Chapter 17: An Awkward Situation That Was Not Envisaged

More and more people gathered at the morning market, and Mogan could hear the talk of last night's pirate ship incident as he walked out.

The nearby mountains can be heard without hindrance, and the port is no exception. But obviously, most people only know about the existence of pirate ships, because compared to the pirate ships that go to the port after the cannons, the cargo ships that are "hidden in the night" as described by Frank are really difficult to see.

It is difficult for those who observe after the sound of the cannon to detect such an extremely hidden existence in terms of color and appearance time.

Regarding the previous "business model", Mogan is not only now thinking of building a good relationship with the vendors of Pandora Bazaar.

When he encountered a few vendors whose goods were not good and the prices were outrageous, he really didn't give any good looks. But this is not just a private emotion generated by being slaughtered as a layman, but also to screen out these goals that are too greedy for small profits and small favors, and do not have a long-term vision.

The stall owners of Pandora Bazaar are undoubtedly rich in resources and power, and regardless of their character, they are a treasure trove of money to walk on. If he needs to settle down and plan to set up a business here to start a shop to earn money, Mogan will naturally build a good relationship with everyone.

But what he wants to do is not to stay for long.

This is just a springboard, and only one partner is needed, so naturally there is capital to keep improving. Now it's time to find a reliable local snake to match and create a little relationship.

As for the screening object who is out at the beginning, it would be great if the other party could consciously see themselves and take a detour.

It's just that the progress can't be so fast, and he has reached an unexpected contact for the information in Frank's mouth, and he needs to get out as soon as possible.

Leaving the stall, Mogan felt quite comfortable, feeling that he had finally managed to win back a city after two consecutive blows in the evening, and was a little closer to mastering all the anomalies in the vicinity of the town and making sure that the plan was carried out correctly.

Another clue that is very surprising is the timing of Frank's assignment.

The boss's name is Kalman Fleming, and he finds Frank in the afternoon rather than at night, long before the pirate ship appeared. This also means that the owner of the vendor has some relevant clues, so he knew earlier that something was going to happen over there.

But that's not all.

The materials have been gathered, and Mogan has completed the work given to him by Lucifer. And before going back to find someone, because the sudden arrival of the boss prevented him from asking the last question, he chose to check it himself and went around the clothing store on the edge of the market.

The Leytesmann Ranges Aboriginal population density is very low, and most of them come and go by merchants who come to do business in the market. Because of this, the Pandora Bazaar, where every inch of land is expensive, has the most stalls selling materials, and there is only one clothing store that is probably used to make up the numbers.

Although it is said to be handmade, after all, there is a store cost, and the average price of clothing stores is higher than many clothes that are normally sold in places like Windsor Town, taking the upper route, but the design of most clothes still overlaps.

Mogan found the location according to the partition, checked the price code of the same kind of formal wear, and even found the same model directly.

Three hundred guilders, Frank was paid three-fifths of his salary in advance.

The possibility of a "gift" has been ruled out, and it is naturally impossible for Frank, who is struggling to make ends meet, to spend most of his hard-earned money on clothes - even if he is really a child who is willing to go hungry for the sake of glamor, he will obviously pay attention to the cleanliness of his body, rather than leaving a fold in the place where his shoulders are so easy to see when he is idle and looking at the stall.

Then there is another possibility, the new clothes are the clothes that the boss gave him in the morning, maybe just to cover the grit on his body, or maybe it is to contrast with the image of yesterday who dressed like a thief and almost became a thief.

Maybe even both.

And as soon as the time came out, another contradiction appeared in the boss's approach. If you were going to let Frank hide his identity from last night's visit to the docks in the first place, why did he promise to help with the stall early in the morning?

Mogan has no conclusive evidence in this regard for the time being, and can only give a reverse guess that fits the clue. Perhaps the boss did know something about the events at the dock at night, but this knowledge was not complete, and he would not have expected that things would be so big.

According to Frank, the stall is a lot of money; From Mogan's point of view, this kind of commission not only costs money, but also risks losing goods to the stall owners who leave. No matter how you look at it, this is a job assignment that can break the head, and in addition to being related to relatives, Mogan can't think of a reason to do it if he can't think of someone on the street, and this condition may be Frank's face.

Frank's work is only "at night", with no specific time slot, and the location is actually the dock, not the sea.

Maybe the overly exciting picture will make Frank Jr. ignore the difference, but it won't affect Mogan.

Perhaps Kalman, the stall owner, wanted to assign a long-term job to this rare face, but was also afraid that he would suspect or divulge secrets, so he first used one night as an observation period, and at the same time offered another long-term job with great potential, so that Frank could not refuse.

What Kalman didn't expect was that such a big mistake would go wrong on the first day, forcing him to appease Frank with his usual fixed attitude, and at the same time buy him a new outfit that would be enough for him and yesterday to judge the two of them, so as to achieve both goals at the same time.

Mogan had reason to believe that he guessed eight or nine and ten.

But what he didn't expect was that the flow of people around him seemed to be going in a special direction.

The direction he's headed now.

A bad premonition sprouted in his heart, and Mo Gan just followed the flow of people, and the more he walked, the more he felt that something was wrong.

A louder sound means that something has changed in the bazaar, in a certain location. The crowd always tends to the center of the excitement when encountering a bustle, and Mogan, who has agreed with Lucifer, is also a little apprehensive.

After all, the people who can cause the most trouble in the entire Lightersmann Mountains are indeed there.

When he arrived at the place, he was relieved to be able to see what was going on in front of him through the tall man.

The situation is better than expected, but I am not completely at ease, but I can't keep my breath in my throat all the time.

Mogan sat for a while and his expression was managed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

Of course, he himself immediately focused on the white stone table and chair suit that the king had used to rest, and he also saw the back of the white wizard's robe and hooded figure not even moving, sitting in place.

The stone bench and stone chair form a kind of "protective color" that passers-by have to look at before they can detect his existence, such a coincidental situation makes Lucifer look less conspicuous, but the problem lies in this "not moving".

When he first came, a noble king would also grab a resting place with others, and sit in the corner of the chair by himself. Now, the people who used to rest near the tables and chairs have been almost completely emptied, and finally only an incognito king is left, monopolizing the entire stone chair.

Fortunately, the focus of the others' eyes was not here—but on the sides of the road on the side of the table and chairs, two groups of people standing opposite each other.

Sabre-rattling, as if to do it.

It is worth noting that there are a large number of people on one side, all wearing the uniforms of the local mage association, colorful mage robes distinguished by attributes and abilities; There were only two people on the other side, but they were not overwhelmed by the colorful opposite.

It's not a girl in a long skirt who is fifteen or sixteen, but because of the white-haired man in front of him who is holding his arms.

Thin transparent scales that spread from under the eyes to the earlobes, standing ears shaped like fish gills, and blue tail fin leaking out from the hem of the garment. These characteristics all support the conclusion that this is a male merman who does not shy away from showing his racial characteristics.

Not only is the feature distinct, but the man's expression is not like a good stubble, which brings the stereotype of the "indifference and cruelty" of the shark to the extreme. Clan-to-clan bustle is rare, but it's not impossible, but it's rare in such places.

Mogan was well-informed, but still a little nervous.

After all, from his point of view, only two meters from the center of the confrontation, the "invisible" king was being sandwiched between the two sides.
