Quenched long order

Chapter 5
Saul returned to the house, he touched his pocket, but did not find the key.He looked around, walked to the bed, and picked up the pillow. There was no key under the pillow. Then, he groped on the bed with his hands, trying to find a trace of hardness in the soft touch.

Still nothing.

He frowned slightly, and turned his head to the cabinet. He squatted down and took a look, and then looked at the back of the cabinet from the side. He found that the back of the cabinet was not close to the wall, but there was a very obvious gap.

"Will it be here?"

In order to verify his guess, he tried to move the cabinet away, but found that the cabinet was fixed to the side of the bed, and it was difficult to move it unless he had a suitable tool in hand, so he directly stretched his hand into the gap, and after groping left and right, he felt a hard and cold touch. He immediately held it, and felt a slight tingling sensation in the palm of his hand.

"found it……"

Saul took out the key, opened it with his right hand, and let the key lie quietly in his palm. It was a black key, and the handle seemed to be slightly discolored due to long-term use.

"Are you ready?" Regis' urging voice came from outside the door, revealing impatience in the voice.

"Okay!" Sauer immediately unlocked the cabinet. Inside the cabinet, there was a small stack of banknotes, and above the banknotes, there was a small sack. He picked up the sack, and there was a slight collision sound inside the sack. He unwrapped the rope, took a look, and found that there were some bean-sized ores inside, red, green, and golden. However, these ores had obvious impurities, and their value did not seem to be high.

He took out the banknotes again. The banknotes were very rough, very thin, and the overall color was gray. On the surface of the banknotes, there was an imprint of an island pattern. On the back, there was a number 10 occupying half of the page. He turned over a few more banknotes, and there were 50, 100 numbers, and the pattern on the banknotes was also slightly different.

Since he didn't know how much it would cost to save Garland, and he didn't have time to count, he took all the banknotes and ores with him, stood up, turned and left the room.

Outside the door, Regis and Kerry were ready.

"Why so slow?" Regis looked at Saul with dark eyes, as if he wanted to see through the latter's heart.

"Then... that, don't talk about that, Garland is still waiting for us... let's go." Kerry moved his eyes back and forth between the two, and he tightly held the package straddling his back in front of him with both hands.

"Yeah, let's go." Saul didn't look at Regis, nor did he explain the reason. He didn't think he was revealing his secrets. It was more like Saul himself had conflicts with Regis before. Even if the real Sauer came, the result would be the same.

Regis snorted coldly, turned around and walked out along the path. Seeing this, Kerry trotted all the way to keep up, and the shadows of the two of them stretched under the setting sun.

Sauer took a right foot, and at the same time he already had a judgment in his mind.

It seems... Saul had conflicts with Regis before, so I just need to avoid contact with him as much as possible. As for Kerry, his personality is very simple, but this kind of person is more sensitive to changes in the people around him, and can even detect abnormalities in details. Instead, I have to be more careful when contacting Kerry.

He looked at the two people who were gradually going away, and before the two turned their heads to urge him, he quickened his pace to keep up with them.

On the way, some of the vague memories in the cave gradually became clear, and the content was about the currency system of the island.Since the island is a closed environment, the wages paid by the miners are not the common currency, but the special banknotes in the island. Apart from the basic salary, the extra income of the miners is mainly some raw gemstones dug during the mining process, such as the ore stored in the Sauer sack. These ores can be exchanged on the street for special banknotes in the island.

After walking through the quiet path, noises, cheers and booing came faintly from ahead.

Shaoer couldn't help speeding up his pace. As the grass on both sides gradually thinned out, the road under his feet became wider, until he completely walked out of the trail, and a lively and bustling market appeared in front of him, and the market was crowded with people.

The trading market on Stewart Island is called "street" by people on the island. It has an oval shape as a whole and is mainly divided into three areas: the outer side, the inner side, and the island garrison. The goods on the outer side can meet most of the needs of the islanders. The inner side is a casino and some other entertainment items. As for the garrison island, it is a separate area for it. The scope is not large.

The information above comes naturally to my mind.

Sauer closed his eyes and went through the information in his mind, and got a general understanding of the situation on Stewart Island.Like the market, the entire island is divided into three parts. The topmost and highest-status personnel are naturally the garrison corps; the second is the market personnel. For these people, Stewart Island is just a slightly special trading place; the lowest status and the largest number are miners who earn meager income in dangerous mines.

"I'll negotiate later, don't talk casually." Regis turned back to stare at Saul, his dark eyes full of distrust.

Saul withdrew his thoughts and nodded slightly. Regis' thoughts were exactly what he wanted. It is the best way to keep a low profile until he fully understands the situation around him.

"I see, Regis, I will take care of myself." Kerry raised his left hand to cover his mouth as if to prove that he had fully understood.

Regis looked at Kerry and smiled, reached out and stroked Kerry's blond hair, and then said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, I promise Garland will be fine."

"Yeah!" Kerry replied with a smile, looking at Regis with a little admiration in his clear eyes.

Regis withdrew his right hand, "Let's go, hurry up." He and Kerry walked to the trading market together.

Seeing this scene, Saul was thoughtful. He took a deep breath, exhaled lightly, stepped out with his right foot, and followed the footsteps of the two.

There were four guards at the entrance of the trading market. The guards chatted in pairs, and did not pay attention to the people entering and leaving the market. When the three entered the market, they did not attract any attention from the guards. However, this was in line with Sauer's thinking.

As soon as he entered the market, the strong aroma of scones wafted into Shaoer's nose. He glanced left and right, and saw that the merchants on both sides were trying to sell their food to the miners entering and leaving the market.

Regis ignored these merchants and walked directly along the road on the right. Saul immediately followed. Not long after, a door leading to the inside of the market appeared in front of him. It is more appropriate to call it two stone pillars than a door. On both sides of the stone pillars, there are also four guards standing.
