Chapter 323: The Guide
"Boss, have a glass of Gushan ale wine~" Lin Ze sat on the high stool by the bar and gently tapped on the wooden countertop.
"Come on~" A dwarf behind the bar stepped on the high table and poured a large glass of ale, "Your ale!" ”
Lin Ze took the wine glass, grabbed a small handful of gold coins and put them on the bar, and said in a low voice, "If you want to find a guide who is more familiar with the Dark Elf region, do you have any good recommendations, I need the kind with good integrity!" ”
The dwarf glanced at the gold coins on the table, turned his face away, and did not speak.
Lin Ze grabbed a small handful of gold coins and piled them on top of the gold coins just now.
"If you want to be familiar with the dark region, look for the dark elves, as for integrity, the dark elves have never had that kind of thing, you can choose the kind you can deal with, over there, in the corner near the fire, those dark elves are also considered regular customers, you can go and ask."
Several dark elves at the wine table had already focused their eyes on Lin Ze when he asked the tavern owner, it seemed that he was a newcomer, and they also asked the tavern owner to inquire, I don't know if the old ghost is very black-hearted.
"It seems that the introduction fee for a few of us is not cheap~" A dark elf saw Lin Ze coming over, and taunted Lin Ze and shook his slender eyebrows, "Stranger, are you looking for a guard or a guide?" ”
"I need a guide to go to the Dark Regions", Lin Ze looked at the six Dark Elves around the wine table, "I need to go to the City of the Dark Elves." ”
As soon as the three dark elves heard the guide, they immediately got up and took their wine glasses to sit down at the empty table on the other side.
"Oh, guide? Which city are you going to visit? ”
"I want to go to Sister Cities, I need a guide to go to Sister Cities!"
As soon as Lin Ze finished talking about sister cities, another dark elf went to the table next to him with a wine glass.
"Sister City, this is not easy to do, it doesn't look like you can enter the Sister City, the access control there is very strict, after all, it is a big city that guards the only exit of Star Tears, and it has the entire Star Tears specialty, but not just anyone can enter, do you have any voucher to enter?" The Dark Elf who spoke before pondered for a moment, and then replied to himself, "Seeing that you are a newcomer, there is definitely no normal way to enter the sister city, and the sister city is extremely far away from here, it takes a long time, and the cost is not low!" ”
"What price?"
"Thirty thousand gold back and forth, the down payment must not be less than 20%", the dark elf who spoke insisted on the price, "The price of the sister city is extremely high, and it is not easy to find a job over there, so you must calculate the cost of going back and forth, I hope you can understand." ”
Lin Ze was shocked in his heart, 30,000? He grimaced, "Can I pay for it in other ways, such as items?" ”
As soon as he heard this, another dark elf left with a wine glass, and in the end, only the dark elf who had been talking to Lin Ze was still sitting.
"Oh, it looks like you can't find your guide here~" The Dark Elf smiled happily.
"You don't want to either?"
"Me? Haha, I'll just say that you must be new here, otherwise how would you go to Lao Kirin to inquire, who doesn't know that I'm a broker here, only selling news and doorways", the dark elf replied in a low voice.
A few of the dark elves at the table next to him were also smiling happily.
Lin Ze looked at the dark elf calmly, without anger, expressionless, and waited until they finished laughing, before he unhurriedly grabbed two large handfuls of gold coins from the money bag, more than the one given to the tavern owner just now, and piled them on the table, "Since you are a broker, it is even better, I need a guide who can go to Sister City, and it is best to accept goods or weapons and the like, of course, it is really okay to ask for gold coins, but I can only take out 1000 gold for the down payment, if I can find it, then the money is yours!" ”
The Dark Elves were stunned for a moment, and quickly put away their smiles, "Sorry, we didn't have any malice just now", he solemnly explained, "To tell the truth, I know almost all the Dark Elves at the mouth of the Smolder's Furnace, but there is basically no willingness to accept goods or weapons as commissions, we are just mercenaries, not merchants, there is no channel to sell goods, it is very risky to sell alone, and the returns are unstable, so most people only accept employment that pays cash", the Dark Elf fell into deep thought, he was silent for a long time, Lin Ze didn't rush either.
"It seems that I can't help you find a suitable candidate, the vast majority of people will not accept your conditions, and the only two or three guys who are likely to agree are not there when they are hired to go out", the Dark Elf sighed, these intermediary fees are not earned, I have to say, this human is still very generous, here is much more than what he gave to the tavern owner just now.
Lin Ze was a little discouraged, did he want to change the way and divide the journey into several sections to hire a few guides? This is a bit difficult to do, because Lin Ze also plans to take a detour to the kind of small tribe that the big lord said to sell weapons and make some fame, if he divides into several sections to hire guides, I don't know if these guides are willing to take a detour, and it is a waste of time, or the kind of easy to hire from beginning to end.
The Dark Elf seemed to suddenly remember something, his face hesitated, and finally he said with a little embarrassment, "I know a guide who is not a good candidate...... He's in the right situation, no matter what conditions you give, he'll accept it, but ......"
"Let's talk about it~" Lin Ze stopped cleaning up the gold coins on the table when he heard this.
"It's just that you can only carry him as a guide......"
……
The civilian area at the mouth of the Darkflame Furnace is unusually crowded, the stone houses are next to each other, each stone house has a public staircase, divided into four floors, each floor has a total of two households, each household has only one small room, no toilet, all the civilians living here are using commode barrels, which are collected by the city, and Lin Ze is following a manure collection truck into the civilian area.
"Oh~God, this big lord is about to be fainted", the little black bird stood on Lin Ze's shoulder, one wing spread, and hid his head under the wings, "I said Lin Ze, you either go over, or stay far behind, so don't hurry or follow behind the dung truck, this big lord seriously doubts your IQ, well, and your nose~ Oh, damn it, is this a super poisonous gas mixed with the feces of different races~"
The little black bird continued to suggest, "You wait first, this great lord takes a deep breath, you take the opportunity to rush to the front of the dung truck, three, two, one, rush!" ”
Lin Ze was about to step forward quickly, when suddenly a shadow next to him jumped up directly from behind, and then ran over, it was a guy riding a swift dragon, Lin Ze just gave way, and he had been delayed for a long time.
"Whew~ I can't hold it back, this big lord is going to die, you stupid, I can't stand it~ This big lord will go to the front and wait for you first!" The little black bird kicked hard and quickly flew from Lin Ze's shoulder to the front~
