Outside the capital in the afternoon.

Andu dressed himself up like an ordinary citizen and entered the trading market.

Ever since several serious damage incidents occurred in the capital many years ago, pedestrians and merchants traveling back and forth have been subject to severe restrictions. Unless they have special orders or can obtain special permission from the military department responsible for the city defense, they are not allowed to stay in the capital for too long.

This means that non-locals are not allowed to stay in the capital for too long, which has forced many local mercenary groups and guilds to find other ways to operate.

Gradually, the mercenary guild also moved out of the city, and would only enter the city to check on missions when necessary.

Similarly, the transport teams coming from outside would not spend too much time applying for residence, so over time, the small towns outside the city formed gathering points with their own characteristics.

We came to a place called a trade market.

This is the gathering place for foreign caravans. Caravans coming from various areas of Jagun will place their goods here.

Either a big guild in the city buys it and sells it, or someone comes here specifically to buy it...

The price is cheaper, but you have to buy in large quantities.

Before Andu came, he had already inquired about the materials that were in high demand recently, and they were only sold out in the last month.

Ahem~

Coughed twice.

I started to imitate Sean's behavior.

"I hadn't met many nobles before, and I thought most of them were arrogant. But after meeting His Majesty Sean, I realized that true nobles are very elegant."

Keep your head up and chest out.

I imitated Sean's actions.

Walking into a store...

It's also a good place to inquire about in advance.

He handed a note to the shop owner who came forward to greet him.

"Boss, how many of these materials do you have? I might order a lot!"

When the boss heard that they wanted to order a large quantity, he immediately smiled.

But if you look closely at Andu's outfit...

Plain and simple, without any special accessories on his body, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who can afford to spend a lot of money. But the only difference is that the sword in his hand looks very special.

For those who are well-informed, the first impression might be that he is an errand boy for a large family, but he has a very good temperament.

Maybe it was a subordinate of some high status, so he believed it a little and opened the note with a smile.

This look...

Why are there only these?

"Guest, is the city in great need of these herbs and powders recently?"

"Why do you say that?" Andu asked hurriedly after smelling a little scent.

"Because this is the most popular product recently, many people have placed orders before. These things are originally produced in small quantities... It is said that it is the material for a magic potion, and it is a very niche potion that generally no one buys. But suddenly it was sold out recently. If customers want this batch of goods, they may have to wait for a while." said the store owner.

really,

Andu thought to himself that the direction he was looking in was not wrong.

It is easiest to find clues by starting with the materials.

"Is this material rare?"

"Very rarely," the shopkeeper nodded. "I'd barely heard of them before, but it's only recently that people have been buying them that I remember the names. Have they suddenly found a use?"

For businessmen, if something suddenly becomes a hot seller, there must be a reason, and finding the reason may allow them to make a fortune.

"I guess so." Andu replied.

"Otherwise, please wait a moment. I've been looking for goods everywhere lately. If I have any news, I will inform you as soon as possible."

Andu didn't really come here to buy goods, so why would he care about these questions in a hurry?

"Then do you know who were the first people to buy these?"

"Customers want to buy from them?" The business is about to go bankrupt, and the owner will not reveal the origins of those customers.

"I'm not very clear. I just remember that a group of people... asked for a lot, and then a mercenary group also asked for a lot."

"I don't want to buy from them, I just want to find out more... After all, I might know someone who wants the same batch of goods." Andu was not stupid and knew what the shopkeeper was thinking.

But the other party is still cautious, and the information of other guests cannot be disclosed casually.

This time the rules are broken.

"It's a bit difficult."

"But I really need this information. I need to know who the other party is so that I can prepare my money so that they won't take it away. Besides, the capital is full of nobles."

After hearing this, the owner began to understand.

There are too many nobles in the capital, and if you are not careful, the nobles will fight among themselves. The other party probably wants to investigate the background of the other party.

"Even if you don't tell me, I have a way to know it. But for the sake of confidentiality, I won't tell you that I got it from you." Andu took out his few gold coins and handed them to the other party.

A small bag full.

I promised His Majesty that I would investigate and find out the results, no matter what the cost...

Besides, I will be promoted in a few days!

Seeing the bag full of money, the shop owner could no longer hold on to his principles. He immediately sent away the guys from other shops and took Andu aside to talk.

"Do you know any famous mercenary groups near the capital recently?"

"White Wolf?!!"

Andu replied in surprise.

"That was in the past. Although the White Wolf is still strong now, there are still many mercenary groups that have emerged in recent years and have come from the local areas to carry out activities. One of them..."
