Chapter 547: Being ostracized by peers after moving bricks
Chapter 540 – “All the bricks are still ostracized by the peers
The old walnut grocery store looks like a deflated walnut boss drooping eyelids, just raised his head and swept a glance at Owen, instantly judging the other party’s spending power, so pointed to the side of the pile of a lot of old things, no longer pay attention to him, but continue to repair the hands of the complex mechanical artifacts similar to the same as the clock.
Clothes, gauntlets, weapons, miscellaneous items, each piled up together, it could be seen that the origin of these things was quite complicated, there were those sold in a hurry for money, there were those brought from the dead, and there were also those that were simply robbed.
Owen didn’t care about the origin of these things, the first thing he looked for was the clothes.
Luckily, these clothes were simply cleaned, although not new, but not much odor, Owen picked two sets of clothes and boots that fit better, also purchased a dagger, a one-handed axe and a round wooden shield, arming himself once again, and this cost him a whole ten silver coins.
However, there is nothing to be dissatisfied with, if replaced with new ones, the price will be increased by at least 50%, before there is no stable source of income, Owen would not dare to spend so much money in one breath.
Refreshed, Owen went to the Little Lamb Tavern, dished out four coins on the table, and received a cup of bad ale, a bowl of beans cooked in salt water, half a short sausage and a slice of tile-like hard bread, and then refused the recommendation of the belly meat.
This is a unique dish of heart, lungs, kidneys and minced meat stuffed into the stomach of a sheep, served with raw onions and poached apples, and is said to be the tavern’s signature dish.
In his past life, Owen had been a fan of offal, such as roasted kidney, haggis soup, duck intestines, and so on.
But he still couldn’t accept this kind of food that could be compared to the nine kinds of boiled cashews with jelly molding made of nine layers of waist tower, even if the waitress implied that it would be good for that kind of thing to eat.
Joke, he is a stick boy still need this thing, Owen despised those middle-aged men who ordered this signature dish.
Unfortunately, today sitting here are the town’s bad drunkard, do not know where to get a coin or two, order a cup of poor ale mixed with an unknown amount of water, ask for a bowl of beans boiled in salt water, so a small mouthful of sip, can be mixed up for a day, and when it gets dark, only to stagger and pretend to act like a full of wine and food while spreading the crazy while walking to their own kennel.
These people brag about something Owen simply do not dare to believe, half a cup of ale down, the world is created by them.
As for the bartender where there is some decent news, but he did not know what aspects of the news he needed, so he gave up and simply filled his stomach and then booked a guest room to rest.
The room was barely bigger than a toilet, with a single bed and a narrow table, and a piss poke in the corner, and judging by the rotting yellow walls and lingering smell, none of the guests were any good at shooting, couldn’t even squeeze a gun, and didn’t know if it would leak downstairs.
Not caring about the environment here, Owen opened the window to ventilate the air, and then lifted the linen sheets, underneath the bundle of straw is very dry, and emits a faint smell of sunshine and rice, there is no moisture to breed a bunch of bedbugs, and not infiltrated by the oil secreted by the human body, which is a thing to be grateful for.
Lying on the bed all relaxed, unconsciously entered the dreamland, this Owen felt very amazing, because he is only the body of a divine consciousness, said the main system is separated from a small program can also, but in the soul of the divine net shaping he was made up, even after the seizure of the body, there is still no abnormality, just like a real living person.
The fatigue of his body left him with no time to think much, and he soon fell into a deep sleep.
He didn’t know how long it had been, judging from the intensity of the sunlight, even if it wasn’t noon, it was almost noon, rubbing his eyes, Owen climbed up from the bed.
“Oops, my body is actually feeling some soreness, it seems that physical combat is still too much of a stretch for a mage apprentice.” Owen crossed his arms and twisted his body clockwise, and after feeling that his condition was improving, he exhaled a long breath before deciding to add some.
As a mage, the highest attribute was surprisingly Charisma, and since he wasn’t a warlock yet, the points were obviously wasted. Although he was tempted to load the points on Strength or Agility, Owen was sensible enough to add the points on Intelligence, and then found a job as a bricklayer.
It would have been nice to find an easy job copying books, but that wasn’t available here.
Books were already rare, and the chances of needing to transcribe them were even rarer, and even if they were, they wouldn’t fall to him, an outsider.
In order not to sit on his ass, Owen could only find a job carrying bricks.
Brick work is not difficult, small forest town construction time is not short, there will always be some dangerous houses, their task is responsible for the demolition and reconstruction of dangerous houses, as for the owner’s willingness, willing to pay, unwilling to house to the town, so this work is very inviting people to hate, a lot of people can not withstand the pressure on the run, so will recruit Owen this kind of outsiders.
Demolition, moving bricks, walls, barely two days of work, not to mention a tired sweat, the money earned is not enough to eat, but also by the peers of the ostracism and suppression, just because he is a foreigner!
Owen which has suffered this gas, decisively choose to give up, do not have to suffer the gang behind the back of the discussion and ostracism, and do not pay attention to will be thrown to the body of the small stone.
Without a job, Owen was left with more and more difficulties, so the silver coins in his hand were not easy to spend.
As for the rest of the money as capital to do some business, earn less dry meaningless, earn big money business he simply can not keep.
When the law is relatively sound, there are acquisitions and mergers, in the feudal era, the face of big businessmen will also pay attention to eat under the law, he is such a bottom of the people from the bottom of the world if you want to think of ways to make money, the best result is to give the big businessmen and the nobles work to sell their lives, luck almost people directly no.
Until then, Owen realized that he lacked not the opportunity to work, not his ability, but the lack of strength and status.
If it is a general crosser, not to stir up the will to fight, or to sink, regardless of the kind, will choose some less honorable means and more radical behavior, said its name was forced.
Luckily, Owen is only here to experience life, the body in the system under the father’s meticulous care, in addition to their own battle of wits, has not really suffered anything.
Even if he wanted to make up for it now, he wasn’t really starting from nothing, at least the resurrection coins were enough.
As a god controlling millions of people in the Northlands, he really didn’t lack faith power, at least there wasn’t the slightest pressure to pay for the resurrection of a mortal dead or alive.
After realizing this, Owen decided to become an adventurer, which was the last struggle for him, as well as for the majority of people who were not willing to accept an ordinary fate.
As long as there are people who are not willing to be ordinary, as long as there is a strict class, the special group of adventurers will not disappear, and even Owen suspected that there is a god of adventurers, whose authority is controlled by the divine network, otherwise how can there be adventurers everywhere, it is comparable to the fourth heavenly disaster.
