Chapter two thousand six hundred and twenty black thieves
These three exploration missions are all normal E-level missions and are not dangerous.
The three of them completed the task very easily. Although it took a lot of time, the area was still quite large after all, and it was not that fast to collect information on the entire area.
Tartaniel is on this side of the Whitewater River and is the closest, so it is the first to return.
Mellie is second.
The two female adventurers waited for another hour or so before Jia Zhengjin returned from the mangrove and arrived at the stable.
"How was it?" After the gathering, Meili came over and asked.
"Intelligence collection is complete, there is no problem." Jia Zhengjin shook the animal skin paper recording the information.
"It's no problem on my side either!" Tatanir showed his results.
"My mission was successfully completed." Meili was completely relieved, "This trip went very smoothly, we can go back!"
"It's still early, why don't we go to the city to investigate the product information?" Jia Zhengjin looked at the time and said to them, "Anyway, I am idle."
"This is not very important now," Meili looked at him, "Are you thinking about the really important issue?"
When Tatanil heard this, he immediately stared at Jia Zhengjin.
"I'm thinking about it, there's no need to be in such a hurry!" Jia Zhengjin waved his hand and said, "How about it, do you want to go into the city? Or just go back the same way?"
"Well..." Mellie and Tatanir looked at each other, and after communicating with each other with their eyes, they nodded.
So the three of them drove a carriage into Wuzhu City and walked through the streets to collect prices and specific information on various commodities.
While the two female adventurers were collecting information carefully, Jia Zhengjin had been thinking about creating a mercenary group. Meili said a lot of benefits of creating an adventure group, which was indeed quite tempting.
"Let's go to this store and have a look!" Walking further, they passed a grocery store, and Merry and Tataniel got out of the car immediately.
Jia Zhengjin parked the carriage outside the store and followed them.
"Boss, what is this?"
"The comb made of tung oil wood is very effective in cleaning hair!"
"Sounds great, how did you sell it?"
"15 copper coins a handful!"
"Is it so expensive? If I buy more, can it be cheaper?"
"It depends on how much you buy..."
While the two female adventurers were chatting with the store owner, Jia Zhengjin was also lowering his head and thinking about creating an adventure group. During this period, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the carriage outside the door.
"Cohen, what do you think?" At this time, Tatanir turned around and asked him.
"Ah? What?"
"Didn't you hear? We just discussed the topic."
"I'm thinking about something."
"Then let me ask again, this tung oil wood comb is 13 coppers a piece, but you need to buy more than 50 of them at one time. Do you think it is worth it? If we take it back and sell it, will there be any profit?" Tatanir asked.
"11 coppers!" Jia Zhengjin said immediately, "otherwise, you won't be able to earn the round trip expenses."
"Boss, did you hear that? How about 11 coppers?" Mellie and Tataniel immediately turned to the grocery store owner.
"No, no!" The grocery store owner shook his head desperately, "It's too low, I have no money to make."
"How is it possible that there is no money to be made? I guess the price collected from the carpenter is no more than 8 copper coins, right?" Meili said, "You can make money with 11 copper coins, after all, you bought so much at one time!"
"No, no, no..."
The two female adventurers argued with the boss for a long time in the store, but finally failed to reach an agreement and came out with Jia Zhengjin.
"Actually, with 12 coppers, you can do this business!" Tatanier said after getting in the car.
"Indeed, I feel that this kind of comb can sell well." Meili nodded in agreement and took out a piece of kraft paper filled with writing. "The information has been collected almost, and the products that can probably make money are all here. Let's go back and think about it.
Maybe I can try it in the future.”
"Okay, let's set off!" Jia Zhengjin waved his whip, drove the carriage and turned around, heading towards the Wuzhu City Gate.
Along the way, many guards could be seen running around, as if they were chasing someone.
Mellie and Tatanir didn't pay attention. They were talking about product information and studying the feasibility of various businesses along the way. After all, now that they have money, they might be able to start a small business.
Jia Zhengjin did not interfere in their conversation, and the car drove along. After coming out of Wuzhu City, he slowly walked away.
When he was far enough away from Wuzhu City and came to a relatively remote road, Jia Zhengjin parked the carriage on the side of the road.
"Do you need a rest?" Meili and Tartaniel got out of the car immediately. After all, these cart-pulling horses were inferior and their physical strength was not that good.
Jia Zhengjin got off the car and knocked on the car panel: "The guy below, come out!"
These words startled Meili and Tartaniel, and they immediately looked down at the bottom of the carriage: "Is there someone down there?"
Because there is a baffle at the wheel, it is not visible from the left and right sides.
When Jia Zhengjin finished speaking, he heard movement under the carriage, and soon a masked man came out.
This guy is very short, about 1.55 meters tall. He is dressed in black and has a sharp dagger in his hand. Only his eyes are exposed. At first glance, he is a thief.
Normal people are wary of thieves. Merry and Tartaniel took out their weapons at the same time and stared at each other.
"How did you know I was hiding down there?" The thief in black was also very wary and looked at Jia Zhengjin and asked.
"Nonsense! How can I not be familiar with my carriage?" Jia Zhengjin said, "Besides, I already noticed it when you hid in it. When you were at the door of the grocery store, right?"
"That time?!" Merry and Tartaniel were startled and looked at the black-clothed thief in disbelief. "It's amazing to be under the car for so long, isn't it? How did you do it?"
The thief in black did not answer them, but asked Jia Zhengjin: "Since you already knew it, why didn't you report it to the guards? There are many opportunities on the road, right?"
"Indeed, but it's not necessary." Jia Zhengjin shrugged, "Tell me about it! Why are you being hunted down?"
The thief in black hesitated and said, "Can I trust you?"
"I didn't report you to the guards and took you out of the city. Isn't it trustworthy?" Jia Zhengjin asked.
"That's true..."
"So, can you tell me why you were chased by the guards?" Jia Zhengjin clasped his hands on his chest and asked sideways.
Merry and Tartaniel also had doubts on their faces.
"Actually..." The thief in black scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I received a task and needed to investigate the city lord's private life to see if he had raised other women outside the city lord's wife's back. After several
After days of surveillance, I finally found out the truth and found out that the city lord had a private meeting with a certain lady. However, he was accidentally discovered by the guards, and fortunately he escaped in time. Probably the city lord didn't want the news to leak, so he caused a storm in the city. However, the city lord still
I don’t dare to exaggerate too much. I’m afraid that the city lord’s wife will know, so I didn’t completely seal the city gate, giving me a chance to escape with your car.”
