Chapter 2 Self-rescue
John had no mood to discuss with the maid.
He kept looking at the goods in the supermarket in his mind.
Fresh food section.
Fruit section.
Gunpowder area.
Everything was in it.
John even saw several small homes used sun power generation.
"Why do I think of supermarket in my brain?"
John felt a little strange.
But he didn't want to think about anything that he couldn't figure out.
He was thinking whether he could take these things out?
For example, the very thick golden necklace in the jewelry area.
As soon as he finished thinking, John felt his hand sank. He lowered his head and saw a golden necklace in his hand!
It was the one he had seen just now!
Oh my god!
"Yes!"! "Yes!"!
John was so happy at this moment.
He didn't expect that his supermarket would be here with him.
He hurriedly looked at the jewelry area of the supermarket, only to find that the thick golden necklace was gone.
The maids and the knight were so anxious that they didn't notice the golden necklace in John's hand at the first time.
John took the big golden necklace and asked, "How much is this golden necklace worth?"
The knight and the maid were stunned. They didn't notice the golden necklace in John's hand just now.
The knight looked at it carefully and answered truthfully, "about fifty Zambats."
One hundred and twenty grams of men's gold necklace was worth fifty Zambats?
John was a little disappointed. Unless he took out all the gold, silver and jewelry in the jewelry area, he couldattract the Ottoman Empire's messenger.
He was a little reluctant.
He was wondering if it was another one.
Suddenly, there was a noise outside the door!
Then, a large group of riding knights rushed in with sharp blades in their hands and surrounded John!
The knight in silver armor in the lead rode on his horse and used the long sword pointed at John. "Catch him!"
Immediately, two knights jumped off the horseback and rushed straight in front of John, trying to catch him.
Judging from the situation, John knew that if he resisted, he would be killed by the guard. If he didn't resist, he would be caught and killed as well.
He hurriedly shouted, "Sir, I have something to tell you alone."
The knight in silver armor was first stunned, then he saw the golden necklace in John's hand and thought for a while. He jumped off the horse and waved his hand, "you go out first."
The other royal guards all retreated.
The knight and maid of John's family also obediently entered the castle.
John took a deep breath, walked up to him and said, "Sir, this Cartier gold necklace, the heirloom of our family, is for you."
The eyes of the knight were full of greed. He didn't take it immediately and asked, "Do you want to save you and your father with just one golden necklace?"
John smiled apologetically, "of course not. I just want you to do me a favor, sir."
The knight said, "What favor?"
"Let me meet the Ottoman Empire's messenger." John said.
The knight shook his head.
John felt his heart cold. Was this guy really so honest that he didn't even want a gold necklace worth fifty Zambats gold coins?
What he didn't expect was that the knight opened his mouth widely like a lion and said, "This is not enough. You have to pay more!"
John almost fainted. He thought he could not be saved, but fortunately the knight was not so righteous. "How much do you want?"
The knight stretched out and grabbed the golden necklace. He took it in his hand and weighed it. Then he spread out five fingers and said, "Add more five hundred Zambats!"
Shit!
Is your heart made of ink? It was so dark!
Five hundred Zambats can be earned by ordinary people only after working for fifty years!
But John still agreed without hesitation, "no problem, but five hundred Zambats is not a small amount. I need a few days to sell the assets and then give them to you."
The knight smiled and said, "Deal."
Hearing this, John sighed in relief. At least he could see the emissary of the Ottoman Empire.
He didn't know if he could persuade the messenger.
John was still a little nervous.
At the courier hostel for messenger.
John paid a gold necklace and five hundred Zambats he promised.
After being frisked, John finally saw the messenger of the Ottoman Empire.
The burly man sitting in front of him was the Ottoman Empire's messenger Abbas.
It was said that this person was the major general of the Ottoman Empire. He had killed many enemies on the battlefield, directed many battles, and gained a very glorious battle achievement.
At the age of more than 30, Abbas, who was in his prime, looked at John carefully and said indifferently, "you are the son of Baron Ducasse?"
John nodded, "yes."
There was no expression on Abbas's face. He looked at John and said, "I remember that Constantine said he wanted to sentence you and your father to death. Why are you here?"
It was impolite to call the name of Constantine XI directly.
At the same time, John also felt that the emissary of the Ottoman Empire didn't take Eastern Roman Empire seriously at all.
But he knew it was true. After all, Constantine XI ascended the throne depended on the support of the Ottoman Empire.
Besides, he asked him not to hold him accountable, so he could only compromise.
John said: "General Abbas, there is a saying in the distant kingdom in the East that a bigwig is broad-minded. I believe the bigwig like you must have a great tolerance. Please don't hold my father accountable..."
"Son of a bitch!" Abbas rudely interrupted him and scolded, "Your father dares to challenge the authority of the Ottoman Empire. If he doesn't die, where is the authority of the Ottoman Empire?"
John knew that he had to bow his head under the eaves.
He continued with an apologetic smile, "as long as you don't hold my father accountable, I'm willing to offer a peerless treasure..."
"Bastard!" Abbas interrupted him with the same words again.
Abbas squinting his eyes, and said, "How dare you bribe me? If I take your things and this spread to the Ottoman Empire, how can I still have my prestige?"
John's heart beat faster. This man seems a little unkind.
But at this point, even if he had to die, he could only continue, "don't worry. Only God knows and you and I know;there will never be another..."
Bang!
Abbas thumped the table and took out his long sword. The sword shone coldly. He said fiercely, "your father provoked the Ottoman Empire's authority, and you came to ruin my character. If your emperor doesn't kill you, I'll kill you now!"
As he spoke, he stood up. His height was more than 1.9 meters and his tall figure made him look very oppressive!
John didn't expect that Abbas would be so strong.
Most importantly, he fucking wanted to kill him right now!
It seemed that Abbas was not joking!
John panicked. In the face of the threat of death, no one could be calm. He was an ordinary person in his previous life, how could he not be panicked at all?
"General Abbas, this is in the Rome Empire!" John looked tough on the surface but timid inside.
Abbas approaching step by step, he laughed and said, "so what? If I killed you, how Constantine dare to say anything?"
What the hell!
It seemed to be true!
John felt his life is coming to an end.
As a man without any weapon, he seemed to have no chance of winning in the face of a burly general who had killed countless enemies with sharp blades in his hands.
Huh?
Wait!
Without weapons?
A light flashed in his eyes, and he thought of the supermarket in his mind. Wasn't there a gun in it?
You want to kill me, don't you?
Even if I have to die, I will take you with me!
