Count of Wizards

After observing the cloakrooms on Queen Street, Connor chose a cloakroom named "Vazquez" and walked in.

"Welcome sir! May I help you?" A petite girl with a cute face bowed slightly and greeted Connor sweetly:

"What's the price of walking sticks here?" Connor glanced at the dazzling array of clothes on the shelves, only to feel a headache, and asked directly:

"Ordinary hardwood is three to five shillings, walnut is six shillings to one gold pound, and ebony is more than five gold pounds!" The young shop assistant introduced after glancing at Connor's clothes;

"Take out all the ebony ones, let me have a look!" Connor said with a slight frown. He originally wanted the most expensive cane, but considering that he might be regarded as a "big dog" with a lot of money, Connor still chose Suppressed the desire in my heart.

Seeing that Connor seemed to be "throwing a lot of money", the girl's eyes lit up immediately, and she said softly, "Please wait a moment, I'll find our store manager!"

A minute later, the young shop assistant ushered a middle-aged man in a formal suit over.

"Mister, hello! My name is Cross, and I'm the manager of this cloakroom store. I heard from our clerk that you want to buy a cane made of ebony?" The store manager who called himself Cross asked politely. :

After taking a look at Cross, Connor said lightly, "A birthday present for a big man!"

"Understood! Please rest assured, sir, the products in our store are all high-quality goods, and you will never lose face!" Cross suddenly realized, patted his chest and assured Connor:

After a while, Cross took out three exquisite canes and placed them in front of Connor.

"Please look, sir, these three canes are all made of 100% ebony, and they are all made by Mr. Mateus, a member of our Ruen City Craftsman Association. The one on the left is not only inlaid with silver and broken diamonds, There are eight tulips carved in detail, which is very luxurious! The one in the middle is gold-plated and inlaid with a five-carat diamond, which can already be called a work of art! The one on the right does not need the two in front Poor, the whole cane is not only silver-plated, but also soaked in secret spices for a full three months, keeping this cane by your side for a long time will have the effect of promoting sleep!"

The store manager, Cross, seemed confident about his products, and introduced to Connor proudly:

Carefully looking at the three walking sticks that Cross took out, Connor couldn't help but secretly nodded in his heart. From his point of view, no matter which one of these three sticks looks good, they are definitely on the table!

After deliberating for a while, Connor pointed to the cane carved with tulips on the left and said, "How much is this cane?"

"Sir, this cane is eleven gold pounds and five shillings!" Seeing Connor's choice, Manager Cross was overjoyed and said without hesitation:

"Ten gold pounds!" Connor said lightly. Although the cane on the left is not bad, this is already the upper limit that Connor can give. The remaining five gold pounds are not very generous to customize a set of fashionable formal clothes. up!

"Sir, the price of ebony has been high all the time. For raw materials alone, we have to pay at least five gold pounds, plus the production cost of Mr. Mateus. Ten gold pounds is just the cost!" Cross spread his hands. , looking embarrassed.

"Hmph!" With a cold snort, Connor didn't believe a single word of the nonsense that Cross said, without any hesitation, he turned around directly as if to leave.

Seeing that he did not follow the routine and was about to leave even if he disagreed, Cross's face flickered, he gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, wait a minute! Deal! I'll sell it to you for ten gold pounds!"

Hearing that Cross was "subdued", a smile appeared on Connor's face, and he just turned around and walked back to the past, took out two five-pound banknotes from his wallet and handed them over, "Wrap them well for me." one time!"

After receiving the banknote handed over by Connor, Cross kept a smile on his face, but he quietly tested the authenticity of the banknote. After confirming that it was correct, the smile on Cross's face became brighter, and he said respectfully : "Don't worry sir! We will put the cane in our best gift box!"

Walking out of Vazquez's cloakroom, Connor was about to find a good tailor to order a formal suit, but at this moment, a small hand among the crowd reached for the wallet in his arms.

The corner of Connor's mouth outlined a faint smile, and with a wave of his big hand, he directly grabbed the wrist that was touching the wallet in his arms.

"What are you doing? Let me go! If you don't let me go, I'm going to call the police!" This "thief" was still very smart. Seeing being discovered by Connor, the resolute villain first complained and screamed:

Looking at the thin and small girl in front of him, but wearing a patched, fat and dirty girl, the smile on Connor's face was even bigger, and he said leisurely: "Look for the police? Okay?" Ah, let's see if the police believe you, a thief, or me, a nobleman?"

"Are you a nobleman?" Hearing what Connor said, the little girl was no longer as savage as before, and there was a hint of trill in her frightened voice.

"It's true!" Connor said jokingly:

"Ohh Ohh ohh!"

"My lord, I was wrong. I'm so young, I can't even warm your bed...!" After receiving Connor's affirmative answer, the little girl sat down on the street in fright , burst into tears.

Seeing the passers-by on Queen Street, attracted by the little girl's crying, all pointing and whispering to him, Connor suddenly burst out laughing, shaking his head, and the interest in teasing the little girl in his heart also disappeared. , took out a few shillings, threw it to the little girl, and then turned and left.

This little girl looked only eight or nine years old. Although Connor didn't think she was a good person, she didn't care about anything with such a young child!

After getting rid of that little girl, Connor walked to a high-end tailor shop, went in to measure his size, ordered a formal suit, paid the money and agreed to pick it up tomorrow, and Connor stayed in the tailor shop, but walked out Behind the door of the tailor's shop, Connor saw a little guy he didn't expect.

"Are you waiting for me?" Connor frowned slightly, looking at the dirty little girl in front of him, why did she think he gave her too little money?

The dirty little girl seemed to recognize the unkindness in Connor's voice, she shook her head and handed over the shilling that Connor gave her just now: "My lord, it's fine if you don't arrest me to see the police I can't ask for your money!"
