Chapter 09 Negotiation
There is only one bed in the room. Naturally, two people slept together at night. At first, Mary Kay was worried and nervous, and a little inexplicably excited, but Ike was very disciplined and never crossed the middle line. The two were back to back and sleepless all night. When it was already dawn, the two But I couldn't stand it. I fell asleep one after another and didn't wake up until two o'clock in the afternoon.
Ike has found a way to enter the city, so he is not in a hurry. After lunch, he took Mary Kay to go shopping. The streets of Shishi Town are very prosperous, and there are many vendors selling gadgets. The little girl always looks at the items they sell strangely. Ike wants to buy one or two for her, but they are all She refused, and she said she just liked to watch it.
"Hands," Ike ordered.
Mary Kay obediently sent a pair of small hands. Ike grabbed one of them, and then covered it with the other big hand. When he evacuated his hand, Mary Kay saw a puppet on her palm, which was very small and coincidental.
"When did you buy it? Why don't I know?" Mary Kay asked with a smile.
She looked at this little puppet for a long time, but finally didn't propose to buy it to Ike, and Ike has been following her and hasn't seen him leave. How did she get this puppet? Mary Kay was surprised.
Ike smiled and said nothing. With his current skills, he can change the things in other people's pockets into his own pockets even if he only has a second, but he also left a gold coin for the businessman when he held the sheep, so it can't be regarded as stealing. If he is allowed to sell it, he will definitely not be able to sell it. The price is expensive, so Ike has no sense of guilt at all.
The two didn't return to the hotel until dark. After dinner, they returned to the room. Originally, Ike didn't plan to sleep that night, but I don't know why, after Mary Kay lay down, he changed his attention and did not practice any more. He also lay down next to her.
In the first half of the night and last night, both of them couldn't sleep, but later Mary Kay made a bold move. She actually took the initiative to hug Ike, and her petite body stuck to Ike's body. The two became face to face. No one spoke, so they maintained this posture, and both of them fell asleep.
Maybe it's because he had visited yesterday, so Ike did not take Mary Kay out this day, but hid in the room to practice. Only when they ate would they go downstairs.
"Eat quickly, I'll take you to a place later," Ike urged.
He eats quickly and never pays attention to his image. Just like a person who has been hungry for three or four days, he stuffs things into his mouth and swallows them almost without chewing. On the contrary, Mary Kay, as an orc, eats slowly, just like a daughter of a large family.
Mary Kay nodded and slightly accelerated the speed of eating, but this "smanuity" was still not good in Ike's eyes, but it was his own person, so he could not wait for so much time, quietly watching Mary Kay eating.
"I'm full, let's go!" Mary Kay didn't forget to wipe her mouth after eating, and then said to Ike.
Ike stood up and took Mary Kay out of the hotel. By this time, it was already dark, but every family had the lights on. There were still many people on the street who came out for a walk after eating like them, so they did not look lonely.
I have been with Ike for a long time, and Mary Kay also has a deep understanding of him. From his face, it can be seen that he has something serious to do, so she doesn't ask much and keeps walking with Ike.
Although Shishi Town is small, there are many lanes with seven turns. Mary Kay is a little curious. Ike seems to know the route, but he turned left and again without hesitation. Soon they came to a silk shop.
The silk shop has been closed for business, and Ike ignored it. He came forward directly, pulled his hands, and pulled the wooden door away, immediately revealing the scene inside.
A middle-aged man who looked like a store manager ran out of the inside in a panic and was not angry when he saw Ike smashing his door. Instead, he asked with a smile, "Sir, what's the order?"
Ike sneered, "Call the person in charge here."
A suspicious light flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, but he still said, "Sir, I'm the owner of this store. You can tell me anything."
"I'm not looking for you. I'm looking for a woman in her thirties. I know she's here. If you don't ask her to see me, I'll kill all the people here," Ike threatened.
The middle-aged man can be sent here as a store manager, and his eyesight is naturally not bad. He can see Ike's ability and know that he can't be offended, and his tone seems to know his boss, so he can only give in.
"Wait a minute, I'll call you now"
This silk shop is open in the innermost part of an alley. Even if Ike just made a lot of noise, no one around him came out to have a look. I don't know if he didn't hear it or didn't want to get into trouble.
The woman came quickly. She was slightly surprised when she saw Ike and Mary Kay standing in the hall. She had the ability to never forget. Although Ike and Mary Kay just glanced at the hotel, she still remembered them and recognized people. She also roughly guessed Ike's purpose, nothing more than herself and herself. He heard the fat man's conversation and wanted to get a piece of the pie.
There was dissenting and contempt in her heart, but her face was well covered and the flowers and branches trembled with laughter, but the powder on her face were too strong. Ike was really worried that she would laugh off the powder on her face with such a smile.
"What's the name of this gentleman?" the woman asked with a smile.
"Miss Ike, how about you?" Ike asked politely, after all, the next step is to rely on her way. You can't call her "Hey, hey", but you still need to know her name.
"Sir, just call me Cherry." The woman seemed to be very popular with the word Miss Ike and smiled sweeter.
"I don't know why my husband came to me?" Cherry didn't take a door seriously. The guy in front of her was wrapped in linen and only a pair of eyes made her feel dangerous and had to be cautious.
Ike glanced at it and confirmed that no one was eavesdropping around, and then said, "I want to enter Rhinehart City. I know you can help us."
"Sure enough", Cherry was shocked. Even if she had been psychologically prepared for a long time, she still couldn't calm down as soon as Ike said it. Originally, what a fat man moved out was enough for her to go back to her hometown to farm. Now another Ike came out, and maybe her life would be lost here.
"This is not a place to talk. Please come with me and this little girl. Let's talk about it in the back hall." Cherry is not as bold as Ike. She dares to discuss this issue in the hall, leading Ike to go inside and wink at the store manager here before leaving.
Since Ike dared to come, he was naturally not afraid of her conspiracy and tricks, so he took Mary Kay to the back room with her. She said it was the back hall, but it was not connected to the front hall. There was also a room in the middle, and the back hall was designed to be very hidden. It was in the middle of the two rooms, but the door was open on the other side. From the front, it was absolutely seen. Don't come out.
Cherry welcomed the two into the back hall, closed the door in person, stared at Ike nervously, and asked, "I don't know where the gentleman heard the news."
She is very smart and not brain-damaged like the store manager. She knew that since the other party dared to come with only a little girl, she must have the ability, so when the store manager gave her a look that killed him, she clearly stopped her.
"I happened to hear what you said to that fat man." There was nothing to hide, and Ike told her generously.
"Sure enough." Cherry originally thought that she was careful enough that day, but she didn't expect to be heard. It seems that she has to be more careful.
"Mr. Ike wants us to help you and this lady enter Reinhardt City?" Cherry asked.
"Yes," Ike returned.
"Can I ask, if I don't agree?" Cherry raised her head and asked. She wanted to know what the card of this man who only showed a pair of eyes was and whether it was worth taking a risk.
"If you don't agree, I will kill all of you, including the fat man," Ike said without any emotion, as if their life and death had no value at all, and he deliberately pointed out that the fat man would also be killed, just to make the woman feel that she was a murderer. Devil.
Cherry was really scared by him. Although what she had been doing was illegal and could not escape death if she was found, it was the first time that she was threatened to be killed so bluntly, and Ike released a trace of murderousness when she spoke. How could she, an ordinary person resist?
"This is a murderer." Cherry looked at the smile on Mary Kay's face and suddenly felt that this was the most cruel smile in the whole world. This person who she was talking about killing everyone, but she could smile indifferently. What a strange combination.
"Okay, I promise you." Cherry felt that she was about to relax. Never once could put pressure on her like today. She didn't know that all this was because of Ike's murderous spirit. When she agreed, Ike restrained her murderous spirit. She immediately relaxed a little and took out her hand on her back. It was full of sweat.
The fat man had not arrived yet, and Ike deliberately came an hour earlier. After they negotiated, the fat man also arrived.
