Three days later, Balliard and others entered a town. During the thousands of miles they traveled in three days, they did not encounter a single city. And this town, which was the only one blocking the direction of the dragon horse's running, seemed far away.

Desolation is not far away.

"Brother, how many days are there from Kaiyang? Where should we go?"

Balliard sat on his horse, patted a tall and mighty man on the shoulder, and when the man turned around, he threw out a piece of gold cake.

The stamps on the currency of this country are still inconvenient to draw. Anyway, gold and silver are hard currencies, and whether they are stamped or not has no big impact on its use.

"This place is the border gateway of Kaiyang Province. It is still two days away from Kaiyang. You only need to go west along the main road. But brother, you need to hurry up if you want to get on the road."

The big man weighed the gold cake in his hand and handed it back.

"As for this thing, I just asked for directions. Why should I pay such a heavy sum of money and ask my brother to take it back?"

"Oh? Aren't you short of money? Why don't you take this gold cake?"

Balliard was a little surprised. This man was specially chosen by him to ask for directions. First of all, he had a cultivation level close to that of a mortal master. Last night, Balliard also noticed that this person was sleeping on a branch. He must be a knight.

According to Jiang Yan, a knight will not refuse other people's requests, and it is much more convenient to ask a knight for directions than to ask for directions from ordinary people who may have never been out of the city.

On the other hand,

"How do you know, brother, that I am short of money?"

The big man was immediately on guard, and he had the intention of taking action, but he had no intention of hurting anyone. He must have wanted to capture Valliard first.

"You handed over the gold cake with your left hand. It has a tiger's mouth and four fingers are calloused. You must be a swordsman. Why does a swordless swordsman have no sword?"

Balliard didn't want to explain, but this big man wanted to take action. If he didn't explain, they wouldn't be willing to let him go.

"My mother at home is seriously ill and needs a lot of money."

Hearing this, the big man had a hint of embarrassment on his face and put away his guard.

"Then why don't you take this golden cake?"

Balliard has never encountered this kind of guy who comes to his doorstep with money but refuses to take it. Based on his life experience and the "social survival guide" that Karl taught him, generally speaking, others will regard him as a rich man.

The second fool then took the money without taking it for free

I accepted this gold cake without thinking of taking it.

"A gentleman loves money and gets it in the right way."

The big man's words were very brief, but Balliard could still understand the principle of equivalent exchange.

"If you don't have this wealth, what will your mother do? Since she is seriously ill, it will be difficult to move. But in this city, there are fewer and fewer people around. How can the doctor... stay there for a long time?"

Balliard originally said doctor, but the doctor here doesn’t seem to be called that way.

"If you don't take this dishonorable wealth, your mother will die because of your love of money. So, are you, a knight, a virtuous person?"

"This... thank you very much, brother, for your generosity! I will definitely reward you generously in the future!"

The big man looked troubled, but he still accepted the gold cake. Just as Balliard said, the doctor will leave in a few days. Although the doctor's medical skills are not enough to cure his mother's chronic illness, at least he can't cure his mother's chronic illness.

It would also allow his mother to live a few more days.

He wanted to take his mother to other cities for medical treatment, but the journey was long and there were no carriages and horses. He was afraid that his mother would die before reaching the big city.

"Hurry up and go! You're taking your time."

Balliard shouted angrily. He had never seen such a stupid person, even stupider than him. Seeing how stupid that guy was, Balliard couldn't help but squealed again.

"Longshe, can we say goodbye here?"

"...This place is remote and I don't know the way. I would like to ask my brother to take me to a big city and then we can discuss the separation."

At this time, Longshe had several unsolved mysteries in his mind. One was Balliard's identity, the other was Balliard's methods, and the third one was Balliard's head.

Based on the abilities he has shown along the way, no matter how big a family he is, the young master will love his talents and can't wait to accept him as his staff.

But this bastard tried to drive him away several times. Does this bastard have no brains? But the method he used to recruit talents just now was not something that a brainless idiot could do.

To say that this guy has brains, he actually doesn't want to recruit such a well-informed and resourceful young master? It is true that swordsmanship is most respected by the people of the empire, but how can wisdom be underestimated.

"That's okay."

The big boss can do whatever he likes. Balliard doesn’t care who Longshe is and what he hides.

No secret, just treat people like bosses first.

No matter whether this guy is a big boss or a future big boss, Balliard said that he will not suffer any loss and will not be settled by his wife or be immediately pushed to the ground with a hammer.

"Brother Xiake, restaurant."

Jiang Yan tugged on Balliard's clothes, reminding him that it was time to eat.

In the past few days, I haven't even seen a human figure along the way, let alone a restaurant. It would be good to be able to find some edible animals through the shadow vision.

It's a pity that Balliard's craftsmanship is not that good. It seems that he has forgotten what the sea fish he caught that day tastes like. Is it really a false world?

"Okay, okay, a restaurant is a restaurant."

Balliard jumped off the horse with Jiang Yan in his arms and walked to the restaurant nearby.

"Do you want to eat, sir? Food at this time is not cheap."

No longer a waiter, the boss trotted up to Valliard.

"Don't worry about the price, just take care of this little girl as she asks."

Valliard still didn't want to order. He had had enough of this little girl's supercilious looks in the past few days. He really didn't know why he had to take this kid with him and make the same mistake again.

Knight, what a beautiful word. It can actually appear in him, the king of Shadow Island. For this reason, he might as well be a little kinder.

"Okay, guest officer, please come in!"

The boss's attitude was respectful and like a loser, while the owners of several nearby shops that were still open looked at him with envy and contempt.

I despise this guy for not having any backbone. After all, he is also a tavern owner. Although his wealth is not one million, it is worth one hundred thousand. He actually made himself look like a bitch for such a piece of gold cake.

After hearing Balliard's indulgence towards her, and having rolled her eyes at Balliard a few times without being punished while eating Balliard's nearly black barbecue for the past few days, Jiang Yan became a little more independent.

.

In the dark shop before, Jiang Yan would not have dared to greet the waiter, for fear that Balliard would throw her on the ground if he was dissatisfied.
