Scene 217 Old Ghosn, the Information Broker
Under the night, the roads in Yinxing Town were as quiet as death. Since the outbreak of the plague, this beautiful harbor has no longer had its former prosperity.
Although the boats are still busy entering and leaving the dock during the day, each boat must be inspected before it is allowed to enter the port.
Once, when a boat entered the port, it was found that all the crew members were infected with the plague. The garrison officer was so scared that he quickly sent the navy to drag the fishing boat to the sea and burned it to ashes with the crew! Since then, the residents of the entire Silver Star Town have become like frightened birds.
Two black figures quickly walked through the streets, came to a tavern and looked around, and then knocked on the door after confirming that no one was following.
"Here you come, don't knock it, why are there anyone coming at this time?"
Through the crack of the door, I saw the shop owner in the house complaining and walked over. When the drunk shop owner saw clearly the two of them wearing black clothes and raven masks outside, he immediately sobered up.
"Two...two, we have no patients here! I swear!"
"No, we are here to find you."
"Look for me?"
The owner was a little confused, and at the same time he felt that the voice was quite familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.
The black-clothed elf said again: "Don't let us in?"
"Uh...sorry, I forgot, please come in."
The two black-clothed elves immediately closed the door after entering the empty tavern, and then they took off the raven mask and revealed their true faces - a human and an elf.
Humans are rare in Silver Star Town, but the elf that really surprised the owner.
"Gilnas!? You are Gilnas!? But... aren't you infected with the plague..."
Speaking of this, the owner of the tavern turned pale and his whole body shivered and hid back.
"What's wrong?" At this time, someone shouted from the second floor, and then remembered the footsteps of going down the stairs.
"It's nothing! Go back upstairs and close the doors and windows! Don't get down!"
The owner stared at Gilnas and said coldly: "Have you escaped from the quarantine area? Well, just say whatever you want, as long as I have it! But please don't hurt my family!"
Gilnas smiled bitterly and said, "Is this the image I am in your impression? Look at my face carefully, are there any abscesses on it?"
The shop owner put his skeptical and looked carefully, and suddenly said in surprise: "You... your plague has been cured!?"
Gilnas nodded and said, "Yes, he has been cured!"
The owner was immediately excited: "This...this is so good! That's so good! That damn plague is finally over!
By the way, why are you still coming to me when you dress like this? Since you already have the medicine to treat the plague, you should go to the council immediately!"
Gilnas smiled bitterly and said, "Old Ghosn, this is the reason why I came to you! Do you remember what I asked you to investigate before?"
Old Ghoen nodded. As the largest old intelligence broker in the southern part of the island, he had been working with Gilnas for a long time. Some time ago, this old customer did take care of his many businesses.
"I found out that Regent Neilsa used the plague to attack the royal party, and then I was thrown into a prison in the quarantine area! Now we killed the guards and escaped.
Do you think I can still walk to the parliament with a swagger in this situation?”
Old Ghoen found a chair and sat down. He already understood the seriousness of the matter. If the Regent Neilsa was really taking advantage of the plague to attack the royal party, he would definitely not allow Gilnas to take out the special medicine. What awaits her will definitely be the most harsh pursuit!
Gilnas continued: "Fortunately, the guy Neilsan shouldn't know that I have special medicine here yet. He should think I just ran away and found a place to hide it."
Old Ghosn nodded seriously: "This will be much easier. I can help you. Through my own way, you can contact some absolutely reliable MPs. Then you just need to hand over the special medicine to them. As long as the Elf King and the others are cured, Neilsa's conspiracy will go bankrupt!"
"But the problem now is that I don't have medicine." Gilnas spread his hands and said, "This is the most urgent thing now. The medicine was provided by this White Earl, and he was also locked up at that time. If we want to get more medicine, we have to cross the sea to find his people on the mainland."
"So you hope I can get a ship for you?" Old Ghoen thought for a while, "It's no problem. I can do it in two days. Then there's only one problem left now - how do you plan to pay the remuneration? As far as I know, you shouldn't have a copper coin or even a debt, right?"
Gilnas blushed and said angrily: "Forget other things, why can you still ask for money for plague matters? Old Ghosn, don't you want to end this damn plague soon!?"
Old Ghoen smiled and said, "Of course I want to, so even if I want to face the Regent, I am willing to take on this job, and I will give you a 20% discount! So, where is my money?"
After a "clang" sound, Old Ghosn noticed that the human being who came in with Gilnas actually put several silver metal sticks on the table!
Old Ghosn picked up a piece of pads in uncertainty and said in surprise: "Mstr.!?"
Bai Gang nodded: "That's right, it's Mithril. I wonder if these are enough to pay you?"
Pilots in Country A have standard gold coins to bribe enemy hunters you may encounter after skydiving, while the bribes carried by the exploration troops are much lighter - aluminum ingots.
Old Ghosn looked at the mitrils and swallowed. This metal that is light and easy to process and has good magic conductivity is the favorite of the elves. Every year, the Moon God Island imports a large amount of mitrils, which leads to the price of mitrils on the island being about twice as high as that of Anglia!
"Foot... enough! You are such a generous one..."
Old Ghosn's praise had just begun, but he found that Gilnas had actually grabbed half of the mitral on the table!
"Gilnas, that's my Misin!"
Gilnas threw away the mitral in his hand and smiled proudly: "Old Ghosn, don't think I don't know the charging standards here. Those on the table are enough to pay you. Don't forget the 20% discount you just said!"
Old Ghoen said hatefully: "I knew it! It is impossible to make more money from the hands of you, a guy who wants to pack up and sell yourself!"
Then, Old Ghosn changed into a kind and warm smile that made people subconsciously feel trustworthy, and bowed slightly to Bai Gang.
"It's so rude that I didn't introduce myself just now. My friends called me Lao Ghosn, the best intelligence merchant in the entire South Island! It's very, very honored to be able to serve you!"
