Chapter 174 The task is not easy to do
"Let me go! Otherwise, I will steal all your equipment next time I see you!"
The thief who was revealed by the players around him not only did not show any shame, but instead shouted viciously at Fang Yi.
"Hmm? So arrogant?" Fang Yi looked at the thief beside him in surprise, a little surprised by the other party's arrogance, and then asked the warrior player watching the fun, "Friend, this is the first time I'm not sure about this Galbo. What special place does the stole the player's NPC have been discovered, and he should be expelled from the place, right?"
"Hey, who knows, this... Hey, the guards are here, you will know after this plot. If you are lucky, you will have benefits~" The soldier waved his hand at Fang Yi, then turned around and left the scene.
Fang Yi turned his head and saw that the guards standing aside had already seen the situation here and quickly came to Fang Yi.
"It's you again, Galbo! Hurry up and apologize to this adventurer," the human guard with a strong slap over and slapped Galbo directly on the back of the head, and then smiled at Fang Yi who was standing aside, "I'm so sorry, this sir, this is our negligence in public security, and we will double the compensation for your losses."
Under the stern gaze of the guards, Galbo reluctantly took out a small wallet from his arms and handed it to Fang Yi. The hateful look at Fang Yi made Fang Yi feel as if he was a thief who stole money.
System prompt: You have obtained twenty-three gold coins.
Short oil? So much money~ Fang Yi remembers the money in his bag clearly. Just now, Galbo found out before he succeeded in stealing skills. He did not have many gold coins in his bag.
This is the benefits mentioned by the warrior player just now?
"Sir, you see, Galbo has returned the money to you 'as much'. Don't you pursue it?"
ah?
Fang Yi looked at the guard in front of him and was sure that he had heard it correctly. It was strange. When would the guard plead for the thief? But looking at the gold coin bag in his hand, Fang Yi understood most of the time. If he had to throw the thief into prison, he might not be his own~
"Haha. Of course, Galbo's attitude is still very sincere," Fang Yi grinned and said to the guards, relaxing when he saw him. He continued. "I have other things to do when I look for this little brother. Don't you mind if I can talk to him, right?"
"Who has anything to do with you!" The little thief on the side tried several times, but he couldn't break away from Fang Yi's big hand holding his wrist tightly. Seeing that the other party was looking for a reason to leave him, he immediately shouted loudly, "I don't know you!"
"This..." The guard looked at the thief jumping up and down in embarrassment, then looked at Fang Yi, and spread his hands in a bit embarrassed.
Fang Yi thought that there were strange things every day, and there were a lot of them today. First, a thief was so popular in the Adventurer Hall, and then a guard came to plead for the thief. If there was no plot or mission, the ghost wouldn't believe it, but it was obvious that no one had triggered this task. Fang Yi immediately remembered the letter written by Ms. Sharl, a backpack.
Now that it is in public, Fang Yi originally planned to pull Galbo to a secret place and explain in detail, but the guard in front of him seemed to support Galbo to the end. Fang Yi thought that the opportunity was rare, so he should continue the task first.
Thinking of this, Fang Yi reached out to take out the wax-sealed envelope from his backpack and shook it at the thief, "I was entrusted by an old friend to come to Xingmu Market to find Galbo, Mr. Watts, but now I suspect I have found the wrong person."
Fang Yi's joking tone made the little thief's face flushed, but after seeing the envelope in Fang Yi's hand, he was suddenly stunned and reached out to grab it. The other party's reaction was not as quick as Fang Yi's. Fang Yi's hand shook and Galbo grabbed it in vain, but Fang Yi's eyes lit up - there was a chance!
"I remembered that I know this person," after seeing the envelope in Fang Yi's hand, Galbo's attitude immediately changed direction 360 degrees, and said to the guards, "He won't do anything to me, it's okay."
The human guard's expression also relaxed, and he bowed slightly to Fang Yi, "I'm really sorry, his uncle is an old acquaintance of mine. I'm really sorry for asking me to take care of him before, and I'm really sorry for the inconvenience caused to you."
Fang Yi waved his hand at the guards, watched the guards return to his post with a smile, and then looked back at the thief.
"Now let me see that envelope! Hurry up!" Galbo looked anxious and looked like he was not fake. He kept shouting at the thin envelope in Fang Yi's hand.
Fang Yi looked up around and saw players noticed the abnormality here. A habitual stealing that had been in the Adventurer Hall for so long, and it was impossible for no one to notice such obvious clues of the mission. It was just that there was no opportunity to trigger the mission. This Galbo has been staying until today. Now that he is chatting with Galbo here for a long time, it is inevitable that some people with ulterior motives can see clues.
"Let's change somewhere."
***
Mermaid Song Tavern is located on Voyager Street next to Adventurer Hall. As the largest hotel in the Star Twilight Market and the best chefs in the city, there are naturally many customers here.
Fang Yi pulled Galbo and walked around the crowded street twice, and then threw off the tail that came out of the Adventurer Hall, and then the two walked into the Mermaid Song Tavern. After finding a table in the corner, Fang Yi asked for two large glasses of ale, then took out the envelope again.
Gaelbo took the envelope impatiently, put the stamp on the wax seal in front of him and looked carefully and again, as if he was about to see a flower from inside.
Fang Yi had read this envelope countless times. In addition to not knowing the content inside, Fang Yi could tell where there was a wrinkle on the surface of the envelope and where it was glued roughly. The stamp on the wax seal was the key object of Fang Yi's research.
The shape of the stamp is a simple ring without any patterns or decorations. It looks like an ordinary circle, but there is a small human face inside the ring. However, the stamp is too small and it is not clear on the wax oil. It can only be vaguely identified that it seems to be a little girl.
Fang Yi has been searching for information online a lot, but this stamp belongs to any known divine system and large organization, so Fang Yi is also at a loss.
At this time, Galbo had already looked away from the stamp and turned his eyes to Fang Yi's face opposite him who was drinking heavily, "Where did you get this?"
The little brat's domineering tone made Fang Yi feel upset when he heard it, but as for competing with a young man of fifteen or sixteen, "It was given to me by a friend named Shaer in Ximen City."
"It's true!" Galbo heard Fang Yi say Shael's name and immediately shouted excitedly, pulled Fang Yi up and ran out, "Then come with me to save my uncle!"
"Wait!" Fang Yi reached out and pulled Galbo back, "What uncle should I save? Let's explain the matter clearly first."
Galbo looked anxious, but his strength was there, so he could not have been able to persuade Fang Yi, so he had to sit down honestly and talk to Fang Yi about the whole story.
It turned out that the little thief in front of Fang Yi was named Xia Ou, and the Gelbo mentioned by Shael and Fang Yi, Watts was the uncle of Xiao Xia Ou in front of him, a real master. However, Gelbo usually lives in his own house outside Xingmu City, and if you have any questions, you will ask Xiao Xia Ou to come to the city to run errands, so not many people have heard of Gelbo's name.
Many days ago, Galbo was suddenly kidnapped by a group of mysterious people. He had no time to leave a message to Xiao Xiaou and asked him to go to a man named Shaer in Ximen Port for help.
However, it is not easy to go from Xingmu City to Ximen Port. If you take the land route, even many famous adventure teams have to consider it again and again. The sea route is blocked by Ximen and Xingmu City, making it even more difficult to smuggle.
However, after repeated efforts, Xiao Xiaou finally contacted the owner of a smuggling boat through his friend, and could take him to a port near Ximen, which was of course not expensive - three hundred gold coins.
In order to board the smuggling boat, Xiao Xiaou went to borrow usury from others, then went to the casino to try his luck, but lost all of them. The debt-chasing person was desperate and ran into the adventurer's hall. The guard Fang Yi had seen before had some friendship with Galbo, so Xiao Xiaou escaped the pursuit of Cole and his group of people there.
After listening to the other party's memories, Fang Yi also thought about the scars on the little boy's arms and calves. He thought that he had suffered a lot during the days of wandering alone in Xingmu Market. Fang Yi's only displeasure was gone because of the other party's arrogant personality.
Such a young child has never given up even if he suffers so much in the market for so long. This is rare enough.
However, Fang Yi looked at the envelope in his hand and thought to himself that when he met Sar in the sewer library, he might have just received news of Galbo's difficulties from some channel, so he went with the flow and gave him such a task, but why not explain it explicitly?
After thinking about it, Fang Yi turned his attention to the task in front of them. "Xia Ou, I just said that I knew that who was kidnapped by your uncle?"
"I know! Uncle must have been captured by Li Xu and the others!" Xiao Xiaou mentioned his uncle's whereabouts and immediately became ferocious, revealing the hostility that a child of this age should not have.
"Don't worry, I will save your uncle." Fang Yi put away the envelope and glanced at the crowd around him, "So tell me, who is this Li Xu?"
"He is the largest profiteer in Xingmu City!" Fang Yi's promise seemed magical. Xia Ou's face turned red due to excitement and returned to normal, but his hands were still clenched tightly. "His fleet is the largest merchant ship in Xingmu City, and recently Li Xu wanted to buy the land in the slums and build a warehouse. People say he kept the price very low."
"Then how do you make sure that this Li Xu has something to do with your uncle's abduct?" Fang Yi stared at Xia Ou's blue eyes and asked directly about the key points.
"I must be him!" Xia Ou said firmly, "He came to find my uncle before, as if he asked my uncle to help repair a map, but was scolded by my uncle. That was the only time that my uncle got angry with someone else in my memory." (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
