Duan Qing didn't touch a drop of the wine from the Rust Tavern in the end, but the three, which sounded the most exaggerated, was finally accepted by him.

Why...... He couldn't say it himself.

"Just put it here."

With the smirk on his face from the first meeting with them, Gar finally led them to the harbor on the edge of the city, and then pointed to an old-looking warehouse, and beckoned all the figures who had secretly approached them: "This is our ...... Well, the temporary warehouse of the Gard Chamber of Commerce, although it looks a little shabby, but it is absolutely safe, absolutely safe......"

"If it's not safe here, you must not be at ease yourself."

Looking at the unidentified figures who surrounded their convoy again, Duan Qing sighed helplessly, "There are still ...... Isn't this a harbor warehouse, why would a mainland merchant like you come here? ”

"The business scope of our chamber of commerce is very wide, I should have said it before." The lewd man explained nonchalantly: "Although the sea transport on this continent is not very developed, and there is no cargo here, there are still many ships departing from here every day, and they always hope to conquer the pirates, conquer the sea, cross this insurmountable barrier, and go to the other side of the continent to have a look......"

"Many of you adventurers have this desire." Speaking of this, he put his eyes on the center of the square not far away: "So...... There was a lack of trade, but there was never a shortage of demand for ships. ”

"Nowadays, when the shipbuilding industry is not very developed, even with the blessing of magic, there are very few people who can bring back the cruise ship that has gone deep into the ocean completely." The blue-haired woman also said, "But...... That's not why this warehouse's warehouse is so popular. ”

"Uh...... Aha! Facing the woman's eyes floating over again, Gal lowered his head a little embarrassed: "Of course, the cheap price is naturally one of the reference values for businessmen to make choices, and everyone knows very well that the land here is not valuable......

"The lord of Liberty City seems to be very unfavorable about this place."

Whispering Liuyu, who was holding his arms, turned to look at the City Lord's Mansion on the northwest side, and suddenly said thoughtfully: "Aside from the relationship deliberately for the development of the player, his idea is indeed a bit unpredictable, even from the perspective of the nobles of those principalities, they should also vigorously develop this place......

"Maybe there are some unknown reasons."

Glancing around the surrounding environment, Duan Qing also lowered his voice: "A place is artificially abandoned, maybe because they deliberately did it, or it may just be an illusion on the surface, but since adventurers can rely on this place as a stronghold, whether it is burning, killing, looting, or abducting, there will always be enough space for them to survive here, and the so-called urban planning and the ideas of the city lord are just a kind of rhetoric for them to be able to justify themselves, which is secretly ...... I don't know how much force or blood was shed. ”

"Didn't you say you hadn't developed much in the city...... I don't think there's much opportunity to learn about that. He turned his head and looked away from the blue-haired woman's face, "But as newcomers, we naturally don't have much time to deal with these relationships." ”

"The owner...... Uh, no, Lord Garr. He pointed to the convoy that was about to be cleaned up by the locust-like black shadows, and showed a usual smile: "Is this okay?" Is there anything else you need to do? ”

“…… Ah, no. The other party was stunned for a moment, and then resumed his standard lewd smile again: "Thank you for your strong support and trust in the caravan, we will give you a membership of the highest level, if you need anything in the future, you can ...... it."

"I just want to know when you'll be able to fulfill our request."

Stretching out his hand to interrupt the other party's words, Duan Qing's eyes stared at the other party tightly: "Our intention should have been roughly explained before, as a 'credited' businessman who made a guarantee, you should always give a time to complete it, right?" ”

"Hmm......" Garr's voice became stumbling, "We are not profiteers who play on words, and we will always give you a satisfactory answer, but it will take some time, some ...... Uh, the time to prepare ......"

"I don't know what wonderful methods you have, but I'm not going to inquire about them."

Waving to a few players who were staying not far away, Duan Qing looked around at everyone here again, and then left his last words as he walked in the direction where his companion was: "Rust Tavern, in five days, we will visit you again in that place, if you are not there, or disappear early......"

"Outsiders also have the stubbornness of outsiders." He looked back and smiled, "Trust me...... It's not too difficult for us to solve this warehouse of yours. ”

“……”

Without waiting for the lewd man to give his own answer, a swarthy man suddenly appeared in the air between him and Duan Qing, and then put down the crowbar that had just been used to pry open the carriage, and looked at the somewhat arrogant adventurer with straight eyes. The silent confrontation suddenly permeated the corner of the harbor wharf, raising the tense atmosphere abruptly, and in the action of the smiling uncle and others standing in the back hurriedly raising their shields to rush forward, the nervous voice belonging to Gal immediately sounded behind the swarthy man: "Don't don't, everyone is their own people, their own people...... Ahem. ”

"Stand down, Mueller." He cleared his throat and then assumed the posture of a superior person: "He's our customer now, don't be too rude to them." ”

The man, who was half a head taller than Duan Qing, ignored Gar's words, but continued to stare at Duan Qing's face until beads of sweat appeared on both foreheads, then he quietly raised his crowbar and walked in the direction of the warehouse in the corner without looking back. The whisperer on the side gradually relaxed his hand holding the hilt of the sword, and the lewd man who was blocked by that person also breathed a sigh of relief, and then put on a smiling face again, and explained to Duan Qing in a low voice: "He is Mueller, the boss of this warehouse, and I also spent a lot of money to invite him here......"

"Guards? Security guard? Duan Qing asked in a low voice, "Or is it the mercenary you found?" ”

"He used to be a gold medal fighter in the Tarla Gang, but he was cleared for violating the gang rules, and after struggling for a long time in the north of the city, he escaped here and survived." Gal also involuntarily lowered his voice: "Now that he has fought many times, this is also his territory, you know, such a person values his homeland very much, so ......"

"Okay, okay, I see."

Glancing in the direction of the warehouse door that was gradually closed, Duan Qing made an expression of spreading his hands: "That's why the reaction is so big, right?" It's okay, I should be even happier to have such a big guy under you......"

"Where, there are really not many subordinates in our Chamber of Commerce, and it is already very good to be able to maintain normal operation......

"It is an honor to be our first partner in town, Your Excellency Gal, and hopefully we will have more opportunities in the future......"

"No problem, no problem, hahahaha......"

"Hahahaha......"

The routine business blowing was staged in front of all the players present, bringing the atmosphere in this corner of the dock back on track again, but a few people who were more familiar with Duan Qing couldn't help but wipe a cold sweat, and then quietly walked away towards the exit of the dock in turn. It didn't take long for Duan Qing's figure to appear in an alley outside the dock, and while stuffing the crumpled note that a certain merchant had forced into his waist, he pouted and muttered: "What other business cards do you want to give, do you think there is really a possibility of cooperation between us......

Paragraph ...... Aoyama, you don't really believe this guy, do you? ”

The whisperer on the side glanced back at the direction of the empty dock, and then tugged at his arm: "I really gave him everything...... That's our tribute to the lord of the city. ”

"Who said I was going to believe him?"

After confirming that there was no one else around, Duan Qingcai, who tilted his head, finally pursed his lips: "Although I am not a person with superior intelligence, after coming here, I still summed up a truth......

"Don't believe what anyone says."

He whispered, "We'll go and explore that City Lord's Mansion in the evening...... No matter how much the merchant blows the danger there, let's try it ourselves. ”

"Assault?" The smiling butcher exclaimed, "This is too dangerous, isn't it?" Not to mention a free city, even an ordinary town, no one dares to venture into such a place......"

"It's not a storm, it's okay."

Duan Qing waved his hand confidently: "You don't need too many people, just a few of us in the past, in terms of stealth skills and experience, we are confident that we should not be much worse than those real thieves, if we are lucky...... Maybe we can solve all the tasks of this trip. ”

"You can find a place to stay first, and you can find us a place to stay." He pointed to the other players: "As long as you don't mess with ......

"Wait a minute, who of you are going?" The black corn in the corner suddenly asked, "You, whispering...... Who else? ”

"What, you're going too?"

Glancing around at the other people around him, Duan Qing showed a thoughtful expression: "To be on the safe side, it's better for you not to follow, this mission is not very fun, and surviving is the most important thing." Not...... Just three of us in the party......"

The autumn wind in the evening blew over their heads, bringing out the unique whining sound of the cold wind, which seemed to drop the temperature a few points again, Duan Qing's eyes inexplicably stopped on the body of a woman who had been following the team but had not spoken: "Uh......"

"Then add you, okay?"

Showing a helpless expression to the others around him, Duan Qing finally nodded, pretending not to see the blue-haired woman's expression, while walking towards the outside of the alley awkwardly: "Let's make preparations before the battle, food, clothing and tools, we ......"

"Let's go when it's nightfall."

**********************

"They left us here anyway...... Shh ”

In the City of Freedom, in another tavern called Vixis, several players who were temporarily left behind by Duan Qing were gathering together, drinking the cheapest stuffy wine with each other: "Isn't it just relying on your own strength to be stronger, what's so great about the powerful party?" At the end of the day, we still have to serve the general public......"

"Brother Corn seems to have some opinions about Brother Aoyama." The smiling uncle next to the tattered wine table touched his eyebrows slightly embarrassed: "According to what I knew about him before, Brother Qingshan is still a relatively upright person......"

"I'm not trying to say anything, I'm just trying to make an opinion." After a few glances with a few teammates around him, the warrior named Black Corn hesitated and laughed twice: "If there is any good mission or adventure, how good it would be for everyone to go together!" It's not that we can't help, even if we die honorably in the end, we will be satisfied with a few mouthfuls of soup......"

"The Qingshan brothers won't ignore our thoughts, but the current situation is a little delicate." The smiling butcher groaned, "The malice given by this city is too great, and staying here for a long time is definitely not a good plan, if there is a way to complete the task and leave here quickly...... I think I'd do the same. ”

"Captain Aoyama didn't hesitate to dispose of the entire team, presumably with this in mind." The braised crab on the side also nodded: "Since those envoys have thrown us such a big trouble, then we will simply throw it away, this burden of the province is always hanging at the back of the team, and from time to time it also attracts us with all kinds of wolves......"

"From this point of view, the man named Gal should also be a very powerful guy."

"Yes, don't look at him like that, since he dares to eat all the goods, then he must not be afraid that other gangsters will eat him......"

"It's better to throw it to this kind of person early than to carry those burdens, maybe the promise in exchange can really have any effect......

"Don't dream, I don't believe that guy anyway, otherwise Captain Aoyama wouldn't have risked his life to visit the City Lord's Mansion at night, but would sit here and ...... with us."

"This brother."

A sudden voice interjected into the discussion of several people, and at the same time, there was a figure patting the shoulder of the braised crab from behind, and in the background of another wine table standing up in unison behind him, the black corn who had just finished pressing his hands on the table with a bang, and then stood up: "What are you doing?" Eavesdropping on us, huh? Which green onion are you? ”

"It's none of your business."

To the warrior's surprise, the player standing next to them, who also had an ID on his head, didn't pay any attention to the meaning of the black corn at all, but his eyes when he looked at the braised crab showed an obvious hostility: "This brother ......"

"Did we meet at noon today?"
