Chapter 218 5.10 Fire Sharing Meeting (3)

"I" need you to help "me" hide someone.

Nefertiti on the keel was sure that she had heard correctly. If the first task "Finding the Imperial Seal" was the task assigned by Archbishop Susa.

Then the second task should be the private work of this "Flame Herald".

She pricked up her ears and continued to eavesdrop.

"This time I entered the Storm's End Castle with a special mission. I need to secretly help a priest evacuate a hostage!"

"But as everyone knows, it is deep winter now, and the sea around the Scandinavian Peninsula is all frozen! I want to evacuate by boat, but all the waterways have been blocked."

"It is impossible to stay in the wild in winter here. In desperation, I can only ask a gang member for help. Can you help me take in this "hostage" until the beginning of next spring."

"I will immediately organize people to transport him away at that time."

Hostage is a slang term in the underworld, generally referring to the target of kidnapping. After saying this, the gang members looked at each other for a while.

First of all, as a Viking, "living alone" is almost impossible. Especially in the deep winter when the cold wind is raging. If there is a snowstorm, all the residents in the city will even have to enter the Wind's End Castle to avoid the heavy snow under the extremely cold temperature.

In extreme cases, even livestock must be pulled into the house, otherwise they will be frozen to death in the shack even if they have thick fur.

Anyone who is forced to stay at home will be frozen to death indoors, and there is no possibility of survival.

Secondly, everyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a task issued privately by the "Flame Herald", and he has not yet said what the reward is.

Everyone is waiting for the chips he said

"Help me with this, you will receive 200 "denar" gold coins immediately! As long as the meat ticket is still alive in the spring of next year, you will receive an additional 200 as the final payment!"

Not only that, as long as we can complete the docking in the spring, all the members of the Fire Transmission Clerk will receive 20 gold coins!

Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but feel excited.

**

From the moment this person started talking until now, Sophie has been guessing his identity. But as a "student" who needs to go to the church every day for classes, she has too few opportunities to contact the outside world.

In this case, she can't recognize many people in this city.

Moreover, even in winter, perhaps the sea is frozen and the ships cannot leave the port, but many hunters in the Scandinavian Peninsula are also accustomed to traveling in winter. Although the neighboring Dragon's Breath Plateau Province and Frost Ridge Province have become ruins, several cities in the river valley are still alive.

There are also many hunters who come to the market to seek transactions in the wind and snow every day.

From the limited information, Nefertiti can temporarily summarize two points:

1. This person is eager to get rid of the hostage from his hands. For this reason, he even immediately took out a huge sum of 200 gold coins to find a buyer.

2. This person will not stay in the Wind's End Castle for a long time.

He is likely to disappear after getting rid of the hostage and return to redeem the person in the spring of next year.

(From the words, his meat ticket must be a hot potato!)

(Very hot!)

Then the question is, who is this person?

Almost all the members of the Fire Transmission Gang expressed their desire, only the Fire Transmission Priest "Yu Zhongyu" looked at the Flame Herald cautiously through the mask.

Issuing a private task in the "Fire Transmission Gathering". This is against the rules, and all the members of the Fire Transmission Gang understand this.

However, in the Fire Transmission Sacrifice Field hidden in the dark, this kind of thing has not completely happened. Generally speaking, the task issuer will communicate with the Fire Transmission Priest in advance. Both parties confirm what the "goods" are, and the Fire Transmission Priest will issue it on their behalf.

This way, it will be much safer.

But this time, the Flame Herald actually bypassed him and issued the task to the Fire Transmission Gang members without authorization.

This made him question the danger of "meat tickets".

"Excuse me, sir, what is the identity of the hostage, and what is his 'living state'?"

"Yu Zhong Yu" asked this question cautiously, because he suspected that the "hostage" mentioned by the Flame Herald was not a human being.

And his answer really confirmed his idea.

"Hehe" laughed dryly twice, and the Flame Herald waved his hand, "Don't worry about it. This is a living dead who doesn't need to eat or move, and can be stored like a corpse. When storing, you can treat him as an object and put him in a box at will.

"Storing such a person for 4 months, this task must not be difficult! Accept the task and you can get the reward now." As he said, he signaled the servant behind him to take out a heavy purse from his shoulder bag.

The purse containing 200 gold coins was very heavy. The purse fell to the ground, and the yellow gold coins rolled to the ground, attracting the attention of almost everyone in the field.

"I can try, but I am not short of money. Can the herald give me some other rewards? "

The speaker had a strong French accent. Unlike Auntie "Lampshade", he had never disclosed his identity to the public. "Fish in the Deep" only knew that he was a businessman who "seemed" to be from France.

But this was most likely just a cover for his stay at the "Fire Transmission Shrine".

The members of the Fire Transmission Gang in the "Fire Transmission Shrine" will not "treat each other with sincerity" at all. "Yu Zhong Yu" knows that he is not a real Slav, he just deliberately speaks with a Slavic accent.

This time, his true identity is hidden to a great extent to avoid being exposed to the outside world.

Agreed, "Auntie Lampshade" may not be a real washerwoman, and this guy with a French accent may not be a real Frenchman.

"As everyone knows, I am a businessman. I have many stores under my name, and I have as many as 7 warehouses. If it is just a corpse, I may not be able to find it even if I stuff it under the box."

"That won't work. 'Hunt tickets' cannot be suppressed." The Flame Herald replied indifferently.

"Leave this task to me!"

The person who said this had a very hoarse voice.

"I am the gravedigger of Storm's End! When ordinary people encounter birth, old age, sickness and death, I am responsible for burning the bodies and digging graves for burials!"

"A body like this will not arouse too much suspicion from others if it is left with me. So I think it is safest for me to take this task. As for the gold coins, 200 of them will be distributed to all the brothers in the field, and the other 200, can you please take them to my son who is a mercenary in Constantinople, the herald officer?"

"I don't have much time left, so I can't use this money anymore. But he can use these gold coins to redeem himself from his employer as soon as possible, and return to Storm's End to enjoy his old age."
