"Hehe, it turns out that you are Lord Tony's daughter, Zabas really has eyes and doesn't know the pearl! Zabas apologized.

"Do you have anything to do with us?" said Deliss angrily, apparently holding back the fire in her stomach from the unhappiness she had just made.

"Hey, I'm looking for this gentleman, to be exact. Zabas pointed at Aaron and smiled.

"Me?" said Aaron, surprised.

"Yes, sir. Can you go over there and talk? Zabas has something to ask Your Excellency. Zabas laughed.

Aaron and Delis glanced at each other, and the woman said generously to Aaron, "Then you go, remember not too long, the chef will not leave dinner for you." ”

"Haha, you're so funny. I'm just a little thing, and I definitely won't delay this gentleman too much, and I'm here to keep this gentleman safe in the name of the Olu people. But Mr. Lady's safety, you seem, is it an unnecessary concern, Ms. Delis!" Zabas snorted.

Naturally, Delis didn't believe what he said, so she turned around and left alone after a little reminder.

As for Aaron, of course, he didn't believe that the other party had any small things to discuss with him, but in the blink of an eye, his heart moved, and he looked at Zabas expressionlessly for a while, and then asked playfully: "Mr. Zabas, I don't know if I can help you with anything?"

"Oh, excuse my presumptuousness, Aaron, may I allow me to call you that, for I feel like I and you are at first sight, sir. Zabas looked like an old acquaintance and tried to hook up with Aaron.

Nothing to do, either treachery or theft!Aaron's instincts told him that this Zabas must have some ulterior motives.

"Yes, Mr. Zabas, if you wish!" replied Arlen as he looked around at his surroundings.

"Haha, that's great. Actually, I've been keeping an eye on you since you entered the exchange. The entire exchange can be said to have everything you need, but you go around and around this exchange, going in and out several times, and finally stop in front of that little magic crystal......"

"So?"

"This crystal is not actually a magic crystal, and very few people recognize it, at least not many here in Memphis City. Of course, I'm one of those few. Zabas said proudly.

"Not a magic crystal?" Aaron said in surprise. Although he has been exposed to very few magic crystals, to put it mildly, very little, most of the basic characteristics of magic crystals have something in common.

"Yes, don't you know this thing, man, why did Konny become curious about it and buy it with a lot of money? You know, ordinary people would never pay for it, not even if they asked them to pull out an Ore!" Zabas asked in surprise, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"That's true, Mr. Zabas. I just had a strange feeling when I passed by, and I didn't think much about buying it. Aaron's words were truthful, unpretentious, and his sincere tone greatly reduced Zabas's doubts.

"Alright, then let's get down to business!" Zabas glanced at the crowd around him and pulled Aaron into a narrow, remote alleyway.

"This thing is a gemstone called amethyse, which is mostly found in areas with soft saline and alkaline soils. Zabas spoke with a hint of excitement.

"So?"

"Hey man, you seem to be close to that Mistress Tony's daughter, the beautiful Miss Delis!" Zabas replied, but his eyes still couldn't hide his heartfelt excitement, as if he had seen a treasure that had yet to be explored.

"Well, I can't talk about it. It just happened to be coming to Memphis together. Aaron said lightly. Now, he had vaguely guessed that this Zabas was going to hook up with Delis, or the Silver Fox Army behind her. Maybe it's because of his low status, so he has to get in touch with that side by himself.

It is not yet known what Zabas's plans or conspiracy are, but it doesn't hurt to hear about it.

"Aha, it doesn't matter, man. Come, I'll tell you......" Zabas glanced out of the alley again, then lowered his voice and said: "This amethyst is one of the dragons' favorite food, and I know where there are asterite mines that have not yet been discovered and developed, as long as you and I join forces, then we can make a good fortune." Oh no, not a windfall, but a long-term one, my dear fellow, you know what I mean?" Zabas's eyes flashed with a hot fire, which made Aaron suspect that he had run into a nervous disorder.

"But, dear Mr. Zabas, why do you have to find me, with your connections and wealth, it should be easy to do it on your own, right?" complimented Allen. Although I don't know the identity and strength of the other party, a compliment can always make the other party feel a little more comfortable.

Sure enough, after hearing Aaron's compliment, Zabas's face suddenly rose with pride and complacency, and he said proudly: "Actually, I won't tell you anything, I, Zabas, have joined the mercenary group since I was a child and traveled south and north for decades, and now after quitting, I have been running around in Memphis City and all over the empire for business, and I have met a lot of people with backgrounds." It's just ......" Zabas said this, suddenly becoming a little frustrated and unwilling.

"Go on, sir. If there is any difficulty, I will definitely help if Alun can help. Aaron encouraged.

"Alas-" With a long sigh, as if there was endless melancholy and unwillingness, Zabas continued: "Okay, I, Zabas, will open up to you today, and I will also express a little sincerity for our next cooperation." I'm Zabas............"

It turned out that this Zabas, like most of the merchants and vendors in Memphis, was either a mercenary, an adventurer, a troubadour, a court servant, etc., and later threw himself into the merchant sea, hoping to get rich overnight and become one of the people in power who manipulated life and death in this drunken and money-obsessed land.

It's just that behind the prosperous trade of Memphis, it is also a monster that devours countless greedy, gold diggers, and gamblers, which not only greedily devours the money of these people, but also ruthlessly devours their ambition, fighting spirit, hope, and will......

Only a handful of people can tame this monster and stand tall at the top of Memphis's highest power, accepting the worship and jealousy and even resentment of countless people.

Zabas is one of the many people who are frustrated, but his quest for wealth remains alive. When he was a mercenary in his early years, he went to the province of Aquitania and discovered an extremely hidden amethyst mine in a remote area, which no one knew about at all. To this day, no one knows that there is a hidden treasure that can make countless people crazy.

Although Zabas doesn't know what Arun has to do with the Silver Fox Legion, he can walk with Lord Tony's daughter, and the relationship will not be low. If you want to get rich, then you first have to find a big tree to shelter yourself from the wind and rain.

Now, Zabas alone could not mine the amethy mine alone with his own financial resources and manpower. Even if we have the capital and manpower to barely exploit a small part of these quarries, I am afraid that it will be impossible to find a superior to buy a large number of these amethy stones. Ordinary people don't understand, people who know goods don't buy so much, and people who buy a lot of goods can't climb on their own, let alone whether there will be thieves or people from some power group to harass and rob during the mining process.

"This, is the amethyst stone mine you said really exist?" Alun was moved, such a big pile of treasures, it would be fake to say that he was not impressed.

In the Empire, in order to become a strong man, money, wealth, and network of relationships are essential. At the very least, in Aaron's cognition, those strong people who are high up and change the color of the world between their hands, I haven't heard of anyone who has nothing to do with the grand duke, prince, and consortium.

Perhaps, these people still have to live according to the rules of the world before they become proud of the world.

"Of course, my brother, am I Zabas like a bullshit bastard?" Zabas said a little ashamedly, what he said was a secret that had been buried in his heart for decades, and it was so hurtful to make people suspicious.

"No, no, no, Zabas, my dear brother, of course I don't doubt everything you say, I'm just confirming it. Aaron hurriedly said.

"Oh, don't worry, man. I, Zabas, never speak empty words. Zabas calmed his anger a little and whispered.

So, in the narrow alley, two figures, one big and one small, quietly and sneakily planned their fortune plan. Plans similar to theirs are being played out in Memphis City all the time, because this is the land of merchants.

Aaron and Zabas agreed that no matter how much they did not cooperate in four months at the latest, they would definitely give him an answer. After all, there are still ten days left until the investigation team of the Holy See and the Imperial Capital arrives in Narnia, and this matter will probably be delayed for a long time, right?

After agreeing on the contact method with Zabas, Aaron left the vicinity of the exchange. The scene of Memphis City was so lively that Aaron saw that it was still early, and was not in a hurry to go back, and unconsciously followed the road away from the center of Memphis activities and came to the outskirts.

Compared to the city, the suburbs are different. Towering mountains, meandering rivers, streams, and shady woods make Memphis a perfect blend of movement and stillness, and everything seems to complement each other perfectly.

Just as Aaron lingered on this rare beauty in the suburbs, suddenly a few rapid breaths from behind him came to his eardrums.

I saw a middle-aged man dressed as a soldier looking panicked, his clothes were torn and tattered by something, and the whole person looked very embarrassed. Through the cracked area, several deep wounds could be seen under the clothes, and crimson blood was oozing out.
