"Don't be anxious, sir." Nancy narrowed her eyes. She didn't know why she suddenly became interested and asked, "I want to know more information about the goods you transport so that I can make a decision. For example, is it Who gave you this commission, why gave you this commission, etc."
"Is this it?" After listening to Nancy's words, the middle-aged man rubbed his hands and said, "Of course there is no problem with this. In fact, it is not a secret. The person who entrusted me is a member of the Western Kana wizard family. In fact, they It is not just my business group that was entrusted, it is said that it was entrusted to more than a dozen business groups, large and small, and the goods transported were the dowry of the eldest daughter of their family."
"Dowry? They want to marry their daughter?" Gro said.
"They do want to marry their daughter." The middle-aged man nodded.
"Since you are marrying your daughter, why are you transporting goods from east to west instead of from west to east? Isn't this reversed?" Nancy questioned, "Didn't you just say that the Kana family is in the west? "
"This is not reversed." The middle-aged man explained, "The main reason is that in order to marry their daughter, the Kana family spent a lot of effort to transport a large amount of dowry in advance. As a result, the Kana family's eldest daughter was planning to marry The other party suddenly regretted the marriage, and the Kana family’s daughter could not get married, so she had to send the dowry back again.”
"What else happened? Why specifically? Why did the other party regret the marriage?" Nancy asked, with a curious look on her face.
Gro, who could not help but shake his head in disdain, said in his heart: "Sure enough, women like to inquire about useless things like this. It's not interesting at all. It's just a waste of time."
Turning his head, Glo looked at the middle-aged man and asked: "What family is the other party that regrets the marriage? Are they not afraid of the Kana family being angry if they regret the marriage? You also said that the Kana family is a wizard family, which means that the other party has The wizard is in charge, right?"
"This..." Faced with Nancy and Gro's many questions, the middle-aged man scratched his head and collected his thoughts before saying, "Actually, I don't know the details very well. I just heard that the Kana family is going to marry their daughter off. The one given is another wizard family called Melrose.
The Melrose family and the Kana family are family friends. They have always had a good relationship, and they are both very strong. There are many powerful wizards in the family. It is for this reason that the two families decided to get married to help each other. Everything was going well and it was about to be done, but something happened not long ago.
But this incident did not affect the relationship between the two families - if it did, it didn't show. But no matter what, the eldest daughter of the Kana family has returned, and naturally the large amount of dowry cannot be left here - it must be transported back. That's all I know. "
"That's it." After hearing this, Nancy nodded with a bit of contentment, and then asked, "Then where exactly do you want to send it?"
"The commission I received is to send it to a city in the west called Lorinda." The middle-aged man said.
"Lorin Dan?" Nancy's eyes flashed and she turned to look at Gro.
Gro understood, and reached out from his arms to take out a well-preserved note.
This note was given to Macbeth when he was on the east coast. It contains an address - the address of the family of Macbeth's dead female apprentice.
Macbeth entrusts the two of them to return the female student's relic, a pendant, back to the other's family.
Opening the note carefully, Gro took a careful glance, looked up at the middle-aged man, and asked for confirmation: "Are you sure this is a city called Lorraine?"
"Of course."
"Is it that Lorin Dan from the TEDA Kingdom?"
"Yes, it's the TEDA Kingdom." The middle-aged man nodded.
After hearing this, Gro and Nancy looked at each other and quickly reached a consensus.
Nancy looked at the middle-aged man and said seriously: "In that case, fine, the two of us can agree to your request—accompany your business group to transport goods to Lorraine in the West."
"real?"
"certainly."
"Thank you very much."
"You're welcome, just let me know first, we charge a fee."
"Of course, of course, the money must be given." The middle-aged man said hurriedly, and asked Nancy, "Look... how about ten high-grade crystal coins by yourself?"
"That's quite reasonable." Nancy nodded, "But there are two of us, how much do you plan to give."
"Ten high-grade crystal coins for one person, of course, twenty high-grade crystal coins for two people." Groh couldn't help but thought from the side, "This calculation is too simple, there is no need to ask."
As a result, the next moment he saw the middle-aged man glance at him and said tentatively to Nancy: "How about twelve... twelve and a half high-grade crystal coins?"
"Isn't it a little less?" Nancy frowned and raised the price, "It's still fifteen pieces anyway."
"But..." The middle-aged man returned to his true nature as a businessman and bargained, "But I just wanted to invite you alone at the beginning, because I am sure that you are very strong. As for the companion beside you, At once… "
"Okay, no need to say more." Nancy raised her hand and decided, "Twelve and a half, just twelve and a half, that's it."
"That's good." The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief.
Gro, standing aside, was speechless for a while: "..."
By the way, no one wants to ask what he means? He's only worth a quarter of Nancy. What do you mean? It's a bit outrageous, isn't it? Although he really couldn't beat Nancy, and although he was still just a wizard apprentice, he wasn't that far behind... maybe.
Gro thought full of grievances, but Nancy asked the middle-aged man curiously.
"Hey, you really don't know the specific reason for the Melrose family's repentance of their marriage?"
"Well, I've actually heard of part of it: it seems to be related to the direct descendants of the other family who came back not long ago."
"Direct descendant? What's your name?"
"It seems to be called Sherlock, um, Sherlock Melrose."
"Sherlock Melrose? The name is a bit strange..."
…
When the four-color Mance flower had just bloomed into its second color - pink, Sherlock, who liked to wear pink clothes, spent a lot of time and hired a lot of people to unload many flowers from the big ship arriving at the port. The goods formed a huge convoy and were transported to their inland destinations.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
"Stop, rob!"
The motorcade was driving on the road when suddenly a loud shout was heard, which was quite impressive.
Accompanied by this shout, "crash", more than forty ambush figures appeared on both sides of the road, all holding weapons and looking fiercely.
One of the people, who seemed to be the leader, strode to the front of the convoy, stopped the convoy, and shouted: "People in the convoy, listen to me, I have forty-seven people here! Yes, a full forty-seven people. ! If you are wise, just leave the goods on the carriage and get out!
As long as you cooperate, I will never hurt anyone, but if you dare to resist, huh, don't blame me for being a bully with more people than others! Let me tell you, although I have failed once, I will never fail this second time! Absolutely not! "
