Dream of the Century - War of Faith Chapter 5 Grave Digging
The conversation in the hall is over.
Carlin and Esther sat next to Noel who was eating and Amon who was already full. Romani had already finished eating, and it would be too deliberate to listen any more. They had to either leave or go up to talk.
Romani was very curious about the rumors about Twilight Street, so he stepped forward and put his hand on Karin's shoulder. "I'm interested in the things you mentioned about Twilight Street. Do you mind if I get involved? The harvest will be divided according to the number of people after getting it. How about that?"
.”
"To be honest... we are just doing business, not taking any risks." Carlin knew that he had misunderstood something. Anyway, he had to eat first and talk about other things later.
"Visiting the prophet is not an adventure job. As for Dusk Street, it is probably about my family's treasures, and it is impossible to share them. If your strength can be recognized by me, I don't mind paying a commission." Esther spoke.
Amon looked suspiciously at whether the pervert in front of him had some hidden agenda.
"The family heirloom of a legendary explorer is really not something I should share, but I am very curious about such rare objects. Meeting and learning about them is also a part of the adventurer's journey. So, please be sure to hire
For me, a smaller commission is not a problem. If there is a test, I can do it at any time."
Carlin had no opinion, so he looked at Esther to see what he was planning.
"What are you good at?" Esther asked.
"Swordsmanship, spells and keen perception. For example, the man next to you exudes faint dark power. This is why I have been staring at him since I came here." Romani pointed at Amon.
[The power of darkness, Mo Nan’s kind?] Carlin didn’t look too surprised.
"Tsk, I'm more inclined to think that he is a pervert with evil intentions." Amon rolled his eyes and looked at the person in front of him while holding his shoulders.
Hearing the dark power, Knowl paused. He looked up at the two of them and continued eating.
Carlin used the emblem to contact Esther. [I always feel that this is an unprofitable deal. Do you accept it? 】
[It is not unacceptable to pay some commission for family heirlooms.] Esther has also mastered the basic use of emblems.
[If you want to beg for insurance, then take it. After all, I don’t know what is in the alley, but don’t tell him what the contents are specifically.] Karin continued calmly.
[It’s like I know what the situation is now.] Esther always felt that it was a bit strange not to speak, so she picked up a snack on the table and stuffed it into her mouth.
[Twilight Alley has never done any harm. I don’t think there are any enemies in it. Anyway, it’s up to you to decide.] Carlin continued to eat.
"Swordsmanship?" Esther smiled after swallowing the food. Although his swordsmanship was not as good as his knowledge, it was close to the level of a swordsman master. So he took a knife and fork and planned to test the opponent's situation. "Then let me help you.
Give it a try and be prepared."
"Come on." Romani took a knife from the table.
Esther's knife was quickly shot down by the opponent.
"Not bad, not bad. It's awesome. The swordsmanship is close to the master level, but the speed and reaction are surprising." Esther estimated the average day's commission for a senior explorer and quoted a price. "It was probably in the evening.
It’s not about living a long life, that’s all.”
"Then we will cooperate happily." Romani put down the knife and stretched out his hand to shake Esther's hand.
Karin had finished eating the rest of the food and stood up. "In this case, it's almost time. Let's go. Go early and get ready."
"Let's go." Esther put down his knife and fork. "I'll contact you back in the evening." He handed the deposit to the new explorer, and then followed Carlin to visit the prophet.
"Okay, I just want to meet this prophet." Noel also stood up.
Carlin took Esther outside the Golden Sheep. However, the restaurant was not open at this time, and the casino opposite was also closed.
Maybe these two are closed during the day.
"Restaurant?" Esther raised her eyebrows.
"It is indeed here, but it seems to be temporarily closed. I don't know what time it usually opens. Sure enough, I have been running in the wild for too long, and I am no longer sensitive to these things. How about we go to Dusk Alley to have a look first?
"
Esther thought about whether it had something to do with the other party's identity as a prophet, and observed the nearby buildings. There were many shops on this street, and civilians would also patronize them, but the civilians living in the capital were not too poor. "No.
You said there won’t be any clues until the evening, and if we go there, the guy I paid to hire will have to go with him."
After saying that, he walked to a nearby shop. "Excuse me, what time does that restaurant usually open? Is the boss out of town for something?"
"That store is high-end. It's only open at night, and the private rooms only accept reservations." The store owner said casually.
"That's probably it. I got in through the directions from the casino next door." Carlin came up and added in a low voice.
"Reservation? Is there any contact information? I didn't see the receptionist accepting reservations during the day." As Esther chatted, she looked at the store to see if there were any interesting products and took care of business for the time being.
"Then I don't know. Only big businessmen know how to eat at that restaurant. It is said that their specialty roasted whole lamb costs hundreds of linseys, tsk tsk."
This shop is an ordinary rice shop, full of grains, nothing interesting.
"Anyway, there's nothing to do now, so why not go check out the places and find a place first? Maybe the things in the alley will resonate with you. If not, there's no loss, right?" Carlin said.
"Go back to the association and ask. They have more information. Why don't you just go to the alley? Then go call the guy named Romani." Esther bought some dry food.
"It's okay, I just don't understand why you need to invite him." Carlin thought it was completely unnecessary. "You don't have to spend the money."
"Whatever happens, having more cannon fodder is always a good thing. I don't think it will be that simple." Esther thinks that having more cannon fodder will not do it, although he will not give up voluntarily.
"Indeed. Forget it, I shouldn't care about this issue. Shall we go to the association now?" Tutu asked.
So the two of them went to the association to ask for information. There were not many explorers in the association at this time, and there was no need to queue.
"Can you ask the association to contact the owner of the golden sheep and say that the descendants of Pasfield hope to meet before dusk today?" Esther will discuss with the association's task entrusting staff to see if this commission can be completed.
"Mr. Esther wants to find Master Camille? This is not part of the commission, and during the handover, Master Camille has always contacted the association's staff unilaterally, and every time it is at night."
"I'm not sure who I'm looking for, but it seems that the other party is also looking for the descendants of Passfield. I didn't know about it before." Esther was also a little surprised that the owner of the restaurant was Camille. "Only at night.
What? It seems like we can’t get in touch before the investigation? Thank you then."
"If you had this intention, the master would have been able to contact you long ago." The counter lady shook her head.
"Oh, one more thing. We need to copy something. Is there any price that can help speed up the copying and save time on writing the book?" Carlin asked.
"The association does not sell extraordinary items that speed up copying, but maybe the Mage Association does." The counter lady did her duty.
"Let's go, go back to the hotel and call someone, let's go to Dusk Alley and have a look." The meaning of the Esté Journal Association is somewhat different from the information I got from Carlin that the other party wanted to find Pasfield, but the distortion of the information does not count.
Strange thing.
"Okay, let's go." Carlin didn't find the items he needed, so he was about to go back to the hotel. On the way back, he planned to communicate with Esther. "Well, Mr. Esther, maybe I should correct it.
Let me explain. Ms. Camille does not claim to be a prophet, she just knows a lot of things that I think she cannot know, and I personally think this is the first time we have met."
Noel was silent all the way, except for the occasional yawn.
"There are also some personal reasons, so I personally call her a prophet. But she asked me to find the heir of your family, which is true." Carlin added.
"According to the association, it's easy for the other party to contact me, but we'll find out in the evening. Although there's nothing to lose by postponing the exploration of the alley until tomorrow, we'd better take a look today." Esther didn't care before.
Carlin did not give all the information.
In a daze, Romani seemed to have been waiting at the hotel for a long time. When he saw them, he went up to say hello.
Carlin took advantage of the time arranged by Esther and went upstairs to talk to Gabru and indicate where he and Esther were going. But Chester hadn't woken up yet, and Gabru was watching him. "Let him wait until he wakes up."
Don't rush out. Just say that Mr. Esther, Noel and I have gone to do some business and will be back in the evening."
Gabru nodded, opened his mouth, then closed it again not knowing what he wanted to say.
"If he really can't stay, just say that we are in Dusk Alley to save him from running around. Before we say goodbye, I hope you can get out of this situation as soon as possible." Carlin knew that it would be useless to say more, so he went down after making arrangements.
ready to go.
"It's better not to irritate him, I'll keep an eye on him." Gabru shook his head.
"It's okay, we'll be back as soon as possible." Karin went downstairs.
"I plan to go there early and stay there for a while. Do you plan to go there at dusk or come with me now?" Esther asked in the lobby.
"Let's get together now. There's nothing to do if we stay here anyway." Romani agreed readily.
