Chapter VI: Identity
The church of St. Anne is an ordinary-looking church, and its fame is not due to miracles, but to the renunciation of the original faith.
It is a place where all kinds of people can gather and get all kinds of information, but at the same time it retains the status of a church, and it is not searched by the city garrison and cannot be attacked by the underworld.
As long as you don't make trouble here, you don't have to worry about being arrested on the spot, even if you're a wanted criminal, but what will happen after you walk out is something that the godfather can't control.
Dice was sitting in the penultimate row at the moment, and to his right was a thin, pale man, about thirty years old, sickly as if he could no longer stand up with a push.
"Master Diss, what I found this time is the highest quality, ...... are you sure?"
"Are you deaf?" Diese scolded very unhappily, "Still don't want to live anymore? ”
"Don't, don't be angry, Master Diss, I'm just asking more, anyway, the news was sold to you, as for the money, ......"
The thin man looked left and right for a while, making sure that no one was around, and then stuffed a small ball of paper into Dies's palm, and then carefully took a money bag from Dies's side.
"Master Dis, I'll leave first if it's okay."
Dis snorted, and the thin man walked out as if he had been pardoned.
After sitting silently for a while, Dees opened the note and looked at it, and after memorizing the information on it, he crumpled the note and removed the card inside.
The man who had just left was one of the most well-informed people in the city, and was focused on finding out about all kinds of treasures and women. The woman he chose with his almost critical eye should not be bad.
After thinking about it, Dis had already walked out of the church, and after noticing the people who were not following him, he followed the instructions in the note and found a small hotel on the third floor.
This place is known to dis but has only been here once or twice.
The first floor of the hotel was shabby, with rough and worn carpets and oil-stained tops, apparently a place to sell moldy food and low-quality liquor to travelers who didn't have much money.
The second floor is slightly better, not luxurious but clean, with a few dedicated waiters who provide some less quality service to the local middle class or small merchants from other places.
As for the third floor, which only caters to people with special status, it can be considered one of the most luxurious places in the city.
Guided by a good-looking waitress, Diess swiped through the softly carpeted corridor and swiped his key card to open the innermost room on the third floor, and met the target of the intelligence dealer.
Although Dees still didn't trust that guy very much, this time he had to affirm the viciousness of his vision.
On the smooth floor of the stone bricks of Phnom Penh, furniture made of high-quality wood is placed, and more than three or two bright flowers are placed in the glass bottles on the tabletop, still stained with drops of water.
And at the edge of the white wall, a woman leans against a wooden board by the window, overlooking the pedestrians on the street.
Just a silhouette makes the whole luxurious room her foil.
Her skin is very white, close to the color of snow. The facial lines are very soft, and there is a faint hint of fortitude and firmness in his expression.
The eyes are like ice, cold and moving. Joan's nose is upturned, and her red lips are slightly open, as if there is a faint fragrance spreading.
Three thousand silver threads hung down to the slender waist, slender legs were half-hidden in a long white and blue-edged dress, and a pair of snow feet wrapped in crystal high heels were as difficult to find flaws as fine works of art.
Dis sighed, this top-of-the-line choice of skin and temperament, I think she is a beautiful woman in the north.
Judging by her appearance, she should be from a noble family, and she is the eldest daughter with real power, and she is by no means a commodity of marriage.
After all, a woman of this level, with a slightly lower IQ and EQ, is the fate of dying early or being collected as a plaything.
To be able to live until now, you can't underestimate it.
"You're the one who found Rhodes?"
Dees asked,
"I thought the intelligence dealer was just a ruffian trying to pry something out of his mouth. Unexpectedly, he still found me someone with some ability",
The woman spoke, her voice very soft, but it made Diess feel irresistible.
This woman is not easy to deal with, and Dees secretly thought that according to his previous experience, Dees was sure to restrain the other party within two seconds, but there was always a voice in his brain reminding him to stay away from her.
I'm afraid there's something in her that can make her suffer......
Luckily, Diess hasn't done anything about the other party yet, and on the contrary, he still needs such an existence to deal with a certain guy.
"Say, what do you want?"
Diess closed the door casually, leaned against the wall and asked,
The woman looked at Dis for a while, and after the other party showed a slightly unhappy look, she finally said.
"Three days later, there was a big auction in town, and I wanted one of the auction items."
Dees breathed a sigh of relief,
"I see, in that case, I'll give you money ......"
"That thing can't be bought with money, it can only be obtained by forcible seizure, which is why I need a helper."
Dis's eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about gains and losses, and the woman didn't bother him, and it was still up to Dice to calculate.
Until a few minutes later, Diess said slowly,
"Yes, but I have two conditions."
"Speak,"
The woman asked, not the slightest surprise.
"First, I have a friend who is much better than me, and it's not a problem to help you get something.
But after this incident, you will leave the city immediately, and you will never come back. ”
The woman thought about it for a while, and agreed,
"What about the second condition?"
"Remuneration." Dees said lightly, "My friend doesn't need money, and he doesn't need status, you should understand what to give." ”
Neither money nor status?
The woman was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red, and her ice-jade eyes were full of anger,
"I'm not a trader!"
"There's nothing you can't trade." Dees shook his index finger,
"I don't ask you what you want, because I know that without what he can't take, absolute power naturally has to pay a lot of money.
If it weren't for the fact that this guy has been having a brain problem lately and wants to find a place to live in seclusion, I wouldn't have come to you. ”
As if he hadn't noticed the other man's anger, Dice continued.
"Besides, after you get what you want, don't you need to hide it for a while? Two people are better than one. ”
Diess looked at the other party with interest,
"Looking at your face, you must not have been in contact with a man before, why don't you try it?"
The woman has been in a high position for a long time, where have she heard others comment on herself so vulgarly, her slender body trembled with anger, as if she was going to smash Dis to death with her small fist in the next second.
"Hey, woman, you have to give what you want. In my opinion, you may not be worthy of my friend. Is it necessary to look like this if it can't be said twice? ”
Diese pouted, found a chair and sat down,
"If you don't think it works, you can try it somebody else. It's better to hurry, after all, my friend is still leaving in a while. ”
A cigar popped out of his breast pocket, and without seeing any movement from Diss, the cigar that reached his mouth spontaneously ignited, and the white smoke wrapped around his fingers, changing shapes, but never dissipated.
The woman clenched her fists and looked at Diss deeply, her face slowly returning to her usual appearance.
"I'll think about it seriously, but first I need to see him and see his strength with my own eyes."
"No problem~", Dees replied, knowing that business cannot be negotiated at one time.
Jokes, all in the uncle's sleeve, still want to run?
"I don't know what I should call you, beautiful lady?"
Dees smiled and asked.
"Heroda, Heroda? Asa"
"Oh...... Hilda. Diess repeated the name until the other party's pretty face turned a little blue, then he took out a piece of paper and said slowly,
"Well, there's something I want to tell you in advance.
Because my friend has been stimulated a little lately, and something is not normal lately, we need to change identities to meet him.
Shhh......h
Well, there is, Miss Siluda.
Remember your new identity, from now on, you will be a village girl in Myron Village. ”
“....... What did you say? ”
