Chapter 20 Not Enough for Outsiders

"I used to be a member of this bar or club, and every time I went to the Ark, I would come here for a drink, but year after year, the young people grew old one by one, and died one by one, some of the bloodlines collapsed, and when they died like crumpled rag dolls, some of the dragon's blood got out of control, and they were killed by their original friends and family after they degenerated into Deadpool."

Ange's mouth grinned, and his smile was full of bitterness: "The old guy who should have died a long time ago has been alive, and the young man who shouldn't have died is impatient to go to God." ”

"There weren't many people in the club anymore, and every time I drank here it was like at a funeral, and Werther was very upset, so he locked it up, and he was the kind of person who demanded that he live happily all the time, so it was closed."

"About two or three years ago, Wirt suddenly started an intelligence business, the intelligence market of the Ark has always been done by the local half-race family alliance in the United States, and the secret party is not interested in tearing up their faces for a business that is not too big, at this time Wirt entered this field, with sufficient intelligence reserves, and the scope of intelligence is not limited to this small city, but almost the entire half-race world."

Caesar Gattuso had a thoughtful look on his face.

"Every intelligence merchant in the Ark wants to get Vert's intelligence source, he didn't have any foundation, no connections, no tacit understanding before he entered this industry, but he has a whole Taoyuan Hotel as a backing of financial resources and connections, plus the intelligence from nowhere, Wirt ignored the resistance of most intelligence agents, including those family alliances, and became a giant in the industry, and this bar was his first stronghold for selling news."

"So you can buy intelligence here?"

"Of course, but you need something else."

Ange took out a note from his bosom, with a unique texture, and if you look closely, there are cloud-like lines, on which are written in a square font that Caesar has never seen.

"This is Chinese." Ange explained with a smile: "Very beautiful block letters, which means that the people here say that this matter is not worth talking to other people (in this case: "not enough for outsiders"). ”

Caesar said thoughtfully: "Isn't that defector student a Chinese?" ”

Ange beckoned, called the stocky bartender, and handed the note over, but the bartender didn't even check the block note, but put it away, bent down and picked up a stand sign that had suspended the service, placed it on the side of the bar, and said to Ange, "You can start asking." ”

Ange just stretched out his hand to the young man with blond hair and ponytail next to him:

"It's not me who wants to ask, it's this gentleman, is that okay?"

"Mr. Wirther gave you a note with no restrictions, and anyone can know everything we know by it."

"Everything?"

The pumpty bartender's face was fat, his eyes were small, and his black bean-like eyes turned, and he turned to Caesar and said, "As long as the price is right, we will tell you everything we know." ”

The noble prince didn't care about the price, so he began to ask priceless questions.

"There is a black-haired dealer in that Taoyuan Hotel, whose real name should be Chen Mo, and he first came to the Ark."

"Mr. Chen's secrecy level is high with us, and there may be a very large overflow in the price."

"Then let me add another question, the reason for this Mr. Chen's high level of secrecy."

The Humpty Dumpty bartender did not rush to answer Caesar's question, but took out two copies of two parchment rolls of the same material each, and slowly pushed the two copies together towards Caesar.

"Although I personally believe in the credibility of the old gentleman next to you, and at the same time believe in your financial resources, we are also a small business and need some guarantees."

Two of the four parchments were formal treaties in Latin mixed with English, stipulating the amount to be paid by the Gattuso family and the proper claims and punishments to be made against the defaulting party's representatives under the conditions of the breach, apparently by the hands of their own battle-hardened (unscrupulous) lawyers, and the other two were filled with alchemical symbols and singular scripts, and also had a signature column.

Caesar already felt a little strange at this time, and he had some knowledge of the signing of commercial treaties under his family education, but he was obviously less familiar with this kind of thing than he was with practicing Assasin's sword.

"Both treaties are official documents that we recognize, and you just have to choose one to sign and I can answer your questions."

Ange watched silently, with a little pleasure in his heart, as if admiring Frost's angry face.

Latin is one of the subjects taught by Caesar's family, this disappearing text is said to be the evolution of dragon script, long-term learning and use can improve the chanting and resonance of the spirit, Caesar did not intend to look at the strange parchment from the beginning, he carefully read the Latin mixed with English, found no mistakes, simply signed.

The bartender carefully put away the papers, "The first time Chen Mo came to the Ark is presumably in mid-September 2003, and in October of the same year, he first entered Mr. Wirt's casino and began gambling. ”

"Speculation?" Caesar frowned, though he had no idea about money, but the signing of official documents had made him feel a sense of loss, and he speculated that the uncertain words had not brought him enough imaginary returns.

"Don't worry, I'm referring to the speculation that there is a half-month error in time, and Mr. Ange should be able to give some additional proof."

With a smile on his face, Ange said:

"I retrieved all of Normari's files about him before I came here, and in fact in 2004, in mid-September last year, Chen Mo finished a one-year internship in the executive department in Norway, which is one of the few quiet cities without native half-breed families, and he must have had a wonderful year there."

"You can go on."

"The first time he arrived, he could speculate that he didn't have a penny on him, of course I mean the currency of the Ark, according to the confession of an informed person, he first determined the approximate location of the entrance to the Ark through unknown methods, and then entered the Ark for the first time with the bribe of alchemy items and the role of the people in the Ark City."

"Then Chen Mo almost walked all over the casinos in the outer city of the Ark, sold the alchemy items on his body, and then began to camp in Taoyuan."

"So that's when he started winning money in Taoyuan?"

The bartender's smile was full of petty businessman's philistine and shrewdness: "No, he almost sold out the alchemy items on his body, and then lost all the money he got in the Taoyuan casino, and then when he almost lost it, Wirt gave him a job, so he started his career as a dealer in Taoyuan." ”
