Chapter 410: Initial Contact
Since the innkeeper chose to open a shop in the city, it is not difficult to see that he is the kind of merchant who seeks stability. This kind of person lacks pioneering and gambling spirit compared to businessmen. So no matter how fanciful Zhou Xuanshu is talking about now, he will not choose to believe it immediately.
"Guests may be extraordinary. But after living a habit and settling down, you become less courageous and you are less. The small shop is small, but I don't want to gamble. Those noble mages may not usually deal with small people like us, but once the things that have been explained go wrong, we will never be able to bear the anger of the mage masters. β
Although the boss with an unclear background said so, Zhou Zhan would not be stupid to believe it. From his tone, it is not difficult to see that he is very dismissive of the mercenaries who call the word 'master' from the bottom of their hearts, and the lord in his mouth is even more ridiculous.
Being able to ridicule a mage who is in power in a mage's main city like this shows that this person has a certain amount of confidence.
Secretly sighed, "It's really bad luck, I have met a guy who is suspected of being a master." After saying this, Zhou took out a gold coin, twisted it into a hollow cylinder with two fingers, and asked with a little helplessness: "Is this okay?" β
"The guests are really good."
The innkeeper's expression remained unchanged, and after a pretended compliment that was neither salty nor light, his left index finger kept tapping on the counter. After thinking about it for a while, he finally clapped his hands and said: "If the honorarium is a task with gold coins, maybe there are still one or two that can help introduce the guests, but the guests' honorarium requirements are too high, and the reputation damage caused by a slight fork in the shop is not small." β
Upon hearing this, Zhou quickly understood the innkeeper's subtext. Since Zhou Zhan showed that hard kung fu, the innkeeper did not deny Zhou Zhan's strength, but implied that he was meticulous and his character was unknown, and under the premise of this kind of no guarantee, if something happened to him or the relationship behind him to deal with follow-up problems, it might cause unnecessary trouble.
For being rejected by the innkeeper, Zhou Zhisheng rubbed his temples with a headache. Just when Zhou was about to turn around and give up, the innkeeper stopped him who had just shown signs of turning around, and said with a smile: "Although the store can't be a direct intermediary, it doesn't mean that the guests can't achieve their goals. It's just that this kind of informal channel, whether you can get that honorarium depends on the ability of the guest. β
After saying this, without waiting for Zhou Zhishu to ask, the innkeeper said to himself: "You must know that even if you follow the order, there will be a black market. As long as guests don't mind accidents, going to the black market may not satisfy their needs. β
Looking at Zhou Zhan's noncommittal attitude, the boss, who was smiling even more and narrowed his eyes and could barely see the seams, said in a bewitching tone: "As long as the guests can spend no less than five hundred gold coins in the store at one time, the store can provide the guests with a black market joint location for free." β
As soon as the innkeeper finished speaking, Zhou Xiaoshu waved his hand directly and said, "Forget it, I don't like that kind of place." The boss still don't introduce me. β
Unless Zhou is a fool, he will immediately pay to inquire about the whereabouts of the black market in front of so many people. The black market is indeed the best place to find out the news, but as long as Zhou Zhan asks the location of the black market now, maybe in the blink of an eye, Zhou Zhan and his party will be targeted by the anti-osmosis department of Genting City.
After a little hesitation, Zhou Zhan seemed to be ruthless, and asked the innkeeper: "I don't know what is the upper limit of the reward introduced by the boss for the work of gold coins?" β
"Up to 2,000 gold coins, but there is only one such job, and it costs 20 percent."
As soon as the innkeeper finished speaking, Zhou Zhensheng couldn't help but say in a higher voice: "Why? Didn't you say 10 percent before? β
Before the innkeeper could answer, the guests, who had been eating pastries and watching the play quietly, whispered to each other, "It can't be that, right?" β
"Which? You're going to make it clear! β
"That's it, the commission for Lord Helolo."
For the first time this time, the innkeeper did not threaten the group of guests who ruined the quiet atmosphere in the store, but quietly waited for the answer given by Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan, who had completely assumed his role, put on a puzzled look, and asked the boss curiously: "Who is Lord Heloro in their mouths?" β
The innkeeper did not answer Zhou's question directly, but pulled out a dusty sideboard of the release task from under the counter and handed it to Zhou Xuanshu at the bar.
'Recruit a number of laboratory security guards at a preferential price. βHerolo
"Boss, what do you mean by that?"
In the face of this kind of recruitment information that everyone can see that there is a cat, if Zhou Xuanshu does not hesitate to follow at this time, it is abnormal!
For Zhou Xiao's sharp questioning, the innkeeper was not angry at all, but just straightened his voice.
When he coughed dryly, the guests who had planned to watch the excitement all turned around and continued the previous mode of tea tasting. The innkeeper dipped his hand in water and wrote two lines on this horizontal plate.
After reading the handwriting written by the innkeeper, Zhou finally knew why no one had answered this commission for a long time.
In addition to the fact that this mage named Helolo is a little dangerous, it is more that she offended Mage Covicot and is also one of the targets of Zhou's extermination. The reason why Kvicott used such a soft knife to treat Heloro was also due to Helolo's unexpectedly deceased master and Kvicot's fellow brothers.
After taking over the task and leaving the hotel, after many inquiries by Zhou Xuan, the news he got was very bloody. Heroo suspected that the death of his teacher was related to his uncle. The reason is also very simple, Kvicot was not famous before. But since his teacher and his death in a group exploring the ruins, Kvicott has risen uncontrollably.
Herolo believes that Covicot's career is absolutely linked to the death of his teacher. The next step, of course, is to find out the truth, although Covicott did not embarrass him face-to-face, but he also has a tacit attitude towards the men's response to her.
Although Kvicot's disciples would not kill Heroo directly, as long as they could make things difficult for her, all sides would put obstacles in her way.
"What do you think?"
After sharing the news, Zhou began to spread the sound to the three of them to ask for their opinions.
"It's more likely to be real, but it's also possible to be fishing."
After thinking about it again, Alan passed his opinion back to Zhou through the transmission.
"I agree with Alan, but it's better to check it out. My instincts tell me that innkeeper is not simple. β
After saying this, Sophie thought about it and added, "I don't feel whether the boss is kind or malicious. β
