Chapter 34 Silver Seal 2

If the conversation was compared to a fight, the initiative in the battle at this time was undoubtedly in the hands of Uther.

Previously, through a series of consecutive questions and answers, Uther had suppressed Rhodes in terms of momentum.

According to Uther's idea, not to mention that only his own business group went to the City of Sorrows at this time, just because the person who wanted to become a tourist was a necromancer, and his experience was not very good, of course he could ask for an increase.

The identity of the necromancer makes it difficult for them to collude with others, but in Uther's memory, the incident of the necromancer harassing the business group by himself also happens from time to time. The business group takes a necromancer on the road, which is inherently risky.

Because of his strength as a senior warrior, although Uther is not particularly afraid of the necromancer in front of him, he is not willing to have too much involvement with it. Unless the necromancer in front of him is willing to pay a large sum of gold coins, Uther will let him be a passenger.

"Two hundred gold coins, what do you think?"

Uther said his estimated price.

Rhodes did not rush to answer, but began to think about a problem, a problem that Rhodes had discovered before.

Seeing the Necromancer in front of him seemed to be thinking, Uther was not in a hurry, just crossed his hands, looked at the Necromancer in front of him, and waited for his answer.

After waiting for a while, Rhodes finished thinking and said to Uther: "I have a few questions, I hope the head of the regiment can answer them for me."

"Just ask."

At this time, due to the long waiting time, Uther also became impatient.

Uther knew that the purpose of the necromancer in front of him asking these questions was to point out the inadequacies of the business group, so as to spend less money on travel. A necromancer is still thinking about bargaining at this time, it is better to check if he has enough gold coins.

Rhode asked, "Why did the Silver Seal Merchant Group go to the City of Sorrows?"

Hearing this question, Uther almost couldn't help it. He didn't know why the necromancer in front of him asked such an obvious question.

"For trade."

Rhodes then asked: "Since it is a trade, why go to the City of Sorrows at this time."

Uther didn't seem to understand, and asked Rhodes, "What do you mean?"

"According to the information I know, not long ago, a large business group went to the City of Sorrows."

Uther frowned slightly. "so what?"

"A large business group went to the City of Screaming. While hiring a large number of guards, in order to obtain the maximum benefit, they would carry a large amount of goods. These materials are enough to use the City of Screaming for a long time. This also led to the fact that in During this period of time, the income that the rest of the business groups can get from going to the City of Screaming is extremely low."

Uther didn't seem to understand and said, "What does this mean?"

"Then I will ask you, why do you choose to go to the City of Screaming when none of the other business groups go to the City of Screaming?"

Uther did not directly answer Rhodes' question, but asked Rhodes: "Then what about you? Why did the two necromancers go to the City of Sorrows at this time?"

"To fight."

Rhodes said this in a bland tone, and Uther's pupils shrank.

The reason Rhode asked Uther these words was to confirm one thing. That is, according to Uther's existing information, do you know that Dia is about to have a war with Eli.

Although Uther did not answer Rhodes directly, based on his reaction, it was obvious that he had information about this war.

Regarding the intelligence of the war, Uther will naturally not reveal a bit of information until it is determined whether the necromancer in front of him knows it.

What surprised Uther was that in the process of collecting war intelligence, he spent a lot of money to confirm some things from old friends, plus his own analysis, he was only half-trusted,

The Necromancer in front of him clearly recognized this war.

After confirming his information again from the necromancer in front of him, Uther was also firm in his heart.

Uther said to Rhodes: "You also know that since the war is about to break out, the City of Screaming will have a large demand for basic materials. By sending weapons to the Necromancer side, you can naturally get more benefits."

Rhode replied: "Since you can get the news of the war, can't the rest of the business groups get it? If the war is about to start, the City of Sorrow is the only large town on the border of Dia, and large business groups from all over They will send supplies to the City of Screaming, and the price of weapons and equipment will decrease."

"As far as I know, the Silver Seal business group is only a small business group with about 20 people. How can it compete with the large business group with hundreds of people to deliver supplies?"

"In addition to the risks that may be encountered when crossing the border, especially during this kind of war, the border is full of a large number of thieves and looters of various races. If it is just transporting weapons, I am afraid that the gold coins you earn are not enough for you. Paid to the guards."

"For the goods transported by the business group, terror is not only about weapons, isn't it?"

Every time Rhode said a word, Uther's face became gloomy. At the end, Uther's face completely sank, but he still didn't speak.

Rhode continued: "From the moment I entered this tent, I felt something was wrong. There is an aura in this tent, which gives me a very familiar feeling..."

Rhodes stretched out his left hand, spread it out, and said, "This is the material you're really delivering, isn't it?"

Uther looked down and saw a dark crystal with a rough appearance lying in Rhodes' palm. It was the crystal of the dead that Rhodes obtained in the tomb.

"Because the large-scale business groups transported a lot of materials, in order to seek stability, they will not transport many soul crystals. The rest of the small business groups do not have the courage of yours, and purchased a large number of soul crystals as soon as they noticed the war."

As Rhodes' voice fell, Uther laughed.

"This is just your guess. And I think other members of the business group should not welcome the necromancer."

After saying this sentence, which was like an order to evict guests, Uther got up, and instead of looking at Rhodes and the vampire, he walked towards the back of the tent.

"You said, how much gold is the Thieves Guild willing to pay for this information."

Uther instantly understood what Rhodes meant, turned around suddenly, and looked at Rhodes who was still sitting on the chair.

Large quantities of soul crystals, once successfully delivered to Diya, waiting for the coming of war, the price may increase several times.

For this reason, as soon as the war was confirmed, Uther used all the savings of the business group to purchase Soul Crystals, and at the same time quickly went to Diya.

Uther tried to hide it from his subordinates. Except for a few cronies, no one knew what this shipment really was. In order to prevent leaks, he was besieged by thieves and necromancers.

If the time is further delayed, the information of the war will be confirmed. At that time, all the trade routes will become chaotic. If you don't bring high-level guards, it will not be so easy to go to the City of Screaming safely.

Once the news of Uther's delivery of the Soul Crystal leaked, before reaching the City of Screaming, he would be besieged by thieves, and even the official necromancer would snatch it away.

"you……"

"I just want to go to the City of Screaming." Looking at Uther, who was full of embarrassment, Rhodes said.
