Chapter 41: Rudeness and Message

The road was mostly a continuous convoy of merchants, and occasionally the shadow of mercenaries could be seen in a less ostentatious way. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

David's house is in the far suburbs of Grun, some way from the truly bustling center. At that time, he also thought that there was no disturbance around him, and the environment was quiet. And it's this quietness that makes this the best shelter right now.

The next task was no longer something that David could help with. All he had to do now was go about his business in the city with peace of mind, get his feet on his feet as soon as possible, and then provide some necessary help to Kasia and them in a bright place.

In the end, it was up to Kasia to do it herself, and both of them still had the softest part of their hearts. It was this affection that kept them from being a demon who didn't care about the lives of others, and fat uncles like Davy had a crush on them, and he had two lovely daughters.

And this trip was also planned, with Cassia going to the city of Grun, disguised as a butler of a noble merchant, to find those who were willing to provide information for money.

Dressing up is to expose one's identity in advance in order not to be targeted by people with the same purpose. There are too many new faces in the Gerun Oasis, and it is very likely that you will be out early if you reveal the cards in your hand early.

The cobweb-like road made it easy to get around, and the intaglio maps were memorized in the minds of the memory that had improved dramatically after Kasia's surgery.

Although the progress of the mission has always been vague, when everything is clear as it was yesterday, it can be difficult to start. Like a detailed map, sometimes it's too detailed to be useful.

Kasia was glad that neither of them were on the list, and that this kind of juggling puzzle in the fog allowed him to learn more.

The place he was heading to was the port area on the edge of Grun City, where the giant monsters created by the Imperial Steam Factory were parked. It is also a good place for countless poor people to seek opportunities and food rations.

On the other side of the Oasis, in a modest room, the windows were tightly sealed with a thick black cloth, the gas lamps overhead creaked, and the Gustin group was deliberating on their actions.

Gustin: Their luck is bad, really bad. None of the supply depots on the established route were still standing on the yellow sand, the sand wolves regarded them as great enemies, the sun was against them, and the quicksand followed their footsteps, from the beginning to the end, they clung to them like a pair of undying lovers, and never had any intention of leaving.

The eight people who had gone to the desert had become five people gathered around the edge of a round table, in the middle of which was an identical intaglio map.

"Alright, let's start deliberating on the mission. There was a deep sense of frustration and exhaustion in Gustin's words. A trip to the desert that should have been smooth changed his face completely from the inside out.

"First of all," Gustin said, looking around at the four men who were also tired in their eyes, "we have run out of the most basic ammunition. ”

The remaining four sighed, their bullets were all consumed by the sand wolf. In the end, they walked out of the desert to reach the oasis, still relying on the swords and daggers in their hands to fight hand-to-hand, and each of them had more or less scars on their bodies.

"Moreover, the cost of the medicine has not yet been settled. It was Krichens' voice, rough and dull, his strong body wrapped in yellowed gauze that was the mark of the wound that the sand wolf had left on his body and was beginning to fester.

The claws and teeth of the sand wolf are poisonous, which no one expected. The surgeons in the early stages of the first stage are not omniscient monsters, and they will not hesitate to draw their guns and shoot their enemies in the head. But this is looking in the mirror, and the reverse is the same, their heads do not end up turning into steel, and the bullets just become splinters flying in the air.

Moreover, ordinary bullets can penetrate steel plates of several millimeters.

The five were silent for a while, and in the end, only Gustin spoke.

"Today I also went to the Golden Bank, and our accounts started on the day of the mission, and both the previous private accounts and the current ones given by the military school have been completely frozen. We can't get a penny out of it. ”

"What sad news. Krichens was not controlled by the pain, and now he also quipped with optimism, "It seems that the family wants us to rely on our own skills in the mission." ”

"What about the other teams?"

This is a matter of concern to all. None of them had a very good itinerary, and now there was a feeling of wanting to seek comfort.

"The current news is zero. "You also know the current situation, there is almost no contact by code, and we need to find other ways." But the current problem is our supply. ”

He glanced at the four people at the round table again, and his tone changed: "I think we may have to be rude to get the job done." Now the first thing we need to do is we have to 'borrow' something from the landlord here. ”

The four of them shine together in their eyes, and the things that can be solved with their fists are of course the most popular with them.

Around five o'clock in the afternoon, before Kasia had even entered the port, he had already found the man he needed. The fat man in front of him, whose face has been swollen to the point of puffiness, doesn't look like a guy who eats this mouthful, but a bit like a dead fat man who came over for no reason and almost cheated on drinking.

He took a sip of the glass full of ale in front of him, and then asked the idle bartender at the counter for another glass.

"Let me tell you, young steward, I know all the errand and running news in this area, and I, like you, can barely be counted as their steward. You see, my fat body is not suitable for running around, and my nose and eyes have long been dragged down by the fat all over my body. Introducing himself as Faesdon, he burped, and the smell of alcohol immediately filled the air, but Kasia was just as indifferent, just waiting for him to say something.

Faiston was a little embarrassed for a moment, and the wine sent by the bartender was only half drunk before putting it aside, and then wiped his sweaty face and said, "I used to run errands, and to be able to come to the port, and to be a person like you dressed like this is usually our target." ”

"No, no, customer!" said Faston, knowing that he had slipped his mouth, and quickly smiled and rounded up.

Kasia shook her head, saying that she didn't care about these things, and let him continue.

"The people in the port want to do these jobs, after all, it is easy, and it is much better to get paid than coolies. And we ourselves are gathered together because of the same work, after all, the number of people in each work is at least a dozen people. And because of my size, I also retired. Now I'm doing the same job as the girls outside the tavern who attract customers. ”

"You guys have different groups for these jobs, too?"

"Of course, money comes quickly and easily, as long as you have good eyes, fast legs and feet, and know how to hide yourself like a mouse in a ditch, everyone wants to come and eat this mouthful. And especially in recent times. Faiston's little eyes lit up.

"Are you tempting me?" said Kasia's white-covered face grinned, stiff as a frozen corpse.

"No, no. Faiston sweated behind his back, and he didn't dare to say anything more, "Let's talk about business, it's important to get down to business, your time is worth more than mine." ”

"Let me first introduce you to our business scope. Faiston suddenly became a good person.

It was close to dusk, and in the time that Faeston had drunk seven glasses of ale in a row and hadn't made a trip to the toilet, everything had been negotiated by the two of them.

Cassia paid a quarter of the money and parted ways with Faeston in a modest pub, agreeing to meet again in five days to exchange what they each needed.

When he thought that the matter had really gone on so simply, he returned to his steam locomotive with special small steps, and there were already several smiling people waiting for him.
