Chapter 102 Scavenger

Krenborg is not far away. On the third night, Li saw the door of Kronborg. The door of the ancient castle was open, and the chains of the suspension bridge were covered with green vines.

"It looks like a peaceful place," Li walked to the door, touched the rattan on the chain and said, "This door should not have been closed for more than ten years."

"Fifteen years," Ryan replied, "The protection of the holy city is not a thick wall, but the faith in people's hearts. No king of that country dares to launch a war against the holy city. If he does so, his army will overthrow him first.

" Even the king dares not be disrespectful to Van Segang, but you dare to sneak into Van Segang to kill people. It's really bold."

Ryan's eyes widened, "You, how do you know?"

"It's not hard to guess. You guys are carefully lurking in the woods outside the holy city with murderous weapons. They are definitely not going to hunt. So many of them are killing people." Li looked at the panic in Ryan's eyes, and then shook his head and said, "You are a smart girl. You should pretend to be scared. Are you really not worried at all?"

"Why worry, Lord Li, you are my employer now. And I guess you should have known the plan of our team, but you didn't stop us, so you should not be with us. I don't think it would be bad for me. As for the rest of the team," Ryan shrugged his shoulders and said carelessly, "Those people are scum. They deserve it even if they die. I don't have to worry about them?"

"But those people are your comrades-in-arms."

"It's just temporary."

"That's good. I can tell you a message. If your people want to do something bad in Van Segon, no matter what, you have chosen the worst time."

"Oh? May I ask why?"

"Ah, of course, just before we left Van Segang, something happened there. Now Van Segang may be the most heavily defended time in hundreds of years."

"I think they can take care of themselves. By the way, where is your huge brother?"

"The word 'huge' is not very good. You'd better use the word 'strong'. As for my brother, you don't have to worry about him. He can take care of himself.

"I think you'd better take your brother with you."

"Thank you for your concern, but to be honest, you don't have to worry about me."

"You are my employer. I'm just afraid that you will die and I won't receive the money."

Li just smiled, and Ryan didn't talk anymore. He could see that the girl was not in a good mood. Li thought she should be worried about her "temporary teammates". In this way, the essence of this girl is not too bad.

As Ryan said, the Nighthawk Tavern is very famous in the downtown area, and it is on the street. Even late at night, the pub is still open. The bright candlelight shines on the dark stone road through the gate, as if it were a shiny business card.

Because of Ryan, Li easily entered the second-floor box of the pub. Under the guidance of Ryan's introduction, a fat man quickly entered the box.

After the fat man bowed to Li, he sat opposite Li. He was wearing a worn-out black suit and a harmless smiling face, looking like a depressed ordinary businessman.

"This is the best 'skin [t] guest' I can find. Even in the whole industry, the fat man is the best," Ryan said to Li, "Try your request to the fat man, and he will choose the right person for you."

"I want a killer," Li said directly, "I don't care about the price of the best killer. I just want him to be the best, not at all."

The fat man laughed and laughed for a long time before he said to Ryan, "It's really a chick," after saying that, the fat man picked up the wine in the private room and poured a cup for all three of them. Then he said, "Well, the guy opposite, listen, I've been working in this industry for many years, and I've seen such a beautiful young man like you. But at least they know how to wear a mask, or wear a robe, walk in like you, and then directly say that you want the best. It's really rare.

"Are you doing business or not?"

"Do it, of course. Don't I have money when I come? However, since you brought it to me by little Ryan, I naturally have to say more words, so that you won't bother me afterwards. First of all, is it really a deadly hatred that can't be resolved? I think you should think about it. If not, it's better to solve it in another way. Murder seems to be a hundred, but it involves a lot and often makes things worse. Well, are you still sure you want to hire a scavenger to help you solve the problem?

"I'm sure."

"Well, let's talk about your goal. I will be responsible for choosing the most suitable for you. Listen, killing is the same as playing from a certain point of view, only the most suitable, and there is no best. A bard of the hexale can't sing Li in the Grand Theatre. So when I know the characteristics of the target and all kinds of information, I will recommend the most suitable scavenger for you. Their price is more reasonable.

"Lane said that there are the best killers in the Nighthawk."

"They are not killers, but scavengers. We just help some people like you to clean the garbage. As for the so-called best, didn't you hear what I just said? The killer only has the most suitable, not the best.

"Lane said that there was a man named Youlun, known as the 'exiter'."

The fat man's expression obviously stagnated, and his whole body stiffened. After a while, he sighed and said, "Yes, the executioner Youlun, that guy can't be regarded as a human being. He is a devil in human skin. He is indeed the best. But his price is really outrageous. It's not something young people like you can afford..."

Before the fat man finished speaking, his words were interrupted by a move by Li. Li took out a small bag from his waist and threw it on the table. The small bag tilted on the table, and some shiny stones rolled out of his mouth.

The fat man stretched out his fat tongue, licked his lips, quickly took out a pair of copper tweezers, then took out a piece of monocular glasses and put them on the bridge of his nose. Then he took a deep breath and asked gently, "Do you mind if I take a look?"

"Please feel free."

The fat man then picked up a shiny stone with tweezers, held his breath and observed carefully.

After a while, the fat man's breath became thicker and heavier. He couldn't but be excited. What was in front of him was not an ordinary gem, but a diamond with the king of gems, and the diamond in front of him was extremely excellent in color, cut, and clarity. It was the most precious colorless diamond. It is almost perfect.

And there is still a bag of diamonds in that small pocket, and so on. Are all these diamonds in the pocket?

The fat man carefully put the diamond on the tweezers aside and picked up another one. After careful observation, the beautiful luster was touching. It turned out to be an equally perfect diamond. He simply put the tweezers into his pocket and took it out, and casually picked out one, which was equally perfect.

At this time, the fat man can already hear his heart roaring. Only one such gem is precious enough. As a result, the other party actually has a small bag of gems. How many such gems will there be in the bag? Fifty? No, no, this is a little too little; a hundred? No, it's a little conservative; three hundred? God the Emperor! What a huge wealth this is. The fat man only felt that the blood in his body began to pour into his head. He felt dizzy, and the world seemed to spin in front of him.

And Li just looked at the excited fat man in front of him, with a shallow smile on his face. But my heart has already blossomed. The indigenous people are really deceptive. Thinking that when the captain of the West met the indigenous people of the tribe, the two sides negotiated a fair deal. As a result, the captain exchanged glass beads for the gold jewelry of the indigenous people. Both sides expressed their satisfaction with such a transaction. And now, Li is doing the same thing.

Natural diamonds are not easy to form, even in the era of the universe. However, artificial gemstones are extremely cheap, and the price will not be higher than glass beads, and the modern technology is so advanced that it is more and more difficult to distinguish natural gemstones from artificial gemstones. In addition to those old people, only advanced modern instruments can tell whether the gemstones taken out by Li are natural.

Therefore, in any civilized world, people rarely trade with gems as currency. It is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and it is safe to use throne coins.

But in this medieval world full of indigenous people, this thing is very useful, in which artificial gems have never appeared. With the human craftsmanship of this world, it is impossible for them to make artificial gems, and there is no concept of natural or artificial in their minds.

So even if you are a jeweler in this world, you have to be fooled by Li.

Li took a sip of wine and asked, "Is this money enough to hire Youlun?"

"What are you kidding? So many diamonds are enough to hire me to kill my mother. Hahaha," the fat man stared at the diamond, and his eyes were full of greed. "Enough, no, it's enough, too much. Who do you need to kill, or simply let Yourun follow you? Let him kill whoever you don't like?"

"Then I'll pay the deposit first," Li said as he said and picked up his pocket. He pointed to the diamond that had just been appreciated by the fat man and put aside and said, "These three diamonds, two of which are the deposit for hiring Youlun, and the other one belongs to you. If there is a chance in the future, I may come to you again."
