No one knows who started the fire, but the crate still stenched sulphur when it was put away.

Red dots wafted in the darkness, and the smell of smoke filled the air.

The guards near the inn are too obvious on the minimap.

Adam had left through the window, and he had jumped along the eaves into the alleyway, now at the edge of the city wall.

The low and dilapidated houses are disorderly, and most of the rancid water that flows nowhere is gathered here, and the land is comparable to a mire.

"The banquet is the day after tomorrow, has anyone recruited you?"

The people walked steadily, they had walked here before, and they were more familiar than they were in their own rooms.

Voices came from all over behind him, clear and crisp.

"There's a warlord who lacks a deputy."

"It's a nobleman looking for me, the guard."

"I'm hiding."

……

The chat lasted for a short time, and everyone joked at night to refresh themselves.

It is meandering, the smell of strange smells jumps into the nose, and all kinds of insects and snakes inhabit damp and dark places, and there are bursts of strange sounds.

There was a slightly awkward sound of footsteps, and Adam looked sideways.

A note appears in the shadow.

[Sean Bragg]

"Have you and Lukka found a place to stay?"

"Don't worry, sir. We stayed ok in the shop. ”

"Well, those people at the wine table can slowly throw away the goods in the future. When we get back to the stronghold, let them find a wagon and bring it over. ”

Adam talks about it, and although an agreement is reached, both sides of the deal are slightly ambiguous, and the other party sees himself as an intermediary lobbyist rather than a collaborator.

How Arnold arranged Adam is still a question, and there is also a Cathy Langal who has no clear attitude.

Therefore, he also understands that those nobles and warlords leave eyes around him.

【Unfinished business: Arnold banquet (2 days left)】

Above the banquet, there is reconciliation, it is a decision, it is a mystery.

But earlier that dinner, which was a great deal, received a note when he left.

[Taigangda's popularity has risen, and interpersonal activity in the black market has risen]

Black appears on the minimap"? Adam was intrigued by the new logo.

When the prisoners heard the news, they met here and were quite touched, and this gentleman still looked calm and reliable.

【10 veteran mercenaries to join your team】

Leaving the dungeon, the note also changed their positioning.

Indeed, this kind of guy who is good at all kinds of affairs is, of course, a mercenary!

[Team: 10]

[Followers: 2]

"Does anyone know what's going on up ahead?"

The black question mark moved slowly, like anxious footsteps.

"It's supposed to be a sale of contraband."

Someone polished the secret box, rummaged through the wooden cards around the corner, and handed them to Adam after confirmation.

"Mr. Adam, I heard you know this kind of code?"

"Let me see."

[Your subordinates are testing your wisdom and seeking opportunities to show in front of you. 】

Adam nodded, searching his memory for knowledge.

Broken wood indicates that things are relatively unpopular, and charcoal outlines indicate that they are related to ore casters.

The lines are messy and intertwined, leaving two blocks of distinct size, and then looking at the lines - a physical object, a clue.

"Let's go."

Adam was convinced, and the prisoners followed, and in fact they had found the right path through the winding passage, and the results had already been explained.

The mercenaries all paid attention to the fact that this gentleman was very knowledgeable.

As for Luca and Sean?

Well, they were unusually calm throughout.

[When a trader appears in front of you, any words and actions you say or do will affect your reputation in the black market. 】

The cloak wrapped the man very tightly, and the bandages and vertical braces completely enveloped him.

"It's rude that there are so many of you, and you don't hide it!"

The voice was rather strange, and it seemed that he had drunk some kind of alchemical potion beforehand.

"So, can the trade still go ahead?"

Adam narrowed his eyes and looked at the other in the inconspicuous moonlight, getting very little information.

The red dots alternate between light and dark, and the smell of smoke spreads, making people impatient.

The mercenaries retreated playfully, guarding every key road - both at the others and at the traders.

"Ten golden crows, drawings and messages can be given to you."

The whistle is light and loud.

Adam behaved frivolously and apparently did not approve of the price.

"That's five, what a bad day!"

Coins and parchment were exchanged under the cloak, and Lukka polished the secret box closer.

【Design Drawing - Heim Silver Sword】

[(Clue 1) Note: Black market circulation, the designer obviously has a talent for secret arts, and there are not many people in the city who can forge it.] 】

"I heard the news that someone in the mining area of Arnold's northern mountains was secretly selling raw ore, and he wanted to find a buyer at the competition.

But, well, it's because of you, Adam.

You ended the conference early, causing that batch of ore to arrive a little late, and now it's struggling to sell. ”

[(Clue 2) The trader speaks bluntly, he is from the city, and you are recognized by him without concealment. 】

Adam didn't like this kind of guessing game, but since the notes gave a hint, it was obviously beneficial to find out who the other person was.

The ore veins are controlled by the army, and since they can have this kind of channel, they will also use simple secret techniques to cover their voices.

Comparing his body shape again, Adam spoke.

"Lady Hamilton, if I were to ask you to make this sword for me, would you refuse?"

Sean was rather unfamiliar with the name, but the other party was visibly nervous.

Adam continued to speak.

"There's no point, I can kill you and get that money back."

When the mercenaries heard this, they all looked at them with pity, and the posture was really terrifying.

"Okay."

The blacksmith lifted her cloak, her hair was locked in a scarf, her face was full of annoyance, and her strange voice was a little out of place.

"You guessed it, but honestly, I can't do it for you."

"Why?"

"He needs Mithril and the Soul Lamp, my dear, these two things are more than just a metal crow!"

The scene is actually a little embarrassing, Luca and Sean are also scratching their heads a little, in the current situation, this woman is still thinking about money?

Of course, their lords must not have been indiscriminate murderers.

Adam tilted his head to suggest, and Sean handed over five more golden crows.

"I'll solve the materials, have a good rest, and be able to deliver them to your store by tomorrow morning." These five pieces are considered entrustment money, and I ask for delivery by the day after tomorrow. ”

Boyer Hamilton fled, and one of the mercenaries nodded and followed, obviously making sure it didn't get the word out tonight.

Sean thought for a moment, speaking before Adam finished his cigarette.

"Sir, the price of Mithril is actually not expensive, and if you can buy it with the difference, you can still afford it."

Adam nodded in acquiescence, this was also the way they had just set up on business.

Wander as an intermediary, widening the trade routes first, and laying the foundation for the sale of goods later.

【Establishment of Taigang Merchant Station】

"You have to have someone to take care of it, and you have to be someone who knows some of the rules."

The mercenaries were all listening, and there was a bit of silence at this moment.

Truth be told, they wanted to follow Adam and not stay in the city.

"Hehe, I'm thinking of two people."

Adam's tone was firm, Luca clapped his hands in understanding, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled, but did not speak.

"But, sir, that soul lamp is a bestseller, and the price is very tight."

"It's okay, the night is still long."

He stretched his arms and relaxed his muscles, feeling that he was too tired as a lord.

"Hey, get me a silver sword."

Adam looked at the moon, and in that direction, it happened to be the dungeon.
