It was really too heavy, as if it were a heavy stone, and the moment the Light Sacred Book was handed to Daniel, it fell down.Daniel gasped, and before he could react, he saw a slender and beautiful hand firmly grasp the Bright Holy Text.The owner of that hand raised his head, took the "Holy Book of Light" back, and said with a smile: It seems that Your Excellency Daniel is not ready to read the "Holy Book of Light", maybe you can try to start reading "The Beginning of Light", that book is more suitable for you.Daniel rubbed his wrist, and when the Light Sacred Book fell from his hand, there was a crunch in his wrist, and it still hurts faintly.Noah sat across from him, holding the book in one hand and stroking his chin with the other, turning over the paper.As if the weight he had just felt was fake!
This book Daniel glanced at the Holy Book of Light and asked suspiciously: why is it so heavy?
Looking at the material, it's just ordinary paper.Noah raised his head, turned the book with one hand, and said, "Because there is real power in this book."
Strength?
Daniel smiled, and there was a subtle mockery in his tone: Does it make people have the power of faith?
Noah shook his head and whispered: Everyone is born unequal, some walk in the light, and some are buried in the dark corners.Some people live a worry-free life, and some people live a fly camp.Some are admired, others are scolded.Daniel's face became slightly solemn.Noah caresses the Holy Book of Light: but this book can make everyone an equal being.Chapter 15 Daniel and Noah walked together for two days, and although he was anxious, he could barely suppress the urge to urge.If he had the backbone, he could have jumped off the wagon, but it was difficult to meet a second missionary on the road.After late autumn, there will be winter, and in such weather, how can any missionary go north.Daniel has always looked down on missionaries, believing that they are a profession that uses lies and deception to deceive civilians, and that he can turn others around with a single mouthful of clever words.In the past few days, in order to ease his anxiety, he has watched the missionaries in the carriage to pass the time.Noah lives a very regular life and is full of energy.When Daniel goes to bed every night, Noah is still reading, and when Daniel gets up, Noah is already eating breakfast.His attendant knight was a native of Neilbrook, and was very docile and respectful to him.As far as Daniel observes, Noah spends most of his time reading, sometimes the Sacred Book of Light, sometimes other books.In addition to food and clothing, all that was left in this carriage was a pile of books.Do other missionaries spend their days immersed in books?
Daniel believed that this was not the case, and how could those liars really study doctrine.Not all of Noah's books were theologically related, including books such as "The Value of Man", "The Fourteen Laws of Hantobys", "The Theory of Money", and "The Idealist", but he mostly read some adventure stories, and he always read those exaggerated adventure novels with relish, and occasionally said to his attendant knights: When are we going to Bane Canyon to see!
Or the Snazena Mountains?
However, the Barnet Canyon is the territory of the monsters, and the Snazena Mountains are also known as the Death Mountains.In fact, after leaving the royal capital and arriving at Banyaf City, after passing through two more cities, you will be out of the border of the Shilan Empire.Outside of the Shilan Empire, other countries often endure the invasion of monsters and all kinds of strange existences, and there are a large number of adventurers living there, who are entrusted with solving problems for the wealthy.They can do anything, their fame has spread throughout the continent, and they are a force to be reckoned with.But this is not the case in the Shilan Empire, the birth of the Shilan Empire is full of all coincidences and accidents, there are no monsters here, there are no natural disasters, the soil is fertile, the products are abundant, it is simply a paradise on earth.There is no soil for adventurers to live on.Moreover, the Shilan Empire is the most powerful place of the Light Holy Sect, and has cultivated a large number of powerful Judgment Knights and Priests to ensure invincibility in the war of faith.No matter what kind of place the Barney Canyon or the Snazena Mountains are, the Neilbrook will answer, "Okay."
What would you like to eat tonight?
Want hot wine?
No, boil some hot water and give it to me when it's cold.Put a little more salt in the evening meal, no pepper, cut the potatoes a little smaller, and be sure to have chicken!
Noah was extremely picky about his food, but the attendant knight had no complaints, he was always trying his best to fulfill Noah's complicated requirements.Their conversation is filled with rhythms and tacit understandings that only the two of them understand, and Daniel has a hard time interjecting.Sometimes they laughed as they talked, or they began to argue violently, which was difficult for Daniel to understand.Because they are always discussing some inexplicable issue.Sometimes Noah sees something in the book, and even how a woman escapes the control of her family and falls in love with another man, they will discuss it with relish for a long time.While sitting in the carriage, Noah was no longer able to talk to Aldrich, so he opened the curtain and took out a pen to write and draw on a piece of paper.Daniel could tell that it was a map, as Noah was depicting the route along the way, but it was interspersed with a large number of unexplained patterns and runes, and Daniel had never seen such a map.I have to admit that he can't read the map that Noah depicted.The Shilan Empire is really a great country.Noah said to Daniel suddenly.Daniel came back from his contemplation and thought carefully about Noah's words, which seemed to be just an ordinary emotion, so Daniel said: She can be better.Noah smiled and asked, "Lord Daniel, you said that you are a traveling merchant, what kind of business were you doing before?"
Daniel was prepared for this question, and he said: Do you know that the kingdom of Suha in the north, after passing through the Canscello Mountains, reaches the state of Gauffria, and the first country you reach is the kingdom of Suha.The Northern Alliance, where the Kingdom of Suha is located, worships the god of war, and in fact, the entire state of Goflia is the territory of the god of war.As a result, the Northern Alliance and the Shilan Empire have always been at odds, even to the point of fighting each other.Noah nodded: If it weren't for the Canscello Mountains in the middle, the Shilan Empire would have been fighting with the Northern Alliance a long time ago.That's right.Daniel looked at Noah with some surprise: "Mr.
Missionary, you are very knowledgeable.Noah smiled: I'm just interested in these things.Daniel thought to himself, then you are interested in too much, you are also interested in how a woman marries, you are also interested in how many eggs a hen lays a day, and even what grows in the field.The contradiction between the Northern Alliance and the Shilan Empire, how did you make money?
Noah leaned forward, revealing that standard expression of interest.Daniel was a little proud, he was indeed doing this business, and he made a lot of money: a Shilan Gold Coin in the Shilan Empire weighed 5 grams of gold and had a gold content of 0.98, according to the standards of the Shilan Empire, one Shilan Gold Coin could buy five hundred chickens in the Shilan Empire.He knew that Noah liked to eat chicken very much, so he used the analogy of chickens: but in the Northern Alliance, which was hostile to the Shilan Empire, they stipulated that the Shilan Empire could only buy four hundred chickens in the Northern Alliance!
In other words, in the Northern Alliance, it costs more to buy five hundred chicks.In this way, I can use one Shilan Empire gold coin to buy 500 chickens in the Shilan Empire, and then transport these 500 chickens to the Northern Alliance, and sell the 500 chickens in exchange for 1 Shilan gold coin and 50 Shilan silver coins.Huge profits can be made just by relying on the different values of gold coins, not to mention products that already have marginal margins.And in fact, what I bought in the Shilan Empire was not chickens, but gold.Noah nodded again and again: Amazing, amazing.Daniel laughed, this kind of thing, it's always cool to tell someone who understands it, so that he can understand how powerful he is.In this way, it was too cheap to charge you three silver coins in the first place.Noah said with some regret: However, the merchant seems to value integrity the most, and since the price has been set, it is inconvenient to modify it.Daniel: Can't he have the slightest sympathy for a businessman who has been robbed.Integrity should be valued by anyone, including the state.Noah said with emotion: If the Shilan Empire and the Northern Federation do this, they will only increase their own consumption.They are all designed to make each other's currencies depreciate at home and become uncirculating.Your method can only be used in the early stage, and in the later stage, as the strength of one side increases, the currency of the other side will really depreciate.But, in terms of results, who do you think will be the winning side?
Daniel's eyes sank slightly, and he said: The Shilan Empire is a great country, and she will eventually gain all honors and victories.But she still needs to make some changes, some changes that will make her a real thing.Noah stared at him, his hands brushing the book on his lap with the words "The War of the Aristocrats" on the cover.Lord Daniel, once a nobleman.Noah said suddenly.Daniel subconsciously sat up straight, his back muscles tensed, and he asked: Why do you say that?
Noah smiled: I should have known a long time ago, but I really didn't know enough about the nobles.Daniel · Owen, it's all in your name.The Owen family, once a very famous nobleman, gradually withdrew from the aristocratic center of the royal capital due to a wrong position during the war with the Brooke Empire.Noah tapped on the book in his hand: I only learned when I read "The Epic of Neil Brooke", the Owen family did not approve of the war against the Brooke Empire, and after the war was won, you lost instead.Daniel's voice tightened and was full of hostility: Do you also think that the Owen family's choice was wrong?
Noah waved his hand: I don't know much about the aristocracy, I read this book several times, but I can't see the second page, it's really a waste of the author's mind.So the rights and wrongs of the Owen family, I am not qualified to make an impossible evaluation.Daniel himself didn't know whether he was satisfied with this answer, he felt sour, pulled a smile, and casually opened the topic: Your Excellency the Missionary also has a book that he can't read?
Of course, there are a thousand kinds of people, and there are a thousand kinds of books.As soon as some people meet, they have likes and dislikes for each other.Some books are the same, and when you open the cover, you know that you don't like them.Noah said slowly: However, some people have been together for a long time before they realize that they can still be friends.Chapter 16 Noah They stopped and stopped all the way and finally arrived at the Bilodo River.Across the Bilodo River, the city of Banyaf is within easy reach, with its white walls and towering buildings on an endless stretch of emerald green lawns.Beyond the city walls were the merchants, farmers and their livestock who entered the city one after another.The population of the Shilan Empire was scattered, most of them concentrated in the royal capital, and in this remote city, there were not many people coming and going, and among them, merchants accounted for the majority.Daniel stared at the walls, his expression revealing a hint of excitement.At the gates of the city stood several heavily armed guards, weapons in their hands, carefully and discreetly interrogating the people who passed by.This attitude was different from the past, and the whole city of Banyaf sank into a quiet and oppressive atmosphere.It's the first time I've seen other cities.Noah lifted the curtain and asked Daniel, "Your Excellency Owen, is there any character about Banyaf City?"
Daniel smiled a little nervously, and while looking at the guards outside, he said: Banyaf City is nothing special, just an ordinary city.However, it is much smaller than the royal capital, but the city of Banyaf is located in a good location, connecting the port of Sulros and the city of Rittard, where the three parties meet, and there are two main transportation arteries, river and road.Therefore, there are more merchants here than in other places, and even the churches built in the city are not only the Church of Light, but also the temple of the god of luck.Noah showed an interesting expression: the temple of the god of luck The god of luck is a neutral god, and merchants generally believe in the god of luck, they are not only the best at squeezing slaves and reaping profits, but also the most neutral and friendly existence in the entire continent.As long as you have money to make, you can go anywhere and do any business.Sometimes this kind of behavior is also called shamelessness.Daniel looked at him and said seriously, "Mr.
Missionary, when we enter the city of Banyaf, let's separate."
Don't you invite us to your house?
Noah said: After all, we have been together for so long, I thought we were friends.Daniel tilted his head and sat on the innermost floor of the carriage, his face dark: it was not a good thing to be friends with the son of an abandoned nobleman.Noah asked softly: Does Lord Owen take it for granted that external identity rather than character can decide whether or not you can interact?
Daniel's voice was close to nothing: there were gaps that could not be crossed, and he sighed silently, closing his eyes slightly.If he could, he would have befriended such an erudite and curious missionary.I thought that as a missionary of the Light Scriptures, my only enemies were the followers of the Dark Church.Noah laughed twice, and Aldrich said, "It's our turn."
Who are you?
Where did it come from?
What did you bring?
Want to stay in the city for a few days?
Say it!
The gate guards asked in a rough voice, looking at Aldrich with wary eyes, and naturally they did not need to be the slightest polite to the people of Neilbrook.Although Aldrich answered their questions in full, the guards stepped forward and said, "Let me go in and have a look."
Get out of the way!
They violently shoved Aldrich and tried to push him away, but Aldrich didn't move.The guard pushed him harder again, and Aldrich reached out to hold his wrist, and said in a flat tone: Your Excellency, I have already said that there is a missionary in the carriage, and I will ask him to come out, you can't go in.You this!
The guard cursed loudly, and he struggled to withdraw his wrist, but he couldn't break free from his confinement, Aldrich smiled and let go of his hand.His smile was a bit like Noah's usual laughter.It is calm and gentle.It's just unpleasant.Seeing the clash on this side, the guards gathered around and raised their spears in their hands.Noah closed the book and glanced at Daniel.He leaned slightly against the wall of the car, looking like he was faking sleep, but in fact his muscles were slightly tense, ready to attack at any moment.I'll go out and deal with it, does Lord Daniel want to come with me?
Noah asked politely.No need.Daniel opened his eyes and smiled stiffly.Noah nodded, lifted the curtain, and saw the tense scene outside.He jumped out of the carriage, his black missionary robe fit snugly over him, a thin waist outlined by a hemp rope around his waist, a round and inverted triangle on his chest, his hair slightly curly and fluffy, and a heavy copy of the Holy Book of Light in his hand.May the God of Light bless you.He greeted in a missionary style: Is there something going on, please?
