Chapter 4 The Beggar Disguise Plan
Chapter 4 The Beggar Disguise Plan
Su Tu knew that, given Rhys's personality, he would definitely not get anything out of her by asking.
He only answered the questions from the Imperial Royal Reconnaissance Team with a few words.
Then let's not even talk about myself.
In any case, he had already achieved his main purpose in entering this magical item shop.
Let's just consider the matter of the Imperial Holy Land as an unexpected bonus.
Even putting all that aside, he still has to go to the Imperial Holy Land to be baptized tomorrow.
It should still be possible to obtain some useful information at that time.
With that in mind, Su Tu decided not to stay there any longer.
After leaving the Future Magic Tool Shop, he embarked on his journey to the royal palace.
After walking a few steps, he could see the royal palace not far away.
The imperial palace was very large and looked very luxurious.
In particular, the enormous castle standing within the city walls can be seen from afar.
"We need to find a relatively secluded location, but also a convenient place to store tickets."
Although Su Tu had visited the palace once.
But at that time, he had only recently transmigrated and his mind was not yet fully clear.
In a daze, they were taken to the holy land of the empire and inexplicably received a "baptism".
It was that "baptism" that enabled him to adapt to the fact of time travel so quickly.
Therefore, he really didn't know which spot on the road to the palace would meet his inner requirements.
About 3 kilometers from the palace, Su Tu noticed that there were more beggars in tattered clothes on the surrounding streets.
If he remembered correctly, this place seemed to be the location of the imperial noble's mansion.
A huge circle surrounds the palace.
This circle is also known as the aristocratic circle.
His family's ducal residence is also located within this area, or even nearby.
But why are there so many beggars in this aristocratic circle?
Su Tu stood still, his gaze sweeping over the beggars, and he began to ponder.
But he soon understood why these beggars had come here.
A little girl, about eight years old and dressed in gorgeous clothes, ran up to a beggar.
After pulling a deposit slip from his pocket and throwing it in front of him, he ran straight back to a wealthy woman's side, accepting the praise with a broad smile.
The beggar's face lit up with joy upon seeing the deposit slip.
He carefully looked around again, cautiously stuffed the deposit ticket into his pocket, and quickly left the place.
Only a broken bowl remained in the spot, signifying that a beggar had once sat there.
"So that's how it is."
Upon seeing this scene, Su Tu immediately understood why those beggars had come here to beg.
Most nobles ignored these beggars and even sent their servants to drive them away.
However, there were still some kind-hearted people among these nobles.
Especially women and children.
As members of noble families, they were naturally not short of money.
By simply taking out a bank deposit slip, one could potentially change the fate of a former beggar and enable them to live a life free from worries about food and clothing.
"Perhaps, this can be used to transfer the deposit ticket from the main body to the avatar."
Su Tu stroked his chin, pondering the feasibility of the plan.
Within the imperial hierarchy, he was regarded as a 'calamity' and was required to undergo 'baptism' at the imperial holy site every year.
But if he suddenly gives a beggar a banknote, it shows the kindness in his heart.
Let's not even talk about completely removing the label of "calamity".
It is still possible to change the minds of some high-ranking officials in the empire.
And most importantly, only he knew about his disguise as a beggar.
The empire would most likely not bother to investigate the origins of a beggar.
Especially now, at this critical time when the map of the Imperial Holy Land has been stolen, we will not waste any extra resources.
There were almost no suspicious points in the whole process.
The only point of contention is that his actions against the beggar were too sudden, which might arouse suspicion among some people.
However, he did have a reason to deal with this point of doubt.
After all, a four-year "baptism" of "calamity" can't be completely ineffective.
"You can give it a try."
Su Tu decided to disguise himself as a beggar to give the original owner a reason to donate banknotes.
All you need to do next is find a set of tattered clothes and transform yourself into a beggar.
Half a day passed, and by evening, his avatar had changed its appearance.
He was wearing tattered clothes that he had found in an abandoned box in the slum.
To make the clothes even more tattered, he even took a knife and slashed them a few times, then threw them on the ground and rolled them around a few times.
Of course, his handsome, jet-black hair also needed some changes.
Pour muddy water down your head, and when your hair dries, it will not only look like a bird's nest, but it will also be covered in mud.
From the outside, he looked no different from any other beggar.
"That's right, this way we can definitely fool everyone."
He stood in front of the reflective window on the street, looking at his reflection in the glass, and nodded in satisfaction.
The first step of the beggar disguise plan has been successfully completed; next, it's time to head to the vicinity of the Duke's mansion.
Ironically, as the second son of an imperial duke, he didn't even know where the duke's residence was.
There are only 5 dukes still in the empire, and their mansions are all located near the royal palace.
Once you can pinpoint the general area, finding the mansion is quite simple.
Su Tu glanced in the direction of the royal palace and castle, then walked along the streets in the evening, searching for his own house.
Along the way, he could clearly feel the disgusted looks from passersby.
But he ignored them all and walked forward in the general direction of the palace.
During the year he traveled through time, he never left the mansion.
But he had felt those disgusted looks countless times, and had long since become immune to them.
When the moon hangs directly overhead and the number of people on the street gradually decreases.
Su Tu stood not far from a luxurious mansion, a faint smile appearing on his slightly disheveled face.
"Luckily, I had left the mansion once before, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to tell which of these five almost identical ducal mansions was mine."
Then, he found a place with relatively high pedestrian traffic during the day on the road from his own residence to the palace.
Begging in densely populated areas aligns with the idea that beggars can gain more benefits.
The more people there are, the greater the probability of finding kind-hearted individuals, and the higher the success rate of implementation.
This would greatly reduce the potential risks exposed to Su Tu's avatar.
Everything is ready; we're just waiting to leave tomorrow.
He sat down against the wall in the spot he had chosen, his gaze fixed on the distant mansion, now only its outline remained.

When Su Tu opened his eyes again, he was in a dimly lit room.
The only source of light was the moonlight that streamed into the room through the windows.
Just then, a gust of evening breeze blew into the room, causing Su Tu to instinctively tighten the white sheet wrapped around her body.
He turned to the side, glanced at the deposit slips on the table in the moonlight, and then gently closed his eyes.
Whether we can complete the incarnation stage depends on our actions tomorrow.
As he pondered, his consciousness gradually faded into darkness.
The even breathing sounds, accompanied by the sound of the wind, gently echoed in the room.
