Chapter Seventy-Five: The Intelligence Traffickers

In the Mercenary Guild, Roy squeezed to the reception counter and submitted the application form to the receptionist.

"The mercenary registration of four people, plus the handling fee for establishing the mercenary group, adds up to a total of two hundred and twenty soles."

The receptionist was busy with business and said without raising his head.

Roy handed over three silver coins, and the receptionist took the time to look up at him: "The guild is customizing a listing for you, you can wait next to you for a while." ”

"How long will it take?" Roy asked, placing a silver coin on the counter, "We're in a hurry, we're in a hurry." ”

The next moment, the silver coin was taken, but it was not the receptionist who took the silver coin, but a mercenary beside him.

It was a middle-aged man with black hair, the beard on his face was cleanly groomed, and the black cloak covered his entire body, making it impossible to see the specific equipment on his body.

"Custom-made listing is very fast, as long as it takes less than ten minutes, you don't want to spend money in vain."

The middle-aged man handed over the silver coin, "My name is Morgan, Morgan Bolt, what do you call me?" ”

He had just noticed this young man at the door of the guild, his temperament was completely different from these vulgar mercenaries in the hall, and the clothes he wore were also high-end goods woven from high-grade fabrics.

In addition, the guards he docked at the door were all beautiful women......

This is not the young master of a big family in the city, who believes it?

"Roy, Roy Arnold."

Roy reached out to retrieve the coin, and Morgan took his hand and shook it warmly before letting go.

"Want to come to the Mercenary Guild to experience the life of a mercenary? It's not uncommon for everyone to be curious about the world beyond the walls. ”

Morgan smiled and gestured to the seat at the bar next to him, "Do you want to talk to me over there while you're waiting for the listing?" I'm an old mercenary, and I can tell you about the wildernessβ€”of course, you'll have to invite me to drink. ”

"Interesting." Roy curled the corners of his mouth.

First he induces others to shake hands with him and shorten the distance between them, and then claims that he can give others information on the wilderness and invite others to chat with him.

This is a request that no newcomer mercenary can refuse.

Finally, let others invite you to drink, which is also part of the routine.

The Mercenary Guild is open to the public, and the food and drinks sold in it are reasonably affordable, so how much can it cost to have a few glasses of wine?

But this will give the other party the illusion that they have already spent money to trade with them, and if they talk about other things later, the process will be smoother.

But the so-called Jiang Taigong fishing, the willing person took the bait, and during the time when he was waiting for the listing to be done, he had nothing to do, and he really wanted to know what was happening in the wilderness now.

So he sat down and tossed the silver coin to the bartender:

"Serve this gentleman the best wine."

"It's worthy of being an adult, and it's bold to shoot." Morgan laughed, he knew he had picked up the treasure today.

"You're pretty eye-catching, and you're pretty good at talking." Roy looked at him with interest.

"Hey, these are the basics, not worth mentioning."

Morgan took a cocktail from the bartender, raised his glass to Roy slightly, and took a sip, "Not only that, but I also know that you are not only a young master from the city, but also a nobleman from the upper city."

"I know the horses your guards ride, and the pure-blooded Ellan horse is a luxury that only the nobles of the Upper City can afford to buy. And, of the big families I know of in the lower town, none have Arnold's last name. ”

"Knowing so much, you're an intelligence monger?" Roy was a little curious.

"If it's fake, I'm also a casual mercenary." Morgan nodded.

"I know not only about the city, but also about the news in the wilderness, and I can answer a question for free when you ask me for a drink.

So, is there anything you'd like to ask? I'm sure there's no more professional intelligence dealer in the Mercenary Guild than I am. ”

"Huh, so confident?" Roy leaned forward, "So, do you know the intelligence of the Northern Crow Mercenary Regiment and their movements in the wilderness?" ”

"O ...... crow"

Morgan's index finger tapped slowly on the countertop, "The Northern Crow is fighting with Black Flag in the wilderness." ”

Roy's eyes froze, and Morgan continued: "Speaking of Northern Crows, their biggest characteristic is that they pay great attention to blood, they only recruit people from the city, and they are the most powerful mercenary group in the city - maybe not one.

"As for Black Flag, most of the members of their group are dungeon residents, and they are also the most powerful mercenary group in the dungeon forces.

"In the Mercenary Guild, it is known as the saying that the Northern Crow and the Black Flag are lowered, which means that the two of them each represent the pinnacle level of the Upper City and the Dungeon, and their strength is extremely similar.

"Therefore, their battle in the wilderness has been extremely close, and more than a week has passed, and as far as I know, the winner has not yet been decided."

"Oh?" Roy asked, "Who do you think will emerge victorious in the end?" ”

"That's supposed to be the Northern Crow." Morgan groaned for a moment.

"Why?"

"First of all, the northern crows from the urban area are born with an advantage."

He explained, "It's always the lords of the city who have the financial resources to issue heavy commissions, and if they want to get involved in the wilderness and issue commissions in the mercenary guild, do you think they will give preference to mercenary groups from the city or dungeon-born mercenary groups?"

"Not to mention the recent criminal cases of framing nobles in the dungeon, which has made the reputation of the dungeon mercenary group worse, and most of the clients have become more willing to hire the mercenary group in the city to do things.

"This shows that the Northern Crow's connections, logistical assistance and financial reserves are all more advantageous than Black Flag, and once this battle becomes a protracted war, Black Flag will be the first to be dragged down.

"Secondly, and most importantlyβ€”"

Morgan's eyes were deep, "Recently, the Northern Crow got a mysterious potion from somewhere, which can make an ordinary person instantly have incomparably terrifying strength and recovery ability.

"With the addition of this elixir, the Black Flag can only be beaten passively, not so much that the battle situation is stalemate, but that the Black Flag can only be passively defended.

"If they can't find a way to break the game, it's only a matter of time before they are finally captured by the Northern Crows."

"Really?" Roy stared into Morgan's eyes, "Your name sounds like a city dweller, you must also hope that the North Crow from the city will win, right?" ”

"It's more than one problem." Morgan said with a smile.

Roy spread his hands: "It's just a personal question, well, you just think it's small talk between friends, of course, it's okay not to answer." ”

"Small talk between friends? Haha, I like that in your statement. ”

Morgan shook his head and smiled, "I definitely don't want the Northern Crow to win." ”

"Why?"

"It's true that I'm from a city area, Lord Roy, and this identity has really brought me a lot of convenience, so I have met a lot of rich people in the city."

Morgan said, "But eighty percent of the mercenaries in the Mercenary Guild are dungeon residents, and as an intelligence dealer, many of my informants are also from dungeons, and the dungeon residents I have come into contact with are no less than those in the city."

"In my eyes, there is no such thing as being nobler than the other. Since everyone is a mercenary, the competition is the business ability to complete the commission, and the ability to operate in the wilderness, that's all.

"At this point, I admire the Black Flag. I have had the pleasure of working with them, and they are absolutely the best in the industry in terms of credibility and ability.

"What's more, this conflict was instigated by the Northern Crows, who violated the rules of the wilderness and tried to forcibly occupy the gathering place of the Northern Crows, which was despised by everyone. And I, the most annoying thing is the unruly guys. ”

As he spoke, Morgan drank all the wine in his glass and looked at Roy with blazing eyes: "How is it, Lord Roy, are you satisfied with my answer?" ”

Roy was noncommittal: "It's just small talk, what's not to be satisfied with." ”

"One of the most important abilities in the industry of being an intelligence dealer is to see the subtleties."

Morgan smiled lightly, "The carriage you are sitting in is very large, but the appearance is very simple, it is not so much the car of the noble young master, but it is just a simple freight car.

"So, under what circumstances would a noble young master personally deliver the goods outside the city?

"A slightly larger mercenary group has its own liaison in the city, and if you want to transport supplies for a certain gathering place outside the city, you only need to contact its liaison officer, and someone will help you transport it, and you don't need to do it yourself.

"So, I thought of a piece of information I just received yesterday: the Northern Crow's people outflanked the Black Flag's stronghold in the dungeon, and wiped out all the Black Flag forces stationed in the city, including the liaison.

"And you are the reinforcement of the Black Flag, and after losing the liaison, you can only lead the team out of the city to help the Black Flag in person...... Am I right? ”

Roy raised his eyebrows: "Based on these alone, you have made inferences?" ”

Morgan spread his hands: "The first question you asked me was about the information about the Northern Crow, how could there be such a coincidence in the world." ”

Roy let out a sigh of relief, pulling a black card from his bosom and pressing it against the bar.

"As you can see, I became a mercenary with the intention of going outside the walls to deliver supplies to the Black Flag. Now that you've guessed what I'm thinking, you're ready to be my guide, right? Of course, the price will not be disadvantaged to you. ”

Originally, he had planned to hire a guide in the wilderness. Although he did know the address of the Black Flag gathering place, it was the first time he had gone to the wilderness.

It's certainly not as convenient as hiring a guide.

Morgan looked at the black card on the table with a smile on his face.

Of course, he knew the bank card issued by the Holy Bank of Sidnia, and the black card represented that the owner of the bank card had deposited a huge sum of more than one million soles in the bank at one time.

When he saw this black card, he knew that he had not picked the wrong person.

As a professional intelligence dealer, Morgan will not let go of any potential client, and revealing himself in front of this noble young master today is just his ordinary daily routine.

Although most of the people who have been promoted by him will forget about it when they turn their heads, it doesn't matter, as long as a large family of this level can make a deal, it is a big order that can make them eat for several months.

And now, the deal has been negotiated smoothly.

"Leave it to me, I'm a professional."

He stood up and held out his hand to Roy, "Please take care of this journey in the wilderness." ”

Shaking hands with him again, Roy's palm was slightly strained, and his tone was indifferent: "Of course, I hope that we can cooperate happily with each other, otherwise you will understand what the consequences of teasing a nobleman in the upper city are." ”

The smile on Morgan's face remained unchanged: "Another important ability of an intelligence dealer is to understand how many pounds and taels he has. I'm just a guide, I just want to have some soup with the big guys, and I don't think about anything else. ”

"I hope so."

Roy let go of his hand and bowed his head, "Come with me." ”

Getting the mercenary tag from the reception counter, he walked out of the guild with Morgan.

"What is this?"

At the door, Jiang Yiyi saw Roy coming over with a middle-aged man he didn't know, and his expression was slightly stunned.

"He's the guide I found in the guild, so introduce yourself." Roy said as he handed out the tags.

"First meeting, my name is Morgan, Morgan Bolt, beautiful young ladies, allow me to be your guide in the wilderness, and hope we can get along well."

Morgan bowed and saluted, doing enough to deal with the aristocracy.

Although the chestnut-haired girl in front of her was sitting in the driver's seat of the carriage, she knew with her feet how could a girl with this temperament be just a simple coachman.

"My name is Jiang Xuan, please take care of me." The chestnut-haired girl nodded and replied succinctly.

"My name is Arya...... Please look after me in the future. ”

The blonde girl on a white horse on the side also said hello, but for some reason, she didn't say her last name.

She looked the same age as the chestnut-haired girl, and even more so in terms of appearance, and the knightly dress, and the workmanship of the armor and shield on her body were not ordinary at first glance.

He didn't look closely at it from a distance before, but now he realized that these two girls with good temperament and appearance, each of them carried out separately looked like a young lady who had to carry a large number of entourages when she traveled.

But one of them rode as a knight for the guard, and the other as a charioteer......

It seems that this aristocratic young master named Roy is even bigger than he imagined.

On the other side of the carriage, at the end of the line, was a blonde female knight in her early thirties.

Compared with the two slightly young girls before, the momentum exuded by this female knight is more calm and sharp, and there is no doubt that this is a true warrior who has experienced actual combat.

This should be the real thigh of this team, and the guardian of these teenagers and girls.

She had no intention of giving her name, and when she saw Morgan looking at him, she raised her eyes and looked at him calmly.

The eyes met for a moment, and Morgan subconsciously turned his head, and the will like a mountain passed to him through his eyes, overwhelming him.

As an ordinary person, he doesn't even have the qualifications to look at him.

But even for a moment, he could read the warning in the female knight's eyes.

"This is the so-called wealth and risk......"

Morgan smiled bitterly in his heart.
