Chapter 002: Profiteers

After the two finished discussing, according to the usual practice, they immediately searched the items on their bodies, and each found the following two props:

【Return to the City Scroll】×1

[Description: A magic scroll made of parchment, engraved with an array of runes of spatial magic, which, when activated, opens a portal to the nearest safe area.] 】

[Rarity: White.] 】

[Effect: Open a portal to the nearest safe area, the portal is only allowed to enter and exit the opener, when you enter the portal and return, the power of the portal will dissipate.] 】

【Number of uses:1】

Identification Scroll ×1

[Introduction: A magic scroll sealed with the power of identification, once activated, it will release magical power, identifying items of unknown history but clearly containing mysterious powers.] 】

[Rarity: White.] 】

[Effect: Identifies an unidentified item that contains a specified amount of power.] 】

【Number of uses:1】

The City Return Scroll and the Identification Scroll are also standard items for every player character. Whenever a player creates a starting character, they will inevitably start with 1 Return to the City Scroll and 1 Identification Scroll, but unfortunately, there will not be a dime to start with. Not in the game, not in the Nightmare World.

After checking the items on his body, Su Hao glanced around and found that the other contractors had also taken action, flocking along the narrow streets to the main area of Rog's camp, and then beckoned the apprentices and also headed there.

After entering the main area of the Rogge camp, the two sadly found that because it was late at night, not only the streets were narrow and there were few pedestrians, only some Rogge soldiers were left patrolling the streets in the rain, and most of the buildings were closed, which may be due to the curfew imposed in response to the war.

There are not even a few people to contact, let alone find out the news, so it will undoubtedly be much more difficult to get acquainted with this Rogue camp.

However, there is no end to it, and there are still a few hotels left in this camp that are still trying to go to the streets to solicit them because there are not enough tourists to join the group.

Anyway, it was still raining in the sky, and when Su Hao saw this, he simply found a nearby hotel and stopped. In front of the inn stood a small old man with a rickety figure and a mustache, who was worried about tonight's business, but when he saw two customers come to the door, his face was immediately filled with enthusiastic smiles, and he welcomed the two into the hotel with a smile.

With a whopping 12 points of charm and basic social LV2, the apprentice is very enthusiastic to talk to the innkeeper.

The apprentice said in his self-introduction that he and the "Crow" were two adventurers traveling together, and in the process of traveling around the continent, they heard the news that the Blind Eye Monastery had been captured by Andariel, and then quickly came to this Rogue camp, wanting to contribute to the cause of the Blind Eye against evil, but he didn't know where to start, and he had to ask the old man for advice.

After listening to the apprentice's introduction, the innkeeper's eyebrows fluttered, and even the wrinkles on his face bloomed, revealing a deep expression of heartfelt joy, and he didn't know if he was really happy about it, or if he was just pretending.

After laughing, the innkeeper did not answer the apprentice's question, but said with a smile:

"Dear adventurers, I think it must be very hard for you to come from afar, so I have arranged the driest and most comfortable room for you, where two soft beds and clean quilts are placed to ensure that you fall into a beautiful dreamland, and even dream of those hot Roggs practicing 'archery' at a negative distance from you."

When the apprentice saw that the innkeeper was not answering the question, and was just talking about the check-in, he realized that his charm of 12 o'clock was not enough for the other party to confide in him. Only by paying real money and taking care of the business of this stubborn old man will he answer his own questions.

He could only ask, "How much is a night?" ”

The innkeeper replied, "One gold coin is a good night's sleep, and that's a fair price!" ”

When Su Hao heard this, he was about to shout at this guy's shamelessness and greed, but at this time, the Nightmare Mark timely reminded that in the economic system of Diablo II, gold coins are the only monetary unit, and there are no lower currencies such as silver and copper coins, nor upper currencies such as titanium coins and crystal coins, and their purchasing power is lower than that of gold coins in the standard fantasy world.

This is true of the hotels here, and I am afraid that the same is true of the other hotels, all of which are masters who do not see rabbits and do not scatter eagles. It's a pity that this time the Nightmare World didn't provide start-up capital, and the two didn't even have half a gold coin, so in exchange for information, the apprentice could only take out his own identification scroll, hand it to the other party, and said: "This scroll is worth at least 100 gold coins, you need to find me 99 gold coins." ”

The old man's face changed miserably, and he immediately shook his head and said, "Young man, are you kidding? Even the Identification Scroll sold by Lord Akara is only priced at 50 gold coins, how dare you say that your identification scroll is worth 100 gold coins? ”

The apprentice saw the abrupt change in the old man's expression and the obviously fluctuating tone, as well as the downgrading of his title from "respected adventurer" to "young man" now, and knew that this thing was probably telling the truth, so he stopped thinking about it, handed the identification scroll to the other party, and said:

"Let's find money."

The old man then accepted the scroll with a kind face, and handed over a coarse cloth money bag containing 30 gold coins.

The apprentice took out a gold coin, weighed it, and then took down the money bag, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Didn't you say that the identification scroll is priced at 50 gold coins at Akara?" ”

The old man actually showed a harmless smile, stroked the identification scroll, and said with a smile:

"Indeed, Lord Akara sells the Identification Scroll for as much as 50 gold coins, but she only sells 30 gold coins for the Identification Scroll. I've only fairly acquired your Identification Scroll based on the price set by Lord Akara, and I've even waived the fees you have to pay for this stay. ”

"Oh? Do I have to thank you? ”

"Then there is no need, our Rogge camp must treat righteous people like you without reservation, and we must treat them with all sincerity."

Looking at this forced expression of "don't thank me", even with the concentration of the apprentice, he couldn't help but shake his eyebrows, his fists clenched and clenched, the corners of his mouth twitched several times, and he took a few deep breaths, which calmed down the mood of wanting to beat someone, and also stopped Su Hao, who was about to scold, and forced a smile:

"Alright then, you should answer my question now."

After making a business, the innkeeper, of course, kept nothing more, and then pulled out a crude map of Rog's camp from the counter and handed it to the apprentice, which marked the various areas of the camp, the streets, the facilities, and the possible locations of important people in the near future, but it seemed that a nasty guy named Kidd was missing.

The apprentice took the distribution map and skimmed through it, his stiff expression softened a little. If you want to be recognized by Rog's camp, the most efficient and fast way is to reach out to those high-ranking and powerful figures in the camp, such as Akara, Kasha, Chasi, and the like.

However, these guys are not the rigid NPCs in the game, but living people, and they are mixed in this huge Rogue camp like a military town, which is by no means as conspicuous and easy to find as in the game, and must be hidden in all corners of the camp, and is in constant dynamic change, so it will take a lot of time to find them.

The appearance of this distribution map directly omits this step, so that these important NPCs can be found as soon as possible. If you can get in touch with these NPCs first, your team will inevitably gain an advantage over other contractors in the adventures of this world, so that they can start acting faster. And one step faster, one step faster, the advantage will be like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger, rolling bigger and bigger.

Watching the apprentice browse the distribution map, the innkeeper immediately showed his signature lewd smile, then handed the other party a string of brass keys, pointed to the stairs and said: "Go up to the second floor, turn left, the first door opens, and it is your room." Welcome to Kidd Lodge and wish you all a 'pleasant' evening. ”

When Su Hao heard this, he was shocked, and the feeling was like DNA moving, because he heard such a name in his boss's words: Kidd.

Could it be that this inn is affiliated with Kidd, the notorious profiteer in that Rogue camp?
