Chapter 3390 Dispute
In other words, in Xiaohong's opinion, Angel and others did not just pass by the Sin Merchant, but at least had a brief contact.
Laplace and I had contact with the Sin Merchant? Could it be someone we had contacted during this period?
Hearing Xiaohong's words, Angel frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
According to the information provided by the Dog Butler and Xiaohong, the Sin Merchant is most likely a human like the Rice God.
Moreover, the Sin Merchant also came from the Savage Realm, or in other words, he had been to the Savage Realm.
Who could it be?
After a moment, Angel's eyes suddenly shrank.
A figure really appeared in his mind, and this person perfectly met this series of conditions, and this person was... the parrot.
At the beginning, they met the parrot in the free trade zone outside the siege party.
The parrot claimed to be a businessman and had been in a void business caravan.
In terms of professional positioning, the parrot and the "Sin Merchant" are the same.
As for the origin of the parrot, Angel also knew a thing or two.
Previously, the parrot had inadvertently said some remarks related to "pure blood and blood source", which made Angel realize that his position was very different from that of the bloodline wizards in the Southern Region.
The parrot's position on "pure blood and blood source" was more extreme, belonging to "position first, ideology in command", which was completely different from the mainstream thought in the Southern Region, but shared the same position with the bloodline wizards in the Savage Realm.
This also made Angel doubt whether the parrot came from the Savage Realm.
However, the parrot denied that it came from the Savage Realm, but did not deny that it had never been to the Savage Realm.
Even Angel remembered that 80% of the parrot's product names were related to blood, and more than half of them involved the Savage Realm.
If nothing unexpected happened, the parrot was likely to have stayed in the Savage Realm for a long time.
As a businessman and a human being, he had also stayed in the Savage Realm. The most important thing is that Angel and others did have a long contact with the parrot.
Doesn't this perfectly fit the image of a "sin merchant"?
Of course, these conditions still cannot completely tie the parrot to the sin merchant. They are only speculations and cannot be confirmed.
But based on personal subjective thoughts, if nothing unexpected happens, Angel thinks that the sin merchant pursued by the rice god is most likely the parrot.
Angel did not express his thoughts, but asked Xiaohong where the six coordinates with the strongest smell she found were.
For this reason, Angel also used illusion to simulate a model sand table of a siege party.
It is not exquisite, just a rough appearance, after all, Angel does not know the internal structure of Crystal City.
Xiaohong also marked six coordinates on the sand table according to her own taste.
When Angel looked at the coordinates, he sighed in his heart... Sure enough, there was no escape, the sin merchant was most likely the parrot.
Because three of the six coordinates were in the free trade market that Angel had experienced before.
Moreover, the parrot's boarding shop was also circled in it.
From this evidence alone, there is basically no escape.
As for why there are still a few coordinates with residual breath, it is likely that the parrot has been there before, leaving some breath.
Angel's eyes did not deliberately hide the change, even the most innocent Xiaohong also noticed that Angel's expression was strange.
"It seems that Mr. Angel has a clue?" The dog butler looked at Angel.
Although the dog butler did not have the ability to read minds at this time, his eyes still made Angel feel that his heart was exposed.
Others also looked at Angel, waiting for his answer.
Angel was silent for a moment and nodded: "I probably know who the sin merchant is."
Angel did not intend to hide it. Under the attention of everyone, he told the parrot's information completely.
After listening to Angel's story, the dog butler asked: "So, you and the parrot are just a relationship between sellers and customers?"
If there is really only a simple buying and selling relationship, there is no need to worry about affecting Angel and Laplace, so that Xiaohong will be much easier to deal with the follow-up.
However, things are not as simple as the dog butler thought.
Angel shook his head: "It's not just a relationship between buyers and buyers, we also have a contractual relationship with the parrot..."
The dog butler and Xiaohong all looked over: "Contract?"
Angel nodded and roughly explained the contract he had signed with the parrot before.
The parrot wanted to leave the mirror area as soon as possible, but had no way. He finally saw hope when he met Angel and others.
He asked Angel to take him out of the daytime mirror area in exchange for his goods and intelligence.
After thinking about it, Angel and Laplace agreed to the parrot's request and signed a contract with the parrot...
The dog butler heard this and whispered: "If it's just this kind of contract, it doesn't affect anything."
In the dog butler's view, Angel only promised to take the parrot away as soon as possible, but did not promise to protect the parrot. If the parrot was hunted by others before leaving, and if the parrot was forced to break the contract after being arrested, these have nothing to do with Angel and others from the perspective of the contract.
As long as there is no bond between "friendship", it is completely possible to exploit loopholes in the contract.
Angel sighed: "That's what he said, but the parrot has already paid the price, and he gave a lot..."
Angel got the "Mystery Box of Granny Kokoro", the birthstone, the Polygonum fossil, and the information about the mysterious object from the parrot.
In other words, the parrot had already given the reward in advance.
And the value of the rewards that Angel received was extremely high. If it was settled with magic crystals, the total amount might even exceed six figures.
The value of "Mystery Box of Granny Kokoro" was even more difficult to determine.
With such a huge payment, it was really hard for Angel to convince himself to "rob the thieves" and take advantage of the contract.
Moreover, not only Angel got the reward, but Laplace and Luigi also got the reward.
Luigi even owed the parrot a small favor.
In order to get the "heart" of Behemoth, Luigi ran back to the stall area and bought back the Nakbi.
The seller of Nakbi was a Piruxiu. If he saw Luigi coming back to buy Nakbi, he might raise the price. Luigi asked the parrot to play a trick and buy Nakbi for him.
In the end, the parrot bought Nakbi for only two condensed crystals and gave it directly to Luigi.
Although this favor was small, it was still a favor.
After listening to it, the dog butler also felt a little complicated. If it was just a relationship of interest, it would be easy to solve, but if it was mixed with favors, and it was a favor owed by Luigi, it would be difficult to judge.
The dog butler looked at Angel and then at the rabbit girl: "So how should we deal with this matter now?"
"Should Xiaohong tell the God of Rice the coordinates of the sin merchant?"
Angel also felt that it was a bit difficult to deal with.
He personally had some good feelings about the actions of the God of Rice. At the beginning, the God of Rice saw him, a human, at a gathering in the mirror domain and was worried that he would get into trouble. Adhering to the sentiment of "being human", he gave him a badge. If Angel encountered anything, he could contact him through the badge.
Although Angel did not crush the badge afterwards, and it was not considered that he owed the God of Rice a favor, if we look into the friendship, it was also considered that he owed him a favor.
Angel also had no ill feelings towards the parrot.
Although the parrot had some extreme remarks on bloodline theory, Angel was not a bloodline wizard after all, and had no ideology, so he was very receptive to these remarks.
The parrot's other remarks and behaviors were basically biased towards the white wizard.
Angel himself had a high tolerance for white wizards, and through his super perception of emotions, Angel could confirm that the parrot had no ill will towards them.
It even showed the kindness of "meeting the same kind in a foreign land".
Both parties had a certain good impression on Angel.
But who would have thought that the two of them were actually in a "police and thief" relationship, and this relationship was almost impossible to reverse.
If Angel had not signed a contract with the parrot, he could have completely ignored this matter and let them decide at their own discretion, and the result was their own business.
But he had a contract with the parrot, and he also knew about this, so he had to make a choice.
This choice can be "ignoring" or "paying attention". In short, an attitude needs to be shown.
Only by giving a clear attitude can the dog butler and Xiaohong make the next decision.
Angel pondered for a moment and finally decided...
to go offline.
...
Angel originally planned to go offline to discuss with Laplace. After all, it was not only him who signed the contract with the parrot, but also Laplace and Luigi.
However, Angel thought about it and decided to let the bunny girl go offline.
If he went offline to discuss with Laplace, he would have to explain the reason, which would take too long. And Xiaohong was still waiting to go offline to reply to Dao Shen and others, so she couldn't delay too long.
The bunny girl was different. As Laplace's time body, they had a telepathic sync. It only took a few seconds for Laplace to know the cause and effect.
Laplace could also tell the bunny girl instantly through telepathic sync if he had any decisions and ideas, which would take much faster than Angel going offline to explain himself.
The bunny girl did not hesitate. After hearing Angel's plan, she went offline without saying anything.
It took only nearly a minute for the bunny girl to go online.
This speed was a bit beyond Angel's imagination.
Soon, Angel knew the reason, because not only the bunny girl went online, but Laplace also went online.
I think the bunny girl told Laplace about the situation, and Laplace decided to go online to discuss with Angel directly.
As soon as Angel sensed that Laplace was online, he immediately used his power to change Laplace's login location to the bunny girl's room.
After Laplace opened his eyes, he was not surprised that he suddenly appeared in a room full of bunnies. He nodded to Angel and sat aside.
"If you go online, is everything okay outside?" Angel asked.
Laplace shook his head: "It's okay, I've already released Luigi from Yinsen. With him outside, nothing will happen."
After a pause, Laplace continued: "I've heard her talk about the parrot and the rice god... What do you think?"
Angel sighed: "I don't have any ideas. If I have to say it, the only idea is that it would be better if I didn't know about this."
If the dog butler hadn't pointed this out, the matter would have developed along the established trajectory. In the end, whether the parrot was caught or the rice god was tricked by the parrot again, it had nothing to do with him.
But now that he had heard it, he had to show his attitude.
Laplace said calmly: "When Xiaohong found that we were stained with the smell of the sin merchant, you wanted to know, but it was impossible."
Even though the dog butler had already left Laplace's time body, he would make a cautious decision on anything related to Laplace.
Since the matter of the rice god involved Laplace, the dog butler would definitely find a way to contact Laplace and confirm her attitude before taking action.
As the party who signed the contract with the parrot, Angel would know about this matter anyway and could not stay out of it.
Angell also understood this truth, and sighed helplessly: "Then I have no other ideas, do you have any ideas?"
Laplace: "I didn't have any ideas at first, but after listening to what you said, I do have some ideas."
Angel: "Oh?"
Laplace said indifferently: "Your idea is actually more inclined to let them solve it themselves."
Angel nodded. Indeed, both the parrot and the rice god were "familiar strangers" to him. If it weren't for the contract, he would never get involved.
Because Angell couldn't trace the source, he didn't know who was right or wrong in this matter.
It seems that the parrot stole the "blood of the gods", but this is only one side's statement. Who knows if there are other reasons on the parrot's side?
Since there is no way to judge right or wrong, you can only make judgments based on subjective emotions. But... he doesn't have too many subjective emotions for these two people.
This is what makes Angell feel very difficult.
If they can solve it themselves, it would be the best.
Laplace: "You are struggling. You are not familiar with either side, so it is difficult to favor either side. But in fact, it is precisely because they are 'slightly familiar strangers' that it is easier to operate."
Angel: "How to operate?"
Laplace: "Still let them solve it themselves."
Although they are allowed to solve it themselves, they need to give an explanation to the parrot. After all, there is a contract and a favor. At the same time, they also need to give an explanation to the dog butler and Xiaohong. They also have an agreement with Dao Shen and others, and they cannot damage their reputation.
So, both sides have to help.
For the parrot, then tell him that Dao Shen relied on Xiaohong to track him, which can be regarded as repaying the favor.
For Xiaohong, after the parrot receives the message and takes further action, Xiaohong will give the coordinates to Dao Shen and others to complete the agreement.
In this way, what the parrot does next and whether there is a way to escape Dao Shen's pursuit is his own business; whether Dao Shen and the Ears can catch him depends on whether he has the ability.
In addition, the credibility and reputation of the dog house are also preserved.
All three parties can be satisfied, this is Laplace's idea.
