In Shaman City, four dwarves walked together on the path, whispering in a low voice:
"I've been searching for three days, but there's no news at all. There's no way to find out anything in this wretched place."
"Did she go somewhere else?"
"No, the nearest village on the edge of the desert is two hundred miles away, and there is no place to hide in a small place."
"Why do we have to do this chore?"
"Okay, there's no point in complaining!"
"His Majesty already let it go, so let's just put it aside."
"It's not as simple as you think. Your Highness can't find it easy. If something happens, it will be in trouble."
…
They were the people sent by Beishan Kingdom to assist the principality in searching for the whereabouts of Princess Mora. After hunters who were good at tracking discovered that Princess Mora had fled across the grasslands of the North Mountains to Shaman City on the edge of the desert, this matter became a mystery. A headache-inducing chore.
Princess Mora was obviously well prepared for this escape. Not only had she prepared the funds and route for the escape, but she might also have established some connections in advance.
From the moment she entered this sandman city, she seemed to have disappeared into the sea, and there was no trace of her again.
This mixed city is not easy for outsiders to adapt to, and it is almost impossible for searchers who are completely unprepared to start.
A cloaked figure appeared head-on, and the four of them didn't pay much attention at first.
But when the two parties approached each other, the man always walked in the middle of the road and had no intention of giving way.
One of the dwarves met his gaze and suddenly noticed something was wrong. He raised his hand to make his companions stop.
At the same time, the person standing on the opposite side also stopped.
This guy looked like a male human, with his face covered and a cloak on his body. Only his eyes were exposed, staring directly at them.
The dwarves read the unkind intention from the other party's eyes, and the other party stayed in place, neither getting out of the way nor continuing to move forward.
"Excuse me, my friend. If you want to cause trouble, you'd better choose someone." A dwarf said in a cold tone.
Others had their hands on the weapons they carried.
They are all well-trained Beishan warriors. If they fight as a team, they will not lose to the local gangs. If this human thinks that the dwarves are short, they can fight against four. In the next ten days and a half, they will probably only be able to fight. Spent it in bed.
The other party didn't reply, but raised his hand and summoned a fireball in his hand.
"Mage?" All the dwarves entered a battle-ready state.
When the group of dwarves were attracted by the fireball, Anya, who had been following them in hiding, appeared and shined an anesthetic-coated flying needle on everyone's neck.
The dwarves all shouted "Ah", and before they could react, Anya rushed up at lightning speed, hitting everyone on the head with her fists and kicks, knocking the dwarves to the ground.
As the medicine took effect, the dwarves were soon lying on the ground unable to move.
"It's done, let's have someone recover it." Ganon took back the fireball, "It's the fourth group, it's very tiring."
"Why are you tired? You just attracted some attention, I'm basically doing the work!" Anya said angrily.
Mora asked them to help deal with the people who were searching for her, and Ganon agreed first.
Mora seemed to have a lot of spare money on hand, and with "Cyclops" as a guarantee, she gave Ganouen a sum of money.
With Anya's intelligence gathering ability and connections, she used the money to open up her intelligence network in the city, and soon found a group of new faces who had recently come to Shaman City to inquire about a "little girl".
Mora's request was not only to find them, but also to capture them alive one by one, and then hand them over to the men of the "Cyclops" for detention.
That's right, capture alive, not kill - Mo La's purpose is just to escape from marriage. If the people sent by the principality or Beishan Kingdom to search for her are killed, things will become difficult to end. Some of the dwarves who came to search for her were acquaintances of Mora.
This undoubtedly greatly increased the workload of the mission. Anya spent the day running around in Shaman City, collecting intelligence everywhere, and then making arrangements to arrest people, without even taking care of food.
What Ganon did was just cooperate with Anya to arrest people.
Fortunately, within one day, they finally caught all the four groups of investigators they had inquired about, and handed them over to Cyclops's men to take them away. Finally, they went to reply to Mora with the results.
That night, a private room at the Tequila Bar.
"Awesome!" Mo La praised sincerely after receiving the reply.
"Then what should be done with the captured people?" Cyclops asked Mora.
"Robbing them of all their cash and valuables, giving them a warning and throwing them outside the city. They won't be able to stay here without the money, and these people won't really risk their lives for such a task. "Mora waved her hand.
"You drank a lot of wine again." Ganon saw Mo La's rosy face and knew that she had been drinking all afternoon again.
"No, in order to wait for you to hand over the results this afternoon, I only drank some 'tea'." Mo La grinned.
Both Ganon and Anya knew that the tea in her mouth must be referring to beer. Anya frowned slightly in displeasure. She ran for a day under Ganon's order. The dwarf spent his time here leisurely. It made her feel somewhat unbalanced.
If Mora is still not ready to cooperate with them in the end, and Ganon has an indifferent attitude, even if she can't say anything, she will definitely accumulate some resentment in her heart.
"There are twenty people in total. I can't guarantee that I have caught all the people who are searching for you, but it should be interesting enough to do this, right?" Ganon asked, staring at Moura.
"Of course, you have already shown your sincerity, and it would be unreasonable for me to doubt you any more!" After speaking, Mo La asked someone to bring beer over, then raised the glass and motioned to Ganouen, "Here's a drink, and I wish us happy cooperation. !”
"Happy cooperation!" Ganon picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Moura, and took a big sip.
When he put down the wine glass, Ganouen mentioned the plan he had mentioned before again: "So, are you willing to consider my previous proposal?"
"Yes, yes, but the premise is that you are sure to kill the Grand Duke. After all, it is a matter of personal risk." Mo La said while touching her chin.
Ganon has fulfilled her conditions. She no longer doubts this human's position, but it is still difficult to say whether the other party has the strength to assassinate the Grand Duke of Xihe.
After all, it is not difficult to uncover a group of pursuers and assassinate the ruler of a principality.
"In that case, do you want to go to my place to see the situation in person?" Ganon asked.
"Going to your place?" Mo La raised her eyebrows.
"I have a piece of land, just on the border of the empire. My manpower is deployed there. I will take you to inspect it personally to see if I have the conditions to assassinate Archduke Dipu. You see, you can't stay in Sand all the time. Are you going to stay at Manchester City?" Ganouen said seriously.
The fact that Mo La is in Shaman City has been known to the Xihe Principality and Beishan Kingdom. Even if this wave of pursuers is driven away, the next wave of pursuers will be on the way soon.
At present, they don't know much about the situation in Shaman City, so it's a bit difficult to start a search. But given time, it was only time before they found a way.
As for Moura, she stayed in Shaman City and hid in the "Cyclops". She also had to hire people to protect herself, which cost a lot of money every day.
There is no other better place for Mo La to go to right now. To a certain extent, she is actually trapped in Shaman City.
Mora narrowed her eyes and looked at Ganon.
Is it a bit too hasty? Ganouen was a little unsure.
If he were to put himself in his shoes, if he were Mo La, even if the other party completed his commission and proved his position, he would not easily agree to go with the other party.
"Okay, okay, let me ask first, where is your land?" Moura stared at Ganouen and asked, she waved, and someone brought her a map.
"Here." Ganon pointed to the location of a village on the border of the empire. "I do farm business here, and recently opened a trade route to Shaman City. I have a long-term relationship with a grain buyer here, and his head office You can send someone to confirm on the easternmost street of this city."
"Okay, I'll go check it out. If there's no problem, I'll go and have a look with you." Mo La responded quickly.
"Thank you for your trust." Ganon nodded.
This dwarf princess is a little thoughtful, but not much. She is actually quite easy to talk to.
"I actually know very well that it is unrealistic to recruit someone who can kill the perverted Grand Duke in a place like this. It is impossible without taking some risks. Now that you are looking for me, maybe it is a kind of It's fate." Mo La held up the wine glass with a bold look on her face, "I'm willing to believe you once!"
If she still can't find a way to get rid of Archduke Dipu, Moura will sooner or later be unable to stay in Sandman City. There will be no good place to go if she leaves, and there is a high probability that she will be discovered and captured.
I believe that this sudden appearance of a collaborator carries certain risks, but this risk is still worth taking for her. If you miss this collaborator, other opportunities may not come your way.
"I like cheerful people!" Ganon also raised his glass and drank it down with Mora.
"Uncle One-Eyed, thank you for taking care of me during this time!" Mora turned to the Cyclops and shouted.
"You're welcome, I'm repaying the favor, and I've also made a lot of money from you." The Cyclops struck a match and lit his pipe, "Although it's not much of an identification gift, I have the same person you want to kill here. The Grand Duke has information about your relationship, so I will share it with you for free."
Hearing this, Ganon couldn't help but pricked up his ears.
"Actually, it has little to do with your matter. Wasn't the middleman in the west city entrusted by the Principality of Xihe to issue a reward for slaying a dragon? We all feel that such a nonsense commission cannot be accepted by anyone in Shaman City." The Cyclops held his pipe and said, "But it is said that at noon today, someone found an intermediary and said he wanted to take over the commission."
