He was still dressed in the same mysterious outfit, dressed in black, with a wide brim pressed low, revealing pale skin from the nose down.

Walking to Raymond's table, the man pulled the brim of his hat and lifted it slightly: "The meeting in the afternoon was in a hurry, forgive me for not introducing myself yet, under Freddy." ”

Because of the equipment store, Raymond had a good impression of him, so he said: "My name is Raymond, he is Luz, and this is Bath. If you don't mind, let's have a drink together. ”

Freddie didn't have the slightest excuse, and immediately sat down: "Hehe, then thank you." ”

Raymond looked at Luz strangely, and he intuitively felt that meeting Freddie again might not be as simple as a coincidence.

Sure enough, after a moment, Freddy was the first to speak, "Several of them are first-rate, even among adventurers, why have I never heard of your name?" ”

The secret path really came to find out the details, and Raymond was even more sure of his "righteous speech" in the afternoon, I'm afraid it wasn't so simple. He coughed dryly, and pretended to be reassuring: "You have helped us a lot, I won't hide it from you." The so-called adventurer is just an identity that we only get for the convenience of our actions, in fact, we haven't taken on many tasks at all, and of course we are not famous. ”

Then, he lowered his voice and said, "In fact, we do everything in private, so that we have more oil and water, and we don't have to have a senseless moral burden like adventurers, you understand?"

Hearing this, Luz glanced at Raymond, obviously not understanding why he had suddenly lied. But the clever Beamon did not show any abnormality, and remained silent on the surface.

Raymond's words are true or false, not only concealing their own origins, but also fitting their bold move of making trouble in the equipment store and daring to take action against the garrison, and the other party can't believe it.

And the reason for this is that Raymond intuitively felt from Freddie's mysterious actions that the purpose behind this person may not be the kind of light that can be seen. Therefore, setting your identity to be the type that Freddie expects will make it easier to gain his trust.

Unaware that he had been calculated by Raymond, Freddie showed a "as expected" expression. He laughed and said, "No wonder a few people are so careless, I really appreciate that." ”

Raymond sighed deliberately: "Don't mention it, I was almost knocked by the shopkeeper, and the last few orders of business have all lost money, which is really unlucky." ”

Freddie said quietly: "So, are you very short of money?"

"Money?" Raymond's eyes lit up.

At this time, Lutz was very cooperative and said, "We will always be short of money. ”

Freddie's eyes flashed with joy, and he said sincerely: "To be honest, with a few skills, you really shouldn't be bothered by such a trivial matter. I happen to need the help of a few people with such skills here, I wonder if you are interested?"

As he spoke, he added: "In addition, the remuneration is a figure that will definitely not disappoint you. ”

Xindao This guy really came prepared, and Raymond pretended to be interested and said, "What are you doing?"

Freddie shook his head: "I'm sorry, please forgive me for not being able to reveal it. As long as you are willing to follow me, you will know when the time comes. ”

Then, he took out a small bag from his bosom and slammed it on the table: "Here is a gem worth 10,000 gold coins, which is considered a deposit." When it's done, we'll give you more, so you're satisfied, right?"

With that, Freddie sat back in his chair and confidently waited for Raymond's reaction. It seems that he has decided that Raymond will not hesitate to agree.

Seeing that Raymond stretched his waist, he leaned back into the chair like him, and then smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, I refuse." ”

"What?" Freddie straightened up in disbelief.

Raymond picked up the bag of gems, flipped it in his hand, and then threw it back to Freddy: "Although we do everything, we never do anything foolish, this is the first principle that we can live to this day." ”

"You..." I didn't expect Raymond to come with such a hand, Freddie's eyes flashed with anger, and he stood up with the table propped up.

Raymond still looked so angry, leaning back in his chair leisurely, smiling at Freddie's gaffe.

"If it's money, I can increase it. Taking a slow breath to calm himself down, Freddie said unrelentingly.

"Either tell us what to do, or don't talk about it. ”

Raymond's non-negotiable attitude gave Freddie's self-confidence a considerable blow. He looked at Raymond viciously, and his pale face even turned a little red.

As Armada said, Raymond has a talent for driving people crazy. With that annoying smile, he leisurely showed the calmness that prevailed, and he looked like if you don't follow my pace, let's talk about everything.

This kind of posture is natural, and there is no pretentiousness.

Before sitting down, Freddie was absolutely confident that he could convince the lawless guys. After contact, he realized that the opponent in front of him was not simple.

Freddie's mind raced through thoughts, quickly comparing the possible consequences. After a moment, he unexpectedly owed to Raymond: "In that case, then let me not come, good night." ”

With that, he grabbed the pocket on the table and turned to leave, without any attempt to negotiate.

This time, it was Raymond's turn to be surprised. He originally thought that even if he couldn't get Freddie to tell his purpose, he would be able to provoke the other party to lose his temper and get more information.

However, this person is more able to control his emotions than he imagined, and once he realizes that things are out of control, he leaves immediately, and does not make any unnecessary redemptions.

Originally, Raymond was just a little curious about Freddy's deliberately approaching purpose, so he gave the other party a set, but he didn't delve into it, at most it was just to see what he wanted to do.

However, Freddie's unexpected performance piqued Raymond's interest. This person is not a small role, and the purpose behind it is probably not so simple.

So, he said to Baste, "Follow and see where that guy goes." ”

Throughout, Catwoman focused on a table full of food, and the confrontation between Raymond and Freddie didn't affect her in the slightest.

Hearing Raymond's words, Basz nodded and stood up with a wipe of her mouth. He hiccuped viciously, and then disappeared into the crowd of people in the tavern in three or two clicks.

At this time, outside the tavern, Freddie, who had walked out, turned and walked into an alley. In the alley, a man was already waiting there.

"How's it going, sir?" the man saluted when he saw Freddy.

Freddie sighed, "Failed. ”

"What, how?" said the man, in surprise.

Freddie smiled in a calm voice: "I accidentally saw their skills in the afternoon, I thought it was just a few outlaws who were short of money, but I didn't know that the guy named Raymond was much smarter than I imagined." I thought I could find a few useful victims, but it seems that I made a mistake. ”

"So, do you want to—" the man said, making a gesture of slicing his palm.

Freddie shook his head: "Forget it, they don't know anything, there's no need to provoke this kind of guy, one bad will be bad." ”

As he spoke, he asked, "What do you say over there?"

The man said: "They have already promised to cooperate with us, and they will do it tomorrow after the county lord leaves the city." ”

Freddy nodded and said, "Then act according to the original plan, and when they succeed, you will immediately lead the troops over, and don't let any of them go." ”

As he spoke, his voice was cold: "Remember, there must be no mistakes in this matter, otherwise you and I will not want to live." ”

The man was so frightened that he hurriedly bowed his head: "I understand." ”

"Alright, let's go. Freddie pressed the brim of his hat and walked away with the man.

However, neither of them noticed that on the roof behind them, a pair of bright gold and silver eyes were hidden in the darkness, watching their movements the whole time.

Half an hour later.

“... Eventually, they entered an inn in the city, and there was no more unusual behavior. Bath reports to Raymond the results of her tracking.

After speaking, she couldn't help but add: "That inn is so beautiful, young master, let's stay there tonight." ”

Raymond automatically ignored the last sentence and asked, "Is there any obstacle?"

"You say that..."Baste slapped him in the face: "Actually, there have always been two people who have been protecting them in the dark, and the skills used are very suitable for acting in the dark, so they should be the so-called human thieves." ”

"Why didn't you just say something so important?" Raymond said in surprise.

Baste said unconcernedly, "Because they didn't get in my way, I easily avoided those two guys, and they didn't even notice my existence the whole time." ”

"God, when are you going to mature me a little bit. Don't think that you don't report it, it's important information. Raymond knocked her angrily.

Catwoman covered her head and said aggrievedly: "Two thieves with very bad skills, what is there to care about? If I do it, I can easily kill them." ”

At this time, Luz said indifferently: "First of all, this means that the person named Freddie has an unusual identity, and secondly, it shows that they have something to hide, and they don't even want people to know where they live." ”

"Oh, that's it..."

"Ah, you're big, keep it in my head. Raymond angrily poked his finger at Bathter's head.

"Meow, young master, it hurts to death!"

At this time, Lutz said, "Young Master, according to Bath, they seem to be talking about who they are going to attack, what do you want to do?"

"What do you think?" Raymond asked rhetorically.

Lutz said: "The other party's origin is unknown, and what he wants to do has nothing to do with us, so I think it's best to ignore it." ”

"That's a good point. Raymond clapped his hands: "But Lutz, you are good at everything, but you are too negative and lack the most basic curiosity." ”

"So, are you going to intervene?" said Lutz calmly, not in the slightest hint of Raymond's teasing......

"Who said that, I'm not that boring. Raymond shook his head, but then said, "But I'll go and see, right?"

Lutz: ......

"Anyway, I haven't figured out what to do since I left the Northern Wastelands, and it's better to have fun than to do nothing. With that, Raymond stretched: "Okay, find a hotel and get a good night's sleep, and see what those guys want to do tomorrow." ”
