Chapter 85 Luo Dai (1)
Even though the secret passage was brightly lit, Alvin still felt a little eerie and strange.
He thought to himself that such merchants who would set up secret passages must be doing shady business, and they were probably shady businessmen. In Saliushi, although he didn't have to be involved in these shady transactions, he had heard about them to some extent.
.
The main reason is that the injury on his hand has not healed yet. He doesn't want to start a fight with others at this time, so he asks Langyun to accompany him. Now that Langyun is separated from the outside, if something happens soon, he will inevitably have to do it.
Take action.
But thinking that Kui Qing would lead him in so openly, it shouldn't be too dangerous. There should be no reason for this little girl to harm herself, Alvin thought to himself.
"Brother, I don't let Langyun follow because he is a local. I'm afraid that people will recognize him and cause unnecessary misunderstandings." Kui Qing saw Alvin's frown and explained to him.
"Then who are you going to meet?" Alvin was curious, why did the locals cause misunderstandings?
"Brother, have you ever heard of the organization Luo Dai?"
Alvin thought about it carefully and said, "Never heard of it."
"The Luodai organization is a huge underground organization. Their business is spread all over the major empires. Let's put it this way, any big city on this continent has their contact point." Kui Qing said.
"Then what business are they mainly engaged in?" Alvin looked at her pointedly.
Kui Qing knew that Alvin probably knew what he was thinking, "Generally, you can go to them for anything you can't buy on the market. As long as it's within their ability, you can buy it with money."
"Such a huge organization shouldn't just do 'these' businesses, right?" he said with a half-smile.
"Brother's brain is still sharp." Kui Qing said with a smile, "Indeed, they still take a lot of assassination orders. There are always some nobles who are inconvenient to kill people themselves, so they will pay for it to be done by 'Luo Dai'."
Alvin thought for a moment and couldn't help but ask: "Does this mean that this organization has an intricate relationship with the nobles of various empires?"
"You can say that." Kui Qing nodded, "But not every noble has the opportunity to come into contact with this organization."
"They only pick people who are useful to them?"
"Actually, to be precise, they will find you on their own." Kui Qing lowered her head and said.
"Ah?" Alvin looked at her strangely.
"Luo Dai will appear when you need it most, as long as you can afford the price." Kui Qing said, "This is a saying that people in their organization often say."
"Oh, it's not about money? Why are you so evil?" Alvin joked.
"Brother, you are wrong. Price does not necessarily refer to money." Kui Qing looked at him and said.
"What else could it be?"
"For example, sometimes the mission is not as simple as killing someone, but it is like stealing information from high-ranking officials," Kui Qing said. "At this time, they will find those down-and-out aristocratic ladies to come forward to complete the mission.
After all, these high-ranking officials are very cautious, and no one with a good face can get into their circle. Once things are done, we can just pay these women a fair amount of compensation."
"Does this mean that this organization will assign difficult-to-complete tasks to people outside the organization?" Alvin asked in surprise.
"Yes, as long as they think you are suitable. Usually when you encounter a difficult problem, only they can help you solve it. Equivalently, you also have to help them solve the problem." She said, "Just like me.
As I just said, they are not the ones who need help from those down-and-out aristocratic girls the most.
Did it show up when it was time for money?”
"Wow, there are such magical skin tissue." Alvin couldn't help but exclaimed softly, and then asked: "Then little sister, how did you... come into contact with them?"
"Brother, what's that look in your eyes? Do you think I also..." Kui Qing stared at Alvin with shame and anger.
"No, I was just asking." Alvin smiled helplessly.
"Humph, you must have misunderstood." The little girl said angrily.
"Then you didn't say anything." Alvin pretended to complain. In fact, he knew clearly in his heart that if that were the case, why would the boy just welcome her in with such a flattering look on his face?
"I did exchange things with them." Kui Qing stopped and whispered.
Alvin was wise and didn't ask any more questions. In fact, everyone has their own secrets, and everyone has something unspeakable. He knew that if he allowed his curiosity to offend him too much, it would be disrespectful, and he couldn't do it.
of.
"Then...their organization isn't afraid that the girls who have done things for them will spread the news about the organization by being careless?" The two of them walked inside, and Alvin suddenly asked.
"Brother, don't you think that the group of elite killers raised by 'Luo Dai' are vegetarians?"
"I understand." Alvin nodded.
After reaching the end of the passage, he turned a corner and dozens of stone stairs appeared in front of him.
Alvin turned around and looked at the structure of the secret passage, thinking to himself that it had opened up several shops.
Kui Qing led him up the stone staircase and knocked on the wooden door blocking the stone staircase.
After a while, the small window on the wooden door opened. After a pair of bulging eyes looked outside, the small window was closed again.
Then I heard the sound of the wooden bolt being pulled, and then the wooden door opened.
A rather short old man stood behind the door and welcomed the two of them into the house with a smile. When Alvin saw him dressed in an exquisite dress, he was quite curious about where this outfit was custom-made. Because this old man
My husband is not tall. To be exact, he looks a bit like a dwarf, but he is not a skinny type either. There is obviously a lot of fat around his waist and abdomen, which makes the buttons of the inner lining very tight.
Alvin glanced at the mahogany stool next to the door and realized that the old man had climbed on the stool to look out the door.
He glanced at the furnishings in the room. The display cabinets on three sides were filled with books covered in sheepskin, and there was a large desk on one side. Two small windows were opened on the top, but now you couldn't even see the night sky, so what?
It shouldn't be the roof.
"Miss Kui Qing is here, sit down quickly, sit down quickly, you have brought a guest?" The short-footed old man glanced at Alvin and said with a smile, "Then there must be big business to discuss today?"
He enthusiastically invited the two of them to sit on the sofa in the center of the room, then picked up the silver teapot gilded with runes from the coffee table and poured two cups of black tea for Alvin and Aoi.
Alvin was not busy drinking tea. He lowered his head and glanced at the wool carpet spread under the sofa. One look at the fabric and color showed that this was no ordinary product. It could even be said that it was of the grade used by the palace.
He thought to himself, this mysterious "Luo Dai" organization is really extremely rich.
"Elder Lu Wen, this is Alvin, he is my eldest brother." Kui Qing said with a smile.
"Alvin?" The old gentleman looked at Alvin and thought about it carefully, then suddenly said: "Could your Excellency be Alvin Feili?"
"How do you know this?" Alvin asked strangely. He asked himself that his reputation was not so famous that it could spread to Tewadedan.
"You don't need to be surprised. Our 'Luo Dai' organization has records of young and talented people from several major empires. It happened that I just read the records about you a while ago, so it's not surprising that I remember you." Lu Wen
The elder said with a smile.
"I?...can I get along with young talents?" Alvin said with a smile.
"You don't have to be modest. We have records of outstanding players in the Pillow Sword Competition. Players like you who are among the top four must have a separate chapter to describe them in detail."
"It's just good luck." Alvin smiled on his face, but in his heart he was wondering what the Luodai organization was doing to investigate the young people from the major empires? Moreover, they had such close relations with the nobles and wealthy businessmen of various countries. Careful
It's so big that it's shocking.
Kui Qing was quite surprised when she listened. Only then did she know that her eldest brother was also one of the top four masters of the Pillow Sword Club. Naturally, she also knew about this triennial event in the Yafei Empire.
"What kind of business are you two here to discuss today?" The elder sat down and started to get to the point. As soon as he sat down, the buttons on his belly were so stretched that they were about to come off his shirt. Because of his short stature,
Because of this, he had to sit upright, because if he leaned back, it would be more like lying down, which would be too rude.
"Elder, we just want to purchase a batch of good ore and sell it in the north." Kui Qing said directly without beating around the bush.
"What grade do you want, and what is the quantity?" Lu Wen and Kui Qing have done transactions several times, so they naturally know that this girl is very wealthy, so they have to confirm the quantity first.
"An ore of this level would require thousands of ounces." She said and glanced at Alvin.
Alvin told her with his eyes that she could just watch and talk, after all, he knew nothing about this.
"The current price of gilt jadeite ore is around 80 rupees per ounce." Elder Lu Wen did not show too much excitement. After thinking about it for a moment, he said: "If you want a thousand ounces, there should still be something like this in the warehouse.
A lot."
"Is there only gilt jadeite ore now? Is there anything new?" Kui Qing was not in a hurry to kill him on the price.
"It seems that Miss Kui Qing has heard something?" Elder Lu Wen asked with a squinted smile.
Kui Qing shook her head in confusion and looked at Elder Lu Wen with wide eyes, waiting for him to continue.
"It seems that Miss Kui Qing doesn't know yet." Lu Wenxiao said, "The organization's exclusive news came back from the Pegasus on the Malode Plain, saying that the original king has returned to the west, and Governor Yuan Yasu has also gone with him.
If you go, Prince Resa will have the final say within the empire from now on."
After Elder Lu Wen finished speaking, he glanced at Alvin. He noticed that the boy's face remained normal after hearing what he said, and thought that these two people must have known the news, so why are they pretending to me? After all, in the battle report he received
But mentioning that Earl Philip also died in battle.
"What exactly is the elder going to say?" Kui Qing asked doubtfully, "As you know, I don't know much about the transfer of power in these southern countries."
"Rong Laosheng, please tell me slowly," Lu Wen said after taking a sip of black tea. "The original King Kelman has always banned the mining of crystallized veins in the Traledi Mountains, but this Prince Resa is different. He is
I have always tacitly allowed the Guangzheng Sect to mine the mineral veins in the mountains."
"Falling crystal? What is that?" Kui Qing asked curiously.
