In the dim and dim underground world, the two parties communicated at a small safe distance. The thief who took the money had a flattering smile, but his seemingly ordinary words revealed something that made everyone behind Liu Yifei feel chills all over.
The terrible cruelty!
War, massacre, plunder, slavery...
The continent of Ntagiri has never been a comfortable world that advocates peaceful development. Here, war seems to be an eternal theme~
The concepts of camp, race, and country are deeply rooted in people's hearts, making conflicts between hostile forces so intense that players can hardly imagine it.
Of course, all this means nothing to the vast majority of players. They come to this virtual world just to have fun. For a few of them, such a "lawless" world is more in line with their tastes.
~
However, most of the players actually maintain a minimum moral bottom line... Perhaps when they didn't understand the "connotation" of this game at first, they just played it with the attitude of casually taking a look.
But as the concept of "battle life" becomes more and more popular, and more and more players are becoming more and more "careful" when playing in the battle period, the figure is blurry, like a human-shaped devil-like guy speaking
The "facts" revealed were really difficult for Jiang Ruoyi and others to accept...
Especially when the other party was telling all this, there was even a caveman slave squatting in the corner next to it... Although everyone could no longer see its appearance clearly, the sound of "Taotie" coming from the darkness made everyone
Everyone can feel their temples bulging...
According to the thief, the reward they gave was just some moldy black bread... Such a cheap consumption can be exchanged for a very keen "eyes and ears" in a dark environment. It is simply not a "good value for money" statement.
Descriptive...
But even if it is just such black bread, it is actually quite difficult for the old caveman to enjoy it.
Because its teeth were knocked out by thieves early in the morning...
"Hey~ They are really a bunch of scum who take bullying as a matter of course..."
The thief opposite was still talking endlessly about other news related to the caveman slaves in the Kingdom of Erathia. Although the content he said was quite uncomfortable, this guy was obviously not aware of it... but still...
Quite dedicated!
After taking Liu Yifei's gold coins, he worked extra hard~
However, Cupid, who has the most fiery temper, is already a little impatient!
From what she heard, what the person on the other side spit out was venom that corroded the human heart! Although there were no dirty words in his words, the objective fact that destroyed the worldview made people even more disgusting!
Liu Yifei, as a veteran in his previous life, has even seen with his own eyes countless scenes that are even more bleak and miserable than what the other party described~
Why is he always worried about the "darkest time" that Erathia will face in the future?
Because during those days when almost all of Erathia was on fire and even the country was destroyed for a time, the people of Erathia would suffer a far more miserable and tragic fate than the caveman slaves at this moment!
Although the human camp does engage in some less visible "bloody deals" such as the Blood and Tears Mine, in the final analysis they are just seeking wealth rather than life.
But when it was the turn of the dark camp to gain the upper hand...
Tsk tsk tsk~
I just hope that when the situation prevails, we can organize as much combat power as possible to fight against the difficulties. Otherwise... I am afraid that the national power will still come out with a stern warning this time, right?
Liu Yifei was just deserting, but suddenly another voice, much deeper and richer, sounded in the darkness ahead: "You ignorant and fearless brats, you have been following Lord Geralt all day long, receiving his protection and enjoying
How can he understand the hardships of life for poor people like us? Maybe we are indeed scum, but we are not something that a brat like you can humiliate at will..."
While he was talking, a tall and thin man suddenly appeared at the edge of the dimly illuminated area without any sound. He didn't know how long this guy had been there. Even Liu Yifei didn't notice it the whole time!
"What did you say!" Cupid was obviously quite angry at the visitor's contempt, especially when he learned that the guys from the Brotherhood of Thieves in front of him were just a group of people who could only huddle in the shadows where the light could not reach, doing some dirty things.
How could she allow the other person to look down on her so much?
"Hmph~ What are you talking about? If it weren't for Lord Geralt being here, just based on the two sentences you just said, you would already be a dead person at this time."
"you……"
Without waiting for Cupid to say anything else, Liu Yifei suddenly stopped the furious Lolita behind him. Instead, he looked at the tall, thin man who had just appeared with a strange, as if extremely curious look. After thinking for a moment, Liu Yifei chuckled and said: "
you know me?"
"The famous 'genius' Geralt, a prominent figure from the Guards, has attracted the attention of countless talents in the royal capital in a short period of time, and is a rare rising star in the Kingdom of Erathia in a century...
With such great talent and arrogance, how many discerning people in the capital today don't recognize him?
I, Toyala, the ‘sharp blade’ of the Brotherhood of Thieves, would like to wish Lord Geralt a good night~”
【Sure enough, it's him...】
The other party actually reported himself to his family so readily, which made Liu Yifei a little surprised, and at the same time, there was a hidden smile in his heart——
Toyara, as he says, is the most powerful person among the thieves in the capital, known as the "Blade of the Brotherhood"!
However, the reason why Liu Yifei knew him was not from a certain news channel in the battle, but from the revelations on the game forum in the previous life!
So it’s great to be a “fool” who comes back from time travel. There are so many “foresights” that can catch others off guard~
Or there is a guy who hides some very deep secrets and thinks he has a perfect back-up plan... But with a scammer like Liu Yifei, four or five of the ten secrets may have been expected by the other party. This is really...
It really affects the gaming experience as an "opponent".
For example, the person in front of you is not only the strongest member of the Thieves Brotherhood in the capital, but he is also the actual leader behind the Brotherhood!
The one that outsiders think is the boss’s “mask” is just a fake person of the other party...
Until the fall of Standwick, even this "sharp blade" survived and escaped~
Subsequently, he was recruited by Her Majesty Queen Catherine who returned to the country and became an important minister in the kingdom's intelligence department that she later rebuilt...
Due to his subsequent official status, the current "bandit leader" has also successfully cleared his name and come ashore, and has more and more contact with players (after all, NPCs still have to issue tasks to players). Slowly, his "first half of life"
"The ups and downs of the experience were unearthed bit by bit, and then completely made public on the forum...
In the future, such news will naturally be viewed as "interesting", but at the moment... even Liu Yifei is not sure how to estimate the value of this information.
But now that he was watching the other party show off his presence in front of him in a serious way, Liu Yifei always had a lingering smile in his heart...
"So, in the Brotherhood of Thieves, you can be considered the one who can speak well?" Liu Yifei, who still had to pretend not to know, felt a little troubled and pretended to ask Toyala.
"The president has handed over the power of disposal to me. If you have any instructions, please feel free to ask me~"
"Okay... Here's the thing. I recently wanted to know about the underground passages in the royal capital. The more detailed the better, so I wanted to ask if I can buy the relevant maps directly from your brotherhood. They are on the second and third underground floors.
All information."
Toyala, who was on the opposite side, answered directly without even thinking: "No problem~ In fact, there are not a few buyers who come to us to buy relevant information... Fifty thousand gold coins! As long as fifty thousand gold coins, you can get it now."
Cupid, who had finally managed to suppress his anger, was completely blown away at this moment~
Although Cupid is an ordinary player...or a micro-Krypton player who occasionally deposits a small amount of money in exchange for gold, he still has a basic idea of the "gold price" currently on the market.
In those professional studios, the gold coin sales orders that can be posted online usually start at 10 gold coins, and the highest sales order Cupid has ever seen was a transaction amount of 500 gold...
After all, the current monetary output on the big map is still mainly "copper coins". Whether it is fighting monsters or completing tasks, except for BOSS, those who can drop "silver coins" at once are considered local monsters. How can gold coins be so expensive?
Easily profitable?
This is the gold-producing ability in normal mode!
Switching to the battle world... I can't say much more. The vast majority of players are still in the primitive self-sufficient economy. Being able to make ends meet is considered "successful". Think about whether you have money or not... I plan to stuff it in your wallet.
As a bait for bandits to rob you?
But the other party asked for "50,000 gold"!!!
This price is unacceptable to Cupid no matter what~
In fact, not to mention Cupid, even Liu Yifei felt extremely pained when he heard this quotation...
In the war-torn world before and after Erathia's revival, 60 gold coins were enough to "buy" a first-level soldier to fight for oneself, and 100 gold coins were enough to "buy" a second-level qualified crossbowman...
Fifty thousand gold!!!
In Liu Yifei's concept, that is an "army" of five hundred second-level crossbowmen who have completed basic armament!!!
If Liu Yifei had such an army now... or a full 50,000 gold in cash, he would even have the impulse to try to see if it was possible to prevent the collapse of Erathia!
After all, there is still some transition time. If the skills are used properly, the value of fifty thousand gold will definitely be far beyond imagination...
But fifty thousand gold is cash that even a middle-class noble family may not be able to plunder!
When the opponent's upper and lower lips touched each other, Liu Yifei, whose total personal assets was only a few hundred gold, instantly felt weak, pitiful and helpless...
"Um... Then I wonder if it can be cheaper?" Liu Yifei certainly won't get angry like Cupid. Businesses are all negotiated~
Even if the deal doesn't work out, wouldn't the person who is easy to negotiate and negotiate with you at least look familiar? Maybe it will help to establish a good relationship in advance for other deals to be negotiated in the future, right?
"Then it depends on how much money you can offer, sir. In fact, our brotherhood is fairly fair in handling matters. The same news is also divided into different levels..."
Toyala was quite easy to talk to and had the face of a skilled businessman. He and Liu Yifei soon got together in whispers, planning to kill the young but famous "fat sheep" in front of them...
In the end, Liu Yifei endured the grief in his heart and left this sad place - because not only did he spend all the dozens of gold coins he had with him, he even owed Toyala a large sum of money, stating
I will bring it to him the next time I come to the sewer...
After watching Geralt and his gang go away, the little thief who had previously taken a gold coin from Liu Yifei and told him a lot of information about the cavemen quietly came to Toyala's side and whispered: "
Lord Sharp Blade, is it really okay for us to sell the information to that person? A while ago...didn't someone in the meeting say that someone paid a big price for..."
As he spoke, the little thief glanced in the direction where Liu Yifei and others were leaving, moved his palm horizontally, and made a "wiping roar" motion on his neck.
"Hmph~ It's just that some idiots above want to test the power behind Geralt... Although the news spread by this young man is very evil, how can he stand if there is no support behind him?
Rather than saying that what everyone is worried about is Geralt's growth potential in the future, it is better to say that secretly more people still want to know who those who support Geralt are... and to what extent they are willing to support~
However, there are always some idiots who think everyone is an idiot who can be blinded by gold coins... Want to hire us to deal with Geralt?
That’s basically trying to trick our brotherhood into death~
There will be plenty of opportunities to deal with idiots like that in the future..."
…
…
On the other side, Liu Yifei, who was leading the team away, felt extremely sad in his heart - Toyala simply added a few more strokes on the "rough map" hand-drawn by Liu Yifei, and then directly wiped away all the gold coins on his body.
Later, he even promised to run an errand for Liu Yifei and help him notify all the underground organizations that had business dealings with their brothers, saying that "Geralt intends to take a tour on the second underground floor."
I will accidentally disturb everyone, but I will never do anything extraordinary, nor will I target any underground forces!
So if he does encounter him, Geralt hopes that everyone can exercise restraint and just ignore him...
Toyala has not stated clearly how many organizations on the second underground floor have "business dealings" with their brotherhood of thieves, nor has he guaranteed whether the other party will listen to his words...
But just for such a "task" of running errands, Liu Yifei owed the other party a full two hundred gold coins! In one fell swoop, most of the "net worth" that Liu Yifei had accumulated through extortion money was wiped out (a lot had been spent during this period)!
I have to say that when it comes to "stealing money", they are still in the business of being "thieves"...
