When you speak, you have to have truth and falsehood, and it is true to inquire about the movements of the underground race and buy food. However, the former is to comprehensively assess the possibility of the underground race starting a war in recent years, while the latter is to deal with the refugees who are about to enter the Cordillera territory, and it is this kind of false and real statement that makes the old innkeeper in front of him believe the truth.

"The two adults have a very clever idea, the underground race is very thirsty for surface materials, if you use these materials to open the way, you have a great chance of success. However, if there is no one who is familiar with the market involved, it may be very difficult for the two to buy grain at the right price. The shopkeeper said bluntly.

"Why? Can't I buy food with real money? "Leonardo. Beirut asked, somewhat surprised.

"You don't know. In the city of Vannar, there is a huge refugee camp not far away, so the control of the sale of grain is very strict. All the grain is in the hands of a few people, there is no way to store any private transactions, every transaction is clear to someone, and because of this, no one can buy all the goods, this is the rule of the game here. You are outsiders, if you don't open the way, no one will sell you anything, to put it more clearly, even if you have great powers and get food, I am afraid that as soon as you enter the dark region, you will be robbed by the underground race. The shopkeeper whispered.

Leonardo. Beirut frowned appropriately: "I still know some of the rules of this kind of private game, but those people are for the so-called rules." Isn't it too much to get in touch with the underground race? ”

"No, no, the most important thing for a merchant is a clean reputation, and if there is some abnormal connection with the underground race, I am afraid that it will be notorious in the entire business circle. But no one can stop the leak of information, right? The shopkeeper smiled slyly.

That's really the case.

The so-called lack of success and more than failure is probably what it means. Hathaway and Leonardo. Beirut looked at each other, both helpless.

"You can see it. Your Excellency also has a lot of energy in this city. You should know who we are. If we can succeed this time, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely reward him heavily, and if Your Excellency can play a helping role in it, I believe that the scenery at that time will be the envy of everyone. Hathaway said in a seductive tone. She cast a little bit of psychic magic. Guide the shopkeeper.

I watched the shopkeeper fall into deep thought. Next to Leonardo. Beirut was convinced at the moment, and he finally knew that it was not a fluke that Hathaway could call the wind and rain as soon as he arrived in Cordillela.

Leonardo. Beirut can't help but think of the Bell family in Vermont City...... That's a family of idiots. Abandoned such a good child?!

"Well, what do you want to know? As you have just said, I can tell you how much profit you can make and how much you can trade, much the same as what you can give me at the moment, and I will not risk being silenced by others and reveal too much. The shopkeeper said.

"It's up to you to determine the chips, and you can say what you can say, anyway, we just need to get a general idea of what is going on at the moment." Leonardo. Beirut said indifferently. Now that he had figured out what Hathaway meant, he would naturally cooperate.

"Okay, so that the cooperation can hopefully succeed."

The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Those underground races have several agents in the neighboring cities, but not all of the looters are underground races; Not all robberies are for money, either.

In the previous years, the underground races had taken military strikes against the Alpine Kingdom, which was the reason for the dismantling of each other between the royal families, and the purpose of this was only for the sake of succession to the throne. But the initiator of the conspiracy did not expect that the shape would be so bad, and in the end, the leader lost control and was out of control...... However, you don't need to worry about your goods, as long as you can buy goods such as flour and bacon, you will be able to easily get rid of them when you bring them to the dark regions. ”

Neither Leonardo. Beirut, or Hathaway, remained silent. Although the shopkeeper told some secrets that they didn't know, it didn't have much reference value for them now...... At least not far from what they expected.

The two men glanced at each other, Leonardo. Beirut said: "These things are of little value, you have to tell us at least one thing, those underground races are really that powerful?" How could the army of the Alpine Kingdom be routed so quickly? ”

"This question seems a bit out of the picture." The shopkeeper said immediately.

"High profits often come from a certain risk, you can control the risk, but if you don't invest at all, how can you talk about high profits."

Hathaway smiled slightly and said, "I'll tell you one more thing, if your news does have its actual value, His Majesty the Emperor will be interested in knowing." ”

Hathaway's words obviously completely frightened the shopkeeper, he thought for a moment, nodded and said, "You should know that a large part of the troops of the Alpine Kingdom are mercenaries. Although those officers did not dare to restrain the regular soldiers, they did not have so many scruples about mercenaries. About sixty percent of the soldiers in all units are mercenaries, and when they fight, they rely on temporary recruitment of mercenaries to make up the number. And in the time of war, as long as someone pays those mercenaries enough money, then it is not surprising that anything happens on the battlefield. ”

At this point, the shopkeeper thought for a moment, then closed his mouth, and it was evident that in his opinion, he had paid enough price.

Hathaway and Leonardo. Beirut also knows that it is obviously impossible to get more if the shopkeeper cannot see more tangible benefits.

"I'll go and inform Your Majesty immediately." Leonardo. Beirut said, standing up.

When Hathaway first came to Vannal, he thought it was just for the refugee issue. As a result, Hathaway had no contact with the camp at all, and looked like she was not doing her job properly, and only now did she fully understand what she was going to do. He personally reported this matter to Fivinlie XVIII, and most of the credit was naturally received by him, which was also Hathaway's kindness.

When he left, the shopkeeper immediately asked, "Am I waiting for an exact response?" Or will I be able to buy you food right away? ”

"First of all, I want to know the specific rules of the game, such as what kind of role do you actually play in it, and how much can you get paid for matchmaking? How many lines do we have to ride? How much do we have to pay for this? Hathaway asked a flurry of questions.

The shopkeeper thought for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "For ordinary customers, there are some problems that I shouldn't have said, but since the real interests are not here, I am willing to give them all." People like me are everywhere in this city, and we are both the brokers and the eyes and ears of those people. Generally speaking, the remuneration that we people get is 2 to 5 percent of the total transaction price, especially for large transactions, and if I meet those people who are happy, maybe I can get a small cut from it.

As for how many lines to take...... At least three to five lines for the quantity you ask to buy. However, if you don't say hello to everyone, I'm afraid that someone will make trouble from it, after all, everyone does this business, and pays attention to a balance of interests.

The larger the transaction, the more cost-effective, and the big businessmen will give them the reward they want, and the big customers can choose the most suitable collaborator for him. Of course, you can also bargain with those people face to face before making a decision, but there is one thing that is best not to do it, and that is to lie to them that the other company is bidding less, because the price is recognized, and the fluctuation will not be very large, and your words will only be exposed as a lie, thus losing your integrity, and don't want to make a business here. ”

The night was very hot, but Hathaway's room was unusually comfortable, she had just finished taking a shower, and when she came out of the bathroom, several middle-aged women came up to remove the bucket of bath water, which had been warm.

"Hathaway, you've already built all the fourth-level spells, don't you want to build a fifth-level spell model?" The veteran's voice suddenly rang out.

"No, I'm going to familiarize myself with the three fourth-level spells that I just established. Still, I don't mind if you teach me a few more tricks. What do you think? Hathaway asked deliberately.

"Well, I don't recommend that you learn other spells or magic skills, step by step." The veteran paused, and his confidence was a little lacking.

During this time, Hathaway was not idle, after the space was promoted, she successively built three spell models: 'Firestorm', which is a fire spell appearance, very violent, and the dark dragon spear, which uses dark elements to condense into a dragon spear about three meters long, has a strong penetrating and corrosive effect, which can be called a weapon for breaking defenses; Vigorous, it's a flying spell. As a fourth-level archmage, she can already practice flying spells. However, this spell is different from ordinary spells, not only does it fly extremely fast, but it also has a fairly strong defense, which makes the veteran who has always regarded himself as a teacher a little disappointed, and the strength is that Hathaway's creativity is too active.

"You can rest assured that although personal force is important, the development of the territory is always the focus. In addition to being concerned about the proper resettlement of those refugees, I am now wondering when those underground races will start a war. It would be nice if I had time to take a look. Hathaway said with some trepidation, feeling that she was running out of time right now. (To be continued......)
