Game of the World Tree - Chapter 279

279. Chapter 277 Hidden Mission, Saving Fellows

In the reception hall of the Sauron Chamber of Commerce,

a young black-haired noble, accompanied by a red-haired afro follower, stood in the hall, admiring the murals on the wall.

The mural depicts a knight wearing armor and holding a lance, with sharp eyes and a majestic appearance.

“This look is so cool…”

The red-haired follower looked at the knight on the mural with envy in his eyes.

The black-haired noble noticed the name on the mural:

“Sauron…”

After hearing his words, the follower was slightly stunned:

“Brother Mu, can you understand the words in this game?”

The black-haired noble shook his head:

“I couldn’t understand it at first, but after the version update, I found that these words can be adjusted to Chinese in the system settings.”

The red-haired follower: …

The noble and the follower are naturally Li Mu and Demacia pretending to be.

After discussing with other players, they immediately came to the residence of the Sauron Chamber of Commerce according to the address given by Anders.

Of course, the identities of the two have changed slightly at this moment.

Among them, Li Mu pretended to be a young nobleman from the south, and Demacia was his butler.

The reason for doing this is very simple.

Demacia is good at fooling people, but it always gives people an unstable feeling.

Some temperaments… are really engraved in the bones, and it is likely that he will be exposed in an instant if he pretends to be a nobleman.

Li Mu is much more stable. Although he doesn’t know what a nobleman looks like, it is better than Demacia.

In short, silence is golden.

So… after the two discussed, one pretended to be a nobleman and the other pretended to be a butler. Demacia did the work of trading NPCs, and Li Mu’s task was to stabilize the other party and pretend to be a BOSS.

And everything else was left to Demacia.

As for Li Mu’s ability to understand the common language, it has to start from this version update.

Although it is not stated in the update log, in order to make it easier for players to communicate with native NPCs, Eve has added the translation function to the game system.

If necessary, players can directly translate the text they see into Chinese.

Of course, this ability is only one-way, and the Chinese written by players cannot be converted into the language of the world of Segos.

“The one hanging on the wall is the patriarch of our family.”

As the two were chatting in a low voice, suddenly, a hearty laugh came from behind them.

Li Mu and the other man were moved and turned around calmly.

Behind them stood a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes and a wig.

He smiled and was very kind, like a kind elder, and next to him stood a respectful waiter.

The middle-aged man was naturally Cage, the branch president of the Sauron Chamber of Commerce.

When he saw Li Mu and the other two, he saw that they were unusual at first sight.

Black Iron Upper!

His heart couldn’t help but beat violently.

Two such young guys, their strength has reached the Black Iron Upper!

It seems… they are indeed nobles from the south.

Such strength is not something that ordinary civilians can achieve, and…

Cage’s eyes paused slightly on the clothes of the two.

As the president of the Chamber of Commerce, he knows a lot of news.

These two people, even the young man dressed as an attendant, were wearing the styles that were popular recently among the nobles of the Southern Kingdom of Iris.

Such clothes were extremely expensive, and their Chamber of Commerce was still reselling them a few months ago.

They were nobles, and wealthy nobles!

Cage made a further judgment in his heart.

However, when he noticed that the two people were well hidden, but still had a trace of restraint, and their behavior lacked the temperament and background of the nobles, he made a further judgment on their identities…

They were not nobles, and their family education might not be very good. They might be typical nouveau riche nobles in the Kingdom of Iris.

This kind of nobles… have always had a shallow foundation.

Thinking of this, Cage’s smile became more kind.

While Cage was looking at the two people, the two people also looked at Cage.

Cage did not hide his professional aura.

Therefore, when the two saw him for the first time, they roughly judged through the system that he was a professional of the middle level of Black Iron.

However, although the middle-aged man dressed as a noble was not very strong, the respectful waiter beside him gave the two a very dangerous feeling.

I feel that this kind of thing is quite accurate in “Elf Kingdom”. If they can feel a sense of threat, it means that the other party is definitely very strong!

“Brother Mu, that waiter may be silver.”

Demacia typed in the chat channel.

“Well, act according to the original plan and start your performance.”

Li Mu replied.

However, before the two of them could speak, Cage spoke first:

“Hello, two young professionals! I am Cage Soran, the president of the Maple Leaf City branch of the Soran Chamber of Commerce. Are you the members of the caravan introduced by Anders?”

He smiled, as if he was talking to an old friend, which made people feel kind.

However, the two players who already knew the details of the other party in advance were extremely vigilant.

Li Mu took out Anders’ note from his bosom, handed it to Cage, and said:

“Hello, President Cage, we are members of the Blue Star Caravan of the Kingdom of Aris. I am the caravan leader Li Mu, and this is my butler and attendant Demacia. Mr. Anders introduced us to you and wants to do some business with you.”

Cage nodded slightly, and then took the note from Li Mu.

When he recognized Anders’ handwriting on the note and some hints left by the other party, he also had a better understanding of the situation of the visitor.

A young noble from the south, pretending to be a caravan, and very interested in elf slaves!

Cage already had an 80% guess in his mind.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if he is or not, as long as he comes and is introduced by Anders, that’s enough.

Thinking of this, Cage’s face was suddenly filled with smiles:

“It is indeed the handwriting of Anders. Since you are Anders’ friends, you are naturally my Cage’s friends. Our Sauron Chamber of Commerce does not have much else, but a lot of various rare treasures. I wonder… Mr. Li Mu, what kind of deal do you want to make with us?”

After hearing his words, Li Mu winked at Demacia, and Demacia stepped forward and laughed:

“Of course it’s a big deal! President Cage, we heard from Mr. Anders that you have elf slaves here? Hehe, we are very interested in elf slaves, well… money is not a problem.”

Sure enough, they came for the elves.

And… they are not short of money.

Cage’s heart moved.

For a moment, the smile on his face became brighter and more friendly:

“Of course, the elf trade is the biggest business of our Sauron Chamber of Commerce. Anders is right to tell you so.”

“You came at the right time. We just received a batch of goods a few days ago. If you are interested, we can go and have a look together.”

After saying that, he turned his head and winked at an old butler on the other side.

The old butler was stunned for a moment, then retreated with a look of realization.

“I have arranged it. If you two are interested, you can go with me to take a look. However… the slave room is being cleaned now. It is very dirty and the smell is not very pleasant. It may take a while before you can go in.”

“Why don’t you have a cup of coffee produced in the southern continent here first, let’s chat, wait a minute, it will be almost there in ten minutes.”

Cage invited enthusiastically.

Li Mu and Demacia looked at each other and nodded.

So, at Cage’s enthusiastic invitation, the two sat down in the reception hall, drinking coffee while chatting with Cage.

The content of the chat was naturally around the customs and customs of Maple Leaf City and the origins of Li Mu and the others.

However, the latter always laughed it off, which made Cage, who was trying to get some words, a little depressed.

Soon, the old butler of the Chamber of Commerce came back.

He came to Cage and whispered a few words in his ear.

Cage was refreshed. He turned his head and smiled at Li Mu and Demacia, saying,

“Okay, the slave room has been cleaned. You two, we can go and take a look at the goods now.”

After that, he stood up and made a gesture of invitation.

Li Mu and Demacia were also refreshed. They also stood up from their seats and followed quietly.

Under the guidance of the old butler, Cage accompanied the two players into the interior of the Chamber of Commerce and came to a building surrounded by high walls.

Looking at the building in front of him that looked like a bunker, Cage’s face was full of pride:

“This is where our Chamber of Commerce holds slaves. This is built in imitation of the Vermandois Prison in the capital of the Empire. It is extremely solid!”

“Come in, all the slaves of our Chamber of Commerce are inside.”

After that, he walked in first.

Li Mu and Demacia took a deep breath and then stepped into the door composed of thick iron railings.

The interior of the building was very dim and the air was a little turbid. Only the torches on the walls on both sides illuminated everything.

On both sides were cell-like single rooms, where all kinds of slaves were imprisoned, including orcs, half-orcs, lizardmen, tauren… and even some rare beasts of Warcraft.

Of course, there were also humans.

However, these were not the targets of the two people’s trip.

They just looked at those strange races, and marveled at them. At the same time, they followed Cage’s steps and walked deeper…

After walking for a few more minutes, they finally came to a cell with better light and relatively clean. Here, Li Mu and Demacia finally saw their target this time – elves!

There were a large number of elves imprisoned here. Looking around, there were at least 20 to 30 of them, both male and female, with more females.

Not only that, their age was generally not very old. The oldest looked like a human in his thirties, and the youngest was just a child.

In addition to these elves, there were more than a dozen strange elves imprisoned in the cell on the other side. Although they also had pointed ears, the length of their ears was less than two-thirds of that of ordinary elves.

This… was a group of half-elves!

Just after Li Mu and his companions saw these elves, a new system message suddenly appeared in their field of vision——

【Ding——】
