Chapter 718 will never fail a second time
"Don't be in a hurry, sir. Nancy squinted, not knowing why she suddenly became interested, and asked, "I want to know more about your shipment so that I can make a decision." For example, who gave you this commission, why did you give it to you, etc. ”
"That's it. Listening to Nancy's words, the middle-aged man rubbed his hands and said, "This is naturally no problem, in fact, it is not a secret." The people who entrusted me were the people of the Western Kana Wizard Family, and they actually did not only entrust me as a merchant group, but also a dozen merchant groups, large and small, and the goods transported were the dowry of the eldest daughter of their family. ”
"Dowry, they're going to marry a daughter?" Gro interjected.
"They are indeed going to marry their daughters. The middle-aged man nodded.
"If you are marrying a daughter, why do you ship goods from the east to the west, and not from the west to the east, is this reversed?" Nancy questioned, "Didn't you just say that the Kana family is in the West?"
"This one is not reversed. The middle-aged man explained, "The main reason is that the Kana family spent a lot of effort to transport a large amount of dowry in advance in order to marry their daughter. As a result, the other party, who was about to marry the eldest daughter of the Kana family, suddenly regretted the marriage, and the daughter of the Kana family could not marry, so she had to transport the dowry back. ”
"And what's going on, why, exactly, why does the other party regret the marriage?" asked Nancy, a curious look on her face.
Gro couldn't help but shake his head in disdain, and said in his heart: "Sure enough, women like to inquire about this kind of useless thing, it's not interesting at all, it's a pure waste of time." ”
Turning his head, Gro looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "What is the other party who regrets the marriage? They regret the marriage, so they are not afraid that the Kana family will be angry? You also said that the Kana family is a wizard family, which means that the other party has a wizard in charge, right?"
"This ......" Faced with Nancy and Gro's many questions, the middle-aged man scratched his head and sorted out his thoughts before saying, "Actually, I don't know the details very well, but I heard that the Kana family is going to marry their daughter, and it is another wizard family, called Melrose."
The Melrose family and the Kana family are family friends, and they have always had a good relationship, and they are both very strong, and there are many powerful wizards in the family. It is for this reason that the two families decided to marry so that they could help each other. Everything was said very well, and it looked like it was about to be done, but something happened not long ago.
And this incident did not affect the relationship between the two families - it did not show itself. But in any case, the eldest daughter of the Kana family has returned, and a large amount of dowry naturally cannot be left here - it must also be shipped back. That's all I know. ”
"That's right. Nancy nodded, a little unsatisfied, and then asked, "Then where exactly are you going to send it?"
"I was commissioned to send it to a city in the west called Lorraine. The middle-aged man said.
"Lorraine?" Nancy's eyes flashed, and she turned her head to look at Gro.
Gro understood, and reached out and pulled out a well-kept note from his bosom.
This note was given to Macbeth when he was on the East Coast, and it had an address written on it - the address of Macbeth's dead female apprentice family.
Macbeth commissioned the two of them to return the schoolgirl's relic, a pendant, to each other's families.
Carefully opening the note, Gro glanced at it carefully, looked up at the middle-aged man, and asked confirmatively, "Are you sure it's a city called Lorraine?"
"Absolutely. ”
"Is it that Lorrainin from the Teda Kingdom?"
"That's right, it's the Kingdom of Taida. The middle-aged man nodded.
Hearing this, Gro and Nancy glanced at each other and quickly reached a consensus.
Nancy looked at the middle-aged man and said seriously: "In this case, well, the two of us can agree to your request - accompany your merchant group and transport goods to Lorrainein in the West." ”
"Really?"
"Of course. ”
"Thank you so much. ”
"No thanks, let's say okay first, we charge for it. ”
"Of course, of course, money is naturally given. The middle-aged man said busily and asked Nancy, "Look...... How about you have ten high-grade crystals for yourself?"
"That's reasonable. Nancy nodded, "But there are two of us, and how much are you going to give?" ”
"Ten high-grade crystals for one person, and twenty high-grade crystals for two people. Gro couldn't help but think to himself, "This is too simple, you don't need to ask." ”
As a result, the next moment, he saw a middle-aged man glancing at him, and said tentatively to Nancy: "Or twelve...... Twelve and a half high-grade crystals?"
"A little less, isn't it?" Nancy frowned and raised the price, "How can I get fifteen." ”
"But......" said the middle-aged man, haggling after regaining his proper character as a businessman, "but I only wanted to hire you alone at first, because I can be sure that you are very strong. As for this companion by your side, ......"
"Well, no more say. Nancy raised her hand and decided, "Twelve and a half is twelve and a half, that's it." ”
"That's good. The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief.
Gro was on the side, speechless for a while: "......"
By the way, no one wants to ask him what he means, he's only worth a quarter of Nancy, what does that mean, it's a bit of a nonsense, is it? Although he really can't beat Nancy, even though he's only a wizard's apprentice, it's not that bad...... Maybe.
Gro thought aggrievedly, but Nancy asked the middle-aged man curiously.
"Hey, you really don't know the specific reason for the Melrose family's repentance?"
"Well, I've actually heard of part of it: it seems to be related to the descendants of the other party's family who came back not long ago. ”
"What's your name?"
"It's like it's called Sherlock, well, Sherlock Melrose. ”
"Sherlock Melrose, that's a weird name......"
......
When the four colors of Mance had just bloomed in their second color, pink, Sherlock, who liked to wear pink, spent a lot of time and hired a lot of people to unload a large number of goods from the large ships that arrived at the port, forming a huge convoy to transport them to inland destinations.
"Squeak squeak!"
"Stop me, robbery!"
The convoy was driving on the road, when suddenly a loud shout rang out.
With this shout, all of a sudden, more than forty ambush figures appeared on both sides of the road, all holding weapons and fierce eyes.
One of them, who appeared to be the leader, strode to the front of the convoy, stopped it, and shouted: "Listen to me, there are forty-seven of me! Yes, forty-seven! If you know each other, leave me the goods in the wagon, and get out!"
As long as you cooperate, I will never hurt anyone, but if you dare to resist, hmph, don't blame me for having more 'Gale' people and less bullying people! I tell you, although I have failed once, I will never fail this second time! Absolutely not!"
