"We sincerely welcome you and thank you again for your valuable assistance to the Chamber in the past." After respectfully inviting Moriarty into the beautiful and chic Chamber of Commerce meeting room, Eve sincerely thanked the other party once more.

Today's chamber of commerce daughters are obviously elaborately dressed. The beige slim long skirt is paired with a waist-length white gauze shirt, which makes the beautiful curves of the young girl immediately revealed. And without the darkness and wind and snow, Eve's delicate face looks so cute and lively after applying powder. Especially against the backdrop of a little silver eyeshadow, his royal blue eyes are gently rippling like a lake, and the brilliance is extraordinary.

"Don't be so polite, Miss Eve," Moriarty smiled faintly, saluted the bright girl back, and then sat down on the guest seat, "Speaking of which, I am also one of the customers of your Chamber of Commerce, and the two sides have cooperated happily for several years. Therefore, I personally do not want to see your chamber of commerce suffer innocent losses because of some despicable evil. ”

"Hehe, it is really a blessing and honor for this chamber of commerce to have a guest like you." Eve sat down beside Moriarty, smiled happily, then blinked, as if puzzled, "But what should I call you?" Is it the Moriarty Mage, or Sir Ensberg, or the Adventurer Mr. Morty? ”

"This is Bracada, and I'm a mage."

It's no surprise that the Dora Chamber of Commerce would find out that he had secretly come to Azurite City by hiding his name and joining his caravan. However, this is not a big deal, and the current repetition of the old story of the Chamber of Commerce girl is just a joke, so Moriarty does not need to shy away from anything, not deny, and not defend.

"How's Butler Franklin doing, I haven't seen him in over a year?" At this time, Moriarty suddenly asked.

"Uncle Franklin had been sent north by his father to deal with some new trade routes. You know, it's hard to get started. There are many things that only an old man like Uncle Franklin can handle. Moriarty asked about Franklin, which could also be seen as a sign of goodwill, so Eve smiled and replied frankly: "But in a few days, the matter in the north should be over." At that time, Uncle Franklin will naturally return to the Bracada line to take the helm. ”

"Yes." Moriarty nodded noncommittally, and then changed his words: "I heard that the four thieves who were captured the night before yesterday have confessed separately, they were hired by an organization in Erathia to come to Blue Crystal City to commit murder, and the target is you, Miss Eve. Does your chamber have any more clues to provide about this? After all, there are already mid-level professionals involved in this incident. In similar cases, it can be said to be quite rare. Although I am not in charge of the follow-up of the case, it may be a bit abrupt to ask here. ”

"Master Moriarty, I'm Abbas. Saidan, Miss Eve's chief bodyguard. Can I answer the question of thieves? At this moment, the "Earth Guardian", who had been standing behind the girl, suddenly stepped forward and said to Moriarty.

"Of course, please." As a mid-level warrior, his strength was enough to be fully respected by Moriarty, who immediately nodded to the other party. Moreover, bloody content such as assassinations and sneak attacks can also be communicated with Abbas, a warrior professional, with less scruples and smoother.

"The few people who attempted to attack Miss this time were from the 'Shadow Worms', and the one who hired them was probably our old adversary, Mayflower. Although we have yet to obtain any conclusive evidence to prove this, I firmly believe that this is the case. ”…,

"Shadow Worms... I've heard the name before, and it seems to be a new underground gang of thieves that has emerged in the last fifty years, with some obscure background. Because of his radical style, he was wanted by the kingdom a long time ago. But for some reason, this organization is really like a hundred-legged insect, and it is always difficult to completely eradicate it. Moriarty recalls some of the secret information he had learned from his previous time in the Ensberg family: "It's just that the Shadow Worm has always been known for its sternness and viciousness, and it is hard to imagine that the four captured thieves could betray it so lightly." ”

"Those four people are just temporary hired peripheral elements, and their strength level is only two or three levels. Only the slain Clem is an official member of the Shadow Worm. On the way to Azurite City, this thief with a fifth-level warrior level has already made tentative moves against us several times. Abbas further explained, "However, because of its 'Gray Shadow Aura' has extraordinary buffs in terms of speed increase and concealment, it can calmly retreat every time it misses." Two days ago, if it weren't for the magic suppression of Mage Moriarty, it would have been very difficult to take down Clem. ”

"That's right." Moriarty nodded, and asked, "Then how can 'Mayflower' be so hostile to Miss Eve to the point of hiring a murderer to get rid of her?" Unlike the Shadow Worms, the Mayflower Mutual Aid is one of the largest formal chambers of commerce in Erathia, and is known for its philanthropic causes. ”

"Hmph, those hypocritical and despicable people are just trying to win people's hearts and make profits under the banner of helping others." Hearing Moriarty mention the Mayflower, Abbas's face immediately showed a look of disdain and disdain that had not even appeared when he had spoken of the thief Clem.

"Abbas!" Seeing that the middle-level warrior couldn't control his feelings, Eve immediately snorted softly.

Abbas reacted immediately, and without saying a word, he retreated.

"You also know that business competition can be fierce and brutal at times. Too many businessmen dare to sacrifice their heads to sharp guillotines for the sake of expected profits. As for spending some money and hiring some dark forces to destroy competitors, it could be said that it is the cheapest business. Eve didn't seem to want to talk too much about the relationship between Doro and Mayflower, and just said a few words lightly, and then turned the subject back again: "Hehe, although you said before that you don't need to thank you for your help, as a representative of the Doro Chamber of Commerce, I must strictly abide by the past traditions of the Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Oh? Tradition? Hearing this, Moriarty raised his eyes and glanced at the other party and said.

"Yes, the tradition of retribution. While a small gift may not be enough to fully express the Dora Chamber of Commerce's sincere gratitude to you, please accept it. With that, Eve took out a small pink and white bag from her bosom and gently handed it to Moriarty: "And, I'm sure you'll love this gift." ”

"This is..."Moriarty took the white pocket with a certain body temperature, his clear eyes immediately flashed, and he immediately asked, "This is a space pocket?" ”

"Oh, yes. But to be precise, it's a pocket-sized space pocket. Eve keenly noticed the glint in Moriarty's eyes, and replied with a slightly smug smile.

Pocket space pockets, a type of small space storage magic items.

Ordinary space pockets generally have a built-in space volume of 5 to 10 cubic meters, which can be used by users to store any non-living items. According to the level of magic items, even the smallest five-cubic-meter space pocket is above the intermediate level, and the local price of Blue Crystal City is as high as 50,000 gold coins. It can be described as an inch of gold. However, due to the problems of manufacturing technology and basic materials, most of the built-in space pockets will not exceed one cubic meter. However, such a small volume is usually not suitable for warriors or legal professionals, so most of the owners of pocket space pockets are some large merchants and nobles who need to carry valuable items with them, mainly to store gems, antiques, art, cash drafts, etc. However, although the volume contained in it is much smaller than that of ordinary space pockets, the market price of pocket pockets, which is between low-level and middle-level magic items, is still more than 10,000 gold coins, which is far from being enjoyed by ordinary people or low-level professionals. …,

Moriarty took the white pocket in his hand, looked it up and down, and opened it.

"One cubic meter, one cubic meter, it can be regarded as the best of the same kind of props."

Under the scanning of the spiritual power, the various numbers of the space pocket were read out one by one in Moriati's mind.

"Huh? What is it? ”

I saw a faint flash of light, and Moriarty's hand already had an extra piece of dark cyan coated paper almost half a meter square. On this somewhat overly heavy sheet of paper, a dizzying array of characters, formulas, and graphics is densely inscribed. But due to the professional sensitivity of a good alchemist, with just a glance, Moriarty was sure that the unknown item in his hand was actually an alchemical blueprint. It's just that this drawing seems to have gone through a long and arduous journey, and there is a mottled patina stain on its surface that covers most of the paper, making the various handwriting on the drawing appear blurred.

"Pocket space pockets, plus an alchemy blueprint, this kind of thank you gift is really too heavy, right?" Moriarty looked at the alchemy paper for a moment, then put it back in, then put his pocket on the coffee table between him and Eve, and asked with a smirk.

"It's not heavy, it seems to me to be the right fit." The girl of the Chamber of Commerce also looked back at Moriarty with a smile and said unhurriedly.

"So, what do you want, or what do you want your chamber of commerce to get? You and I both understand that the basic principle of business dealings is equivalent exchange. So, in the face of this 'gratitude' worth tens of thousands of gold coins, I really don't know what to pay. ”

"Hehe, gold coins or something are just crude numbers, and they don't deserve to be investigated. If there's one thing I really want to gain, it's your friendship, Mage Moriarty. Speaking of this, Eve slowly stood up, smiled lightly, and looked calm and persistent: "In my opinion, your friendship is priceless. ”

Looking at the girl's sapphire-like eyes that were as clear as a sapphire, for a moment, Moriarty seemed to understand why Doro's enemies would try their best to clear the girl in front of him.

Because this Eve does have the extraordinary qualities to become a top businessman.
