More and more people gathered at the market in the morning, and Mo Gan could hear the discussion about the pirate ship incident last night as he walked out.
Sounds can be heard in the nearby mountainous areas without any obstruction, and the port is no exception. But it is obvious that most people only know about the existence of pirate ships, because compared to the pirate ships that go to the port calmly after firing their cannons, the cargo ships that are "hidden in the night" as Frank described are so clever and difficult to see. arrive.
People who observe after the sound of cannons will have a hard time discovering such an existence that is extremely hidden in color and time of appearance.
Regarding the previous "business model", it was not just now that Mo Gan thought of establishing a good relationship with the vendors at Pandora Market.
When he met several vendors whose goods were not good and whose prices were outrageous, he really didn't give them a good look. But this is not just a personal emotion caused by being treated as an outsider, it is also about filtering out those goals that are too greedy for small profits and small benefits and do not have a long-term vision.
It is true that the stall owners of Pandora Market have sufficient resources and power. Regardless of their character, they are walking treasure troves of money. If he needs to settle down and plans to start a business and open a shop here to make money, Mogan will naturally have a good relationship with everyone.
But what he wants to do is not stay long.
This is just a springboard. We only need one partner, so we will naturally have the capital to strive for excellence. Now we need to find a reliable local coworker to build connections and create a small relationship.
As for the screening targets who are eliminated from the beginning, it would be best if the other party can consciously take a detour when seeing you.
It's just that the progress can't be so fast. I have reached an unexpected contact for the information Frank said, and I need to get out as soon as possible.
Mogan felt quite comfortable when he left the stall. He felt that after suffering successive blows in the evening, he had finally made a comeback and was a little closer to grasping all the anomalies around the town and ensuring that the plan was carried out correctly.
Another surprising clue is the timing of Frank's assignment.
The boss's name was Kalman Fleming, and he found Frank in the afternoon rather than at night, long before pirate ships. This also means that the stall owner has some relevant clues that let him know that something will happen there in advance.
But the information available doesn't end there.
The materials have been collected, and Morgan has completed the work given by Lucifer. Before going back to look for someone, because the sudden arrival of the boss prevented him from asking the last question, he chose to check it himself and went around to the clothing store on the edge of the market.
The population density of the indigenous people in the Lightsman Mountains is very low, and most of the people coming and going are merchants doing business in the market. Because of this, the most expensive Pandora Market is stalls selling materials, and there is only one clothing store, probably just to make up the numbers.
Although it is said to be a handmade product, the cost of the store is there after all. The average price of the clothing store is higher than many clothes normally sold in places like Windsor Town. They take the upper-class route, but the design of most of the clothes is still different. coincide.
Mogan found the location by partition, checked the price of similar formal wear, and even directly found the same style.
For three hundred guilders, Frank was given an advance of three-fifths of his salary.
The possibility of a "gift" has been ruled out. Frank, who is struggling to make ends meet, cannot spend most of his hard-earned money on clothes. Even if he is a child who is willing to starve for glory, he will obviously pay attention to his cleanliness. , instead of not taking care of your appearance during the time when you have nothing to do and look at the stalls, leaving wrinkles on the shoulders that are so easily visible.
Then there is another possibility. The new clothes are the outfit provided by his boss in the morning. Maybe they are just to cover up the grit on his body, or maybe they are to contrast with the image of yesterday when he dressed like a thief and almost became a thief. .
Maybe even both.
As time went by, another contradiction appeared in the boss's approach. If Frank was asked to hide his identity when he visited the pier last night from the beginning, why should he be given a promise to help look after the stalls early in the morning?
Mogan has no conclusive evidence in this regard and can only give a reverse guess that is consistent with the clues. Maybe the boss did have some understanding of what happened at the dock at night, but his understanding was not comprehensive, and he didn't expect that things would become such a big deal.
According to Frank, the income from looking at the stalls is high; from Mogan’s perspective, this kind of commission not only costs money, but also risks losing goods for the stall owners who leave. No matter how you look at it, this is a job assignment that can grab your head. Apart from family ties, Morgan can't think of a reason to just pick up someone on the street, and this condition may be Frank's new face.
Frank works only "at night", there is no specific time period, and the location is actually a dock, not the sea.
Perhaps the overly exciting picture will make little Frank ignore the difference, but this will not affect Mogan.
Maybe the stall owner Kalman wanted to assign a long-term job to this rare new face, but he was also afraid that he would suspect or reveal the secret, so he used one night as an observation period and at the same time offered another long-term job with great potential, in order to make him Frank couldn't say no.
What Kalman didn't expect was that such a big mistake would happen on the first day, forcing him to comfort Frank with a fixed attitude of "business as usual" and at the same time buy him a new one that would make him completely different from yesterday. To achieve both ends at the same time.
Mo Gan had reason to believe that his guess was accurate.
But what he didn't expect was that the flow of people around him seemed to be heading in a special direction.
The direction he is heading now.
A bad premonition arose in his heart. Mo Gan just followed the flow of people and felt something was wrong as he walked.
More noisy sounds mean that there is another change in the market, at a certain location. Since when there is excitement, the crowd always tends to the center of the excitement, so Mogan was a little uneasy as he walked towards the place agreed upon with Lucifer.
After all, the person who can cause the most trouble in the entire Lightsman Mountains is indeed there.
When he arrived at the place and could use the tall man to see what was going on in front of him, he first breathed a sigh of relief.
The situation was better than expected, but I wasn't completely reassured, but I couldn't keep holding my breath in my throat.
Mo Gan struggled to sit down for a while to control his expression, but he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
Of course, he immediately paid attention to the white stone table and chair set that the king had used to rest. He also saw the figure wearing a white wizard robe and a hood. He didn't even move, sitting still. land.
The stone benches and chairs form a kind of "protective color" that even passers-by have to take a second look to detect his presence. Such a coincidence makes Lucifer look less conspicuous, but the problem lies in this "immobility" .
When I first came here, even as a king, I had to compete with others for a resting place and sit in the corner of the chair. But now, the people who originally rested near the tables and chairs have almost completely cleared out, and finally only an anonymous king is left, monopolizing the entire stone chair.
Fortunately, the focus of other people's eyes was not here - but the two groups of people standing opposite each other on both sides of the road beside the tables and chairs.
The sword was tense, as if he was about to take action.
It is worth noting that there are a large number of people on one side, all wearing the uniforms of the local mage association and colorful mage robes distinguished by attributes and abilities; there are only two people on the other side, but they are not suppressed by the colorful opponent at all. Limelight.
It wasn't the girl in the long skirt who was fifteen or sixteen years old, but the white-haired man in front of her with her arms folded.
The thin transparent scales extending from the eyes to the earlobes, the erect ears shaped like fish gills, and the blue tail fin leaking from under the hem of the costume. These characteristics all support the conclusion that this is a male mermaid who shows off his racial characteristics without hesitation.
Not only are the features distinctive, but the man's expression does not look like a good one either, which brings the stereotype of the "cold and cruel" shark to its extreme. The liveliness between clans is relatively rare, but it's not that it doesn't happen, it just rarely happens in places like this.
Mo Gan is well-informed, but still a little unable to hold back.
After all, from his perspective, he was only two meters away from the center of the confrontation, and the "invisible" king was sandwiched between the two positions.
