Walking on the streets of Zotlán, blowing in the hot and humid breeze, the high-spirited Klein suddenly thought of one thing:

There are only 3 pence of change left on the body, and it costs 4 pence to take the public carriage back to Iron Cross Street, and taking 1 gold pound note to give the other party change, just like taking 100 yuan to buy a bottle of low-cost mineral water before crossing over, it is not that there is no other way, I really can't pull off that face.

"Take three kilometers for three pence, and walk back the rest of the way?" Klein put one hand in his pocket, slowing his pace, thinking of other ways.

"No!" he quickly rejected the previous idea.

The rest of the journey is just walking, and it will take a while, and it is too unsafe to carry a "huge amount of money" of 12 pounds!

And I was worried that the revolver would be confiscated by the "Night Watchman", but I deliberately didn't bring it with me today, and if I really encountered any danger caused by Welch's death, I would have no power to resist!

"Find a nearby bank to exchange for change?No, no, the handling fee of five thousandths is too extravagant!" Klein shook his head silently, feeling distressed just thinking about the handling fee he might pay!

The methods were eliminated one by one, and Klein's eyes suddenly lit up and he saw a coat shop!

That's right, isn't the most normal way of thinking to buy something at the right price to get change?

Formal wear, shirts, vests, trousers, leather boots, and walking sticks are all on the budget, so you have to buy early and late!

Well, it's a hassle to try on clothes, and Benson knows better than I do, and is better at bargaining, so I can wait for him to come back and think about it......

So buy a cane?

There is a proverb that says that a cane is a gentleman's best self-defense weapon, and it can be used as half a crowbar, and a gun in one hand and a staff in the other is the way of a civilized man's fighting!

In the midst of his thoughts, Klein made up his mind, half-turned, and turned into the "Wilkel coat shop".

The layout of the coat shop is very similar to the clothing store before he crossed over, with a row of formal clothes against the wall on the left, shirts, trousers, vests and ties in the center, and a pair of leather shoes and boots in a glass case on the right.

"What do you want to buy, sir?" a male clerk in a white shirt and red vest greeted him and asked politely.

In the Kingdom of Rune, because the nobles of the powerful and wealthy liked to wear white shirts, black vests, black pants, and black formal suits, which were quite monotonous, the male servants, clerks and waiters were required to wear bright colors or colorful colors to distinguish the master and servant from the noble and the low.

On the other hand, ladies and ladies wore dresses of different shades and ornaments, while maids were dressed in black and white, or white in black.

Faced with the male clerk's question, Klein thought for a moment and said:

"Cane, a little heavier, a little harder. ”

The kind that can blow other people's dogheads!

The clerk in the red vest glanced at Klein covertly, led him into the store, pointed to the row of canes in the corner, and said:

"The one inlaid with gold is made of iron-hearted wood, and it is heavy and hard, 11 soles and 7 pence, will you give it a try?"

11 Soler 7pence?Why don't you go and grab it?Brilliant with some gold?Klein was taken aback by the price.

He remained silent on the surface, nodded slightly, and said:

"Okay. ”

The clerk in the red vest took off the iron-hearted wooden cane and carefully handed it to Klein, looking afraid that he would break the goods.

As soon as Klein took the cane, he felt the heaviness and tried to move, but found that he could not swing it smoothly.

"It's too heavy. Crane shook his head in relief.

That's no excuse!

The red vest clerk put back the iron-hearted wooden cane and pointed to the other three respectively:

"This is walnut, made by Mr. Hess, the most famous cane maker in Tingen, for 10 soles and 3 pence...... It is of sunken wood, inlaid with silver, and as hard as steel, 7 soles and 6 pence...... It is made from the heart of the Bembolis tree, and it is also inlaid with silver, 7 soles and 10 pence......"

Crane took them one by one, and found that the weight was suitable, and then he tapped his fingers again, roughly grasping the hardness of each cane, and finally, he chose the cheapest one.

"Just this one of the sunken trees. Crane pointed to the silver-encrusted staff in the hand of the clerk in the red vest.

"Yes, sir, please come with me over there to pay. In the future, if this cane is worn or stained, you can hand it over to us to help you deal with it, free of charge. The clerk in the red vest led Klein to the counter.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Crane unfolded the four gold pounds he was holding in his palm and took out one of the smaller two.

"Hello, 7 Sol 6pence. The clerk behind the counter smiled and saluted.

Klein wanted to maintain the dignity of a gentleman, but when his left hand holding the 1 gold pound bill was stretched out, he couldn't help but speak:

"Can it be cheaper?"

"Sir, it's all handmade and our cost is high. The clerk in the red vest replied beside him, "And the shopkeeper is not here, so we are not qualified to help him lower the price." ”

The clerk behind the counter chimed in:

"I'm sorry, sir. ”

"Okay. Klein handed over the bill and took the black cane with silver at the end of the cane from the clerk in the red vest.

Waiting for the gap, he took a few steps back, pulled away, and tried the swing effect of the "off-hand weapon" in a small way.

Woo!

The wind was heavy, and there was a texture in the air, and Crane nodded in satisfaction.

He looked back ahead, ready to see the bills and coins, only to be stunned to find the clerk in the red vest retreating far away, and the one behind the counter shrunk into the corner, clinging to the double-barreled shotgun hanging from the wall.

The Kingdom of Rune has a semi-controlled policy on thermal weapons, and if you want to hold a gun, you need to apply for a "license for the use of all types of weapons" or a "hunting license", but in either case, you cannot have a repeating rifle, a steam high-pressure gun, a six-barreled machine gun and other military-controlled things.

The "All-Class Weapons Use License" can be purchased and kept at will any kind of civilian firearms, but it is extremely troublesome to obtain, even a businessman with a certain status may not pass the review, and the "Hunting License" is relatively easy, even if it is a farmer in the suburbs, it can also be obtained, but this kind of license is limited to the use of hunting rifles, and there are restrictions on the quantity, and many people with thin assets will apply for one to do self-protection in critical situations, such as now......

...... Klein looked at the two clerks who were full of vigilance, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he smiled dryly:

"Yes, it's a great cane to swing and I'm satisfied. ”

Seeing that he had no intention of attacking, the clerk behind the counter relaxed his expression and handed out the banknotes and copper coins he had just looked for.

Klein took a look at it, and saw that there were two 5 suckers and two 1 sucker notes, and a 5p and 1p copper coins, and he couldn't help but nod his head.

After a pause of two seconds, he ignored the clerk's gaze and unfolded the four banknotes one by one to the bright spot to confirm that the security pattern and watermark were correct.

After all this was done, Crane put away the bills and coins, took his cane, and put on his top hat, and walked out of the "Welkel cloakroom" like a gentleman, and took the nearest public carriage in luxury, and after a transfer and a total of six pence, he returned to the apartment.

Closing the door, he counted the 11 pounds and 12 soles three times before placing them in the desk drawer, and then found the bronze-wheeled, wooden-gripped pistol.

Jingle Bell!

Five brass-colored bullets landed on the desk one after the other, and Crane stuffed the silver "Demon Hunting Bullets" with intricate patterns and dark emblems into the wheel one by one.

Again, he stuffed only five of them, leaving room for accidental fire, and stored the rest in a small tin box with the five normal bullets he had just taken out.

Syllable!

The wheel was closed, and Klein Huo Ran felt a lot more secure.

With great interest, he put the revolver into the pouch under his armpit, fastened it securely, and then practiced the action of unbuttoning and drawing the gun over and over again, resting for a while when his arms were sore, and then continuing, until it was getting dark and the sound of tenants walking in the aisle.

Klein let out a cloudy breath and put the revolver back into the pouch under his armpit.

It was only at this time that he changed out of his formal clothes and waistcoat, put on his usual brown and yellow coat, and began to relax his arms.

Click, click, click, footsteps approached, the key was inserted into the lockhole, and the sound of a twist sounded.

Melissa, with her supple black hair, pushed the door open, her nose twitching imperceptibly, her gaze swept over the unlit stove, and the sparkle in her eyes suddenly dimmed a little.

"Klein, I'll cook the rest of last night's ingredients, Benson might be back tomorrow. Melissa turned to look at her brother.

With his hands in his pockets and his thighs resting on the edge of the desk, Klein smiled:

"No, let's go out to eat. ”

"Out to eat?" Melissa asked in amazement.

"How about going to the 'Silver Crown' restaurant on Daffodil Street? Klein made a suggestion.

"But, but......" Melissa still didn't figure out the situation.

Klein smiled and said:

"Celebrate that I got a job. ”

"You've got a job?" Melissa's voice unconsciously widened, "But, isn't the interview at the University of Tingen tomorrow?"

"Another job. Crane smiled and took the stack of bills out of the drawer and said, "They also advanced my salary for four weeks." ”

Melissa looked at the golden pound and Sule, and her eyes widened:

"Goddess...... You, they, you, what kind of job did you get?"

This...... Klein's expression froze, and he considered his words and said:

"A security company with a mission to find, collect and protect antiquities, they need professional consultants, a five-year contract, £3 a week. ”

“...... What were you bothering about last night?" Melissa said after a pause.

Klein nodded and said:

"Yes, it's more decent to be a faculty member at the University of Tingen, but I like this job better. ”

“...... Actually, it's pretty good too. Melissa smiled encouragingly, asking, half puzzled, half curious, "How did they advance you a full four weeks' salary?"

"Because we need to move, we need more rooms, we need our own bathroom. The corners of Klein's mouth turned up, and he spread his hands.

He felt like he was smiling impeccably, and he just had to ask, "Was it a surprise?"

Melissa was stunned, and suddenly spoke quickly, slightly flustered:

"Klein, we actually lived pretty well, I occasionally complained that not having my own bathroom was just a habit, do you remember Jenny......?

"We are very good and fortunate in comparison to her family, not to waste your salary on this matter, and besides, I like Mrs. Steel's bakery. ”

Sister, your reaction is different from the script I expected...... Crane listened dumbly.
