Chapter 304 (1/2)
Bang.
The sound of a heavy object falling on the ground surprised Andre and others.
”Pain...” the heavy object uttered a whisper like protest.
All the people present looked at the heavy object thrown on the ground by Sean - a teenager.
”My Lord, this...” Andre glanced at the boy, then looked up at Sean. He didn't know what his Lord was doing.
”A member of the thieves guild.” Sean casually moved a chair and put it down. Then he sat down and looked at the boy on the ground who seemed a little stiff and afraid. He said in a deep voice, ”this little guy has fast hands and great courage. He dares to steal my money bag while I'm distracted. If he didn't hit me at last, I'm afraid I'll have to wait until I get back to my senses.” Speaking of the end, Sean stretched out his foot and kicked the boy's ass, saying in a cold voice, ”all right, don't pretend to be wronged and afraid for me.”
The thieves guild is as famous as the brotherhood, mage guild, Knight hall and other large professional organizations on the mainland, but it is very unpopular. In other words, except for the people of the thief system, no one will have any goodwill towards the guild. Even if they are forced to deal with the people of the guild, they will definitely raise twelve points of vigilance and vigilance, and no one dare to take it lightly.
This is because in addition to doing some sneaky things, there is no doubt about the guild's intelligence gathering ability, and if they think they are second, no one dares to think they are first only in terms of breadth rather than professionalism. In addition, the thieves guild also provides services such as assassination, assassination and so on, and even has contact with many other organizations.
The low fee is a proprietary term of the thieves guild.
In fact, this has become a very common phenomenon in the miracle continent: when any stranger goes to a place where there is a thief guild, he is stolen part of his money by the thieves belonging to his guild. Especially those citizens who are going to open shops in the new city, even if they clearly find that someone is stealing their money bags, they will choose to remain silent, because if they resist, the shops they open may not have any business.
The people of the thieves guild will not make trouble with you, but they will let a bunch of hooligans or gangsters sit at the door of your shop. Who dares to buy things from you?
Of course, for those masters with good strength, the thieves guild naturally dare not go too far. They usually take one or two gold coins symbolically. How can ordinary experts or strong people react too much to one or two gold coins? Therefore, they have the right to send beggars and save some possible troubles. In this way, both sides can get along more happily. Even some people will contact the people of the thief guild in this way.
Because of this, this behavior is called low head fee.
However, in Sean's view, this is a virtue similar to the so-called collection of protection fees in the 1970s and 1980s. Sean naturally understood this. After all, he really listened to Andre's nagging all the way, so of course he couldn't be clearer about this rule. But this time, it was the thief guild who hacked a little and directly cut off the money bag containing 80 pan continental gold coins. It was not as simple as lowering the head fee, but that the thieves of the guild looked down on Sean, who is now a master at least.
”Your Excellency, you and the people of the thieves guild...” Andre looked surprised. ”There was a conflict?”
”A little lesson broke the hands and feet of those guys who don't have eyes.” Sean said faintly, ”but don't worry. If you don't kill them, the face of the thief guild is not ugly Since they don't have eyes to pick the wrong person, of course, they also need to pay a little price. Can't I throw these 80 gold coins in vain? Even if I throw the money into the sea, it will make a pop. ”
”No, no, I mean...” Andre's face was obviously nervous. ”Sir, who moved your hand first with the people of the thieves guild?”
”Of course it's your adults.” The young man is really not worried at all. It must be that since disguise is useless, he is too lazy to act, ”I can see that you are familiar with the rules of the trade point. Why didn't you teach your adults? It's fatal to make such a mistake. ”
Sean looked blankly at Andre, but saw the latter show a bitter smile: ”Sir, the rule of the trade point is that private fighting is strictly prohibited. This private fight includes that even if a thief steals your money bag, you can only catch people, but you can't do it first. ”
”That means if my purse is stolen, I can only admit bad luck?”
”Of course not.” The young man looked leisurely. He even dared to stretch and yawn freely here. ”There are trade point rules at the trade point. Even our thieves guild must abide by the rules here. If you catch me, other brothers will certainly come out to stop you. But if you can successfully take me to the chief's residence, we will naturally return the money bag. Therefore, you shouldn't have shot just now, and you broke brother Eminem's hand as soon as you shot. Now young people just can't hold their breath. ”
Sean looked up at Andre, who nodded.
