Chapter 542: Words
At midnight, on a hill somewhere in the northern suburbs of Saint Simion Township, the unique smell of spermaceti candles slowly rose.
As a small bag of nutmeg placed in the gap of the broken wall was taken away by a strange hand, a contract was quickly handed out.
"Brother, I don't want to accept the mission, but can I give you a mission?" Sun Yixie, who was standing in front of the wall, suddenly said this to the strange hand.
After a brief silence, the owner of the hand behind the wall actually responded: "You can actually speak Gorna?"
The voice that responded sounded surprisingly normal, just a nondescript male voice.
"Ah?" Sun Yixie was stunned at first, and stammered, "Ah... yes..." At this point, he paused again, and his tone changed, "After all... I'm not an ordinary person, you know."
Ladies and gentlemen, this is where Brother Sun’s cunningness comes in.
Originally, the other party's reply was beyond Sun Yixie's expectations, but when he stammered "yes", he realized it - the native language of the guy behind the wall might not be a common language in human society, so just "being able to speak" is enough to bluff people.
So will Brother Sun really tell you? Of course not...
It's just that because Sun Yixie's "Kedian Xunwei" magic is still working, and this is a one-on-one dialogue environment, when he speaks to the other party, even if the other party knows many languages commonly used by humans at that time, what he hears will still be his mother tongue.
"Oh?" But the man behind the wall was not stupid. He did not believe Brother Sun's boasting. "Then please step back a few steps and let me take a closer look."
"Well... okay." Sun Yixie hesitated for a moment, but still did as he was told.
A few seconds later, the person behind the wall moved his eyes to the gap where the bricks were missing, looked at Sun Yixie outside, and said, "Oh...it's indeed different."
I don’t know what he saw, but after seeing Sun Yixie, he agreed that Brother Sun was “not an ordinary person”.
"That's easy. What do you need me to do?" After confirming this, the guy behind the wall actually started asking Sun Yixie what task he wanted to assign in the same tone as if he was handling routine business.
Of course, this is not that strange. To put it bluntly, the other party regards Sun Yixie as someone similar to "Mr. Florescu" who does not completely belong to this world. Such people can definitely handle more business than ordinary people.
"I want to find someone named Florescu. Can you help me?" Sun Yixie didn't beat around the bush and immediately put forward his request.
"Ah?" This time it was the person inside the wall's turn to be stunned.
His hesitation made Sun Yixie feel a little uneasy, thinking that maybe he had been exposed...
Unexpectedly, the other party continued in the next second: "Hmm... just find someone, what are you talking about issuing tasks? Just wait."
After saying this, the person behind the wall left without hesitation.
"Old Fu—someone is looking for you!"
Not long after, Sun Yixie heard this shout...
How can I describe this kind of shouting sound? It's like the early years when everyone was still using landline telephones. You made a call to a certain unit to look for someone, and the person who answered the phone put the receiver on the table and walked out of the room to help you call the person. That's the sound you could hear in the receiver.
"Yes, yes, I called you, window S82, hurry up, people are waiting... Hey, what's wrong, you're still not awake at this time? Haha, did you get criticized by your superiors for that matter a few days ago? Are you staying up late to write a self-criticism? Okay, okay, let's talk after work, the same place, I'll treat you today, don't grab it from me..."
Immediately afterwards, a faint voice like this was heard from the opposite side, which successfully changed the image of the man behind the wall from a mysterious trader from another dimension to a middle-aged doorman that could be seen everywhere.
After a while, Florescu's voice finally rang out from the gap in the wall.
"Oh...it's you." The other party had obviously seen from inside the wall that the person waiting outside was Sun Yixie.
"Hmph..." Sun Yixie snorted coldly, imitating the name he had just heard, and said in a sarcastic tone, "Old Fu, it's not easy to find you."
"Stop talking nonsense. What's so difficult about it? It's just that the guy named Dan told you the secret of the broken wall, and then you saw me when you got here," Florescu replied impatiently.
"You know a lot." Sun Yi said jokingly, "Then you also know why I came to you?"
"No one is available." Florescu knew that, so he replied simply, "The one who signed the contract has been made into a 'snack'. If you want one, go find him in the vampire's toilet."
"I don't care about that one, he deserves it, but what about the other two?" Sun Yixie said again.
“Heh…” This time, Florescu laughed. “I can’t give you those two either. Who asked them to rush up and get in my way? I didn’t force them to follow me.”
"Oh? So you mean those two are still alive?" Sun Yixie asked tentatively.
"I didn't say that..." Florescu changed the subject, "But you can ask if you want... Do you want a free answer, or do you want to pay for a more specific answer?"
"Then let me listen to the free answer first." Sun Yixie is also a veteran. At this moment, he has basically confirmed from Florescu's attitude that Huang Donglai and Balde are still alive, so he is not in a hurry.
"The free answer is that I left them somewhere. As for whether they lived or died after I left... hehe..." Florescu was smart enough to give a half-answer.
"Somewhere?" Sun Yixie repeated the four words the other party had replied, and without even thinking about it, he immediately continued in a teasing tone, "Let me guess... when you went to deliver food, you also dropped them off in the vampire's castle, right?"
“Uh…” Florescu was seen through by the other party in an instant, feeling a little embarrassed. Fortunately, he was in the darkness behind the wall at the moment, and Sun Yixie could not see the change of color on his face, so he could take a few seconds to adjust his tone and said, “I can’t say yes, nor can I say no… unless you are willing to give me some more information that requires payment.”
"Hmph... then just name a price first." When it comes to bargaining, Sun Yixie has never been inferior to anyone.
"The trident you have is pretty good." Florescu was also connoisseur of goods and knew that the precious weapon was indeed a good treasure.
"What?" The next second, Sun Yi's tone became even louder, "You want to kill me?"
"Hehe...it's up to you to consider whether saving your brother's life is more important, or the weapon that you regard as your lifeblood is more important." Florescu smiled sinisterly.
Unexpectedly, Sun Yixie's next sentence was: "Oh, I feel relieved when you say that. That means that bitch must still be alive. That's fine. Bye."
"Huh?" Florescu was dumbfounded. He realized it belatedly... He thought that his previous sentence could make the other party feel entangled in pressure, but it actually exposed himself. It was a self-defeating move. "Hey wait! Stay! We can discuss this. I still have information about the castle! It will definitely be useful to you!"
