Elevator Dimension Line

Tantai Ye heard the question coming from behind him and turned his head sideways. He saw three well-dressed men holding wine glasses and gesturing to him. He smiled slightly and raised his glasses.

"Tantai Ye, I wonder what you have done?"

The youngest man among the three stood up and said: "This gentleman looks very unfamiliar. He seems to have never seen him before. It must be his first time here. Oh, this is Jerry Fitzgerald. A knight, this is Knight Harvey Schubert, and this is Baron Christer Fremont, excuse me for interrupting, we also see that Mr. Ye has a noble temperament, but I don’t know where he comes from? What is his title?"

Tantaiye turned his chair slightly, nodded sideways and said, "I come from the Eastern Continent, and the title is not what you said."

"That's it! We often see people from the East here. I wonder what your husband does here?" asked the man named Jerry. It can be seen that the three of them are very interested in Tantai Ye. Da, I probably have never seen a person with such a special temperament. He seems casual and lazy, but he also has a faint majesty and domineering air of a superior person.

"They are engaged in maritime business. I wonder what the three of you do?" Tantai Ye asked.

It was the knight Jerry who answered Tantaiye's question. He and another knight named Harvey had several shops of their own in the city, and the baron named Philemon was once a naval admiral. , but now he runs a farm,

These were just two small merchants and a small farmer. Tantaiye felt disgusted in his heart, but seeing that the other party had a sense of superiority, he nodded and smiled and said politely,

Then the four of them became familiar with each other and started chatting. Tantai Ye also fell into his trap and just collected some information.

Tantaiye asked some questions about the customs and customs of the Western Continent, and the other three people also made some introductions. However, when he asked about the gold diggers, the mysterious society, etc., and the relationships behind them, the other three people were obviously a little confused. The voice is unknown, but he just told Tantai Ye that behind these organizations are members of the nobility or royal family. It is best for ordinary people to participate less. You must know that once the interests are involved, these people can eat you to the bone.

It can be seen that the family of Baron Christer Philemon who said these words may have suffered in this regard before.

So Tantaiye changed the subject and asked about the dance three days later.

"Are you talking about the ball that the Marquis of Carlisle will hold?" Baron Philemon put down his glass and said,

"Yes, I want to visit the Marquis. I heard that he manages this city. It would be better for me to do business here and pay him a visit." Tantai Ye said,

"If you want to meet the Marquis alone, you will definitely need an introducer. However, it is also a good idea to go to the ball. Although you cannot meet alone, you can still meet the Marquis at the ball," Philemon nodded.

Perhaps because he saw that the other party wanted him to be the introducer, Philemon also said bluntly that although he was a baron, he still couldn't talk to the Marquis of Carlisle. He was just a small farmer growing sugar beets, and his title was still hereditary. It feels a bit like a middle-class family. The real big nobles look down on these small nobles.

Tantaiye saw that the other party intended to refuse, so he didn't force it. He didn't have to have a relationship with that marquis. He came to this world to do a mission, not to associate with the nobles. The reason why he wanted to meet this The Marquis also wanted to easily obtain some scarce resources to pave the way for subsequent tasks.

However, although he could not be introduced, as a person who was invited to the ball, Philemon invited Tantaiye to go with him when the time came, so as to avoid being questioned and registered because he had no identity.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that you can’t participate without status. The dance held this time is open to the public. In addition to those with knighthoods who are invited, some successful people, business celebrities, etc., as long as they have some status and assets can participate.

According to Philemon's introduction, this ball seems to be a public ball held by the Marquis to celebrate the coming of age of his youngest daughter, and I also heard that something important will be announced at the ball, and it is said to be some incredible wealth... In short, this time it is of concern There are a lot of people attending this event, and it will definitely be very lively.

Since he was invited, Tantaiye just accepted it and expressed his gratitude to the other party. After agreeing on the time and meeting place, and chatting for a few more words, Tantaiye left as if he had something to do, but called for service before leaving. Sir, I gave each of the three of them a bottle of wine as a thank you.

Chinese! Pay attention to courtesy and reciprocity, not to mention the other party is quite friendly and provides some help.

After leaving the tavern and seeing that it was almost time, Tantaiye walked to the dock. He, Yaozi, Tomoko and others had already agreed to meet back on the ship. They did not plan to stay in a hotel or anything on the shore.

Because hotels in this era are not that clean. Instead of using those unclean things, it is better to have all your own things on your own ship. Although the place is a little smaller, Yaozi and Tomoko decorated the cabin It's very comfortable, and it's not that uncomfortable to live there.

Tantai Ye had just walked a certain distance along the street when an angry shout came from the crowd far away on the opposite side. Then a thin figure ran out of the crowd with his head lowered. The crowd behind him was chaotic, and several people The man was shouting and chasing,

The one who was being chased was a thin figure, wearing very tattered clothes, including coarse linen clothes and trousers, and the loose linen clothes were full of holes. A mess of long hair like a bird's nest was held up by a ragged felt hat. , the pieces of messy hair stuck out from under the brim of the hat, but covered the head and face clearly, and the exposed skin was pitch black, but mixed with some bright red scars, Tantai Ye could tell with just one glance, Those are whip marks,

At this time, the thin figure ran barefoot in front of Tantai Ye. He saw the people behind him approaching, and then turned around and turned into a side alley. He probably saw the darkness of the alley and wanted to get rid of the pursuers.

Tantai Ye looked at the figure turning into the alley in front of him and cracked his lips. This little guy was dizzy. Why did he run into a dead end?

Sure enough, the three chasing men also ran over at this time, but it was obvious that the three of them were familiar with this city. When they saw each other running into a dead end, they were not in a hurry.

"Look at where she's running this time. This little wild cat needs to be taken back and taught a lesson soon," one of the men said with a laugh.

"What a stupid guy. He ran away as soon as he came here. At least he waited until he got familiar with it and talked about it!"

"I think she has no chance. The captain will definitely not spare her this time!" the other two said,

Then the three of them walked in. The alley was not deep, and they could see a corner not far away. However, someone ran out of the corner. It was the thin figure just now. At this time, she was as anxious as a hot pot. Ant ran in in a daze, and when she turned a corner, she saw the back wall of a house. It was obviously a dead end. She took pictures of the back doors of two houses in the alley, but none of them were open. One of them even shouted to drive her away.

Tantai Ye did not leave in a hurry, but stood at the entrance of the alley with interest, watching a few people. No one who was coming and going around stopped to watch. It seemed to be a common thing.

"Hey hey hey~~~~Why don't you run away? Are you tired?" A man in the lead said with a smile.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the man finished speaking, the desperate figure opposite shouted, "I'll fight with you!" The voice was high-pitched and clear,

"Huh?" Tantai Ye outside was stunned. He was mistaken. He turned out to be a woman. Her voice didn't sound loud at all!

At this time, the thin woman who rushed up inside was kicked to the ground by the leading man as soon as she got closer. She fell to the ground and tried to get up to resist, but she was punched and kicked by the other two men who came up a few steps away. Kick,

"Be careful, don't break it. If you don't sell it for money later, be careful, the captain will twist your heads!" the leading man reminded,

But as soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from behind and said: "You three should stop. It's a bit unreasonable to hit a girl like this!"

The leading man turned around, and the other two also stopped. They turned around and saw an unusually clean man in white clothes and white trousers standing not far behind the leading man, looking at the others with a smile.

"Who are you? You have nothing to do here. I advise you to mind your own business." The leading man said,

"I'm not nosy, I'm just curious. Even if she's a girl who made mistakes, she shouldn't be treated like this!" Tantaiye raised his hand slightly and said,

"You don't need to worry about it. She is just a slave we bought. We have the right to dispose of her. Go away quickly." The man said impatiently. Although the person wearing the other person's clothes seemed to have an aristocratic temperament, they did not care whether they were aristocratic or not. noble,

Also, these people look like pirates at first glance. Even if they are not pirates, they are not good people. Tantai guessed this at the first sight, so he intervened, otherwise he would have left long ago.

"I was not bought by them. I was caught by them in distress at sea. They want to sell me. Please help me!" After hearing this, the woman on the ground hurriedly raised her head and asked for help, regardless of the pain in her body.

"Shut up, you cheap slave. You are also slaves who escaped from other places. If we catch you, you belong to us," the man next to her kicked her and said disdainfully.

"Did you hear that? She is our slave, and we have the right to deal with her," the leading man glanced at Tantai Ye and said,

"I heard it. The people you captured took it as your own and now sell them for money!" Tantaiye nodded and said,

"You are deliberately going against us..." After listening to Tantai's words, the leading man raised his eyebrows and was about to explode on the spot, but was interrupted by the other party raising his hand.

"Don't worry! Didn't you just say you wanted to sell it for money? How much?"

The man was also stunned by this change, but then he laughed. There was also a fat sheep delivered to his door!

After looking up and down, the man said: "10 gold coins, this is the best. It's a discount for you today."

"You're talking nonsense. A slave in his prime only costs 5 silver coins..." the woman who was trampled by another man and lying on the ground shouted,
