Chapter 45: Everything is to be expected
In Mogan's initial plan, there was no need for him to follow Robbie.
Let Robbie do as he says and walk around the bazaar, and the fish will bite the hook.
But what he didn't expect was that according to his follow-up investigation, the "fish" he wanted to catch was even bigger than he imagined.
In this case, the pay and the benefit need to be equal, and it is a bit of a burden not to be careful.
- Of course, more important than any respect or disrespect for these vanities, from a practical point of view, it is not even even the boss Fleming himself, but his eyeliner.
Mogan came precisely to pinpoint and avoid this unattainable situation.
Kalman Fleming.
This person is not only a smart man and an old fox, but also has a deep connection.
At the same time, he is familiar with the gatekeeper and the innkeeper, which makes the former react so violently, and treats Frank as a townsman in one sentence, which is enough to see that he is not as simple as a "good old man" in the popular sense.
Back inside Pandora's Bazaar, it's still early and there aren't many people.
This is the moment when the birdsong in the bushes outside the market is most noticeable. Most of the people who come and go are hired to carry goods and things, and they don't have time to talk to each other, but they also say hello to acquaintances from time to time.
In fact, that's the noisiest time of Pandora's bazaar.
Because after a while, it will fall into a quiet and orderly atmosphere, chatting and asking prices without consciously lowering the sound.
Looking around left and right, there are few stall owners, but they are increasing one after another, and the number of people is increasing.
In this way, Robbie also followed the instructions of the beginning Mogan, holding dragon scales and walking on the streets of the market.
"To be honest, my family has a shop here, but I haven't been here a few times." Robbie whispered, "I'm not going to ask you why you did this, and I don't regret it, the main thing is really unfamiliar, it's really weird to hang around here." ”
Mogan rubbed his temples, "Why?" ”
"That's it...... It feels like this place is in conflict with me, lifeless. ”
For the same reason, the noisy Robbie Reynolds is indeed incompatible with the quiet market.
Following Robbie, Mogan also recalled information he might have missed.
When he first arrived at Pandora's Bazaar, he noticed that it was more than just superficial.
Silence is an unusual appearance, especially in the bazaar.
Unlike other inherent features, "noisy" is a functional environmental feature in a general bazaar.
The shouting of street vendors is often a means of attracting customers, and in the past life, even if the purpose was too significant, the loud loud sound on both sides of the street would make the whole street boil.
Everyone is buying things, and presence is a necessary criterion for making profits.
It should be a common principle for merchants to use the simplest means to increase profits, but the people of Pandora's Bazaar have abandoned this common means as if they had some tacit understanding, and it can be regarded as a strange fairness.
Mogan could see the anomaly.
- The silence of Pandora's Bazaar is not accidental, but man-made.
Reaching consensus requires large-scale influence, which may lead to silence in the first place. People who have become accustomed to this situation under the influence of the influence have in turn used their habits to shape the environment itself.
What was agreed upon at the beginning was very different and what would continue to happen later.
The quiet market is a product of the fact that it is nothing more than a long-standing habit for those who create this atmosphere. They don't even necessarily remember who said what they said in the first place, which led to the current result.
The person who executes everything needs to be well-connected, have a lot of influence, and have enough credibility.
Mogan was naturally suspicious of the man, but if he wanted to confirm it......
After greeting Robbie, Mogan turned around and went a different way, heading to the location of Kalman's shop. The well is still in place, perhaps not the most populous center of Pandora's Bazaar, but a hub that connects all the elements of unrest.
Even though he was called up late at night, Frank was not affected by his rest, and he was still in good spirits. He was squatting at the side of the stall for breakfast, his cheeks bulging and unusually engaged, and he couldn't spot Mogan, who was quietly watching not far away.
With just one glance, Mogan could tell that Frank's original task today was not to look at the stall, because he didn't pay attention to the stall, and his rolled up sleeves seemed to prove that he was helping someone move something. But there was no one else sitting in the booth right now.
- But this little unlucky guy may need extra overtime, thanks to Mogan.
Kalman Fleming wasn't there, and he couldn't have been attracted by Robbie's anomaly right now.
But he will come back eventually.
So Mogan squatted patiently on the street corner, leaning against the wall, glancing over.
To Mogan's surprise, the returning Fleming boss combed his hair while walking, and he looked too busy to do so. But this time, the scorched marks on the hands hanging from the trouser legs had faded.
Although Mogan has overturned his misjudgment that Fleming's boss is "impetuous", he still retains other judgments, such as being anxious to earn money and occasionally working.
Mogan, who had amazing wealth in his previous life, but still let people take a ride to earn extra money, knows best what "never-ending" is. For people like him, how much he can earn at a time is only secondary, and grasping every opportunity is the habit of leaving no regrets.
Even if he owns a mountain of gold, Mogan will not miss an ordinary copper plate.
Boss Fleming may not be so extreme, but maybe just as good at time management.
But if the first time I met him, the scene presented can be explained as just happening to be engaged in a part-time job, and there is no trace on his hands today, but it seems that he has just been busy with something, and everything is entrusted to the apprentice, and he rushed to the stall in time.
It's unpredictable.
Kalman Fleming walked straight up to Frank and whispered something in his ear,
Frank had just finished wiping his mouth and shifted his position to make way for Kalman to sit in the booth.
It may be a while before it "takes effect", and Mogan will have a chance to review everything he has done and the information it reveals.
The chaos that Mogan created in the bazaar is a kind of screening and a kind of exclusion.
The calmness of Pandora's Bazaar is the most important characteristic, and if he wants to observe, to perceive the inside through the appearance of Pandora's Bazaar, and to find ways to break this calm, it is the best way to make people aware of anything other than their own purpose than to observe them one by one.
The reason why gold coins are used is not only to upset the balance and need a stronger, but also actually a catalyst that is not a big problem, but also because the most knowledgeable businessmen often really understand a truth - pie does not fall from the sky, and there must be demons in accidents.
Screening the remnants, it is natural that people should not be so stable in mind and are easy to be tempted by the "pie".
But from the current observation and understanding, it seems that Boss Fleming is not this type of target at all, and there is naturally another reason for the change.
Mogan doesn't confirm a 100% probability, but that doesn't mean he's willing to take some risks in a high-probability situation, and the miscalculation is partly the consequence of the risk.
Although the tentative part at Pandora's Bazaar failed at first, with the clues now known, Mogan can confirm a point.
Although Kalman had a superficial anomaly, he was not really distracted, and he was not distracted by the gold coin bait.
The stability of his mind is disturbed by chaos, and the abnormal situation makes Mogan ponder, but he can also make other guesses based on it.
Perhaps it was not the central entry of the chaos that caused Fleming's troubles, "gold coins at the bottom of the well".
It's something else.
As soon as Mo Gan's mind moved, he immediately eliminated most of the impossible elements and linked them to what he had obtained before.
In addition to the dangerous confusion of the crowd and the lure of gold coins, the biggest anomaly of the market at that time was the shouting and discussion one after another.
For some of the special orcs of the sub-race, their habit is to stay diurnal and nocturnal, and most of their movements depend not on sight - but often on hearing, smell, feeling, and perhaps others.
In the midst of the crowd, especially in the bazaar full of all kinds of magical materials, there are too many idle distractions, and the range where the sense of smell can be effective is not far enough. As for the feeling, the bazaar is not a massage parlor, and you can't just come up and touch it every time you see someone.
The disguise can't be taken off, but the orcs hiding behind the disguise can use their advantages to firmly grasp the atmosphere of Pandora's Bazaar and use their advantages to control everything.
At this point, "quiet markets" and "abnormal behavior" can be linked.
- It was only because Kalman was the leader of the silence that he didn't want this kind of noise.
Kalman Fleming is a half-orc who uses his senses of hearing and perhaps smell.
In order to create an environment that is more conducive to his ability to use this talent to obtain information, he has made Pandora's Bazaar a relatively quiet market, although he can obtain information that others cannot obtain for a long time, and he will also be unsettled because of this imbalance in the steady state.
Seeing Kalman play with his beard with his little finger again, thinking about the same action he had made at first sight, and the incomprehensible phrase "The smell of gold coins is most familiar to me", Mogan became more and more convinced of this conclusion.
This is exactly what he can now use to temporarily regain a city.
After a while, another person walked through the street and walked to Kalman's shop, glanced sideways at Frank, who was waiting, and was sure that he was harmless and didn't pay much attention to it, and leaned into Kalman's ear near the stall, and whispered something was wrong.
Kalman's first reaction was to frown, then tapped the visitor on the shoulder, and whispered something in his ear.
The person who walked directly got the order and immediately walked away, and Mogan could guess that Boss Kalman Fleming was going to send eyeliner to see what was going on with the dragon scales.
With this skill, he may have known that the person who had come many times was a foreigner named Mogan Grande.
Naturally, it is impossible for Mogan to feel that while he is desperately investigating others, others will completely ignore him.
Taking advantage of the particularity of the dragon scales, he can be regarded as taking advantage of the race again.
- There are only so many things in his own life, and it is naturally impossible for a dragon to give away several scales at will. If so, then the donee must still have an incredible amount of supply, and it must also be accompanied by a well-known and powerful racial relationship.
The dragon clan is a sweet spot in the eyes of businessmen, and the benefits are not only in the dragon scales, but also those with foresight will naturally not let go of this opportunity. Even if you don't know how to make an inquiry, you will definitely pay attention to whether there are similar people making similar transactions in the bazaar.
But this time, everything was expected and controlled by Mogan, and he was well prepared, and there was no need to prevent the grass from startling the snake.
"Boss Fleming."
After waiting for a while, Mogan walked straight to the front of the store and smiled at the owner in front of the stall.
"This time, we might have to talk about business."
