Chapter 148: The Liaton Chamber of Commerce
In the southern district of Savile Territory, in a private house next to a tavern. A few adventurer-looking people were discussing something in a circle, when a rune suddenly lit up on the table, and the one at the head immediately signaled everyone to silence.
Immediately afterwards, a loud knock was heard on the door, and the man at the head carefully distinguished it, revealing a relaxed expression,
"Someone's coming, go open the door." As soon as the words fell, an adventurer walked out, and soon walked in with an adventurer, and as soon as the newcomer entered the house, he knelt on the ground and respectfully reported: "My lord, there is news from the guild that the mission has been changed and it has become an investigation of the murderer. ”
"You guys didn't get involved, did they?"
"No, my lord, you told us not to touch that task."
"Let's get out."
"Yes." After the messenger left, several people gathered in a circle.
"Looks like everything is going well, let's let them discover it for themselves!"
"Your Excellency is wise."
"Huh." The leader twisted his beard and smiled,
"It's just taking advantage of the fact that no one is presiding over the Mage Tower, get ready to prepare, and we'll withdraw tomorrow."
"Ming? Could it be that Ai-"
"Shut up!" Before the subordinates could speak, they were pointed at the mouth by the leader, and the man's mouth opened and closed up and down, but he didn't make any sound.
"Your Excellency!" The others seemed to be frightened. sealed the throat of his subordinates, and the leader breathed a sigh of relief, and his face recovered slightly.
"Idiot! Don't drag us down if you want to die!
"Did you know that when you are an advanced arcanist, a mage's perception is very keen! As long as someone calls his name, he will perceive it!
"Although Epps didn't show up, this is not his advancement, as long as the one reminds him that someone is doing something in his territory, you and I will die here!" finished, seemed to be still angry, and scolded the fool again, and the person who just said it was also full of fear at the moment.
"Forget it, don't wait for it to be clear, withdraw now." Perhaps really frightened, the leader gave an order and raised the evacuation time to the present, and the others did not have any objection, and went to other rooms to pack their things.
Soon, a white light flashed, and several people disappeared, leaving only the empty room that seemed to tell something.
…… On the other side, in the living room of Villa Fairbers. Lady Patty stopped in front of Chateau,
"Lord Shado—" Shado sighed,
"Things may be far more complicated than you think, and I don't want to wade into this muddy water, it's not in my interest." This attitude can be very clear, but Mrs. Patty is still unwilling to give up the persuasion, she was shocked by the detection spell of Xia Duo before, if it were not for Xia Duo, maybe she would have done something to Fairbers's body in the end.
This is not what she wants, and Xia Duo is the one who changes these, and she has a kind of confused confidence in Xia Duo,
"Lord Xiaduo, I can increase the honorarium, double or triple it!" This woman is really crazy!
But the gold coin is indeed very tempting, and Xia Duo is a little hesitant. At this time, Carey, who had long been envious and jealous to the extreme, couldn't help but speak excitedly,
"Xia Duo, are you ready to give up like this? Scared? Lord Carey isn't afraid! Mrs. Patty immediately turned around and thanked Carey,
"Thank you, Mistress Carey." This reaction, this speed, as if waiting for this moment, thief fast!
Xia Duo was a little speechless, aren't you overly sad?
"Lady Patty, did you ever think that if you find out, you'll find the Mage Tower in the end? Carey, have you thought about it? "Although it is unlikely that the lord did it, it is also a trouble to involve a certain mage in the mage tower, a trouble that can obviously be avoided, and Xia Duo does not want to provoke.
Or, the gold wouldn't be enough for Xia Duo to scare an unknown mage gang. And Carey also hesitated, no one is a fool, he can take the task for the gold, but he will definitely provoke the mage in the mage tower for the gold.
He's just a rookie mage who isn't much better than an apprentice. Even if he agrees for the time being, he will still do what he will do in the future, and in front of Xia Duo, he disdains lying, and silence is his answer.
So it was obvious on the scene, seeing that the two mages had plans to retreat, Mrs. Patty showed her hole cards,
"Two adults, I can be sure that this matter has nothing to do with the lord, and if you find the murderer, the lord will definitely reward you!"
"It can't be!" Carey subconsciously retorted, he glanced at Chateau and asked Mrs. Patty,
"What is the relationship between Fairbers and the Lord?"
"I don't know exactly what the relationship is, but a lot of trade in the territory has to go through Fairbers's Chamber of Commerce, and the lord is very polite to Fairbers." Mrs. Patti is sure to be authentic.
Now even Xia Duo is a little suspicious, is this woman just to let them continue the investigation and tell this kind of lie?
What Fairbers' Chamber of Commerce was, Chardo didn't know, but Carey knew, and he retorted again,
"Impossible, Liaton Chamber of Commerce I know, although it has a bit of history, but it is already half-dead now-" But before the words were finished, Carey suddenly fell silent, why did a half-dead Chamber of Commerce pay a lot of money to investigate the murderer?
And why did you post a quest in the Mage Tower? Carey felt that he was thinking a little wrong, and he subconsciously looked at Xia Duo, hoping that he would do something to support his point of view.
But Xia Duo had never even heard the name of the Liaden Chamber of Commerce before, so what could he do? Ignoring Carey's gestures, he turned his gaze to Mrs. Patty, hoping that she would explain.
If it is true that the lord can be ruled out, then Xia Duo is still interested in participating, but then he has to worry about more competitors, maybe he is already on the way at this time.
Suddenly, Xia Duo was also a little urgent,
"Mrs. Patty, please explain."
"Lord Chardo, I'm really sorry, I'm not interested in Fairbers' business, even these are the ones I usually come into contact with occasionally, as for the lord is very polite to Fairbers, that's because I saw the lord call Fairbers 'old friend' with my own eyes."
"The letter!" Carey reacted immediately,
"The 'Gregor on that letter' is the lord?" Chateau thought of it, too, but Madame Patty denied it,
"No, Greg is a bard, I've met him." Isn't it homeopathic to admit it?
However, Pativ Rao's denial seems to know that her previous words may indeed be true, and being able to issue a mission in the Mage Tower is a bit extraordinary after all.
Xia Duo was actually ready to agree to come down first, and if he really felt resistance, he would retreat in time.
So, he agreed, and of course, Carey couldn't wait to agree before Xia Duo agreed.
Seeing that Xia Duo agreed, Pativ Rao also showed a smile on his face for the first time, but it was fleeting. …… After leaving Fairbers Villa, Chardo decided to start with Fairbers' Lieton Chamber of Commerce, believing that there was no gratuitous killing in this world.
There must be interests involved behind this matter, otherwise who would kill an ordinary person if they have nothing to do? If there is no profit drive, killing people is just consuming one's physical strength, and it is completely a loss-making business, which normal people will not do.
What's more, it's to control first and then kill, and spend so much effort just to kill an irrelevant person?
Shado didn't believe it.
