Chapter 301: The Broker
In the evening, Boseman knocked on Merlin's door, looked around the door, and asked with a smile, "You drove them up too?"
"I'm afraid that if I continue to be served by them, I won't even be able to eat. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Mei Lin smiled, at the beginning of that kind of service, I enjoyed it a little, but after a long time, I felt uncomfortable, like ...... It's like transforming into a mollusk.
"Hehe, that was the supreme enjoyment of the grassland nobles back then. It is said that under this set of one-stop services, a lot of fat people were born, or if it weren't for the war back then, they would have lost so quickly. Boseman said.
"If the strength is not good, the strength is not good, what does it have to do with fat and thin. When are we leaving?" asked Merlene.
"There's no hurry. You have to find a guide first. Boseman said.
"Looking for a guide?" Merlin was a little surprised, "Don't you know that place?"
"Rodern, I just got a general idea of the situation on the grassland here, and then we went back to the Midis continent to gather people. Poseiman explained.
"Lord Poseiman, the man you are looking for is here. An innkeeper greeted him outside the door.
"Bring him here. ”
Boseman commanded, then turned to look at Merlin: "Merlin's workload, don't you mind borrowing your living room for the time being?"
"Of course not. Merlin smiled and motioned for him to excuse herself.
Merlin estimated that she didn't know anything in Poseiman's house and didn't want anyone to see it, so she went to her to borrow a place to use it...... On the other hand, I'm afraid there is also a bit of a show of goodwill.
"Honorable Wizard,"
The steppe man standing in front of the two of them had a flattering look on his face, which made Merlin wonder if he was a steppe man, "This is the best and most detailed map of the grassland......"
The person in front of him was one of the most famous brokers in Orodore City, and his customers were all rich people who had just arrived here, so as soon as Merlin and the others arrived, he had already received the news.
It was a detailed map of the Rondol steppes, and there was no comparison with the maps published on the market, and many of the places marked on this map could not be seen on the public map. The map was on the table at the moment, but a map didn't interest the wizards, what she really cared about was that the broker named Rahor could find them a guide who knew the terrain.
"What kind of guide do you want?" asked Rahol, in a shrill voice.
"What are the options? "I don't care about money." ”
Hearing this, Rahol's face was full of smiles, and he was very satisfied to meet such a generous patron.
In order to get more commissions, Rahol hurriedly said: "Speaking of being familiar with the place, there are so many kinds of people, one is the traveling merchants, most of them are originally grassland people, and the business is done in remote places that the caravan will not go.
"These people not only know the road, but also know where it is safe and where it is dangerous along the way, you know, usually they always have to carry dozens of kilograms of goods, drive donkeys or pack horses carrying stacks of goods, walk dozens of kilometers every day, and guard against predators and bandits along the way.
"The second type is the hunter, who knows more and is more familiar with the terrain than the foot-wanderer, and can also be used as a bodyguard, in the mountains, one hunter is more useful than five swordsmen. The last one is the robber ......"
"Robbers, can they be hired too?" Merlin asked in surprise.
"Of course, as long as you can get money, it doesn't matter what you do, there are many advantages to using robbers as guides, first of all, after hiring robbers, you don't need to do everything possible to avoid other bandit groups, there is a connection between robbers and robbers, as long as you hire one of the bandit groups as a guide, most of the other bandit groups will give a face.
The second is that robbers are also the best bodyguards, and it is not fatal to be a robber, and if you can survive the bandit group, you have two hits under your hands. ”
"Don't just talk about the good and not mention the bad. Mei Lin said lightly, her experience is not ordinary now, and it is a dream to play language games in front of her.
"Yes, yes, yes. ”
Rahol nodded again and again and said: "The foot-traveling merchants are either speculators from other regions or we steppe people, to be honest, we can't fully believe it, not to mention that this is a place where you can sell anything for money, and many adventurers who hire foot-traveling merchants are finally introduced into the robbers' den."
Hunters are much more trustworthy than Wanderers, and they will never betray their employers, but most Hunters will not have a good opinion of wizards. Therefore, although they will not betray you, they will not help you when it is dangerous, and nine times out of ten they will hide to the side and stand by, as for the bandits, as long as they give enough money, you can fight whoever you want. But robbers are robbers after all, and if you are too shabby to give you enough money, they may ignore you at all, but if you appear too rich, they may see the riches again.
In addition, the use of robbers as bodyguards also has to guard against the federal army, as long as there is a bandit in the team, the federal army will assume that everyone is related to the bandits......"
"So ruthless?" Poseman frowned slightly.
"It's also a form of blackmail, and there's a lot of that kind of thing. Every year, there are at least a few thousand people who are falsely accused of robbers for this, and each person is required to pay a fine of 500 to 1,000 gold coins, and if they fail to pay the fine, they will be hanged as robbers after ten months. Lahore said.
Merlin rolled her eyes upward, she had long heard that the prairie was a barbaric land without the rule of law, and she did not expect that the situation would be worse than she imagined.
"If robbers can be hired, can they hire others?" asked Merlene.
"As long as you can afford it, you can do it if you want to hire a Federation Master. Lahol swore by it.
Merlin didn't take it seriously, but Poseman was genuinely moved.
There is no shortage of wizards in his team, and he also hires mercenaries, but it is better to prepare more creatures like cannon fodder...... Money is nothing, time is the most important thing, and if you can save time on the road, it is worth paying a part of the gold coins.
"I want to form a mercenary army, can I do that?" asked Poseman .
"No problem, just a word, I will help you find the best mercenary on the steppe at once. Rahor said, patting his chest.
I am confident that I will *********** hit the water for 3,000 miles in 200 years***********
