In the reception hall of the Sauron Chamber of Commerce.
A young black-haired noble, accompanied by a red-haired follower, stood in the hall and admired the murals hanging on the wall.
The murals depicted a knight wearing armor and holding a long spear. His eyes were sharp and his appearance was majestic.
"This style is so cool …"
The red-haired follower looked at the knight on the mural with eyes full of envy.
The black-haired noble noticed the name on the mural:
"Sauron …"
Hearing his words, the follower was slightly taken aback.
"Brother Mu, do you understand the words in this game?"
The black-haired noble shook his head.
"I didn't understand at first, but after the version update, I found that the system settings can adjust these words to Chinese."
The red-haired follower was speechless.
The noble and the follower were naturally Li Mu and Demacia in disguise.
After discussing with the other players, they immediately went to the Sauron Chamber of Commerce's residence according to the address given by Anders.
Of course, at this moment, the identities of the two changed slightly.
Among them, Li Mu pretended to be a young noble from the south, and Demacia was his butler.
The reason for doing this was simple.
Demacia was good at fooling people, but he always gave people the feeling that he was not steady.
Some temperament … was really engraved in his bones. If he pretended to be a noble, he would be exposed instantly.
On the other hand, Li Mu was much more steady. Although he did not know what a noble looked like, he was still better than Demacia.
In short, silence was golden.
So … after the two discussed, one pretended to be a noble, and the other pretended to be a butler. Demacia would do the work of scamming the NPCs, and Li Mu's task was to stabilize the other party and pretend to be a boss.
As for the rest, it was up to Demacia.
As for Li Mu being able to understand the common language, it had to start with this version update.
Although there was no explanation in the update log, in order to make it easier for players to communicate with the native NPCs, Eve had added a translation function to the game system.
If necessary, players could directly translate the text into Chinese.
Of course, this ability was only one-way. The Chinese written by the players could not be converted into the language of the Segers world.
"The one hanging on the wall is our clan's Lord Patriarch."
Just as the two of them were chatting in low voices, a burst of hearty laughter suddenly came from behind them.
Li Mu and Shi Mu's hearts skipped a beat. They turned around without batting an eyelid.
Behind them stood a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes and a wig.
He had a beaming smile on his face and was very good-natured. He was like an amiable elder. Beside him stood a respectful attendant.
The middle-aged man was Cage, the head of the Sauron Chamber of Commerce.
When he saw Li Mu and his companion, he could tell at first glance that there was something unusual about them.
Black Iron upper rank!
His heart couldn't help but beat violently.
Both of them were so young, yet they had already reached the upper level of Dark Iron!
It seemed that … he was indeed a noble from the south.
This kind of strength was not something that ordinary civilians could achieve. Furthermore …
Cage's gaze paused slightly on the two of them.
As the head of the Chamber of Commerce, he knew a lot of information.
The two of them, even the young man dressed as an attendant, were wearing a style that was quite popular among the nobles of the Kingdom of Iris in the south.
This kind of clothing was extremely expensive. Their Chamber of Commerce was still reselling it a few months ago.
They were nobles, and they were rich nobles!
Cage made a further judgment in his mind.
However, when he noticed that although the two of them hid it very well, there was still a trace of cautiousness, as well as the lack of a noble's temperament in their actions, he made a further judgment of their identities …
They were not great nobles, and their family education might not be very good. They were very likely to be the typical nouveau riche nobles of the Kingdom of Iris.
This kind of nobles … had always been very shallow.
Thinking of this, Cage's smile became even more good-natured.
While Cage was sizing up the two of them, the two of them were sizing up Cage as well.
Cage didn't hide his professional aura.
Therefore, when the two of them saw him at first glance, they roughly judged that he was a mid-level Dark Iron professional through the system.
However, although the middle-aged man dressed as a noble wasn't very strong, the attendant beside him with a respectful attitude gave the two of them a very dangerous feeling.
Feelings were quite accurate in Elven Nation. If the other party could make them feel threatened, it meant that the other party was definitely very strong!
"Brother Mu, that attendant might be a Silver."
Demacia typed in the chat channel.
"Well, let's act according to the original plan. Start your performance."
Li Mu replied.
However, before the two of them could speak, Cage spoke first.
"Two young professionals, hello! I'm the head of the Sauron Chamber of Commerce in Maple Leaf City, Cage Sauron. Are you the members of the Chamber of Commerce that Anders introduced? "
He had a smile on his face, as if he was talking to an old friend. It made people feel a sense of familiarity.
However, the two players who already knew the details of the other party in advance were extremely vigilant.
Li Mu took out Anders's note from his bosom and handed it to Cage, saying, "Don't worry.
"Hello, President Cage. We're members of the Bluestar Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom of Ayres. I'm the captain of the chamber of commerce, Li Mu. This is my butler and attendant, Demacia. Mr. Anders introduced us to you and wants to make a deal with you."
Cage nodded slightly, then took the note from Li Mu.
When he recognized Anders' handwriting on the note, as well as some hints left by the other party, he had a better understanding of the other party's situation.
A young noble from the south, pretending to be a Chamber of Commerce, and very interested in Elven slaves!
Cage already had a pretty good guess in his mind.
Of course, it didn't matter if he was a noble or not. As long as he was introduced by Anders, it was enough.
Thinking of this, Cage's face was suddenly full of smiles.
"It's indeed Anders' handwriting. Since you're Anders' friends, then naturally you're my friends. The Sauron Chamber of Commerce doesn't have much, but we have all kinds of rare treasures. I wonder … Mr. Li Mu, what kind of deal do you want to make with us?"
After hearing his words, Li Mu gave Demacia a look, and Demacia took a step forward and laughed.
"Of course it's a big deal! President Cage, we heard from Mr. Anders that you have Elven slaves? Hehe, we're very interested in Elven slaves. Hmm … Money isn't a problem. "
As expected, they're here for Elves.
And … they don't lack money.
Cage's heart skipped a beat.
For a moment, the smile on his face became even brighter and more amiable.
"Of course, the Elven trade has always been the biggest business of the Sauron Chamber of Commerce. Anders isn't wrong to tell you that."
"You came at the right time. A few days ago, we just received a batch of goods. If you're interested, we can go take a look together."
After saying that, he turned his head and gave a look to an old butler on the other side.
The old butler was taken aback at first, then he retreated with a look of realization.
"I've already arranged it. If the two of you are interested, you can come with me to take a look. But … The slave room is currently being cleaned. It's very dirty and the smell isn't very pleasant. It might take a while before you can go in. "
"Why don't the two of you have a cup of coffee from the Southern Continent first and we can chat. Wait a moment, it should be about ten minutes later."
Cage warmly invited them.
Li Mu and Demacia looked at each other and nodded.
Thus, under Cage's warm invitation, the two of them sat down in the guest hall and chatted with Cage while drinking coffee.
The content of their conversation naturally revolved around the local customs of Maple Leaf City and the origins of Li Mu and Demacia.
However, the latter would always cover up the topic with a laugh, which made Cage who wanted to fish for information a little depressed.
Soon, the old butler of the Sauron Chamber of Commerce returned.
He came to Cage's side and whispered a few words in his ear.
Cage's spirits were lifted. He turned his head and smiled at Li Mu and Demacia.
"Alright, the slave room has been cleaned. The two of you, we can now go and take a look at the goods."
After saying that, he stood up and gestured for them to go in.
Li Mu and Demacia were also lifted. They also stood up from their seats and quietly followed Cage.
Under the guidance of the old butler, Cage accompanied the two players into the Chamber of Commerce and came to a building surrounded by high walls.
Looking at the building in front of him that resembled a fortress, Cage's face had a trace of pride.
"This is the place where our Chamber of Commerce imprisons the slaves. It was built to imitate the Wemandua Prison in the capital of the Empire. It's extremely sturdy!"
"Come in, all the slaves of our Chamber of Commerce are inside."
After saying that, he took the lead and walked in.
Li Mu and Demacia took a deep breath and stepped through the door made of thick iron bars.
The interior of the building was very dim, and the air was a little turbid. Only the torches on the walls on both sides of the building illuminated everything.
There were single cells on both sides that looked like prison cells. There were all kinds of slaves, including Orcs, Half-Orcs, Lizardmen, Minotaurs … There were even some rare magical beasts.
Of course, there were also humans.
However, these weren't the goal of the two of them.
They only looked at the strange races and clicked their tongues in wonder. At the same time, they followed Cage's footsteps into the depths of the building.
After walking for a few minutes, they finally came to a relatively clean cell with better lighting. Here, Li Mu and Demacia finally saw their target — the Elves!
There were many Elves here. At a glance, there were at least twenty to thirty of them. There were both males and females, and more females.
Not only that, but they were also quite young. The oldest one looked like a human in his thirties, and the youngest one looked like a child.
Other than these Elves, there were more than ten strange Elves in the other cell. Although they also had pointed ears, the length of their ears was less than two-thirds of that of normal Elves.
This … This was a group of Half-Elves!
Just as Li Mu and Cain saw these Elves, a new system notification suddenly appeared in their vision.
