Chapter 502: Black Hoe Family Intelligence Acquisition
As early as a month ago, in order to find the resurrected Orochimaru, Jiraiya posted a bounty on the black market for the news of buying the Orochimaru.
Trading on the black market is also slightly different from a money exchange, which uses local coins to pay a fixed amount of bounty depending on the country in which the money is exchanged.
In contrast, the black market transactions are more complex, whether it is intelligence, items, or heads, the transaction methods are divided into buying and selling, and the volume of transactions and the complexity of the transaction objects are far beyond the comparison of gold exchange.
It is very troublesome to exchange coins between countries in the black market, so black market transactions do not use coins issued by any one country, but use gold coins with common value.
The coin of the Land of Fire is "taels", and the price of one gold coin is about 10,000 taels, which means that Jiraiya put up an attractive bounty of up to 80 million taels just to buy information about Orochimaru.
Before the spread of the Fishman Gold Coins, which are a specialty of the Land of Waves, the price of one gold coin was as high as 12,000 taels.
This is enough to show how many gold coins have been circulating in the country of waves over the years, which is enough to affect the overall price of gold coins.
And even at the current price of gold, the bounty offered by Jilai is enough to buy the heads of two elite shinobi in the Fire Nation Gold Exchange, and there is still a lot of money left.
This shows how important Orochimaru's status is in Jiraiya's heart.
However, this also shows that Jilai is also a real rich man, and the copyright fee of "Intimate Paradise" makes Jilai a real invisible rich.
Or there is no one among the three ninjas who can't make money, Tsunade relies on medical skills, Uncle Snake relies on research, and he also relies on writing books.
It's just that all the money earned by Tsunade is spent on gambling, and all the money earned by Uncle Snake's research is also invested back into research.
...
At the moment, Jiraiya saw that the other side had been silent for a long time and hadn't spoken, so he took the lead and asked, "Hey, do you really know where the Great Snake Pill is?" ”
"If you're here to cheat money, I'm not going to spare you!"
Jiraiya's words made Shui Yue on the other side of the glass swallow his saliva, if someone else said this, Shui Yue still had some doubts about whether the other side had the ability to do this.
But the person sitting in front of him has such a strong ability to listen to breathing, and his skills are definitely not bad.
And the black market is not a gathering place for good men and women, knowing that the black market is "black" enough, and daring to come out with such a huge amount of money to offer a reward, it shows that he is not afraid of being targeted by bad people.
But fortunately, he did know Orochimaru's hiding place, and he didn't want to cheat money, so he didn't panic in his heart.
"There are many hiding places for Orochimaru, I can only tell you what I know, as for where he is hiding now, you need to find them one by one."
"First of all, the northern stronghold, located in..."
Next, Mizuki told all the four strongholds of Orochimaru that he knew to Jiraiya on the other side of the glass.
However, when Shuiyue finished talking about the last stronghold, the person on the other side of the glass denied Shuiyue's answer.
"Your intelligence is not good, I have been to the four strongholds you mentioned, and now these four strongholds are completely empty, and Orochimaru is not in it at all."
After speaking, the electronic horn heard the sound of the person on the other side getting up and preparing to leave his seat.
Hearing this voice, Shui Yue immediately became anxious.
If you don't get this bounty, you won't be able to get the information about the Black Hoe family on the spot.
This is completely unacceptable to Shui Yue, who is in such an urgent mood to obtain the ninja knife now, so Shui Yue immediately opened his mouth to save it.
"Wait a minute! I also know the location of some of Orochimaru's secret laboratories, although it is not at the level of a stronghold, but Orochimaru often conducts some experiments in it, maybe Orochimaru will be hiding in it now. ”
Mizuki's words rekindled the interest of Jiraiya behind the glass opposite, and Jiraiya sat back in his chair and listened to Suzuki tell the rest of the locations one by one.
Next, Shuiyue said eight locations in one breath, all of which were some of Orochimaru's secret laboratories, and these were all the information that Shuiyue knew.
"Alright, that's it."
Shui Yue felt that the information in his stomach was hollowed out in one breath, and the person on the other side of the glass finally gave an affirmative answer.
"I've written down all your information, and the black market will pay you the advance payment later, and the final payment will wait for me to confirm whether the Great Snake Pill is really here before paying you."
On the other side of the glass, Jiraiya memorized these eight complex locations from memory alone.
Jirai, who has traveled to various countries for many years, is also familiar with various places in the ninja world, and Jirai also knows that the eight new addresses that Mizuki said are not made up casually.
In addition, Mizuki really said the four strongholds of Orochimaru right just now, so Jiraiya judged that the information this time was true.
In fact, Jiraiya originally only knew about Orochimaru's two strongholds, but a few days ago, Tsunade sent a letter saying that Orochimaru's former subordinates took the initiative to come to Konoha Village to seek protection, and explained the remaining two strongholds of Orochimaru.
Jiraiya hurried to the remaining two strongholds, but these two places were empty.
Unlike the base manager of Red Lotus, Water Moon is a very good experiment, and Orochimaru basically brings Water Moon with him every time he develops a new laboratory, so Water Moon knows a lot of laboratory locations compared to Red Lotus.
...
After the transaction was completed, the staff of the black market deducted 15% of the handling fee and paid 3,400 gold coins to Suiyue, and Suiyue used 100 of them to directly buy the information of the Black Hoe family.
The Black Hoe family is entrenched in the sorrel gold mine, one of the major mining villages in Kawanokuni.
Eight years ago, a group of scoundrels calling themselves the "Black Hoe Family" entered the village under the guise of protecting it.
The family soon took over the village with violence, killing innocents, extortion, and committing all kinds of evil in the village.
At first, there were attempts to resist, or to go to the outside world to bring in reinforcements, but all of them failed.
In recent years, the family has become synonymous with local "terror", and the entire family has become a religious organization, with people within the family calling each other "brothers" and regular killing ceremonies more frequent.
These are all the information that Shuiyue bought for 100 gold, and the content of the information is more superficial and sloppy, but at least I know the location, but I need to investigate the rest of the story.
"The Black Hoe Thunder Tooth probably defected from Wuyin Village eight years ago, and this Black Hoe family also happened to appear eight years ago."
"It's definitely not a coincidence."
Shui Yue said.
