Chapter 333: Smugglers Chamber of Commerce 2
Brown short, thin face, with a fairly neat beard, thin but full of explosiveness......
This was the appearance of the young man in black cloaked sitting on a wooden chair in front of him when Gehr entered the living room.
"You may be seated. The young man glanced up at Gehr, spoke expressionlessly, and raised his hand toward the chair across from him. "I'm 'Coin', and this time it's up to me to trade with you. โ
Gehr stepped forward and sat down, stepping on the cashmere carpet that lay on the floor, and immediately the softness of the soles of his feet completely absorbed the sound of footsteps, while the girl who brought him in beside him bent down and bowed, and quietly withdrew from the parlor, closing the door by the way.
"According to the rank of the Vespucci family in the guild, the amount of goods that can get a preferential internal price every year is 1o spar or the equivalent currency, and the excess part must be paid according to the original price, and there is still ...... of the amount you can buy at the preferential price this year" The coin took out an account book, flipped through it, and read it according to the book.
"No need. Before the coin could finish speaking, Gehr interrupted him directly, "Just buy it at the original price, here's my list." Gehr placed the list of catalogs on the table and pushed it in front of the coin.
From the beginning, Gell didn't want to take advantage of Serena's family, and it was not worth mentioning in his eyes, all he needed was a connection with the smuggler.
The organization in front of Gehr to which the coin belongs, known as the "Shadow Cloak", is not simple, their power covers the territory controlled by the wizards, and even the patrons have a certain relationship. It can be said that the power is huge, and only by relying on this kind of organization can Gehr buy some resources that are difficult to obtain through ordinary channels.
Of course. Although the Shadow Cloak is populated in all the major cities of the wizarding realm, it is not easy to find and trade with them. There are some means that will not work.
However, this was not a problem for Gehr, as Serena provided him with contact information about the organization on the list, allowing Gehr to find the exact junction of the "Cloak of Shadows" on his first visit to Pavlan.
The coin took the list and looked down carefully, Gehr did not urge, folded his hands in his lower abdomen, and waited calmly.
After poring over the list, the coin stood up and pulled out a few tomes from the bookshelf leaning against the side wall. Sitting back at his desk, he flipped through the tome and began to sketch out Gehr's list.
The rustle of the tip of the pen against the paper was continuous, and from Gehr's line of sight, he could see that some of the items on his catalogue list were being crossed out by coins or annotated.
After a long while, the sound of writing finally stopped, and the coin re-examined the list and pushed it back to Gehr's side, "I crossed out the goods that cannot be provided to you in the near future, and I added the rest to the required number of days." โ
Gehr picked up his list and was not surprised to see that about a third of the entries had been crossed out. Most of these crossed-out resources were added by him tentatively, they were relatively rare resources, and it was normal that the Shadow Cloak could not provide them, and after a cursory look, Gel took a cursory look and turned his attention to the other sources that could be provided.
First, the part of the fundraising period that is more than three days old is excluded. At that time, the airship was already out, and it was too late. For the remaining entries, Gell checks them. Some of the identified items are ticked at the moment, and all the transaction entries are determined after deletion, deletion and reduction.
"That's all. Gehr handed the list to the coin again. After two rounds of cuts, it is already unrecognizable compared to the original catalog.
"That's fine. "I looked at the results for a while. Coin nodded. "It can be delivered in two days. โ
"I hope that the part that is specially marked will be available today. Gehr said flatly.
"Yes. The coin's gaze swept the catalog again, then slowly spoke. "But you have to pay half of the money for these goods in advance, which is twenty-eight hedron coins, can you accept that?"
"Yes. Without hesitation, Gehr agreed, took out a cloth bag from his bosom, poured out a pile of hedrons on the table, counted the quantities, and pushed them to the coin.
The coin glanced at the symbols of wealth in front of him, and his expression did not fluctuate in the slightest, but he opened the drawer and swept all the hedrons inside, "Your wish will be fulfilled, in the name of the shadow." โ
"Don't you need me to leave an address?" asked Gehr.
"As long as you don't leave the fifty-mile radius of Pavlan City, then trust in the capabilities of our organization. The tone of the coin was affirmative, as if it were speaking a deeply believed truth. "Your first shipment will be delivered in three hours, I suggest that you better find a suitable place to receive the goods now, we are only responsible for delivery, and do not do the transshipment matters. โ
"Then I'll be waiting for you. โ
Gell smiled absently at the coin, stood up, turned and walked towards the place where he had come. Now that the deal has been negotiated, there is no need to stay here for a long time.
Pushing open the door, the girl who brought him in was waiting outside the door, and when she saw him, she bowed and saluted, "Please come with me." Then he walked ahead and led the way.
Gehr was about to follow the girl back to the shop above, when suddenly, he was slightly startled, and his steps slowed down.
In front of him, three figures passed by the girl in front of him in turn, walking straight towards the parlor behind him.
The current one was a waitress dressed in the same way as the girl who led the way, and behind her were two men who were wrapped in a hooded black cape, looking rather mysterious.
However, it is not uncommon for people who come to trade with the "Shadow Cloak" to make this kind of dress in order to ensure a certain amount of secrecy, so this is not the key to attracting Gehr's attention, what makes Gehr feel strange is the mysterious man in the black cloak walking in the middle of the three people, and he feels a faint sense of familiarity with this person Gehr at a glance, but he is not sure if he has seen it.
Just as Gehr slowed down, thinking as he walked. The oncoming trio had already walked past him and into the back drawing room. He closed the thick wooden door, cutting off Geer's intended inquiry.
"Sir, is there something wrong?" the girl who walked in front noticed that Gehr was much slower. Turning around and asking softly.
"It's okay, let's keep walking. Gell shook his head, no longer thinking about it, quickened his pace, and followed the girl.
About ten minutes after Gell left, the door to the parlor opened again, and the two mysterious men in black cloaks walked out one after another.
At this time, a mysterious man in front of him did not wear a hood, revealing his shiny bald head. The light from the living room came from behind, shining on the back of his head, reflecting off the strange pattern on the back of his head.
The next moment, the hood covered his head again, and he was relegated to the shadows......
......
Gehr didn't stay in the city, he left Pavlan City, what he had to do next was not suitable for a crowded city, he needed to find a more suitable location.
Passing through the noisy city gates, Gehr rode a rented horse. Walk on the road.
About a kilometer after leaving Pavlan City, a patch of fields began to appear in front of the city, and it can be seen that these fields have been cut down and reclaimed from the surrounding forests, so they appear to spread in strips. One even stretched into the woods, and the faint sunlight shone over the tall trees, hanging in bunches on the creatures of these people. It's like an ethereal dream.
Gehr's gaze looked over the field, and he saw a silver ribbon of golden light as far as the eye could see. He tugged at the reins. I adjusted my direction and headed for that place.
Come close to the light band. This is a river beach, the water is very shallow, through the clear water, you can clearly see the small purple fish swimming inside, in the refraction of the sunlight on the surface of the water, it looks like a jewel with a colorful halo.
Gehr found a shallow place and rode his horse across the creek to the opposite side.
It was already covered by the forest, but the people who lived here had begun to ask for space for a field where food could be grown, and a house of stone and wood sat on the edge of the forest, with a dense forest on one side, reclaimed fields on the other, and some clearings that had been cut down and only wooden stakes.
Gรถrtzema walked around the place, and now that this family lived in a very quiet environment, he was very satisfied with the decision.
By this time, the owner of the field, a man and a woman, had gone out of the house, and the man in front of him stood - who seemed to be the husband of the woman in the back, who was holding a wooden rake across his chest, frowning and watching with great alarm as he approached Gehr - the behavior of a stranger circling his house in such a place was indeed very suspicious.
Gehr dismounted and led the horse slowly, "The fields and houses here are yours?" he exclaimed.
"That's right, where are you from, what do you want to do?" the man seemed relieved to see Ger's youthful appearance, but still asked aloud vigilantly.
Gehr smiled, and at this time this expression was very suitable to ease the feelings of the two couples who were obviously ordinary peasants opposite.
He reached out and pulled a cloth bag from his horse's back and threw it directly at the man, causing a series of rattles in the air.
Ten minutes later, the peasant couple walked out of the house with their big bags and small bags full of joy, and while waving to Gehr and thanking him, they hurried towards the other side of the river, as if they were afraid that Gehr would regret recovering the slowly sack of silver, as for Gehr's words that they would only rent for five days, and then they could continue to live again, they had long since forgotten that they had decided to go to the other side of the city to rebuild their homes, so as not to give Gehr, the "fool", room to regret.
Gehr stood in the doorway, smiling as they crossed the river.
Only when the couple was gone, did he turn and enter the house. (To be continued......)
