Chapter 650: Turning Trash into Treasure
Chapter 650: Turning Trash into Treasure (Combined Chapter)
Xiaogu's back sank, but soon recovered. Bo's body and movements were unusually light and it did not seem to be strenuous at all.
At this moment, enjoying the anti-slavery man's stroking of his fur, the bone wolf also made a comfortable snoring sound.
It was precisely because everyone on Shi Cha's side knew that it was a mountain dog and believed in its hunting ability that they confidently handed the task of hunting down the two people to Xiao Gu... and they were able to escape calmly.
The thief shouts to catch the thief.
Chad wiped the saliva off his face in disgust, changed into his previous clothes, looked at Bo and asked, "When can we go back?"
"Is there any injury on your body?"
Chad held out his palms to indicate - there were indeed no obvious marks left on them.
"That's good," Bo nodded, "otherwise we'll just have to follow the team and head to the depression lagoon on our own."
Now, they just need to wait for the situation to calm down and sneak back again.
With so many people, no one would pay attention to the whereabouts of one or two of them.
"Well, until then..."
In the eyes of that noble chamber of commerce, their group was already a member of the merchant guild.
And he is a high-ranking second-level franchisee.
"I really don't know where he got all these weird props and identities." Chad secretly complained behind his back.
"These things themselves are not difficult," Bo said with a smile, "As long as you have captured them before, you can find some tokens and evidences by searching. We anti-slavery fighters have also collected quite a few..."
"What's really hard is making the fake come true."
The plastic card that Lu Meng showed was indeed a genuine one. He got it when he defeated a group of second-level merchants when he first entered the Land of Flash.
At that time, the other party was ordered to come to the swamp to investigate the "missing" Yamudu.
Just hit it.
However, it now seems that Long En sent out various second-level merchants more for the purpose of making a gesture.
It shows how much he values Yamudu.
In order to confuse the world.
As for the second-tier merchants who seemed to be prominent in the eyes of the outside world, they were nothing more than discarded pawns when they were needed.
"It's just that the identity certificate has a time limit." Bo explained, "Sometimes, it is issued temporarily and automatically expires after a mission... The longest period will not exceed six months."
Once it expires, you must return to Merchant Blade for re-authentication.
It is also a performance review and assessment.
Depending on the completion of the task, rewards will be given or demotion will be imposed.
This time limit was set, on the one hand, to prevent second-level merchants from traveling outside and taking advantage of the fact that the emperor is far away to wantonly consume the guild's chartered authority.
On the other hand, it is also to prevent their enemies from using their credentials to disguise their identities when they are lost.
Otherwise, if the disguise could be pulled off so easily, the anti-slavery fighters would have already successfully penetrated the upper echelons of the Merchant Guild - the certificates of all levels that they collected are now almost all invalid, and serve more as a means of calculating spoils and displaying them.
"So," Chad confirmed, "The Red King's real target is the 'identity' of the noble leader..."
"Yes."
When Lu Meng obtained the second-level business license, its validity period was already approaching its expiration date. If he showed it in a formal occasion, it would soon be discovered.
What's more, even without credentials, most second-level merchants know each other.
Can't blend in.
However, the caravan was in chaos due to a conflict and had just experienced an assassination attempt by anti-slavery activists. Shi Cha had neither the energy nor the courage to check the details of the identity credentials.
At this time, giving a reasonable explanation may make the other party feel relieved.
Afterwards, even when I recall it, there are still doubts.
I dare not delve into it.
Then he makes up his mind to justify it.
"To him, the fact that we are second-class merchants is a secret that cannot be revealed." Bo has already assumed the identity of the noble, "So, the noble will try every means to help us cover it up."
"The best way is..."
"Let us become one of them," Chad continued.
A legitimate third-level franchised merchant.
Its leader, family background, assets... are all registered at the Merchant Guild headquarters, but the members have been replaced and the company has gone public through a backdoor listing.
They set out from Shem and headed to the Depression Lagoon and South Union City, which was too conspicuous.
But if it comes to local merchants, it’s different.
"Using a useless card to exchange for a real identity..." Bo couldn't help but laugh, "Although it seems to be a downgrade on the surface, in fact, anyone can make such a wise choice."
When she first discovered that the visitors were a caravan from the Merchant Guild, she did have the urge to kill them.
However, as Mr. Gray said: simple killing cannot solve the problem, and these anti-slavery activists are by no means as the official imperial propaganda says, just a bunch of thugs who only know how to destroy but have no intention of building.
Break down an old world.
And build a new world.
Both are equally important.
So she sneaked into the enemy's camp, observed secretly, and finally agreed to Lu Meng's plan.
start execution.
Judging from Bo's own eyes, the foundation of this noble caravan has indeed not changed, but their leader himself can be fought for or at least taken advantage of.
To some extent.
It was indeed Shi Cha who saved himself.
"I just don't know what they'll talk about us over there..." Chad was a little excited, but it was impossible to go back directly now.
Although he was a technology hunter, when he got to know Lukin, Ji Hai and others, he also learned about the organization and deeds of the Anti-Slavers.
Although he had some stealth skills before, they were not outstanding and were always discovered by his friends who drove land bats.
Afterwards, he followed Yingbu and trained under Bo's guidance, and made rapid progress.
Although Bo said it was not enough, he was actually a little surprised in his heart.
Moreover, she could see it from her eyes.
The boxing and kicking skills used by this technology hunter also have some traces of ancient martial arts.
Passed down from that bone man.
He had to be skilled in stealth and martial arts to successfully disguise himself as an anti-slavery activist.
For Chad.
This is my first experience like this.
"Who knows?" she said, "but I always have a bad feeling..."
"For someone..."
"Jerg!?" After hearing the name, Shi Cha was so scared that he took a few steps back and sat on the chair, almost falling down. "You said that the anti-slavery activist who hid later... was Jerg?"
He made his fortune in business in North Union City.
How could I not have heard of this name?
"Calm down." Lu Meng leaned back in her chair. "I just said 'it's possible'."
Jaeger, the anti-slavery activist he knew.
He is not necessarily the strongest among the anti-slavers, after all, there are still those war-level ronin;
He is not necessarily the best assassin among them. After all, sometimes you don't need to be very strong to kill the target. Compared with the head-on confrontation with Jaeger, sometimes the success rate of the stealth master Bo is even higher.
But he must be the most famous.
After all, only his name was leaked, along with his appearance and characteristics, and was put on the wanted list.
"As for Tin Fist..." Lu Meng thought, "I'm afraid there are still many people who don't know that he is the leader of the anti-slavery movement."
This is definitely an extremely adverse impact on Jager.
To some extent.
This also eliminated the possibility of him disguising his identity and carrying out a stealth assassination.
But this anti-slavery activist also found a method that suited him - that is, to use himself as bait and in turn try his best to expand his fame. All actions must be vigorous. The assassination scene is also extremely tragic.
On the one hand, it can attract the attention of the police and create opportunities for companions hiding in the dark.
That's why Jager and Bo can become partners.
The two, one bright and one dark, work together seamlessly.
On the other hand, it brings greater shock and fear to the enemy.
There is appeasement.
We must also take drastic measures.
However, now Jaeger has already been commissioned by Lu Meng to help Hamt find clues to the whereabouts of his wife and daughter, and they are indeed not here.
however……
Chad is proficient in fighting and kicking, and has a stealth master as his companion...
Isn't it "Jeg"?
"How could this happen..." At this moment, the fear of having just escaped death surged into Shi Cha's heart, and a large area of his back was wet.
He never expected it.
He had unexpectedly encountered such a famous assassin, a wanted criminal of the empire.
And this is tantamount to a brush with death.
Su Cheng, who was guarding beside him, couldn't help but look solemn.
He had fought with the man in black, and as soon as the other party showed up, he hit the flaw in his sword.
Now that Su Cheng has untied his emotional knot and received guidance from Lu Meng, his original flaws have disappeared, and his sword moves are now round and integrated. If he were to face him again, it would be impossible for him to be defeated so easily.
But the warrior still admired the other party very much.
If he really is the wanted criminal, then his reputation is well-deserved.
Moreover, the previous doubts were dispelled.
After all, he was just seen through during the day and was defeated by an assassin at night... These two things are somewhat coincidental and make people think about it.
But if it was Jaeger...
In fact, neither of them knew the true strength of this anti-slavery fighter, but according to rumors, in addition to his excellent fists and feet, he was also good at killing people with a knife. After all, that was his job before he became an anti-slavery fighter.
It's normal that he can see through the warrior's flaws.
Only Lu Meng looked at their expressions and smiled without saying anything.
Jaeger has been an assassin and has been famous for a long time, while Chad has not yet been born and is not well-known... This time difference is really useful.
As for himself.
The sword fighting technique that Su Cheng is good at happens to be the machete type. With his current skill level that has reached [Peerless], he can see through the opponent's awkwardness and stagnation when swinging the sword and even give guidance. It is as easy as counting the number of fingers he has.
It's easy.
Today, even without the support of the achievement system, he can be considered a famous teacher in this field purely based on his realm and vision.
At this moment, the group gathered at the Skeleton Station again. Shi Cha wanted to know more information, while Lu Meng threw out the words he had prepared long ago, and took advantage of the terrifying status of anti-slavery people in the hearts of the merchants in the United City to deepen their sense of crisis again.
The plundering army, the north-south passage, the anti-slavery assassin, the wanted criminal...
Many crises are coming together.
It seems like a storm is coming.
The young noble, who had been quite capable before, now looked a little flustered, until his eyes met the gaze of the man sitting on the main seat.
Although the other party said this horrifying fact, his expression was much calmer.
His calmness infected Shi Cha.
Then, I heard:
"Don't be nervous. If you want to know why..."
"Because, we are here."
In that instant, Shi Cha's eyes almost filled with tears.
——My lord, you are simply a savior.
And he figured it out.
Indeed, the reason why the guild's second-level merchants appeared here must be because of these strange things.
But knowing that they took action is enough - if the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up.
All you need to do is hold your thighs tightly.
As a merchant who had just joined the guild, although Shi Cha's guild level had already reached the third-level franchise, this was only achieved by spending money. His accumulation and connections were far inferior to those of the old franchisees.
Shi Cha didn’t usually have the opportunity to come into contact with second-tier merchants like this gentleman… With him at the helm, it’s no wonder he could sense the value of beasts of burden in the future.
Thinking back to the beginning, I actually wanted to take food from the other party, which was a bit overestimating my own abilities.
Now we have to maintain good relations.
Do your best to meet the other person's needs.
Moreover, Shi Cha had a faint hope in his heart...
If you can use the other party's power.
The Shi family may have a real chance to rise in Kaidun City.
It’s a pity for my uncle.
Just chose the wrong answer.
……
outside the house.
The area next to the giant beast's skeleton should have been the most inconspicuous place.
Now a small tower of human heads has been erected.
Blood flowed from the neck of the warrior wearing the deer horn helmet and flowed down the stairs like bloody lava.
All were beheaded.
The visors of their deer antler helmets still had the standard Rakshasa ghost pattern, and the scene at this moment looked like their souls were returning to hell together.
Kaiton City is the capital of weapon forging. The quality of weapons and armor there is much higher than that of other city-states. Shi Cha originally wanted to take these warriors home and then change their armor, and he didn't like their original armor.
Stay here.
More like a warning.
"Boss, after they leave, should we..." A waiter approached Tang Darui and whispered while making a cleaning gesture.
Tang Darui glared at him.
But what the other party was pointing at was a tower of human heads made of skulls.
It looks so creepy.
The drifter rolled up a pile of dry cigarettes, lit it, took a deep breath, letting the warm, burning smoke roll in his lungs, and then slowly spoke:
"Keep it, and let other people who come and go know..."
"What should be done, and what should absolutely not be touched."
In the distance, the pack animals were arranged in battle formation.
All ready to go.
Not only were there no shepherds to control them, but even their bridles were loose.
However, everything is in order.
Tang Darui seemed to be thinking about something.
It was not until this time that a series of melodious bone flute sounds were heard again in the vast sky.
Like the clear chirping of a bird.
Just like when they first met.
Next stop, Depression Lagoon.
