There was a suffocating silence in the room, and the air seemed to solidify into ice. Roshan narrowed his eyes and looked at Gordon expressionlessly.
"Introduce yourself, you can call me a ghoul. As you know, I come from an assassin organization." Gordon calmly met the other person's gaze, "Assassin organizations like ours usually charge money to do things. So.
When I received the mission to assassinate the Storm Horse Thieves, I was thinking, who paid for the Horse Thieves' lives? Who is the most likely employer behind it?"
Roshan said indifferently: "A merchant who was kidnapped by horse thieves?"
Gordon said: "The Storm Horse Bandits are ruthless and never leave anyone alive."
"Did the horse thief's enemies come to visit?"
"Of course they are enemies, but there are many kinds of enemies."
"Which one do you think it should be?"
"This enemy must be rich or noble. The compensation promised to us by the organization is quite high, which shows that the employer has paid a high price."
"The chiefs of the Kingdom of Sand are all extremely rich, and there are many who can afford to pay to kill people."
"With the strength of the Storm Horse Thieves, if they dared to touch the nobles, they would have been crushed to pieces. So the nobles can be eliminated, and then only the merchants will be left. What kind of merchants would enmity with the horse thieves?"
"Of course it's the businessman whose property they robbed."
"There is another type - businessmen who have been blocked by them. As the saying goes, people who work together are enemies. With the stolen property, the Storm Horse Thieves put their hands into the black market of Crescent City, which will inevitably affect the income of other black market merchants. What the horse thieves did
It is a business without capital, and real black market merchants have to spend money to purchase goods. If things go on like this, horse thieves will annex the entire black market in Crescent City."
Roushanpi smiled and said: "Browning once said a famous saying: 'A real businessman can take risks for fifty percent of the profits; trample the law for one hundred percent of the profits; for one hundred percent of the profits, he can take risks.
The profit of three hundred will pay the price of hanging one's head.'"
Gordon nodded slightly: "For businessmen, blocking their way to make money is a matter of life and death. I heard that the largest black market merchant in Crescent City lives in the Garden District. He has enough reasons and enough wealth to hire assassins to eliminate them.
Horse thief. I caused a gang fight in the market. He immediately received the news and sent a note giving clues to the horse thief.
It is the fastest and easiest to start from the black market. I am so high-profile at the market. Of course he knows that the people to deal with the horse thieves are already in place. He has probably found out that the horse thieves are somehow involved with the Temple of Allah, but he is worried about getting into trouble, so he needs me
Charge into battle for him.”
Roshan was silent for a long time, looking directly at Gordon: "How did you find here? You threatened me with Shana, and what do you need me to do for you?" He raised his right hand, shook the topaz ring on his middle finger, and said in a tone of voice
The coldness left no doubt. "This is also an alchemy ring. Once it is activated, everything within a hundred meters will explode to pieces. If you dare to touch Shana's thoughts, I would rather die with you."
Gordon stared at the ring, the star darts between his fingers still dancing endlessly: "You misunderstood. I didn't know who lived here at all beforehand. Meeting your sister was purely a coincidence."
"Coincidence, oh, I believe it." Roshan said in a sarcastic tone.
Gordon said: "Shana said you are a businessman, and you have entanglements with air pirates. You are probably a black marketeer. When you rushed in, you looked at me very strangely, and you deliberately sent Shanna away, which is enough to prove that you recognize me. So.
I tested you with words, and your reaction confirmed my suspicion."
Roshan was stunned: "Is it that simple?"
Gordon Wen said: "Actually, you and I don't need to be at war with each other. We have a common goal and can work closely together. If you feel that I am offended, I can leave. But please don't use that kind of topaz ring to fool others. Own it."
The alchemy ring with explosive effect will have very light black spots oozing out from the surface of the ring."
The flesh on Roshan's cheek began to twitch again, and after a while, he burst out into a loud laugh: "Okay, ghoul, whether it's a coincidence or intentional, God has arranged a meeting between you and me. In that case, why?
Why don't we sit down and have a heart-to-heart talk? Maybe we will have a lot of cooperation in the future."
He raised his left hand to signal Gordon, and rubbed the turquoise ring on his little finger three times. A dazzling light flashed through, and the alchemical runes flashed alternately, turning into a tall and fat little alchemical goblin. It was covered in ink.
It is green, with a bulging belly full of wrinkled fat, and a large and wide mouth, which almost takes up most of the face.
"Master, what are your orders?" the alchemy goblin said angrily, its belly rising and falling. Unlike those one-time alchemy goblins, its golden eyes flashed and seemed quite agile.
"Bring out some food and drink." Roshan ordered, hesitating for a moment and then added, "Bring out the hookah medicine pot as well." He then smiled at Gordon, "My alchemy ring is better than you expected.
There are more.”
The alchemist goblin opened his mouth and spit out roasted blood shark fins, braised ground dragon eggs, golden grapes, jade gall wine... Hundreds of delicacies from the mountains and seas were spread out on the carpet, some of which were steaming with fragrant heat.
As the food continued to be spit out, the size of the alchemy goblin was gradually shrinking.
"Is this an alchemy ring with a storage function?" Gordon asked in surprise. In the field of alchemy, alchemists who have outstanding achievements in certain fields will be given the honorary title - "Saint". If an alchemist has the ability to refine
If an alchemy item has the function of storing food, he will definitely get the honorific title of "Saint". After food is put into the alchemy item, it will not only not go bad, but also maintain its original appearance. Roshan is also considered to have great magical powers, and he can actually make food.
This is a rare thing in the world.
"Master, do you have any other orders?" the alchemy goblin asked. Its expression looked a little tired, its skin had several more cracks, and its voice was stiffer than before.
"It's a pity that this ring can only be used ten times." Roshan activated the alchemy ring, and the alchemical goblin turned into a string of shining runes and drilled the ring back. Then, Roshan handed over a set of exquisite and elegant hookah utensils.
Gordon, "Try this, it will be very good for your injury."
This is a set of typical hookahs from the Kingdom of Sand. The crystal-clear bottle is polished with Baizhi crystal and is filled with ice drop spring water. The tobacco materials are various exotic fruits sliced into thin slices and stored in soft fat stone bowls.
, wrapped in tin foil.
Gordon took a deep breath. White crystals, ice beads spring water, and soft fat stone bowls are all treasures for healing injuries. Together with nearly a hundred kinds of rare and rare fruits, this hookah set is worth more than a storage alchemy ring.
much higher.
"This set of things is given to you." Roshan waved his hand generously.
