Xu Ning glanced speechlessly at Elhesen, who remained calm and composed beside him.
“I’m increasingly convinced that meeting you under the tree was a carefully orchestrated conspiracy. I’ve definitely fallen into a trap, haven’t I? Just admit it and let me give up, because I’m starting to feel like I’m just a tool to you.”
Al-Hysen led Xu Ning to a pile of goods at the dock.
"To be precise, it's because my identity is too conspicuous here that I have no choice but to rely on you. After all, in the short time I've been off the ship, I've already seen at least five disciplinary officers searching around the dock."
Xu Ning casually leaned against the goods and drank his wine. "Are you sure you didn't see wrong? I heard from the wind that those mercenaries are almost organizing an auction."
"Thanks to the efforts of a certain missing Grand Disciplinary Officer, the Disciplinary Officers of Sumeru are actually a fairly capable group. The reason they are so lenient is probably because they are playing the long game. When you go to investigate the knowledge of the divine jars, try not to have any contact with them."
"got it."
Xu Ning, carrying a gourd of wine, swaggered out from the pile of goods and walked straight toward a table in front of a food stall.
"Friend, this seat is taken."
The young man with the red headscarf, one of the two burly men at the table, spoke to Xu Ning with displeasure.
Xu Ning ignored him completely, sat down, shook his wine gourd, and poured out a golden Mora on the table.
"Leaving aside whether you have any information to sell, this one word 'friend' is worth 100,000 Mora."
The young man in the red headscarf reached out and held the still-rolling Mora in his hand, rubbing it for a moment before carefully examining Xu Ning.
"Liyue people?"
Xu Ning knew these people's doubts and naturally maintained a high degree of wariness towards people of unknown identity.
However, this only applies to people from Sumeru, since no one knows whether the person asking them for information might be a disciplinary officer from the Order of the Instruction!
However, his foreign identity posed no threat to these mercenaries. Xu Ning shook his wine gourd. "Liyue... the most famous wine merchant."
The woman in the red headscarf scoffed, somewhat dismissive of Xu Ning's self-praise. She toyed with the Mora in her hand and casually asked, "What kind of information are you looking to buy?"
“That thing.”
Redbanda and her companion exchanged a glance, and she sneered, "What would a wine merchant from Liyue need that for?"
Now it was Xu Ning's turn to sneer.
"Buy? What can you do with that kind of thing? We worship the great Rock King Emperor."
Xu Ning picked up the gourd and took a sip of wine. "I just heard there was such a thing and was curious to take a look."
The man in the red headscarf said expressionlessly, "The intelligence fee is 500,000 Mora."
Xu Ning took the gourd away from his mouth and, to the astonishment of the two men, casually poured out five more Mora.
The woman in the red headscarf was already drawn to the Dust Concealment Gourd. "Next week, at four o'clock this afternoon, at the pier of the Pharos Lighthouse, I will take you to meet the buyer of that thing."
Xu Ning picked up the gourd, stood up, took a step, and then turned back.
“Brother Xu never shortchanges his friends. You might as well give that buyer a heads-up beforehand: five million Mora, that’s a fair price. If the deal goes through, you’ll still make a profit of five hundred thousand Mora.”
