Dusk, outside the city of Beria, Jiangnan leather workshop.

A soldier and a teenager stood across the workbench.

"Is that you?" The boy glanced at the soldier.

"It's me." The soldier nodded, and the young man's prepared appearance surprised him slightly.

"You're here."

"I'm coming."

"You're here anyway, after all."

"I'm here anyway, after all."

Silence, long silence.

It seems that the two people carved in clay and wood are facing each other, but the sunset is getting more and more oblique.

"What are you doing here?" The teenager eventually broke the silence.

"Buy leather armor." The soldier's words were crisp and neat, word by word, without the slightest hesitation.

The young man groaned for a while and asked slowly, "How much to buy?" How much does each piece cost? ”

"One hundred, ten silver each." The soldier's words remained crisp and crisp, without hesitation.

The young man's face changed: "You know that I don't sell leather armor for ten silver pieces here." ”

"But I'm going to bid ten silver."

The boy stared at the soldier, and the soldier stared at the boy.

The young man was silent for a long time, and then finally shook his head slowly and said, "The leather armor of the Jiangnan leather workshop is only sold for twenty copper. ”

"You're crazy," the soldier's eyes fluctuated, "if this continues, this shop will close sooner or later!" ”

"I'm sober," the young man still looked at the other party seriously, "because Ruoya specially instructed that no matter how much the army bids, I will only sell twenty copper." ”

Silence, deathly silence.

After looking at the boy for a long time, the soldier Ike felt that he really couldn't stand this strange atmosphere, and took the lead in raising his hand to surrender: "Okay, you won, I also applied to the logistics department for a long time for the sake of your brothers and sisters to get this price...... But now it seems that I am still playing the piano to the cow. ”

The young man before the meeting still didn't react, and Ike felt a little annoyed: "It was the staff member who asked me to come." ”

"Hmm."

"He said he wanted you to finish the 100 pieces of leather armor within a month."

"Hmm."

The staff also said...... Let you complete this batch of orders and send them over in person. Ike said this with a somewhat complicated tone.

"Hmm." The boy nodded, still not seeing the slightest mood swing on his face.

Ike's expression was a little strange at this time.

He was very surprised when he received the order to go out and buy leather armor.

The purchase of leather armor itself was normal, but the specific content of the order made him think for a long time:

Book 100 pieces of leather armor to Jiangnan leather workshop, limited to one month to complete, after the order is completed by Jiangnan leather workshop personally send someone to deliver, the specific purchase price please negotiate with the logistics office.

He naturally knew about the Jiangnan leather workshop - before he personally gave the order to the soldiers of the demolition team to return to the camp, and he also knew that the leather armor produced by this workshop was incredibly high - some brothers in the military camp went out of the camp to watch the opening of the workshop during the day, and they were full of praise for the leather armor produced by the Jiangnan leather workshop after returning to the camp at night.

But anyway...... On the evening of the opening of this workshop, the chief of staff placed such a large order with the workshop in the name of the army official...... This matter seems far from being as simple as it seems.

Not to mention the sentence "After the order is completed, the Jiangnan leather workshop will personally send someone to deliver the goods".

In the setting of the Azure Continent, the military's information is almost completely out of circulation with the outside world.

Even if you ask an intelligence officer about the military in a well-informed guild, you can only get the answer that "the military information is confidential".

Although soldiers who come out one day a week often reveal a little bit of military information to their friends or artillery friends.

But that's limited to a few pieces of inconsequential information.

Because if it's critical information, like the number of troops Ike had told Reroya last time...... Once this kind of thing is discovered by the military or reported by the Chaoyang masses, both parties who transmit and receive information will be killed!

Under normal circumstances, non-military personnel will most likely not have access to military information for the rest of their lives, let alone enter the barracks.

But this sentence ......

But it is equivalent to giving the Jiangnan leather workshop a free access to the barracks!

If something major happens, the military will give people such permission, but instead, give the reason for such authority...... But it's just such a small thing as delivery!

Ike pondered for a long time and couldn't understand the meaning of the staff's order, but after receiving the order, he was even more convinced that the relationship between the evil adventurer and the staff must be extraordinary.

He took great pains to get a higher price for the Jiangnan leather workshop - of course, he knew in his heart that the leather armor produced in this store was far more than ten silver pieces, but this was already the limit of what he could get.

He hoped that Miss Lei Ruoya of the evil sect would see his message of goodwill.

But the reality is completely different from what he imagined.

He pondered the meaning of the staff's orders, and tried his best to get a better price for Miss Lei Ruoya.

But in the end, she didn't even see Miss Lei Ruoya, the main master, only her taciturn brother beside her, who was a little lacking in presence, and this brother also rejected his price.

And the phrase "The staff asked you to deliver the goods in person" made me feel extremely incredible, but when the other party heard it, he just nodded lightly and said "um".

It's as if I've just heard something normal.

……

As soon as Ike who came to order was sent away, Jiangnan Leather Workshop welcomed a new customer.

When the blonde man stepped into the workshop, it was already completely dark, and Lei Yang, who had just sent off the guests, had not yet had time to light the oil lamp for lighting.

Darkness enveloped the small space of the hut, making it almost impossible to see.

But Lei Yang still clearly saw that the other party frowned visibly when he walked into the messy room, as if he had seen something that he didn't like very much.

Lei Yang stared at the blonde man in the dark for a long time, only to realize that he had seen this person.

He was somewhat face-blind, and for him, it took him a lot of time to recognize a person, which was a sign that he was so impressed.

The blonde man in front of him was strong, so he could remember.

But after recognizing the other party, Lei Yang didn't know how to say it - Ike's previous visit was due to his sister's anticipation and preparation of words for him before leaving, so he could communicate with the visitor so fluently.

Lei Ruoya obviously didn't expect such a guest to be welcomed in this small workshop.

"Hello." Lei Yang thought about it for a long time, and finally remembered the way ordinary people greeted him.

The blonde man didn't say anything to Lei Yang's greeting, but looked at the other party with some disgust.

Lei Yang didn't understand the meaning in the other party's eyes.

The blonde man was silent for a long time, opening his mouth several times as if trying to say something, but each time he closed it again as soon as he opened it halfway.

After repeating this several times, the blonde man finally spoke, but his brows furrowed exaggeratedly when he spoke, and he looked extremely reluctant: "Hey, what about that person?" ”

"Who?" Lei Yang felt a little inexplicable.

"Reoya." The blonde man's brow was still furrowed as he said this.

Lei Yang thought about it and found that his sister did not leave an explanation about this aspect, so he replied honestly: "Sister, she and Mr. Xu Ke went out." ”

"Where did you go?"

"I don't know."

The blond man seemed extremely dissatisfied with Lei Yang's answer, and he stared at Lei Yang in front of him with wide blue eyes.

Lei Yang felt that this person was so strange, the last time he met him, he didn't say a word, but this time he said a few words, but he kept looking at himself with such an expression......

Lei Yang couldn't tell what kind of expression the other party had, but this kind of gaze made him very uncomfortable.

Just as Lei Yang thought of this, he suddenly noticed that the blonde man in front of him moved.

The blonde man stepped forward and took a step, his stride was extremely fast, and the moment Lei Yang realized that he had moved, he had already stepped in front of Lei Yang, and then ......

A huge axe appeared out of thin air in his hand!

The giant axe slashed towards Lei Yang abruptly, and the air around him made a heavy sound of "hunting" with the chopping of the giant axe!

The wide axe blade instantly occupied Lei Yang's entire line of sight, and he was startled, and then his right hand almost subconsciously stretched out to the side and grasped the long knife placed on the table.

The handle of the knife fell into the palm of his hand and a familiar touch came from it, and Lei Yang's originally panicked mind suddenly calmed down at this moment.

Facing the giant axe that was about to slash at his forehead, Lei Yang skillfully drew his knife out of its sheath.

In the dark night, it was almost impossible to see Lei Yang's action of drawing the knife, only to hear the sound of the iron knife pulling out of the sheath, and then the iron knife had already slashed towards the blade of the axe!

The long knife collides with the massive blade of the axe, cutting the opponent in half effortlessly!

The iron blade of the axe fell straight to the ground as it had done the last time, making a loud noise in the silence of the night.

"What are you doing!?" Lei Yang didn't put away the knife this time, but looked at the blonde man vigilantly.

He sensed that something was wrong with the other party.

Last time, the blonde man also swung his axe at himself inexplicably, but the other party's attack was clearly not the slightest hostile.

This time, however......

It's obviously the same person, and they also shot at themselves inexplicably, and even the final result of the shot is exactly the same......

But I can feel it......

This person is really murderous this time!

If you can't take the axe...... I'm afraid he's going to kill himself!

"I smell a weak person, so I'm very upset." The blonde man took a step back and returned to his previous position.

The last time the blonde man praised the iron knife in Lei Yang's hand for being unparalleled, his eyes were always fixed on Lei Yang.

This time, after the blonde man finished saying a somewhat inexplicable sentence, he stared intently at the iron knife in Lei Yang's hand.

The blue eyes were unusually bright at this moment.

……

The female adventurer felt that something strange had happened to her today.

This thing is really strange, and the female adventurer still feels very strange when he thinks about it.

But this matter is related to the elder, and she can't say it casually, so she can only hold it in her heart, which makes her very uncomfortable.

This morning, she was ordered by the elder to send two gifts to the Jiangnan leather workshop.

But as soon as she walked downstairs, she heard the elder speaker's voice again: "Wait, this thing...... Let me deliver it myself. ”

The female adventurer was a little surprised when she heard this, and she quickly turned around to find that the elder had already stood behind her at some point.

She was about to respectfully ask the elder the reason for his sudden change, but the elder waved his hand impatiently and said, "Stop talking nonsense, give me something." ”

The president's reaction startled her, and she hurriedly handed the two things in her hand to the president, and carefully observed the president's expression during the process, for fear that the other party would be angry.

The elder seemed to be a little impatient, and did not react to his own observations in the slightest.

He took the two things and hurried away.

The female adventurer only felt a little strange at this time, but she didn't think too much about it.

But what really struck her as odd was ......

In just ten minutes, she saw the elder again!

And in the hall where the Dragon Slayer gathers!

At that time, the elder was standing in the middle of a large group of adventurers and chatting and laughing with everyone, with a gentle expression on his face.

She rubbed her eyes, thinking she had seen something wrong.

But when he opened his eyes again, the president was still in his sight.

The female adventurer thought it was strange......

Because I know ...... I saw the elders go out with my own eyes.

The location of the Jiangnan leather workshop is half an hour away from here, and since the elder said that he would go to give gifts in person...... Then there's no reason to come back so soon!?
