Chapter 104: Illusion
Yalin's figure disappeared outside the door, and the rogue expression on Li Ang's face disappeared at the same time, and he turned back to Kaka, who had been silent, and said: "Yalin's temper is too straight, and he can't control his own feelings when I provoke him, and he is completely unsuitable for conspiracy." β
"But I really look down on these people, it's a shame that we are still a mercenary group under the mercenary union, and we came to the capital of chaos out of trust in them, but I haven't said anything good since the beginning, and in the end they want us to carry the black pot!"
At this time, Eric also returned, and saw that Leon and Kaka were discussing, and quietly found a seat to listen.
Kaka nodded to Eric before turning back to teach Leon a lesson, "Do you think that if you register with the Mercenary Guild, they will treat you as your own person?
The familiar metaphor in this sentence made Li Ang laugh for a while, and the indignant feelings just now slowly dissipated.
"Directly under the mercenary group?" he asked.
Kaka explained a little - when a mercenary group reaches a high standard in the number and difficulty of receiving tasks from the mercenary union, it may be invited to enter the sequence of mercenary groups directly under the mercenary union. At that time, not only will the bounty of the mission be paid by the mercenary union, but it will also be supported by the mercenary union in many other ways, of course, the mercenary group will also accept the mercenary union's dispatch to carry out some special tasks.
"This can be regarded as the strength of the mercenary guild hidden under the table," Li Ang thought, "No wonder their strength has always maintained a considerable level on the mainland." β
It suddenly occurred to him that when he was on a mission to protect Melissa's village, there was a mercenary group that was very strong to his current eyes, the 'Flame Soul', and the situation of the regiment's leader Red killing two goblin barbarians in a second with a giant sword was still clearly still in ZΓ i's mind.
When he asked, Kaka thought about it, and although he was a little impressed, he really couldn't remember.
So the task of this explanation was given to Eric, and the matter about the mercenary group was very popular in the lower city, and he would often hear people talk about it in the tavern, so he knew more about it than Kaka.
"Yes, I've also heard of this mercenary group, it's indeed a direct one, and it's said that it ranks very high in the Chaos Lands branch. β
"You know what," Eric said, "the former head of the Flame Soul is Arin of the Mercenary Guild. β
"Huh?" Leon was really surprised this time.
"The Flame Soul was created in the hands of Yalin, and gradually developed to the mercenary group directly under him, most of which are his credit, and later he was invited by the mercenary union to serve as the deputy minister of the branch, which resigned the head of the regiment and handed it over to his adopted son Red. β
"Is Arin good?"
Eric smiled, "Of course, he was known as the 'Fist of Steel' back then, not only in the mercenary union directly under the mercenary group, but even among the fighters in the chaotic capital, he was an unshakable strongman for ten years. β
"Such a person has been offended twice by me casually......" Li Ang felt that his scalp was starting to itch, and quickly changed the topic, "Forget it, don't talk about this, Yalin came just now, saying that the ceremony will start at noon tomorrow, and Edward will meet us first in the morning, probably to teach us how to say it then." β
He bit the word "teach" very hard, and the other two experienced old foxes certainly understood what he meant, and Kaka asked, "Have you decided?"
"Edward, Patricia, Arin, or others, don't they just want to yin me, let me say something according to their intentions, and remove part of the influence of the Eternal Life Society, and then I will happily carry a black cauldron for them, which is good, and I will do it for 500,000 gold coins." β
"What you say is true?" Kaka didn't believe it.
"Of course, everyone is happy in this way, and they can still rely on these big forces, why not. β
"Don't talk nonsense, be serious, tell me your choice!" Kaka finally got angry, he knew something about this apprentice, and when Li Ang was not serious, he might have already had a plan in his heart.
"Ahem, it's still the mentor who understands me!" Li Ang slapped the horse slightly, and then began to say seriously: "I have an idea, although I don't know how many forces are involved in it, but according to my judgment, the forces that collude with the undead army must be located in it, and if you are unlucky, there are definitely more than one or two conspirators." β
"I'm asking for 500,000 gold coins, and I'm sure they won't give them, but it should give them the illusion that I can be bought, and it will delay some time. β
These things had been in his mind several times, and he had thought about it almost before and after, and only said it at this moment, and the more he said it, the more excited he became, but the more the two listeners below listened, the more solemn their faces became.
Because there was some truth to what he said, Kaka and Eric looked at each other and thought of one thingβif the young man could keep going, he would reach a new height in five years.
"We don't yet know who the conspiracy is aimed at, whether there are new forces that want to get a piece of the pie, or whether the old forces want to take the throne, or whether the old and new forces want to change the pattern of the entire chaotic capital, but in any case, a large-scale action like this will definitely touch the bottom of Crystal Bottom. β
Speaking of this, Li Ang asked Kaka, who was very "familiar" with the female speaker, with his eyes, and continued to speak after seeing that the other party gave a positive look.
"A figure like Speaker Christel, who has been in charge of the council for more than ten years, will not understand who brought the position of the Soothsayer's Lodge in the City of Chaos? Even if she has something to leave, it is impossible for her to leave behind, and is not one of the other eleven forces openly and secretly allied with the Hut? If this is the case, it can only be said that the Speaker is really ...... It's gone!"
After saying that, thinking of Kaka's "fear" of Crystelle, Li Angming knew that this area on the first floor was soundproof, and he couldn't help but look left and right, as if he was worried that there would be eyes and ears nearby.
"What do you mean?" asked Kaka, who hadn't heard the last words.
"Nothing!" Leon hastened down, "so no matter what, it's right to move closer to the soothsayer's hut, but ...... The woman with mental problems was in some trouble. β
He was talking about Patricia, of course, and he was impressed by the woman's nervousness.
"Yes, that's what I want, as for Patricia, don't worry about it for the time being," Kaka stood up with great satisfaction, he felt that this apprentice was very qualified, "I also mean that, unless the forces behind their respective countries really want to break the rules and send out fifth-order professionals, then standing on the side of the soothsayer's hut is the most correct choice." β
The master and apprentice reached a consensus, this will be much easier, the next day things should be clear, Kaka decided that he will go to the business district immediately, he has consumed too many potions recently, he also has to buy some materials to come back to refine a new batch of potions as a backup.
Eric was sent out by Leon to inquire about some relevant information, and all the low-level forces in the lower city were concentrated, so maybe some important information would be inadvertently leaked.
As for Li Ang himself, he and Kaka went all the way to the business district, and then acted separately, the alchemist had perfectly split the mother stone into two source stones, so Li Ang first went to the mage tower to cash out one of them, and then immediately returned to the business district to buy the equipment he needed.
As for the few people who were resting, Leon left a note on the table, telling them not to leave Kaka's house, and then immediately set to action.
Soon, under the "escort" of several assassins, Leon once again stood in front of the gate of the mage tower. The young man I had seen before seemed to have received an order, and after seeing him, he didn't ask much, and went straight to the top.
"Hehe, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon, little friend, what did you bring this time?"
Clement's smile was still gentle, but Leon, who had suspicions in his heart, felt more and more that the old man looked like a cunning fox.
In particular, Clement's next sentence, "Good things can be shared, and if you find some important literature or other books, you can take them over and let me copy them and take them back again, and the price is the same." β
"Share it...... Knowledge is power, wait until Lao Tzu has figured it out first," Li Ang took out a small box containing the source stone and placed it on the table.
"Oh?" Clement opened the box and saw a thumb-sized source stone, and although there was surprise on his face, there was a hint of disappointment hidden in it.
Although this situation passed quickly, he was still discovered by Li Ang, who had been observing him, and said in his heart: "Sure enough, he should have really discovered the ruins of the ancient castle, and maybe he even went down to the ground to see it, so he became suspicious of the person who came to fold it with a bunch of ancient documents soon after." β
"This thing is indeed quite precious, but it is said that there is an alchemy master in your mercenary group, which should be very useful to him, so why rush to sell it for money?"
"For me, money is more important than this thing now, that's why I want to come to you. β
"Hehe," Clement flashed a look of surprise, "in that case, I'll raise the price a bit, two thousand two hundred platinum coins, if you want blue crystal coins, of course, according to the normal ratio of one to ten thousand." β
"Blue crystal coins?" Li Ang secretly said to himself, this is a more cherished large amount of currency, itself is equivalent to zircon, the use value is greater than the symbolic meaning, there is very little circulation on the mainland, so the value has been rising, this old man wants to exchange blue crystal coins for huΓ n with a mouth, how rich are the mages?
He thought about it for a while, but decided to ask for the platinum coin, because the azurite thing was a bit too ostentatious, and if it was spent by his hand, it would attract too much attention.
After the transaction, Clement said: "Kid, it's been a mess lately, be careful when you go out, I look forward to seeing you again soon." β
"Yes, there will be many opportunities for us to meet in the future, please rest assured," Li Ang said with obvious meaning, and resigned.
And Clement repeated his words, thoughtfully.
"There are still many opportunities to meet?"
"Interesting, well, very interesting. β
