Act 217 Intelligence Broker Old Ghosn (1st Update)

At night, the roads of Silverstar were as dead silent, and since the outbreak of the plague, this beautiful harbor has not been as prosperous as it once was.

Although the docks are still busy during the day, every ship is inspected before being allowed to enter the port.

Once, when a ship entered the port, it was discovered that all the crew members inside were infected with the plague, and the garrison officer was so frightened that the garrison hurriedly sent the navy to drag the fishing boat to the sea and burn it to ashes along with the crew! Since then, the inhabitants of Silverstar have become like frightened birds.

Two dark figures made their way quickly down the street, came to a tavern, looked around, and knocked on the door after making sure no one was following.

"It's coming, don't knock, why are there still people coming at this time?"

Through the crack in the door, two dark shadows saw the shopkeeper in the house complaining and walking over, and when the slightly drunk shopkeeper saw the two people outside dressed in black and wearing crow's beak masks, he immediately sobered up.

"Two ...... You two, we don't have any patients here! I swear! ”

"No, we're here for you."

"Looking for me?"

The shopkeeper was a little dazed, and at the same time felt that the voice was quite familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

The black-clothed elf said again, "Won't you let us in?" ”

"Uh...... Sorry, I forgot, please come in. ”

The two black-clad elves entered the empty tavern and immediately closed the door before they removed their crow's beak masks to reveal their true facesβ€”a human and an elf.

Humans are rare in Silverstar, but it's the elf that really surprises the shopkeeper.

"Gilnas!? Are you Gilnas!? Can...... Aren't you infected with the plague......"

At this point, the tavernkeeper's face turned white instantly, and his whole body trembled and he hid back.

"What's wrong?" At this time, someone shouted from the second floor, and then remembered the footsteps coming down the stairs.

"Nothing! Go upstairs and close the doors and windows! Don't come down! ”

The shopkeeper stared at Gilnas and said coldly, "Did you escape from the quarantine zone?" Well, just say what you want, as long as I have it for you! But please don't hurt my family! ”

Gilnas smiled bitterly, "Am I in your impression that this is the image?" Take a closer look at my face, is there still an abscess on it? ”

The shopkeeper leaned up suspiciously and looked at it carefully, and suddenly said in surprise: "You...... Your plague has been cured!? ”

Gilnas nodded, "Yes, healed!" ”

The shopkeeper suddenly became excited: "This ...... That's great! That's great! That damn plague is finally over!

By the way, why did you come to me dressed like this? Now that you have the medicine to cure the plague, you should go to the council immediately! ”

Gilnas smiled bitterly, "Old Ghosn, that's exactly why I came to you!" Remember what I asked you to look into before? ”

Old Ghosn nodded, as the largest and most veteran intelligence broker in the entire southern part of the island, he had been working with Gilnas for a long time, and this old patron had indeed taken care of a lot of his business some time ago.

"I found out that the regent Neilsa used the plague to attack the royal party, and after that I was thrown into the prison of the quarantine district! Now we've killed the guards and escaped.

Do you think I can swagger to the council in this situation? ”

Old Ghosn found a chair and sat down, he already understood the seriousness of the matter, if the regent Neilsa was really using the plague to attack the royal party, then he would definitely not allow Gilnas to take out the special medicine, waiting for her must be the harshest pursuit!

Gilnath continued, "Thankfully, that guy from Neirsa shouldn't have known about me here, and he'd thought I was just running away and finding a place to hide. ”

Old Ghosn nodded solemnly: "That's much easier, I can help you, through my door, you can contact some absolutely reliable councilors, and then you just need to hand over the special medicine to them, as long as the elf king is cured, Neilsa's conspiracy will go bankrupt!" ”

"But the problem now is that I don't have the medicine." Gilnas spread her hands and said, "That's the most urgent thing right now. The medicine was provided by the White Earl, who was also locked up at the time, and if we wanted to get more medicine, we would have to cross the sea to find him on the mainland. ”

"So you want me to get you a ship?" Old Ghosn thought for a moment and said, "That's no problem, I can do it in two days." So now there is only one question left - how are you going to pay the honorarium? As far as I know, you don't have a copper coin anymore, and you even owe a lot of debt, right? ”

Gilnas's face turned red and said angrily: "Forget about other things, how can you still ask for money for the plague!?" Old Ghosn, don't you want to end this damned plague quickly!? ”

Old Ghosn smiled: "Of course I want to, so even if I want to face the regent, I am willing to take this job, and I will give you a 20% discount!" So, where is my money? ”

After a "bang", old Ghosn noticed that the human who had come in with Gilnath had put several silver strands of metal on the table!

Old Ghosn picked up a piece of cushion and padded it uncertainly, and said in astonishment: "Mithril!?" ”

White Steel nodded: "That's right, it's Mithril." Don't know if it's enough to pay you? ”

Pilots in country A have standard gold coins to bribe enemy raiders they may encounter after parachuting, while the bribes carried by the exploration troops are much lighter - aluminum ingots.

Old Ghosn looked at the Mithril and swallowed his saliva, this light and easy-to-process metal with good demon-guiding properties is the favorite of the elves, every year Lunais Island imports a large amount of Mithril, which causes the price of Mithril on the island to be about twice as high as Anglia!

"Foot ...... Enough is enough! You are such a generous ......"

Old Ghosn's words of praise had just begun, only to find that Gilnas had snatched half of the Mithril on the table!

"Gilnas, that's my Mithril!"

Gilnas threw the Mithril in his hand and smiled proudly: "Old Ghosn, don't think I don't know your fees here, those on the table are enough to pay you, don't forget the eighty percent discount you just mentioned!" ”

Old Ghosn said hatefully: "I know! It's impossible to make more money in the hands of you, a guy who can't wait to sell himself! ”

Then, old Ghosn put on a kind and warm smile that made people subconsciously trust, and bowed slightly towards Bai Gang.

"It's rude not to introduce myself just now, my friends call me Old Ghosn, the best intelligence merchant in the whole South Island! Very, very honored to serve you! ”
