Section 34 ingenious

"This is...... What's going on?"

Because it was already broken, if you take off the armor-like suit and look closely, you can quickly see the cut on the inside, as well as a small amount of thread left. You don't need any professional eye to observe these things, as long as you are an individual, you can see them.

"Well, it's a sharp weapon. The old woman caressed it gently with her hand, and when it came to tailoring, older women were naturally experienced - even if they didn't know how to tailor, they at least wore enough clothes. Then I sewed it on. ”

"Why is it so badly sewn?" the little girl was still afraid, but fortunately she was already in the carriage at this moment. If it had just been broken in public. Although according to her mother-in-law, she didn't look good, but her face was all lost.

"Well, the line has been pulled off. "The old woman doesn't look at her movements very flexibly, but her vision is actually not bad, and she can see the whole situation clearly. "But what can be maintained when the thread is pulled off?" Oh, that's what happened......

"What's going on?"

"Someone burned the edges of the two pieces of skin with fire, charred and hardened, and tied them together with several threads. The old woman replied. "Oh, the thread is still a thick line formed by folding in half, although it is said to be an emergency measure, and it is not very reliable, but thanks to this treatment, this armor has been worn on you long enough. ”

"But...... What's going on?" There are cuts on the clothes - this can be understood as an accident, but there are seams but no threads...... It was then burned and tied up with thread.

"It's Ashrufat!" the little girl remembered instantly. By the way, Ashrufat was standing in the locker room at that time, obviously just doing something......!

She's not stupid, at least at this age, she's smart. If you take all the circumstances together and think about it, the result seems to be clear.

"There were three of them...... The first is the one who cuts the hole in the armor, the second is the one who sews the hole with thread, and the last one is the one who uses this method to tie the hole back together so that it does not fall off. The little girl said softly. "Maybe there's another one, one who pulls the thread out of the seam. Before I put on my clothes, Ashrufat was the last person to touch clothes, so he was the third person!"

Is that the case, that's why he was in the locker room at that time?

While the little girl and the old woman were discussing this topic, on the other side, someone was furious.

"Rubst, didn't you promise? What's going on?" said Byron, looking furious, scolding at a man who looked cowering. "You earn at least five hundred gold a year in my hands, and now you can't even do this little thing! Didn't you say that I had absolute trust in your tailoring skills?"

"Lord Duke, this ......," replied the cringing tailor. "I can guarantee that as long as you tear open the slipknot, it will ......"

"This gentleman, I've ripped it off. Essien, who was on the side, immediately interjected. "I can swear to God. I tore the slipknot on the spot, as you said, but nothing happened. ”

"But...... It's impossible......"

"Forget it!" said Byron, waving his hand, motioning for the tailor to go down. He is a realistic person, and he knows that some things fail to fail, and they are irretrievable. Although he was furious just now, his reason also returned quickly. Or rather, he was meant to be this kind of person. He wasn't good enough at it, this tailor was his personal tailor, and his craftsmanship was absolutely first-class, but it was the first time he had done this kind of thing. Next time he had to remember that lesson. Experience is still very important.

"Essien, I remember the last time you reported that Aerufat ......" waited until the tailor left, and Byron turned his attention to Essien's side.

"He was dismissive of the mansion you offered. It looks like 50,000 gold Oli is not enough to impress him. Essien cleverly concocted the right words.

"Ashrufat...... Ashrufat...... What does that sound familiar?" muttered the Duke of Byron. "Forget it, since he won't open up, then you'll have to change a colleague. Having said that, our senior supervisor is really knowledgeable, and he can find such loyal and reliable people every time......"

He sighed softly. This kind of person is really hard to find, why did that Skadera come in one after another? Fifty thousand gold Oli, it can't make him tempted! This is already a very large amount of money for the squire and nobles.

"What do you think of him?" asked Byron again. "It has the potential to become...... An uncontrollable factor?"

"Lord Duke, if you let me say it, it's not possible, but very certain. Essien replied.

"How strong is he?"

"He hasn't fought before, but he can come back intact as a mercenary, which is the best proof of his combat skills and vision. And I could feel him...... It's amazing...... Quite strong! Our Daddy Skadera has chosen a good person, and he is indeed a good fit for the position. ”

"Well, it's up to you and Cleo. Try to keep things as secretive as possible...... At least legally. ”

Clio suggested...... Use the same trick as last time. A new type of poison. ”

"Not quite right," Duke Byron shook his head. "The last time it was treated as an emergency. But repeated emergencies can also cause unwanted concern. It's better to use the old way. ”

Now that the monarch has made a decision, Essien can only owe himself to show his obedience. Subsequently, he also stepped down.

"Ashrufat...... Ashrufat...... Someone must have mentioned the name to me...... Who's it? Wait! It's Shirley......" He snapped his eyes open. Now, he remembered where he had heard the name Aerufat!

......

This is already a business district, and beyond that is the docklands. There were a lot of people coming and going, mostly sailors, porters, or shop employees, but there were also a lot of pickpockets mixed in, targeting out-of-town merchants. As the royal city of a country, the scale of underground crime in Eagle Falcon City is also outstanding. At least as Ashruphat walked all the way, he saw at least three successful thefts.

Take a stroll around the Docklands today and you'll be able to take the city around once and for all.

Ashrufat stopped as he saw a familiar figure coming out of a nearby building. That's Ah Jin. It's hard to ignore him, because Akin's size is outstanding, if not outstanding. Many people misunderstand that businessmen are pot-bellied, but most of the businessmen have a normal physical type, and a bun-like figure like Ah Jin is quite rare. Ah Jin was accompanied by several people, none of whom Ashrufat knew, but judging from their clothing and demeanor, all of them were merchants. They talked very speculatively with each other.

Sure enough, Ah Jin had already completed his preliminary work? Ashrufat remembered Ah Jin's previous proposal. It is impossible to hear any conversation about the elven prince on the side of the road, and if you hear it, you can't turn it into an opportunity to make money. In other words, Ah Jin should have been dealing with businessmen from all walks of life during this time.

Ashrufat hesitated, wondering if he should say hello. But Ajin was one step ahead of him when he discovered Ashrufat. He raised his hand and greeted Ashrufat from afar.

In this case, Ashrufat had no choice but to respond.

"Ah, folks, this is what I often say, my good friend Aerufat. Ah Jin patted Ashrufat's back very enthusiastically, and his attitude was so enthusiastic that he absolutely couldn't believe that the two of them had actually known each other for almost a month. "He's in the palace now, isn't he, Ashrufat?"

"Ah...... Right. Ashrufat replied. Ah Jin is telling the truth, a real profiteer usually tells the truth, because sooner or later a lie will be exposed, but the truth is misunderstood - that is the problem of the audience itself.

Several businessmen immediately showed a very polite attitude.

"Last time I was going to do business with him, but unfortunately he wasn't very interested in that. Ah Jin said with some regret. "Ashrufat, in fact, fifty thousand gold Oli is quite a bargain. I still regret your decision. ”

Several merchants looked at Ashrufat's gaze and immediately felt a little more respect.

Ah Jin seemed to want to say something, but Ashruphat felt that he did not need to continue to be the "target" of Ah Jin. So he immediately said that he had something to pass by, and it was a bit rude to stay and disturb everyone's conversation.

"I'll go with you. Ah Jin waved his hand decisively. "It's okay, I'm done with these friends. You've been busy at the palace all this time, and the two of us haven't had a chance to go shopping!"

He said goodbye to several businessmen and left. After walking a little with Ashrufat, Akin's face showed the same look of joy that Ashrufat had seen before. Well, that's the look on Akin's face that night when he resold the blankets and household items he had just bought to Ashrufat.

"Ah Jin, you're playing this trick again. Ashrufat said earnestly.

"What, how can a good friend be so careful, and you didn't lose a piece of meat!" Ah Jin seemed a little dissatisfied. "Well, since you're not happy, why don't I tell you some good news. I've found a new way to make money......"

"Don't tell me it's a risk-free, low-yield trade that you wouldn't even do yourself. ”

"You're looking down on me. This time the sale was a huge profit...... It's a pity that it's a bit risky...... Slave trade, have you ever heard of it?"

"Isn't slavery official for trade?" asked Ashrufat. He knew all the laws related to slaves, because he had purchased them before. The slave trade is a strictly controlled trade in today's countries, and ordinary people would not have fallen to this point unless they were felons (or their families). "Illegal?"

"Of course it's legal!" Ah Jin's expression was quite aggrieved. "Ashrufat, am I really such a person in your eyes who will do anything to make money?"
