Anyone who has been to the Thieves Guild knows that here they not only provide stealing services, but also buy and sell information, and every message is clearly marked with a price, and no counter-offers are allowed.
According to the level of the news, it is divided into four levels. The latest ordinary news is worth 5 gold a piece, the high-end news is 50 gold a piece, the confidential news is 500 gold a piece, and the top secret news is of course 5,000 gold. If it is not the latest news,
, then only charge half the price. This is how general information charges are. Of course, if the value of the information is particularly high, it will not be sold according to the set price. If there are many buyers, there will even be a public bidding auction. Here you can also
You can buy out a certain piece of news at a price ten times higher than the original price. As long as the news is bought out here, they will never sell it to anyone else. This is their professional ethics.
According to the number on the message book, Lu Songke took out a three-meter-cubic wooden box from the room at the back. When he opened the box, he saw that there were small paper rolls inside.
The numbers are recorded on the rolls, and the openings are sealed with sealant.
Bing Zhixie handed him the 8 gold coins and magic crystal coins that he had prepared. The box and paper roll could be taken away, but seeing that there was no one here, Bing Zhixie just looked here. He chose the most expensive
Judging from the news, those with the word "secret" stamped on the seal are confidential information, those with the word "high" are high-level news, and those with the word "common" are of course ordinary news.
Bing Zhixie opened the paper roll and unfolded it into a 40 cm square piece of paper, which was very thin and slippery but made of good material. The paper was large, but there was very little content written on it, just a short sentence.
‘Archaeologist Ali Kule made important discoveries in his research on ancient ruins and was invited to the Holy Garden by scholars from the Holy Garden. Date of information provided: May 2, 7299.’
The content of the scroll is very concise, just this sentence is 250 gold coins. Bing Zhixie shook his head and picked up the second scroll:
'On August 17, 7302, an earthquake in Xinhe City, Liyue State, caused a mountain collapse. An ancient ruins were shaken out, along with a large number of ancient gold coins. After local officials embezzled the ancient gold coins, they did not report the incident.
To the government of Liyue Kingdom. It is speculated that the ancient gold coins discovered this time are at least 28 tons, and they are still being excavated. Date of information provided: August 29, 7302.'
"It's news from last year." Bing Zhixie threw the paper aside and took out the third volume to read.
This intelligence information may be of little use to Bing Zhixie, but it may not be useful to others.
The Thieves Guild's trading information has basically been confirmed to be true and reliable. They will not sell information that is untrue or unconfirmed.
Green Pine put the change of 50 silver coins on the table and asked Bing Zhixie, "Isn't there any news you want?"
"Yeah." Some of the scrolls contained a lot of content, and some contained very little. Bing Zhixie looked at it and said, "I've read some of the news in it. Please help me get the news about the rune stones."
, not before April last year.”
"Rune stones? There are quite a few rune stones." Green Song Ke Ren checked the file and said.
Bing Zhixie took out a golden scroll and placed it on the table, still looking at the news about the ancient ruins one after another.
Lusong Keren: "It seems that you come to us more often to buy information on these aspects." As he said that, he ran to the back room to get the information Bing Zhixie needed.
Half an hour passed. Bing Zhixie looked at it for a long time and rubbed his eyes: "Can you brighten the light?"
Green Song Keren lit up two more crystal lamps next to him: "Why, there's still nothing you want?"
Bing Zhixie said: "Take out all the information you have about the archeology before the Holy Garden Calendar and the ancient magic texts. I want them all."
"Don't want the ones from last year?"
"Yes."
Lu Songke shook his head and sighed: "I've seen a lot of people buying news in batches, but I've never seen anyone like you, buying so much in one go."
"Wait a minute." Bing Zhixie stopped him and asked, "Do you have any information about 'Long Ling' here?"
"Dragon scales? Are they from green dragons or red dragons?" Green Song Keren asked.
"No." Bingzhixie said, "It's a kind of rune stone, Long Ling's rune stone."
Green Song Keren thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it, and I don't remember it being in the file."
"Oh." Bing Zhixie nodded. He was not very disappointed, because he had received such an answer before when he asked for information at the Thieves Guild.
Lusong Keren took out the scroll Bing Zhixie wanted and said, "Looking at the information you want, is it possible that your family is involved in archeology?"
"No, I'm just interested in this."
Bing Zhixie doesn't want to say it, and Lusong Keren doesn't care either. Customers always have their own secrets.
Bing Zhixie stuffed all the notes she had read back into the box: "I can't finish these, so I'd better take them away and read them slowly. Thank you for the wine."
"Haha, next time you come, I'll treat you to a drink." Lusong Keren said with a smile.
Bing Zhixie paid the bill and prepared to leave with the forty-five magic crystal coins she had found. As soon as she walked to the door, she suddenly remembered something and walked back.
"Is there anything else?" Lusong Keren asked when he saw him leaving and returning.
Bing Zhixie said: "There is something else I forgot to ask. Have you lived here for many years?"
Lu Songkeren recalled: "It must have been thirteen years."
"Have you ever heard of the 'Dark Compass'?" Bing Zhixie asked.
Green Song Keren shook his head: "No."
"What about the ancient magician?" Bing Zhixie asked, "Have you ever heard of the story of the ancient magician Nissen Hera?"
Green Song Keren shook his head again: "No. Let me check the files for you to see if there is any information about this."
"Um."
Green Pine checked for a while: "There is nothing about the 'Dark Compass' in the file, but there is some information about the magician family. The history of these families can be traced back thousands of years. Is this what you need?"
"No, thank you."
Lusong Keren said: "Where did you hear about the Dark Compass and the story of the ancient magician? Maybe it was someone else's nonsense."
"Maybe, hehe. Then, goodbye."
"goodbye."
After leaving the Thieves Guild, Bing Zhixie took out the SS-level mercenary mission sheet:
"Mercenary mission level: SS-level commissioned mission; Mission conditions: Find the 'Dark Compass' of the ancient magician Nissen Hera; Mission reward: 350,000 mercenary work points, 1.5 million gold coins and any material rewards (discuss with the mission client
); Task recipient: S-class mercenary Celeste Bingzhixie; Task acceptance location: Dragonrider Seventh District Mercenary Union, Debiles City, Demon Moon Empire; Union code: MY0004; Task return location: Write a letter
After contacting the client at the 'XXXX' address, it can be completed at any mercenary union; detailed conditions and information of the task: 5100 years ago, the magician Nissen Hera, who had learned ancient magic, was hunted down to the Zangusi River Basin (today's
Tubat volcano area) is missing. Give me the dark compass that found him, and I will thank you profusely."
Bing Zhixie looked at the task list and said: "Except for knowing that this magician named Nissen Hera, who knew ancient magic, disappeared in this area 5100 years ago, there is no other information. How can we find it like this?
It seems that this mission is not easy to complete." He looked up at the crowd on the street and put the mission sheet back into his pocket casually. For him now, whether he can complete this SS-level mission is only secondary.
It doesn't matter if it can't be completed.
"Go to the bar and ask around. Maybe you can find out something there." Bing Zhixie looked around, looking for the bar. But after taking only two steps, he stopped again, holding his stomach and feeling a little uncomfortable.
