Chapter XXIV

Ling Jian continued to stroll down the streets, and before he knew it, he came to a relatively quiet neighborhood.

It's the backyard of the bustling shops that go on all night, and it's generally not part of the tourist area, so it's a bit deserted, but it's still a world away from the dead dead nights in most other cities.

Although there are no tourists, the busy figures of the staff of the major shops and chambers of commerce shuttle through the street, and it is a lively scene.

If there is a caravan to depart, then you can get the most timely news here.

"Huh? Isn't this Mr. Xiao Ling? A familiar voice suddenly came from behind him, "Why are you interested in coming here?" Do you want to choose any materials, I'll leave it to my brother. ”

Here's your chance......

The corners of Ling Key's mouth curled slightly, and he immediately turned his head to face the person who spoke—it was the fat uncle from yesterday afternoon. Hmm, what's his name? Ling Jian hadn't paid attention to it all the time, so he nodded a little awkwardly and skipped the salutation directly: "Late...... Well, good morning. I'm not here to buy anything. ”

The fat uncle obviously also knew Ling Key's temper and face blindness, so he didn't care, and there was a kind smile on his round face that was unique to businessmen: "It's not to buy something, it's something else?" Brother Tong, how can I say that he is also the big shopkeeper of Chaoyang Commercial Bank, although you are welcome. ”

Implicitly reintroducing himself, the fat uncle copper coin warmly beckoned Ling Key to sit in his shop. Although Ling Jian looked young—of course, his body was indeed only seventeen years old—but the copper coin knew very well the ability of this young man, which was a genius that could perfectly replicate the works of the beautiful artist Zhang Wenjie! No matter where it is placed, it is a talent worth accommorating.

Moreover, professions such as makers are notoriously rich, and they are also famous for their ability to spend money. Bring a maker into the store and sit down, and then solve half a month's sales...... Similar jokes have been circulating in the circle of businessmen. This has also made the merchants of Zeno Ulu develop the habit of hospitably entertaining the makers.

Of course, Ling Jian also knew these things, and in the past, he didn't mind accepting the courtship and hospitality of these merchants, but today he was not in the mood to spend too much time on this.

"I'm sorry, I'm leaving the city." Ling Jian said apologetically, "I'm looking for a caravan to leave by now." ”

The fat uncle was slightly stunned, caught off guard by the news. But he didn't gossip about any further inside story, and a smug smile reappeared on his face as his mind turned.

"Oh, that's right...... Brother, I just knew that there was a caravan about to depart, and it was just dawn, and the time was a bit urgent, I don't know if you ......"

"That's it!" Ling Key's eyes lit up, "I was about to leave immediately, see that the luggage is all packed." He lifted his hand and showed the not-so-large handbag.

"Oh~~" The fat uncle's eyes lit up instantly, and he looked at the handbag as if he saw a peerless beauty, "Could it be that this is the legendary ......?"

Ling Jian reluctantly interrupted him: "No, it's not a legendary prop, it's the equipment I made for myself - the experimental table. ”

The fat uncle opened his mouth as if he wanted to refute, as if he wanted to complain, but he was still stopped by Ling Key.

"If so, tell me where I can find the caravan that is about to depart?"

The fat uncle instantly changed his mind: "Oh, this...... It's no secret that this caravan is a bit special, and no one usually wants to ride on them. But Mr. Xiao Ling, your words are absolutely fine. ”

Ling Jian immediately remembered a rumored caravan, because he had basically never been out of the city, so he had not paid much attention to the information in this regard. However, this caravan alone will hear the relevant rumors anyway.

The fat uncle saw Ling Key's expression, and his face became more and more proud: "That's right, it's the traveler's caravan!" Although my brother's Chaoyang Commercial Bank is not very remarkable, it is also one of the business partners of the traveler! ”

As he spoke, he took Ling Key and headed towards the deepest part of the street.

"Mr. Xiao Ling must also know the special situation of that caravan, right? Although it is a caravan, its true strength is no worse than that of the night watchman's patrol. This caravan does not accept ordinary citizens to hitchhike, they only accept strong people such as demon hunters or independent adventurers. Brother, I am also a bit thin-faced, and I can arrange people to join in, but talents like Mr. Xiao Ling, they will ask you to join, right? ”

"Uh, you've won the prize......"

Follow the fat uncle all the way to a wide courtyard, which is also illuminated by many lights as if it were daytime, and many people are busy coming and going in the compound, near the gate leading to the street outside the city, there are ten medium-sized field walking cars parked. The vast majority of the staff revolve around these vehicles, and a tense and orderly atmosphere lingers in the air.

On the other side of the courtyard, a group of twelve strong men in the same form of combat uniforms was patrolling in formation. That's the caravan guards, although they say it's patrolling, but they obviously don't need to be so cautious on their own territory, these battle-hardened warriors should be warming up before they start.

Ling Key carefully looked at these guards a few times, but just as he was face blind, Ling Key didn't have much experience in "looking at people". If you were Teacher Xu Piao or any other instructor, you would definitely be able to decipher a lot of information from the every move of these guards. But at most, Ling Jian only came to the conclusion that "they are basically veterans of a hundred battles". On the contrary, as a builder, he saw at a glance the combat uniforms on their bodies, which were the latest products that were just launched at the beginning of this year, and if they were equipped with a complete set of equipment, they would cost at least a million!

It can only be said that the traveler is indeed the richest man in the world! The Traveler's House is indeed the most moat of the Witcher's Studio! The Traveler's Chamber of Commerce is indeed the most profitable Chamber of Commerce!

"Boss Copper is here, welcome!" At this time, an old man in good spirits walked over.

"Where, where." The fat uncle hurriedly returned the greetings, "It's really offensive to come here rashly at this time and disturb your work." ”

The gray-haired old man was, the head of the caravan and the captain of the convoy. He is also said to be the vice president of the Traveler's House and the most trusted person of the Traveler. All in all, his power is indeed not something that the fat uncle copper coin can treat as an equal.

The old man smiled peacefully and said, "It's not a disturbance, it's just routine work, the young men are doing a good job, and the old man doesn't need to bother." ”

As he spoke, he handed a piece of dark blue crystal to a clerk passing by: "Put this into the container of the third car as well." ”

The fat uncle suddenly laughed: "The traveler still likes to collect gems so much. ”

"Yes, if Boss Copper has any high-quality gemstones, he can sell them to us directly."

The two exchanged a few words, and the fat uncle also took the opportunity to explain his intentions. The unsociable Ling Key honestly waited by the side for their negotiations to end.

However, the fat uncle was obviously humble just now, and Old Dakker just casually glanced at Ling Jian and agreed to let him join the caravan and set off together.

The fat uncle's face is far more reliable than what he says.

After settling down, the fat uncle said goodbye to Ling Jian warmly, and then reluctantly left...... Maybe it's because of the sadness of missing a high-quality business partner, or maybe it's because of the bracelet talisman that Ling Key gave him as a reward just now.
