Chapter 312: City Of Moros Part 2
Pov Kira:
After leaving the port me, Elsaris and Samira started walking through the stream of people walking down the street to lose those who are watching us, so I start following Elsaris who enters a side alley and starts walking through the alleys quickly before entering through a window of a small house while pulling his sister Samira.
"Looks like you know everything around here." (I)
"I said I already knew this town, this is an abandoned house without an owner, we can stay here for a few minutes but we'd better leave before others come through." (Elsaris)
"Why did we come here? Wouldn't it be better to keep walking along the main road?" (Samira)
"We've had people watching us since we arrived at the port, probably from the Black Market, Assassin's Guild, and maybe some workers who sell information to bandits." (Elsaris)
"Why did you have so many eyes on us?" (Samira)
"It was just their job, they are gathering information from everyone who arrives at the port, they probably only paid special attention to us because of our boat's suspicious appearance and because we are wearing masks." (I)
"These are weak people with few skills, none of them are professionals, Kira and I the notomas even before getting off the boat." (Elsaris)
"Are the others okay?" (Samira)
"Nira's group will be fine, they go to the Trading Guild and then back to the boat." (I)
"The others won't have any problems either, even if they are watched there is nothing to hide, only we who are going to take care of some illegal tasks should avoid being followed." (I)
"They have no reason to attack anyone, so don't worry sister." (Elsaris)
"I'm not too worried, I know everyone should be strong, I just don't want to draw unnecessary attention." (Samira)
"Neither of us wants attention." (I) Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates
We wait a few minutes until we feel that there are no more people around, then we start to discuss what we will do from now on.
"During the morning we won't be able to solve almost anything." (Elsaris)
"I agree, but we can use this time to scout the city, maybe head to the Assassin's Guild in the afternoon before heading back to the boat." (I)
"We can talk to the master later, I'm sure he'll accept that we go out at night to go to the Black Market." (I)
"Why does it need to be overnight?" (Samira)
"Black market customers usually have other matters to deal with during the day, plus at night it's easier to hide and the streets being emptier is more evident if you're being followed." (Elsaris)
"For this reason, it's only during the night that the Black Market opens its doors to customers, that's where we'll buy things from the illegal list that Nira compiled, we can also ask for some information there to complement the information we get from the Guild of Killers or to confirm any information we can." (Elsaris)
As we walked down the street I remember seeing many fancy carriages, I think this Realm must have many noble visitors from other smaller Realms.
"What we're going to ask for information about, I want to add something." (I)
"Don't you want to talk about it with the master first?" (Elsaris)
"I could ask him right now through our connection, but I'm sure he'll approve." (I)
"So what do you want to add?" (Elsaris)
"We should ask for information about other smaller Realms as well, right?" (I)
"Yes, it can be difficult to find suitable people in this Realm alone." (Samira)
"So could we ask for information about the nobles who are in town right now?" (I)
"Why would you want to know that?" (Elsaris)
The saleswoman has kept a smile fixed on her face since she arrived, Elsaris exchanges a few words with the saleswoman talking nonsense and the saleswoman seems to be taking this as a joke, but soon the saleswoman takes us to the second floor where we are taken through a corridor of doors.
"We have five rooms available, which do you prefer?" (saleswoman)
"The last." (Elsaris)
"As you wish." (saleswoman)
The saleswoman starts leading us to the end of the hall where she has only one door on the left and one door on the right.
"The door on the right or on the left?" (Saleswoman)
"The front door." (Elsaris)
"This way, follow me." (saleswoman)
The saleswoman enters the room on the left and we follow her inside, then the saleswoman closes the door and goes to the bookcase, she pulls three books on different shelves making the booth move to the side showing a secret room where the saleswoman enters, Elsaris enters next with me and Samira close behind.
As soon as we enter the secret door closes, the room is empty with everything dark around, there is only a table and four chairs, three chairs are on one side of the table while a chair is facing them on the other side of the table.
The saleswoman waves us down as she walks over to the chair on the other side.
"What would you like today, a mission request or information?" (saleswoman)
"Information, we want everything you have from the best professionals in these areas of work on this list, I want information from this Realm and nearby Realms." (Elsaris)
Elsaris talks handing over a sheet of paper with the professions we are looking for, the saleswoman looks before speaking.
"What kinds of information do you want?" (saleswoman)
"Everything." (Elsaris)
"We have information on this Realm and some nearby Realms at the moment, if you want we can contact other branches to get information on other smaller Realms." (saleswoman)
"Exactly what I wanted." (Elsaris)
"I also want information from all the nobles present in this city so far." (Elsaris)
"We already have this information, will you want this information first or will you wait until we have it all." (saleswoman)
"Give me the nobles' information first." (Elsaris)
The saleswoman takes out a reading crystal and two storage crystals in the form of small cubes, then she fits the two cubes into the reading crystal, after a few minutes the saleswoman puts away a reading crystal and a storage crystal leaving the other crystal of table top storage.
"The information you requested first will take seven days to be fully collected, the amount will be discussed after reviewing the amount of information collected." (saleswoman)
"Nobles' information will cost 1000 gold coins, the information is in this storage crystal." (saleswoman)
Elsaris takes 20 leather bags out of her storage item and leaves them on the table, then takes the crystal and puts it away, the saleswoman opens each bag and stands to check the weight.
"Do you want anything else dear customer?" (saleswoman)
"No, just what I already said." (Elsaris)
"Allow me to accompany you downstairs." (saleswoman)
The saleswoman leaves the bags of money on the table and walks to the place we entered, she snaps her fingers and the door opens, then after the bookshelves close the secret passage the saleswoman opens the door and guides us upstairs below.
"Always good to do business with you dear customer, have you seen us again." (saleswoman)
Without saying anything Samira and I followed Elsaris out of the store then we started walking until we reached an inn that Elsaris rents for the day, the three of us enter the same room.
