Before Li Fan could figure out the reason for Charlie's appearance here, a man with a sinister face like a butcher walked over.
"Guest, you haven't paid today's room fee yet?"
The man with the appearance of a butcher is the owner of this hotel. I heard that he was a notorious mercenary when he was young. He was later injured and retired, but his name is still there. Only such a person dares to open a hotel in the sinful town.
The hotel room fee can be paid for several days or even a month at once, or it can be paid once a day. If you forget to pay the room fee any day, your room will be emptied immediately and your luggage will be thrown away.
Li Fan chose to pay once a day. Anyway, his things were kept in the space ring, so he was not afraid of the room being emptied.
Li Fan happily handed over today's room fee - 5 copper coins.
The boss seemed to appreciate Li Fan's behavior, so he provided Li Fan with information about the slave merchant Charlie.
"Normally, slave traders would not come to Sin Town to sell slaves, but that fat pig Charlie was invited this time."
"Howard, the nephew of the Lord of Winter City, was sent to Sinful Town because of a family test. Howard was short of people, so he called a slave merchant and planned to buy some slaves to serve as his subordinates."
"Charlie is rushing to meet Howard at this time."
"This also shows that Charlie does have a group of slaves now, even slaves of good quality. If you want to buy slaves, you can go to Charlie's place."
After saying that, the boss patted Li Fan on the shoulder and left with a smile.
Li Fan looked at the sinister smile on the boss's face, and always felt that the boss might be a supporter of that guy Charlie, otherwise why would he go out of his way to tell him this?
Li Fan is actually a little excited about buying slaves, but now he only has more than 40 silver coins in his body, and he doesn't dare to sell all the Warcraft skins in a short time.
With his wealth, he could only buy a dwarf at most, and at this price, he could only buy a coolie dwarf who couldn't even forge.
Li Fan suddenly became uninterested when he thought of this, and returned to the room.
...
The Mercenary Guild has the most luxurious building in Sin Town, and the second most luxurious building is located next to the Mercenary Guild, which is a huge manor.
The manor is called Caton Manor, and its owner is the famous Lord of Winter City, Lenny Caton.
Of course, the person who lives here now is Lanny Caton's nephew, Howard Caton.
At this time, in the Cotton Manor, Howard, a silver-haired man, was sitting on the sofa with a sullen face, his triangular eyes filled with viciousness, staring quietly at the slave merchant Charlie in front of him.
Charlie felt as if he was being stared at by a venomous snake, and the clothes behind him were already soaked in cold sweat when his eyes dodge.
Howard stared at Charlie silently for five minutes. When Charlie's legs were shaking and he almost fainted on the spot, he spoke.
"Tell me Charlie, what's going on?"
Charlie shivered for a long time, and then whispered back: "Master Howard, this is all an accident."
"Accident?"
Howard's face became even more gloomy, as if he could squeeze out water, "Dozens of elf slaves and goods worth thousands of gold coins have all been lost now, and only a half-dead dark elf has been captured. Are you telling me it was an accident?" Charlie, you know, I really want to chop you up and feed it to my dog right now!"
Charlie's whole body trembled, and he almost knelt down on the spot. He knew very well that the master in front of him, who said he would chop people up and feed them to dogs, would really chop people up and feed them to dogs, because Howard had done this kind of thing many times. .
Charlie didn't want to be chopped up and fed to the dogs, so he hurriedly explained: "Master Howard, you can't blame me for this. For your plan, we pretended to be bandits and successfully attacked the gathering place of the elves. We have already captured many people. Elves, as long as they are transported to the empire, they can quickly exchange for a lot of gold coins. However, I don't know who leaked the information. A seriously injured wood elf was rescued by her companions more than ten days ago. Some The elves knew the truth and kidnapped all the elven slaves when they were about to enter the empire's territory. If the dark elves were not spurned by the elves, that dark elf would have been rescued long ago."
No one expected that the purpose of Charlie, a slave trader, coming to Sinful Town was not to sell slaves at all, but to mix with Howard, the nephew of the city lord, and implement a plan to rob the elves.
Although the two parties are in a cooperative relationship, it can be seen at a glance that Charlie's status cannot be compared with Howard.
At this time, Charlie looked at Howard's face carefully and found that there was no sign of an attack. Then he continued tremblingly: "So you can't blame me for this, but the person who leaked the information."
When Howard heard this, he frowned. Although there was constant friction between elves and humans, the nephew of the border city lord pretended to be a bandit and robbed each other's population. If it was known, it would still cause a lot of trouble, or even... a war.
Howard was getting more and more annoyed as he thought about it. This time, he had lost everything, "Who? Then who leaked the information?"
Charlie looked embarrassed, but he didn't dare to conceal it, "I...I don't know, we are still fully investigating."
Howard was stunned by these words, and the next moment his triangular eyes revealed a chilling viciousness.
Howard laughed angrily, "Haha, that means what I just said is actually your guess. It's also possible that no one leaked the information at all. It's even more likely that your carelessness caused the wood elves to escape, thus attracting the elves to rescue them. A prisoner?"
When Howard said this, Charlie's face turned extremely pale, and he quickly explained, "No, Master Howard, that wood elf is only a level 2 warrior, because she resisted the most fiercely at that time and was almost killed by us on the spot. Then It is impossible to recover from this injury immediately, it is only possible that her companions saved her, so someone must have leaked the information to her companions before that."
Fortunately, Li Fan was not present. If Li Fan had been present, he would probably have discovered that he had inadvertently sabotaged an elf abduction case in order to activate the system.
Howard didn't care about Charlie's explanation. He only knew that his plan failed, and the reason for the failure was related to Charlie.
"In the final analysis, it was your greed that caused the trouble. If you hadn't wanted to sell the dying wood elves, you wouldn't have been taken advantage of. You lost the wood elves and leaked our affairs. Charlie, could it be me? Have you been too kind recently, making you think that my mission is irrelevant?"
Howard benevolent?
Charlie seemed to have heard the funniest joke in his life, but of course he didn't dare to say it in front of Howard.
Charlie could only desperately guarantee that the identity of the leaker would be found out as soon as possible.
Seeing the killing intent surging in Howard's eyes, Charlie couldn't hold on anymore and knelt on the ground and begged bitterly.
After several times of uncertainty on Howard's face, he finally seemed to endure it and scolded, "I'll give you three days to find out who the leaker is. I'm going to torture him to death with my own hands. Get out of here now."
After hearing this, Charlie ran away as if he had been granted amnesty.
