After Granbell led Varudo into the store gracefully, a tiger man with a hunky back in an open box and his legs resting on the table hooked his paws at Granbell.
"As agreed, Belle brought the client." Granbell led Varudo to sit opposite the tiger man.
"Okay." Then the tiger man started to ask the waiter to order food and wine.
This tiger man is the leader of a relatively small and well-known organization that Granbell found in this area.
Behind him is a group of experts with various skills. As long as they are paid, they are willing to take any job, whether it is blood or no blood. If the lord or the country is willing to pay, they can also work as mercenaries. Recently,
I went to clean up a group of incoming mid-level undead and made a fortune.
In several nearby cities, they seemed to have robbed or destroyed many people's jobs and offended many people.
To put it simply, they are a gang of evil gangsters. However, their behavior does not cross the line. Including Tiger Man himself, there are several powerful guys with a difficulty level of over 100, which gives them the capital to gain a foothold.
Granbell found these gangsters, but after speaking a few words, she felt that she was not confident in her speaking skills, so she lied that she was an intermediary and made an appointment for the client to meet at a time and place.
It turned out to be such a super high-end bar, so it seemed that the client had to pay for the food and drinks.
After sending the waiter away, the tiger man sniffed and said, "Hey, the client is a hybrid alien."
"I think it's rude for you to expose other people's race casually." Facing the intimidating tiger man in front of him, Varudo said calmly.
Tiger Man: "Don't be so open-minded. We can't screen clients properly in this industry. So let's talk about it and listen to it."
Varudo: "Recently, you know that the dead zone that was transformed into zombies nearly a hundred years ago has suddenly expanded, and some undead from the realm of the undead have emerged to attack the living, right?"
Tiger Man: "Humph, of course. It's a good opportunity to make money."
Varudo: "Yes, you can earn a lot of money even though it's dangerous, so do you want a more lucrative job?"
At this time, the waiter brought the food and wine. While eating and drinking, the tiger man raised his chin to indicate that he would also eat. Since Granbell must be paying the bill, Varudo and Granbell were not polite. Of course.
The conversation cannot be left behind——
Tiger Man: "Tell me and listen."
Varudo: "It's very simple. Since the undead have poured out of the place where they originally lived, then - since a lot of them have been annihilated, then it is okay to launch an investigation there? I need you to investigate the country of Inberon.
city. I heard that other teams have already taken the lead, so I hope it can be faster."
The border of the Inbelon Kingdom is about three hundred kilometers away from here. In this world without fast transportation, it is a long-term mission. It is accompanied by unknown dangers, and the career of eating this meal has to be weighed.
So Varudo released "There are already other teams taking the lead" to attract the opponent.
Because there is a huge potential benefit in investigating zombified areas: if an entire city or even a country is suddenly zombified, the wealth will definitely not be transferred. If the place becomes empty due to zombies taking the initiative, there will be a chance to seize the wealth on a first-come, first-served basis.
.
The country is exhausted in preventing the undead from invading, and only powerful individuals or small groups can take over this wealth.
Tiger Man: "Hmph, which cities need to be investigated?"
Varudo took out the map, blocked it from the outside, spread it out on the table and made a drawing. The center distance was relatively close to the city where the battlefield of Crounpith vs. the Dragon King of the Rotten Coffin was located.
It's really convenient that they are all in the city of Inberon. It's all caused by Ibiruyai saying that he doesn't want other countries to be implicated in the crusade against enemies. Anyway, the souls are given to the Dragon King of the Decay Coffin to eat the residents who store the "blue tank" of the original magic.
It has been determined by the Dark Night Dead Mage that he cannot be resurrected.
After the war, Crounpisi also raised the level of resurrection magic to the highest level due to upgrading. Even so, it was meaningless. Instead, it destroyed Ibiluai's hope of resurrecting her family.
Now that we have completely given up on the country, we can use the remaining wealth of the country (in fact, most of it was secretly stolen by Crounpis) as part of the reward to achieve Crounpisi's purpose——
Killed the "Destruction Dragon King" Claudius Lampards and killed the "Corrupt Coffin Dragon King" Chua Ilimu who once devoured a large number of national souls and created undead to harm the life of the mainland.
The fact that the country is spreading fear about the crusade of the Dragon Night Dead Mage Kfontara Angelus makes big news.
In short, it is to try to use non-deliberate means to promote the positive image of Crounpith in the Central Continent.
Negotiating with the tiger men of the underworld is just one of the plans - trying to spread the news in a natural way and deliberately using other things to let others make up their own minds after seeing the battlefield.
This is by no means impossible in the Central Continent, because unlike the human kingdom which is exclusive, the Central Continent is rich in races, and Crounpis, who is a mixed-blood elf alien, will not be excluded.
Now Clawnpis is still happily spending time with the locals in the country of hill giants.
Tiger Man took the map, checked it again, and said, "I accepted this commission, so - the reward?"
"This is the deposit." Varudo took out a beautiful large gemstone without saying anything. "If you get detailed information that satisfies me, I will pay you three times the reward."
Tiger Man picked up the gem and checked it. He narrowed his eyes to recognize the authenticity: "This is a long-term commission, at least half a year. During this period, the travel expenses, food, accommodation and other expenses - add two more
.”
Varudo seemed to hold up his chin and thought for a while, then he seemed confused: "It is not easy to raise gems. I am willing to pay with gems just because they are easy to carry. How about this, how about adding three hundred gold coins (much cheaper than gems)
?The rest depends on your results."
Tiger Man: "Add one and get one thousand gold coins."
Varudo: "Add two hundred gold coins."
Tiger Man: "Why is there still less? Is there anyone as tough as you?!"
Varudo: "If you add more, I will continue to cut with you. I told you to see the results, right?"
"Yes, yes, but if there are parts other than the report that you need in the results, they must all be mine." Tiger Man pointed at himself vigorously, indicating that he would not give in on this point.
Tiger Man knows that the opponent's repeated pressure will induce him to transfer the reward to other directions that he must fight for. However, because the possibility of winning is very high, Tiger Man simply jumps.
"Okay, deal." Varudo slapped the table and raised the corners of his mouth.
This means that the remuneration has been agreed upon temporarily. Then comes the written agreement and liaison matters.
