Stonggu Market in the evening was the most deserted time of the day. Many shops were temporarily closed for dinner. However, today, the silence was broken by the rumbling of carriages. No one had seen that flag before. The merchants here came from all over the world. No matter how remote the place was, there should be people who knew about it.
The carriages came in from the east gate of the market and stopped at the largest trading store. Last week, Akas suddenly emptied the store. It was originally rented by a famous rich merchant. Everyone thought that Akas was even crazier. He actually didn't want to make money. However, today, a huge fleet of carriages came.
The merchants' keen business sense immediately smelled a business opportunity and gathered around. They saw a group of workers wrapped up tightly, constantly moving goods from the carriages. From the shape, it should be some kind of grain. Before the store opened, someone claimed that he smelled wheat.
"Is it really grain?"
"If they can take out grain to sell at this time, it would be amazing."
The surrounding merchants discussed. They all understood that selling grain now was a sure way to make a profit. This war had almost depleted all of the empire's grain reserves. There was a possibility of famine in many places. If you had grain to sell at this time, as long as you handled it well, it might be more valuable than gold.
However, the other party had not opened yet. Everything was hard to say. Perhaps it was just a gimmick to attract customers.
At this time, a young man in a black suit appeared. As soon as he appeared, he attracted everyone's attention. It was not only because of his young and handsome appearance, but also because of the two beautiful women beside him. They were obviously nobles. One of them had snow-white skin and gave people a feeling that they could only look at her from afar and not get close to her.
The other was more simple, but her every move was elegant and proper. It was obvious that she had received a high noble education.
The main character, the man in the black suit, was definitely the boss of the caravan. Whether it was his aura or his expression, he was someone who could speak.
Many merchants judged from their own experience that he must be a rich man. Perhaps he was the son of some lord who came here to secretly sell grain.
No one knew the truth, but the merchants did not care about the truth. They only cared about whether there was money to be made. If it was as they guessed, then this was a great opportunity to make money.
"Boss! Aiyo, business is booming. Such a big business, I wonder if a small businessman like me is welcome. "
At this moment, a man with a big belly and a big smile on his face came to the Demon King's shop. He walked over as if he was an old acquaintance of the Demon King.
The nearby merchants immediately recognized this person. Wasn't he Stonggu City's famous Iron of Righteousness?! He was a famous middleman. Anything could be resold by him. No matter how big or small a merchant was, he had dealt with all of them.
Just as many people thought, he really came here to look for business.
The Demon King smiled at him and said, "Welcome, welcome. Of course you're welcome." Then he looked at Myr behind him and said, "Pour a cup of tea for this boss."
"Hey! No need, no need. You guys are busy. Don't worry about me. I'm just here to say hello. "
The other party spoke as if they were old friends. Unknowingly, the distance between them had been shortened. However, the Demon King knew exactly what was going on behind this smiling face.
If there's business, we'll talk about it! If you don't have it, I'll force you to do it! After coming to Stonggu City, it didn't matter if you were a noble or royal. You had to obediently pay up!
"Oh, oh! Look at my memory. I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Iron of Righteousness. Righteousness as in righteousness, iron as in steel. Hehe, the most important thing for a merchant is trust, right? "
Iron of Righteousness's way of thinking made the Demon King somewhat dissatisfied, but this person had value.
"I'm Richard. Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you. I'm really lucky to know such a talented person like you."
"You're too kind."
The conversation between the two made the Mother Empress let out a long yawn. Myr, on the other hand, revealed a polite smile.
After saying a bunch of nonsense, the Demon King let him know that he mainly sold wheat. Iron of Righteousness's expression immediately changed and he very warmly invited him to have a meal.
Thus, the Demon King left the Mother Empress behind as a guard and had Varley and Myr take care of the shop. He then left.
At this time, on the other side of the city, most of the people here were residences. The streets were also cleaner. On a large road at a fork in the road, there was a big hotel called Luo Pu Wine City. The white marble exterior and expensive glass windows made it the most beautiful hotel in Stonggu City.
Of course, it was also the most expensive. Usually, only upper-class merchants and nobles could afford to stay there.
Layle stayed in this hotel and booked four large guest rooms. She had her subordinates, including the cook, stay there.
In the living room, there was a square cage. It was densely packed with small holes. Layle sat in the master's seat and explained the main points of this mission.
"First, we'll start from two points. First, the leader Akas. As the manager and the person with the highest authority in Stonggu City, it's impossible that he doesn't know anything. Perhaps he has already betrayed the humans and made a deal with the demons."
Layle pushed up her glasses. Her expression was very solemn.
"No matter what method we use, we have to investigate everything about him. That's the first point. Second, the merchants here come from all over the world. There's definitely something bad among them. The person in charge of the investigation should observe in secret. As expected, don't make a move after confirming his identity. "
Layle's eyes turned sharp. "We have to follow the clues and find the source of these shapeshifting monsters. It's best if we can eliminate them in one fell swoop."
"Lastly, I have to remind you not to act alone. This isn't a controlled territory. We don't have an adventurer's branch. If anything happens, no one can help us. That's why we don't have any outside help for this mission. We can only rely on ourselves. "
She looked at the nine colleagues in front of her. They were all wearing black badges.
"I also believe in your abilities. Fellow dark adventurers …"
After the meeting, she walked to the window. The sky had darkened. Dark clouds rolled in from the sky. It was dark and very low.
Was there going to be a snowstorm again?
No, it shouldn't be.
Layle put her hand on the window. Her expression became more and more uneasy.
"This is a warning."
