At this moment, three players lined up to ask the information merchant at the Sewage Alley Tavern to buy information.

Muchen ranked fourth.

It was his turn after a while.

The intelligence dealer was about fifty or sixty years old. He had a bald head, a thin build, and a wrinkled face. He was dressed in black thieves' leather armor, and was equipped with a dagger and a powder pistol at his waist.

It's Muchen's turn.

The intelligence merchant asked: "Are you here to buy information?"

"Um."

The intelligence merchant didn't waste any time. He took out a piece of yellowed parchment and handed it to Mu Chen.

He said: "There is information and prices above, you can take a look."

Muchen glanced at the contents on the parchment.

F-level information: Complete collection of monsters in the Ashes Plains.

Price: 500 gold coins.

F-level information: Ranta Village experience dungeon guide.

Price: 500 gold coins.

E-level intelligence: Analysis of the weaknesses of the Lord Boss, the Fire Goblin King.

Price: 1000 gold coins

D-level information: Collection location of black iron-level forging material pyrotechnics.

Price: 2000 gold coins.

.....

Information sold by information merchants.

They are all related to the surrounding areas of Raging Flame City.

Muchen looked at it for a while, but did not see any interesting information on the parchment, and immediately asked: "I plan to go to Night Town in the near future, do you have any suggestions?"

"Night Town?"

The intelligence dealer said with a strange expression: "Young man, I advise you not to go. In the past two years, Night Town has not been peaceful."

"What happened there?" Muchen asked.

The intelligence dealer said: "I'll tell you five thousand gold coins."

"good."

Muchen didn't hesitate and agreed immediately.

"You pay first, five thousand gold coins." the intelligence merchant said.

"You tell me first, and then I'll give you the money."

"No, give me the money first, and then I'll tell you. These are the rules. If you don't abide by them, I won't do your business."

"All right."

Muchen had no choice but to pay first.

He took out the money bag Paul the tavern owner gave him.

Five thousand gold coins were counted from it and given to the information merchant.

"The old president of the Thieves' Guild in Night Town has disappeared, and the new president has not yet been elected. The Thieves' Guild has no one to manage it and is becoming increasingly chaotic!"

The intelligence merchant sighed.

"Then what?"

The intelligence merchant spread his hands and said: "No, I have taken root in Raging Flame City. I haven't been back for many years, so I only know this much."

"Then why did the old president disappear?"

"have no idea."

"Why is Night Town closed and why are outsiders not allowed in?"

"have no idea."

Muchen said angrily: "You don't know anything. Didn't I spend so much money in vain?"

The intelligence merchant said with a smile: "The price is clearly marked, so no one can deceive you.

I want five thousand gold coins, you can negotiate the price, why did you agree so quickly?"

This can only be blamed on you and no one else."

"You profiteer."

Muchen's eyes were filled with murderous intent and he said, "Old man, I advise you to open one eye when you go to bed at night!"

The intelligence merchant sneered: "You're bluffing me! I'm a level 40 thief, and I'm still afraid of you, a young boy!"

"If you were still strong, would you still have a musket on your waist to defend yourself?"

Muchen laughed and said:

"Who are you trying to scare?"

Thieves specialize in skills, and assassins specialize in assassination.

Neither of these two professions can use muskets or magic crystal guns.

First, the sound of shooting is too loud and it is easy to be exposed.

Second, the power of guns is limited, and bullets and magazines are expensive. Using guns is not as cost-effective as using poisoned crossbows and concealed weapons.

From the intelligence merchant's belt comes a dagger and a musket.

Muchen guessed the truth behind the weak intelligence merchant.

Earned 5,000 gold coins and made a lot of money.

The intelligence dealer felt a little guilty and was also afraid of Muchen's revenge.

He then said: "Well, let me give you another piece of information, buy one get one free for 5,000 gold coins, okay?"

"Then do you know where the black market in Blazing City is?"

"What black market?"

"Dark market." Muchen whispered.

"have no idea."

"Well, remember to close the doors and windows at night, otherwise I will come to find you."

After Muchen finished threatening, he stood up to leave.

The intelligence merchant was afraid and hurriedly stopped him, "Stay, stay!"

"I ask you again, where is the dark market?"

The intelligence merchant hesitated for a while before squeezing out a few words through his teeth: "You can go to Mouse Alley. There is a dwarf named Gale there. He knows how to get to the dark market."

"You can help me introduce another thief. I want to go to Night Town and I need a guide." Muchen said.

"I don't need to introduce you. This tavern is full of thieves. As long as you can afford the money, there will be people willing to work for you."

Muchen's eyes swept over the many NPCs in the tavern.

As the intelligence dealer said, most are thieves.

"I'll come back later to hire a thief guide. It's not urgent. I'd better go to Mouse Alley first before talking about anything else."

Muchen left the noisy Sewage Alley Tavern.

After many twists and turns, he came to the notorious Mouse Alley again.

Rat Alley is a slum in Flame City, where many poor people, low-class people and criminals gather.

Rat Alley is full of burn marks.

The building was in ruins, and the smell of burning things filled the air.

Because the Fire Temple believes in the god of fire and ashes.

In Flame City, fire is a good omen.

If a fire breaks out, the Flame Priest strictly prohibits people from putting it out, even if they burn people to death.

Therefore, the buildings in Raging Flame City are all made of stone.

Fire-resistant and burn-resistant.

There are criminals in Mouse Alley, and the Flame Temple knows that they will come to Mouse Alley to set fire to them every once in a while.

It is unclear whether criminals have been burned to death.
