Chapter 529: Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man
??Chapter 529 There must be a brave man under the reward
??There are two dark brown wine tables in the corner of the tavern, surrounded by a dozen Seles people.
Most of these Seles people are tall and sturdy, armed with bows and swords, and have huge leather bags beside them. When Zuo Yi came over, they were drinking and eating meat in big bowls, chatting loudly and lively .
??Although Zuo Yi didn't understand the language spoken by these tough men, he could tell from various signs that the other party should be a traveling businessman.
?? Traveling merchants have different names in different planes, such as traveling merchants, traveling merchants, foot vendors, etc., but no matter which plane the traveling merchants are, they are not weak, and they possess a certain degree of force.
Because they are small in scale, they travel hundreds of thousands of miles, go deep into the backcountry and border areas, and risk being robbed by bandits and wild beasts to earn a job. Blood hard earned money.
Weak chickens will never be able to do this job. Many people tend to confuse merchants with adventurers. In fact, the two identities are interchangeable. When Zuo Yi was in the world of Sadya, he also did low-cost buying. A high-selling merchant.
??Although the strength of the merchants cannot be too strong, they have rich experience in traveling all over the world and are very well-informed.
?? "Hi there."
?? Zuo Yi's greeting made all the Seles merchants stop joking, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at him.
?? Doubt, curiosity, vigilance, seriousness...
??A middle-aged man with a face full of wind and frost stood up and asked neither humble nor overbearing: "May I ask what you want?"
??His Chinese is not very standard, but he is quite proficient.
??Language proficiency is a standard skill for businessmen.
??The words of the middle-aged Seles merchant were polite yet cautious.
??Although the Dragon City Fortress is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Seles Kingdom, the Seles people living here know that this city belongs to the Daxia people.
??No one from Seles dared to provoke a Daxia person easily, because all Daxia people are professionals with extraordinary power, and the one who controls the Dragon City Fortress is still a powerful person at the national level!
??In the entire Kingdom of Seles, there are only three strong men.
??Of course, the leader of the merchants didn't think he needed to bow down to Zuo Yi, because he was also a professional.
?? It's just that it doesn't matter to Zuo Yi whether the other party is arrogant or servile. He smiled and asked, "I want to ask, which of you has been to Winter City?"
?? "Winter City?"
??The middle-aged man was stunned, hesitated for a while before answering: "I went there once ten years ago."
"very good."
??Zuo Yi nodded and said, "I want to hire you to take me to Winter City, how much does it cost?"
?? "Do you want to go to Winter City?"
??The middle-aged man was taken aback suddenly: "It will take at least three months to get to Winter City from here, and it must go smoothly."
??Paused, he shook his head and said: "Your Excellency, I'm sorry, my partners and I may not be able to help you with this, because we will leave Dragon City Fortress tomorrow, you..."
??His voice suddenly got stuck in his throat.
??Because at this time Zuo Yi handed a gold brick in front of him: "This is your reward."
??Although the middle-aged man did not see clearly how Zuo Yi "transformed" into a gold brick, this did not prevent his will from being defeated by this charmingly shining metal in an instant.
??As an outstanding merchant, he can tell at a glance that the gold brick in Zuo Yi's hand is in the bank of Dragon City Fortress, and it can be exchanged for at least 3,000 Seles universal gold coins!
??Three thousand pieces of gold!
??A middle-aged man travels in the wind and rain, risking his life to travel outside, even if he saves so much money for ten years, how can he not be tempted?
??With this money, he no longer needs to be a merchant, he can retire directly to his hometown, buy a farm and ask a wife to have a few more children, so that he can live comfortably in the future.
??In fact, those companions behind the middle-aged man were also dumbfounded.
?? Someone muttered to himself: "It can't be fake, right?"
??The middle-aged man couldn't help swallowing, and asked cautiously, "Your Excellency, how many people do you need?"
??Three thousand gold coins are enough to hire a large mercenary group, and he finally didn't get carried away by the huge amount of money and thought of the risk.
?? No matter how much money you have, you have to die to get it!
?? "Only you are enough."
??Zuo Yi saw through the other party's thoughts at a glance, and said, "You only need to lead the way, you don't need to protect me."
?? He held the gold brick in his hand, kneaded a golden ball three or two times like kneading dough, and handed it to the other party.
??The middle-aged man couldn't help but gasped.
?? He can also knead a gold brick into a golden ball, but he can't do it to Zuo Yi's level.
??The golden ball that Zuo Yi handed over was completely round, with a smooth and flawless surface, which can only be achieved by repeated grinding and polishing under normal circumstances.
??Zuo Yi directly rubbed it out with his hands.
??The image of Zuo Yi immediately became tall and mysterious in his eyes.
??The middle-aged man took the golden ball without any hesitation and said, "I accept this task!"
?? If there is no gold, no matter how extravagant Zuo Yi said, he will only have doubts and dare not agree easily. Now that Zuo Yi pays the reward first, why is he afraid?
?? To put it bluntly, he is not worth three thousand gold coins.
"very good."
??Zuo Yi was not surprised, the so-called great reward must have a brave man, 10Kg of gold can knock down too many people.
?? "Get ready, we will set off tomorrow morning."
??Zuo Yi originally planned to ask Fan Hailiu for a map when he arrived at Dragon City Fortress, and then flew to Winter City by himself.
?? As a result, Fan Hailiu went to Seles to make his plan fail, so he simply found a guide.
??Now he plans to fly to Winterfell with this guide. Although the extra burden will definitely slow down the speed a lot, it won't take much time.
"OK."
??The middle-aged man said quickly: "I live upstairs, and I will wait for you here tomorrow morning."
??The upper four floors of the Bronze Dragon Tavern are all hotel rooms, and most of the tourists staying there are businessmen like them.
?? "By the way, my lord."
?? He added: "My name is Bonn."
??It was weird when he thought about it just now, Zuo Yi gave him so much money directly without even asking his name.
?? I am not afraid that he will steal the money and run away.
??Of course it is impossible to run away. Zuo Yi has the bearing of a superior, and if he offends this person who is probably a high-level figure in Daxia, his end will be unimaginable!
?? "Bonn."
??Zuo Yi nodded: "Then we will see you tomorrow morning."
??He doesn't intend to stay here as there are better hotels nearby.
?? Early the next morning, when Zuo Yi came to the Bronze Dragon Tavern again, Bonn was already waiting at the door with his luggage.
"grown ups…"
??He bowed to Zuo Yi and asked, "Shall we set off now?"
?? Woo! Woo! Woo~
??Before Zuo Yi answered, suddenly a deep and powerful horn sounded in the fortress!
