Gaiden: The Agent of the Machine Country Chapter 8 The Banker Wins

β€œ...... You always say things that people don't understand, for the sake of all the people of the earth, I advise you to stop telling precious information everywhere. ”

The black-haired boy looked unwilling, but this unwilling expression was not aimed at Geralt, but something more important, as if he hated something in the past.

But thanks to this, the identity of the other party has been confirmed, and it is indeed a stranger, a person who has come here from Earth, and in this case, the mission here can be said to be a perfect end.

"I can't do that, I'm sorry. ”

But the promised thing has not been done, and the people who should have gone have not been seen.

What's more, if he leaves like this, the sense of justice in his heart will definitely torture Geralt into hell again.

But what will the person in front of him think about and do?

"After all, your intelligence can sell for a good price. ”

Utter terrible words, but to remind the other person,

The existence of strangers is extremely dangerous, and it is natural to be targeted.

At some point, your own information will become someone else's information.

"I couldn't do it before, until I got an arrow in the knee. ”

"The damage of that arrow is not light, even the queen has been reincarnated. ”

Get dressed, pack your gear, the battery still needs to be charged for 12 hours now, and if you want to face Christina head-on, the owner of this double-sided chip, then you will have to wait at least 12 hours later.

"You're not talking about an arrow, it's a cannon. One arrow is much earlier. ”

"Looks like I lost my words... I wish you the sooner success in finding Her Majesty the Queen, and may your information not be obtained by the Stalkers. ”

Therefore, the most important thing to do now is to prepare for the late-night struggle, and to do this, it is necessary to contact the four major families again, as well as the city's [core intelligence network], if you are lucky, maybe it will be over before the early hours of tomorrow morning, but if you are unlucky......

"Well, then, I'll go ahead and hope that you and I will get everything we want, sir. ”

There is no response, and there is no need to respond, a person like this, who is always extremely intelligent, will receive everything comparable to his talents, no matter what era he is,

Presumably, in this world, he can get everything he wants again.

But when will Geralt get what he wants?

"Yo, isn't this the bounty hunter in black? Your deeds are now known to everyone and everyone is aware of them~"

But what is certain is that the thing that Geralt craves so much cannot be obtained from such a place.

"Today I was in a good mood, and I actually went straight to the tavern to drink. ”

Just a few hundred meters away from Kuyimu's house, there is an ordinary tavern,

The wine is not good, the environment is not good, but there are always people who like to drink here,

There's an atmosphere, they say, one that can't be drunk in other taverns,

"Because Jelosan, are you here, how about it? The second young master of the Kuyimu family has found it. ”

And this atmosphere originates from the [dark box].

"Go to the bar and say, I'm in for a treat today. ”

"Oh, then I'll be respectful and obey, and I'll be extremely grateful first. ”

In the city, there is a core intelligence network independent of the government and composed entirely of private people, selling information, trading money and favors, and collecting usury and protection fees.

It can be said that this organization, called the black box, is on the verge of breaking the law, but it is precisely because of this that they pay extra attention to their credibility, and if they lose their credibility, they will be swallowed up by their former employers and the government the next day.

"But what kind of information do you want this time? Or are you going to ask my sister and me?"

"Don't laugh, I'm here to sell information... Ah, hostess, two beers, a plate of fried potato chips, thank you. ”

Looking around, as if deliberately moving away from the bar, the group of loud and foul drinkers kept their distance from Geralt, as if to avoid hearing what was to be said next,

"All your men?"

"It's all my men, how about it, it's amazing, right?"

On the surface, the woman next to her, who was drinking beer, was just an ordinary down-and-out drunkard, and she could even be called a wanderer if she insisted on what she said, but what this person said was not half false.

"But you're really amazing, there are actually three of the four major families to vouch for you, I thought that a little ghost like you would die in a few days, babble~ As a result, you have now become the hero of this city, come, a cup to the hero!"

"I'm going to tell you when I'm done. ”

Klinston, Enfittor, Ivanova, three of the four families have close ties to the dark box, and it is right to say that if you don't have enough intelligence, you won't be able to sit in this position.

After all, human beings are this kind of existence, pretending to like peace on the surface, but no matter who they are, they succumb to their own desires and try their best to climb up by all means.

"You're really... Say yes upfront, I'm not going to buy unverified information, and even if you tell me smallpox, I won't care. ”

"I'll only tell you the information, and you have to judge whether it's true or not. ”

The woman sitting in front of Geralt is the same existence.

"First, [Christina Auduhain] is Yukawa's mole. ”

But it is such talents that are easy to use, and the more desires and abilities are higher than ordinary people, the more advantageous they are.

"Second, the granary, which is now guarded by the four families, will catch fire tonight due to an attack by someone with the [Blazing Beast: Vrkosade]. ”

The more good at gambling with fate, the more they will be played by the dealer.

"The quid pro quo is that in the event of a fire in the granary, you are to take your men to the place at once, and you only need to get there, and the rest is up to you. ”

So do you want to gamble this time? [Orcidea], without any evidence and no plan, do you want to gamble like a bankrupt gambler?

"Sister, I won't buy unconfirmed information, you know the rules. ”

"Of course I know, that's why I'm giving you this information. ”

β€œ... But you don't have any proof, brother, do you?"

"You can't see that kind of thing yourself. ”

Swallowing the last piece of fried potato, Geralt walked to the door of the bar on his own.

"I said, don't you want this beer?"

Turning to look behind him, both the proprietress of the bar and the wanderer sitting at the bar all looked idle, but the piece of paper with the address was long gone.

"Heh... I'll give you a beer, and hopefully you'll make a decision you won't regret. ”

The result is still to gamble, just like a comedy script that has been written for a long time, it just makes people laugh.

"My life is in my sister's hands, little brother. ”

"I'm looking forward to it, Sister Orcidea. ”

The sun shone back on the pitch-black trench coat as if nothing had happened,

But the invisible vortex has rolled up everything in the city, and neither the commoners nor the nobles can easily get out,

"Are you done?"

"After talking, the eldest young master of the Kuyimu family, now that you have found your younger brother, what do you need?"

The voice sounded from behind him, like a young man who had just stepped into the gambling game, with the confidence that was born out of nowhere, dreaming of winning everything, and ending up ......

β€œ... I'm going to take a gamble on you, and I won't be disappointed, will I?"

"yes, it seems that sentence was never wrongβ€”"
