"You don't have the right to know what exactly we are holding in our hands, do you?" I said with a smile, "Maybe according to the laws of the empire, only the inspectors of the empire should know about this kind of thing, right?"
"That's just an ordinary ore." The fat businessman sneered, probably trying to pretend that he had a plan in mind, "On the contrary, you, as adventurers, opened the mission target without authorization. This is a violation of the Adventurer's Guild. It’s a rule! If I tell the Adventurer’s Guild about this, you will be blacklisted soon!”
"So... you admit that these things are the same as what's in the box?" I held the dark stone and looked at him with a half-smile, "Hey, I never said that these things came from the box. It’s what you got inside. Seeing your reaction is so great, does that mean there is indeed this kind of stuff in the box?”
"What...what!" The fat businessman showed an expression of disbelief. He stumbled to a box, suddenly opened the black cloth, and then his eyes froze.
Then, the next one——
He opened all the black cloths like crazy, trying to find traces of us opening the box, but he couldn't find them at all.
After all, it is a very advanced space magic. It will leave material traces on the box and it will look very unprofessional.
"You, you..." The fat on the businessman's face was trembling, "No, it's okay!"
He turned around with a cruel smile on his face: "No, it doesn't matter! Send them to the Inspection Department. These are just ordinary stones. Although they have some value, they are completely legal!"
"Then send these people over as well." I used my feet to pull the unconscious people on the ground, "These guys all look a little delirious. They say they saw angels or something. Maybe they are a new cult." , but unfortunately——"
I raised my eyebrows, looked at the businessman, then put my free hand behind my back, and drew the mark of the earth elf in mid-air.
"These things were found in their pockets, and the most unfortunate thing is that a certain businessman seemed to admit that the goods he transported were these 'somewhat valuable' stones."
"..." I could see the businessman's throat moving slightly.
"You...what do you want?!" The businessman suddenly shouted, his face turned red and his hands were shaking, "What do you want, as long as you don't tell this matter, it is within my ability. Everything can satisfy you!”
"What are you carrying now?" I tilted my head and looked at his bulging pocket, "It seems like a lot?"
The fat on the businessman's face trembled.
"It's all..."
"Is it something valuable?"
"……Yes."
The businessman's face turned gray.
"There is a deed here. It's a very good location in Wells, it's No. 18 Second Avenue. In exchange for this deed, it's okay if you don't tell the inspector these things!"
"In that case, what's your name?" I took the house deed from his hand, but his fists were clenched a little tight, as if he was very reluctant to let go. After I pulled it, he let go in a panic.
"Pi, Pearson...Pearson Potter."
"Ah, I'm just waiting for your words." I lightly touched the air, and a magical light emerged from my fingertips like an elf, circled around me and then disappeared into my hand. out of the bottle.
Pearson was stunned.
"The evidence is here. He begged for mercy and tried to impress me with benefits. However, as a good citizen of the empire, I deeply hate this kind of thing, so I was not moved by him. Instead, I took these words as evidence in court." I took He picked up the bottle and the house deed, shook it, and said, "The physical evidence and witnesses are all there."
"...Why?!" Pearson's face turned pale in an instant, "No...the price is negotiable! And if you tell the Inspection Department about me, you will get nothing but banners and verbal praise. !!”
"But I am a good citizen of the Empire——"
"What on earth do you want to do! Did those guys call you here?!" Pearson yelled as if he had collapsed, "I just secretly took a batch of goods and sold them privately. There is no need to kill them all, right? What if? If I die, who will distribute it to you? How much can you sell with those mud legs?!"
Oh, I seem to have heard something interesting.
Sure enough, this matter does not seem to be simple...
I looked at Nolan Lusi, only to find that her eyes were shining and she was watching our exchange with interest.
After noticing that I turned my head, she said with some surprise: "Hey, what's wrong with you? Keep going!"
"It's up to you to decide." I said awkwardly.
Just now I suddenly realized that there seemed to be no reason for us to get involved in this matter. We did it purely because I was having fun...
"Me?" Nolan Lusi pointed to herself in surprise, and then immediately reacted, "Oh, yes, I seem to be the registered captain!?"
That's right! Although I usually make the decision, the leader on the surface is actually Nolan Lusi. After all, if Aidolu finds out that I have become the captain or something, they will probably tear me apart...
"Then, you must choose to continue exploring!" Nolan Lusi looked full of energy.
Pearson next to him was completely stunned.
"Who...are you?" He looked at us with a ridiculous face, "Aren't you his subordinates?"
"Then let's start by asking questions first." The corners of Nolan Lusi's mouth raised slightly, "Hey, tell me, who is 'that guy' in your mouth?"
"...I can't say it." Pearson's sweat flowed from his forehead and his face was filled with despair. "I made a soul oath. If I say that name, I will die."
"How dare you make such a thing as a soul oath?" Nolan Lesi said with her hands on her hips, "Tsk, tsk, you are really cruel to yourself. Forget it, I also thought that I could directly find the person behind the scenes at the beginning, but these You always know what the thing is, right?"
Nolan Lusi took a black stone from my hand and shook it: "Since it sounds like you are trying your best to sell these things privately, it must be something powerful, right?"
"It's the Ink Star Stone." Pearson's throat rolled. "This kind of thing can be ground into powder. People who eat it can... be very happy, and it can be addictive."
"...I understand, this kind of thing." Nolan Lesi's face darkened instantly, "Now we are grasshoppers tied to a thread." I want to chat with more like-minded people about "Being" After the Demon King was defeated, I became her minion", " ", chatting about life and looking for a confidant~
