Chapter 297 The Strange Little Beggar

Ward City, in the mercenary tavern.

After a moment of silence, the voices of the mercenaries onlookers gradually began to get louder.

In the eyes of some mercenaries, this "somewhat" handsome young mercenary may just be selling his harvest for the team he belongs to, and maybe his strength is not too strong.

But many experienced old mercenaries don't think so.

You must know that selling these Warcraft materials to the guild in the mercenary tavern will be priced down. If they are really from the mercenary group, it is impossible to arrange for someone to sell the materials in the mercenary tavern.

With such a large amount of material, there is almost only one possibility.

That is, the person in front of him doesn't care about the profits, he just wants to dispose of these materials faster and save trouble.

This is also convenient for selling Warcraft materials to the mercenary guild.

After all, for the sake of prestige, although the price given by the mercenary guild is not high, there is basically no case of deliberately falsely reporting the price.

This strange mercenary couldn't be a young disciple from a big family who came out for training.

Gradually, many mercenaries looked away and continued to brag with their friends, but they paid a little attention to the direction of the bar.

Li Si didn't pay attention to other people's looks. It was not the time when he had just arrived in Ice Peak City, and he still needed to hide his identity.

This can be regarded as Li Si's way of showing his strength, which will be useful for the next plan.

What's more, Li Si really doesn't care much about these Warcraft materials.

Li Si did not take out the most precious harvest of this long trip, such as the materials from the white dragon or the precious gems Li Si found in a cave.

Those are all good things, and Li Si plans to keep them for himself.

As for other materials, Li Si only kept a small part and planned to give them to friends in Bright Light City as gifts in the future.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at the waiter Theodore in front of him, Li Si knocked on the table and reminded.

"Sir, you have too much Warcraft material and my authority is not enough."

Theodore was stunned for a moment and then said immediately.

After all, he was just a waiter. Although he had a job of purchasing Warcraft materials from mercenaries, the prices of the Warcraft materials he had dealt with before were not high, and each transaction did not exceed one hundred gold coins.

The person in front of me brought out not only a large quantity, but also quite good quality, many of which were expensive.

Theodore just glanced briefly and saw two complete snow-white ice storm bear skins.

This is a good thing, and it is also one of the best-selling products in the Berdych Kingdom. A snow bear skin like this is worth thousands of gold coins.

As if afraid that Li Si would change his mind, Theodore said quickly:

"I'm going to find the steward now, please wait a moment."

Although his heart was bleeding, Theodore had no intention of hiding it.

Although the commission you will get if you report it to your supervisor will be smaller, looking at the exaggerated amount in front of you, even a part of the commission is enough to make you rich.

It would be bad if the mercenary changed his mind due to his own reasons.

Thinking of his senior's reminder, Theodore didn't dare to delay and ran up to the second floor of the tavern in a hurry.

Li Si didn't care and asked another waiter to bring him a glass of cold ale. He sat at the bar and drank it slowly.

Not long after, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the stairs to register.

A thin man in a black suit came down the stairs, Theodore following behind him.

When he got downstairs, he noticed the piles of Warcraft materials piled high in front of the bar, and his eyes froze for a moment.

But this one was obviously different, and he quickly reacted.

With just a glance, he walked towards Li Si sitting at the bar.

"Hello, I am Rudd, the steward of the mercenary tavern. I am glad that you choose to sell Warcraft materials here."

"I will arrange for someone to help you count the materials you want to sell. How about you go to the VIP room on the second floor with me to rest for a while?"

Steward Rude said with some respect that no matter who the target was, as long as it could bring such a big business, he would be his honored guest.

Li Si nodded and was led by Rude to the VIP room on the second floor.

Different from the tavern hall on the first floor, which still shows traces of being transformed from a warehouse, the VIP room on the second floor is quite luxuriously decorated, with dark red satin sofas patterned with gold patterns, and brown pine wood floors that have been carefully decorated. Polished, exuding a light and pleasant scent of rosin.

Behind Rude, there was a maid serving high-quality cold ale and several snacks.

A light mist of water condensed on the edge of the transparent glass, and the dark yellow liquid in it looked particularly attractive.

Most of the snacks are sashimi of various types of fish. The excellent knife skills cut into slices of different thicknesses according to the taste of different fish, which is just right for drinking.

This lassi is cooked. These are fish meat from cod, marlin, tuna, etc.

The colors of the fish are all different, and a few green vegetable leaves are placed underneath, which makes it look pretty with such an exquisite presentation.

The small bowl on the side also contains black sauce.

Seeing Li Si's concerned look, Rude also smiled and said:

"These are all caught by the fishing boats in the port. Although there are still many people who are not used to eating fish, it is novel and has a different flavor."

"This sauce is a special seasoning brought by the guild from the Berdych Kingdom. You can taste it."

There was also some pride in Rude's words, implicitly showing the strength of the mercenary union.

After all, as a newly established mercenary guild in Ward City, it almost represents the official management of mercenaries from all over the Dillon Kingdom. The meaning is different after all.

"Um."

Li Si just responded lightly, picked up a piece of saury, dipped it lightly in the sauce and put it in his mouth.

The taste of saury is not the same as that of other sea fish. It is firmer and more fragrant. It tastes good when seasoned with soy sauce in its previous life.

These are also the kinds of sea fish that Li Si liked to eat when he was adventuring at sea in his previous life.

Rude didn't care at all when he encountered a soft nail. He still smiled and found a topic to chat with.

Li Si also chatted with each other, and the scene was not quiet.

After a while, after Li Si finished finishing the plate of golden swordfish, he took a sip of the cold cold ale.

After wiping his mouth, Li Si looked at Rude sitting opposite and said:

"I have something I want to trouble you to take care of."

"This is also the purpose of selling materials in the Mercenary Guild."

"oh?"

Rude was also a little interested and sat up slightly.

"I have been traveling in the Kingdom of Dillon before, and I just passed through the Correa Hills."

"This is also because I heard that Ward City can take a boat to the Berdych Kingdom in the south. I was more interested, so I rushed over."

"However, I don't have much experience in sailing on the sea. I would like to ask Rude to help me keep an eye out for any more reliable ships that will set off to the south in the near future."

Li Si nodded and stated the purpose of his coming here.

"That's it"

"I would like to ask, Mr. Lis, are you planning to take a boat to the Berdych Kingdom alone?"

"Yes."

Rude nodded after receiving the affirmation, and his evaluation of Li Si's strength improved a little more.

Rude was not surprised by Li Si's request. To be honest, most of the mercenaries who came to Ward City recently were because they could go to the Berdych Kingdom.

Although Rude was curious, the mercenary in front of him was capable of crossing the Correa Hills alone, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to cross the Los Snow Mountains.

However, Rude was very professional and did not inquire in depth.

"There have been many merchant ships heading to the Berdych Kingdom recently, but most of them are heading to Berdych for the first time. Although the crews are all well-trained, they are still not that reassuring."

"Since you said so, Li Si, I won't hide it from you."

"It's better to take those merchant ships that have successfully returned from the Berdych Kingdom. They are all old people with a lot of experience."

"But those merchant ships all belong to the big chamber of commerce and don't employ many mercenaries."

"Because it is safer, the spots on the ship are very popular among mercenaries."

Rude thought for a moment and said seriously.

There was no reason why he wasn't serious. The meaning of the mercenary in front of him was obvious. He sold those Warcraft materials at a low price in order to obtain a reliable merchant ship quota.

If it doesn't go well, the deal will naturally be scrapped.

After all, he had just arrived in Ward City. If he wanted to save time and find a suitable merchant ship quickly, it would definitely be easier than asking the Mercenary Guild for help.

"I know, that's why I'm here, isn't it?"

A smile appeared on Li Si's face and he looked at Rude, the steward.

"Then please help me look for those merchant ships returning from the Berdych Kingdom."

"You also know that I'm not short of money. It's no problem even if I buy a spot with gold coins."

"I see."

Rude breathed a sigh of relief. If he really wanted to find the recently departed merchant ship, it would indeed be more troublesome.

But it's just trouble. Isn't this the time when the favors he usually accumulates are used?

In comparison, the transaction commission from the old man in front of me is even more real gold coins!

After a while, Theodore, the waiter just now, came up and handed the counted documents to Li Si.

Li Si just glanced at it and saw that the final converted price was 13,000 gold coins. There was no point in nodding.

Li Si did not charge the gold coins directly, but asked Rude to convert them into low-level magic gems and elemental crystals.

Few people carry a large amount of gold coins with them, even if they have space to store equipment.

Because the actual situation of each country is different, it is almost impossible to replace precious metals with banknotes like Li Si did in his previous life.

Even the goddess of wealth can't do it.

However, I heard that there are similar existences in some areas of other continents, but Li Si has never been there and has only heard about them.

After Lis left, Rudd did not immerse himself in the joy of getting the commission like Theodore did.

The things that need to be done have not been completed, and the money is a bit hot to get.

Rude did not doubt Li Si's own strength and the forces that might exist behind him. Those were just part of the reasons.

Use money to do things, take the money you deserve, and don't do unnecessary things. This is how he can become the director of the mercenary guild.

Li Si came out of the mercenary union and didn't know where he was going for a while.

The remaining time is to wait for Rudd to help him find a merchant ship and arrive at the Berdych Kingdom as smoothly as possible.

The Berdych Kingdom was at a time when the war was extremely tense. Faced with the invasion of the Fes Kingdom, it was initially caught off guard and barely organized a defense in the second year.

This is also inseparable from the corruption of the upper echelons of the Berdych Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Fes directly occupied most of the western part of the Kingdom of Berdych, but the speed was inevitably slowed down.

After all, it is a newly occupied territory of an enemy country. The Kingdom of Fes intends to occupy it for a long time, and it will not retreat after looting. Naturally, it needs to allocate manpower to appease the people in the territory and stabilize the territory.

This is because the royal family of the Berdych Kingdom has lost the hearts of the people, and not many people are willing to fight for the nobles who only know how to exploit them.

Counting the time, the army of the Kingdom of Fes is about to advance to the Gedo Valley, which is the richest place in the Kingdom of Berdych and where the capital of King Berdych, Huangshi City, is located.

However, that was also where the Berdych Kingdom was the strongest. The Fes Kingdom's army had been in a stalemate there for a long time, so Li Si didn't have to worry about not being able to catch up.

Just when Li Si was wandering around the streets of Ward City, preparing to find a hotel to rest, he noticed a somewhat special existence.

When Li Si was about to walk into a passable hotel on the roadside, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and noticed a small figure squatting in the darkness in the corner.

He looked like a ten-year-old child. He was only wearing a single piece of clothing that could cover his body. The true nature of the clothing could no longer be seen. It was covered with mud from the street, and bits of black muddy water were still dripping from his body. .

The weather has not completely warmed up yet, and when the sea breeze blows, the little figure hides and shivers.

beggar?

its not right!

Li Si was a little curious. Ward City was a port city that had not been established for a long time and there were no indigenous people.

What's more, this place is far away from other cities in the Dillon Kingdom. It should be impossible for a beggar to have the ability to cross the Correa Hills to reach Ward City.

Let alone a child!

Li Si thought for a while and prepared to go forward and ask.

This was also his habit in the game in his previous life. Encountering such abnormal things often meant hidden missions.

This is the fun part of the game!

Li Si simply did not enter the guest room, but walked towards the corner where the child was.

As if he noticed someone approaching, the little beggar raised his head, his dark face full of vigilance, but his eyes full of fear and exhaustion.

Seeing Li Si approaching, he stood up and tried to escape.

But soon he found that his body was out of control, and his toes were even more than ten centimeters above the ground, and his body was floating in the air.

"The response is quite fast!"

Li Si became more curious and used [Mage's Hand] to lift the little beggar in mid-air.

"What are you going to do?"

The distinctive shrill voice of a child rang out, struggling but unable to do anything.

Li Si stood in front of him and suddenly felt that the little beggar in front of him looked familiar.

Um?

Which big shot in the future is it?
