Chapter 102 Doro's Enemy, Gratitude, and Friendship
"We sincerely welcome your presence, and at the same time, thank you again for your valuable assistance to our Chamber of Commerce." After respectfully inviting Moriarty into the beautiful and unique Chamber of Commerce living room, Eve sincerely thanked him with another salute.
Today's daughter of the Chamber of Commerce is obviously dressed up carefully. She wears a slim-fitting beige skirt and a waist-length white gauze blouse, which immediately reveals the graceful curves of the young girl. Without the darkness and snow,
No matter how hard it is, Eve's pretty face looks so cute and lively after applying some powder. Especially with a little silver eye shadow, her royal blue eyes are slightly rippling like lake water, with extraordinary brilliance.
.
"You don't have to be so polite, Miss Eve." Moriarty smiled faintly, returned a gift to the bright girl, then sat down in the guest seat and said: "Speaking of which, I am also one of your clients of the Chamber of Commerce, and we have cooperated with each other for several years.
Pleasant. Therefore, I personally do not want to see your business suffer innocent losses due to some despicable crimes."
"Haha, we are really lucky and honored to have a guest like you." Eve sat down next to Moriarty, smiled happily, then blinked again, as if doubtful and said: "But, in the end, I
How should I call you? Mage Moriarty, Sir Ensborg, or Mr. Adventurer Morty?"
"This is Brakada, and my identity is a mage."
Moriarty was not surprised that the Doro Chamber of Commerce would find out that he had concealed his name and joined its caravan to secretly come to Azurite City. However, this was not a big deal, and the girl from the chamber of commerce was just joking to bring up the old story.
, so Moriarty does not need to avoid anything when answering, neither denying nor defending.
"How is Steward Franklin doing lately? I haven't seen him for more than a year?" At this time, Moriarty suddenly asked.
"Uncle Franklin was sent north by his father to deal with some new trade routes a few days ago. You know, everything is difficult at the beginning. There are many things that only an old man like Uncle Franklin can take over." Moriarty asked Franklin,
In fact, it can be regarded as a goodwill signal, so Eve smiled and answered frankly: "But in a few days, the matter in the north should be over. By then, Uncle Franklin will naturally come back to Bracada.
Online helmsman.”
"Yes." Moriarty nodded noncommittally, and then changed the topic: "I heard that the four thieves captured the night before yesterday have confessed separately. They came here after being hired by an organization in Erathia.
There is an attack in Azurite City, and the target is you, Miss Eve. In this regard, does your Chamber of Commerce have any more clues to provide? After all, there are already mid-level professionals involved in this incident. In a similar situation
Among the cases, it can be said to be quite rare. Although I am not responsible for the follow-up matters of this case, it may be a bit abrupt to ask here."
"Master Moriarty, I am Abbas Saidan, the captain of Miss Eve's guard. Regarding the thieves, can I answer the question on your behalf?" At this time, the "Guardian of Earth" who had been standing behind the girl
"Suddenly he took a step forward and said to Moriarty.
"Of course, please tell me." As a mid-level warrior, his strength is enough to gain the full respect of Moriarty. Moriarty immediately nodded to the other party. Moreover, bloody content such as assassinations and sneak attacks has nothing to do with warrior professionals.
Abbas's communication can also be less scrupulous and smoother.
"The people who attempted to attack Miss this time are from the 'Insects of Shadow', and the person who hired them should be our old rival 'Mayflower'. Although we have not obtained any conclusive evidence to prove this so far. , but I firmly believe that is the case.”
"Insects of Shadow...I have heard of this name before. It seems to be a new underground thieves group that has emerged in the past fifty years. It has a somewhat shady background. Because of its extreme behavior, it has been wanted by the kingdom a long time ago. But For some reason, this organization is really like a centipede, and it is always difficult to eradicate it." Moriarty recalled some of the secret information he had obtained when he was in the Ensberg family: "It's just that the shadow insect has always been They are all known for being harsh and cruel to their subordinates. It is hard to imagine that the four captured thieves betrayed them so easily."
"Those four people were just temporarily hired peripheral elements, and their strength level was only second or third level. Only the killed Clem was a formal member of the Shadow Insect. On the way to Blue Crystal City, this Thieves with fifth-level warrior levels have made tentative attacks on us several times." Abbas further explained: "However, because its 'grey shadow halo' has extraordinary gains in speed and concealment, every time I can retreat calmly even if I miss a hit. If it weren't for your magical suppression, Master Moriarty, two days ago, it would have been very difficult to take down Climb."
"That's right." Moriarty nodded and asked: "Then what about 'Mayflower', why is it so hostile to Miss Eve that she wants to hire a murderer to get rid of her? Unlike the insect of shadow, The 'Mayflower Mutual Aid Association' is one of the formal large-scale chambers of commerce in Erathia, and is famous for its enthusiasm for charity."
"Hmph, those hypocritical despicable people are just trying to win people's hearts and make profits under the guise of helping others." When Moriarty mentioned the Mayflower, Abbas's face immediately showed a strong look of contempt and disdain, and Such an expression had never appeared even when I was talking about the thief Climb just now.
"Abbas!" Seeing that the middle-level warrior couldn't control his emotions, Eve immediately shouted softly.
Abbas also reacted immediately and retreated without saying a word.
"You also know that business competition is sometimes fierce and cruel. For the expected profits, too many businessmen dare to sacrifice their heads to the sharp guillotine. As for spending some money and hiring some dark forces to eliminate competitors, you can It's the cheapest business." Eve didn't seem to want to talk too much about the turmoil between Doro and Mayflower. She just made a few understatements and changed the topic again: "Haha, although you have said that before. I said that there is no need to express my special thanks for your help, but as a representative of the Doro Chamber of Commerce, I must strictly abide by the past traditions of the Chamber of Commerce."
"Oh? Tradition?" After hearing this, Moriarty looked up at the other party and said.
"Yes, it is the tradition of repaying kindness. Although a small gift cannot fully express the Doro Chamber of Commerce's sincere gratitude to you, but you still must accept it." After saying this, Eve took out a gift from her arms. A small pink and white bag was gently handed to Moriarty: "And, I believe you will like this gift."
"This is..." Moriarty took the white bag that still contained some kind of body temperature. His clear eyes flashed faintly and he immediately asked: "Is this a space bag?"
"Oh, yes. But to be precise, this is a pocket space pocket." Eve keenly noticed the flash in Moriarty's eyes, and then replied with a slightly proud smile.
Pocket space pocket, a type of small space storage magic props.
Ordinary space pockets generally have a built-in space volume of five to ten cubic meters, which can be used by users to store any inanimate items. According to the level of magic props, even the smallest five-cubic-meter space pocket is classified as intermediate or above.
At the same level, the local price in Blue Crystal City is as high as 50,000 gold coins. It can be said that an inch of gold is worth an inch. Due to problems with the production process and basic materials, most of the built-in space of the pocket space pocket does not exceed one cubic meter. But such a small volume usually does not
It is used by warriors or legal professionals, so most of the owners of pocket space pockets are big businessmen and nobles who need to carry precious items with them. They are mainly used to store gems, antiques, artworks, cash orders, etc. Although it contains
The volume is much smaller than an ordinary space pocket, but the market price of a pocket pocket, a magic item between low-level and mid-level, is still over 10,000 gold coins, which is far beyond the reach of ordinary people or low-level professionals.
Moriarty took the white pocket bag in his hand, looked it up and down, and then opened it.
"One point per cubic meter, it can be regarded as the best among similar props."
Under the scanning of mental power, various data in the space pocket were read one by one in Moriarty's mind.
"Huh? What is this?"
I saw a faint flash of light, and in Moriarty's hand there was a piece of dark blue copperplate paper about half a meter square. On this heavy plate paper, there were densely carved a series of fascinating words.
There were dazzling characters, formulas and graphics. However, due to the professional sensitivity of an excellent alchemist, with just a glance, Moriarty was able to confirm that the unknown item in his hand was actually an alchemical blueprint. However, this blueprint seemed to have been processed through
As if it had been tossed for a long time and arduously, there was a mottled patina-like stain on the surface that covered most of the paper, making the various writings on the drawing appear blurry.
"A pocket space pocket, plus an alchemy blueprint, is such a thank you gift too heavy?" Moriarty looked at the alchemy blueprint for a while, then put it back, and then placed the pocket next to the alchemy blueprint.
On the coffee table between them, Eve asked with a half-smile.
"It's not heavy. In my opinion, it's suitable for use." The girl from the Chamber of Commerce looked back at Moriarty with a smile and said calmly.
"So, what do you hope to get, or what does your Chamber of Commerce hope to get? You and I both understand that the basic principle of businessmen is equal exchange. Therefore, in the face of this 'thank you' worth tens of thousands of gold coins, I
I really don’t know what to pay for.”
"Haha, gold coins and such are just crude numbers, not worth delving into. If I really want to gain something, it is your friendship, Master Moriarty." Having said this, Eve stood up slowly.
He stood up, smiled lightly, his eyes were calm and persistent: "In my opinion, your friendship is priceless."
Looking into the girl's eyes that were as clear as sapphires but extremely clear, for a moment, Moriarty seemed to understand why Doro's enemies would try their best to eliminate the girl in front of him.
Because this Eve does indeed have the extraordinary qualities to become a top businessman.
