MTL - Heroes of the Invincible Undead-Chapter 30 Thieves Guild II
After coming to the Thieves Guild, Rod intended to quickly ask his own questions and obtain some key intelligence, but after seeing the posture posed by the Thieves Guild, Rod changed his plan.
Rhode moved the parchment from the middle of the table to his own, wrote "Cruolder's situation" on it, and then pushed the parchment to the old man on the opposite side.
The old man took the quill pen in front of him and quickly wrote on the parchment paper, and then slowly pushed the paper towards Rhodes with his hands.
Rod took it and looked at the parchment, which read "The Return of the Hero, 3".
The experience of the previous life made Rod understand that the first half of the parchment is the answer to his own question, and the numbers written in the back are the total coins that Rod needs to pay.
The Thieves’ Guild guarantees that the information it sells is correct, but only provides a little information at a time. If you want to know more and more detailed information, you need to spend a lot of gold coins to ask multiple times.
Rhode believed in the credibility of the Thieves’ Guild and would not easily sell some unconfirmed intelligence. Looking at the answer written by the old man, Rod fell into thought.
Rod’s purpose in asking this question is to use it to confirm his game period.
According to Rod’s memory, when the game was just entered in the previous life, the game’s first expansion piece [Ruins of the God of War], tells about the savage leader Tanan of Kruod, after getting the artifact ban magic ball, against Bra Battle of the Kada Master.
Seeing this passage written by the old man, Rod had certain ideas about his period, but he was afraid to fully confirm it.
Rod took a pen, wrote "the name of the hero" on the paper, and then handed the parchment to the old man.
The old man took the parchment and wrote "Tanan, 5" on it.
Just the name of a hero is worth 2 gold coins, which is the value that intelligence can bring. Rhode knows that this is not expensive. If you want to know the general combat ability of a hero, you need to pay more gold coins.
Seeing this name, Rod also fully determined the period he was in, which was just the beginning of the game, the early stage of the first expansion.
Previously, when he got the pendant of Ellot, Rod had such a hunch that he might have returned to the beginning of the game, that is, the stage where all players have just entered the game, but Rod was not sure.
At this time, after inquiring, although only piecemeal information was obtained, based on the gaming experience of the previous life, Rod had completely determined that he did come to the early stage of the first expansion.
In this stage, the hero Tanan has just completed his adventures on the mainland, took all his treasures, returned to his hometown of Krulot, and began to integrate all the barbaric tribes of Krulot, accumulating strength to fight Mage of Bracada.
This is the meaning of "The Return of the Hero" written by the old man.
Quickly thinking about the other content of the first expansion in his mind, Rhode then wrote on the parchment paper "Freelance Chamber of Commerce, Born Hero".
Rhode asked this question in order to obtain some information about his soul mission. According to the record on the map, the former Ellott was in the city's freelance chamber of commerce, selling Rowling.
The old man took the parchment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then wrote "have been transferred, 10" on the paper.
Generally speaking, what freelance business associations want to do can’t hide the thieves’ guild in the same city. The Thieves Guild's sale of intelligence from the Freelance Chamber of Commerce also led to the war between the two major forces in the later period.
The old man deliberately wrote only a few short words. If Rhode especially wants to understand the situation, he will inevitably continue to ask questions, which will cost Rhode more coins.
Rhode did not care about the old man's means, but wrote "transfer destination" on the paper.
After receiving the parchment, the old man did not directly write the answers to the questions on the paper, but glanced at Rhodes.
Rhode understood the old man's meaning, but the news was more secret than the previous news, and it was also more valuable. I was afraid that Rhode wouldn't be able to take out so many gold coins.
Rod nodded at the old man. The old man quickly wrote down the message after receiving the signal from Rod, and returned the parchment to Rod.
Rhodes looked down and said, "The City of Sorrow, 60".
Just a place name requires 50 gold coins, far exceeding all previous news. It’s just a place name, which is certainly not worth such a high price, but under Rhode’s problem, it has a high value. This is the benefit that intelligence can bring together.
Perhaps due to location, the information of the freelance chamber of commerce in a city is obviously more expensive than Krulot on the other side of the continent. If it were not for Rod from Ellot’s space ring Obtained thousands of gold coins, so even paying for the news is a problem.
As for not paying the bill after asking the news, Rod had never thought of forcibly leaving by force. Those who did this in the previous life were all wanted by the Thieves Guild.
High bounty, coupled with detailed information provided by the Thieves Guild, many high-level assassins will choose to take on such tasks.
At this moment, the news in memory flashed by. Rod seemed to think of something. He drew a symbol on the parchment, then wrote "meaning, place" on the paper, and then pushed the parchment toward the old man on the opposite side.
This symbol comes from Ellot's coat of arms in the space ring, and Rod also saw this symbol in Ellot's magic book.
Receiving the parchment handed back by the old man, Rhode saw the answers to his two questions above "Black Raven Undead Spell Academy, 62", "Diya, City of Sorrow, 65".
As if to tell Rod the value of each answer, the old man marked the gold coins to be paid after each answer. But Rhode's attention is obviously not on this, but on that place name, the city of mourning.
Looking at the place name that appeared twice, but at a completely different price, Rod fell into deep thinking.
What happened in the first expansion, the identity of the Necromancer, the city of mourning, the mission of the soul...
The old man on the opposite side also saw Rod's thinking. Without any urging, he put his hands back in front of him, waiting for Rod's next inquiry.
It didn’t take long for Rhode to finish his thoughts, dived his hands into his arms, took out the 100 gold coins that were previously packed in a bag from the space ring, and quickly distributed 65 gold coins in front of the old man’s face. Put it on the table.
Then, according to the practice of the quiet room inquiry, Rhode put the parchment in his pocket and walked out.
Outside the door, the previous waiters are still waiting here, preparing to lead Rod to the lobby of the Thieves Guild.
The old man stayed in the quiet room, swept his hand, the gold coins disappeared, and then took a new piece of parchment paper from a dark cell under the table, waiting for the next guest who came to ask.
