CHAPTER 20 ANSCO
The expected guests arrived later than Qin Ran imagined. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Before that, there was an uninvited guest.
Knock, knock.
"Please come in."
After the knock on the door, following Qin Ran's words, a man dressed as a businessman walked in.
The other party is smiling, and the body is chubby, which is very consistent with people's impression of businessmen.
"Hello, I'm Add."
After a brief introduction, the other party began to complain.
"What a damn thing!"
"I can't wait that long for the market to be closed for a week due to the assassination, so I've brought some of my goods to see if you need anything?"
"Trust me, my stuff is the best of the best."
"Now, you can get them for half the price."
As he spoke, the other party took out his pocket and put some things on the coffee table in front of Qin Ran.
It is a few small wood carvings and root carvings.
In terms of technique, Qin Ran couldn't see anything.
However, Qin Ran knew that the other party's purpose was not to trade at all.
At least a normal merchant wouldn't have a dagger, three throwing knives, or poison on him.
And after the other party enters the room, that kind of gaze will not be what a businessman should have.
Instead, it's a bit like a police detective.
Qin Ran had met too many police detectives in the dungeon world, and he was really familiar with the expressions and habits of these police detectives.
Eddie in front of him has a similar habit.
However, unlike the police detectives Qin Ran knew, the other party's habit of looking at him was full of invasiveness. Outline. Feeling and with a hint of malice.
Suddenly, Qin Ran had a guess about the identity of the other party.
Spy?
Qin Ran, who had a guess in his heart, immediately wrestled with the other party.
"yes, that's not good news for us."
"Is it possible to barter?"
Qin Ran replied in a businessman-like tone.
"Of course, no problem!"
The other party nodded again and again.
When Qin Ran moved those goods out, the other party seemed to ask without a trace: "Your Excellency, what do you think of yesterday's assassination?" ”
"That priest is pitiful, he died at the hands of an assassin, but I am also pitiful, and I fear that if I continue like this, I will lose all my blood."
Qin Ran replied.
"And what else do you see?"
"Like, in front of that inn?"
The other party continued to ask.
The words are full of inducements.
"You mean the place that sells trinkets?"
"I didn't have anything to gain except for buying two copper rings, but unfortunately, the furs sold in the stall next to me were very good."
"Hopefully the hunter will be okay in the explosion."
Qin Ran pretended to be pitiful and said.
"Explosion?"
"You saw the explosion?"
"It's horrible!"
The other party exclaimed.
"yes, it's terrible!"
"I'm glad I left early, otherwise I wouldn'......"
As he spoke, Qin Ran shook his head with palpitations.
"You're in luck."
The other party also looked embarrassed.
After that, in the next half hour, the two sides exchanged a lot of goods in a barter manner, and Qin Ran fought for each item on the basis of reason, which made the transaction fall into a dead end several times.
In the end, however, both sides were satisfied.
"Good luck."
Eddie said goodbye with a blessing.
"The same goes for you."
Qin Ran also smiled and sent his blessings.
Then, when the door is closed.
The merchant, who identified himself as Add, left the hallway with a speed that did not match his posture and the sound of light footsteps.
Qin Ran, who sat back on the sofa, clearly heard the footsteps of the other party in the distance.
"An agent from the top of Navia City?"
"Or from the temple?"
Qin Ran guessed.
As for the commander of the city guards?
After seeing the other party's arrangement last night, Qin Ran didn't believe that the other party's subordinates would have such talents at all.
What's more, just finding him every other day and learning in detail about what he did before the explosion yesterday is not something that the city guards can have.
At least, in Qin Ran's impression, the merchant who sold jewelry was seriously injured, even if he didn't die.
Under such a premise, the other party can also get the corresponding information, which is enough to show that the means are good, and they are definitely not ordinary people.
Knock, knock.
Just as Qin Ran was guessing the identity of the other party, the knock on the door sounded again.
Moreover, without waiting for the other party to speak, the door was pushed open.
A man in a sackcloth hood and cloak walked in.
The reason why he said it was a man was because the other party had a thick beard.
The beard is already white, indicating that the other party is not young.
The sound that followed also proved this.
"Mr. Lane?"
"I'm sorry, we only found your name, we didn't find your real name."
"You don't mind if I call you that, do you?"
As he spoke, he put his right hand on his chest and bent down to make a knightly salute.
Qin Ran shrugged his shoulders and looked at the other party with an uncaring look.
"You can call me Ansco."
"You can also call me a 'follower.'"
"Unlike the nominally nobleman in the city, but in fact the secret agent of the 'Temple of Thorns', Eddie, I have no intention of hiding anything when I face my friends."
The other party continued.
Then, take off the hood.
A square, weather-covered cheek appeared in front of Qin Ran.
What surprised Qin Ran the most was that the other party's eyes were gray, but the pupils that should have existed had long since disappeared.
Blind?!
Qin Ran frowned.
The other party's appearance just now didn't look like a blind man.
No matter walking, sitting or lying, they are no different from ordinary people.
"Mr. Lane, you're surprised?"
"With your skills, you can close your eyes and want to be like me, right?"
The other laughed.
"You seem to know me well?"
Qin Ran raised his eyebrows.
"No!"
"I don't know much other than speculation from the traces you left on the docks, but I know that you don't have a good opinion of the temple and a lot of contempt for the rulers here...... You see, when you're blind, you're always going to get something different or something different. ”
The other shook his head as he spoke, revealing a smile.
Then, under Qin Ran's signal, the other party continued: "You have met a very cunning enemy, and he is also our enemy. ”
"So, I think we can work together."
The other party states his purpose.
"How to cooperate?"
Qin Ran seemed to be interested.
"I can give you the most detailed information about that guy, if you help me take out the other guy - of course, you don't do it alone, we'll send someone to help you."
"Trust me, I don't have any ill will or deception towards you."
"After all, it's too hard to find an ally in Navia."
The other party said directly.
"Hmm."
"I'm sure you don't have any allies in Navia City."
"Otherwise, you wouldn't have noticed that someone was following you all the time."
Qin Ran said with a smile.
"W-What?!"
Ansco was stunned.
Then, a figure appeared out of thin air behind Ansco, and the dagger in his hand stabbed straight into the opponent's vest.
