After Angdu heard Su Ge's idea, he was dumbfounded and said:
"You're not serious, are you? You mean, you want to find an assassin, and then strike first to find the assassin who wants to assassinate you?"
"This is not my idea, this is Akins' idea, but I think there is some truth in what he said." Sugar admitted frankly.
"Which part makes sense?"
"The part about taking the initiative. I think we should not be so passive and proactively launch investigations, or we can restrain the other party's actions and make them fearful and not dare to do anything too extreme to us."
"So, what are you going to do?" Angdu asked.
"I want to find a bodyguard, someone as capable as you. It can be a little more expensive. He can hide by my side for at least one day, no, three days, and give him a shock when the assassin appears.
and blow.”
As he said this, Su Ge's voice also weakened, and he looked at Angdu with questioning eyes.
Angdu sighed and said:
"I understand your thinking. It's probably because you saw the assassin retreating after Bishop Credin appeared, right?"
"But you know, there are only a few people in Faerun who can reach the level of Bishop Credin. Even if these people can accept your commission, do you have enough money?
?”
Angdu looked at Su Ge who fell silent and continued:
"And, judging from your performance, I think you haven't found the right candidate yet, right?"
Su Ge nodded helplessly, "Yes, I went to the bar recommended by Xina and asked the relevant people, but from the current point of view, there is not yet. Although there are free bounty hunters, the other party refused, saying this
It's not his area of expertise."
"Besides bodyguards, have you considered any other methods?"
"I have thought about buying an extraordinary weapon, but because my current funds are limited, and considering the extraordinary effect, I think that an extraordinary person who can exert greater effects in a short period of time may be better.
A choice.”
"Well, of course, I don't have any money either."
As he said this, Su Ge and Ang both fell silent at the same time.
At this time, Angdu noticed that Su Ge had been looking at the time intentionally or unintentionally, so he asked: "Is there anything you care about?"
"Huh? No, it's not the people from that bar. They said that there will be an underground exchange meeting for extraordinary beings tonight. Because the time is coming soon, so I'm a little concerned about it."
"In that case, how about we go and take a look together?" Angdu suggested.
"Go and see? Let's go together?"
"Yes, since there is no way to solve this problem now, let's go take a look and change our mood. Maybe we can find some valuable information or inspiration in other people's exchanges."
Su Ge was a little hesitant, but after Angdu's repeated persuasion, he set off.
In the blink of an eye, the three people arrived at the East Second District. Su Ge looked at the stars in the sky and prayed for the smooth operation.
Two streets away from the Hunter Bar, Angdu suddenly grabbed Su Ge and said:
"Go on your own, the two of us are waiting for you outside."
"Myself?" Su Ge was confused, "Akins isn't going too?"
"Actually, I want to go, but it seems that I have to stay here." Akins said helplessly as Ondu held his arm tightly.
"Go and relax. We will stay outside and support you at any time. There will be no danger."
With that said, Angdu took out all the money on his body and motioned to Akins on the side. Finally, under Suger's doubtful eyes, Angdu handed all the money to Suger and said:
"Take it, this is all our savings. If you encounter something suitable in it, don't hesitate. Many times, people miss a lot of good things because of their hesitation."
I don't know why, but holding a handful full of change, Su Ge felt very complicated, always feeling like he was about to step into the execution ground.
It was in this complicated mood that Su Ge came to the Hunter Bar at night and pushed open the door.
A strong smell of alcohol hit his face, accompanied by waves of heat, and the aroma of oak cork. All the flavors mixed together and suddenly penetrated into Sugar's nose.
Even though he had been fully prepared mentally, Su Ge was still shocked by everything in front of him.
"Are all the bars in the world the same?" Su Ge thought helplessly.
In front of him was a hunter's bar that was completely opposite to what it looked like during the day.
All the seats on the first floor were occupied, and the sounds of wine clinking in glasses, cheers, cheers, shouts, cries, and even schadenfreude and ridicule filled all the space on the first floor of the Hunter Bar.
.
This place, which seemed deserted during the day, became extremely lively.
Su Ge ignored the people who were drinking next to him, slowly came to the bar, looked at Old Henry, and said:
"It seems like business here is really good."
"Hehehe, thank you for your compliment. For people in our industry, there is nothing more proud than this."
Old Henry put down the wine glass he was wiping and said:
"You are really on time. My dear guest, the place below is now ready. If you have no questions, please follow me downstairs."
"That's the purpose of my trip." Su Ge responded politely.
With that said, Su Ge followed Old Henry to the underground floor, and in one of the private rooms, he put on a black robe that could completely cover his body, and then put on an iron mask that completely covered his face.
After doing all this, judging from the appearance, it was completely impossible to determine the identity of the person under the black robe.
Sugar appreciated Old Henry's preparation very much.
Old Henry just responded with a smile, then walked to the deepest part of the room, pushed open a bookshelf close to the wall, and revealed the dark tunnel behind it.
Without any verbal communication, Su Ge followed Old Henry and dived into the dark tunnel. After a long distance, Su Ge's eyes lit up and he found that he had arrived at a place very similar to the underground of the Black Cuttlefish Bar.
At this time, seven or eight strangers dressed in black had gathered in this space. All of them were dressed in the same black robes as Su Ge, and they also had the same texture and different patterns on their faces.
iron mask.
Just as Su Ge was sizing up his surroundings, Old Henry turned around and stepped back. Almost at the same time, in this underground space, a man standing in the center made a deep voice.
"Okay, the last guest has arrived, let's start today's meeting."
Su Ge naturally found a place where no one was around, leaned against the wall, and tried to keep everyone in sight at the same time. Then he concentrated and began to listen to the man's speech.
Although this was the first time for Su Ge to participate in the underground extraordinary exchange meeting in Faerun, he was very experienced. After simply observing for a period of time, Su Ge discovered that this place was basically a simple "world" meeting.
Everything done here is the same as that mysterious space, commissioned release, material exchange, intelligence exchange, information buying and selling... everything is so similar.
Perhaps after experiencing the experience of struggling on the edge of life and death like the "World" conference, Su Ge found that everything was extremely simple when he came to this ordinary underground exchange meeting.
He stood nearby and listened, and even felt that the atmosphere was a bit cordial.
The exchange meeting was going smoothly, but Brother Su Ge noticed that the person standing in the middle of the meeting was presiding over it.
Before that, he had always thought that the woman named Qin he had met before would preside over the meeting.
I have to say that the woman's temperament left a very deep impression on Su Ge. However, after arriving at the Hunter Bar today, Su Ge did not observe as carefully as usual, so he did not know where Qin had gone.
"So, is anyone still preparing to issue new commissions? If not, we have to move to the next step." The man standing in the middle of the host said.
As soon as the man finished speaking, a short man in black robe next to him raised his hand and said in a hoarse voice like two stones rubbing against each other:
"A complete piece of tree rhizome should be fresh enough."
"Damn it, there are so many extraordinary people here, but no one can get this material?"
If you say this, it will easily arouse public outrage. This unknown friend... Su Ge looked on with cold eyes and laughed in his heart.
The man standing in the middle and presiding over paused, looked at the short man in black robe who spoke, and said:
"You also said that it is a complete piece of tree rhizome, and it must be fresh enough."
"You have to know that there is almost no fresh stock of this kind of thing in human society now. If you want fresh ones, you can only go to the forests and mountains to find the tree people hiding and living there.
and fight them."
"Then, you can get a fresh treant root from them, of course, if you have the ability to come back alive."
"If I had that ability, would I still come here and issue some bullshit commission?" The short black-robed man seemed to have a quick temper and was not afraid of offending anyone at all, and said:
"Now, I will increase the reward by 10 pounds on top of the original quotation. If someone can find a complete tree rhizome, it doesn't need to be fresh, just a complete tree rhizome."
Adding to the original reward, if Sugar remembers correctly, the price should now be 100 pounds.
100 pounds to buy a stale tree rhizome. This money is enough to cover the expenses of a middle-class family in Faerûn for half a year.
After seeing that no one spoke, the short black-robed man fell silent.
Seeing that the time was right, Su Ge snorted softly, then lowered his voice and said:
