Teyvat: The road to becoming a god begins in the desert

"Ok?"

After listening to the story, Rhode did not immediately confirm Dolly's identity. Instead, he continued to question, "How can you prove that you are Master Sangge Mahabayi? Just by your mouth? And why would Master Sangge Mahabayi run to such a small stall and sell things on the street like an unidentified peddler?"

Then, he narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice slightly: "Besides, since Mr. Sange Mahabhai is a person engaged in that kind of business, how could he casually reveal his identity in front of two strangers like us? Humph? , I have been looking here for a long time. You did not tell anyone else this name, but you only told me this name. What? Do you think I am a stranger and can be easily deceived? Disiya, let’s go. No deal with this liar."

After saying that, Rhodes turned around and left without looking back, but Desiya was still standing there, looking left and right, not knowing what to say.

However, such doubts did not change Dolly's expression much.

She still maintained a smiling look, stopped in front of Rhodes who was about to leave, and said with a sly look in her eyes: "Guest, don't worry, I see that you are Asher's old customers, so I am willing to tell you what I am." Name, besides, you are quite alert with your large and small bags of contraband. Even if you are not a desperado, you must have done a lot of sneaky things. Such people are here with Master Sange Mahabhai, but The best customer yet.”

Large and small packages of contraband.

These words touched Disiya's sensitive nerves.

The place where she and Rhodes were staying now was the territory of the Order. If these words were heard by the thirty-man patrol, there would be big trouble.

"Don't worry, guest, I don't have the habit of reporting my guests."

Seeing Disiya's expression change, Dolly waved her hand: "The guests haven't said anything yet? What products do you want? Whether it's canned knowledge or other things, as long as you ask, Mora will be delivered to me. I guarantee I can get it for you.”

Since he came to Dolly on his own initiative, Rhodes had naturally already thought about what he wanted.

Those words just now were just to lower Dolly's vigilance.

Now is the right time.

Rhodes grinned: "You said you are Master Sange Mahabhai, which is just right. I was planning to discuss a business deal with Master Sange Mahabhai. In order to confirm your identity, shouldn't you say something?" Like, give me a moola?"

As soon as these words came out.

Dolly finally stopped laughing and her face became extremely serious.

Rhodes was the first person to ask for mola from the famous Sangge Mahabhai!

Chapter 32 A small investment

Rhodes wants to discuss business with him?

After getting over the shock of being asked for money on the street, Dolly's first reaction was to look at the backpack that Rhodes carried with her.

There is a lot of contraband there.

Thanks to the experience of being in the lower class society for many years.

The amount of contraband that Dolly handles personally can be described as massive.

No need to use eyes to see.

Just by relying on the faint smell, she could roughly tell what contraband Rhodes and Disia had brought.

"Does the customer want to sell those things you have?"

Not only Dolly, but Desiya also thinks so.

If anything, she and Rod had something valuable enough to negotiate business with a big businessman like Dolly.

That must be the animal and plant specimens collected by Rhodes.

Then there is the "Rainforest Biology Illustrated Book" with annotations by Tinari, a top student of the Biophysics School.

However, Disiya is not optimistic about this business.

She was not worried that Dolly would not accept the business, but that she felt that even if they sold the things they had, they wouldn't be able to fetch much money.

In Sumeru.

The most valuable thing is undoubtedly knowledge.

in other words.

The most valuable thing in Rhode's hand is the "Rainforest Biological Illustrated Book". According to Desiya's eyes, it can be sold for tens of thousands of molars at least.

This kind of book, which is regarded as a textbook by the Order Council, is not worth much money.

What is important is Tinari’s notes inside.

Those are the most precious knowledge, and it will definitely be robbed by others if placed in the Teaching Academy.

But there was absolutely no way Rhodes could sell this book.

Desiya believed that her vision was not wrong.

In her opinion, even if Rhodes was so poor that he had no money to eat, he would not sell this book.

Well except for this book.

Is there anything else valuable on Rhodes?

Those animal and plant samples collected from the rainforest area?

Stop it.

In Xumi, the most valuable things are those things.

The rainforest area is full of poisonous insects and beasts. Unless Rhodes collects that rare species, it is possible to sell it at a high price.

Unfortunately.

Those collected by Rhodes, if Desiya read it correctly, are basically common poisons on the market. Even if Dolly is willing to accept them, they probably won't be sold at a high price.

However, Rod's answer surprised both her and Dolly.

"I still have use for these things. What I want to do with you is another business."

Rod and Dolly looked at each other and said, "But before we talk about business, can you prove your identity to me? After all, the prerequisite for doing business is that both parties have to gain enough trust, right? Dolly... Sange Mahabhai, sir?”

Rod emphasized Dolly's name, and then rubbed his fingers, his intention was obvious.

If you want to prove your identity, pay for it.

Unless he gets a 1.8 million Moura and puts it in front of Rhodes, he won't believe that the person in front of him is Dolly.

"."

This is the first time Dolly has encountered such a difficult customer.

There had never been a time before when she revealed her identity, and the customer immediately took the initiative to do business with her.

But Dolly was not angry, but waved at Rod and Desiya with a playful expression.

"Come on, don't you want me to prove my identity?"

"I fulfill your request."

After saying that, she turned around and walked towards a house on the street with her hands behind her back.

Desiya hesitated.

Rhodes quickly followed Dolly decisively.

Seeing that he was gone, Desiya had to follow him.

"Hey, Rod."

Walking to Rhodes, Desiya tugged on his clothes and whispered: "She seems to be the real Sangge Mahabhai."

"I know." Rhodes replied.

"Aha?"

Desiya paused.

Rhodes also stopped and explained to her confidently: "Didn't you tell me that this is where the smugglers from Kawanyi gather? And Master Sangge Mahabayi is the breadwinner of these smugglers."

"Now, look."

"She is openly hawking in a group of smugglers, so obviously stealing everyone's business, but no one dares to come out and make irresponsible remarks, and no one questions her claim to be Lord Sange Mahabhai."

"So, there is more than a 90% chance that she is Lord Sange Mahabhai himself."

Rhodes' analysis is sound and well-founded.

This was the most convincing inference he could make without revealing that he already knew Dolly's identity.

The effect is also very good.

Desiya did believe him.

same.

Disiya is also very angry now.

If she hadn't been concerned that this was a downtown area, she would have exploded on the spot.

"You know clearly that she is Sange Mahabhai, but you still offend her?"

That's how angry Desiya was.

This was also the first time she spoke to Rhodes in such a tone.

Dolly Sange Mahabhai is no small person.

She knows both black and white. As long as she opens her mouth, there will definitely be many people willing to accept the commission to kill Rhodes in order to please her.

Unless Rhodes stays in Aru Village for the rest of his life.

"I didn't offend her."

Rhodes, who was scolded by Disiya, innocently spread his hands and said: "At first, I was really not sure that she was Master Sangge Mahabhai, so I used these words to test her tone, so as to confirm her. identity, and look, she’s not angry.”

"Really?"

Desiya frowned and asked doubtfully.

This explanation is quite reasonable.

Dolly didn't seem angry at all, she was just arguing with Rhodes.

"Yeah, really."

Rhodes nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, I'll trust you again."

Although she still felt like something was wrong, Desiya decided to trust Rhodes again.

As the eldest sister in the underworld of Kavanyi.

The house Dolly took Rod and the others to was definitely not comparable to Asher's small shabby house.

This is an ordinary mansion on the outside but luxurious on the inside.

Before Dolly could enter, a guard stood at attention and saluted her.

The waiter inside the door also respectfully offered warm water and hot towels for washing hands and wiping faces.

Seeing this situation, Desiya felt anxious again.

The strength of the guards here is no less than that of the offices stationed here by the Imperial Academy.

Plus the title of 'Welcome home, master' from the waiters' mouth.

Everything confirms Dolly's identity.

Silent all the way.

The three of them arrived at a room.

After closing the door, Dolly put her hands on her hips and stared at Rhodes: "Okay, can I confirm my identity now?"

The way she looks now, she doesn't look like the mafia boss that Disiya was worried about. Instead, she looks more like a angry little girl next door.

They were in an ordinary room.

Apart from the luxurious decoration, there is nothing special about it.

There were no piles of mora or warehouses containing various rare items that Rhodes asked to see.

But this time Rhodes didn't mess around anymore. He put his right hand on his chest and bowed slightly: "I'm sorry for what happened before. Master Sange Mahabhai. I admit that it was my mistake to question you."

This is the etiquette of desert people when they apologize to others.

The right hand touches the chest, representing the most sincere apology.

"Hmph, that's pretty much it."
