Ganouen followed Anya upstairs and came to the box No. 3 that the landlady mentioned.
Anya knocked on the door and said, "The man on the street corner introduced me to a job."
After a few seconds of silence, there was a click of the lock unlocking in the box.
"Come in." The old man's voice came from inside.
After the door opened, Ganon finally met the middleman who introduced the bounty mission. The middleman whom Anya called "Cyclops" was actually an old dwarf who was blind in one eye.
He was sitting on a raised chair behind the round table, shuffling a deck of cards flexibly with his thick fingers.
Beside him sat sturdy human bodyguards on the left and right, and a skinny dark elf standing in the corner. It was the door he opened for Ganon and the others just now, and now the dark elf was standing behind the two of them.
The old dwarf nicknamed "Cyclops" narrowed his eyes and looked at Anya, seeming to see some clues.
Anya silently pulled down her veil.
"It's actually you, Miss Anya."
Cyclops greeted, he obviously had some knowledge of Anya's background.
"I want to ask about the reward of three thousand gold coins." Anya got straight to the point.
"Are you going to take on a big job that might get you into trouble?" Cyclops stopped sorting out the cards.
The only way he could have a large reward of three thousand gold coins was to assassinate Archduke Dipu.
To be honest, he himself didn't think anyone would accept the reward. The status of a grand duke who ruled a principality was equivalent to that of the king of a small country, and ordinary people could not assassinate him.
If it was a powerful enough force, it might be possible. But a force must weigh its interests and losses. Assassinating Grand Duke Dipu may mean becoming an enemy of the Principality of Xihe and even the empire. Compared with such a risk, the reward of three thousand gold coins is actually a bit pitiful.
Although the Cyclops didn't know that Anya was the heir to the Night Blade family, he at least knew that she was a senior member of a dark elf family in Nitrilan and had her own army. Her actions would represent her family's position.
"Just by the way, Grand Duke Dipu happened to be on our list recently." Anya gave an explanation.
"So that's it." Cyclops immediately accepted the argument, "If it were you, there would naturally be no need for any extra review. If you can't handle this bounty, no one in Sandman City will be able to handle it, and the client should also be able to handle it. Very happy."
Ganouen turned around and stared at Anya. Anya's reputation with the middlemen and intelligence dealers was still high enough. If she came forward in person, the middlemen could even skip the examination of their strength, which would save them a lot of trouble.
If he had listened to her excuse and brought Zyra or other Dark Elf subordinates here, he would have wasted a lot of time here.
Anya pretended not to notice his gaze, stared at the Cyclops intently and said, "I want to see the client and talk face to face."
"Do you want to meet the client? I don't recommend this very much. The client is a race that is unlikely to have trust in the dark elves." The Cyclops said, twirling his white beard.
"Then please give me a good 'introduction'. We and the client both want the life of Grand Duke Xihe, and maybe we can exchange some useful information." Anya took out a silver coin as the introduction fee, meaning Let the Cyclops persuade you.
"Understood." The Cyclops agreed immediately. He winked, and a bodyguard collected the silver coins for him.
"If that person is in Shaman City, he should have a reply within today." Anya said.
"Well..." Cyclops scratched his head with a hesitant expression, "She is indeed in Sandman City and has hired bodyguards from me, but I'm afraid she won't be able to see guests during the day."
"Why?" Anya was confused.
"She is drinking at this time. She has a rule. When drinking and sleeping, she is not allowed to disturb her unless there is something urgent. After drinking, she will take a nap until the evening, then get up and drink again before going to bed." Cyclops answered.
Eat and sleep, sleep and eat, is your client a pig? Anya almost blurted out.
"Then when can we see her?" Anya asked.
"She got up relatively early in the morning. When I give her breakfast at five o'clock tomorrow, I will explain to her that if she wants, you can see her then. Please be patient and wait a moment." Cyclops said.
"She's quite dignified with you?" Anya said something.
The fact that the other party took such good care of the client and was even willing to let Anya wait one more day showed that the client's face was greater than hers here.
"She paid me a lot of money in advance and is now my sponsor. I don't want her to be unhappy. If you want her to agree to see you, you'd better take care of her mood." Cyclops replied, and then took out a Zhang Qian said, "I feel sorry for making you wait one more day. This is a little compensation."
"What is this?" Anya asked smoothly.
"If you give the hospitality coupon here to the proprietress downstairs, you can have a good meal with wine here for free, and then stay one night." Cyclops replied.
Anya keenly noticed something and quickly declined: "No, there's no need for this..."
"Thank you." Ganon suddenly reached out and took the coupon.
Anya looked at Ganouen with wide eyes. Ganouen just glanced at her and ignored the protest in her eyes.
The Cyclops also looked at Ganoun with some surprise. When Anya first came in, he thought that this young human was just Anya's subordinate. Some dark elf families would also recruit or capture people from other races and train them into spies and assassins. .
But this human being had the guts to make such an independent decision, and Anya could only stare from the sidelines. Obviously, her status was not beneath Anya.
Could it be...
The old dwarf twirled his beard and speculated in his mind about the relationship between the two.
"Anyway, come back to me at six o'clock tomorrow morning and I will give you an answer." Cyclops said.
"Then, then it's settled." Anya could only reply like this first, glancing at the hospitality coupon that Ganouen took away with some concern.
She and Ganouen walked out of the box. As soon as the door closed, she turned to glare at Ganouen and asked in a low voice: "What are you planning?"
"What's the idea? Aren't we going to meet the client?" Ganon asked calmly.
"We can't meet until tomorrow. Why don't we go back today?"
"I'll get a reply at six o'clock tomorrow morning. Why spend five hours flying back and forth for something that takes less than half a day? Don't you think I'm not tired from this flight?" Ganouen replied matter-of-factly, "Eat one." Wouldn’t it be nice to just stay for one night?”
"You're probably thinking about letting me sleep in the same room with you next, right?" Anya thought to herself that the red dragon really had such an idea.
"Of course, it would be great if you could help me guard in my room in a place like this." Ganon smiled.
"I don't want it! I definitely don't want it!" Anya refused on the spot.
"That's okay. Wouldn't it be nice to have two rooms?" Ganon replied.
Anya looked at Ganouen suspiciously. Did this guy give up so easily?
Thinking about it carefully, it seems unrealistic to force her to live in the same room together.
If Ganon wanted to take such tough measures, he should have made excessive demands when he lived in the Endless Tower.
Just a minute later...
"The food is enough, but I'm sorry that the room only has one double bed." The proprietress behind the counter said in a toneless voice.
Ganouen turned to look at Anya. Anya stood there blankly, blinking her eyes and her cheeks twitching slightly.
After a while, she was so angry that she laughed. She glared at the landlady and said, "Sister, he and I are not in that kind of relationship. Don't make such a terrible plot. The money will make up for it. Arrange two marriages for us." Thank you for the room!!”
"Is it difficult to understand that there is only one room?" The landlady asked with a frown, "Another store in the same city was smashed due to gang violence. My place has been very full these days, and now there is one It’s rare to have free space, do you want to live in it?”
"Arrange it for us first." Ganon responded immediately to prevent this room from being robbed. "By the way, can I sleep in the stable here?"
Anya looked at Ganouen in surprise, how could this guy be such a gentleman? wrong!
She immediately realized what Ganon really meant.
Sure enough, Ganon, who noticed her gaze, turned around and smiled at her: "You are the one sleeping in the stable. The one who has an opinion about sleeping in the same room is you, not me."
"Sorry, you can't sleep in stables. Horses are often stolen. Likewise, warehouses can't sleep. I don't recommend sleeping on the streets in the middle of the night. There aren't any serious people wandering around the streets in the middle of the night in this city." The landlady said.
"No need, I will find a place to stay myself!" Anya replied with an unhappy look on her face.
Isn't it easy for her to find a safe place to spend the night in Sandman City? Are you kidding me if you ask her to spend the night with this red dragon?
"Then let's eat our food first." Ganouen didn't care about this and waved to the landlady.
After a feast of wine and food, Anya expressed her intention to go out to find a place to stay tonight, and Ganouen naturally followed her to the door.
"Why are you coming out with me?" Anya turned her head and looked at Ganouen warily.
"It's still early for bed, and I have nothing to do. I just happened to follow you for a walk. Are you tired of being so sensitive?" Ganouen shrugged.
You are not the one whose virginity is in danger! Anya cursed in her mind.
But there was nothing Ganon could do to follow her. She strode towards another city area, preparing to find a hotel she was familiar with.
It has become dark, and most of the shops and stalls except hotels and taverns are closed. There are no street lights or bonfires in Shaman City. People who live here seem to not like to hang out at night. The streets outside are dark and deserted. , in sharp contrast to the bright pub.
"Look, there's nothing to do at all tonight. Go back quickly!" Anya turned to Ganouen and said.
"It's good to take a casual look and learn about the customs and customs of this city-state." Ganon replied.
"What are the customs and customs of such a messy city-state?" Anya is used to living in the northwest, so naturally she doesn't realize what's interesting here.
When walking across the street, Anya suddenly felt the breath.
There were three people squatting together at the intersection diagonally across the street. As soon as they approached the group, they got up and came closer.
At the same time, the auras of two people appeared behind them - these two people had been following them from a long distance since they left the tavern.
"It seems like you really need to learn about the customs and customs here." Anya suddenly said in a deep voice.
