Chapter 555 Wait, have we forgotten something?
"By the way, if you want to make money, is there any faster way?"
Li Ming was about to leave, but suddenly thought of something and looked back at Thales, hoping that Thales could give him some guidance.
Although Thales had a forced smile on his face, "Haha, all the ways to make money quickly are recorded in the law, but if you are in urgent need of funds, Mr. Li Ming, you can actually try to be a sailor. The profit for a day is ten drachmas?"
"sailor?"
Bianca and Li Ming were both stunned for a moment, then looked at Jimmy, who also smiled bitterly, "Guan, regarding this issue, the troupe leader has already said it. Because the Caledonia has just set sail, the benefits for the sailors on the Caledonia are actually divided according to the spoils."
"The spoils of war..." Li Ming and Bianca suddenly thought of something. The Caledonia was, in a sense, a pirate ship.
Therefore, the situation of dividing the spoils did exist, but they did not find any suitable spoils.
There are quite a lot of seafood, but it seems that this place has a lot of seafood.
"So that's why a piece of Leviathan meat like mine is only worth two drachmas?"
Li Ming thought about it and felt that he seemed to have got the correct answer.
But Bianca just rolled her eyes and didn't say anything. It wasn't because your Leviathan's meat was only worth two drachmas, but because some jerk couldn't speak clearly.
However, she did not expose Taylor, but signaled Taylor with her eyes.
Thales also understood what Bianca meant and nodded. "If we ignore the monetary value of dramaque, it is actually less than an ounce of gold. Therefore, if you have enough gold, you can also get enough dramaques. But now you can't move around here without dramaques. So, I will lend you fifty dramaques, and it will be the fate of our acquaintance!"
Thales waved his hand and lent out fifty drachmas generously. He did not look like the director of a large library at all, but rather like some unknown landowner.
But Li Ming seemed to be conquered by Thales's domineering aura. "Fifty! The director is so magnanimous. He will rule the world for thousands of years!"
Apart from anything else, when Li Ming stopped talking so much, Taylor suddenly felt quite comfortable, especially when he said something like this, which sounded like flattery, but it was extremely useful to her.
"Keep a low profile, this is a library..."
Although she said she wanted to keep a low profile, Bianca felt that Taylor's nose was about to turn up.
But Thales was serious. He really meant borrowing fifty coins. A small bag of heavy drams was put into the bag and given to Li Ming.
Li Ming took the bag and stuffed it into his breastplate, then used it to block the bag. Then he flipped his hand, and an exquisite silver coin engraved with a cat's paw appeared in Li Ming's hand. "Here, dear Miss Taylors, this is a gift for you, representing our friendship!"
Although there was only one silver coin, Thales liked its delicate pattern and cat's paw style very much. "Well, I'll take it!"
After seeing Thales put away the silver coins, Li Ming bowed and said, "Well, goodbye Miss Thales, I'm going to continue my adventure. Goodbye my friend!"
After watching Li Ming leave the library, Taylor breathed a sigh of relief. Bianca's dead fish eyes shifted from Li Ming to Taylor, "Although I am glad that you two can reconcile, but is this exaggerated theatrical tone because you have been with a certain troupe leader for too long?"
"But, maybe, ha, ha ha..." Jimmy smiled embarrassedly, because Shakespeare did often express his thoughts on the Caledonia.
"Well, our dear Mr. Li Ming has also left, so let me take you to appreciate the beautiful skyline!"
Thales collected the silver coin, placed it close to his chest, then looked at Bianca with a smile.
"It's natural."
After Thales brought Bianca out of the back door of the library, Bianca looked at the river that ran across the entire city and the densely packed houses that combined various styles. They looked very beautiful and layered.
Taylor glanced at Bianca and said, "How is it? It is indeed beautiful! After you are tired of reading, you can come here to relax your mind and eyes. This is a rare Feng Shui treasure land! How about it, do you feel a little bit of the beauty of civilization?"
Although Bianca thought it was beautiful, it was not as beautiful as Telles exclaimed, "Do you mean the beauty of architectural consciousness?"
"No, no, no, if we only look at architectural art, which is something that extends from human consciousness, it is not enough to explain anything. If there is no endless human life to live out the connotation, then both the pyramids and the Parthenon are just a bunch of meaningless geometric shapes! To put it more concretely, aesthetics ultimately comes down to the interaction between human subjective consciousness and objective existence. In the depths of the soul where all external information is integrated and bridged, it travels through time and space and synchronizes with specific spiritual wavelengths, so as to enjoy the touch brought by it. The beauty of civilization lies in larger, more, and more complex pictures - in which every free will itself is a strand of silk thread and a color block that constitutes the picture..." Whenever Thales talked about this, his heart was extremely high. He followed Bianca with great interest and said one sentence every time he walked to the door of a building, "...so even if it is ugly in parts, it is still brilliant as a whole."
"...Okay, okay, stop talking. You're more talkative than Li Ming right now. You're too nagging!"
Bianca shook her head. Although the city was indeed beautiful, Thales was like a priest in the church at this moment, he was too talkative.
Thales looked at Bianca with dead fish eyes and did not let Bianca change her words. "Just tell those obscure philosophies of yours to those who can understand them, Jimmy. Let's - wait, where are the people? Where is that kid? Where did he go?"
Bianca glanced around, and Taylor suddenly understood, "Did we forget something? I remember that guy was following us the whole time?"
"Could he have forgotten it while reading in the library?" Bianca suddenly thought of something. After all, this kind of thing is not impossible, but very possible. After all, this kind of thing is not strange and not uncommon. It just makes her feel helpless.
