eyes of the Victorians. Now they only see wealth and emptiness...
With this in mind, Shen Muke drank coffee and spent his first night in Londinium.
Chapter 3 Settle down
In this way, Shen Muke spent his first night in Londinium at Valerie's Cake Shop.
Early the next morning, facing the morning dew, Shen Muke bought a breakfast, asked for a map, and said goodbye to the shop owner.
Although he had not slept for a long time since coming to Terra, being alone in front of this window for a long time at night still made him feel a little lonely.six ⑨ four ⑨ three ⑥ one ③ five
"It would be great if Nian was still here." Shen Muke and Nian always find ways to survive loneliness and boredom. Now that they are alone, they are still a little lonely.
After taking care of his appearance in front of the window, Shen Muke walked into a clothing store located in Oaktree District.
Savile Clothmaker.
If you don't know this, then you know
How about that high-end silver suit?It’s the winter-style [Skin]. In terms of settings, that dress comes from [Saville Clothesmaker].
╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Inside the Savile Coatmaker.
A shop assistant came over to greet me with a smile: "Hello, do you want customized clothes?"
Yes, Savile Clothing Maker only accepts custom orders.
This is a high-end store!We only accept customized commissions, and the entire set is tailor-made to perfectly fit your body shape, ensuring comfort and sophistication.
Shen Muke nodded, making sure that he was not wrong.
他要定制高档衣装倒不是为了什么奢侈享受,而完全是为了迎合自己构造出的新身份。欢;:迎"进"!入【,!夜;袭";的":月:费.'群;:】:.6;9.4:9.,3:""6!,1:3";5."
As mentioned before, he wanted to make arrangements as early as possible before the palace incident to deal with various developments, and the plan required a suitable identity. This identity needed to be neither obtrusive nor special, have a wide social range, and be close to Victoria's upper class. structure.
What kind of identity can fulfill these requirements?
doctor?scholar?artist?Or a soldier?
No, although these statuses have a high social status in Victoria, these statuses are only the pinnacle of civilians, not the pinnacle of nobles and politicians. They cannot reach the top group of people with these statuses.
所以思前想后,沈沐柯最终还是选择了他一直用得很顺手的商人身份。欢;:迎"进"!入【,!夜;袭";的":月:费.'群;:】:.6;9.4:9.,3:""6!,1:3";5."
Because businessmen have money, money can impress those insects, and businessmen often need to participate in social activities and travel around the world, which is the most suitable for planning and gathering intelligence.
So Shen Muke came to Savile Clothes Shop early just to match his status as a big businessman with an "outfit".
After briefly talking about my needs, a tailor came over to measure my size.
The clothesmaker's hands were quick, showing that he was very professional. After taking the measurements, Shen Muke asked, "How long will it take for me to get the ready-made clothes?"
"You have customized a total of nine sets of full-body clothing, including three sets of summer clothes, three sets of winter clothes, two sets of long dresses, and one set of home casual clothes. This workload is relatively large, so you need to wait until a week later to come and pick it up..."
"Can it be faster?"
a?Wouldn't it mean that he would have to wander around Londinium for a week in a nondescript Kjerag robe?
Shen Muke doesn't care about other people's opinions, but running around wearing clothes that are completely inconsistent with urban style will make people suspicious!
Shen Muke nodded his chin, then smiled at the tailor and said, "Is the person in charge of your store here? I want to discuss something with him."
The clerk was stunned for a moment, and then he walked to the back room. After a while, a well-dressed old gentleman came out.
"Hello, distinguished guest, what do you need?"
"Hello, old gentleman, I just ordered nine sets of clothes in your store, but the master told me that this business needs to wait for a week... I am in a hurry, so I hope your store can improve efficiency as much as possible. Let me get the clothes as soon as possible."
The old gentleman looked at the tailor, who spread his hands and indicated that there was nothing he could do. After a while, the old gentleman smiled and said: "I'm really sorry, because the clothes in our shop are all handmade by the tailors, so it will indeed be slower... We will Trying to speed it up as much as possible for you, but it’s also going to take five to six days.”
Shen Muke looked at the old gentleman and finally said helplessly: "Then please do it as quickly as possible... When will I pay?"
"The total cost of your clothes is 1050 pounds, which will be paid after the clothes are completed."
The old gentleman said, and then he added: "After we make the clothes, we will deliver them to your house... What is your address..."
