Chapter 4: Conspiracy
Mag and the others stopped at the gate of the city. Before entering the city, I felt the prosperity of this port city at the gate outside the city, with cars coming and going, crowds of people, and bustling. As a last resort, a long queue formed outside the door.
If you want to enter the city, you have to pay a certain amount of gold coins, and in cities with many nobles, like the imperial capital, no homeless people are allowed. However, in port cities like this, transportation hubs, economically developed cities, and cities with fast currency circulation, the fees charged are not very large. However, it also reached a gold coin per person. The currency conversion of Tianxuan is equal to ten silver coins in one gold coin. One silver coin is equal to ten copper coins, so the price of one gold coin is not too low.
Under Mage's anxious expression, it was their turn to wait for a while, and then I saw Mag take out a token from his arms and show it to the guards and soldiers, the officers and soldiers nodded, and with a wave of their hands, they let go. Turry looked curiously at the token in Mag's hand, and heard Turley's voice of explanation.
"Usually the larger chambers of commerce will spend money to buy a token like that, which is very necessary in a city like this hub. It's not expensive, though. My brother has a piece. ”
Saying this, I saw Turley turn his head, look at the long queue behind him, his eyes swept over the crowd waiting to enter the city, his face was suspicious, and he turned his head and became silent.
The city of Kuyt, the second largest port city in Simon. A must for the major chambers of commerce, each of which has an office in such a city. And the House Chamber of Commerce is certainly no exception. "Turry, Turley, you go to the Ocean Hotel and wait for me first, I'll go out for a while, and I'll invite you to dinner when I come back in the evening." You can now shop around. Buy whatever you need, and put it in my name. "A man with deep pockets like Mag is not stingy.
"Okay, Brother Mag, you go and get busy, if there's anything you need to help find someone to call us. Turi said sincerely.
"Well, thank you, it's just a little bit of business at home, it's easy to deal with, I'll go first. Mag nodded, waved his hand and led two of his men to the south of the city.
There are shops, inns, bars, and small stalls on both sides. Turi, who was a little excited to see it, couldn't take his eyes off it. There are not so many shops in a city like the imperial capital. Not to mention the stalls. Selling materials on all kinds of monsters, selling medicines, selling magic scrolls, you name it.
"Excuse me, what kind of magic is this scroll and how much does it cost?" asked the stall owner, pointing to a green scroll. In the imperial capital, Turui obviously patronized cultivation and didn't go shopping much. In Giggs's words, "your own strength is the most important thing." ”
"Oh, this is a wind-based wind blade magic, and it's an intermediate magic. It only takes a little mental power or a little fighting energy to stimulate it. It is equivalent to the magic performed by a magic apprentice. The price is only twenty gold coins. Very cheap. The stall owner introduced enthusiastically.
"What about this one. Turry asked, pointing to another yellow scroll.
"This is an earth-based earth binding magic, an intermediate control class. Price: Thirty gold coins. ”
"Oh, it's cheap, so I'll buy these two. Turi took out fifty gold coins and bought them as the stall owner became more enthusiastic.
At this moment, Turley grabbed Toury's arm from behind and dragged him briskly towards the Ocean Hotel that Mag had told them.
"What's the matter, brother?" Turry didn't know what was going on, and he looked suspicious.
"Let's talk about it at the hotel. Turley's face was a little gloomy. Something said to the attendant behind him. The two henchmen turned and walked south.
"Hello, sir, it costs seven gold coins for a night's stay, how many do you want?" asked the innkeeper.
"One. Turley clearly didn't want to say anything more.
"Sir, wait a minute, this is your room key, room 202 on the second floor, you can see it when you turn left upstairs. ”
Turley grabbed the keys, paid for the day's room, and took Turry upstairs.
"Two big men open a room??" The hotel service seemed to remember something, and a weird smile appeared on his face......
As soon as you enter the room. "What's going on? Toury seemed to realize something.
"Did you feel as if someone was watching us all the time when you entered the city?" said Turley, solemnly.
"I feel a little bit when you say that, but so what?" asked Toury.
"But after Mag left, that feeling suddenly disappeared, what do you mean?" Turley analyzed.
Toury also became serious. "You're saying someone is spying on Mag, why?"
"As far as I know, my family hasn't had any conflicts with anyone, and you are also dedicated to cultivation, and you have just debuted, so it is unlikely that you will spy on us because of the two of us. Judging from Brother Mag's anxious demeanor all the way, there must have been a trivial incident at home that was not as small as he said, and you also said that he was in a hurry when he lost his ticket. It seems that a ferry ticket is important. What does that mean?" said Turry, listening quietly to Turley's analysis. "This shows that Brother Mag wants to go to the country of Astor soon. The ticket is for this evening, and if it had been this afternoon, Brother Mag probably wouldn't have rested in that town. Will definitely come to Kuyt overnight. What does the ticket mean, anxious, watched......" Turley said a little uncertainly, and then fell into deep thought.
At this time, Turui stood up, "No matter how good and comprehensive the analysis and reasoning is, it is better to go to the scene and take a look, seeing is believing." Anyway, the two of us don't have much to do, so let's go out and have a look, maybe we'll find something. ”
"That's right, let's go. Turley also stood up and walked out.
Turley and Turry walked down the stairs and made a quick walk to the inn door.
The hotel service saw that the two of them went downstairs after a while, and became more and more determined in their thoughts......
As soon as he reached the door, he saw two of Turley's attendants walking towards the inn. "How's that?" said Turley, asking the two henchmen.
"South of the city, at the corner of Fourth Street. The attendant, named Harry, said very succinctly. Obviously not the first time I've done something like this. "Go and wait for us on the boat, see if my brother needs help with anything, you don't need to do it here. With a wave of his hand, Turley walked towards the south of the city.
"Let's go straight to the south of the city with such a serious face, obviously startling the snake. Let's walk slowly around the east of the city. See what the hell is going on. Turry said calmly.
"Okay, relax your expression, hey, I'm like this when I encounter analyzing things, I hope we're more careful. Turley smiled wryly.
The two walked on the streets in the east of the city, looking left and right, talking and laughing in a low voice from time to time, and slowly approached the south of the city. Coincidentally, he walked in front of the stall again, and this time he spent more than 300 gold coins to buy a lot of magic scrolls, ground stabbing techniques, water shield techniques, wind blade techniques, etc. In Turley's words, "Be prepared." The stall owner's mouth was almost to the root of his ears, as if he had never caught up with such a big business in his life. Turry and Turley turned and walked south under the stall owner's "Thank you, welcome back" tones.
After a short time, the two of them came to Fourth Street, located in the south of the city, and there was a pharmacy in a few shops not far from the House Chamber of Commerce. Tu Rui said something to the boss absentmindedly, took out the gold coins and bought a few medicines, and looked back at the House Chamber of Commerce opposite from time to time. But then Turley bowed his head again and fell into deep thought.
"It's nothing, I haven't seen any suspicious people or suspicious things. Turry bowed his head and whispered in Turley's ear.
"Suspicious ......" Turley's body shook as if he had thought of something, and said to Toury, "You watch here first, and I'll go to my brother's boat to have a look." He turned and walked out of the pharmacy.
At that moment, the attendant named Harry suddenly ran towards Turley. "Second son, there is a disturbance on the side of the eldest prince's boat, and the eldest prince seems to be a little injured, you can go and take a look. Turry saw it and followed. "What's going on?" Turry asked.
"There's an accident on my brother's boat......" Turley and Turry looked at each other, realizing the seriousness of the problem.
"You're right, it's for Brother Mag, let's go, let's go see your brother first. Turry and Turley ran quickly towards the docks......
"If you don't explain this matter to me today, you won't have to think about it today. I saw five big men surrounding a young man who looked to be twenty-seven or eighteen years old. The young man leaned into the arms of the bodyguard behind him, and the blood on his left arm slowly ran down the fingers of his hanging hand. There were eight empty boxes in the middle of the two groups. Apparently there should be some goods in the box.
Turry pulled Turley and stood outside the crowd, and Turry snorted at Turley to the young man. Then Turley and his henchman Harry pushed through the crowd and walked towards the two groups with gloomy faces. However, Toury did not go in with him.
"Brother, what's going on. Turley asked softly to the young man.
"They said that the monster materials worth 180,000 gold coins in the eight boxes they had placed on the ship were missing, and that we were a black ship and wanted to search our ship, and before I could say anything, I was stabbed by his men. Then his brother whispered in his ear, "They are a great samurai, three high-ranking samurai, and one magician. ”
"Hmph, the steward is here, what do you say about this. Dahan said with a disdainful expression.
At this time, Turley bowed his head to the butler who was in charge of counting the goods and asked what was going on. I saw Turley raise his head and say, "You have no problem if you want to search the ship, but may I ask, what if you can't find it?"
"If you can't find it, you'll have to pay if you can't find it! Anyway, you don't have to think about opening the ship today!" the big man shouted arrogantly.
"Don't you know what the law is?" said Turley, calmly.
"The law, the law hasn't come yet, the law, hahahaha......" The leader glanced around and continued: "The goods of our War Demon Society also dare to move, brothers let them see what the law is." With a wave of his hand, the big man prepared to make a move on the two Telley brothers. Hearing the name of the War Demon Society, everyone in the crowd shrank their necks and retreated a long distance, obviously the War Demon Society made them all afraid.
