"Carriage cab! Carriage cab, in the direction of Roy Street, still two people short! "
"Hotel! A clean and tidy hotel, three meals a day for only five pence! "
"Welcome to Casey's Tavern. We have the purest fish and chips, as well as freshly brewed wheat beer!"

Walking out of Tunguska City Train Station, Connor, who had changed into a new face, listened to the shouts around him and nodded to himself. Everything in front of him was similar to what he had imagined. Everything was filled with the aura of the marketplace.
In order not to attract attention, Connor did not act like he did in Loen and hire a carriage cab alone. Instead, he shared a ride with someone else.
This time, Connor had made ample preparations for his trip to Tunguska City. He did not choose to stay in a hotel, but chose to rent a stand-alone house in Sisoko Street, which had better security. Connor believed that even if everything went smoothly this time, he would have to stay in Tunguska City for at least a month, so renting a house was more discreet than staying in a hotel.
After settling the chores, Connor looked at the house he had rented and shrugged indifferently. To be honest, the living environment of this house was much worse than his apartment in Loen, but fortunately, it was clean, tidy, and had all the amenities for life. Connor was quite satisfied with this residence.
Leaning on the sofa, Connor silently ordered in his heart, "A.I. Chip, bring up the map of Tunguska City!"
[Beep! Following the host's will, the map of Tunguska City has appeared in your mind.] The A.I. Chip's cold female voice sounded in Connor's mind.
Although he had studied this map countless times, when a map appeared in his mind, Connor felt that it was beneficial for him to make new discoveries.
Compared to Loen, Tunguska City was not big. It was only about an eighth of Loen's size, and its population was only about fifty thousand people. The entire city was located in a hilly area, and there were no mountains or rivers.
Although Tunguska was not big, it was still a very difficult problem for Connor to find a hidden Magic Stone mine alone. Fortunately, before Connor came, he had refined a gadget that could detect Magic Stone mines with the help of Marguerite's alchemy materials — the Magic Detection Staff!
This Magic Detection Staff had an ordinary appearance, no different from an ordinary staff. Its function was also very simple, which was to discover magic stone mines within a radius of one kilometer. Apart from that, it had no other use.
The existence of the Magic Detecting Staff gave Connor the confidence to search for the Magic Stone mine in Tunguska without any clues.
After resting in his room for a day, Connor wore his black robe and appeared in the largest tavern in Tunguska City, Lakeside Tavern.
Although it was said to be the largest tavern in Tunguska City, the Lakeside Tavern's environment was still very wild. Drunk men, women with heavy makeup, and all kinds of people filled the place.
Under the bartender's scrutinizing gaze, Connor casually threw a one gold pound coin at his face and said in a low voice, "Don't look at me with your dog eyes. Tell the Glazer Family's intelligence dealer that there's business at my door!"
At first, the fierce-looking bartender's face became fierce when the coin hit him in the face. However, when he found out that it was a one gold pound coin, a fawning expression appeared on his fierce-looking face like a chameleon. He bowed slightly to Connor, then said respectfully to Connor, "Sir, I'll go look for them now."
Five minutes later, the bartender led Connor into a private room in the tavern. At this time, a skinny and capable man in the private room carefully sized up Connor in his black robe. He laughed dryly and said, "Sir, please have a seat. Everyone calls me Ryan. May I know your name, sir?"
Sitting on the sofa opposite Ryan, Connor glanced at the man who called himself Ryan and said in a low voice, "You can call me Eriksson. I want you to help me find out what this person has been doing here!" After saying that, Connor took out an oil painting from his pocket and handed it over.
After receiving the oil painting from Connor, the man who called himself Ryan surprised Connor. He did not open the oil painting immediately. Instead, he said with a smile, "Mr. Eriksson, I don't care what you want to do, but there are some things I have to tell you first."
"Since you know the Glazer Family, you should know our rules. We have a mission here with a minimum price of ten gold pounds. Even if we don't get anything in the end, we won't refund it to you. Of course, we will do our best once we accept a mission. There hasn't been a case of no reward for several years. If we can't complete a mission, no one else in Tunguska City can!" Ryan's tone was very calm, but there was a hint of arrogance in his eyes.
"Sure!" Since he wanted to use him, Connor did not mind his rules.
"In that case, let me see who you are looking for." Seeing that Connor agreed to his terms, Ryan opened the oil painting.
Looking at the extremely recognizable portrait of Snake Eye in the oil painting, Ryan's eyes revealed a dignified look. He looked back at Connor and said, "300 gold pounds!"
Connor glanced at Ryan with a faint smile. He knew that Ryan was a smart guy, but it was a pity that poverty had limited his imagination. Connor did not waste any time. He took out three 100 gold pound notes from his wallet and threw them on the table. He said faintly, "I will look for you in a week. Don't let me down!" After saying that, Connor turned and left the room.
Connor left very decisively, leaving Ryan in the room, who wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. He looked at the notes on the table and smiled bitterly.
Ryan, who was experienced and knowledgeable, did not know who the person in the portrait was, but from the strange green eyes of Snake Eye in the portrait, he understood that Snake Eye's identity was most likely related to a wizard. As an ordinary person, although he had some connections, he did not want to provoke a wizard. However, because of his profession, he could not directly reject Connor, so he offered a high price of 300 gold pounds, hoping that Connor would back off.
However, what Ryan did not expect was that the black-robed man understood his intention, but the black-robed man directly took out the money and threw it at him.
A guy who was looking for a wizard and who did not feel the slightest bit of heartache for spending 300 gold pounds. No matter what, meeting such a person made Ryan know that he was in trouble.
