In the middle of the night, a mysterious man wrapped his whole body with a cloak came in Aivo's room. Aivo seemed to be prepared for this.

After greeting the mysterious man into the room, he did not say anything immediately, but took out a disc-shaped thing from a cloth bag he carried with him, carefully placed the disc carved with the precision magic array on the table, and spit out a syllable from his mouth. Suddenly, an extremely faint wave emanated from the disc.

After doing all this, Aiwo breathed a sigh of relief and said to the mysterious man: "Okay! Xu! My dear friend, now we can speak freely. With this 'sound-blocking plate', people outside the house couldn't hear what we were saying, but we could clearly hear the sounds outside."

After hearing his words, the mysterious man uncovered his cloak. This mysterious man was Xu Yue, and it was the third day he had returned from Earth. According to the joint method he and Ivo, he booked a room at Yege Tavern as soon as he came back, but the identity of the room was ordered by him after he changed his appearance. Even Kate of the tavern didn't know that this person was the Chatner man with a gentle smile on his face.

"I'm so happy to see you, my friend! How is it? Is the journey going smoothly?" Xu Yue smiled and bent down and hugged the goblin who was only high at his waist.

"Oh! To be honest, it's terrible! The robbers and monsters on the road to Tarila this year were as many as gluttons in the forest, although they were quite a few in previous years. However, these guys are getting more and more cruel now. In previous years, regular customers like me could pass the territory of those robbers by paying a certain fee. This year, these guys seemed crazy. As long as they were caught by them, not only would they be robbed, but many people would not even be able to save their lives. To be honest, if it weren't for the storage ring you lent me, we would probably have lost all this time." Aiwo jumped angrily and said.

"But you succeeded after all! Aren't you?" Xu Yue said with a smile. Although the goblins talked about the process very thrillingly, he still believed that veterans like Avo would always have a way to deal with emergencies. Otherwise, the goblins would not have been able to get goods from all over the country to sell them in the past.

"Yes! Of course, I succeeded! But the price I paid was very huge. Just the golden gold coins cost a lot, which was simply a waste of my life. If it weren't for our business, I would rather hand over my head than let those golden gold coins leave me." The heartache on Aivo's face when he said this could feel it even if the blind man could feel it.

"Okay, Aiwo, time is limited. I can't stay here for a long time, which will increase my chances of being discovered. Tell me about the situation of this transaction, and do you have plans for our next business?" Xu Yue said to Aiwo after sitting on the bed.

"Next business? Of course, maybe we are about to start our next business." Aivo said excitedly after hearing this.

"Immediately? Are you saying that those elves placed new orders with you?" Xu Yue was a little surprised after hearing his words, but after thinking for a while, he understood.

Aivo turned around and climbed onto the chair next to him and sat on it, saying, "Your reaction is so fast, Xu! Not only did they place an order, but even people came with them."

His words made a warning light flash in Xu Yue's eyes. He squinted his eyes and said, "Are you saying that those elves actually sent someone to pick up the goods with you? Are they the two people with hoodies in your team?"

In fact, although he has been living in a hotel with makeup, he has not been unaware of the situation in the town. The window on the second floor of the tavern is facing the main street of the town. Once there are any teams in the town, you can easily see clearly from there.

As for why the two people with hoods were the elves that followed? That would be even simpler. The elves' iconic long ears could clearly distinguish them from ordinary humans as long as they were not blind. Xu Yue did not find that others had the characteristics of elves when observing. Obviously, there were only two mysterious people who deliberately concealed their appearance.

"You guessed it right, my friend. Although the transaction was very bumpy, the transaction went very smoothly after arriving at the elves. After knowing that I had a large number of high-scale pure containers, the elders of the tribe personally met me. Not only did they buy all our pure containers worth 300,000 gold coins at one time, but they also said that if we had more goods, they would be willing to buy them all at a price of 10% higher than the usual market price. For this reason, they even sent a special person to pick up the goods!" Aiwo explained in detail.

After hearing his words, Xu Yue walked there and thought, then he raised his head and said to Aiwo, "My friend, what do you think about this? Even if the elves rarely dig minerals due to their faith and living habits, the forbidden magic stones they have mastered are very rare, and the yield of pure containers is not high. But they usually do not act so eager and generous about the business of pure containers."

Aivo's little eyes flashed and said, "Of course! Xu! My dear friend! I have been to these long-eared guys many times, and I understand their personalities and habits. If it were normal, although they would never do such acts as paying for the goods or paying for them, it was just out of their inexplicable arrogance and self-esteem. But I wouldn't even think about it if I wanted them to take the initiative to increase the price of the goods. I was in a hurry along the way and didn't have time to collect information on this. So I don't know why they act so anxiously, but we just need to know that they really need a large number of pure containers."

Xu Yue did not agree or object to Aiwo's words. He thought for a while and asked, "I remember you just said that there were a lot of robbers and monsters on the way to Tarila this year? And those robbers did not charge a certain toll as usual, but snatched the goods and killed the owner?"

Aiwo nodded and said, "This is indeed a bit strange. Although there are monsters on this road to Tarila, this time there are many high-level monsters that are rare to see in normal times."

"By the way, Aivo. What kind of force or race are the robbers who robbed and killed along the way, or there are more people in any race or force." Xu Yue suddenly asked after thinking about it.

After scratching his green little head with his hand, Aiwo said, "There are almost all kinds of races along the way. After all, these guys are a group of mobs gathered from the residue of various races. However, if there are many people in any race, there are probably only the orcs. Speaking of which, there are a lot more orcs in the robbers I encountered on the road this time than before."

Xu Yue touched her chin with her hand and said, "I remember the orcs' Germa grassland and Tarila forest are bordered by them, right?"

In order to understand the human and geographical information of Tarenmil these days, he read a lot of books on this. The elves' main residence, Tarela Forest, has a large border between the Germa grassland, which is full of orcs. Because the grassland lacks wood, orcs often go to Tarela Forest to cut down the number.

As a race that advocates nature, elves are deeply disgusted with orcs’ behavior. There have been more than once conflicts in history due to this issue, and even several small-scale wars. The final result is that the orcs are defeated.

"You mean that the elves and orcs are going to fight again?" Aivo said excitedly.

Xu Yue nodded and said, "There are only two situations for elves to buy a large amount of pure containers. One is that they have obtained a large amount of magic materials to continue to preserve. The other is that they urgently need to make a large amount of magic potions and magic items, so they also need a large amount of pure containers to preserve materials. The first type must increase the mining of natural resources. If there is nothing big about the character of the elves, they cannot do such things that destroy the natural balance. As for the second point, under what circumstances does elves need a large amount of magic items? All I can think of is war."

Avo happily jumped from the chair to the ground and said, "So we are going to get rich, my friend! Once the war begins, pure containers, as a strategic resource, will definitely be purchased in large quantities. It seems that those robbers and monsters should be orcs. They want to cut off the outside world's commodity trade with elves and cause trouble for elves' logistics. Oh, gold coins are on it, I have seen countless gold coins flowing into our pockets."

"I really want to get rich. But at the same time, the risks I have to take have also increased." Xu Yue did not show happiness like he did, but said with a frown.

Aivo calmed down when he saw him. After walking on the ground with his hands behind his back, he said: "The rise in risk is inevitable. If we supply large quantities of pure elf containers, it is very likely that the orcs will discover our actions, which will increase the risk of our exposure. But my friend, this risk is worth taking. Although pure containers are a regular product for most forces, the daily demand is still limited. If we rely on the business model we planned before, it will take about a year to accumulate enough funds to develop our power."

"I saw before that you had hired a mercenary group to protect you?" Xu Yue said.

Aiwo said helplessly: "Yes, I hired a mercenary group to protect me, but to be honest, their level is a bit low, and even the leader is only a level five warrior. If it weren't for the dangers along the way and they were the highest-level mercenary group I encountered, I wouldn't have chosen such a small mercenary group with only twenty people. And they rejected my long-term contract, so we need to find another mercenary group that is willing to accept a long-term contract."

Xu Yue was not surprised by Aiwo's words. Few mercenaries are willing to accept long-term employment contracts. Is this not to like to make stable money? The main reason is that once a long-term employment contract is signed, their freedom will be greatly restricted, and it is even no different from the employer's private armed forces.

Although the adventure life of mercenaries is very dangerous, sometimes this kind of adventure can bring heart-warming and even crazy benefits. Many mercenaries or adventurers have discovered amazing items while doing missions or exploring a certain ruin, and some have also discovered the inheritance of some powerful people. These people or forces have soared into the sky with these amazing discoveries, and such situations have happened more than once.

So except for those guys who are mediocre and just want to live a life of scattering, most mercenaries and adventurers come for the amazing benefits that may be brought in during adventure. It is really difficult to make these people honestly be bodyguards.

Of course, this does not mean that finding a bodyguard is difficult. It is just that for bodyguards who only protect their employers, a mercenary group with experience in dealing with robbers, monsters and other ill-hearted guys are obviously more suitable to protect Aivo's safety in finding a businessman.

"How many people are there in that mercenary group? Are they unwilling to sign the contract because you gave too few gold coins?" Xu Yue asked after thinking about it.

"Of course not. I offered a high price of 50,000 gold coins a year. For a small mercenary group like them with about 20 people, this is already a very generous price." Aiwo said with some annoyance.

"How are the strength of the members of the mercenary group?" Xu Yue continued to ask.

"Their leader Lund is a top warrior at the level five, and the rest are a level four archer Laikel and a level four thief Mag. The last person is also the reason why I want to hire them for a long time. The third-level female mage Carlia. A mercenary group with only twenty people actually has a level three mage. This is really unimaginable. You should know that even some medium-sized mercenaries with hundreds of people have only some magic apprentices in it. It would be nice to have a few first-level mages at the top of the sky." Aivo said with regret.

"Level 3?" Xu Yue said softly. Although he had seen Aiwo's team before, he could not confirm the opponent's level. The third level magician was obviously beyond his expectations.

If you are only level 5 warriors and level 4 archers and warriors, then this mercenary group is not a good choice. At least they are a little low in terms of level 2 and number of people, but a level 3 mage instantly increases the value of this mercenary group a lot. In many cases, a level 3 magician can play a role not only in level 3 combat power, but also in addition to the diversity of spells, the strength of the team can be improved by a higher level.

"Can you dig the magician alone?" Xu Yue said to Aiwo.

"I'm sorry. I've tried it a few times in vain, but it's obvious that this magician has a strong sense of belonging to this team. So it's impossible to dig her over the opportunity." Avo shrugged and said helplessly.

"In this way..." Xu Yue thought about it and said, "In this way, let's talk to this mercenary group that the employment price will be increased to 80,000 gold coins a year. Whether they agree or not, they will hire them to escort you to the nearby Black Rock City first. I'm afraid we need to go to the slave market."
