After reaching a cooperation intention, Zuo Si quickly left the Thieves Guild's lair where he felt very uncomfortable.

Because he could always feel that in those dark corners or secret compartments behind the wall, there were always pairs of eyes watching him.

Coupled with the intricate maze and various mechanisms and traps, being willing to take huge risks and come in is already quite a courtesy.

After Zuo Si returned to the inn with the guidance of a thief, Apke stroked his fat chin and asked, "Iron cage and rats? Kulang, what do you think this Lord Soth is going to do?"

“I’m sorry, Chief, I don’t know.

But I once heard someone say that those rat people have some ability to control and communicate with rats.

Perhaps Lord Soth wanted to take advantage of this to poison.

Just like how he used purified ricin to quietly take down more than 200 brutal pirates.

The middle-aged wizard expressed his guess carefully.

Because apart from poisoning, he really couldn't think of any use for catching so many rats.

“Yeah, that makes sense.

It seems that Lord Soth is not only a powerful necromancer, but also a master of poison.

I just don't know what kind of poison he will use this time.

perhaps……

We can spend money to buy some and apply it on the crossbow arrows to achieve better killing effect."

Apke was obviously moved.

For the Thieves Guild, using poison is as common as eating and drinking.

But the problem is that refining and manufacturing poison requires considerable expertise, and it is not something that just anyone can do.

Moreover, many poisons extracted from animals and plants are extremely difficult to preserve.

Often they are just left for a period of time and then go bad before they can be used.

Therefore, a bottle of the finest poison that can kill a person within a few seconds can be sold for 1,000 to 2,000 gold coins on the black market.

Ordinary non-lethal poisons cost at least 200 to 300 gold coins per small bottle.

Courant nodded in agreement: “Good idea.

With the Am's steel crossbow we got this time, and those armor-piercing arrows with amazing penetrating power.

If we apply poison, no one will be able to defeat us in a head-on battle.

However, the ratmen in the sewers are still a considerable threat, and we need to eliminate them before the battle begins."

“Let’s wait until Bernice comes back to discuss this.

I am very curious.

Why did those usually cautious and timid rat people make such a big fuss this time?"

As he said this, there was a deep light in Aipke's eyes, completely different from his usual smiling look.

…

On the other side, Zuo Si, who had just walked near the "Happy Hour" Hotel, saw at a glance that the werewolf children were still gathered at the door of the hotel, confronting the waiter and the boss who were holding sticks and kitchen knives.

Although there was no physical conflict between the two sides, the tense atmosphere could be felt from a distance.

"Don't you guys need to sleep at night?"

Zuo Si broke this meaningless confrontation and mutual suspicion with a half-joking tone.

"Thank God, you're back at last."

The innkeeper was obviously relieved. He waved his hand to signal his employees to put away their weapons, and hurried over, complaining with a sad face: "Sir Soth, please drive these little wolf cubs away quickly. How can I do business in the future with them around?"

"Are you sure you want to drive them away? Chief Aipke gave them a reward of 600 gold coins." Zuo Si shook the slightly heavy leather purse in his hand.

moment!

"Six...six hundred gold coins?!"

The innkeeper's eyes lit up instantly, and he performed his unique face-changing skills on the spot. He immediately forced out a hypocritical smile and said, "For the sake of you and Chief Aipke, I will reluctantly let these little guys stay for a while. After all, they just lost their homes and relatives, and they look pitiful."

"Are you sure? You have to know that they are all werewolves. They will transform and become mindless beasts on the night of the full moon. If it's too difficult, forget it. I'll find another inn." Zuo Si pretended to be hesitant.

"No! No! No! It's not difficult at all."

The boss waved his hands desperately.

"You know, I am a very loving person and I love children the most.

Let them live in my shop and they will never be bullied by anyone.

As for the question of losing your mind on a full moon night.

I'll go to the blacksmith shop and order a few large iron cages, and then we can lock them all up in the cellar."

"In that case, let them live in your shop."

After saying that, Zuo Si threw the purse full of gold coins to the other party.

The latter immediately opened his arms joyfully and caught it steadily, then took two or three steps back before steadying himself.

You should know that in the continent of Faerun, the weight of most standard gold coins is generally around 9.1 grams.

The weight of six hundred pieces is just over five kilograms.

If someone with a stronger body were to use such a bag of gold coins, he could smash his head and cause a bloody mess.

But the hotel owner didn't feel the weight at all. Instead, he ran back to the first floor of the hotel as fast as he could, poured it on the counter, and started counting them one by one.

Zuo Si ignored him and walked straight towards the little werewolves. He said to the leading girl, "Six hundred gold coins, I believe it is enough for you to stay here for a long time. If you need anything, just tell the people in the hotel and they will meet your needs."

"Can we not have the money and change the conditions?" The girl raised her head and stared into the two big black eyes and asked.

"Oh? Why?"

Zuo Si became interested in the girl in front of him who was obviously a little precocious.

After all, six hundred gold coins is a tempting enough number for most people.

Being able to refuse such a large sum of money is not something that anyone can do.

Fangus turned around and looked at the remaining members of his clan, and explained in a very helpless tone: “Money is of no use to us abandoned people.

Because abandoned people are not protected by law.

So no serious merchant would sell us anything.

Those profit-seeking black market traders will decide whether to conduct a transaction or directly rob each other depending on the circumstances.

Given our number and age, we are basically lambs to be slaughtered in the eyes of black market traders.

Not to mention the black market merchants, even the owner of this inn would immediately swallow up the gold coins and drive us away without your help."

After hearing this, Zuo Si immediately understood how bad and harsh the living environment of the beastmen in Kalin Port was. A thoughtful expression appeared on his face: "If money is useless, what conditions do you want to exchange for it?"

"As the current leader of the entire clan, I hope to become your slave or servant and receive your protection." Having said this, the girl knelt down solemnly.

Not only her, but the werewolf children behind her also knelt down one after another.

This sudden strange scene and the incomprehensible request completely confused Zuo Si.

He had seen slaves desperately trying to rebel against their masters to gain their freedom, but this was the first time he had seen one voluntarily become a slave.

Most importantly, why choose yourself?

Is there any other conspiracy here? Zuo Si, whose thoughts are somewhat "Dihua", will immediately fall into a subconscious reaction of "there are always villains who want to harm me" once he finds that something good is coming to him.
