31. Fanatic Trap
Hearing Fisher's words, the old man smiled "hehe", and a strong smell of alcohol seeped out of his mouth with rotten teeth, like an old wine corked open.
"Buy something from my stall and I'll tell you... I haven't opened for a long time, and I don't have much wine at home, and the price of two bottles of wine, I will selflessly share a little story about Pat Thioshen Island during this time. β
When Aragina heard his words, she was about to take the money out of her arms, but Fisher flicked her fingers in her arms and took out the money bag left by Elliog, and took out ten gold Nari coins from it and put them on his stall.
"That's enough... Now, tell me, what do those guys want? β
The old man's eyes lit slightly, and he couldn't wait to straighten up and put all the gold coins on the stall back into his pocket, but then he didn't immediately start telling the information, his eyes turned around, and he picked up an item from the stall and handed it to Fisher.
"This is the price you buy my things, not the price of intelligence, and the company dog's thing is not worth so much."
Fisher couldn't laugh or cry, but he followed his principles and took the object he handed him from his hand, it was a special terracotta figurine made in the north, on which was carved the image of a humanoid warrior with a sword in both hands, but what really caught Fisher's eye was the five-pointed snowflake symbol carved on the back of the figurine.
This symbol Fisher had seen not long ago, and on the island that only those who carried the relics of the Son of the Phoenix could see, the maiden named "Valentina" had such a symbol on her.
"The Turan thing..."
"Ah, that's right, north of the North, Snowflake, House Turan... They have been the richest people in the area for the past few years, and while few have been able to meet the real Turanian family, their legends can be spread throughout the North. Some say that the real Turan mind is actually a conscious relic. β
The old man named "Jesse" nimbly moved between his fingers the gold coins he had just received from Fisher, looked at Fisher with a grin and said,
"Legend has it that the mysterious family has lived in a snowflake-shaped fortress for generations, and they can control the situation in the entire north with money without even showing their faces, and they invest in assets everywhere, even the favorite prostitution parlors and biological products for a gentleman like you are all invested by their family... But the amazing thing is that no one has ever seen the deity of their family, and what you see is always the middleman, the middleman and the middleman..."
If it weren't for the fact that Fisher had actually seen the Turan family members on that island before, Fisher would have believed his conspiracy theory of this sinister relic.
The people of the Turan family are real, and the girl in the wheelchair is proof of that.
Aragina next to her also glanced at Jesse in the stall, but did not open her mouth to interrupt Fisher's conversation with him.
"Well, I'm not going to hear about the secret history of the Northlands. I want to know, what are those Nari Pioneer people doing here? β
"Good, good... But the development of the company is not completely unrelated to what I just said, such as the 'middleman' I just mentioned. β
"You know, developing companies working abroad are usually not directly involved in their home country, either to show how superior they are, or to deal with the local complexities too much. In this case, they usually entrust a local 'middleman'... You can also call a 'comprador' to do things for them. β
"It just so happens that there are middlemen from the north on Pattioshim, who have a relationship with Nari's pioneering company, and the person they just found is the middleman in the market. I've heard that the middleman seems to have helped the Nari Development Company find a group of gravediggers in the north to go to the Sema Snow Mountain to find treasures, and I heard that it was an ancient subhuman race, or a bird-man's grave, although it was forcibly stopped by the Turan family halfway through the digging. β
"But the truth is, they seem to have dug up a lot of things that the Turan family hadn't found, and they shipped them out of the north. I don't know what's in it, it should be quite valuable, otherwise the group of suit dogs wouldn't have come and transported them away with such fanfare. It's as simple as that, a group of brutes who started a company went all the way to someone's house and stole something... It's like being in the Southern Continent. β
Fisher fumbled his chin after hearing this, then nodded, looked at him and asked,
"You had a holiday with Nari Pioneer Company?"
"Holidays?"
Jesse shook his head, took a sip of wine and smiled,
"A little person like me is just a little worm in the eyes of others, and I forget it after running over, and I can't call it a holiday... By the way, thank you for the gold coins, enough for me to drink for a long time. β
"You deserve it."
Fisher took one last look at the compass on him, stood up and said goodbye to him, and walked with Aragina in the direction of the stall where he bought magic materials, but after leaving Jesse's stall, his face did not relax at all, but became more and more solemn.
Aragina glanced at his furrowed brow and subconsciously took his hand.
After Ossie behind her saw that Fisher did not refuse, she turned her head to look at Fisher and then at Aragina, always feeling that she had learned something again.
Originally, she thought that Captain Aragina and herself should be the kind of lady who was not very good at love, but now it seems that this is not the case.
I don't know when this lady of the female country, who has never been associated with other men, has become so experienced, Ossie feels that she should learn more from her... Well, it's about how to save money and fall in love.
"What's wrong?"
Fisher, of course, noticed Arajina's small movements, but now was not the time to pay attention, and her hands were cold and soft, and they were comfortable to hold.
"No, it's not as simple as he said..."
He shook his head, looked at the employees of the development company who were still talking about the development company that went out of the market, and connected the little information he had just gotten, and soon found that something was wrong.
"It's very flamboyant for Nali to be out there, but it's not stupid yet, not to mention, they're not in a better situation now than before."
"In the past, when I was in the Southern Continent, I saw them secretly sell weapons and supplies to the city lords of Shiwali and Kado, which was treason in a sense, but they didn't care about it for money, and at that time their actions were very hidden, and not ordinary people really wouldn't find out."
But now, since the tragic death of the largest shareholder of Nari Development Company at the hands of Elizabeth Yin, the company is no longer as smooth sailing as it once was. It's still so arrogant, it's hard to say behind it that there are no official Nari people behind it... Moreover, they stole from the northern borders, and the Turan family would not fail to inform the local government..."
"Most likely, the Nari know about the Northerners... Or someone else is going to have their eyes on this thing, they're using the magic-clad company employee as bait, and the real backhand hasn't been shown yet. And there are two kinds of people who may appear here, one is an official member of the Nari Bureau, and the other is a member of the Nari Overseas Bureau... If it's the latter, it's more troublesome. β
Alagina didn't know the specific situation about the intelligence agency inside Nari, she had only heard that Nari had an agency that dealt with national security matters privately, but she had never heard of a [Nari Overseas Bureau], so she looked a little puzzled, so she asked,
"The Overseas Bureau... Are they dangerous? β
Fisher wandered around the stalls of magical materials in the market, and whispered to Alajina behind him about the various details of the composition of the Nari political organization,
"Danger? No matter how dangerous they are, they are just humans, not because of how powerful they are, but because the composition of this institution is relatively special. β
"Nari's garbage recycling system is famous in the Western Continent, and the Council Elders will always squeeze the last bit of value out of any matter, and people are no exception, otherwise they would not have offered to send the criminals in the prison to the Southern Continent to clear the wasteland. The reason why they have such an idea is based on the experience of the construction of the Nari Overseas Affairs Bureau. β
"There are many dangerous criminals in Nari, gang members, magic maniacs, and steam engine maniacs, and these criminals who should have committed serious crimes that should have been punished with capital punishment have been given another way out by the [Atonement Charter] approved by the Parliament: to contribute to Nari's overseas work. If you work abroad for the Overseas Bureau, you will be released at the end of the term, and you can return to Nali or anywhere else. For this reason, the Nari Overseas Bureau is also known as the "Maniac Agency"
"Of course, hope in despair is often a deeper despair."
"If it weren't for their very important contributions, many of them would have worked for the Overseas Bureau to the death. Moreover, in order to ensure that they do not abscond, the Magic Society was invited to participate in the design of a [communication magic] that can locate, control and transmit information, which is a magic coat of arms in the shape of a tattoo.
As he walked, Fisher gestured with a ring seal tattoo in many places, and seemed to be extremely impressed by the thing.
"It's even more outrageous than the regular staff of the Bureau, and based on this real-time link message magic, once my track is discovered by them, St. Nari will immediately receive information that I have appeared on the Iceberg Queen on Pattiosin Island, even if it is to no avail... And, for those madmen who yearn for freedom, I, or Yin Sabel, will be a key to untie them, and they will not give up easily. β
Aragina soon realized how serious the situation was that Fisher was talking about, and she unconsciously completely covered him with a taller figure than Fisher, for fear that Fisher would be discovered by others.
"There's... What is the probability that it is someone from the Overseas Affairs Bureau? β
"It depends on the situation, once someone dies, there is a high probability that the Overseas Affairs Bureau will be responsible."
"That's... I'll take you to Pirate Harbor, where the official Nari people won't come easily. β
Fisher glanced at the Aragina in front of him who was looking at him seriously, her blue eyes like ice cubes were full of her own figure, and even the muscles close to her became slightly stiff, obviously worried about herself.
He took a deep look at the captain in front of him, and he always felt that the uncontrollable burning heat in his body was getting stronger and stronger, and it had been a long time since Elliog had left the last time.
But in the face of Aragina in front of him, Fisher struggled to suppress the evil fire flowing around, he opened his mouth, did not bite and suck her white skin, only took a breath of the cold air between them, and then took a step back to keep his distance,
"Don't be too nervous, they haven't found us yet, but it's only a matter of time before we stay on the island and be discovered. We'll leave as soon as we're done shopping, and we'll just get out of the muddy waters of the North and Nari. β
Aragina watched him withdraw from her arms with some reluctance, and just wanted to reach out and grab his sleeve, but she didn't have the courage to be so straightforward, looking at his retreating fingers, she never dared to make a decisive move.
"Well, I'll go and inform them."
She nodded.
......
......
"Osie, you and Fisher stay here first, and you'll have to keep him safe as I did for him, you know?"
"Good..."
"No problem... No problem..."
The port of Pattioson Island does not give a place for a huge ship like the Iceberg Queen to anchor, so it is sailed to the sea area a little farther from the coastline to berth, if you want to inform it to come back, it will take a certain amount of time, not to mention that the Iceberg Queen must prepare the materials before this, otherwise even if it leaves, it will not go far.
To be on the safe side, after buying the magic materials, Arajina opened a room for Fisher in a roadside hotel, and let Osie and Fisher stay here, and when Aragina took care of everything, they left the island immediately.
Fisher knew that his rash appearance would probably backfire, so he had to stay obediently in his room in this hotel.
It would be nice if he brought the [Usurper's Veil] that Renee sent by him, so that he could disguise himself without being discovered by others, but the problem was that he was chased by Yin Lizabeth at the time and didn't have time to go back to the rental house to get it, and even if he didn't have to bring it with him, he would continue to absorb magic.
Fisher leaned against the window with his hands folded, and watched as Aragina walked out of the hotel with her hat on her head, and walked briskly in the other direction of the street, quickly disappearing from her view.
He was about to close the window of his room, but he caught a glimpse of a nicely renovated storefront at the intersection of this street and another street.
The floor-to-ceiling windows of the all-glass faΓ§ade, the wooden square panels, and the groundbreaking drawing of two cute black cat ears on them...
Fisher's gaze looked down, and he quickly read the words written on it,
"Genting Cafe"
His face was a little strange, but when he turned his head to see the second mate Ossie holding the parrot obediently sitting on the bed staring at him, his expression became even more strange.
Although I didn't mean to say those words to Aragina just now, it seems that only she and Ossie are in the room, and Aragina will be able to come back for a while...
Does that mean that now is the perfect time to study the blue bird species Ossie?
