Chapter VI: Receipt of Stolen Goods
"As you just said, there aren't many people who can use this pair of arms well at this stage, because it requires special skills." Speaking of this, the other party paused slightly, "And 18 gold coins to buy such an unnecessary item, besides you guinea pigs who fought with their lives at the beginning, will there be anyone else?" β
According to the official statement, six of the original testers had to undergo permanent psychiatric treatment. Although it is not explained what the exact reason is, in the eyes of the public, their image is fixed as a guinea pig in the real yΓ n room.
"Looks like you're deliberately putting these things out to attract the attention of our heirs!" By this time, Barrett still didn't know what the other party meant, that is, the real fool, "Say it! What exactly is your purpose? It's not going to be something bad to make a public shot and want us people to eat it! β
"Sure enough, the inheritors who can mix well are all smart people. That's right! There is indeed something. How about it, is there any interest in giving a word! The other party's expression is obviously an old fritter, and he doesn't scatter eagles if he doesn't see a rabbit! The meaning of the other party's words is to sell the stolen goods, but even if they are heirs, not everyone has a channel to sell the stolen goods. So here someone still deliberately clicked on it.
"It's interesting, how can it be boring. But you don't look like you wear that kind of thing all the time, and it's not the place to talk right now! At this point, Barrett gave the other party a look, "Let's make an appointment with a suitable time and place!" β
"Meet at the Sheep and Spices Tavern at noon tomorrow! I guess the little room there is a suitable place to trade. You should be able to remember what I looked like. After saying this, the guy didn't seem to continue to set up a stall, and had already begun to turn around and pack up his things.
"And what shall I call you then?" Barrett said as he looked at someone who was quickly packing up.
Without looking back, the other party said, "You can call me Darth." β
Barrett never saw any furniture for himself in these stalls. It's not that there are no good goods at all, but it's useless to myself.
It's just that I heard a lot of rumors, such as a pair of ogre bosses on the West Uhtred Mountains who were ferocious and powerful, and killed three or four teams in a row to encircle and suppress it, and the players were killed and injured countless times for a while. Or maybe Bolim is going to organize a team of adventurers to go to the northern fortress to participate in the war with the nomadic tribes, etc. What caught his attention the most was the news from the city of Shafir that a big fat sheep had recruited men in the city to protect him as he went to the dark regions. I don't know if it's for trade or for some other purpose......
Barrett began to analyze the news he heard one by one, to see if there was anything he could mix: "The elite ogre boss is a completely invincible target for current players, as long as I don't get hit by the retarded technique, then I will definitely not provoke it now." As for the so-called officially organized adventurer operation, I am even less interested. I'm not going to join those cannon fodder battalions, and the northern front won't survive so easily. With the player's current strength, the risk is no lower than that of dealing with ogres! The natives are purely using the resurrected player as a consumable! β
However, about a certain big customer who is not bad for money, it made some waves in Barrett's heart: "Could it be that the rich second generation of one of the consortiums in reality has come to the game to get away." However, if you really want to go to the dark region, with the strength that players can access now, there is no way to guarantee safety! β
Having achieved his goal, Barrett went about his daily work before trading with the stall setter tomorrow - although there is not much to be gained in a stable environment, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still a piece of meat! When the sun set, Barrett had a two-foot-long black loaf under his armpit and an extra piece of dry cheese in his hand.
Under the blue velvet-like sky, the time was approaching noon, and it seemed that the time to meet with the appointment was approaching. Barrett stretched his waist and walked in the direction of the tavern - you must know that Barrett had put the rest of his tasks on the back burner for today's meeting: 'I just hope that the goods that guy has brought out will not disappoint!' β
Located to the east of the town's business district, this gnome-run pub is the only full-service property in a prime location in the city of Shafir. The dwarf who runs the Sheep & Spices Tavern is Campbell Fawker, and as his name suggests, he is a living treasure - he is a very old man, he regards humor as the highest form of art, and as an excellent performer, he is one of the two treasures of the town.
The other is his halfling wife, Amaris Koji, who is an accomplished chef who makes the tavern famous for selling some of the best home-cooked food in and around the city of Safir. So he's more of a restaurant than a tavern in the usual sense of the word - it's quite famous, and while its gin is good, it's far less than the food.
Gently pushing open the sturdy wooden door of the inn, before the front foot stepped in, there was already a noisy cheer in his ears - it seemed that the atmosphere was really warm.
"Oh! With the arrival of a new person, please let me extend my most sincere welcome to you. Mr! At Sheep & Spices, you're sure to find what you're looking for. "There is no doubt that this is the voice of a certain dwarf. Standing on a beautiful carpet in the center of the tavern, he greeted Barrett, who had just entered, while juggling an upside down.
At this time, the tavern lady chef was the chef who was seasoning behind the bar, stirring twice with her big spoon in the large iron pot, and scooped the ingredients below to the top. Brown is beef, yellow is potato. The red ones are carrots, and the white ones are onions. Immediately as she stirred, a strong aroma wafted out, and the smell made even Barrett, who had just entered the tavern, feel his index finger move.
Barrett looked around the small part of the tavern, and the people in the tavern looked at the newcomer and then went back to their old conversation. Barrett finally locked onto a male human who appeared to be quite old in the corner with his back to him. Because there was another young man at the table he was inβthe guy who had previously negotiated with Barrett to make a trade today. Barrett had to be wary of an unplanned figure who suddenly appeared.
For the sake of caution, Barrett did not take a step immediately. However, the other party obviously also saw Barrett's arrival, and the one who came into contact yesterday also took the initiative to wave his hand.
Barrett, who sat down between the two, immediately made a gesture of please: "Okay! Man, could you please introduce this one? β
"He's my partner." A guy who looks like a young man said, I'm afraid that the middle-aged man next to him is in line with the real age of the guy in front of him! Just like the name of the game, the two people in front of them try not to have any direct connection between the characters in the game and reality.
"In that case, let's change places," said Barrett, snapping his fingers numerously, and it wasn't long before a freckled barmaid came to the table, "Is there anything I need help with this gentleman?" β
Barrett, who took out two silver coins and placed them on the table, asked, "Is there any room left in the little dark room upstairs?" β
"Yes sir! You'll be able to get about an hour. When the time comes, I'll go pull the bell. Now, please come with me. The little girl smiled and swept the silver coins onto the tray, and at the same time did not forget to explain something to the proprietress as she passed the bar.
The so-called dark room refers to the secret room in the tavern, and most taverns have such a facility - the roof and the four walls are covered with a double layer of linen with cotton wool, and the floor is covered with a thick blanket to keep the most discerning ears from eavesdropping. Since the door is locked from the inside and is seamless, once guests enter the secret room, they can talk about confidential topics without worrying about the walls.
After locking the door from the inside, Barretla opened a chair and sat down first: "Now is the right time, gentlemen, please show your sincerity!" β
The middle-aged man's cloak was opened at once, and from there a luxurious heraldic shield was placed on the table. This was followed by a delicately crafted brooch, which radiated a dazzling brilliance even in the dim light of the room.
"An ornamented ceremonial shield (usually the one used to hang on the wall), and a noble brooch that is likely to be recorded in the book with a mark." Barrett's face suddenly became a little ugly: "Two gentlemen, are you allowed to swear me?" β
"Please don't, we only later learned that we were severely cheated by those aborigines!" Das was the one in charge of the transaction between the two, and immediately began to play a round.
It seems that during the previous distribution of spoils, the two inexperienced players seemed to have been fooled by the aborigines. This is not only a monetary loss, but also a heavy psychological blow to the player - human beings always have a natural sense of superiority over these 'lives' generated by numbers in the game.
"If I could, I would forget about the qiΔ related to these items after I left this door today. As a fellow player, I would like to give you a word of advice, you are really in trouble. Barrett said with a frown.
The middle-aged man among the two seems to be the real speaker: "So how much can you debut for?" β
"I'll probably give 5o gold for the shield. The brooch is just too hot to get your hands on. Barrett shook his head, "I can't think about how my life will be affected now." β
"5o gold is a little too little." The expressions on the faces of the two people in front of them were not very satisfied.
Barrett also looked embarrassed: "If this ornament comes from a normal way, of course it will be far more than the current price." But you know, even if I go through the channel, it's hard to say how much profit I will make at such a price. β
