Chapter 24 Thieves (Part 2)
At dusk, the moonlight shines on the earth, and the air is filled with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
It was already dinner time, and most of the residents in the town finished their day's work and went home for dinner. The streets that were noisy all the time suddenly showed the most empty moment in the day.
At this moment, the two teenagers, one in front and one behind, followed the street and under the moonlight, came to a small tunnel outside the town through a small tunnel. This was the tunnel newly dug by the thief union. Now, because of the matter of buying and selling bison, they were introduced to Romon as a way to deliver goods.
At this time, the gate of the town was closed and you were not allowed to go out at any time.
"Romum, do each one really have 30 silver coins?" The boy walking behind looked stronger than his peers. He was about fifteen or sixteen years old, but he was already quite majestic. It was Romon's good friend Fafell, a boy who was a few months older than Romon, and at this time the face that had begun to show tough lines was full of excitement.
Although the price of a calf 30 silver coins is not high, it is always better than getting nothing. What's more, you can also buy some wild game in exchange for money in the future. In Faffel's opinion, this transaction is quite cost-effective.
But Romon, who was walking in front, was obviously much silent. After hearing Fafel's words, he didn't stop. He just turned around, glanced at the partner, and then said uneasyly: "Maybe!"
Maybe it's because the thief is simple, it can still be used in this world, but it can't be far away. When I return to the town, I don't hear much, and the sounds during the day are too complicated.
This time, I wanted to hear it, so I installed my headphones and went out through the tunnel. Speaking of the tunnel, it turned out that a house in the town led out of the town. I don’t know when the thieves dug it up.
Romon did not carry Fafell on his back when he cooperated with the thief union. One of the reasons why he asked the other party to explain this matter clearly was that the income from the buffalo hunting this time was originally from Fafell. If he didn't explain it clearly, it would be inappropriate. The second reason was that Romonta is now weak, and he needs a partner who can take risks, share his current mood with him, and discuss the good or bad things with him.
Nick's body is still in recovery. Since he received the 40 silver coins sent by Romon, the situation of the Nick's family has improved a lot, and Nick's diet has become more nutritious. Although he has only been able to walk slowly so far, the recovery of his injuries has been greatly unexpected. However, without Nick's joining, Romon and Fafell are getting a little boring now.
"Maybe? What does it mean? Haven't you all agreed?" Although Fafeer's mind was not as flexible as Romon, he also heard the uneasiness in his good friend's words. He scratched his head, not understanding why this was a foregone conclusion, so why can't this friend be in a good mood yet.
Romon found a soft Asakusa and sat down, and then said to Fafell, who had sat down afterwards: "For some reason, I always feel a little uneasy, as if something is wrong."
"Haha, what's the matter? I have heard from people in the Thieves Union that all the people are jealous of money. For money, they dare not do anything? You should be happy if someone comes to buy a bison. Besides, don't you say that too? If you can really cooperate this time, it will be much easier to make money in the future? If Nick's body wants to recover to the same way as before, it is impossible to have money without money. Moreover, now your relationship with Master Jiefa is so tense, you must consider your future life."
There is another saying that Fafeer did not say. If he wanted to become a warrior, a warrior who reached level five, and to regain glory from his already declining family, it would also require enough money. With money, he could find a wise master to guide him, and with money, he could go to the outside world to experience...
"Maybe I'm thinking too much. So, tomorrow you will take the calves to wait for me outside the town. I made an appointment with them to trade outside the town." Romon patted Fafell on the shoulder, feeling that he might be too careless. He is just a little boy, without power or power. Now he is even deprived of his qualification to enter the temple. If it is just to bring him back to his original form, then those people have done it. In this case, who else will have to deal with him deliberately?
When he thought of the temple, Romon immediately thought of the kind and quiet Miss Alini. He had passed by the door of the temple several times these days, but he had never met this angel-like girl. I don’t know if she had heard about her own affairs...
"Oh! It's really, it's time, I'm still thinking about these things!" Romon suddenly woke up, and he shook his head in a little annoyed, as if this could remove this girl who was getting farther and farther away from him from his mind.
"Romon, what are you muttering?" Fafer, who was beside him, looked at him inexplicably.
Romon covered up his smile: "It's okay."
Just as I was about to continue speaking, a chaotic sound came from the micro microphone that was stuffed into my ears.
Romon was shocked and signaled Fafer to wait for a moment, then closed his eyes and focused his attention on these sounds under Fafer's inexplicable gaze.
"Hahaha, welcome, what a distinguished guest!"
After a raucous sound, the sound over there began to become clear, and the first thing Romon heard was such a flattering sound.
The sound seemed to be the branch president he dealt with, but this sound... was definitely not a civilian, right? Romon's attention was a little focused.
"Has the matter been done?" A man's voice rang out immediately. He heard that he was a middle-aged man.
Things were done? Romon's attention became more focused. Moreover, the sound sounded familiar...
Who is it?
While listening, Romon recalled the person he had met, and suddenly, a figure popped up from his mind! It was the tax officer Baccas! That smiley tiger! This perception made Romon immediately smell the scent of conspiracy. So he listened more seriously.
Unfortunately, I don’t know if the signal is bad or the other party is not talking at all. In the next short period of time, Romon listened nervously, but only heard a clattering sound.
Damn! It won't be so declining, right? Romon couldn't hate it.
However, what happened next calmed down immediately. He heard a chatter coming from the other side after a raucous sound. Moreover, judging from the content of the conversation, the blank period just now was not because of the machine, but because both parties in the conversation were silent.
"Mr. Baccarat, you should know that the thief union has credibility and glory, and doing so is really..." This is the answer of the branch president. It seems to be a rejection, but it is more likely to be a gain.
Sure enough, tax officer Baccas had expected it.
"What is the credibility of the thief union? You can say these words to others. Please don't use this to perfunctorily treat me. If the thief also has credibility, then..." Bacacas paused for a moment. Romon couldn't see his expression. However, from the twist of the word "but", the following words should be the handle of the thief union.
Sure enough, after a pause, the cold voice of the tax officer Baccarat came from the microphone again: "...Does your evil deeds in Bailin Town and earlier in Shenglai Town also show credibility?"
After saying this, the microphone fell into silence again, accompanied by silence and squeaking sounds.
However, the quiet time this time obviously did not last long.
"Master Baccarat!" The voice of the Thieves Union branch president smiled.
"You don't have to worry. As long as you can handle this for me, not only will I not be entangled with this matter anymore, but I also promised you to double the reward before, how about?" Bacacas slowed down and said again.
"Yes! However, Lord Baccarat, I don't understand that the boy is just a civilian, and I heard that he has been expelled from the temple. Why does such a person make you so worried?"
Although the president of the Thieves Union did not mention his name, Romon, who had been listening to their conversation, still covered his mouth with surprise. If he didn't cover it, he would definitely scream out just now. He was plotting for himself and for luck to hear the above conversation.
Without time to pay attention to Fafell's gaze beside him, Romon continued to listen carefully. If he had just listened with 100% energy, then after knowing that it was related to him, Romon's concentration had reached 200%. He was highly nervous.
The two people who were talking secretly there naturally would not know that what they said had been eavesdropped. Therefore, the cautious Baccarat did not refute the words of the Thieves Union branch president. However, they did not explain anything.
"You don't have to worry about this. As long as you know, tomorrow I will send someone to ambush outside the town in advance, and I will wait there. As long as Romon trades with you, I will lead someone to arrest him... Haha, three days later it will be time for the square meeting. I will announce his crime in public, and I will buy and sell bison without permission. Moreover, I will be involved with the thief union. Haha, at least I can be sentenced to jail. As long as I go to jail... I see how he will turn over in the future!"
Then there were some specific operations. They discussed it for a while, and then the voice of the tax officer leaving the branch president to see off the guests was heard.
Romon on this side was soaked in cold sweat.
It is impossible not to say that Romon's luck is really good. If he hadn't suddenly intentionally put the eavesdropper in the thief union, if the two people were talking about these words within the eavesdropping range of the eavesdropping machine, then what would be the situation that would have been welcomed tomorrow?
Although private buying and selling bison is nothing, it is impossible to be punished in many territories if it is implicated in many territories.
It is not necessarily a crime of death, but it is OK to be closed for a few years. However, once you enter a closed prison and die inside, who would find it rare?
