AXIJIM: The Lost Prince

Suspicious Traders

OFFICER 3

...----------------...

On the way to the market.

"I have to investigate this matter, before I have investigated the same.

At that time there was also a case of the theft of a sword, an ancient sword belonging to a large kingdom, which was kept by a citizen.

The thief also damaged the door of the residents' house and damaged it exactly the same as the one in the host Centa, is this the same perpetrator?.

At that time according to the characteristics given, I managed to find the lost citizen's sword, the sword was sold by an antique dealer in the market.

I asked where did the sword get it from ? and who sold it ? at the merchant but he only mentioned the sword he got from someone who did not want to mention his identity.

And I was forced to redeem the sword for a very high price.

All that for the sake of comfort and trust from the villagers, unfortunately until now I have not been able to find the culprit.

And this is the time, when he strikes again, I must be able to unmask who is responsible for this theft case" the officer muttered along the way.

The officer arrived at the market.

"Well, now I have to act like a regular buyer, lest anyone recognize me, (looking at the people in the market) there seems to be a lot of suspicious faces here."

The officer continued to search the market looking for antique sellers there.

After a long time the officer suckled the market.

"Antiques, antiques, let's buy it here".

It was faintly heard by the officer the sound of the merchant offering his wares.

"It looks like I heard something" (looking for the source of the sound).

"Antiques, antiques, let's buy here."

"Right, that's the antiques dealer's voice" (still looking for the source of the sound).

Where's she?. The crowded market conditions made the officer difficult to find the origin of the sound source.

When he looked to the right, he saw an antique dealer in the corner of the market offering his merchandise.

"that's it, I'd better pretend I want to buy it and ask where it came from."

The officer came to the merchant.

"Greetings, is this really an antique store?."

"Really, come! please take a look around."

"Sell anything here?" ask the undercover officer.

"Many masters, there are swords, urns, daggers, arrows, stoves, etc."

"Oh... Shoppers here are most often looking for ancient heirloom objects such as from the type of sword and dagger."

"May I see the swords sold here."

"Sure sir, come with me."

"This sir, look (shows his ancient swords)."

"How can I know that there is a sword in between here belonging to Mr. Centa, I just do not know the characteristics" muttered Centa.

"Master! can you show me which sword costs the most ?."

"Oh, this master pointed at the sword that had a very beautiful motif."

"(looking at the sword) It doesn't look like an ancient thing, how much does it cost?."

"It's not that the master is indeed an ancient thing, but the motive is that the master made the sword so expensive, the price is 10,000 gold coins master."

At that time, the price was very expensive.

"You know where you got that sword?."

"I bought it to someone, he didn't tell me his identity, I bought it for 9999 gold coins, I was interested in buying it because that person said that this sword has a very beautiful motif of the Kingdom of Nesia, the motive of a super power kingdom in his time."

Nesia Kingdom? I just heard, this merchant seems suspicious, well later I will investigate again, so it is not suspected that I should buy a dagger here. The officer muttered.

"(leading to the arrangement of the daggers) how much does this dagger cost (pointing a dagger)?."

"Aren't you buying this sword?."

"I can't afford it, my money isn't enough, next time I'll come back to buy it."

"Oh. alright then, oh yes the dagger cost only 100 gold coins master."

"I bought it."

(The merchant put the dagger in a container) "this is the master" (give the dagger).

"thank you" (receive it), "this",(give a full bag of 100 gold coins)

"Thank you sir" (the merchant received the bag of money), "until he met again."

"All right, I say hello."
