Chapter 1987 A Deal
"What is the origin of that mid-level Return to Void Realm that would ambush our people and the princess's people in the volcanic cave?"
The middle-aged man thought for a moment and ordered, "Investigate for me, and make sure to find out the origin of that mid-level Return to Void Realm!"
...
The White Whale Enfeoffment thousands of miles away.
White Whale City is the capital of the White Whale Enfeoffment. It is smaller than the Tianguang King Capital, but it is as lively as the Tianguang King Capital.
In the bustling downtown, three dusty warriors shuttled through the crowd and finally stopped in front of an inn on the street.
There was a sign of closing in front of the inn, and the door was closed. Judging from the spider webs at the door and the degree of dilapidation, this inn should have been abandoned for a long time. Among the people coming and going, no one would pay attention to this abandoned inn.
However, these three dusty warriors walked straight to this abandoned inn.
These three people were Su Chen and his three friends who came.
When they arrived in front of the closed door, Shuiyue knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
The door opened a little, and a little head poked out from the door. It was a girl of seven or eight years old. She blinked and asked crisply, "Who are you looking for? Did you go to the wrong door?"
Shuiyue grabbed the paper crane hovering in the air and handed it to the girl: "We are here to stay."
The girl saw the paper crane, looked at the three people again, and then nodded: "Since there is a token, you can come in!"
As she said, she opened the door and let the three people in.
Su Chen and the other two entered the door, and the inside was suddenly bright and open, and there was a different world, which was completely different from the abandoned and dilapidated outside.
In the courtyard, smooth black stone slabs were laid flat, and there was no fallen leaves on it. It was obvious that someone was cleaning it day and night.
In the center of the courtyard, there stood a hall, which was full of people and sounded very lively.
In front of the hall, there were two teams of guards in bright armor, with eagle-like eyes constantly scanning the surroundings, ready to prevent anyone from making trouble at any time.
The most important thing is that a protective array shield was erected above the courtyard. This array not only played a defensive role, but more importantly, it also had a sleight of hand. Even if someone passed by the courtyard, they could only see that it was an abandoned inn, and could not see the scene inside.
Su Chen and the other two looked at each other, and all three took out their face towels and covered their faces, and then walked into the hall.
The hall was crowded with people, and there were counters lined up one after another, and many warriors were shuttling between counters. Almost everyone had a face towel on their face. Everyone did not look at others, but just concentrated on choosing their own products.
Su Chen looked around the hall. Although the hall was not big, it had everything. All the major categories of goods that warriors could use were sold.
Pills, skills, martial arts, talismans, monsters... everything was available.
"Follow me."
Shuiyue looked around the hall, then locked onto a row of counters against the wall, and took Su Chen and Cen Ping and squeezed through the crowd.
"What do you want to order?"
An old man with white eyebrows was sitting behind the counter. Seeing the three people coming, he asked.
"We want to go to the capital."
Shuiyue said simply.
"Well, I understand. You don't want to be checked by the border checkpoints of the fiefdom, right?"
The old man with white eyebrows nodded, without any surprise in his expression. Obviously, there are more than just a few warriors who have such needs. It is a common thing for Xuanji Chamber of Commerce.
The good thing about the black market is that you get the money and do the work without asking too many questions. The old man took out three scrolls quickly: "Three days later, there will be a flying boat to the capital. You can be on the flying boat and exempt from being checked."
"What's the price?"
Shuiyue asked.
"Ten thousand silver yuan pills per person!"
The old man replied, "Because we need to manage the relationship, the price can't be reduced any further."
Su Chen also sighed in his heart. This price is really expensive. If everyone on the flying boat receives 10,000 silver pills per person, that would be an astronomical figure. This Xuanji Chamber of Commerce is really good at making money.
Shuiyue also frowned slightly, obviously thinking that the price was unreasonable. However, she still took out 30,000 silver pills from her space ring and handed them to the old man.
However, just when Shuiyue stretched out her hand halfway, Su Chen stopped her and said, "I'll pay for this."
"How can I be so embarrassed? How can I let you pay?"
Shuiyue waved her hand and refused.
"Because I have to hurry back to the capital, I spent this extra money. Otherwise, if it were just the two of you, you could have waited for the investigation slowly."
Su Chen's thinking was also very clear. He knew that although the White Whale Fiefdom would definitely prevent Cen Ping and Shuiyue from returning to the capital, it had no right to detain them all the time. At most, it would delay them for three to five months, and they would eventually be allowed to leave. And if it weren't for him, it wouldn't matter if these two people were delayed for three to five months.
So, in essence, this extra money was because of him.
