Let me tell you, are you crazy because you are poor, or are you treating me like a fat pig? Rosen felt unhappy.
Although England abolished the gold standard after the outbreak of World War I, stopped the circulation of gold coins, and canceled the exchange between pounds and gold coins, the pound sterling is still quite strong.
One pound at this time could buy 180 kilograms of flour or 360 eggs.
If gold is used as the equivalent, one pound at this time is probably equivalent to one thousand two hundred U.S. dollars in later generations.
From this we can roughly deduce how powerful the purchasing power of five hundred pounds is.
Not to mention that Rosen doesn’t have that much money on him right now. Even if he did, he wouldn’t want to be taken advantage of.
But he liked it very much, so he immediately activated the skill given by Lao Baoban: Bargaining lv3, and started to fight with the clerk.
"This is a rare antique from ancient Egypt. It is rarely seen except here..." The clerk became more and more confused as he slashed at it, but with his remaining sobriety, he wanted to lift it again. Raise the price.
"Don't tell me anything about ancient Egypt. Even if the Pharaoh comes, it will be useless. What we are talking about now is just the stick I plan to use to open the toilet..." Rosen gushed. road.
......
The final result was that Rosen paid ten pounds to acquire these three short spears, which were about one and a half meters long.
"Rosen, you are so awesome! I actually bought it from you!"
Diana had seen this before on Paradise Island, and she looked at it with surprise and admiration. Rosen, with sincere admiration on his face, said: "So you can still buy things like this?"
"Stop talking and come with me." Rosen grabbed her hand and walked out quickly. I walked into the antique shop and left in a hurry.
"What's wrong?" Diana asked curiously as she followed him quickly.
"When the clerk wakes up, he will definitely default on the bill. Run, run!" Rosen said with a smile.
Diana smiled upon hearing this and ran quickly after him.
Not long after they left, an angry and miserable roar came from the antique shop.
"Damn it! Did I meet the devil?! Why would I sell it to him so cheaply! Oh my God! My ancient Egyptian antiques!!"
...
Of course Rosen didn’t know what happened after he left. After wandering around for a while, he took Diana to the agreed place to meet Steve.
Steve, who was in the intelligence agency, obviously had a lot of energy, and he helped Rosen and Diana figure out their identities in just two hours.
So Rosen transformed into an English battlefield inspector, and Diana became his secretary.
Of course the so-called battlefield inspectors have no rights, but they can legitimately wander around the front line, which is in line with Diana's wishes.Plan to find Ares.
"If you need it, I can actually go with you." Steve said.
"No need." Rosen shook his head and said: "The dangers of the battle we need to deal with are far greater than you imagine. Only the two of us can barely protect ourselves. If you are added to it, we will really be unable to take care of it. "
Steve heard what was said and immediately gave up the idea of going with him. He took a backpack and gave it to Rosen: "There is a map and a compass in it. , and some water and food, which should be useful to you."
"Thank you." Rosen took the backpack and said, "If there is nothing else, we will leave."
"Rosen, I know I can't stop you, but I have a small suggestion. If you don't have a clear destination yet, you might as well go to Belgium first, find the place where Ludendorff made the poison gas, and destroy it. "
Steve looked at Rosen and said: "Although this may not end this damn war, it can at least save the soldiers on the front line from being poisoned."
"Okay." Rosen nodded in agreement.
"Thank you." Steve said gratefully.
After Rosen took out a map and asked him about the specific route, he waved goodbye to him, took Diana back to the dock, and sailed the sailboat straight to Belgium on the other side.
With the proficiency gained on the way back, Rosen's basic driving has been upgraded to lv2. In addition to being able to drive various means of transportation skillfully, he can also get an additional 10% speed bonus.
At this time, he was driving a small sailboat on the sea, even surpassing many ships, causing the passengers on the passing ships to scream in surprise.
Before night fell, the two men had already landed in Belgium. After carrying their belongings, they rushed towards the front line where soldiers from the Allied Powers and the Central Powers faced off.
Without Steve accompanying him and the helpers he found in the original plot, the path Rosen and Diana will take next is naturally very different from the original plot.
Although there was no advanced navigation available in this era, with the map guidance given by Steve, Rosen did not worry about getting lost.
Before night, the two found a village.
Unfortunately, most of the houses have been reduced to ruins. Rosen walked around without finding a single living person, but he saw many corpses with terrible looks. Judging from their clothes, they are all villagers.
"It's so cruel, the murderer really deserves to die." Diana said indignantly.
"The blood stains have not completely solidified. These people should have died not long ago. The murderers probably haven't left for long. If we are lucky, we can still catch up with them." Rosen looked down at the ground. Bloodstain said.
"But who knows where the murderer has gone?" Diana looked around blankly and said, "You can't just pick a direction and try your luck, right?"
"I can Find them." RosenHe looked at Diana and said, "You just need to believe me."
"Of course I believe you." Diana smiled.
"Then let's go." Rosen said and stepped into the night, snapping his fingers at the same time, and LV3's internal vision was activated.
Uh-huh.
The colorful rays of light visible only to Rosen fell all around, instantly covering the area within a radius of 250 meters.
The next moment, the scene in front of Rosen changed.
The darkness shrouding the world seems to have dissipated a little, and the dense, layered, and disorganized traces on the ground are also rapidly decreasing, and in the end only the unique imprints of seven pairs of military boots remain.
Looking at these shoe prints, Rosen seemed to be able to clearly see how their owners came and where they went. Nothing could escape his eyes.
Inner vision, as a unique skill of Amazon, is not only used to illuminate and mark enemies to make them more conspicuous, but also the clues they leave behind will be marked to facilitate pursuit.
After walking along the winding road for about ten miles in the night, Rosen stopped on a low hill.
