Chapter 39 The Whereabouts of the Evil Spirit of Flame
Then Ethan and his team returned to the underground world again. Under the guidance of Gauss, they came to the largest intelligence trading center here.
The place where information is bought and sold is not far from the entrance, and Ethan once again saw the building with a blank sign.
Entering from the main entrance, there is a brightly lit hall, with a long and spacious aisle in the middle, and two rows of small compartments like the "confession room" in the church on both sides of the aisle. There are many people coming and going in the hall. Pedestrians, most of the people who came out of the cubicles were in a hurry. It seemed that they had already got the news they wanted and planned to do something quickly.
"No way, it's so simple?" Ethan complained, "Won't the words spoken in these small cubicles be heard clearly?"
"I've been wondering too...but I haven't been in." Gauss nodded in agreement.
Ethan noticed that there was also a red indicator sign on the door handle of each compartment, which represented someone. It could be seen that as soon as the person inside unlocked the sign, the sign would become "no one".
This kind of visual sense of public toilets... Ethan complained silently in his heart.
They walked along the aisle for a distance, and finally found a compartment with no sign on the door.
Ethan opened the door and looked at the size of the compartment. There was a small chair squeezed into the small space inside. Gauss hurriedly said, "I won't go in, Brother Lother. I'll wait for you outside."
Ethan nodded: "Don't go in there, too, soap, I don't want to squeeze in with you." Then he stepped into the cubicle.
As soon as he entered the door, Ethan felt that the cubicle was much smaller than it looked, especially after he sat on the chair, his legs and back were pushed against the walls on the left and right sides.When the compartment door was closed, the noisy hall sound disappeared, and the compartment was plunged into darkness.
This place is... the end of the day for claustrophobic people.
"Hello." In the quiet and deep darkness, a small window was opened on the wall facing Ethan, and a man's voice came from inside, "Do you want to buy news or sell news. "
"Sell news? Can news still be sold?" Ethan asked.
The voice replied: "Of course, it's just that we only accept news that we judge to be valuable and that we don't know. We verify it first and pay later."
It's the Overlord Clause, Ethan understands it, selling news is too loose, and even if it is sold to them, how can we guarantee that the person who sells the news will not spread the news again and let them waste a lot of money? ?So there must be a very strict operating standard.
"Of course I'm here to buy news. Excuse me... do you know the origin of Hailou Stone?" Ethan asked the most concerned question in his heart with the mentality of trying.
"…sorry, this question is beyond our competence."
Sure enough, Ethan was not surprised. If the origin of Hailou Stone was known so easily, how could it be possible that this thing is still monopolized by the Navy.
"Okay... Then, I want to ask, what information do you have about the 'Evil Spirit of Flame'?" Ethan then asked his purpose of coming here.
"'Evil Spirit of Flame'? Please wait a moment." After the voice finished speaking, the room became quiet again.
In the darkness and silence, Ethan was really bored, so he recalled what happened just now.
Speaking of which, I really should change my weapon. Although the sharpness and hardness of the weapon will increase after being blessed by hellfire, its ability to withstand hellfire is limited, just like when I was at the naval base just now. If Ethan hadn't released the hellfire in the sword at the right time, the sword would have exploded.
I don't know how long it took, when Ethan was thinking wildly, a voice sounded.
"Hello."
This surprised Ethan a little. Unlike the voice just now, it was a woman who was speaking now. Her voice was slightly hoarse, but it didn't make people feel ugly, but instead made people feel a lazy and inexplicable charm.
"Uh, so it seems that the level of this news is very high. Does it need to be handled by a special person?" Ethan teased.
The owner of that voice seemed to be amused by Ethan, so she said reservedly: "This guest, don't be joking, I'm just an ordinary clerk, it's just that the person who wants to buy the news of 'The Evil Spirit of Flame' is too There are too many, so a temporary department was specially set up to deal with such matters."
Hearing the voice paused for a while, he suddenly asked: "Excuse me, guest, are you a 'Bounty Hunter'?"
Ethan wondered: "Why, do you still rely on people to sell news?"
"No, no, that's right." The woman chuckled lightly, "We're giving out this news for free to 'Bounty Hunters'."
"Free?" A sense of doubt arose in Ethan's heart. From Gauss's narration, it can be heard that this place is definitely not a charity. Why are they suddenly so kind?
"Yes, we also conducted an investigation on you just now. It seems that today, you just caught Pudge the Machete?"
"Yes, although I'm just a novice, I'm still a serious bounty hunter." Ethan laughed.
"Then there's no problem." The woman's voice paused for a moment, "This message was delivered orally, please listen carefully. According to our investigation, the first appearance of the 'Evil Spirit of Flame' was in a few months. He disappeared after that fire in the former 'Kingdom of Goa'. But we have information that he has now reached Doyle Island."
"Doyer Island?" Ethan frowned, he had some impression of this place.
After Mr. Koshiro gave him the chart, he spent a lot of effort to memorize all the place names and brief information marked on the chart. For example, Doyer Island is an unnamed island in the East China Sea.The natural environment on the islands in this world is mostly self-sufficient, but this island is different. The natural environment on this island is too barren. In addition, the island itself is not large in size and the products are not rich, so over time there will be no one. Choose to settle there, so it also became a desert island.
But it is such a deserted island, why is it so certain that I appeared there?What are their sources?
Ethan smelled a hint of conspiracy, but he was also relieved.Before he came, he was afraid that the other person would suddenly say, "Hey, that guy from Flame Evil Spirit is sitting opposite me!" In this strange world, maybe there will be someone with special ability who can know his identity directly. What about identity?
Now that he realized that the news here was pure nonsense, Ethan felt relieved, and was about to open the door to leave this crowded small space, but just as he turned his head, he suddenly thought of the permanent pointer, so he asked casually: "By the way , I have one more piece of news...do you know the place 'Berumong'?"
"'Berumong'?" The voice froze for a moment, and then there was a sound of flipping through the information, "Sorry, there is no record about this place. Are you sure you said the place name correctly?"
"I see...Maybe I misremembered." Ethan nodded thoughtfully.
