《fall into darkness》Chapter 89: Awakening
Advertisement
After leaving the Ford Chamber of Commerce branch, Du Dian took Joseph, Barton, and others to a nearby tavern, ordered a table full of dishes, and let them have a full meal first. After all, they were busy for a long time, and it was almost time for dinner. Everyone is hungry.
"Di, Dean, order a little less, we can't finish this much," Krusen said while looking at the table full of dishes, gulping his saliva.
Du Dian smiled and said, "If you can't finish eating, just throw it away, it's not worth much."
"That's not good, let's finish eating." When the few people heard it, they couldn't help gobbling up.
At this time, a waiter girl in a white dress came over, covered her nose and glanced at Joseph and the others, and said to Du Di'an: "You ordered a total of 68 copper coins."
Du Dian frowned and said, "We haven't finished eating yet."
"We're here to eat first and then pay the bill." The waitress said in a cold voice.
Du Di'an was a little unhappy, but he didn't bother to care about it. He took out a silver coin and flicked it into the tray in her hand: "Don't look for it, there are three more servings of this grilled steak."
The waitress girl was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Du Dian to be so generous, but she underestimated them. She didn't say much and turned to the kitchen at the back to add dishes.
"It's so expensive." When Barton and the others heard the girl's words, they were a little embarrassed to eat, and they didn't know if they should swallow it or not.
Du Dian waved his hand and said: "It's all small money, you can eat it, if you don't have enough, continue to add, I'm not short of money."
Several people in Barton saw that Du Dian didn't feel distressed and cared, so they were relieved a little and continued to feast on the wind.
"Dian, where did your money come from..." Barry was about to ask when he suddenly saw other guests coming in from the tavern, he stopped, lowered his head, and quickly ate the food in front of him.

Du Dian smiled slightly, and after a few people had almost eaten, he took them out of the tavern and found an uninhabited hillside nearby. After smelling that there was no one in the vicinity for two or three miles, he said to them: "You guys in the future. What do you plan to do?"
The four of Barton and Joseph looked at each other, Joseph stammered: "I, I don't know, I think, I can find some odd jobs to do, and I should be able to get some food."
"Me too," Barry said.
Du Di'an glanced at Barton and Kruen, and seeing their expressions were the same, he nodded immediately and said, "I will redeem you, of course, I won't leave you alone. Now there are three paths for you to choose from. First, I am in business. There is a suite in the district, and there is a shortage of gardeners, gardeners, and domestic servants, you can take these positions, help me take care of the house, and take care of my adoptive parents by the way, of course, I will not treat you as servants, just in name."
"A house in the business district?" Barton's eyes widened, his face full of astonishment.
Du Dian nodded and said: "Yes, the second is that I will give each of you a sum of money. As for what you want to do in the future, it is up to you to choose, and I will not interfere. And the last point is to be my assistant and help me do things. ."
"To be your assistant?" Barton and the others immediately moved.
Du Di'an said seriously: "However, what I'm going to do is very dangerous, it will even cost you your life, and it's a bit illegal."
Several people were stunned, looked at each other, and hesitated.
Barton kept his head down and listened, suddenly raising his head and saying to Du Di'an: "I choose the third way to help you do things! It's just... my legs are not good, so I'm afraid I can't help you."
Du Dian glanced at him, nodded, and said, "Giving you such an opportunity, it is natural to value your ability, so don't worry about it."

"I, I'll help you too." Joseph stammered: "If I didn't have you, I would soon be sent to the mine. If I worked like Barton, I would die soon. No matter what you want me to do, I will listen to you!"
Du Dian nodded slightly and said: "I want to explain, it will be very dangerous to follow me, this is a road of no return, you don't have to repay in this way because I redeemed you, you don't owe me anything, I just repay The care you gave me in the first place."
Joseph was stunned, looked up at Kruen and Barry, thought about it, and said firmly: "I'm still willing to follow you, although it's illegal, I believe that with Dean, your cleverness will not be so easy to be caught. Grab it. Besides, I make more money doing illegal things. I don’t want to be a little poor anymore, I want to stand on the top, I want a lot of money!”
Hearing his words, Cruden and Barry, who was still hesitating, couldn't help shaking their heads, looked up and said resolutely: "We will join too!"
Du Dian didn't expect Joseph to have such a realization, smiled, and said: "Making money is just incidental. As long as you do it well, you will have more money than you can spend in the future." After speaking, he took out four gold coins from his pocket and said: "This is our current start-up capital. There will be new funds in a while. These four gold coins are given to you. I request that you find a remote place as soon as possible, the more remote the better, and then build a secret small factory. ."
The four of Barton looked at the golden coins, their heartbeats quickened a little and looked at Du Di'an in disbelief. Kruen couldn't help but said, "Aren't you afraid that we will run away with the gold coins?"
Du Dian glanced at him and said, "I trust you."
Kruen pursed his lips slightly, and his eyes reddened.
"At present, the money I have on hand is not enough, and there will be more money in a while, and there will be excess funds for you to study and study. As for your body, I will find a way to find out if there is any treatment. way." Du Di'an said.
The four of them were shocked, and there was some hope in their eyes.
"Now, you'd better go and change your outfits first, otherwise, with your current outfits, it is estimated that you will be robbed as soon as you take out the gold coins." Du Di'an smiled.
The four of Joseph looked at each other and laughed.
Du Di'an looked at the time, it was not early, and immediately said to the four: "If you want to contact me for anything, just leave a password in the square in front of the orphanage, and I will come over when I have time. Remember, pay attention to confidentiality when you act. You can't reveal your identity."
"We know." Kruen laughed.
Du Dian looked at Barton and said, "I will find a way to help you recover your slave status as soon as possible, don't worry."
"I'm not worried," Barton said with a smile on his face.
Du Dian smiled slightly and said goodbye to several people here.
After leaving the hillside, Du Di'an hired a carriage and returned to the residential area. This return trip took more than an hour. The sky was already dark, and soon it was curfew time in the residential area.
When Du Di'an came home, the Jules couple was busy with dinner.
During dinner, the two asked about Du Di'an's whereabouts during the day. Du Di'an casually said that he was wandering around, and the two didn't think much about it. After all, in their opinion, Du Di'an is approaching marriage age and is a guard, so naturally, he has a little private space of his own.
The next morning, Du Dian got up on time and went out after breakfast.
"The alchemist base I saw last time, I don't know if it has been replaced." Du Di was thinking about it and went to the secret base.
