Secret: I, the hermit, want to make progress too much

Chapter 89 First impression is very important

Tilly is indeed a good prospect.

Roy also has extraordinary characteristics and potion formulas suitable for her——

Regardless of Sequence 6 and above, the Assassin path is very suitable for her.

Additionally, he does have a need to cultivate companions.

Roy will meet Hyde and Becky, but he doesn't plan to stay with them all the time. After all, everyone has their own performance and collection needs.

He needed to play the wizard, and the venue he chose was the South End.

As a wizard and a future player, Roy needs a teammate with good melee capabilities, and the other party should know the South District well and be able to facilitate his role.

Tilly was really nice when we first met her.

however.

He needs to be careful when choosing a partner. He cannot make a decision just based on a good impression in person.

as he said.

Will Tilly choose him because of his mystery and strength? Will An Zhi choose him because of the power of the Witch Cult?
As for the warrior path.

Well, a female warrior, and Tilly's figure is not that of a warrior.

Roy shook his head slightly.

He and Tilly got on the stagecoach.

When they arrived at Rose Street, Tilly got off the car and introduced in a low voice: "You see, this church is very eye-catching. The house I'm talking about is at No. 49 on this street, the one with the same golden exterior."

Roy followed the serial number to find it.

It was a house with a golden exterior, very similar to the exterior color of Harvest Church.

"Is this lady a believer in the Mother Earth?"

Mother Earth?

Tilly was stunned for a few seconds, and then said: "Yes, she probably became a believer of the Mother Earth last year. At that time, I saw her changing the decoration of the exterior wall."

"Followers of the Mother Goddess will definitely not reject visitors from other places. I trust your recommendation and help me negotiate the deal. The money will be yours."

Roy took out a 1-sole note.

Tilly took it and then lowered her head.

"Sir, I heard from those sailors that there are many powerful mages on the sea. You must be one of these people. Do I really have no chance?"

"Have you got three or four hundred gold pounds?"

Roy asked back.

Tilly shook her head honestly.

With so much money, why would she still be a pickpocket?

Roy smiled.

"If you want to become what you call a 'mage', you must first have enough money, or do you think your value has reached this level?"

Tilly shook her head.

She didn't think she was worth that much.

"That's it, and the mysterious world may not be what you think. This is a crazy and scary world."

Roy whispered, "Go ahead and do something good for me first. If you really want to follow me, maybe I will hire you when I open some company in the future."

"Thank you, sir."

Tilly bowed respectfully and went to the house.

Roy walked to the bar on the side, ordered a glass of wine, then took a few sips and entered the bathroom to try divination.

"Renting in this house would be detrimental to me."

The pendant quickly rotates counterclockwise.

this means.

will not.

Roy pondered for a moment, put away the pendant, walked out of the bathroom, drank the glass of wine in a hurry, and then went out to take a look at the Harvest Church next door.

Living here, safety is indeed relatively guaranteed.

What he was thinking about just now was——

Should I create a persona for my new identity as an "earth church believer"? But after thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided to give it another try.

There are still too few churches on earth.

Their churches are mainly in the Kingdom of Feneport. There are very few churches in Loen. For example, Backlund only has the Harvest Church.

The purpose of setting up a false identity with faith is to make it easier for you to move around.

What is the energy of the Earth Church...

Have to look again.

He paced back outside and waited for Tilly to come down.

After a few minutes, Tilly walked down shyly, came to him, and whispered: "Sir, I'm sorry, the lady said she would decide whether to rent to you until she meets you."

Roy glanced at her and then smiled.

"no problem."

He could imagine that Tilly would most likely be discriminated against because of her "professional" issue, so she would not be able to negotiate the rental deal.

Very normal.

He walked slowly through the door, leaning on his cane.

The second floor.

A blond woman in her thirties was washing potatoes and vegetables. After hearing the noise, she turned and took a look out of the kitchen.

Her eyes suddenly lit up——

The face of a handsome young man with a short black beard peeked out from the door, but he was not slovenly at all, but added a bit of temperament.

He looks like a learned scholar!
The woman thought.

"Hello, madam, I am Tilly's employer. My name is Glynn Rossiter. I have just returned from the sea. I am a scholar."

Roy smiled gently and said, "Tilly was indeed a thief before, but after I caught her, I tried to persuade her to get back on track."

"You are such a kind gentleman."

The lady had a bright smile on her face, "My name is Si Qiong Field. You can call me Ms. Si Qiong or Ms. Field. I think Tilly must have said that, right?"

"Well, I heard that you want to rent out a townhouse."

Roy was taken up.

"Yeah, it used to be my parents' house, right behind this house."

Si Qiong drew the curtain, allowing Roy to see the row behind her.

The exterior walls are relatively less refined.

After all, this building has just been renovated.

There is quite a distance between the front and back, so lighting and privacy are not big issues.

Roy took a look and said, "Where's the inside?"

Xiqiong introduced: "There are kitchens and bathrooms, and you don't need to apply for a gas counter separately. There won't be any problems in daily life. The interior decoration is similar to here."

Roy took a look at the interior of the house.

It's simple, but it's the best for daily living. You don't have to worry about expensive compensation for damaged furniture.

He is satisfied.

Tilly outside the door was stunned, then curled her lips and didn't go in.

After the two sat down, Ms. Xiqiong poured a cup of tea affectionately and said, "This is the wheat tea from our Mother Earth Church. Try it."

"Okay, thank you ma'am."

Roy took a sip.

A smell of wheat.

It tastes similar to the buckwheat tea from the previous life.

He smiled and said: "It tastes good."

"Yes, although it will be slightly bitter, after the bitterness it becomes sweet and wheaty. Even if you don't believe in the Mother Goddess, I think you can try this drink."

Xiqiong smiled.

Roy nodded with a smile: "I will, ma'am."

"That's a long way to go. Well, that house was left by my parents, so I have strict requirements for tenants, but a scholar like you will definitely have no problem."

Xiqiong smiled.

Are you doing it because of your identity?

Your eyes are almost falling off this gentleman!

Tilly was fuming outside.

She originally didn't think there was anything wrong with being looked down upon. That's just what thieves are, and no one likes thieves.

Just like they don't like police and gangs.

but.

Even though Roy didn't say anything, the other party felt that he was trustworthy and kind.

In just a few minutes, the two of them were ready to sign the agreement——

"Including furniture usage fees, the weekly rent is 15 sulers. Can you accept it? The rent is not expensive at all, and you can't find anything better in this location."

Every landlord says this.

Roy was slanderous.

However, he agreed with the other party that this location and location were indeed the best in the South District.

This is located at the end of Rose Flower Street.

It’s not far from Queens, the West End, and Jowood—

Going north, you can see the Jowood District across the Tasok River.

A few minutes' walk to the west is the junction of Queens and the West End, where Silver Las Vegas is located.

of course.

The South District is also separated from them by the Tasok River.

But they can enter the West End through Riverbend Avenue——

It was the residence of the rich and noble.

Roy was very satisfied with this position.

The rent of 15 sulers is indeed not too expensive.

"In addition, I hope you can pay one year's rent directly, which is 31 pounds."

Si Qiong said.

Roy thought for a while and said, "I hope I can pay for half a year in advance. As you know, I just came back from the sea and need to keep enough funds to fight risks or for investment."

"Well, for the sake of you being a gentleman and a scholar."

Xiqiong hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

Roy took out another wallet from his inner pocket, took out 16 gold pounds, and said, "Thank you for your understanding."

Xiqiong took the money.

"Mr. Green, if I have some learning difficulties, can I come and ask you? Well, I have been studying Chinese recently. Do you understand this?"

Roy leaned back on the chair and said with a smile: "Of course, Feneport is a beautiful country. I have learned their language."

He spoke a few words of Feneport on the spot.

As a way to spy, there is always a lack of language knowledge, and they can easily learn it regardless of indoctrination or active learning and memorization.Xiqiong's eyes sparkled.

"Are you really not from Feneport? I feel that your spoken language is almost as good as my Feneport businessman in Backlund."

"Live there for a while, and trust me, if you were in that kind of environment, you would master it quickly."

Roy was smiling.

Xiqiong was amazed. It was obvious that she longed for the Kingdom of Feneport.

This may be the emotion attached to her belief in the Church of the Earth, and those Feneport merchants may also have known each other through the church.

It seems to be a way.

He thought for a while and asked, "What do the Feneport merchants you know do?"

"food."

Xiqiong had no intention of hiding it, "They are all believers of the Mother Earth and grow a lot of food."

"Thanks to the Corn Act."

Roy understood.

Before the Corn Act was repealed, foreign grain imported to Loen would be subject to anti-dumping to raise the price or control the price, making it uncompetitive.

Since the repeal of the Corn Act, more and more people have come to Loen to do grain business, and the Feneport merchants that Xiqiong knows are this kind of people.

The tide of the times!

He sighed secretly in his heart, while a smile appeared on his face.

"Yes, after abolition we had better food and paid less gold pounds."

Xiqiong smiled and made a prayer gesture, "Praise Mother Earth!"

"Congratulations ma'am, you have found your place of faith."

Roy picked up the barley tea to express his congratulations.

"Thank you."

Xiqiong's smile was reserved, but the admiration and satisfaction in her eyes could not be suppressed. Unfortunately -

After Roy signed the contract, he stood up and said, "I'm going to buy some things and hire a maid to clean the room. I'll excuse you for now."

"Okay, I look forward to meeting you next time,"

Xiqiong Yingying bowed and took out the key to the house behind.

Roy walked out of the house with his cane. When he saw Tilly with an angry face, he couldn't help but smile and went downstairs.

Went to the house in the back.

Tilly complained softly: "What a superficial woman!"

"Tilly, most people make first impressions, and your first impression is so impressive."

Roy said lightly.

Tilly said nothing. She also knew that as a thief, she was not popular in the South District.

Being able to chat with that lady is probably because the other party did it for Jin Pound's sake.

She glanced inside and immediately said, "Sir, let me clean the room for you!"

"no need."

Roy smiled and said, "If you really want to enter the mysterious realm, being a maid is not an option."

Tilly was lost in thought.

After thinking for a moment, she was thoughtful, but still not sure, so she said tentatively: "You mean, let me collect the money?"

"When you steal three or four hundred gold pounds, either jail or bullets await you."

Roy said calmly, "Tilly, you have to think about how to get this wealth from me using relatively legitimate means."

Tilly was stunned for a moment, thinking about the legitimate business she could do, and then her eyes quickly lit up.

"What news do you need?"

"Feneport Merchant, please pay attention to me and find out where they live and what their current situation is."

Roy whispered.

Tilly nodded immediately and said, "I know!"

Roy was stunned for a moment.

"you know?"

"They live on Gard Street in the South District. There is a large open square there, and many merchants gather there to sell."

Tilly smiled sarcastically, "I thought about stealing their money, but gave up because their bodyguards had guns and grenades, and they once killed a thief with one punch."

Kill someone with one punch?

Either a trained fighting expert or an extraordinary person.

Roy narrowed his eyes and said, "Very good, you see, you have shown your value, I think you still have more potential."

"Sir, I will collect more information about them for you! I know many thieves and they are definitely well-informed."

Tilly committed immediately.

Roy nodded, then paused and said, "Where is the labor hiring company here?"

"Go west along this street."

"it is good."

Roy nodded, then opened the door and walked in.

Tilly turned to leave.

"and many more."

Roy suddenly stopped.

He turned around and took out 3 pounds.
"This is for you to get information. If you are able to reduce the fee without using my name, the excess will be yours."

"Yes, sir!"

Tilly's eyes lit up.

3 pounds!
She is confident that she can cut her expenses in half and earn an extra pound.

This is much more than stealing money.

really.

Your choice is right.

By following this mysterious gentleman, sooner or later I will be able to escape from thieves and poverty, and become the same person as the other person——

Even though he is a subordinate of a big shot, he is still much stronger than today.

She left Rose Flower Street, immediately changed 5 pounds into loose money, and then walked to a place in the northeast.

This is a shanty town.

The house was very simple and the stench emanated from it.

Holding a simple but sharp dagger, she walked unimpeded until she arrived outside a low house near the sewer...

A sneer curled up at the corner of her mouth.

"What are you doing?"

"Tilly!"

The two strong men who were rummaging around turned around, their expressions instantly dull.

The strong man named Dagan immediately smiled and said: "Sister, I am looking for money to ransom you!"

"Bah! Do you need your kindness? You agreed to advance and retreat together. If you see someone who is not easy to deal with, sell me immediately!"

Tilly looked at them sarcastically, while playing with the dagger in her hand, but her expression was stunned.

in fact……

This is a common habit among low-level people.

No wonder that gentleman can't trust himself.

Tilly's mood was waning.

"Forget it, to tell you the truth, I am helping that gentleman now, and you know what he is capable of."

"Big, big sister, are you real or fake?"

Duggan was extremely surprised, "How can a big shot like him look after people like us?"

"Why don't you look down on it? We also have our role, but we can no longer do petty theft like before. That is what fools do."

Tilly said excitedly, "We're going to do big business!"

"What big business?"

The two looked at each other, reached a consensus instantly, and looked at Tilly expectantly.

Tilly raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

"News! Collect information for sir, such as some big businessman coming to the South District, or something suspicious or something not to be trifled with. We will collect it and report it to sir."

"Can this make money?"

They scratched their heads, looking puzzled.

Tilly cursed helplessly: "Idiot! Thieves don't use their brains and will remain thieves all their lives! Of course the information is useless to us, but that gentleman is different."

Duggan and Ethan both shook their heads.

Do not understand!

Tilly covered her face: "Oh my God, I would even think of taking you to make money together. I am also a fool!"

"Sister! Sister, we must be loyal and loyal this time. Please tell us, why is it different for them?"

Dagan immediately stepped forward, but he did not dare to step forward for fear of provoking the dagger.

Tilly said: "That gentleman asked me to collect information about Feneport merchants. How much do you think he gave me?"

"How many?"

Duggan looked at Tilly expectantly.

Tilly held up two fingers.

Dagan breathed rapidly: "Two, twenty soura?"

Twenty soles is a full pound!
Ethan was also stunned, obviously unable to believe that he could get so much money just by helping to collect information.

This is much more cost-effective than working hard to steal money!

"You don't even dare to guess?"

"2 pounds!"

Tilly raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

2 pounds a piece of news is big enough.

She said: "If you think about it, he is willing to pay me 2 pounds, which means the information is worth this amount."

Then she continued.

"He gave me 2 pounds. Now I will give you 10 soles. You are responsible for helping me find thieves in the South District and find out information about the Feneport merchants on Gard Street."

"Those 10 soli are for you to inquire about the information. After the matter is completed, we will have 30 soli left, and each of us will have 10 soli."

Tilly looked at them and held out two 5 sole notes.

"How about it, am I loyal enough?"

"Sister, I'll do it right away!"

Duggan and Ethan took the ticket and went to find out the information without hesitation.

Tilly looked at the shed where she lived before, and then thought about the place that the gentleman rented, and couldn't help laughing silently.

opportunity.

Hold it yourself!
