Less than a quarter of an hour later, Fang Yu understood what had happened.
Not long after he ended the call with Alyssa, the guild selling Earth Source Crystals sent a message. Although the other party sounded sorry, they still suspended the transaction with them.
The big cat man saw him put down the communication crystal and asked: "So -, because the descendants of Flor are obstructing it, the other party will not trade with us?"
Fang Yu nodded, his tone a little surprised. "That's pretty much it. The other party seemed to have figured out what we were here for and contacted the people from that guild."
"...In addition, Alyssa followed the descendants of Flor for a while and happened to see them meeting people from that guild."
He looked at the communication crystal at hand, "Anyway, the other party also sent a message and canceled the transaction with us. Because when we were in the Adventurer's Guild, the other party only saw the mission we posted and had an intention. So it can’t be said to be a breach of contract or anything like that.”
"What's more, given our current situation," the big cat man said, "even if the other party breaches the contract, there is no way to go to the Adventurer's Guild for arbitration, right?"
Fang Yu picked up the tea cup, took a sip of water, and nodded in a muffled voice.
Even though he has a grudge against the descendants of Flor, it is still quite annoying to encounter such a thing now.
Although he didn't expect those people to reflect, he also didn't expect that the other party would take things to this extent just because of a small conflict.
If the other party really sailed the ship to Konghai to cause trouble for them, he would respect the other party for being an aboveboard man.
But instead of using these little tricks——
According to Alyssa, the other party probably just wanted to teach them a small lesson.
This is probably because the descendants of Flor also have urgent matters and cannot spare time.
Fang Yu almost laughed out of anger. If he could pull it off, what would happen to these people? He is not afraid of coming to trouble them.
"They went too far," Ai Xiaoxiao said in disbelief, "It was obviously their fault at the port."
Tianlan hummed twice, and the old god said: "Don't be surprised, Xiaoxiao, those people have this kind of virtue."
"But what should we do?" Ai Xiaoxiao frowned again and again.
"What else can I do?" The big man in sky blue fell down on the sofa and sighed, "If someone doesn't want to do business with you, you can't buy and sell by force. I think this debt will be settled on the descendants of Flor. That’s it, they can cause trouble for us, and we can cause trouble for them.”
Even though he said that, everyone in the room seemed a little dull.
Although it's not a big deal, it feels uncomfortable to give people the impression that it was done for no reason.
The big cat man wiped his paws, but Miss Attila was still calm.
Baggins would take a look at what was going on every few minutes.
Siesta raised her head and stood behind Sylvide, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
Finally, Fang Plover sighed, "Forget it, just think of it as a wasted trip."
Tian Lan is right, they can't buy or sell by force.
Fortunately, Tuyuan Crystal is not only available in Orunze, but the market here is relatively large.
But at this time, Tang Xin and Sylvide, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke:
"Actually, it's not impossible."
Then the two looked at each other at the same time.
"Miss Sylvide, let's talk first." Tang Xin pursed her lips and said in a sour tone.
"Tangtang, you say it first," Fang Yu interrupted. He couldn't hear the dissatisfaction in his cousin's tone. Although he didn’t know why Tangtang and Sylvide were always at odds with each other, he at least knew that Miss Ship Officer wouldn’t care about it.
He looked back and saw Sylvester smiling at him.
"What else can be done?" So Fang Pliover asked.
Tang Xin looked at the couple and said in a cold tone, "Does the descendant of Flor have anything to do with that guild?"
Fang Yu always felt that the crybaby's gaze was going to kill him at the next moment, although he didn't know where he had offended him.
"This, it seems not."
"That's it. In what name does the descendant of Flor ask the other party to terminate the transaction with us?"
An idea flashed in Fang Yu's heart, and he silently put the tea cup back, as if something suddenly occurred to him.
That's right, why should the descendants of Flor ask the other party to terminate the transaction with them?
There is no affiliation between the two. Although the Descendants of Flor are the leading guild alliance in the country, the influence of the Descendants of Flor has not yet crossed the southern border.
As for the Kaulin royal family, that is only valid for Port Oronze, and the selectors do not sell the face of the aborigines.
After all, the Tuyuan Crystal they issued a mission to purchase was a big deal. Ordinary guilds will never remain indifferent easily.
Seeing Fang Yu's stunned look, Tang Xin couldn't help but feel a little happy.
In some ways, the siblings are modeled after each other.
She thought to herself, Fang Zhizhi, look at how careless you are, why don’t you want me to remind you?
"Cousin, if you are thinking nonsense here, why not just ask Miss Alyssa what is going on."
"Ah, yes," Fang Yu suddenly realized, he almost forgot about this.
The communication crystal was lit, and Alyssa's voice soon came from over there:
"Captain, what's the matter?"
Fang Yu stated the situation here, and Alyssa's voice was a little enlightened, "You said this, it's actually very simple. The people of Flor's descent paid a higher price than us. And it should be much higher. , otherwise the other party would not change his mind so quickly."
"Can I ask specifically how much it is?"
"It's a bit difficult, but I can give it a try."
Fang Plover waited for about a quarter of an hour.
In short, Miss Nightingale did not know what method she used to get the information.
After hearing her answer, Fang Yu was a little confused for a moment, "That's it?"
"That's it, Master."
Fang Yu put down the communication crystal and sat in silence.
Ai Xiaoxiao looked at this scene and asked curiously: "How much does it cost, cousin of the group leader?"
These are all messy names, Fang Yu thought to himself. However, he was successfully distracted and replied: "A lot taller than us."
Everyone looked at each other, but no one said anything stupid like bidding with the descendants of Flor. Not to mention the size of the Seven Seas Brigade and the descendants of Flor, it was not worth paying high prices to buy materials.
Fang Yu didn't expect that the descendants of Flor's methods were so simple, but they just couldn't do it yet.
Even if the other party is so wealthy, there is nothing he can do.
The hope that had just been ignited seemed to flicker and then go out again.
Tang Xin looked at him and wrinkled her nose, "Cousin, you don't think it's true, do you?"
"What do you mean?" Fang Yu was stunned and raised his head again.
At this time, there was a jingling sound outside the door, and several people were attracted to pay attention, only to find that it was just the doorbell ringing next door.
Fang Plover turned around, but this time it was Sylvide who spoke. She smiled and said:
"Sir Captain, where did the descendants of Flor come up with such a sum of money to purchase these Earth Source Crystals?"
"The descendants of Flor have plenty of money."
"The descendants of Flor have a lot of money, but every money has a source. The Earth Origin Crystal is worth a lot of money. What name do they use to use this money?"
Tang Xin also said: "Buying equipment and supplies can be reported, but what is the Earth Source Crystal used for? It's not a coincidence that they just happen to use the Earth Source Crystal, right?"
She spoke calmly, "Cousin, you don't care about money. You don't understand the importance of every money being traceable. The bigger the guild, the more so. Otherwise, everyone can mobilize resources without limit. Wouldn't it be chaos?"
"So?" Fang Yu was confused for a moment, and he became dizzy when the accounts were mentioned.
"It's impossible for the people of Flor's descent to spend such a large amount of money against us. They are cheating."
Sylvide also nodded: "The descendant of Flor should have bribed someone within the guild, otherwise it would not be so easy for the other party to believe it. If we investigate, it should be easy to find out."
Fang Yu finally understood.
Luo Hao asked at this time: "Are you sure?"
Tang Xin frowned, how could she be completely sure about this kind of thing?
But Sylvide smiled: "I'm certain. Besides, it won't cost anything. Captain, you can make an appointment with the other party, and we can consider the price. I guess the other party will agree."
Fang Yu was convinced at once. Indeed, they are not short of time at the moment.
Although they don't necessarily need this batch of Earth Origin Crystals, it is not necessarily safe or troublesome to leave Oronze and go to other areas of Nognis - this is the largest cargo distribution center and trading market in the entire Far South.
What's more, it's not in line with his character to ask him to bow his head and admit defeat when he encounters the slightest trouble.
He thought about it in his mind, then picked up the communication crystal and sent a message there.
As expected by Sylvester, the other party was a little impatient at first, but after hearing his purpose, his tone soon relaxed.
They said they needed to ask the president for his opinion, but they didn't turn off the communication crystal, but just covered it with their hands.
A hazy argument came from the other end of the crystal. After a while, the sound became clear:
"The president agreed, and we will meet at the agreed place."
"Okay." Fang Yu said concisely.
He turned off the communication crystal and felt a little clearer in his heart. People who are greedy will always be greedy. Tang Xin and Sylvester's predictions were probably right.
Ai Xiaoxiao was still asking in a low voice: "What if the person who contacted us is bribed by the descendant of Flor, wouldn't we be in trouble?"
Tang Xin sneered, "That would be best. It would save us the time of investigation. They won't only have one external liaison person, right?"
Ai Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered what happened to Achilles and couldn't help but suddenly realized.
Fang Yu looked at his cousin and then at Sylvide. How did they think of so much from just a few words of conversation?
There are a few overly shrewd women in the team. Doesn't it sometimes seem like he, the leader, is too stupid?
At this time, the doorbell rang.
The person who rang the doorbell next door came to their room.
Luo Hao walked over and opened the door. He blocked the door and talked with the person outside for a while, but he couldn't see who was over there.
After a while, the fat man came back and said to them: "It's nothing, just a servant. He came to clean, but I refused."
This incident attracted Fang Plover's attention.
"Speaking of which, this place is no longer safe enough," he said while taking the communication crystal back into his arms. After the matter with the Tuyuan Crystal was settled, he had to consider another aspect - how to get out of trouble. "Although when you move in, We deliberately found a hotel that didn’t require registration, but the situation was different then.”
He looked at the big cat and Baggins, "Neither the big cat nor Sylvester were in disguise when they came in. Although no one might be able to think of anything for a while, but in the long run there will always be times when they are exposed. .”
"You mean, let's change our footing?" Luo Hao asked.
Others also looked over.
Fang Yu nodded, "Let's disguise ourselves first, then check out in batches, and then use the disguised image to find the next place to stay. This way we can minimize the risk."
"It's just that I'm still a little worried." He looked at the others. He had checked his process of analyzing the problem before and found that they had missed an important omission. "Captain Bozuo and his deputy have seen us, although I think The old captain is not such a person, but we have always been accustomed not to place our hopes on others, so from now on, we have to try our best to gain time."
“Then let’s divide the troops into three groups,” Luo Hao said. “Contact that guild, investigate the informants bribed by the descendants of Flor, then contact the thieves guild to find a way to smuggle across, and finally purchase supplies and collect intelligence. "
"The difficulty of these three tasks is different. You can combine them freely according to your ability. However, when sneaking back to the Seven Seas Traveler, you must be a person with a safe identity and be careful."
Apparently most people agree with this solution.
They discussed it and finally decided that Tang Xin and Sylvide would negotiate with the other party.
The plan was proposed by two people, so naturally it would be safest for them to implement it. Although Miss Ship Officer's identity is sensitive, her disguise skills are also top-notch and have been verified many times.
In this group of people, Fang Plover serves as the flower protector and is responsible for ensuring safety.
Bring Jita and Luo Yu with them as support for the spell team, just in case something goes wrong.
The sneak back team is led by Luo Hao, and its main members are Pasha and Ai Xiaoxiao, as well as Ms. Papamo.
This fat man from the military is quite reliable and decisive, and the identities of the other people are also safe enough.
The remaining people disguised themselves and moved around the city, responsible for purchasing supplies and gathering intelligence.
It is worth mentioning that Miss Elf volunteered to take over the task of contacting the Thieves Guild.
She only wanted one deputy, Tianlan.
Originally, Fang Piao's ideal candidate was Miss Nightingale, but since Miss Aitila had recommended herself, he would certainly not object.
When it comes to who is the most reliable person in the team, the first one that pops up in Fang Plover's mind is probably Miss Elf.
If the Seven Seas Troupe didn’t have Miss Elf or Big Catman, would it still be the Seven Seas Troupe?
At the end, everyone is assigned the tasks they want. But only the tall and mighty Lion Paladin raised a question:
"Then again," Rhett rubbed his chin with his big paw, "Ed, how should I disguise myself?"
"It's easy."
Sylvide and Miss Attila looked at each other and smiled, and it was rare for Fang Plover to see such a bad taste in Miss Attila's gentle smile.
"Remember the mushrooms on Fenris Island?" she asked.
Tianlan's face turned red, "Oh, Miss Attila, why did you mention that!?"
The elf lady shook her head amusedly and looked at the big cat man a little pitifully.
"Wait, wait a minute..."
Rhett's smile froze, and the pipe he just took out rolled to the ground.
…
Silian lowered his head and looked at the time. The copper hands on the old pocket watch had just passed between the moon and the stars. According to Etalia's timekeeping method, it was early morning.
It's just dawn.
He wiped the stained glass and looked up.
Several Holy Chosen Ones were smiling and talking to him, "Mr. Silian, when are you planning to marry off your daughter? Please, Miss Betsey, please consider your own people in the guild."
Those were several young people.
Cillian looked at them with a straight face and said angrily: "Go, go, go."
The young people laughed.
"Miss Beij is recovering well. I think it won't take long for her to be like us."
"Yes, Miss Beji is so cute. She may be the most beautiful bride in the city in the future."
"Ah, Miss Beji is my wife, I'm dead!"
Cillian looked at these young people and shook his head, but after a while, he smiled himself.
He knew that no one had any ill intentions. Although outsiders were often suspicious of the chosen ones, it was indeed these people who took him in, a disabled man who had survived the battlefield, and treated him equally.
His youngest daughter has been frail and sickly since she was a child due to physical reasons. In order for this little daughter to survive, it is such a heavy burden for this already dilapidated family.
The middle-aged man lowered his head and carefully wiped the fog on the glass cover again.
But he never felt anything. He only felt that he still owed something to his daughter.
"You don't have to adjust it so accurately," the young people said, "the other party may not be on time."
But Silian shook his head, "These earth source crystals are very important to the guild. If we sell them at a suitable price, the guild will be much better off in the first half of next year."
Several young people smiled and said, "You care about the guild more than us, but it will be different next year."
The Super Competitive Alliance has issued regulations that free guilds, regardless of their size, must have a foundation on the earth.
Although this and the regulations have not yet crossed the southern border, Silian has heard of it long ago.
Although those things are very far away to him, the Super Competitive League, another world, is like a fantasy to other aborigines.
"Mr. Cillian, I heard that Miss Betsey has a brother?"
someone asked.
Cillian nodded.
At this time, the young people's voices became quieter, and he also raised his head and saw a gloomy face walking towards this side under the eastern light.
Someone patted him from behind and said, "Mr. Cillian, be careful."
The young people whispered behind him, "That guy wants to hug the descendant of Flor. If you ruin his good deeds, he may deal with you in private."
A pair of eyes looked in that direction.
"That's disgusting," someone muttered, "I don't know why the president would condone such a guy."
Silian turned back, "The president has his own judgment. Besides, if the descendant of Flor offers a higher price, I don't mind who I sell it to."
"Yes, yes," the young people chuckled, "Mr. Silian is the president's loyal dog, we all know this."
The middle-aged man puffed up his chest and didn't bother to tell these idiots that this was a soldier's sense of honor.
…
