If the conversation is compared to a fight, the initiative in the battle at this time is undoubtedly in the hands of User.
Previously, through a series of continuous questions and answers, User had suppressed Rhodes in terms of momentum.
According to Yose's idea, not to mention that he was the only business group heading to the City of Lament at this time, and the person who wanted to be a tourist was a necromancer with not much experience, so of course he could ask for a price increase. p>
The identity of the necromancer makes it difficult for them to collude with other people, but in Yose's memory, incidents of necromancers harming business groups on their own often occur. The business group takes a necromancer on the road, which itself has risks.
Because he has the strength of a senior warrior, although Yose is not particularly afraid of the necromancer in front of him, he is not willing to get too involved with him. Unless the necromancer in front of him is willing to pay a large sum of gold coins, Yose will let him become
Passengers.
"Two hundred gold coins, what do you think?"
User gave his estimated price.
Rhodes did not rush to reply, but began to think about a problem, a problem that Rhodes had discovered before.
Seeing that the necromancer in front of him seemed to be lost in thought, Yose was not in a hurry. He just crossed his hands and looked at the necromancer in front of him, waiting for his answer.
After waiting for a while, Rhodes ended his thinking and said to User: "I have a few questions, and I hope the leader can answer them for me."
"Ask."
At this time, due to the long wait, Yose became a little impatient.
Yose knew that the purpose of the necromancer in front of him asking these questions was simply to point out the shortcomings of the trading group so as to save money on travel expenses. A necromancer who was still thinking of bargaining at this time might as well check to see if he had enough gold coins.
.
Rhodes asked: "Why do the Silver Seal Merchant Group go to the City of Lament?"
Hearing this question, User almost couldn't help it. He didn't know why the necromancer in front of him asked such an obvious question.
"To conduct trade."
Rhodes then asked: "Since we are conducting trade, why are we going to the City of Lament at this time?"
User didn't seem to understand, and asked Rhodes: "What do you mean?"
"According to the information I know, a large business group went to the City of Lament not long ago."
Yose frowned slightly. "So what?"
"A large business group goes to the City of Lament. While hiring a large number of guards, in order to obtain maximum benefits, they will carry a large amount of goods. These materials are enough for the City of Lament for a long time. This also leads to the
During this period of time, the profits that other business groups can get from going to the City of Lament are extremely low."
User seemed not to understand and said, "What does this mean?"
"Then I have to ask you, why did you choose to go to the City of Lamentation when none of the other business groups went to the City of Lamentation?"
User did not answer Rhodes' question directly, but asked Rhodes: "What about you? Why did the two necromancers go to the City of Screams at this time?"
"To join the war."
Rhodes said this in a calm tone, and User's pupils shrank.
The purpose of Rhodes asking these questions to User was to confirm one thing. That is, based on User's current information, did he know that Dia was about to have a big war with Eli?
Although User did not answer Rhodes directly, judging from his reaction, it was obvious that he had information about this war.
Regarding the information about the war, Yose naturally would not reveal any information until he was sure whether the necromancer in front of him knew about it.
What surprised User was that during the process of collecting war intelligence, he had spent a lot of money to confirm some things from his old friends. Coupled with his own analysis, he was only half-convinced, and the necromancer in front of him was obviously convinced.
This war is guaranteed.
After reconfirming his information from the necromancer in front of him, Yose felt a lot more determined.
User said to Rhodes: "You also know that since the war is about to break out, the City of Lament will need a large amount of basic materials. By transporting weapons to the Necromancer side, you can naturally get more profits."
Rhodes replied: "Since you can get the news of the war, can't the other business groups not get it? If the war is about to start, the City of Lament is the only large town on the border of Diya, and large business groups from all over the world can't get it."
All supplies will be transported to the City of Lament, and the prices of weapons and equipment will actually decrease."
"As far as I know, the Silver Seal Merchant Group is only a small business group of about twenty people. How can it compete with large business groups that often have hundreds of people in delivering supplies?"
"Coupled with the risks you may encounter when crossing the border, especially during this war, the border is filled with a large number of thieves and plunderers of various races. If you just transport weapons, I'm afraid the gold coins you earn are not enough.
Paid to the escort."
"The goods transported by the merchant group are not just weapons, right?"
Every time Rhodes said something, User's face became gloomier. In the end, User's face completely darkened, but he still didn't speak.
Rhodes continued: "From the moment I first entered this camp, I felt something was wrong. There was an aura in this camp that gave me a very familiar feeling..."
Rhodes stretched out his left hand, spread his palm, and said, "Is this the material you are really transporting?"
User looked down and saw a dark crystal with a rough appearance lying in the palm of Rhodes' hand. It was the soul crystal that Rhodes obtained in the tomb.
"Large business groups transport abundant supplies, so for the sake of stability, they will not transport many soul crystals. The other small business groups do not have the courage like you. They purchased a large number of soul crystals as soon as they discovered the war."<
/p>
As Rhodes finished speaking, User smiled.
"This is just your guess. And I think other members of the business group may not welcome the Necromancer."
After saying this sentence that was like an order to exclude guests, User stood up and walked towards the back of the tent without looking at Rhodes and the vampire.
"Tell me how many gold coins the Thieves Guild is willing to pay for this information."
User immediately understood what Rhodes meant, and turned around suddenly to look at Rhodes, who was still sitting in the chair.
Once a large batch of Revenant Crystals is successfully transported to Diya, the price may increase several times when the war comes.
For this reason, as soon as the war was confirmed, User used all the savings of the business group to purchase the Soul Crystal and quickly headed to Diya.
User tried to hide it from his men. Except for a few close friends, no one knew what the goods really were. In case the news leaked, he would be besieged by thieves and necromancers.
If time is delayed further, the war information is confirmed. By then, all trade routes will become chaotic. It will not be so easy to safely go to the City of Lament without high-level guards.<
/p>
Once the news about Uther transporting the Soul Crystal is leaked, he will be surrounded by thieves before he reaches the City of Lament. Even the official necromancer will snatch it away.
"You..."
"I just want to go to the City of Screams." Looking at the embarrassed User, Rhodes said.
