NOVEL NEXT Chapter 34
Chapter 34: The Seal of Silver II
If the conversation is compared to a fight, the initiative in the battle at this time is undoubtedly in the hands of Yousser.
Previously, through a series of continuous questions and answers, Uther had already suppressed Rhode in terms of momentum.
According to Yusser’s idea, not to mention that only his family of merchants are going to the Sorrowful City at this time. The person who wants to become a tourist is a necromancer and has poor experience. Of course, he can ask for an increase.
The identity of the Necromancer is destined to be difficult for them to collude with others, but in Yusser’s memory, incidents of the Necromancer alone entrap the merchant group have also occurred from time to time. The business group brought a necromancer on the road, and it was inherently risky.
Because of his strength as a senior warrior, although Yousser is not particularly afraid of the necromancer in front of him, he is unwilling to involve too much with it. Unless the necromancer in front of him is willing to pay a large amount of gold, Uther will make him a tourist.
“Two hundred gold coins, what do you think?”
Youser gave his estimated price.
Rhode did not rush to reply, but began to think about a problem, one that Rhode had discovered before.
Seeing the necromancer in front of him seemed to be lost in thought, Usser was not anxious, but crossed his hands and looked at the necromancer in front of him, waiting for his answer.
After waiting for a while, Rod finished thinking, and said to Youser: “I have a few questions, I hope the head can answer them for me.”
“Just ask.”
At this time, due to the long waiting time, Usser also began to be a little impatient.
Youser knew that the purpose of the necromancer in front of him asking these questions was nothing more than to point out the shortcomings of the merchant group, so as to spend less travel expenses. A necromancer is still thinking about bargaining at this time, so it’s better to check if he has enough gold coins.
Rod asked: “Why did the Silver Seal Merchant Group go to the Sorrowful City?”
Hearing this question, Youser almost couldn’t help it, wondering why the necromancer in front of him had to ask such an obvious question.
“In order to trade.”
Rod then asked: “Since it is a trade, why go to the City of Sorrows during this period.”
Uther didn’t seem to understand, and asked Rod, “What do you mean?”
“According to the news I have learned, not long ago, a large business group went to the Sorrowful City.”
User frowned slightly. “so what?”
“A large business group went to the City of Sorrow, and while hiring a large number of guards, they would carry a large amount of goods in order to get the most benefit. These materials were sufficient for the City of Sorrow for a long time. This also led to the During this period of time, the rest of the business groups can get extremely low profits when they go to the Sorrowful City.”
As if not understanding, User said, “What does this mean?”
“Then I will ask you, why do you choose to go to the Sorrowful City when no other business group has gone to the Sorrowful City?”
Uther did not answer Rod’s question directly, but asked Rod instead: “So what about you? Two necromancers, why go to the Sorrowful City at this time?”
“To participate in the war.”
Rhode said these words in a flat tone, and Usser’s pupils shrank.
The purpose of Rhode’s questioning of these words to Uther was to confirm one thing. That is, according to Yusor’s existing intelligence, whether he knew that Diya was about to break out with Eri.
Although Uther did not answer Rhode directly, based on his reaction, it was clear that he had information about the war.
Regarding the information about the war, Uther would naturally not reveal any news until the necromancer in front of him knew it.
What surprised Youser was that in the process of collecting war intelligence, he spent a lot of money to confirm something from an old friend. In addition to his own analysis, it was only half-trusted, and the necromancer in front of him was obviously confessed. This war was allowed.
After reconfirming his own information from the necromancer in front of him, Yusser’s heart also became more determined.
Uther said to Rhodes: “You also know that because the war is about to break out, the Screaming City will need a lot of basic materials. Transporting weapons to the necromancer will naturally get more benefits.”
Rod replied: “Since you can get the news of the war, can the rest of the trade groups not be able to get it? If the war is about to start, the City of Sorrows will be the only large town on the border of Diya, with large trade groups everywhere. They will send supplies to the Screaming City, and the price of weapons and equipment will decrease.”
“As far as I know, the Silver Seal Merchant Group is only a small merchant group of about 20 people. How can it compete with a large merchant group of hundreds of people to deliver supplies.”
“Plus the risks that you may encounter when crossing the border, especially during this kind of war. The border is full of thieves and looters of various races. If you only transport weapons, I am afraid that you will not earn enough gold coins. It’s paid to the guard.”
“The goods transported by the trade group, terror is more than just weapons, how simple is it?”
Every time Rod said, Uther’s face became gloomy. At the end, Yusser’s face sank completely, but he still didn’t speak.
Rod continued: “From the time I first entered this camp, I felt something was wrong. There is a breath in this camp, which gives me a very familiar feeling…”
Rod stretched out his left hand, opened his palm, and said, “This is the material you really transported, isn’t it?”
Uther looked down and saw a rough-looking dark crystal lying in Lord’s palm. It was the undead crystal that Lord obtained in the tomb.
“Because of the abundant supplies of large trade groups, in order to be stable, they will not transport many soul crystals. The other small trade groups do not have the courage of yours. They purchased a large number of dead soul crystals as soon as they noticed the war.”
As Rhode’s voice fell, Uther smiled.
“This is just your guess. And I think other members of the merchant group should not welcome Necromancers.”
After speaking this sentence like a chasing order, Uther got up and did not look at Rhodes and the vampires, but walked towards the back of the camp.
“You said, how many gold coins the Thieves Guild is willing to pay for this information.”
Uther understood Lord’s meaning in an instant, and suddenly turned around to look at Lord who was still sitting in the chair.
Once the large quantities of Revenant Crystals are successfully delivered to Diya, waiting for the war to come, the price may increase several times.
For this reason, at the first time of confirming the war, Uther used all the savings of the merchant group to purchase the Death Crystal, and at the same time quickly went to Diya.
Youser tried to hide from his men, except for a few close friends, no one knew what the goods really were. In order to prevent leakage of news, he was besieged by thieves and necromancers.
If time is delayed further, the intelligence of the war will be confirmed. At that time, all trade routes will become chaotic. If you don’t bring high-level guards, it will not be so easy if you want to go to the Sorrowful City safely.
Once the news about Uther’s delivery of the Revenant Crystal is leaked, he will be besieged by thieves before he reaches the Screaming City, and even the official Necromancer will snatch it.
“you……”
“I just want to go to the Screaming City.” Rhodes said, looking at Yusher with a distressed expression on his face.
