Looking at the approaching motorcade, Hana trotted over and stopped in front of the motorcade while dancing.
"Stop! Stop!"
Without waiting for the motorcade to come to a complete stop, Hana quickly passed Peter, who was at the front of the motorcade, and arrived at Zoro's carriage.
As an experienced pickpocket, it is very important to have a vision that matches your strength, because it is related to the final fruits of your labor.
"My lord, my lord, do you need a guide?"
"You only need one silver coin, Hana... Hana can work for you for three hours... no, one day!"
Hana recognized at a glance that the young man sitting high on the top of the gorgeous carriage was the highest leader of the convoy.
Looking down at Hana, who was wearing a shabby linen clothes and was obviously malnourished, Zoro tilted his head in confusion.
The stains on the other person's face made it impossible to see the specific appearance, which made Zoro, who was a little bit tidy, feel a little uncomfortable.
However, Sauron did not show his thoughts on his face. After all, in this magical world that resembles the Middle Ages, it is not easy to survive well.
As for ensuring personal hygiene, that is something that only those with certain assets will pay attention to.
No longer paying attention to the girl who came to ask him to hire her as a guide, Sauron turned his head to Kahn:
"Kahn, what do you think?"
"Lord Sauron, if there is a guide who is familiar enough with Waterdeep City, I think we can greatly reduce the time we spend here."
Facing Zoro's question, Kahn spoke out his thoughts without thinking too much, but kept looking up and down Hana's body with his calm eyes.
"but..."
"But what? Let me tell you, big man, no one knows this city better than me." Hana put her left hand on her hips, pointed her right hand at Kahn's chest, and shouted loudly.
Looking at Kahn's calm eyes, Hana seemed to feel that her professional knowledge had been strongly insulted. She patted her flat chest and said with a "you have earned it" look on her face:
"You can hire me to work for a day for only one silver coin. You are really making a lot of money."
Coming to act as a guide for Zoro was not Hana's last-minute idea.
Waterdeep has not been peaceful these past two days, so Hana has lost many targets that she can attack.
Although Hana is a pickpocket, she has her own bottom line.
She will only attack those who have a certain financial base.
Therefore, when she lacks goals, occasionally getting paid to work part-time as a guide is simply a simpler thing than drinking water for Hana, who is familiar with every path in Waterdeep City.
Although Sauron's fleet may not necessarily be comparable in number to those large caravans.
But as an experienced pickpocket, Hana is confident in her eyesight - this is a big customer.
"These are just your own words." Faced with Hana's boast, Kahn's face remained as dark as water: "You have to know that the average daily expenses of an ordinary family of three are only ten copper coins at most."
"So I believe that for only half a silver coin, there will be a lot of people in Waterdeep City rushing to be our guides."
"Why do you think Lord Sauron needs to pay twice as much to hire you?"
"And you said that no one knows this city better than you, so how do you know that there will be shops in Waterdeep City to handle the goods that we take over?"
Zoro, who was sitting on the roof of the car, was completely stunned as he watched Kahn asking questions like a barrage of questions. He never thought that Kahn, who was usually silent and as wooden as a tree, would speak so sharply at this moment.
When faced with Kahn's questioning, Hana was not timid at all and seemed to be mentally prepared for Kahn's statement.
"It's true as you said. As long as I have half a silver coin, there will be a lot of people rushing to be a guide in Waterdeep City."
"But..." After saying this, Hana's face was full of confidence at this moment, and she puffed up her flat chest: "But I can guarantee that there is no one in Waterdeep City who is more familiar with me than me."
"As long as it's in this city, no matter what it is, I can find the most suitable buyer for it."
"Even if you pluck the sun from the sky, I, Hana, can still sell it to you at the right price."
"So..." Hana raised her proud little head, like a victorious little rooster, as if it was natural:
"Instead of saving half a silver coin by hiring those half-wit people who don't know anything about it, why not spend more to hire me."
"This will undoubtedly save the gentleman you are talking about a lot of trouble."
After saying that, Hana stopped talking and just handed the next decision back to Kahn.
Seeing that the other party had finished talking to this point, Kahn didn't want to say anything more. He turned his head to Zoro and handed the final decision to the real owner of the team.
Zoro, who had successfully understood the meaning in Kahn's eyes, finally focused on Hana.
"Ahem~"
"If that's the case, then the next work will be left to you."
"Your name is Hana, right?"
"congratulations!"
"This silver coin...it's yours!"
With a smile on his face, Zoro took out a shining silver coin from his arms and gently threw it to Hana.
Hana firmly grasped the silver coin tossed from the air, feeling the warmth remaining in her hands, and took a deep breath.
"Very good, mission accomplished!"
In fact, at the moment before going out, Hana herself was not 100% sure that she would be able to get a silver coin today.
As Kahn said, the purchasing power of a silver coin is really amazing for these poor people living at the bottom.
Let alone fifty copper coins, even if it is twenty copper coins, a large number of poor people will come over to act as guides for Sauron.
Copper coins are the main currency for those living at the bottom.
Silver coins are something that only families above the middle class have a certain amount in their piggy banks.
Therefore, except for those nobles and businessmen, few people carry currency above silver coins with them.
Therefore, rather than risking one's life by pickpocketing the wallets of nobles and merchants, being able to steadily earn silver coins into one's pocket as a guide is undoubtedly more in line with Hana's taste.
certainly,
Not everyone will be as generous as Sauron.
"If...if it's possible..."
"After I escape the control of those bastards, I must become a free guide." Hana quietly encouraged herself in her heart.
After carefully placing the silver coins close to her body, Hana returned her attention to the master and servant in front of her.
"Since we have collected the money, let's hurry up."
