Chapter 293: Strange Little Beggar
Ward City, among the Mercenary Tavern.
After a moment of silence, the onlookers began to talk loudly.
In the eyes of some mercenaries, this "little" handsome young mercenary may just be selling for the team he belongs to, or his strength is not too strong.
But many experienced old mercenaries don't think so.
You must know that selling these Warcraft materials to the guild in the mercenary tavern will be lowered, if it is really a person from the mercenary group, it is impossible to arrange someone to sell materials in the mercenary tavern.
With such a large amount of material, there is almost only one possibility.
That is, the person in front of him doesn't care about those profits, he just wants to dispose of these materials faster and save trouble.
This is also a convenient way to sell Warcraft materials to the Mercenary Guild.
After all, for the sake of prestige, although the price given by the Mercenary Guild is not high, there is basically no deliberate misrepresentation of the price.
This strange mercenary can't be a young kid from a big family who has come out to train.
Gradually, many mercenaries took their eyes back and continued to brag with their friends, but they paid a little attention to the direction of the bar.
Li Si didn't care about other people's eyes, this was not the time for him to just arrive in Ice Peak City, and he still needed to hide his identity.
This can be regarded as a way for Li Si to show his strength, which is useful for the next plan.
What's more, Li Si really didn't care much about these Warcraft materials.
The most precious gains of this long trip Li Si did not come out, such as the materials on the white dragon, such as the precious gems that Li Si found in a cave.
Those were good things, and Li Si was going to keep them for himself.
As for the other materials, Li Si only kept a small part, ready to bring them to his friends in Bright City as gifts in the future.
"What's wrong?"
Looking at Theodore, the waiter in front of him, Lees knocked on the table and reminded.
"This sir, you have too many Warcraft materials, and I don't have enough authority."
Theodore was stunned for a moment, then immediately said.
After all, he was just a waiter, and although he had a job to buy Warcraft materials from mercenaries, the price of Warcraft materials he had before was not high, and each transaction did not exceed a hundred gold coins.
And the one in front of him not only has a lot of quantity, but also the quality is quite good, and there are many expensive ones.
Theodore just glanced at it and saw two complete snow-white ice storm bear skins.
It's a good thing, and it's one of the best things to sell in Berdych's kingdom, and a snow bear skin like this is worth thousands of gold coins.
As if afraid that Lees would change his mind, Theodore hurriedly said:
"I'll go to the steward now, please wait."
Although there was some blood in his heart, Theodore did not intend to hide it.
Although the commission you will get less if you report to the supervisor, looking at the exaggerated amount in front of you, even if it is only a part of the commission, it is enough to get rich.
It would be bad if this mercenary changed his mind for his own reasons.
Thinking of the reminder of his seniors, Theodore did not dare to delay, and ran up to the second floor of the tavern in a hurry.
Li Si didn't care, and asked another waiter to bring him a glass of cold ale, and sat down in front of the bar and drank it slowly.
It didn't take long to hear hurried footsteps coming from the stairs.
A skinny man in a black suit descended the stairs, followed by Theodore.
As soon as he went downstairs, he noticed the tall pile of Warcraft materials in front of the bar, and his eyes were stunned for a moment.
However, this one is obviously different, and he reacted quickly.
With just one glance, he walked over to Lis, who was sitting at the bar.
"Hello, I'm Rude, the steward of the Mercenary Tavern, and I'm glad you chose to sell Warcraft materials with us."
"I'll arrange someone to help you count the materials you want to sell, why don't you go to the VIP room on the second floor with me to rest for a while?"
The steward Rude said with some respect, no matter who the object is, as long as it can bring such a big business, it is his honored guest.
Li Si nodded, and led by Rudd to the VIP room on the second floor.
Unlike the tavern lobby on the first floor, which can still be seen as a warehouse remodel, the VIP room on the second floor is luxuriously decorated, with dark red satin sofas with gold patterns and brown pine wood floors that have been carefully polished to give off a faint smell of pine resin.
Behind Ruud, a maid brought a good quality cold ale and a few snacks.
A faint mist condenses on the edge of the transparent glass, and the dark yellow of the wine is particularly attractive.
Most of the snacks are sashimi of various types of fish, and the excellent knife technique is sliced into slices of different thicknesses according to the taste of the fish, which is just convenient for sake.
This Li Sike is cooked, and this is all the meat of cod, marlin, saury, etc.
The fish are all different in color, and a few emerald green leaves are placed underneath, which looks a little better through such a delicate arrangement.
The small bowl on the side also contains a black sauce.
Seeing that Li Si looked a little concerned, Rude also smiled and said:
"These are all caught by fishing boats in the port, and although there are still many people who are not used to eating fish, this way of eating is also novel and has a different flavor."
"This sauce is a special seasoning brought by the guild from the Berdych Kingdom, you can taste it."
There was also some pride in Rude's words, implicitly showing the strength of the mercenary guild.
After all, as the newly established mercenary guild in Ward City, at this time, it almost represents the official management of mercenaries from all over the Dillon Kingdom, and the meaning is different after all.
"Hmm."
Li Si just replied lightly, picked up a piece of saury, and gently dipped the sauce into his mouth.
The texture of the saury is not quite the same as that of other marine fish, it is firmer and more fragrant, and it tastes good under the seasoning similar to the soy sauce of the previous life.
This is also a type of marine fish that Li Si liked to eat when he was adventuring at sea in his previous life.
Rude, who touched a soft nail, didn't care at all, and still laughed and found a topic to chat.
Li Si also had a conversation with no match, and the scene was not cold.
After a while, after Li Si finished eating the plate of saury, he took a sip of cold ale.
Wiping his mouth, Li Si looked at Rude, who was sitting opposite, and said:
"I have something I want to trouble you with."
"That's what I'm selling materials for the Mercenary Guild."
"Oh?"
Ruud was also a little interested, and sat up slightly straighter.
"I've traveled in the Kingdom of Dillon before, and I've just crossed the Correa Hills."
"This is also when I heard that Ward City can take a boat to the Berdych Kingdom in the south, so I was more interested, so I also rushed over."
"However, I don't have much experience in sailing at sea, and I want to ask Ruud to help me keep an eye on any more reliable ships that are going to leave for the south in the near future."
Lees nodded, stating the purpose of his visit.
"That's right."
"I take the liberty of asking, Mr. Lees, are you alone preparing to sail to the Berdych Kingdom?"
"Yes."
After receiving the affirmation, Rude nodded, and the evaluation of Li Si's strength in his heart improved a little.
Rude was not surprised by Lis's request, to be honest, most of the mercenaries who came to Ward City recently were because they could go to Berdych Kingdom.
Although Rude was more curious, the mercenary in front of him had the ability to cross the Correa Hills alone, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to cross the Luoxue Mountains.
However, Ruud has a work ethic and does not ask in depth.
"There have been a lot of merchant ships going to Berdych recently, but most of them are first-time departures to Berdych, and although the crew is trained, it is still not so reassuring."
"Since Li Siling has said so, I won't hide it from you."
"It's better to take the merchant ships that have successfully returned from the Berdych Kingdom, they are all experienced old men."
"But those merchant ships belong to the Great Chamber of Commerce, and they don't hire too many mercenaries."
"Because it's safer, the places on the ship are also very sought-after among the mercenaries."
Rude pondered for a moment and said seriously.
It can't be that he is not serious, the meaning of the mercenary in front of him is obvious, he sells those Warcraft materials at a low price, the purpose is to obtain a reliable merchant ship quota.
If it doesn't work properly, the deal will naturally blow up.
After all, he had just arrived in Ward City, and if he wanted to save time and find a suitable merchant ship quickly, it would definitely be as convenient as asking the Mercenary Guild to help.
"I know, that's why I'm here, isn't it?"
A smile appeared on Lis's face, and he looked at the steward Rude.
"Then please help me find it, just the merchant ships that have returned from the Berdych Kingdom."
"You know, I'm not short of money, even if I buy a place with gold coins."
"I see."
Ruud breathed a sigh of relief, if he really wanted to find a merchant ship that had recently departed, it would indeed be more troublesome.
But it's just a trouble, isn't the favor he usually accumulates at this time?
In comparison, the transaction commission of the uncle in front of him is a real gold coin!
After a while, Theodore, the waiter just now, walked up and handed the counted slips to Lees.
Li Si just glanced at it, and saw that the final converted price was thirteen thousand gold coins, and nodded without objection.
Li Si did not directly collect the gold coins, but let Rude convert them into low-grade magic gems and elemental crystals.
Very few people carry a large amount of gold with them, even if they have space to store their equipment.
Because the actual situation of each country is different, it is almost impossible to replace precious metals with paper money as Li Si did in his previous life.
Even the goddess of wealth can't do it.
However, I heard that there are similar existences in some areas of other continents, but Li Si has never been there, and he has only heard of it.
After Lees left, Ruud did not bask in the joy of receiving the commission as Theodore.
The things that need to be done have not been done, and the money is a little hot.
Ruud did not doubt Lees' own strength and the forces that might exist behind it, and those were only part of the reason.
Take the money to do things, take the money you deserve, and don't do superfluous things, this is what he can do to become the head of the Mercenary Guild.
Li Si came out of the mercenary union, and he didn't know where to go for a while.
The rest of the time was to wait for Ruud to help him find a merchant ship and reach the Berdych Kingdom as smoothly as possible.
The Kingdom of Berdych was at this time when the war was extremely tense, and in the face of the invasion of the Kingdom of Fez, it was caught off guard at first, and it was only in the second year that it reluctantly organized a defense.
This is also inseparable from the corruption of the upper echelons of the Berdych Kingdom.
The Kingdom of Fez directly occupied most of the western territory of the Berdych Kingdom, but the speed was inevitably slowed down.
After all, it is a newly occupied enemy territory, and the Fez Kingdom intends to occupy it for a long time, and it is not a matter of retreating after a plunder, so it is natural to divide manpower to appease the people in the territory and stabilize the territory.
This is because the royal family of Berdych Kingdom is lost, and not many people are willing to fight for the nobles who only know how to exploit them.
Calculating the time, the army of the Fez Kingdom is about to advance to the Gedo River Valley, which is the richest place in the Berdych Kingdom, and it is also the location of the Huangshi City, the royal capital of the Berdych Kingdom.
However, that is also the strongest place in the Berdych Kingdom, the army of the Fez Kingdom has been in a stalemate there for a long time, and Li Si does not have to worry about not being able to catch up.
Just as Lees was wandering the streets of Ward City, about to find an inn to rest, he noticed a somewhat special existence.
When Li Si was about to enter a hotel on the side of the road that he could still see, his eyes flickered, and he noticed a small figure squatting in the darkness in the corner of the wall.
It looked like a ten-year-old child, wearing only a single coat that could cover his body in front of him, and he could no longer see the true color of the clothes, which were covered with mud from the streets, and a little black muddy water was still dripping from his body.
The weather has not yet fully warmed up, and when the sea breeze blows, the little figure hides there and shivers.
Beggar?
That's not right!
Lees was a little curious, Ward City was a harbor city that had not been established for a long time, and there were no aborigines.
Not to mention that this place is far away from the other cities of the Dillon Kingdom, and it should be impossible for a beggar to have the ability to cross the Correa Hills to reach Ward City.
Not to mention a small child!
Li Si thought about it and was about to step forward and ask.
This is also a habit in the game of his previous life, and encountering such abnormal things often means hiding tasks.
That's the fun of the game!
Li Si simply did not enter the passengers, but walked towards the corner where the child was.
As if noticing someone approaching, the little beggar raised his head, his dark face full of wariness, but his eyes full of fear and exhaustion.
Seeing Lees's approach, he got up and tried to escape.
But soon he found that his body was uncontrollable, and even his toes were more than ten centimeters off the ground, and his body was floating in mid-air.
"The reaction is quite fast!"
Li Si was even more curious, and used the [Mage's Hand] to carry the little beggar in mid-air.
"What are you going to do?"
The shrill voice characteristic of a child sounded, struggling but unable to do anything.
Li Si stood in front of him, and suddenly felt that the little beggar in front of him had a familiar face.
Well?
Which big man will be in the future?
