Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Empty Box Trap

The next day, Lynn, who had not slept all night, got up early in the morning, casually found an empty box with a gorgeous appearance, stuffed it into his arms, and walked out of the door.

On the spacious training ground outside the door, the crisp tapping sound resounded non-stop, and Lynn turned her head to see that "her sister" Ivina had been here for a long time.

The girl held the wooden sword in her hand, and slashed at the vital position of the target quickly and quickly, without a trace of mud and water, and the beads of sweat were sliding down her forehead and into her neck......

It's really hard...... Lynn sighed secretly, in view of the unpleasant experience last night, she didn't say hello, and walked straight over, not noticing that Ivina, who was training hard behind her, stopped and was looking at him with an extremely complicated look.

Why......

Why did you experience such a thing, and you can still be so dull after seeing yourself?

Evena's face showed a blank look, but after remembering Pedrol's words last night, her gaze became firm again, and she slashed horizontally with her sword in her right hand again, smashing the sturdy wooden rake in front of her.

……

Lynn, who had already walked out of the mansion, did not know what was happening in the mansion, and after buying some necessary supplies in the market, she returned to the port shop where she had been yesterday.

"Welcome to Bill's ...... Ah, it's Lord Lot! The old halfling greeted as usual, but after recognizing Lynn, he immediately surrounded him excitedly and said earnestly. We can talk about the cargo you talked about yesterday...... There is absolutely no more suitable partner in the entire harbor town than the [Boat Gang]! ”

Lynn didn't rush to reply, and leisurely looked around the shop, and said regretfully. "What? Does Mr. Lauder still not want to see me? ”

Bill hurriedly explained. "No, no, no, I'm sure Mr. Lauder must be eager to see you! Unfortunately, he's not in Harbor Town right now, and even with the fastest letter crow, it will take days to deliver the news! ”

"If Lord Lott is worried about safety, the [Boat Gang] can give the corresponding value of the goods as a pledge!" The aging Bill thumped his chest like a drum.

Lynn pretended to hesitate for a moment, and finally waved his hand and said. "Well, if that's the case, it's not unacceptable......"

"Who's in charge of the [Boat Gang] now?"

"Rabul, of course! Wait a minute, I'll have someone call him......" said Bill, the halfling, and hurried out of the door, calling for a shipwright who was moving goods, and after whispering a few words of advice, he came back again, and stood on the little stool and poured fruit wine for Lynn.

Lynn took the cup and put it aside, not meaning to drink it, but pointed to the iron bucket piled up in the corner of the shop, and asked. "What are these things?"

"It's all worthless yellow ore, dug up from a barren hill in Harbour Town by a group of gold prospectors, and they've got a whole boat." Halfling Bill said depressedly.

It's usually something that only herbalists are willing to buy, but this year the yellow ore market in Vicnier is saturated, which means they have to stock up on it until next year.

"Lord Lot, if you are interested in these yellow ores, I can give you a cost price, such a large barrel only needs nineteen copper plates, I heard that it is still very effective in repelling insects!" Halfling Bill rubbed his hands together and said eagerly.

"No, I just haven't seen it, I'm just curious." Lynn shook her head and replied quietly.

While the two were chatting, a tall man walked in through the door with a few helpers.

"What an honor, Mr. Lott, I heard Bill say that you have something important to do with me in person?" Rabul pushed the door open and entered, a genuine smile on his face.

"Yes, I'm about to rent a big ship to transport a batch of important supplies!" As Lynn spoke, she solemnly took out a beautiful box from her sleeve and placed it on the table. "This is a sample, I need a private place to talk to you alone!"

Several people present unanimously turned their eyes to this palm-sized exquisite box.

Halfling Bill secretly wondered if there would be some kind of extremely rare gem inside, but thought that Lynn needed a large ship to carry it, and quickly dismissed the idea.

Rabul on the side looked very solemn, unlike Bill, he has been a member of the [Boat Gang] for more than ten years, and occasionally helps those noble lords deal with some unsightly things.

For example, the Duke of Nordland has been privately selling an addictive Soul Destroying Herb, and if they are caught by the Holy See, most of their pawns will be pulled out to take the blame.

Of course, risks and benefits coexist, and if the goods are delivered smoothly, the income of this ship will be enough for the entire [Boat Gang] to work for more than half a year.

"No problem! We can go to the side house and talk slowly! Rabul's mind was racing, but the smile on his face was even worse.

Lynn put the box away and followed Rabull out of the shop, crossing most of the street before finally stopping in a nondeviant-looking house.

Rabul, who knew the importance of secrecy, had a few helpers stand guard at the door, and led Lynn alone to a well-hidden basement.

It was very empty, with only a few simple tables and chairs, but it was very clean.

Seeing that Lynn had been looking at her surroundings since she entered the door, and was more and more sure of her guess, Rabul assured with a smile.

"Please be seated, Mr. Lot, it's safe and quiet, and no outsiders will disturb you!"

"In that case, then I'm relieved!" Lynn also laughed, pushed the box in his hand towards Rabul, and gestured. "You can see what we're going to talk about first!"

Rabul put his hand on the box with apprehension and excitement, wondering what kind of contraband it would be.

Soul Destroying Grass? Heimstone? It can't be a statue of some evil god, right?

I heard that the nobles of the western part of the Secas Empire were very fond of that evil thing.

However, after actually opening it, Rabul's expression instantly froze.

Because the box was empty, there was nothing!

Tricked?

Rabul immediately sensed that something was wrong, and his left hand subconsciously wanted to grab the dagger hanging from his waist, but it was too late!

The moment he opened the box, Lynn went into brief overdrive mode, and his right hand quickly and accurately grasped Rabul's elbow, bending his entire arm at the most precise angle.

With a muffled sound of dislocation, a heart-rending pain suddenly filled Rabul's mind, but before he could scream, the whole person was choked by the neck and smashed to the ground......
