The Night Adorer Chapter 24: Door business


   When the brilliance of the morning sun shines through the clouds, it quietly casts on the steel code tower in the center, reflecting the mottled shadows.

  73 Nancy Avenue, townhouse.

   Sulman opened his eyes when the sunlight penetrated into the room, got up and put on a brand new white linen shirt and brown vest, then put on a long black double-breasted gown, went to the bathroom and used charcoal to refresh I repeated my teeth and came out with full energy.

   On the round table in the lobby on the second floor, a rich breakfast has been set up——

   Oatmeal bread spread with cream, topped with two fried northern sausages, and a cup of fresh milk delivered. This is Sulman’s breakfast. Of course, he also has a similar breakfast next to him. And Ibis in the seat.

   This is the responsibility of being a ‘maid’. She has to get up half an hour earlier than Sulman to make these breakfasts.

   At this moment, Ibis is yawning. After all, she slept too late, and she was not extraordinary like Sulman, with higher physical attributes than ordinary people.

   "Being lack of energy in the morning is not a lady's behavior." Sulman sat across from her, picked up the milk with satisfaction, and enjoyed the pleasure of eating.

   Ibis gave him a blank look, and also picked up the bread. After Sulman started eating, she was only eligible to enjoy the food as a ‘maid’. However, in the face of the hearty breakfast, Ibis was triumphant, biting the bread slowly, chewing her white teeth with a bit of reluctance and nostalgia.

   She thought of yesterday’s supper, the soft bread soaked in the delicious soup, unconsciously, made Ibis’s taste buds tremble, and the bread covered with butter in front of her looked dull and tasteless.

   Sulman glanced at her, as if he could see through his mind. The next moment, he gently coughed: "The new house lacks a lot of things. We need to purchase some new furniture and daily necessities. You have time in the afternoon. Come with me to the furniture market."

   "Yeah." Ibis nodded casually, in a nonchalant manner.

   Sulman added: “After we bought the furniture, we had to go to the market again when we came back on the way, in the butcher’s shop, the bakeries... the next week. Food, besides, when I was cooking food tonight, you were studying next to me."

   Ibis' eyes lit up, and the small throat under her white neck swallowed gently. She hurriedly agreed: "Okay!"

   Ling Ling Ling!

   At this time, the doorbell rang from downstairs, interrupting the communication between the two.

  Who? After coming to visit so early, it was clear that not long after I moved into the city of Steel, I knew not many people... Sulman thought about it for a moment and roughly guessed the identity of the visitor. He swallowed the bread in his hand. Go down, get up and go downstairs.

   "You clean up the table."

  ".........."

   Under the gaze of Ibis, Sulman came to the door downstairs. As soon as he opened it, he saw a middle-aged man with a chubby figure and a black coat with a half-height silk top hat. The facial features are round and the face is familiar, standing in front of him.

  —is a board member of the Lionheart Chamber of Commerce, Chris Sharp.

   "Good morning, Mr. Sulman."

   "Please forgive me for visiting..." With a friendly smile, Chris took the initiative to stretch out his hand, but Sulman stared at him and found that Chris's face was slightly slightly She was whitish, with the other palm hanging down beside her, pinching the corner of her clothes from time to time.

   Chris was very nervous...Sulman smelled the ‘task’, and he couldn’t help it. As a wastelander in his previous life, he had developed an extremely keen sense of plot. For example, last night’s "Dark Eye Core", ordinary people would not think about using the "Dream of the End" to explore its origins, but Sulman realized that this is the biggest difference between him and ordinary players.

   Sulman glanced behind the other party and found that Chris had come in a carriage with a'lion hair' badge on the carriage. Obviously, this is a carriage of the Lionheart Chamber of Commerce, not rented on the road. The temporary bus, so the other party also came on behalf of the official business.

   "If you have anything, let's get in the car and talk about it."

   "Thank you."

  Chrisph understood what he meant, and hurriedly gratefully opened the door of the car, and personally led Sulman into the carriage. Then, he twisted his fat body and climbed into the carriage with difficulty.

  "Leaving, let's go to the Hope Hall."

   Hearing Chris's instructions to the coachman, Sulman's heart moved, Hope Hall, this is a famous building in Steel City.

   It is located in the middle section of the Tyre River. On the left is the'Day and Night Bridge', which is related to the dividing line between the Jazz District and the Steelmaking District. On the right is the entrance street of the Imperial District. The commercial center in Gangdian City is an absolute prime location with every inch of gold.

  On this site that is more precious than gold, I hope that the hall occupies a lot of space. It is the structure of an opera house with multiple floors, but it is larger than the opera house. It is usually used as an artist’s stage for a fee. high. At the same time, it also needs the qualifications to lease. If the reputation is not enough, the rich cannot lease it. This is the highest palace for the artists in the steel city.

   In addition to this, the Hope Hall has another function, that is, an annual festival held throughout the cold northern region.

  -Northern Auction.

   As expected, Sulman watched Chris get in the car, and before he waited for him to ask questions, the latter was extremely eager and started to talk about the topic: "Mr. Sulman, have you successfully qualified as a bounty hunter? I have a little trouble. Regarding the Northern Auction, I want to entrust you to do it once..."

   Sulman did not speak, but took out the iron badge from his arms and wore it on his chest. It was the identity of the gray iron hunter.

   Seeing this situation, Chris's face was overjoyed: "I know that this assessment is not a problem for you at all!"

  No, those two creepy fog monsters are still a bit tricky...Sulman didn’t explain the details to him, and waited quietly for the other party’s follow-up. Sure enough, after Chris was overjoyed, from below Taking out the red wine from the secret compartment, he poured a glass of Sulman very graciously.

   "Regarding the Northern Auction, as a person who grew up in the cold north of the country, whether you are an old man or a child, you must have heard of it." Chris didn't forget to pour himself a glass, and drank it like a decompression. , He sighed: "Every civilized city-state will hold a'Northern Auction' on the eve of the cold wave. This is a traditional festival for the upper class.

   On this day, no matter what the source is, as long as the value is sufficient, it can be placed in the Northern Auction. "

   "Hehe, whether it's precious and rare goods or... living human beings."

   "Goods that are not allowed by the Code on weekdays can also be recognized by the auction, only on this day."

  Chrisf probably thought of something, and thanked Sulman: "Thanks for your shot, otherwise, we have become a source of goods. With the white wolf group's channels, some of them can hide from the inspection, or even buy the city. Guard, that result is beyond my imagination."

   "So, the Lionheart Chamber of Commerce's punishment is related to the Northern Auction?" Suhlman interjected suddenly.

   "Yes."

   Christophe smiled bitterly: "Due to my poor decision-making, the entire caravan was in a major crisis and suffered a loss of reputation. Those travelers who have no background are fine to say, but two of them are descendants of nobles. 'S complaint puts me in an awkward situation."

   If you know that there is a hidden daughter of the chief priest in that caravan, Ibis, the only child of the Fielding family, and the escaped descendant of the Stuart family, I don’t know, you Is he still able to laugh...Sulman sneered, of course, he also knew the other party's motives.

   It seems that the Northern Auction will be held soon, and the Lionheart Chamber of Commerce has received some security tasks, but this work is not a good job, there is nothing to do, there are faults and responsibilities, and they are properly backed up. This kind of bad errands, generally speaking, it is not Chris' turn, and people who are about to be promoted to senior directors will go up. However, his fault makes the promotion worry, and now he has to make up for it.

   Sure enough, Chris's statement is consistent with Sulman's guess——

  "The five chambers of commerce in Steel City, including the Lionheart Chamber of Commerce, have all received requests to hire personnel."

  "The Lionheart Chamber of Commerce threw this to me..."

   "My men, capable people have lost a lot in the White Wolf group attack, I can only ask you for help."

   Sulman nodded slightly. He owed him a little favor. It was Chris used to get the qualifications of the bounty hunter and find the house in the city. Of course, Sulman also saved Strictly speaking, the death of the other party can be regarded as not owing favor.

   But considering that the Lionheart Chamber of Commerce has been operating in the City of Steel for many years, he first arrived in the City of Steel, even if he has the memory of his previous life, in some places, he still needs to go out of his way and have a good relationship with the Lion Heart Chamber of Commerce. It was very helpful to him.

   the most important point,

   The rewards for the security tasks of the Northern Auctions are definitely not bad. I’m not sure, there will be goodwill of the local forces. Once the goodwill is up to the standard, you don’t need to join the camp and you can get some privileges.

   In addition to these benefits, there are also experience points for mission rewards, which Sulman desperately needs.

   Thinking of this, Sulman turned to Chris and nodded gently: "Yes, I, as your client, will help you complete the mission indicators of the Chamber of Commerce. However, I am a little curious about such an important thing. , Don’t the nobles in Steel City find a bounty guild?"

   Bounty Guilds are the number one force for employment. In such matters, it is obvious that they should be considered first.

   Hearing this, Chris gave a wry smile: "Why didn't you find it? But ~IndoMTL.com~The bounty guild told us that their president and the patrol are working together to hunt down the descendants of the Stuart family , There is no free time to take care of this. One of the remaining two silver hunters is on a mission, and the other heard that he came back last night, but it seems that the injury is serious. I am afraid she wants to recuperate and is unwilling to accept the commission.. ......"

   This matter also seems to be related to me... Sulman was very self-aware and didn't ask any more.

   During the next journey, the two were silent. Sulman took this opportunity to submit the task triggered yesterday, which is the task of killing the two ghosts, and received another 700 experience rewards.

   Unfortunately, due to the help of the aboriginal people in the mission, Katie, Scarcey and others have done a lot of strength, resulting in the completion of not 90%, only 78% of completion, from the perspective of professional players Look, it's also very good.

   After all, not every task can reach more than 90%. In fact, even a professional player in a previous life does not necessarily have a task that can reach more than 90% every month. Occasionally, it can be encountered once in two months. That's pretty good.

   Therefore, 90% completion is an absolute watershed, even for ordinary tasks, once completed, there are amazing rewards.

   It’s a pity that the character level cannot be higher than the difficulty of the task. This alone limits a large number of people who want to use high levels to improve their completion, and those who can do this often are worthy of being called 'The wastelander'.

   He was thinking, suddenly, the carriage in front of him stopped, and Chris opened the door wittily and led Sulman out of the car.

   After landing, the two raised their heads to see an extremely splendid opera-style hall unfolding in front of them.

   This is the Hall of Hope.

   is also the place where the Northern Auction will be held soon.
