It took a while before Roland came back to his senses.
He unconsciously opened some web pages from other countries and found that he could understand them no matter what language they were in.
It wasn't until he saw the hieroglyphs of a so-called ancient civilization that he realized they were a mess of code and couldn't be understood at all.
After coming back to his senses, Roland leaned back on his chair. He decided not to expose the fact that he knew words and could translate real words. He could imagine that once others discovered it, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble.
Now he is the only one who knows how to write. He can delay it as long as he can.
But he suddenly frowned again, because there was a reply immediately after.
'Can Roland translate the text and pictures on the forum in the game? Doesn't this mean that Roland's proficiency in writing can translate all languages on the forum? '
'Wow, blind student, you discovered Hua Dian again. '
'This reasoning is very logical, @Roland, come out and say something, or try the network in other countries. '
Damn it... Roland felt his head hurt. These idiot netizens act like idiots when they should be smart, and act like idiots when they should be idiots.
He sighed softly, closed the web page, and returned his attention to the game world.
Vivian pulled two children up. Seeing his appearance, she asked, "Vice president, what's difficult for you?"
"It's not an embarrassment, just some personal matters."
oh! Vivian didn't ask around. She pushed the two children forward two steps and said, "These two children, one is called Kendis and the other is called Nance. They are not illiterate yet."
Roland was stunned for a moment. He looked at the two skinny children. He originally thought they were two little boys, but he didn't expect that one of them was actually a girl.
"Then you teach them how to read first. As a spell caster, it's okay if you don't know how to read." Roland thought for a while and continued: "According to the rules, there is a fee for teaching people how to read. You will receive a subsidy of two gold coins later. Bar."
"Okay." Vivian smiled with narrowed eyes. Two gold coins were already a large amount of money for her.
"Then I'll take them down to settle them first." Vivian asked, "Does the vice-president have anything else to do? Or is there anything you want to eat?"
"Not yet."
Vivian smiled softly and left with the two children.
Then he looked at the sky outside and set off to John's house.
Hawke, Link, and Jet were already waiting at the door.
"Sorry, I seem to be late." Roland walked by and said hello at the same time.
The other three shook their heads, and Hawke said, "It's okay, we've only been here for a few minutes."
The three people opposite were all wearing ordinary clothes of ordinary people in this world, but because their temperament was very different from that of the locals, it seemed a bit inconsistent. However, the extremely high temperament of the three people completely made up for this problem.
People who have read books for more than ten years and still have the mentality of a player, even if they don't have much money or power now, will still have a vague arrogance.
What's more, these four are still elites among players.
The four were led into the castle by the guards.
A place like a castle is more important for its military defense function, so there are stones, stones, stones everywhere, and there is nothing worth seeing.
The butler appeared, greeted the four people first, and then led them into the main hall on the first floor.
The long table was filled with food and wine.
John was sitting at the head of the table. When he saw the four people, he stood up and said, "It's not easy to invite the four of you here."
John had invited everyone before, but no one came.
Later, he suddenly understood that the Golden Sons had their own ideas and seemed to see through his little scheme, so he simply invited all four of them at once.
As a result, all four people came.
So united.
If only we nobles could be so united... John shook his head slightly, this is impossible.
The four of them found their own seats and sat down. Roland said, "We all had something to do before, so we couldn't accept your invitation, Mr. John."
The other three nodded repeatedly. Before they came, they had agreed that Roland would be the main one to deal with this noble young master.
After all, John was a man who had received an elite education from the aristocracy. One look at this posture and he knew that one of his plans had been abandoned. He suppressed his unhappiness and said with a smile: "Everyone, let's have something to eat and drink. Since it's a banquet, you have to eat and drink to be happy."
None of the four moved.
Roland said: "Sir John, most of us Golden Sons are relatively straightforward people. If you invite us here, we will tell you everything directly. If we can accept it, we will discuss it carefully. If we cannot accept it, we will break up. , otherwise we wouldn’t be in the mood to eat anything.”
John felt like he had a headache. He made food and wine just to win over people. Moreover, many people were drunk and acted more "unrestrainedly". At that time, it was easier to make conditions or set up information. This is also a common tactic among nobles.
Unexpectedly, these golden sons would not accept this trick at all.
Seeing the eyes of the four people sweeping over, John felt a little pressured. He was silent for a while and said, "In that case, I will tell the truth. There are two main purposes for inviting four people here this time."
The four people looked at him silently.
"Can we, John's family, have a foot in the new dock of Lord Hawke and Link?"
Sure enough... Hawke and Link looked at each other.
Roland said: "No need. In this territory, all organizations and forces that conduct business must pay taxes to your family. Just charge them a little more tax."
Hawke and Link want to build a new dock, plan to build a fishing fleet themselves, and then rent out the excess dock for others to use.
Delbon is a big city, and there are many people taking the water transportation route. As long as things go well, you can receive a lot of money every month.
And... This kind of dock, which serves as a transportation terminal, is also an excellent place for intelligence gathering. Hawke naturally wants to have complete control of such an important location for his Silver Wings Guild.
If someone from the City Lord's Mansion were to stretch their legs in, they would definitely have to do things in a timid manner, which would be extremely inconvenient and boring.
So what Roland said, he thinks there is no problem in paying more taxes.
John glanced at Roland, then looked at Hawke: "So Mr. Roland is also one of the leaders of the dock?"
This is suspected of alienation.
And it was obvious how Hawke could be fooled. He smiled and said: "I am a stupid person and don't know much about business negotiations, so this kind of thing is usually left to professionals."
The other three chuckled.
John's mood became more and more depressed. Each of these golden sons is more cunning than the last, and they are not fooled at all.
And there seems to be no way to force them with force.
Two Golden Sons can already destroy a family, and now there are two more spell casters. John dare not show off to the four people in front of him.
It was so disgusting, John had never felt so aggrieved.
