Chapter 34 Clever

"What's going on?"

Because it has been broken, take off this set of armor-like clothes and carefully observe it, and you will soon see the cuts inside and a small number of remaining lines. Observing these things does not require any professional vision at all, as long as you are a person, you can see them.

"Well, it's a hole cut by a sharp weapon." The old lady gently stroked her hands. In terms of tailoring, older women naturally have experience - even if they don't know about tailoring, they will at least wear enough clothes. "And they sewed it up."

"How could it be so unstable?" The little girl was still scared. Fortunately, she was already in the carriage at this moment. If it had been broken in public just now, although it was not very good to see it according to her mother-in-law, she would have lost all her face.

"Well, the line has been pulled off." The old lady didn't have a lot of flexibility in her movements, but her eyesight was pretty good, and she could see the whole situation clearly. "But why can the line be pulled off still be maintained? Oh, so that's the case..."

"What's going on?"

"Someone burned the edges of the two pieces of skin with fire, burned them hard, and tied them together with a few threads." The old lady replied. "Oh, the thread is still a thick thread formed after folding in half. Although it is an emergency measure and is not very reliable, thanks to this treatment method, this armor has been worn on you for a long enough time."

"But...what is going on?" There are scratches on the clothes - this one can be understood as accident, but there are sewings but no thread... Then it burns and ties them up with thread.

"It's Ashu Rufate!" The little girl remembered instantly. By the way, Ashu Rufate was standing in the locker room at that time, obviously what she had done just now! Wait...

She is not stupid, at least at this age, she can be said to be very smart. If the various situations before and after were carefully considered, the result seemed very clear.

"There are three people in total... the first one is the one who cuts the cutter on the armor, the second one is the one who sews the cutter with thread, and the last one is the one who ties the cutter together in this way so that it will not fall off." The little girl said softly. "Maybe there is another one, a person who pulls the thread out of the cutter. Before I put on my clothes, Ashu Rufate was the last person who might touch the dress, so he was the third person!"

So that's the case, so he was in the locker room at that time?

While the little girl was discussing this topic with the old lady, on the other side, someone was furious.

"Bad! Didn't you promised it? What's going on?" Byron looked angry and scolded at a man who looked timid. "You can earn at least five hundred gold orleys in my hands every year, but now you can't even do this little thing well! Didn't you say that I absolutely trust your tailor's skills?"

"Dude, this..." replied the timid tailor. "I can guarantee that as long as I pull the knot, then..."

"I have already pulled it apart, sir." Essin, who was next to him, immediately interjected. "I can swear to the sky. I pulled the knot on the spot, as you said, but nothing happened."

"But...this is impossible..."

"Forget it!" Byron waved his hand and signaled the tailor to go down. He was a realistic person, knowing that some things failed and could not be saved. Although he was furious just now, his rationality came back very quickly. Or rather, he was such a person. He did not do this well enough. This tailor is his personal tailor, and his skills are absolutely excellent, but it is indeed the first time he has done this kind of thing. Next time he must remember this lesson. He is still very experienced.

"Essing, I remember the last time you reported that Essue Rufate..." When the tailor left, Byron turned his attention to Essing.

"He was disdainful of the mansion you provided. It seemed that fifty thousand gold Oli was not enough to impress him." Essin cleverly raised the right words.

"Ashu Rufate...Ashu Rufate... Why does this name sound familiar?" Duke Byron murmured to himself. "Forget it, since he is unwilling to be aware of it, then you have to change to a colleague. Having said that, our chief is really aware of people, and he can find such loyal and reliable personnel every time..."

He sighed softly. It is really hard to find such a person, why did Scadra come one after another? 50,000 gold Oli can't touch him! This is already a lot of money for the squire and nobles.

"What do you think of him?" Byron asked again. "Is it possible to become... an uncontrollable factor?"

"Mr. Duke, if I were to say it, it was not possible, but very certain." Essin replied.

"How strong is he?"

"I haven't fought, but I can be a mercenary and come back intact. This is the best proof of his combat skills and vision. And I can feel that he... is very powerful... is quite strong! Our Dad Scadra chose a good candidate, and he is indeed very suitable for this position."

"Well, this matter has been entrusted to you and Cleo. Try to make things look secret...at least legal."

"Creo suggests…use the last trick. A new type of poison."

"Not suitable," Duke Byron shook his head. "I was treated as an emergency last time. But repeated emergency diseases can also attract unnecessary attention. It is better to use the old method."

Since the monarch made the decision, Essin had to owe his body to show his order. Then he also retreated.

"Ash Rufate...Ash Rufate... Someone must have mentioned this name to me...Who is it? Wait! It's Shirley..." He suddenly opened his eyes. Now, he remembered where he heard the name "Ash Rufate!"

...

This is already a commercial area, and further ahead is the dock area. There are many people coming and going in this location, most of which are sailors, porters or shop employees, but there are also many pickpockets who are mixed up and target those foreign merchants. As a royal city of a country, the scale of underground crime in Eagle Falcon City is also outstanding. At least when Ashu Rufate walked along the way, he saw at least three successful thefts.

Today I would like to take a walk in the dock area, which would be considered a complete turn of the city.

Ashu Rufate stopped because he saw a familiar person coming out of a building next to him. It was Ajin. It was difficult to ignore him, because even if Ajin was not very outstanding, he was at least outstanding. Many people misunderstood that merchants were all big belly, but most merchants were actually very normal in size. Ajin had a bun like Ajin. There were several people around him, and Ajin didn't know any of these people, but judging from their clothes and behavior, these people were all merchants. They talked very well with each other.

Sure enough, has Ajin already completed his initial work? Ash Rufat remembered Ajin's previous proposal. It is impossible to hear any conversations about the Elf Prince on the roadside, and he cannot turn it into an opportunity to make money even if he hears it. In other words, Ajin should have been dealing with merchants from all walks of life during this period.

Ashu Rufate hesitated, not knowing whether he should say hello. But Ajin discovered Ashu Rufate one step ahead. He raised his hand and greeted Ashu Rufate from a distance.

In this case, Ashu Rufat had no choice but to respond.

"Ah, everyone, this is what I often say, my good friend Ash Rufate." Ajin patted Ash Rufate's back very enthusiastically. His attitude was so enthusiastic that he absolutely did not believe that they had only known each other for about one month. "He is working in the palace now, right, Ash Rufate?"

"Ah...yes." Ash Rufate replied. What Akin said was indeed the truth. A real profiteer usually told the truth, because lies will be exposed sooner or later, but the truth is misunderstood - that is the audience's own problem.

Several businessmen immediately showed a very polite attitude.

"Last time I planned to do business with him, but unfortunately he was not very interested in this." Ajin said with some regret. "Ashu Rufate, 50,000 gold Oli is actually quite cost-effective. I still regret your decision now."

Several merchants looked at Ash Rufate and immediately felt more respect.

Ajin seemed to want to say something, but Ash Rufate felt that he did not need to continue to act as Ajin's "useful target". So he immediately said that it was a bit impolite to pass by if he had something to do and stayed to disturb everyone's conversation.

"I'll accompany you." A Jin waved his hand decisively. "It's okay, I've finished discussing with these friends. You have been busy in the palace for a while, and we two have no chance to go shopping!"

He said goodbye to several merchants and left. After walking with Ashu Rufate for a while, Ajin's face showed the joyful expression that Ashu Rufate had seen. Well, that night, Ajin resold the blankets and daily necessities he had just bought to Ashu Rufate.

"Ajin, you are playing this trick again." Ashu Rufat said earnestly.

"What, how can a good friend be so petty? You didn't lose a piece of meat!" A Jin seemed a little dissatisfied. "Okay, since you are unhappy, then why don't I tell you good news. I have discovered a new way to make money..."

"Don't tell me what a risk-free low-yield deal is, you won't even do it yourself."

"You should underestimate me. This transaction is profitable... but unfortunately the risk is a bit greater... Have you heard of the slave trade?"

"Aren't slaves traded by the official?" Asu Ruffat asked. He knew the various laws related to slaves, because he had purchased them before. The slave trade is a transaction strictly controlled by countries today. Unless it is a felon (or its family member), ordinary people will not fall to this point. "Illegal?"
