With the best helper around, Ash felt much more at ease.
The two of them disguised themselves during the day, pretending to be local merchants from Mersin, hoping to sneak into the warehouse and take a look...
In this environment where there is so much goods and we need to find a place to store them, the best outcome would be if someone could come and buy them.
Warehouse managers can vacate their warehouses, merchants can sell their goods, and even the fleet's payments can be settled. For many people, these are conditions that benefit all parties.
Therefore, when the warehouse managers heard that a businessman was coming to take a look, they let him in without hesitation. After all, they would need to be checked when he came out, so they were not worried about someone stealing, and they did not dare to steal.
Ash glanced at the City Guards on duty near the warehouse...
"I didn't expect the city's army to be so close. It wouldn't be so easy to get out openly."
"Anything you can think of, the city's administrators can also think of..."
Steele Philomina didn't appreciate Ash's distress. She didn't want to come on this mission in the first place. Perhaps if possible, she would rather attack alone to seize the things in the hands of the Borg soldiers.
But since Ash already knows, it's impossible to do it without anyone noticing... I have to go with him.
"It's not easy to just take it out like this."
The two represent the national wizards of the Bashalan Empire.
Unless they are never caught, any clues found may become a diplomatic trouble for both countries.
We have to make sure there are no strong ones among these troops, and we also have to make sure our identities won't be discovered...
"Anyway, let's go in and take a look first." The two of them followed in.
This kind of seaside warehouse is large enough and crowded. There are many people coming to look at the goods on weekdays... Not everything brought from the southern continent will necessarily sell for a good price. The goods also need to be compared. Some goods with good quality and good condition will not only have a good price, but can even be sold at a higher price.
Therefore, merchants like to choose goods here, and even if they have already purchased them, they will still come to see if there are any shabby places.
And Ash and Steele just kept walking with the crowd...
"This way, I remember that place." He pointed to a place and then led the way himself.
Steele was surprised that the other party had only been in Mersin for a few days and had already figured out the matter he wanted to investigate so thoroughly, even knowing where the goods were placed.
I guess you must have seen it many times before.
"Have you been here before?"
"Yes, and more than once. I've come here many times to compare the amethyst in the records with this thing. They only put one on display for people to see, and keep the others. But the price is very high and most people won't buy them because the quality is not good either." Ash recounted his investigation process over the past few days.
The two went through several warehouses and finally saw the things displayed in a place with few people.
A cart without a horse, and guarded by people...
Because of the hot weather, things are placed inside and you need to go inside to see them.
"That's it!"
Ash said.
The two walked over...
At this time, the sleepy businessman next to him suddenly saw someone coming and immediately put on a smile.
"You two look like distinguished guests. Would you like to come and see the jewels we found in the South China Sea?"
Ash and Steele Philomina were both simply disguised, mainly to avoid being discovered by people who knew them. When the businessman saw the two of them, especially the man, he felt that they looked familiar.
But people come and go here all the time, so I guess I've seen him before and didn't pay much attention to it...
"Are you jewelers?"
"Yes, we are merchants from the Kselke Jewelry Shop, the largest one."
No matter how much people come here, it's not too much, and Steele doesn't care about it.
Because it is jewelry, it looks particularly beautiful when viewed in a dark environment with only a little sunlight.
At the merchant's invitation, the two of them stepped into the carriage to see...
The light dimmed instantly, leaving only a beam of light at the window.
There were only some small samples in here. It was indeed a dazzling array of jewels of various colors, pearls, agates and various exotic stones, but Ash only looked at the purple crystal in the depths.
It’s gone!
"Manager, I remember there was a purple crystal here before?" Ash asked.
"You're asking that? Have you been here before?"
"I've been here..."
Ash asked hurriedly when he saw that the item was missing, not caring about anything else.
"That thing was reserved by a few Borgs, but they seem to have been very late with their payment recently, so we put it away... Are you here for that thing too? Is it really that valuable?"
"Where did you send it?" Ash continued.
"Of course it's in the big warehouse, don't worry. Everything is there... Just in case, we won't take it out for now, until those Borgs gather enough money. Of course, if you have more money, I can sell it to you."
Businessmen are businessmen, and Ai Xiu feels that the group of people in front of him are the kind of unscrupulous businessmen with no bottom line.
You can ask for your own price and resell it with a deposit!
Haha~
Although he despised them many times in his heart, he suddenly realized that if they hadn't done this, he probably wouldn't have been able to find the crystal at all.
"So how much are you asking?"
