The Magician of Clow

Chapter 650 Spending money like soil, the king of the Far East

With black carriages and vermilion-painted wheels, the sound of rumbling carriages is passing through the streets of Milan like rain. The handsome horses are carefully cared for by the drivers every day.

Although the internal combustion engine seems to have appeared, it has just started, so the carriages used by nobles are probably the Mercedes-Benz of this era.
Fangran sat on a chair with a silk cushion, and it was the first time he sat in this kind of old European-style carriage. He looked at the upside-down decoration outside the glass window and the streets of Milan, thinking about it.

Three 10 minutes later,
Milan, Via Montenapoleone.

Via Montenapoleone, the name that probably dates back to the eighteenth century represents Milan, and it is also the most elegant and expensive shopping street in the whole of Italy, where the noble ladies often haunt!

You can find many high-end boutiques of the world's top fashion brands here. Although not everyone can afford it, everyone really wants to see the true appearance of these big names.

You don't need to take anything home, even if you come to this street, you will be infected by the beautiful buildings and strong fashion atmosphere on the street.

Holding the slender hand in the girl's long sleeves, watching her carefully step on the steps with the cowhide short boots on the skirt, and step down from the luxurious carriage inside, I feel a bit like a fairy tale.

Looking around, Fangran saw a street full of classical beauty, and there were also many carriages parked by the side of the road.
The gentleman in the black suit stretched out his hand, and the graceful lady raised the complicated skirt, and the time of the early [-]th century blurred behind them.

Walk into the European-style building full of Italian style with an elegant posture.

Perhaps the Montenapoleone Avenue at this moment is not as crowded as it is in modern times, with famous cars parked there, and the familiar brand names Armani, Versace, Fendi, and Hermes are here,
But it is now taking shape.

"Is this the Via Napoleon? The busiest shopping street in Milan?"

Fangran looked left and right, and felt that it was not as luxurious and grand as he imagined, but it seemed that the style and temperament seemed very high, and it was true that he did not see those ordinary dressed figures on this street.
Hearing what he said, Ling turned her head to confirm with Sharon who came with them, then nodded to Fangran with her delicate face and said:
"Sharon said it was here."

"Yes, it's a little simpler than I thought,"

She smiled, and then Fangran blinked, trying to impress her with her liveliness. Ling, who was always expressionless when she was a child:
"Ling, do you think so?"

But unfortunately failed.

Speaking of which, my lord queen, why were you so introverted when you were a child, you have grown a face that makes people want to pinch for nothing
Fangran muttered in his heart and was a little distracted, then subconsciously stretched out his hand to the girl's face in front of him,

There was a voice in my head that wanted to do this a long time ago.
hey i pinch~
"woo"

The girl who was startled suddenly made a startled sound like a small animal with her eyes wide open, closed her eyes subconsciously, and then slowly tried to open them,
Instantly penetrated the heart of the old father Fangran
Awei is on top, hehehe, so soft
It felt like holding a piece of white pudding, Fangran blinked blankly, and looked at Ling who had calmed down from the panic at the beginning, and opened her light golden pupils to look at him like a small animal.

Amount (cute bleeding). It is said that it will be replaced by the future Queen,

If you did that, you'd be beaten to death.
"Ahem. Ling, is there anything you want, or a place you want to go?"

Looking at the girl who was standing honestly on the spot and being pinched by himself, he suddenly felt guilty. Fangran coughed to cover up, then turned around and asked, pretending he hadn't done anything:
"Sharon, do you know anything?"

The light golden pupil glanced at the young man who was pretending to be coughing, and even forgot that Sharon couldn't understand what he said, Ling who wondered why he suddenly pinched her face,

Turning around for him, he asked Sharon if she knew anything.

"I know that the lady I used to work for always mentioned that there is a shop that sells skirts and jewelry. It is very famous in the circle, and it seems to be right in front."

After getting the information from the reliable head maid, Fangran looked at Ling and said with a smile:
"Then let's go, Ling, what do you think of the bracelet? Uh, by the way, are there such things as bracelets in Italy?"

Take a short walk along the street of European-style buildings hidden in classical beauty, and push open the door with wooden handles inlaid with gold.
In the elegant and luxurious European-style hall, the golden sunlight from the glass windows with white sills spills into the room, and shines on the complicated court-style dresses supported by human hangers.
From the tailoring materials of the dress, to the exquisite makeup and hair, to the headwear, earrings, fans and other accessories suitable for different characters, lace, silk, veil, bustle,
Every product with multiple elements has an aesthetic feeling that matches a certain personality and age, and is placed in this store.

The moment they entered the door, several people saw a female sculpture made of glass placed on the front of the door, which was placed in the most conspicuous place of the hall like a work of art.
You can feel the show off of the owner.

It's just that when the door was pushed open, everyone in the shop subconsciously looked over, and when they saw a very young man, they all frowned in displeasure.

"Sir, sir, please wait!"

The waiter at the door caught up with Fangran's footsteps, surprised for a second by his foreigner's appearance, and then said with a little hesitation:
"I'm sorry, young sir, our place is not open to guests like you, let alone Countess Loomis has come today."

The implication is that young men without noble status must not be able to enter the subtext. Fangran didn't understand at all, but he could tell from the other party's expression,
It seems that I am not welcome here.

He planned to ask Ling what exactly he said. If there were any normal and reasonable rules, Fangran didn't intend to embarrass the other party, so he just changed.

But right now!

"Oh honey, what did I see?!"

An exclamation female voice came from diagonally above, and all the people in the hall raised their eyes, and on the spiral carpeted stairs,

Fangran saw a graceful woman with a few maids behind her, carrying a beige court skirt, thumping down the stairs, then locked her eyes on Fangran's side,
Ling was wearing a black and white gothic dress with long sleeves tied to her hands.

"What a beautiful girl and dress!"

"Mrs. Loomis, you are not upstairs admiring."

There was no need for the waiter to speak, a man who was standing behind the counter wearing gold-rimmed glasses, probably a manager-like man, greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Little girl, you have a beautiful dress. Where did it come from? Who designed it?"

Completely ignoring the man's words, Countess Loomis only stared at Ling's long skirt, feeling that the girl in front of her was wearing a black long skirt decorated with white lace,
And the long sleeves with lace, it is simply a work of art!

No one knows what a favorite dress means to a woman like Countess Loomis in this era. She asked directly in a short and hasty manner,
Ling was so scared that she didn't know how to answer, so she hid half of her body behind Fang.

Fangran stretched out his hand to block her, preventing the countess from further contact and asking questions, frowning slightly,
Then I realized that I shouldn't be asking a little girl like that. Mrs. Loomis recognized her guardian, looked at Fangran, and raised her eyebrows slightly in surprise and said:
"I don't seem to have seen your face as a foreigner? Oh, no wonder it feels so strange."

Opening the fan with feathers, the Countess opened her mouth with a smile, and her eyes were already slightly smiling.

The circle is such a big thing. On a certain level, there are basically a lot of people you can know.

In Milan's upper-class aristocratic circle, no one knew this better than a lady like her, so she didn't need to recognize Fangran's identity as a foreigner at a glance, but she knew that the young man in front of her was not a nobleman.

And this is a store that only nobles have the confidence to come to.

"But it doesn't matter, sir from abroad, listen, I have a good suggestion,"

Wearing a beige skirt that was almost dragging to the ground, Mrs. Loomis obviously just said it with a smile, but her superior tone still came out from her mouth, which was more like a request from the countess than a suggestion.

"Sell me the dress she's wearing, 100 no, 200 silver coins, and I'll keep this shop open to you forever, how about it? Good deal, isn't it?"

Fangran glanced at her, and then decided to comfort Ling first and tell her not to be afraid, squatted down and blinked at the girl lightly, smiled and said with a lively tone:
"Don't worry, it's okay, it doesn't matter."

Looking at the countess wearing a court dress, Ling was a little uneasy, looked at Fangran and nodded slightly.

After about a minute, Fangran understood the general situation from Sharon's sentence-by-sentence translation and He Ling's translation.
Then he smiled.

Not angry, not insulted,
Just looking at the Countess in the hall with a confident smile, and the supervisor who looked embarrassed but obviously hoped to compromise here,
There are also many aristocrats in the upper class around here who are watching this side,
Fangran suddenly felt a sense of absurdity that he couldn't care about.

"200 lire silver coins, this store is always open to me?"

Regardless of whether anyone could understand, Fangran repeated the conditions offered by the countess in front of him,

The changed state of mind surged with the urge to do something he never thought of doing in the simplest and most rude way,
Since that night the capital rushed out to admit the power that spoke in his ear,
It's like what Veronica once whispered to him seductively:
'Freedom, money, power, status, fame are all yours, so whatever you want is fine.'

'How about being more honest about your desires, Fangran? '

Then he took out a notebook, and Sharon behind him watched this incredible scene with wide eyes.

Because compared to writing down the translation given by Yewang, he suddenly thought of a more convenient method, a method worth a piece of gold.

Frowning slightly displeased, Mrs. Loomis was very dissatisfied with Fangran talking in a language she didn't understand. In her opinion, this was a very rude act.

But just when she was about to say something, everyone saw the young man who was not in the circle of Milanese aristocrats at all,
Facing the embarrassing supervisor who couldn't stop looking at him, hoping that he wouldn't cause trouble and agreed so honestly, he threw a blank card.

The supervisor caught the card in a little panic, and then saw that it was written in cursive letters that didn't look like pens:

'call your master out'

"Sir, I'm sorry, I can't meet your request, and with all due respect, you can't make trouble here"

In fact, he despises the other party in his heart. The supervisor who doesn't understand the atmosphere very badly, didn't move his footsteps, and was very 'polite' with a cold smile on his face, just about to say something,
Then he saw the young man on the opposite side smiled as expected,
Immediately afterwards, at the moment when everyone's eyes were dazed, he threw out the thing in his hand without warning, and smashed it at the most conspicuous glass sculpture in the hall!
Bang—crash! ! ! !

"what!!!"

Those extravagant glass shards were brought up in the dull crashing sound, and the crackling sound made the noble women in the whole hall scream piercingly!

"Oh! No! My God, what have you done, you rude lunatic!"

In great astonishment, the supervisor ran over like crazy,

Seeing that the most luxurious and proud glass statues in this shop turned into a pile of rubbish, he tried to recover with helpless hands, and shouted at Fangran's hoarse collapse!
Mrs. Loomis also stepped aside in horror, stepped back incomprehensibly, looked at the figure standing at the door, and shouted in a shrill voice:

"Are you crazy? Do you know what you're doing!?"

Kneeling on the carpet, contrary to the action of carefully protecting the rest of the handicraft, the supervisor shouted at Fangran emotionally:

"Police! I want the police to arrest you! Arrest you lunatic! You are a crime, you smashed it, you are...!"

The angry roar stopped abruptly, and the supervisor who was kneeling on the ground suddenly fell silent, because he opened his eyes wide and found the 'weapon' that smashed this admirable handicraft.
It is a piece of bright yellow metal that is bigger than his fist and symbolizes supreme wealth!
He was dumbfounded as if he had lost his breath, and suddenly he seemed to be slapped in the face by someone,

He suddenly raised his head and stammered and looked at the figure at the door in disbelief. On the other side, the eyes of Countess Loomis were stunned and obsessed.
At this moment, the other people in the hall also had the same dumbfounded expressions as them, and some of them hadn't even realized what happened.

The young man at the door was throwing a piece of gold up and down with his right hand like a stone, and he was chuckling softly,

Not where we can come, 200 lire silver coins, always open to me.?

Fangran glanced at the countess, then looked down at the supervisor not far away, and spoke plain words that were completely incomprehensible but did not hinder understanding of his intentions.

"Can you help me call out the owner of this shop now?"

　In the morning, I suddenly saw that Notre Dame de Paris was published. I thought I was stunned. I thought I didn’t remember the last one in the book, and then I saw the news. It was really Notre Dame de Paris. The famous book recommended by the teacher was Notre Dame de Paris. Although I didn’t read the translation of the large paragraphs describing its scenes carefully, but I didn’t know much about foreign countries at the time. The few foreign places of interest that I knew were Notre Dame de Paris. I really didn't expect it to catch fire when I was in college. It's really sad and regrettable. The 800-year-old human heritage survived World War I and World War II, and it was gone in peacetime. Alas, And I will be in the second grade tomorrow, and I will be on the plane the day after tomorrow, so don’t expect stability in the update these days, I don’t want to tear down the [-] words today
