Chapter 528: There Will Be Brave Men Under Heavy Rewards
In the corner of the tavern were two black-brown wine tables, surrounded by a dozen Seles.
Most of these Seles people were burly and strong, armed with bows and swords, and they all had huge leather bags beside them, and when Zuo Yi came over, they were drinking wine and eating meat, chatting noisily.
Although Zuo Yi didn't understand the language spoken by these sturdy men, it could be seen from all indications that the other party should be a foot businessman.
Foot merchants have different names in different planes, such as traveling merchants, traveling merchants, foot merchants, etc., but no matter which plane the merchants are not weak, they have a certain amount of force.
Because they are very small, or in groups of three or five or single-handedly, they travel hundreds or thousands of miles, deep into the backwoods and frontiers, and risk being plundered by bandits and wild beasts, earning a hard-earned money that licks the blood with knives and knives.
Weak chickens will never be able to do this job, many people often confuse traders and adventurers, in fact, the identities of the two are interchangeable, when Zuo Yi was in the world of Sadeya, he also used to do businessmen who bought low and sold high.
Although the strength of the merchants may not be too strong, they have rich experience in traveling from south to north and are very well-informed.
"Hello. ”
Zuo Yi's greeting made all the Seles merchants stop laughing, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at him in unison.
Doubtful, curious, vigilant, dignified......
A middle-aged man with a weathered face stood up and asked without humility or arrogance, "Is there anything wrong with Your Excellency?"
His Chinese is not very standard, but he is quite proficient.
Language proficiency is a standard skill for traders.
The middle-aged Seles businessman's words were polite and cautious.
Although the Dragon City Fortress is nominally the territory of the Kingdom of Celes, the people of Celes who live here know that the city belongs to the people of Great Xia.
No Celestian would dare to provoke a Great Xia person easily, because all the Great Xia people are professionals, with extraordinary strength, and the one who controls the Dragon City Fortress is still a town-level powerhouse!
In the entire Seles Kingdom, there are only three powerhouses in the town.
Of course, the merchant leader didn't think he needed to grovel to Zuo Yi, because he was also a professional.
It's just that no matter whether the other party is arrogant or servile, it doesn't matter to Zuo Yi, he asked with a smile, "I want to ask, which of you has been to Winterfell?"
"Winterfell?"
The middle-aged man was stunned and hesitated for a moment before replying, "I went there once ten years ago. ”
"Good. ”
Zuo Yi nodded and said, "I want to hire you to take me to Winterfell, how much does it cost?"
"You want to go to Winterfell?"
The middle-aged man was taken aback: "It will take at least three months to get from here to Winterfell, and it will have to be smooth all the way. ”
After a pause, he shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, I'm sorry, I'm afraid my partners and I won't be able to help you with this, because we will leave the Dragon City Fortress tomorrow, you..."
His voice suddenly jammed in his throat.
Because at this time, Zuo Yi handed a gold brick in front of him: "This is your reward." ”
Although the middle-aged man didn't see clearly how Zuo Yi "transformed" into a gold brick at all, this did not prevent his will from being crushed by this piece of metal that shone with a charming light in an instant.
As an outstanding businessman, he could judge at a glance that the gold bricks in Zuo Yi's hand could be exchanged for at least three thousand Celes General Gold Coins in the bank of Dragon City Fortress!
Three thousand gold!
Middle-aged men come and go in the wind and rain, risking their lives to run around, and they may not be able to save so much money for ten years, how can they not be tempted?
With this money, he doesn't need to be a businessman anymore, he retires directly to his hometown, buys a farm to ask for a mother-in-law and a few more children, and lives comfortably in the future.
In fact, the companions behind the middle-aged man were also dumbfounded.
Someone muttered, "It can't be fake, right?"
The middle-aged man couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and asked cautiously, "Your Excellency, how many people do you need?"
Three thousand gold coins were enough to hire a large mercenary group, and he finally didn't get carried away by the heavy money and thought of the risk.
No matter how much money you have, you have to have a life to get it!
"You're enough. ”
Zuo Yi saw through the other party's thoughts at a glance and said, "You only need to lead the way, you don't need to protect me." ”
He held the gold brick in his hand, kneaded a golden ball in three or two times like kneading dough, and handed it to the other party.
The middle-aged man couldn't help but gasp.
He can also knead the gold bricks into golden balls, but he definitely can't do it to the extent of Zuo Yi.
The gold ball handed over by Zuo Yi is round and the surface is smooth and flawless, which can only be achieved by repeated grinding and polishing under normal circumstances.
Zuo Yi rubbed it out directly.
Zuo Yi's image immediately became tall and mysterious in his eyes.
The middle-aged man didn't hesitate any longer, took the golden ball and said, "I took this task!"
If there is no gold, even if Zuo Yi says it no matter how fanciful he is, he will only be suspicious and dare not agree easily, and now Zuo Yi is paying the honorarium first, so why would he not dare?
To put it mildly, he is not worth three thousand gold coins.
"Good. ”
Zuo Yi has no accident, there must be brave men under the so-called heavy reward, and there are too many people who can be knocked down by 10Kg of gold.
"Prepare yourself, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning. ”
Zuo Yi was originally going to ask Fan Hailiu for a map when he arrived at the Dragon City Fortress, and then flew to Winter City himself.
As a result, Van Hailiu went to Seles to frustrate his plans, so he simply found a guide.
Now he plans to fly to Winterfell with this guide, although the extra burden will definitely slow down a lot, but it will not be much time.
"Okay. ”
The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "I live upstairs, and I'll wait for you here tomorrow morning." ”
The four upper floors of the Bronze Dragon Tavern are all hotel rooms, and most of the guests staying there are merchants like them.
"That's right, sir. ”
He added: "My name is Bonn. ”
He felt quite weird just thinking about it, Zuo Yi didn't even ask his name, and gave him so much money directly.
I'm not afraid that he will run away.
Of course, it is impossible to run away, Zuo Yi has the bearing of a superior, and if he offends this figure who is likely to be a high-level figure in Great Xia, his fate is unimaginable!
"Bonn. ”
Zuo Yi nodded: "Then we'll see you tomorrow morning." ”
He doesn't plan to stay here as well, as there are better hostels nearby.
Early the next morning, when Zuo Yi came to the Tonglong Tavern again, Bonn was already waiting at the door with his luggage.
"Your Excellency..."
He bowed to Zuo Yi and asked, "Shall we leave now?"
Woo!woo!woo~
Before Zuo Yi could answer, suddenly a low and powerful horn sounded in the fortress!
