Chapter 67: Raising the Price

“Boss!”

not good!

In the room, Inanna quickly covered her mouth.

He tiptoed to the door again, put his ear close to it and listened for a long time. Only after confirming that there were no footsteps outside did he breathe a sigh of relief.

I was so happy to see the letter that I actually shouted it out...

The content of the letter was very simple, they just wanted to use S-level magic crystals as a reward.

In exchange for information about the Amethyst Dungeon from the Relic Association.

There is no signature, but there is a small pink Pooji drawn in the lower right corner!

There are only a few people who know what they look like, and those adventurers from the Silver Thorn Team are definitely not the ones who can come up with S-level magic crystals.

On the other hand, the boss had a lot of magic crystals in the deep area, so it was not surprising that he could get S-level ones.

In addition, the return address given in the letter was the town of Yafeng next to the Amethyst Dungeon.

No matter how you think about it, it must be a letter from the boss.

So, the boss is here too?

Or at least a few floors above.

The Puji on the fifth floor that Calvin mentioned last time is most likely the boss.

And this letter was written by the boss at the request of someone else!

As for why the boss wants this information?

Inanna thought it was normal to want to know more about the environment around her.

She really wanted to go to the Amethyst Dungeon to find the boss immediately.

But she is not allowed to go out now.

She also wanted to help the boss find information about the Amethyst Dungeon.

But she is not allowed to go out now...

Eric only said that because of the summoning of the hero, the situation was turbulent and they were not allowed to go out.

But I can’t tell when the ban will be lifted.

What should I do?

Inanna hugged her legs and rocked on the bed for a long time, but there was nothing she could do.

"Anyway, let's write a reply first..."

——

Eric glanced at Inanna, whose face showed a mixture of happiness, apology, and anticipation.

He then looked down at the letter Inanna handed to him.

The recipient is: Dylan Slick.

A man's name...

"Got it Miss, I'll mail it for you tomorrow."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Uncle Eric."

After Inanna left, Eric looked at the sealed letter in his hand a few more times.

He definitely wouldn't do something like opening a lady's letter and reading it without permission.

But...Dylan...

It seems necessary to find someone to investigate who he is and why he gave such an expensive gift.

We can't let anyone with bad intentions take advantage of the young lady.

——

The Duke's Mansion is not too far from Yafeng Town.

So just a few days later, Dylan received a reply from Miss Inanna.

And I watched it myself.

In other organizations, if a subordinate reads a letter written to his boss without permission, it would be a way to his death.

But it’s different in DeLand.

The eldest son is illiterate, so I asked him to read it when I brought it back. He has to read it sooner or later.

Dylan put away the letter he had read.

It seems that the boss's commission will be delayed for quite some time.

The boss's mission is completed, and what remains is news about Bella.

Immediately, Dylan braved the drizzle and walked through the mud towards the part of Yafeng Town that had not yet begun to be rebuilt.

Those who buy and sell intelligence like to hide in these dark corners.

More than ten minutes later.

A relatively intact building, but one that should still be classified as a dangerous building.

The damp and moldy smell rose up through the cracks in the table. The intelligence dealer sat with his legs crossed on the crooked oak barrel.

After taking the balance of 1 gold coin, he casually threw out a piece of yellowed papyrus.

There were just a few words on it, recording the "news" of the sale to Dylan.

"Is this the information you're selling?"

Just 10 seconds later, Dylan slapped the so-called intelligence on the rotten wooden table.

"What do you mean by 'I only know she went to the Islands'?

You don’t know the reason for going there, the specific location, or the current situation!

Are you kidding me?

The intelligence dealer slowly picked the dirt from between his fingernails with a dagger, and the tip of the blade flashed dark red rust under the light.

“Distinguished guest, or should I call you Dylan?

You know, it took a lot of effort for us to even find out that she went to the islands.

As for more details,

Yes, there is, but..."

Dylan looked at his sly smile and immediately understood.

It turns out that he didn't fail to find out, but he even found out about my relationship with Bella, and wanted to raise the price and control me.

After the reconstruction of Yafeng Town, all kinds of monsters and demons have sneaked in.

In the past, the information dealers here would not be so unruly.

Dylan was so angry that his veins were throbbing, but he finally held back his anger and asked:

"How much?"

The information dealer shook his dirty cuffs and extended two fingers.

"Two golds?"

"Twenty gold!"

"Why don't you just rob?"

There was a sharp sound of the wooden stool scraping against the floor. Dylan stood up suddenly, grasped the long sword at his waist, and glared at the other party.

The other person just kept his thumb pointing to the door as a gesture of seeing him off, and his shiny face was wrinkled as his mouth opened wide.

It was clear that he had him in his grasp.

At the same time, two figures wrapped in leather armor walked out of the room.

They crossed their arms, leaned against the wall, and looked at Dylan with a playful look on their faces.

Dylan looked at the three of them and ultimately failed to draw his sword.

"Wait while I get the money."

After saying this, Dylan turned and left.

The information dealer chuckled smugly from behind.

Just as his heels were about to step out of the house, Dylan suddenly turned around, and the ring in his hand, which was glowing blue, pointed at one of the thugs.

[Ice Cone]

Three ice cones condensed instantly and shot towards the thug.

The man was totally unprepared for Dylan's sudden attack and only had time to step to the side and avoid an ice spike.

The remaining two ice spikes shot into his abdomen and thigh respectively, pushing him and smashing the already flimsy wooden wall.

"You bastard, you're looking for death!"

Another thug rushed forward with a mace wrapped in iron sheet in his hand.

From his actions, Dylan could guess that the opponent's strength was probably about the same as his own, who was at the bottom of the silver level. In a head-on fight, Dylan had a higher chance of winning because of his experience.

What's more, Dylan wasn't ready to fight him head-on.

The blue cloak on his body was blown up by the strong wind.

【Phantom Clone】

Dylan's figure blurred for a moment, then turned into three.

The information dealer who was hiding in the back and had just drawn his bow said in disbelief, "Two skill items?"

[Through LV4]

An arrow was shot and pierced Dylan in the middle.

Wave--

That Dylan was like a bubble, which was popped and disappeared on the spot.

【Spin Slash LV5】

The remaining two Dylans attacked the thugs in front of them from both sides.

In panic, the thugs could only choose a side to block.

The sound of metal clashing was drowned out by the sound of rain outside.

The fighter guessed correctly, but he missed the best time to exert force due to his hesitation, and the force he used was not enough to completely resist Dylan's skills.

One arm was cut by a long sword, leaving only a layer of skin attached to the shoulder.

“Ahhhhh—”

A pig-slaughtering scream came out of his mouth.

He ignored the thug who could no longer lift his weapon.

Holding the sword that was still dripping with blood, Dylan approached the intelligence dealer who was already frightened and shaking wildly.

The information dealer could never have imagined that this was a former silver-level adventurer who should have been known to him and had entered a period of decline.

He actually has two skill equipment!

At the same time, they attacked so decisively and ruthlessly!

Now, being grabbed by the collar and pulled up by Dylan, he could only try to put on a flattering smile:

"It's... it's my fault, I'm obsessed with money.

I will tell you all the information, and you can take all the money I have.

Please, spare my life..."
