Chapter 658: The Contractor
"The next thing to track ...... Gotta find a reason, run into the desert, and happen to be on the same road with others, there has to be a reason, right? Frost Knight, frost effect, your battle character card can't be used for two turns, Lecclin, you can't, I thought you were a great guy. ”
Watching the Frost Knight on the table smash Leckolin's steel puppet with a hammer and make a triumphant move, the crouching Tide raised his paw and grabbed a stack of about 5 gold coins under him, and the two were playing the popular magic card duel, betting 5 gold coins, and the person next to him could also raise.
"It's yours, August, and you've made the right choice. ”
Divide the other pile of gold coins under Abel and Bazaar into three parts, one for August, an old fellow, one for Martin, and one for himself, although the first meeting was not very pleasant, but the future will be together for a period of time, and the communication between several people is naturally inevitable, at first it was Kailot chatting with August, and El Murphy was able to do so. Bird was an admirer of August, and from time to time he said a few words to him, and then several others joined in, and even Lecclin, a prickly head who didn't seem to get along well, inevitably blended in in in the end, and even in the end he was the best relationship between Kylot and August.
Of course, this relationship is actually relatively speaking, Abel Baird, a religious fanatic, all he talks about all day is the content of some cult canons, and he always wants to develop other people here into it, like a pyramid scheme.
Luther Martin, a wizard of unknown ability, had an unimaginable obsession with money, so much so that Kelott initially thought he was a bounty hunter, only to pass by his common room by chance and find a human head on his bed that had not yet been stripped of its flesh...... If you don't talk about it, you won't be able to talk about it.
Bazaar Leah, this woman is good at what she says and full of wind and dust, obviously she is a high-level professional, but every day she walks back and forth in the nearby carriage and sees a woman who looks good...... That's right, it's a woman! Using mind control to bring people back to their cars, and putting people back after the thing is done, listening to the moans in his ears, what else can Kylott say?
"Damn, you guy, what a disgusting deck, who gave you the deck?"
Lecorin is a little withdrawn, but compared to others, he is a normal person, the two of them play spell cards, they can talk to some extent, his feeling is estimated to be similar to that of Kailot, there is a comparison, there is a gap.
"Just follow them from afar, don't conflict with them outside, as long as you find the ruins, you can dispose of them inside, you need to pay attention to the people of the Holy Blood Hermitage, they are the biggest enemies of this operation, according to the intelligence, they also have thoughts about the ruins, they must know our existence, pay more attention to your actions, you have made an oath, if you want to continue to hold the power of God, then show your sincerity." ”
When talking about the mission, August's attitude is always rigorous, even if he was still talking and laughing in the last moment.
"The power of God...... Sure enough, no matter what the force is, they all want to use flowery terms to modify something with evil colors. ”
On the way back to prepare his luggage, Kairot was still thinking about the so-called power of God, and it was not useless to mix with these people patiently, nor was it that Kailott was too idle to do anything, even if he didn't take the initiative to talk in order not to arouse suspicion, Kailott still knew something that was secret to the outside world through some daily ridicule and communication with each other.
The existence of demonic contractors is not uncommon within black, the problem is that the power of these contractors seems to have a certain time limit, and Kelot has heard words like "keep", "inherit", and "give" from Abel Byrd or August more than once.
Through speculation and association, Kailot believes that Black may have communicated with a large number of demons, and also made certain deals with them, such as the granting of power, and in general, the relationship between demons and demon contractors can be compared to master and servant, and the demons have a direct give-and-demand relationship with the contractor.
But if Kellot's guess is correct, black now inserts a kick between the two sides, turning it into an employment relationship with a weaker bond, as a simple example, for example, the previous Mr. Sea Devil is still alive, and he has to devour souls in order to regain his strength, right?
So where did these souls come from, do you find them yourself, and what if you meet a "bad guy" like Kailot?
Usually this is the time for the demon contractor to show his loyalty, but it is precisely at this time that the black chess stands up and says don't look for it, not only to provide spot, but also to be on call, pain soul, desperate soul, what to give, weigh the two, the demon is such a shrewd existence, how can he not know how to choose.
As the price of the transaction, what black chess wants is the allegiance of the demon contractors, and in this way, unconsciously, black chess through the exchange of interests with the demons, so it gets the command of the demon contractors, and in order to ensure the seriousness of the demon contractors, it also specially sets up a time-limited demon power to give.
The above is Kailot's guess, whether it is correct or not is not yet known, but even if it is correct, it will not be of much use, because if you want to stop black, you need to face a large group of powerful demon contractors!
"Passengers, the train is about to arrive at Saru City Railway Station, please prepare your luggage......"
At 3 p.m., the train finally arrived at its destination.
"Mr. Kailot, where are you going?"
"I'm wandering around, I'm here for treasure hunting, what are you going to do next?" ”
Putting on the sunhat for the tide, Kailot's mood was not high, he didn't feel anything before, but now when the car door opened and the heat wave outside poured into the car, he realized the oppressive water elemental environment around him, which made him feel uncomfortable.
"I'm with Helen and them, and it's not safe to be alone here. ”
"Heh, didn't you say you didn't need her to care about it before? After all, it's a brother and sister, and there's no contradiction that can't be solved, right?"
Kylott hasn't communicated much with Geralt these days, and the latter's attitude towards his sister and the team under her seems to have changed drastically in the past few days, and he can occasionally be seen chatting with the people inside in recent times.
Could it be that he has been developed into a comrade with the same lofty goals?
Carrying his bag on his back, he walked off the train with the tide, and on the platform, Kelot saw Fiora again, and beside Les, talking and laughing, he stayed on the platform for a few minutes, watching Auguste and the others appear one by one, and then went in different directions.
Break it into pieces, this is their tracking strategy, multi-person huddles, the goal is too big, Les has his own team, as the person selected as a companion of the Holy Grail Warriors, there may be anti-tracking masters in this team, and elite professionals not only represent their proficiency in combat, but also reflect in all aspects.
Early exposure is unnecessary, but competitors in the shadows must also be guarded against, so August also reminded a few people to be careful.
"Hey...... Where are they going to leave tonight...... Understand, I'll be on time. ”
Put down the communicator, this is Auguste distributed as a communication use, this communicator is not available on the market, not affected by the city signal tower, directly using a short-distance circle of communication, due to the uniqueness of the internal communication array, and is not afraid of being intercepted by outsiders.
Les and the others are preparing to leave for the Salaha Desert tonight, probably because they are guarding against outsiders.
"Strange, when they are leaving, August knows so quickly...... I'm still having some trouble...... Hello, how do you get to the trading house in the city?"
The Salaha Desert is visited by a large number of professional teams every year, and the amount of things found is huge, and it is not possible to digest them internally, so it is natural to take them outside and sell them for a good price, just like the two bounty hunters who came to Dragon's Tooth Island to sell slates, if Qingshu did not send out the information about the purchase of ancient characters, they would probably also send it to the trading house.
With a few hours left before dark, Kailot was ready to go to the trading house, although it was still some way from the Salaha Desert, but it was not ruled out that someone was selling what he wanted here, and if he didn't go to see it, he was always worried about missing something.
Walking on the street, as the only big city near the Salaha Desert, although there are no high-rise buildings in Oushelin or Duoluntu, but also because of its unique geographical location and produce a unique enthusiasm and wild atmosphere, in the early spring, pedestrians are still short-sleeved shirts, especially girls are competing to show their good figures, attracting men to whistle non-stop.
"This handsome guy, do you want to come and have fun~ Our service here is quite hot...... If you don't play, you won't play, what are you doing so rudely. ”
Kailott is wearing a floral shirt for a beach vacation, the two sleeves of the collar are generously open, and the strong pectoralis muscles are exposed, no wonder the scantily clad girls on the side of the road will stick it up, if such a customer can pull it, it can be regarded as a double harvest of money, but unfortunately Kailott does not have this idea at the moment, maybe others will have a special interest in the hot environment, but he really only feels bored.
The particularity of the bloodline makes him feel like a fish in water in the sea or other environments rich in water elements, but it also makes Kailott uncomfortable in this environment, fortunately, his current strength is strong enough, and he is a pure spirit level powerhouse, even if it is negatively affected by the environment, his strength will not be greatly weakened.
The trading house is an important building, different in nature from the station, and the location is closer to the city center, and after walking a while, Kailott stopped the car on the street and took the car instead, and when he crossed an intersection, he encountered traffic and stopped for a while.
"It's so hot, this environment is really uncomfortable, I knew I should bring some aquamarine crystal balls, you can be comfortable, maybe you can buy them in the trading house later, what's wrong? ”
Kelot was studying the map that the bounty hunter had given him in his hand, when he stumbled upon the tide by the window, staring intently at something.
Woo~
Shioru nudged Kylot's cheek with his palm, motioning for him to lean in.
"It's a coincidence, isn't that right...... Does he know anyone here? Or ...... Well done, if you hadn't reminded me, maybe I would have missed it, and if I wanted to eat later, I would have a treat. ”
Looking out of the window, Kylot's face changed, and as the traffic in front of him cleared, the taxi he was in also began to move slowly, pulling out a medicinal cigar and lighting it, and the thick and mellow pale cyan smoke drifted out of the gap in the window.
The fare of 3 silver coins was more expensive than in other cities, and Kailot didn't bother to bargain with the driver, smoking a cigar, and striding close to the trading house.
"I'm looking for this kind of thing, and the focus is not on the stones, but on the ancient characters on it, can you see it? I'm a collector, and I've been collecting this stuff lately, money, it's not a problem, I think you know what I mean. ”
After entering the trading house, Kailot expressed his intention very bluntly, as long as it was something related to ancient characters, he didn't mind buying it and looking at it, and would rather be the wronged boss than let go of anything in this regard.
"Sorry, we don't have one here. ”
The deacon's answer was unusually sharp, and Kelot's words fell, and he paused for less than two seconds before he opened his mouth to speak.
"Are you...... What kind of prejudice is there against me? I don't even want to do anything to save face, and when I ask, I just don't think I'm very good!"
Isn't the other party's attitude perfunctory in Kailot's eyes? narrowing his glasses slightly, the smoke of the cigar still slowly fills out of his mouth, just in a bad mood, if the other party does not give him a satisfactory answer, he is not ready to leave.
"You misunderstood, it's not that we're perfunctory to you, in fact, just yesterday, someone came over and asked the same question as you, all similar things in our trading house have been taken away by the other party, you came a step late, and there is really nothing left. ”
"Hmm...... You guys often collect stuff like this?"
"It's just yesterday that I didn't know if you could give me some information if you wanted, and our trading firm could pay me a certain amount of compensation. ”
For two days in a row, some people wanted to buy ancient writing objects, and they were all big bags to buy them all, and the trading house naturally muttered.
"Do you have the contact information of the other party? ”
"This, no comment, the privacy of customers, we need to protect, if it is leaked, our store will not be able to open for so many years. ”
"Well, I know, the rules, I've always been a person who abides by the rules, so I can always tell what the other party looks like, right? ”
A gold coin is thrown into the hands of the waiter, and there is always something that can be accommodated outside of the rules.
