Chapter 87 Witness

Shuuer was talking about another corner, where eight people were sitting around on the sofa. They were both men and women. Most of them were wearing hats, and the brim of their hats was very low. Only two of them looked like they were warriors. The person showed his face without worrying about being seen.

One of them was sitting in the front, holding a strange metal square box in his hand. While putting several different items into the box, he was explaining something in a low voice to the other seven people. The other seven people listened very attentively, and even shouted from time to time. Take a pen and write it down.

Not only those seven people, there was also a waiter dressed as a waiter standing nearby, who was also listening to the explanation attentively, as if he was also interested in this item.

"It's not like that, he is just interested in this item." Shuer explained softly, "The boss here also likes to buy some cheap otherworldly items to decorate this tavern. Look at the surrounding environment, don't you think Is this pub weird?"

"Yeah, a style I've never seen before." Lisa nodded, "Brother, do you know where it comes from?"

"I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I heard that in a projection from another world, the tavern has a similar style." Shuer glanced at the paintings on the wall and sighed, "The Shadow Chasers are actually I really like taverns with styles from different worlds, so most similar places are decorated to look like other worlds. This one is what you see, while the Shadow Chaser’s House in the Rose City has been turned into a strange place. There is a garden with a fountain and a rockery in the middle. The private rooms are all made of wood and are connected by corridors. Xiaolu, your place in McCartney is similar."

"That's a tree house over there. It was built by hollowing out the trunk of a giant tree." Moria nodded in agreement, "It's very elf-like. Some people even suspect that there are elves in other worlds."

"Well, that's right. The Shadow Chaser's house always spares no effort to decorate it like in the projection from another world. Most of them use the trophies brought back from the projection. For example, the musical instrument you just stared at for a long time, we Call it the black and white harpsichord, which appeared more than 40 years ago. Of course, the original sample was definitely not brought out. It was too big and it was impossible to bring it out, but the design idea was brought out, and it took more than ten years to make it. I came out with a sample and the boss here bought it back at a high price."

"More than 40 years ago? Then why haven't I seen him outside?" Lisa asked curiously.

"Due to the failure of promotion, the sound of this instrument was different from the local instruments in Parvatiga, so it was difficult to be accepted by the public. After persisting for a few years, the investing businessman went bankrupt, and the black and white harpsichord was no longer produced. Now What you see should be one of the few products.”

"In addition to these items, even wine, we also like drinks in the projection world. Look at the wine cabinet behind the bartender. At least one-fifth of it comes from projections from other worlds, with various flavors and concentrations. I I even tasted a glass of visually colorless and transparent spirit with an extremely spicy taste. The concentration definitely stabilized the local alcoholic beverage of Parvatiga. And the placement of the glasses, do you feel that this is different from Parvatiga? No difference? That’s right, because it’s really convenient to put it this way, so everyone followed suit and it became like this.”

"It's really interesting." Lisa stared at the waiter for a long time, "I want to try it too."

"I'm underage, don't even think about it." Lisa knocked on her head, "But it's okay for us to go over and have a look. We have to go there anyway."

Just as they were told, the four of them quickly approached the bar. The waiter who was wiping the dishes looked up and saw a group of people standing in front of him. He was startled and only felt relieved when he saw Shuer.

"I thought it was those guys who came in to explore the secrets again." After the four people walked in, the waiter complained to Shuer with a grimace, "Since Holyfield from the Temple of Fortune came over last time, the surrounding neighbors They are becoming more and more curious, often trying to sneak in to see what’s new, and I don’t know where they get such curiosity.”

"The Lord said that curiosity is the most precious wealth bestowed by the gods on intelligent creatures. Only with curiosity can the world continue to develop." Shuer said with a holy look, "So don't blame them for being curious, because that They are indispensable to every living person. They won’t have much impact anyway, and your curiosity will fade away after a while, so don’t worry.”

"Eh? Really?" Moria shook her hair out of habit and said with bright eyes, "Then I..."

"You are an exception." Shuer rolled his eyes, "That's not curiosity, it's excessive curiosity."

"Hehe, as expected of a clergyman, you are still so good at comforting people." The waiter at the bar nodded and said, "Long time no see, Mr. Wright. It's a pleasure to see you again."

"With the blessing of the Lord, I will be fearless. There will be many opportunities to meet in the future. Boss Kafli, I bless you in the name of the Lord, a pursuer of honesty and credibility."

The waiter at the bar, the tavern owner Caffrey, was not entirely polite. In fact, it is not always possible to see the same shadow chaser again.In the unfamiliar alien world, the situation changes rapidly, and even the strongest people may die inexplicably, just like the last encounter of Shuer's team.Therefore, it is a blessing for both parties to meet again.

"These are your teammates, Mr. Wright. It's my first time to meet you. I'm honored to meet three beautiful ladies. I hope the three of you can find your own fun in my tavern." He skillfully prepared three colorful drinks. , handed it to the three ladies one by one, "This is my little thought, I hope you three won't refuse."

Looking eagerly at the beautiful wine in the glass, Lisa secretly observed Shuer's expression. "Oh, it's okay, just drink it." He ruffled the girl's blond hair and said with a smile, "Mr. Kafry is a very meticulous person, and the glass given to you must be juice."

"Mr. Wright still understands me." Caffrey chuckled with satisfaction, "You spent five gold coins to come back this time. You must be making some moves again. Do you need my help?"

"A friend introduced me to a business." Xiuer walked slowly to the notice board and looked at it. He took off a piece of paper and came back and said, "This should be it."

"Well, it turns out it's her. Why should the matter between the gods' servants be resolved through me? Why don't you two negotiate directly in the temple?"

"Haha, Mr. Caffrey doesn't sound like a qualified businessman when he says this." Shuer shook the money bag in his hand, "We trade through you, and you can at least draw a commission of fifty gold coins from both sides. Which one?" Merchants will push door-to-door business out just like you.”

"I'm not a businessman. I'm just a poor person who is curious about the world of projection, but can't personally participate in it. I can only envy him from the sidelines." Kafry sighed in a low voice, "Actually, I think it's too much. The three-thirds commission is too high, but since the rules have been established, it is not easy to change."

"The height is indeed a bit high, but having a peripheral priest from the God of Contract as a witness is a psychological comfort to both of us. At least we don't have to doubt each other."

Yes, the tavern owner Caffrey is not a believer in Dionysus.His ancestors had believed in the God of Dionysus for generations, but in his generation, they changed to believe in the God of Contract and became a peripheral clergyman of the God of Contract.

In fact, most of the operators of the Shadow Chaser House are peripheral clergymen of the God of Contract. Only with this status can they gain the trust of the sensitive and suspicious Shadow Chasers.

The God of Contract is an impersonal god and the defender of the contract. His clergy, whether they are the core clergy in the temple or the peripheral clergy among the people, can serve as witnesses and represent the contract. God witnesses the covenant.With his testimony, even powerful people would not dare to break the contract casually. It is indeed a very reliable insurance.

However, no matter what, fifty gold coins was too much, and the three ladies could hear Shuer's inner cry.

"The lady also said so before. Since Mr. Wright insists on it, I will no longer shirk it." With a reserved smile, Caffrey nodded smoothly, "Please sign this contract."

There were only a few lines in the thin contract, but Shuer read it very carefully. The experience in his hometown made him know how to set traps in the contract, so he would never let go of any word in July.

The contract was written very simply. It was nothing more than Shuer entrusting Kafli to serve as a witness to the transaction. If the transaction was negotiated and successfully completed, Kafli could receive [-]% of the total transaction reward, with a maximum of no more than [-] and a minimum of no more than [-] yuan. The commission is less than fifty gold coins. If the transaction fails or partially fails, the proportion will be calculated based on the actual income. It will also not be less than fifty gold coins. If the transaction is not negotiated at all, there is no need to pay commission.

After reading it several times, Xiuer finally signed his name. The moment he signed, a phantom of a seal appeared above the contract and hit it, leaving an invisible mark.

"Thank you for your patronage." Caffrey rolled up the contract and handed it to Shuer. "Then, the trust is established. From now on, I will be the witness."

"This is a commission of two hundred gold coins." Xiure reluctantly pushed the money bag over in exchange for the contract, "If it's too much, you have to refund it."

"Priest Wright." Kafry said with a strange expression, "With your temper, if I guess correctly, here should be... 190 five gold coins."

"Ahem, is that so? Hahaha, by the way, I forgot to take out the five gold coins to pay the entrance fee." Shuer looked around and said with a dry smile, "It doesn't matter, just record the 190 five gold coins first. Retreat more and make up less, withdraw more and make up less.”

"Okay, as you wish." Kafry said with a half-smile, "I have contacted the client for you. Please wait here. She is in the Temple of Gods and will be here soon."
