"When you do this, you can bring your little follower with you." Violet stood at the door of the Lion Tavern and said to Brutus, "I will go to Thuringia 19 to find you tomorrow.
Yes, bring a weapon. If you don't have one, you can take this to the guard camp and borrow one."
It wasn't until the end of the chat that she realized that Juno was not 14 as she looked, but 16; Brutus also understood that in the Kingdom of Loma, 16 is considered an adult.
She threw what looked like a glass ball to Brutus: "They will give you weapons when they see this."
"Okay, I have to do other things, and you still have one day to deal with your own affairs."
Looking at Violet's back under the cloak, Brutus shrugged, and then looked at Juno standing next to him: "I personally think it's better for you not to get involved in this kind of thing, after all, no one can say
I don’t know what the dangers are.”
"That means I can choose to participate, right, Mr. Brutus?"
Brutus spread his hands: "Of course, of course, Violet said that I can take you with me, so why should I refuse?"
"But Miss Juno, as the saying goes, if you have a life to make money, you have to have a life to spend money. The reward is proportional to the risk."
Juno looked up at Brutus. She shook her head and said firmly: "No need to persuade me anymore, Mr. Brutus, I choose to join. After all, we never know which one will come first, tomorrow or the accident."
.”
"And just by following Miss Violet's investigation, we can get three Silver Rats. This is something I never dared to think about before."
Okay, it's that simple to buy the lives of poor people with money... Brutus said it was understandable. If he didn't do this, he might starve to death on the streets one day.
After choosing a Hispanicus dagger from the arsenal in the guard camp, Brutus walked out of the gate of the guard camp with the scabbard hanging on his waist.
"Take me to the market in Taterto Town. I'll go there and complete all the tasks." He waved the stack of lists in his hand to Juno.
"Okay, please follow me."
The two of them, one tall and one short, walked side by side on the road. The sun shone on them, leaving long slanting shadows on the stone road.
Juno suddenly asked Brutus her question: "Then, Mr. Brutus, for what purpose did you join in this matter?"
"Huh?" Brutus was stunned for a moment. He turned to look at the person who asked him this question, "Didn't you listen carefully? As a free citizen, you have no right to refuse her request."
"But I think Miss Willett is not asking you to help her, but inviting you."
Does that count as an invitation? Brutus couldn't help but shake his head: "I personally don't want to be involved in this kind of thing. It's not a big deal to write three hundred documents."
After all, the papers, essays, and exercises that Brutus had written before were all higher than his...
"And I still think it was a request, not an invitation."
The two stopped arguing about this. After all, everyone's understanding of vague words is naturally different. Since no one can convince the other, then don't continue the meaningless debate.
They came to the Tatto Town Market, which was originally a commercial street, but since a large number of people poured into Tatto Town, many small vendors appeared along the street selling various things.
Brutus would usually stop at the vendor who posted the task, write the paperwork they needed, ask what he wanted to know, and then take away the copper coins or equivalent items as a reward.
It didn't take long for Juno to hold a large basin filled with various things in her arms. She lowered her head and glanced at the things inside: a wooden eagle of decent workmanship, a wooden toy car, a few quills...
.All in all, there are not many things that can be used.
"Mr. Brutus, do you really need this?"
"Otherwise, what can I do? I can't work for nothing. I don't have such a good idea." Brutus also had a headache. He didn't expect that even in the town, currency was so scarce. "Even if it's not worth a
Tong Lat, that has to be collected too.”
After shopping around, he now probably knows the prices in Tateto Town.
While walking on the road back to Thuringia, Brutus recorded in his manuscript: "In the town of Tatto, one copper latt can buy two coarse wheat bread. This is the most basic measure.
Price, when bartering, people in Tateto will use pumpernickel bread as a general equivalent."
"Probably due to the shortage of currency supply due to the needs of the military, although copper latt has been the most basic currency in official circulation in the kingdom for more than a hundred years, in actual daily life, most civilians are still stuck in bartering.
The age of things.”
"In the guard camp, I saw many copper weapons, such as the Hispanicus dagger on my waist. There were very few iron weapons, only two long swords. The armor was also
They are all made of leather and copper, I think this may mean that the local smelting technology is not up to par."
"Getting back to the subject, most of the daily commodities in the Tatto Town market are valued within 5 copper lats. For example, cabbage - I think it looks like cabbage. They call it Lucile flower or something. One copper latt can buy it."
Buy a big one..."
"The standard of measurement for vegetables and fruits sold by street vendors is 2 or 3 copper coins each or a pound. In fact, their pound is different from what I know, but the difference is very small - this is because of me
Somatosensory awareness.”
"It's a little different in the store. The cheapest weapon in the weapons store costs 50 copper lats, not to mention that you have to spend several copper lats to maintain the weapon from time to time. As for armor, the cheapest leather armor costs 1
A silver lattice, and the shield also starts with a silver lattice."
"The quality of the clothes in the ready-made clothing store is slightly better than what I see worn by civilians. They cost 20 to 30 copper lat."
"After asking Juno, I learned that 5 copper lats is actually the minimum wage for civil servants in the viscounty. In fact, for civilians, earning 3 copper lats a day is a very good job...
..”
Brutus felt that he might have to spend a lot of money a month to buy blank notebooks, and he would also have to clear a room to store his manuscripts.
Although these things are quite cumbersome to record, he thinks they are necessary.
Investigating the daily life of a society will allow Brutus to better integrate into this unfamiliar society. At the same time, some of the things he will do in the future may also require a large amount of data support.
He stopped writing and muttered in a low voice: "If you don't know the living conditions of the people at the bottom, and you don't even do the most basic understanding and investigation, how can you create a better world?"
"What, Mr. Brutus?" Juno, who had been paying attention to Brutus all the way, didn't hear what he said clearly.
He looked at Juno and smiled: "Don't worry, this is just the self-hypnosis of a person who still has some ideals left."
