, The extraordinary Lord

Martin and the Earl stood in the woods, standing in his position, exactly the same as the scene he saw during divination.

"It's here."

Martin stood where the spirit had appeared. Looking up, the manor was vaguely visible between the cracks of the woods.

Not far behind him is the tombstone of Aunt Rebecca surrounded by flowers.

The Count stood in front of the tombstone, touching the words and patterns engraved on the monument, his face full of melancholy and longing.

"Martin, don't get involved in the investigation of the Fire of Modes."

The count suddenly spoke, his tone was gentle, but extremely serious.

"Why?"

Martin couldn't help but frown and asked.

The Count shook his head, stretched out his hand, and gently stroked the tombstone without explaining too much.

The two of them went back without staying in the woods for long. The banquet continued and guests entered the venue one after another. Occasionally, some important guests were not something that the siblings could handle, and the count needed to come forward to receive them.

The Count did not invite Martin to attend the banquet, and the latter rode away with some confusion.

Before leaving, he saw Clin, surrounded by several girls of the same age, and smiled and nodded and greeted him.

His handsome face and chic posture, coupled with a little unpredictable reserve, have once again attracted the attention and speculation of many people.

Some are because of his walking with the earl and the Count's attitude towards him.

Some are because of his interaction with Clint...

"Clin, who is that?"

The girl beside Clin looked at the back of the windbreaker riding a horse, and the curiosity in her eyes was about to overflow.

Clin raised his head and said proudly: "My father's friend, a knowledgeable person, is also the teacher of Rocky and me!"

The girl stared at her eyes and said in surprise: "Teacher? So young, what subjects does he teach you?"

Clinn smiled: "Don't look at the teacher's age, he is proficient in history and natural philosophy."

The girl blinked and said, "But his uniform seems to be from the temple, right?"

Another girl also said, "I heard from my father that those people are always mysterious and very dangerous..."

The girls seemed to be talking, and immediately started to discuss this issue.

But Clin looked for an opportunity to escape and came directly to the count.

She also asked curiously: "Father, what's the matter with the teacher just now?"

The count looked towards the hillside, his eyes a little gloomy.

It took him a long time to turn his head and look at her innocent face and said seriously: "Clin, starting today, you and your brother are not allowed to go out without my permission!"

Clinn was obviously stunned for a moment, and finally nodded heavily: "I understand, father."

...

When Martin returned to Shijian Hall, Doriani was worried and worried.

Seeing that Martin was safe and sound, she felt relieved.

Captain Mike had returned to the lounge and was about to look for him.

Without waiting for the other party to ask, Martin told him the content of the divination.

"Martin, you can't be so rash next time!"

Mike frowned and reminded him solemnly.

Martin nodded quickly.

He could truly feel Captain Mike's care for his teammates.

Doriani had just told Captain Mike about the divination process, and the captain was also worried that Martin would hurt him due to his reckless actions.

The divination result involved Count Cross, which was very important information.

Captain Mike reported the situation to the temple, and the above also attached great importance to it.

Not long after, Tia came to Martin to find out the situation.

Because Martin worked as a tutor at the Earl's house, he found an excuse for his abnormal behavior.

Moreover, Tiya also knew the hidden truth behind it, so he didn't have to spend too much time explaining it.

...

The weather is clear, Thursday.

Martin raises a heavy-ground bag from the bedroom.

It contains eight hundred gold coins, which accounts for most of his current deposits.

Today is the day of the party Ald mentioned.

Martin felt a little distressed when he looked at the big bag of gold coins.

Although this is not important for the power of the extraordinary.

Even if each gold coin is about the same size as a coin, five hundred are a big bag.

When put together, it was probably the size of a pillow.

The key is that ordinary cloth bags cannot withstand this weight, and special cowhide pockets must be made.

When he came to Shijiang Hall with these eighty-pound gold coins, he was ruthlessly ridiculed by Alder.

"Hi Martin, don't tell me you're going to take these gold coins to the party!"

He looked at Martin with a smile, his eyes full of teasing.

Martin frowned and asked, "What else? Gold coins are the currency with the largest denomination, I want to be more relaxed."

The smile on Alder's face became brighter and brighter, just as he was about to fall back and forth.

"Do you think it would be too troublesome if those fleets use gold coins to deliver goods when purchasing goods?"

"You know, some precious goods are not cheaper than potion materials, and they are larger."

Martin was full of doubts, but still didn't understand: "Then..."

Ald shook his head and finally explained his reason for saying this.

"Farelingburg has some money houses that specialize in providing gold coin deposit and withdrawal services. After depositing gold coins, they will give you a stub, which is equivalent to the same amount of gold coins, at least in Farelingburg."

"By the way, speaking of this money house, it's still the solemn business of Earl Cross."

bank?

But Martin was very sure that he had never seen such a store.

I haven't even heard of it.

However, Alder soon arrived at a money house with suspicious Martin.

It was not until now that Martin realized that such an institution was actually not a bank known to others, and the storage fee was given to deposit gold coins...

And the storage fee charged is not cheap.

The Count is doing a good business!

No wonder he was able to become the richest existence in the entire Faralin Castle and was relied on by the temple.

People in this era do not have many financial concepts yet...

However, the Count has begun to have a forward-looking idea.

Martin was sure that the Earl must also know how to use these gold coins stored in the money house to revitalize dead money and create a lot of value for himself.

After paying an additional eight gold coins at a rate of one percent in exchange for a stub with a denomination of 800 gold coins, Martin finally felt relieved.

Get on the carriage and head to the slope street west of the city with Alder.

On the way, Alder took the initiative to talk about the ruins he learned from the party last time.

"What will be done with this kind of ruins usually?" Martin couldn't help asking.

Ald replied without hesitation: "If the remaining extraordinary items are found, if they are ruins of the evil god, they will be destroyed directly."

"But it's already November, and the snow and snow are piled up on the snowy mountains. I guess people will be sent to explore again in March next year."

"Of course, it's not our turn to worry about this. The extraordinary people who go out to perform tasks must at least reach the intermediate level."

...

At the Flying Fish Cafe, Alder took Martin with a black robe and mask.

Before coming here, the two of them had done some disguise.

At least it cannot be seen that they are from Shijiang Hall.
