Chapter 18: In another world, you can obtain the right to use real estate in the capital with an ID card
Although he was once a monk who took the [Vow of Poverty], at that time, he could feed his entire family and he didn't need to take care of anyone at all.
Moreover, in later versions, except for the profession name of Mo Cheng, which still contains the word "Monk", no one knows what the rest of his character has become.
Money is very important. When Mo Cheng first arrived in Hesen Town, there was not much money left after he had a big meal after looting the enemies.
"One hundred golden griffins should be enough to cover our travel expenses. After arriving in the capital, we can still do something with the remaining money."
Mo Cheng was thinking about what to do with the gold griffins in his hand. "According to the latest arrival time, there should be more than a month before the start of school in Winterhold when we arrive in the capital. It shouldn't be a problem to get a thousand gold griffins in a month."
As the best academy in Aundair, it naturally has a high tuition fee. One thousand gold griffins sounds expensive, but compared with the resources needed to train a spellcaster, Winterhold College only charges one thousand gold griffins for eight academic years, which is really a conscience.
Of course, this one thousand gold griffin only covers the tuition and textbook fees. It is simply a dream to train a qualified spellcaster with these things alone. The subsequent investment is expensive, but there is no need to consider such a long-term thing for the time being.
We walked out of Hesen Town, deviated from the main road and took a secluded path, then walked upstream along the river, and finally found a body under a crooked big tree beside the river.
“It turns out that what the post said was true.”
He walked quickly to the corpse. The typical clergyman's attire showed that he was a subordinate of the Church of Light. At the same time, Mo Cheng subconsciously observed the cause of death.
"Time of death, about 48 to 72 hours. Interference from the dark and dead elements cannot be ruled out. Cause of death, pierced from the back from bottom to top, avoiding all the obstructions of the bones and piercing the heart. Yes, it was a sneak attack, and the attacker was some kind of quadrupedal creature with a very long tail or a frog-like tongue."
"A summoner? Or some kind of transformation maniac?"
While performing the autopsy, they searched the pockets of the body and finally found a small booklet the size of an admission ticket in the inner pocket of the coat. When they opened it, they found it was completely blank.
"The eighth edition of the Glorious Church's identity certificate uses the power of light to operate and store information. It is precise and difficult to change." He looked at the certificate carefully against the sun, and as expected, he found a black mist that was about to dissipate. "It accurately pierced the trajectory of the internal Glorious power, causing the program to restart and format incorrectly, making it impossible for the certificate owner to connect to the [Glorious Network] to seek help."
"Moreover, the power is extremely stable, just enough to cause an error restart formatting, but it did not damage the certificate and the glorious power inside. The guy who did it must be very familiar with the Church of Light, and his power control is very exquisite."
Taking advantage of the power that interfered with the operation of the light inside the certificate to format the certificate information, Mo Cheng hurriedly used the holy light to upload information about his appearance and holy light fluctuations to the certificate. The certificate then automatically regarded the information uploaded by Mo Cheng as an information update and sent a request for information update to the [Glorious Network].
A light flashed on the certificate, and a portrait of a kind-hearted woman appeared on the cover, with a pattern of two crossed herbs below.
"The Holy Society of Lickers? That's good. At least I have an identity now. I won't be afraid of being investigated in the short term."
The Lickers Order is a subordinate order of the Church of Light. Their purpose is to help others to the best of their ability. They are a non-aggression order little power and are affiliated with the Relief Society.
Most of the Lickers' Holy Orders are set up in remote areas of the city, adopting homeless children and the elderly, and providing herbal medicine to the poor.
“I do understand why that post said that one ID card can buy one house.”
[Foreign Land] When logging off, players are required to go offline in a safe place such as a hotel or their own home as much as possible . It is not recommended to log off directly on the street.
If you log off on the street, it is easy to find yourself thrown into a stinky ditch when you log on again, or simply waiting to be resurrected in a small dark room.
But you can’t log off on the street or anywhere else, so you must have a house or go offline in a hotel.
For some players who go to big cities, that is a considerable expense.
As for houses, in the early days, no one could buy a house in the city. Even houses in remote villages and towns were rented.
However, just when players were gritting their teeth at the real estate industry in the capital, a player posted his [ID card] on the forum and the benefits that the [ID card] brought.
He became a member of a monastery of the Holy Order of Lickers and had a free room.
Moreover, that place is the capital of the Principality of Aundair, and its geographical location can be considered between the third and fourth ring roads.
I don’t know how many people were envious and jealous of me at that time. Although I only had one room, it was in the capital and was free.
After taking away the documents, Mo Cheng checked the things on the body again, but found nothing. They were all personal belongings. It was obvious that the person who killed him took away or destroyed some things.
After seeing that there was really nothing to be handed over, Mo Cheng put the corpse's belongings back in place and tidied up the remains. Then holy light flowed out from his right hand, purifying and destroying every inch of the corpse.
Finally, under the power of holy light, the corpse skipped the cremation process and turned into ashes and was buried in the ground.
"Even though I've taken your things, I can't leave you lying in the wilderness. I can't bury you without a shovel, so I'll have to use the Holy Light to give you a funeral worthy of your status."
Mo Cheng silently clasped his hands together in front of his chest and said, "May your soul return to your hometown."
After burying the other party, Mo Cheng turned around and returned to Hesen Town. When he reached the main road and saw pedestrians, his tense muscles relaxed. At the same time, he looked in the direction of the strange tree in confusion.
He clearly felt the murderous intent and deliberately exposed his back, but in the end he didn't take any action along the way.
Is it because he is confused about his own true colors? Or does he not want to be his own enemy?
He didn't think about it for long. Anyway, he would be leaving Hesen Town for the imperial capital in the next two days, so there was no need to think about what the unknown other party was thinking.
After returning to the hotel, he was about to ask Lilia if she wanted to come down for dinner, but he saw the hotel owner with a hurt face. Mo Cheng was wondering why he looked fine in the morning and was about to ask what happened, but the owner was grabbed by the proprietress and walked into the room. There was a sign hanging on the door saying "Closed today, do not disturb".
Does the hotel have closed days?
Going up to the second floor, Mo Cheng found that the door of Lilia's room was open, and Lilia was nowhere to be seen.
The room was in a mess and had been searched. There were several different kinds of adult footprints on the ground. It was obvious that someone had taken the girl away against her will.
Could it be Viscount Joestar's men?
Soon, Mo Cheng knew the answer. He saw a note on the table.
A note was left for him with a picture of a bloody fang drawn on it.
