After Taniel saw the well-dressed middle-aged man in front of him clearly, he immediately exclaimed.
The person in front of him was very familiar to him.
In fact, I just saw it not long ago.
The other party was his liaison officer, taking over from Duke's official staff for the 'mysterious side'.
Generosity was Taniel's first impression of him.
Be vigilant, this is Taniel's heartfelt warning to himself.
Therefore, when the other party appeared here, Taniel immediately became vigilant.
Taniel did not hide his expression.
Bundy saw it.
His hand immediately touched the handle of the gun.
The remaining people also raised their guns.
"Don't get me wrong!"
"I don't mean any harm!"
"I come here with sincerity!"
The person in front of him immediately raised his hands to show that he was harmless. At the same time, he looked at Jason who had been sitting there without any change from beginning to end, just staring at the roasted ham.
It was obvious that the other party wanted to talk to Jason.
Or, simply come here for Jason.
How do you know Jason is here?
It's possible that there was some special channel through which I got the information about the impostor.
It is also possible that he simply wanted to see if Taniel could lure him out.
Jason prefers the latter.
If it's the former, there's absolutely no need for the other party to adopt this posture.
Even some very special layouts can be completed.
Rather than walking out like this.
Therefore, it should be the latter.
Thinking again of Taniel's kidnapping, and Taniel's familiarity with the other party's attitude...
"Has it been taken advantage of?"
Jason sighed inwardly.
It's not surprising that Tanier was taken advantage of.
Because Taniel himself is not very smart.
It's normal to be taken advantage of.
However, as Taniel's friend, Jason would naturally not remain silent.
Jason's breath changed slightly.
Very weak.
However, the other party sensed it.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Tanier, in order to draw out Sir Jason, I had to take advantage of you - here I would like to express my most sincere apology to you."
The official in charge bowed to Taniel as he spoke.
At the same time, the free hand took out a check and handed it to Taniel.
I've been taken advantage of?!
Although Tanier was not very smart, he was not a fool. With the reminder of the other party's words, he immediately understood the cause and effect of the matter.
Suddenly, Taniel became angry.
He glared at the other party and was about to curse.
But when he saw the amount of the check, Taniel's anger disappeared.
In fact, not only did his anger disappear, Taniel also smiled.
"It's okay, it's okay."
"We are friends."
"Your name is...Salmon?"
"Yes, it's Salmon!"
With a smile on his face, Tanier put his arm around the shoulders of the official person in charge in front of him, then turned around and winked at Jason, while showing Jason the amount of the check.
1000.
The unit is gold grams.
Calculated based on Jason's weekly salary of 1.5 gold grams as a consultant in the police station, this is a weekly salary of 666+ weeks.
There are approximately 52 weeks in a year.
If converted into annual salary, this is more than 12 years, almost 13 years of annual salary.
You know, Jason's weekly salary is definitely not low.
It can even be considered a high salary.
And based on this comparison, after receiving nearly 13 years of salary in one fell swoop, it’s no wonder that Tanier is smiling broadly.
Jason was a little moved.
After all, according to his plan, there will be a lot of expenses later.
Why was he counting loot that wasn't 'food'?
Isn’t it just to make future plans smoother?
But the inventory just now was not satisfactory.
Less than 100 gold grams in cash.
There are a lot of weapons and equipment, and if you want to sell them, you can still sell them for 200 gold grams.
But that takes time.
Jason didn't have that long.
Therefore, just now, he tortured some of the awakened bandits - don't put your eggs in one basket. Jason understands this principle, and others naturally understand it too.
Especially a profession like banditry.
It's definitely part of what you carry with you.
More should be buried.
Especially bosses like the 'Silver Coin Skeleton', 'Fire Giant', and 'Blood Fox' will definitely have their own secret collections.
This was Jason's idea to buy the buried Jin Ke.
It's a pity that it is not satisfactory.
None of the robbers present knew about the collection of the three.
At first, Jason thought it was the bandits playing tricks, but after using their tricks, Jason was sure that the bandits really didn't know.
The corpses Bundy and Edge saw were those robbers who had been tricked.
It's like there's a tact between the two minds.
Taniel can be keenly aware of the thoughts of his friend Jason.
The second consultant of the police station directly put the check into Jason's hand. Then, he put his arm around Salmen's shoulders and turned around. He said gracefully: "Samen, let me introduce you.
My friend Jason."
The whole process was without any regrets.
Taniel could tell that his friend was short of money.
When he was just counting the loot, Tanier saw Jason carefully counting the coins in the money bags.
Jason is not a money-grubbing person.
Taniel knew this clearly.
Naturally, my friend's behavior was because something was wrong.
Although he didn't know what was going on, Taniel was willing to help his friend.
What's more, without his friends, he wouldn't have been able to see the check for 1,000 gold grams.
Is Samen trying to apologize to him?
If Taniel really believed this, he would be a real fool.
Taniel knew exactly how the check for 1,000 gold grams came from.
Therefore, he will not give up.
After all, logically and logically, this check should belong to Jason.
Taniel knew it all in his heart.
And Samen was able to offer 1,000 gold grams to apologize, so he is naturally an extremely moral person.
There was no hesitation or hesitation.
The official person in charge took off his hat again.
"Sir Jason, this is our first meeting."
"I am really impressed by you."
"It's really great to see you this time."
As he spoke, the official person in charge bowed to Jason.
"What's the matter?"
Jason asked after swallowing the last bite of ham.
The other party directly offered 1,000 gold grams to obtain Taniel's 'forgiveness'. Jason did not believe that such a generous opponent would not ask for anything.
Of course, according to the attitude the other party wants to show, if he agrees to the subsequent request, there will be greater benefits.
"Well, Chief Bundy, can you help Mr. Jason continue to clean up the battlefield?"
Salmen turned around and asked Bundy very politely.
"OK."
Of course Bundy knew that this was an excuse for the other party to send him away.
There are some things that the other party obviously doesn't want him to know.
However, Bundy was not angry.
After those young days, he knew his position clearly.
There are some things that you should not forcefully participate in.
Otherwise, you will only end up with an embarrassing end, especially in a special field like the 'mysterious side'.
Before leaving with his men, Bundy quietly made a gesture to Jason.
That's a reminder.
It is also a statement.
Warn Jason to be careful.
Declare that you are always there and will be there when needed.
"Sir Jason, your reputation is higher than imagined."
Salmen saw Bundy's actions and couldn't help but admire him.
Before coming to Lord, Salmen naturally knew everything about Lord in detail.
Especially for a character like Bundy who was directly involved in the "Disaster Day", it was even more detailed to the extent that he could clearly know the things Bundy had forgotten.
Therefore, Salmon knew very well what Bundy was like.
sense of justice.
Be blunt.
He is an upright person.
Because of this, according to the other party's seniority and merit, it is more than enough for him to become a local director. On the premise that he is still at the level of police sergeant.
What's even more surprising is that there is a group of such people under the other party's hands.
At that time, Salmon was surprised when he checked the information.
But didn't delve into it.
This world is full of wonders.
People are also diverse.
There are smooth and sophisticated people, and naturally there are also upright people.
For Salmen, both are able to get along.
Naturally, the latter is more reassuring.
People who can win the respect of the latter are naturally reassuring.
Thinking of this, Salmon let out a long sigh.
As if he finally relaxed, he raised his hand and pointed at the log pile beside the campfire. After Jason nodded, the official person in charge sat down.
The other party did not speak directly after sitting down, but stared at the bonfire for two or three seconds before asking.
"Sir Jason, have you been to Terte?"
"No."
Jason shook his head.
Terte, the capital of the Kingdom of Siwak.
Rumor has it that it is ten times more prosperous than Lord's.
The population has exceeded one million.
There are many various restaurants there, scattered on various streets - this is Taniel's description, and many of the delicacies were told to Jason by Taniel.
For example: Haggis!
A traditional, time-honored cuisine.
spread among some gourmets.
Tanier also invited Jason to taste it during his winter vacation.
Jason nodded happily to this.
Anyway, no matter how unpalatable the food is, it cannot be more delicious than 'looking up at the stars' and 'jelly eels'.
Because of this, Jason learned more about Turte, the capital of West Walker, from Taniel's mouth.
"That's such a shame."
"Sir Jason, you should go take a look."
"Look at the people there."
"Abundance and peace."
"Look at the streets there."
"Each one has a history of hundreds of years."
"When the breeze blows on your cheeks in the evening, you walk on streets like this and pass by the smiling residents, you will really fall in love with this city."
Samen describes Terte.
That was the Terte he remembered.
Jason has never been there and can't comment.
We can only imagine it based on Salmen's description.
It's not amazing, but it's definitely pleasant.
Jason thought so.
On the side, Tanier coughed lightly.
Jason has never been to Terte.
But, he has been there.
This teacher from Deer Academy and the second consultant of the police station immediately reminded his friends.
"Jason, when you go there, try to buy an umbrella. Especially when crossing small streets and alleys, be sure to open the umbrella, especially in the morning, otherwise you will be attacked by yellow liquid falling from the sky."
After Taniel finished speaking, he made a gesture of emptying the urinal.
Jason was silent.
Suddenly, the previous comfort disappeared without a trace.
The smile on Salmen's face was also a little stiff.
"That's just because the sewer system was not perfect a few years ago. It has improved a lot in recent years. More people choose to go there. The best proof is that they live in Terte."
Samon explained.
"So, the production of perfume has increased tenfold?"
Taniel continued to ask.
"That's the operation of the Commerce Department."
"Perfume is a rare commodity that can lead to huge profits."
"The items of bodyguard Siwok that bring high taxes should be vigorously developed."
Samon explained.
The official tried to reverse Jason's 'first impression' of Turte.
Unfortunately, it was not successful.
Compared to Salmen's explanation, Jason naturally believed in his friend Taniel more.
And Tanier will not let Jason down.
"It's a very good tax policy. Businessmen think their tax increases are understandable, but civilians' taxes have also been rising for five consecutive years, right?"
"Moreover, compared to previous years, civilians are taxed more heavily."
"The businessmen are much lower."
"Even if the amount of money that merchants turn over is extremely objective, one person is the tax of dozens, hundreds or thousands of civilians, but what the latter hand over is money to buy food."
Taniel spoke with a hint of questioning.
"This is a last resort."
"West Walker has experienced war, and even the war has never gone away, so it naturally needs more tax revenue."
"Our Emperor, His Majesty, has also reduced the royal family's expenditure by one-half."
Salmon sighed.
Then, the official did not wait for Taniel to speak.
He looked directly at Jason and asked.
"Sir Jason, what do you think of His Majesty the Emperor and the royal family?"
This time, Salmen didn't beat around the bush.
He originally planned to use Turte's "bits and pieces" to make Jason feel the beauty of Turte, thereby improving Jason's impression of the royal family, but Taniel's words made his description full of "
smell'.
Instead of continuing to go around in circles.
It's better to just speak up.
"Are you here on behalf of the royal family?"
Jason did not answer immediately, but asked instead.
"Yes."
As Salmen spoke, he took out a ring engraved with a special pattern.
Like two swords crossed in front of a shield.
There is a crown pattern on it.
Jason didn't understand and looked at Taniel.
Taniel took the ring, inspected it carefully, and nodded to Jason.
Then, after giving a vague signal to Jason with his eyes, Taniel spoke directly.
"Your Excellency Salmon, you are actually the envoy of the royal family, which really surprises me."
"It is really rude to meet an envoy representing the royal family in such a wilderness."
"I will entertain you at the Starry Sky restaurant after daybreak."
"It's too late now, let's end this conversation for now."
With that said, Taniel stood up impatiently and motioned for Jason to leave with him.
As for the check for 1,000 gold grams?
That's an apology gift, and it won't be returned.
Jason looked at Taniel with eagerness on his face and felt even more curious.
However, he didn't say anything and just stood up. He believed in Taniel.
Following Taniel, Jason walked aside.
Looking at Jason who was about to leave, Salmen hurriedly shouted loudly.
"Sir Jason, are you also afraid?"
"Don't you want to know who the real murderer of Sir Beta is?"
