Zuo Yi didn't give Bonn more detailed information. He hoped that Bonn could help him find Gu Yunxi in Chilly Winter.
Chilly Winter had a population of 200,000. It wasn't easy for Zuo Yi to find Gu Yunxi in an unfamiliar place.
Though Bonn wasn't from Atoya, he had been to Chilly Winter before as a merchant, so it was more convenient for him to do things.
Of course, this was the best choice to not cause any trouble. If this didn't work, Zuo Yi would use his ultimate move.
For example, he would fly above Chilly Winter and roar, "Gu Yunxi, where are you?"
As long as Gu Yunxi was in this city, she would definitely come out.
Bonn didn't hesitate to agree to Zuo Yi's request. He even rejected the gold that Zuo Yi offered.
Even though he came to Chilly Winter 10 years ago, and there were many changes in Chilly Winter, he wasn't unfamiliar with this city. It was easy for him to find his familiar circle.
"Lord, please wait for me here …"
Bonn respectfully pointed to a tavern at the side and said, "I'll be back soon after I find her."
Zuo Yi didn't object and said, "Okay."
Bonn immediately left, disappearing into the bustling crowd in the blink of an eye, like a fish returning to the sea.
Zuo Yi went to the tavern and ordered a cup of ale and two plates of desserts before sitting down and waiting.
He was already in Chilly Winter, so he had the patience to wait.
After finishing a cup of ale and two plates of desserts, Bonn hurried over with a fat and a thin man.
"Lord."
Bonn introduced them to Zuo Yi. "This is Manager Harris of the Lyme Chamber of Commerce."
He introduced the fat man in the brocade robe. The latter smiled and pressed his hand against his chest. He bowed to Zuo Yi and said, "It's an honor to meet you, Lord."
He spoke in the Serais language. The languages of the three Human kingdoms were similar, but the accents were slightly different.
"Hello."
Zuo Yi nodded. "I want to ask you to help me find someone from Bluestar."
Harris's expression turned serious. "Bluestar?"
Though this was the territory of the Kingdom of Atoya, Frostwinter was ruled by the Bluestar. Investigating an Atoya and a Bluestar were completely different.
"Name your price."
Zuo Yi said, "I just need to know her current whereabouts, where she works or lives."
Harris could not help but relax because Zuo Yi's requirements were not high. Even if the target of the investigation was a Bluestar, it was not difficult for him.
In fact, it was very easy, because he could get in touch with the higher-ups in Bluestar.
However, Harris was a little hesitant as to what price he should offer. He wondered if it was appropriate to rip off Zuo Yi.
At this moment, the thin man who came with him suddenly coughed.
Harris suddenly felt a chill in his heart. A smile reappeared on his face as he said, "This is just a small matter. Since you were introduced by Bonn, and I have been friends with Bonn for many years, I want to help you find it. As for the money, we can talk about it later."
Bonn's mouth twitched.
He knew Harris, but they were not friends. They had only had business dealings. If he had not paid a price this time, he would not have met Harris.
Harris's willingness to meet Zuo Yi in person was also the result of Bonn's persuasion.
Zuo Yi glanced at the thin man and did not want to continue talking nonsense with Harris. He said straightforwardly, "Okay, the person I'm looking for is called Candice. She is from Da Xia, Bluestar. She should have come to Winter two years ago."
Winter was the base of the Flaming Cross in the Wild World. Tens of thousands of Extraordinaires from Da Xia gathered there. As a citizen of Da Xia, Gu Yunxi should be a very obvious target. As long as the other party had some connections, it would be easy to find her whereabouts.
This was why Zuo Yi did not want to make a big fuss. Why should he make a big fuss over something that could be solved with money?
"I need to get news of her as soon as possible. Money is not a problem."
Harris smiled and said, "Please don't worry. As long as she is in Winter, I promise I will be able to find her."
Harris was not talking nonsense. In addition to his connections with the higher-ups, the Lime Chamber of Commerce's power in Winter could not be underestimated.
He whispered a few words to the thin man beside him, and the latter nodded and left.
Zuo Yi saw that the thin man was strong and agile. He was similar to a Bandit or Assassin.
The thin man had reminded Harris just now. He probably saw that Lin Sheng was not ordinary.
This saved Zuo Yi a lot of trouble.
After the thin man left, the three of them waited in the tavern. Harris, the steward of the Lime Chamber of Commerce, was very tactful. He warmly asked the waiter to order drinks and food.
He chatted merrily with Zuo Yi and didn't neglect Bonn. They talked about the interesting things that happened in Frostwinter Castle.
About an hour later, the skinny man came back and whispered a few words in Harris's ear.
Harris frowned and said to Zuo Yi, "Lord, the Miss Candice you're looking for isn't in Chilly Winter Castle."
Not in Winter?
This was the answer that Zuo Yi did not want to hear. He asked in a low voice, "Do you know where she went?"
If she returned to the Continent, it was really …
Harris looked troubled. "Lord, I'm afraid you don't know that Miss Candice is working in the Winter Garrison. We can't …"
"10,000 gold coins."
Zuo Yi interrupted him. "I want to know her whereabouts."
Harris was stunned.
The Lime Chamber of Commerce's business was very big. Selling information was a regular business. It was common for Zuo Yi to find someone's whereabouts.
However, the starting price of 10,000 gold coins was very shocking. At least, Harris had never accepted such a large order before.
Although he handled a lot of money, he was dizzy. "Lord …"
Zuo Yi waved his hand. "20,000 gold coins."
Six pieces of glistening yellow gold bricks appeared on the table in an instant.
Harris was dumbfounded. Even the thin man next to him held his breath.
They were both surprised by Zuo Yi's generosity and shocked by Zuo Yi's miraculous methods.
Zuo Yi stretched out his finger and tapped on the gold bricks. "Tell me where she is, and these are all yours."
Harris could not help but gulp. He gritted his teeth and said, "I need to convince a certain lord."
He looked at the gold bricks on the table.
As the saying went, "Money makes the world go round." The power of money could be used in almost all planes of the Multiverse, and the Wild World was no exception. It was difficult to speak empty words, but using gold bricks to speak was extremely powerful.
Zuo Yi did not care about Harris's hint. "Take them. I only want accurate information."
He was not worried that Harris would run away with the money.
