Jedi stared blankly at the broken house in the narrow alley in front of him, half of the courtyard wall collapsed, revealing a corner of the beamed house, the windows without glass and no window frames, blocked there with some stones of different sizes.
The door frame was crooked, and even if it was locked, the gap could have gotten into a half-grown child.
Just then, the door opened, and a man floated out of it with a space step.
The man looked to be less than thirty years old, with two deep-set eyes, a rosacea nose, almost all the teeth in his mouth, a little hair on the top of his head, and his clothes shining with gold.
This person is the only elder of the Daji Temple in Baptiste City, Du Wei, except for flower willow disease, angina, alcoholism, and mild tuberculosis, he basically has no diseases, and is a very healthy young man.
The half-elf Blazing Flame smiled and greeted the drunkard in front of him: "Elder Du Wei, we met again, and today you are drunk again."
"Uh-huh, it's you, I remember you", Du Wei opened a pair of hazy drunken eyes, recognized the person in front of him as the customer who had generously paid two gold coins to inquire about the news, and he smiled kindly: "Of course, alcohol is a good thing." ” Jedi frowned in disgust, "You're the elder of the Daji Cult, are you always drunk?"
Du Wei danced his drunken fist and smirked: "Of course, Hiccup, it's good to be drunk, when you're drunk, I will feel that the whole world has been trampled under my feet, what a happy feeling" He grabbed Jedi's arm and said with a mouth full of wine: "Okay, now tell me, don't underestimate me if you want to inquire about any news, I know a lot of news." ” He leaned close to Jedi's ear, and the taste immediately became as terrifying as dragon's breath, and Jedi closed his mouth tightly, not daring to breathe.
"The real news will always exist only in the top and bottom of society, just like a spinning thread, and the ordinary citizens in the middle are the most stupid and ignorant lambs. uh, what are you going to inquire about."
"My name is Jedi, Jedi Thackle, have you heard my name?"
Jedi said quickly, just in an airy voice.
Du Wei was stunned, staggered back, reached out and scratched the top of his head that had not a few hairs left, as if taking off a top hat, and then gave a slight salute very elegantly: "Hello, Mr.
Jedi, it's a pleasure to meet you, may I ask what service I can provide for you." ” He grinned, "I can do anything but sell my ass," and then his face turned pale and he said very sacredly, "I'm a serious person."
Randy and Blazing frowned at the same time, and Randy asked in surprise, "You haven't heard my name at all" Du Wei was stunned and cried out: "My goddess, are you the new tax officer of Hugo Lane, but I am a vagrant, my lord."
Jedi was stunned and asked tentatively, "As an elder serving the goddess, haven't you ever received an oracle from the goddess?"
Du Wei puffed up his chest and said very angrily: "How is this possible, I remember that when I was young, I once followed my father and saw the great goddess issuing an edict together."
"So what about lately?"
"Of course not recently.
You know, the goddess is busy.
Also, decades in God's world are just a moment.
If God appears frequently in the world, is it still God?"
A hint of demonic cunning flashed in Jedi's eyes, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled happily, "Very good, I don't have anything to do, I'm just passing through here."
You haven't heard my name, that's normal.
Now, goodbye" Under Elder Du Wei's quizzing gaze, Jedi turned and walked out of the alley.
Blazing Flame glanced at him and said, "Aren't you going to take over this place and revive the Daji Divine Cult, you are a messenger of the gods." ” Jedi groaned for a moment, coming up with a high-sounding reason for his escape: "You can see how bad the environment is here.
I'm just here to give Hugo Lane one more drunkard.
I am an oracle of God, and of course I want to save them, but to save people, to save them first, I should not put my roots here. ” Blazing thought for a moment and agreed with him, "So, what are you going to do now?"
"I want to find a job, to live in Baptiste, to live like a common citizen, until I hear the goddess calling me", said Jedijue, who already had a bit of a god potential.
You know, he fused the wisdom of a human and a demon wolf, and dealt with all kinds of demonic beasts, and accumulated a lot of ways to deal with the world.
The beautiful half-elf girl looked at him seriously, her emerald green eyes stared at him for a long time, and suddenly said, "Mr.
Jedi, if you don't mind, maybe I can introduce you to a job." ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ Ever since Jedi Sakr left, the goddess Daji, who sensed a faint smell of the old man from him, has been stuck in a long memory.
Her life was too long, and she had experienced too many things, and it naturally took quite a long time to recall them one by one, so she didn't wake up from her memories until this moment, remembering that she had not yet given an oracle to her own believers.
All the altars of the Daji Divine Cult automatically lit up a holy fire at this moment, a soft and beautiful light, and the relevant gods made Jedi to be delivered by the oracle to integrate and strengthen the entire Divine Cult.
Dewey, who had just drunk and rushed back to his dwelling, immediately received the oracle, ran out of the alley like crazy, but Jedi was nowhere to be found.
Jedi followed Blazing back to the Golden Dome and stopped in the rich area not far from the Golden Dome.
There are prestigious shops with goldsmiths, joiners, the finest wig-makers and bagmakers, producers of the finest women's underwear and socks, shoe stickers, riding boot merchants, embroidered epaulettes and perfume merchants.
Most of the mythical figures who once sold bonds with baskets and eventually became financial magnates lived in the neighborhood, and the man Blaze found was a goldsmith named Devar Valentino, who had been an apprentice to the dwarf Ibek.
He learned the dwarven craft of blacksmithing and used it to make gold ornaments, which earned him the love of the nobles and eventually became a well-known goldsmith in the Golden Dome District.
Here, the goldsmith is a highly respected profession, as he also functions as a banker.
This business has been carried out for more than 100 years, and it was originally started by Teikyo.
A successful goldsmith had a lot of gold to be given to him to make ornaments, and he had to buy some gold for himself, so he needed to have a solid underground vault that even a good thief could steal, so that many merchants who came and went entrusted them with large sums of gold for safekeeping.
And pay a lot of storage fees.
Goldsmiths, on the other hand, are required to issue an exclusively marked receipt so that these patrons can receive the gold with the receipt.
Gradually, the merchants, and even the nobles, when there were transactions between them, were too lazy to go to the goldsmith to withdraw the gold, but directly transferred the receipts to the other party, because of the credibility of these famous goldsmiths, these receipts had the same payment power as the physical gold, so that the goldsmith was equivalent to issuing money in disguise.
Clever goldsmiths discovered this, and after calculating a reasonable reserve, they began to issue receipts beyond the gold reserves, which were not supported by actual gold, so that those who were anxious to use the money could pay the debts when they were due.

So they become bankers.
However, most of the gold bankers' spheres of influence were still confined to one city and one place, and could only circulate within the confines of the citizens who recognized his fame and credibility, but it was enough to make them become superior men.
The half-elf girl introduces him to Brother Dewar and leaves in a hurry, as Dewar tells her that Teacher Ibek was very worried after she slipped away, and is now looking for her all over the world.
Jedi Sack stayed and became an apprentice to the Dewar Gold Shop, paid 30 silver coins a month.
The salary of 30 silver coins was not high in the goldsmithing trade, but Dewar was a decent merchant, and he would not pay him for his contribution just because he was introduced by Blazing.
In Dewar's creed, it is shameful for a man to survive without work or on the mercy of others.
Jedi lives in the attic in the backyard of Dewar's house, Dewar's storefront is not very large, but the yard behind it is not small, a narrow alley, on the left is the heavily guarded accounting, processing and vault, and on the right is the residence of the Dewar family.
Behind there was a large courtyard, connected by a side door to a secluded back alley, and in the courtyard was a warehouse for miscellaneous items, an old and old wooden house, with a mess of rags on the ground floor, and the basement was the residence of the half-tiger Krees and his wife.
The goldsmiths and merchants here often keep half-housekeepers, who are loyal and do not ask for much pay.
Half Krees is a golden-haired tiger, a descendant of orcs and beasts, with a relatively simple intelligence, walking upright, smoking a pipe, and speaking with a deep baritone.
Its wife is a real beast, a tigress.
The two tigers were very afraid of Jedi, although he was forcibly transformed into a human form by divine power, he was a fierce monster after all, and he had an aura that made ordinary beasts extremely fearful.
His attic was small, even more cramped when it was split in half, with only a bed and a table, and a wall lined with boxes that could fall over at any moment, but when cleaned up it looked like a nest.
In particular, the sun is very abundant here, and when you open the window and lie down and look out, the pointed round roof hides the golden buildings, and the charm of exotic style is very fascinating.
Jedi, who had just arrived in human society, had not yet tasted a richer life, and now everything was a thousand times stronger than the grass nest cave he once had, so he was very satisfied.
Jedi, who officially became an apprentice at the Deval Goldsmith's Shop, was unaware that the limited manpower of the Daji Cult in Baptiste City had been mobilized, and was searching everywhere for him, a divine envoy who was said to have been taught by the goddess herself and could change the status quo of the Cult.
When an apprentice has a lot of miscellaneous work, no one knows what kind of talent an apprentice has, so all the work of accounting, smelting, carving, including emptying the toilet, has to be done.
Dewar had wanted to see the blazing side and transfer him to serve as a security guard for the transport of gold for important clients, a job that was simple and decent.
However, Jedey, who has integrated human wisdom, knows that in any society, as long as it has civilization, then the person who stands at the top of the society will always be a mental worker, and he is not willing to engage in such a promising profession for the sake of temporary comfort.
"Hardships in the bitterness of hardships are the best of the best," he said to Dewar.
De Waal admired this philosophical remark, and arranged for him to work in gold smelting, casting, and molding, and to learn the bookkeeping of gold coupons, which was more promising, and if he continued to do so, he might one day become a good gold craftsman or accountant.
With any luck, he might even open his own shop in a few decades.
But on that drunken night, he met the woman who opened the door of his second fate:
