The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 283 Another Piece

It is a very superior condition to be able to lead by half a month. You can do a lot of things by gaining this time.

After all, there is only one treasure, and there are many competitors. When I was in Yamen City, a large group of people made it clear that they accepted the task, and there must be many people who heard the news secretly.

The city lord of Yamen City doesn't mind who finds the zero, as long as it is given to him, anyone can do it. Naturally, it is first come first served.

There are so many peepers, it's no wonder that Desha said that she has no more appointments to repair the map here, and although it is impossible to completely block all other competitors by half a month ahead, at least it can distance itself from most of them.

The city lord of Yamen City summoned adventurers to look for Zero, and was attacked at the city lord's mansion that night. Of course Desha knew about such a big thing, and she made such a condition only after she recognized it.

Leticia thought about it for a while:
"We need to listen to the content of the entrustment before we can decide."

It’s good to be able to lead by half a month, but you can’t take everything, and adventurers have a bottom line, not to mention that now that Canso City is about to rain, if it gets involved in a power struggle at the top, it will be more troublesome and dangerous.

Disha shook her head lightly:
"It's a matter of great importance. If you don't plan to accept the mission, I can't tell you the content of the commission."

It seems that it is indeed something related to the upper-level turmoil, otherwise there is no need to be so taboo.

Alma said a compromise:

"We can sign a contract of silence, stipulating that we will not tell anyone else the content of the commission. It is impossible for us to accept the commission without knowing the details of the commission."

The so-called silent contract is actually the same magical contract as the team contract signed by Lin Tianci. Once signed, they must never be violated. The signing requires the sincere consent of both parties to the contract, otherwise it will not take effect no matter how forced it is.

It sounds pretty good, but this thing is not something that cats and dogs can make. Only magicians can make powerful magic contracts, and they need to be prepared in advance.

"Okay, I have no objection."

And Desha seemed to have predicted that they would say this, and happily took out a golden scroll.

Leticia and Alma looked at each other, and then looked at Mistrow again, as if they were asking for opinions from their teammates. The latter nodded slightly in agreement, and Kegel said directly with a loud voice:

"Elder sister's consent means I agree, and I will listen to elder sister."

As for Lin Tianci?He's almost finished eating the cake...

As a result, Leticia and Alma repeatedly confirmed the terms of the signed contract scroll, and finally stamped their fingerprints on behalf of the Four Dharma Kings' team below.

"Now, let's hear what kind of commission it is."

Disha gently stood up and said:
"First of all, I would like to apologize to everyone. A little toxin has been injected into your tea and cakes."

Mistrua's face changed, he made a gesture with his hand, and then said to everyone:

"It is indeed poisonous, not a very strong poison."

Although it is a bit of an afterthought, everyone is actually very vigilant. In a strange and uncertain place, no one eats the black tea and cakes delivered.

——Except for Lin Tianci.

So although Disha said this to everyone, she always looked at Lin Tianci who ate up the cake.

"Don't worry, it's just a joke, this friend won't be able to speak for at most two hours..."

Just like a slap in the face, Lin Tianci raised the plate without hesitation:

"Can I have another piece?"

"..."

In fact, when Lin Tianci just brought the cake to his mouth, he discovered that it was poisonous. He could even smell it as a kind of herbal toxin, and he almost tasted it no matter how it was prepared.

Lin Tianci saw that no one else had any plans to eat, so he didn't remind him, and he ate first.

The monks are a bunch of ruthless people who eat arsenic as a meal and are fine. It is an exaggeration to say that the monks all have the ability of "invulnerability to a hundred poisons". The condiments were similar. To be honest, he felt that the cake with this toxin tasted better.

But what Desha said, the level of poison as a joke is not true.

To cast a spell, a mage needs to cooperate with incantations and gestures, both of which are indispensable, and in the team, even if Lin Tianci is not counted, there are three magicians, which are the main combat power in the team.

And this kind of toxin will make people unable to speak for two hours, so targeted, it's just a joke, do you believe it?

Mages don't have the ability of monks to be invulnerable to all poisons. They are just ordinary mortals. If they lose the power to use spells, mages are not as good as farmers who usually use hoes.

——Although Leticia may have to be excluded.

Disha's face froze a little, but her good surface skills quickly brought her back to normal, and she signaled with her eyes to the maid standing by the dining car to serve him another piece of cake.

"I apologize for the act of poisoning, and I will add my apology for the remuneration after commissioning. This gentleman has a very oriental face, and he is from Eastern China?"

Alma said first:
"Is my teammate from Eastern China related to the entrustment?"

Disa shrugged:

"Nothing, just curious."

After all, the White Hands Association's main business is selling information. The monks and Eastern China are a completely unknown area for the White Hands Association, but why give them information for nothing?

"Since you don't want to disclose, let's continue to talk about business."

With that said, Desha sat down again and said:

"Do you want to hear all the commission details or just the commission process that you need to do?"

"Of course it's the latter."

There is no need to think about it at all. This is not listening to bards' nonsense in a tavern. Such a cautious commission will inevitably involve a lot of trouble and trouble. As long as the adventurer knows what he is going to do and at the same time guarantees that he will not be sold, it will be fine. There is no need to understand so clearly.

"It's very cautious, but it doesn't matter."

She continued:

"In the new urban area, there is an underground auction house that exists almost publicly. I think you should know about it."

Except for the outsider Lin Tianci, others have indeed heard of it. It is an underground auction house where you can find everything from beautiful slaves to the rarest medicinal materials. It is very powerful.

Because Canso City had abolished slavery a long time ago, the auction of slaves is of course illegal, but it exists almost in a semi-public manner. Such a positive provocation of the law is of course backed by someone behind it.

"Recently, an auction is about to be held. At that time, the number two person in the auction house will appear in the auction house. Your task is to catch him. I need to know who is behind him."

Disha took out a small scroll from her collar, or simply from her cleavage, and unfolded it on the table. With a touch, a half-body magic image of a person stood on the table, which should be the so-called target.

"This guy is not a good person at first glance."

Kegel complained bluntly.

Indeed, with an aquiline nose + roguish eyebrows and mouse eyes, and a long scar on his face, he doesn't look like a good person no matter what.

While one shouldn't judge a book by its cover, good people obviously don't run an underground slave auction.

"After you succeed, I will arrange for someone to respond nearby, and you don't need to bring it back here."

Redicia said:
"As far as I know, an invitation letter is required to enter the auction house."

After all, it is an underground auction house, even if it exists semi-publicly, not everyone can enter it.

Since Desha said so, she must have prepared it long ago. She said:

"We will prepare a forged invitation letter for you. It is not a problem to enter the auction house, but if Ms. Redicia from the Fanny Chamber of Commerce and Ms. Alma from the Cooks family are willing to enter with their family identities, then it will be even more difficult. Easy."

The two girls rolled their eyes one after another, the meaning was very clear, don't even think about it.

Mystra looked at the target in the magic image and said:
"As far as I know, the intelligence agents of the White Hands Association are almost everywhere. They are just investigating who is behind the scenes of an underground auction house. As the area leader, Ms. Desha, you don't need to entrust adventurers."

"It's true that with this level of intelligence, as long as you can use the power of the association, you can get results within a few minutes, but if I do this, it will be another regional leader who will appear in front of you now."

Information has always been very important and valuable, and the White Hands Association is also very aware of how powerful it is. If it is misused, the consequences will be unimaginable, and the entire association will become a target of public criticism.

Therefore, there are strict restrictions on members within the White Hands Association, and the power of the association must not be used for one's own selfishness.

But this also shows that the work of investigating the boss behind the underground auction site is not an order issued by the White Hands Association, but from other organizations, which also proves that apart from the identity of the head of the White Hands Association, Desha also works for other people .

This is not uncommon within the White Hands Association, and they do not prohibit members from taking part-time jobs, as long as they abide by the rules of the association.

"After catching someone, I may need you to do a little favor. Of course, it will not exceed your ability, and it will not make you feel embarrassed. It depends on how much information the captured person can spit out. Come."

Alma heard that Disha still had a commission, and asked:
"How much time will it take in total, you also know that we are in a hurry."

"I can guarantee that regardless of whether the commission is successful or not, you will be able to board the passenger ship to Ogaadut with the repaired map tomorrow morning, and if additional commissions are required, I will also provide additional ones that satisfy you. remuneration."

Regardless of the remuneration or the process, Desa has made predictions about all the details for them, so that they can take over the job.

Alma, Redicia and Mystra once again made eye contact for a while, and finally Redicia made a decision:
"We are willing to accept the entrustment, take out the magic contract."

No matter how you think about it, it is an entrustment related to the upper echelon of Canso City. Whether it is for not leaking secrets or for insurance to prevent people from killing people, a magic contract is absolutely necessary.

Desha is also very aware of this point. There is a magic contract, which can make people who don't know each other temporarily trust each other. This is also the relationship between the magic contract that is particularly valuable, but still has a high usage rate.

And our protagonist Lin Tianci?
—He has almost eaten all the cakes in the dining car...
