It was only possible that the collectibles were sunken along with those ships and recoveredter by Haron. That was why they were ced in the Korlyn City Museum. Wilbur suspected that the seventh cauldron was ced in the Korlyn City Museum the same way.
If that was the case, the ancient sea route was the key lead. If the seventh cauldron was recovered, it proved that the sixth, eighth, and ninth cauldron could be somewhere along that route.
Dasha people were into pairing collectibles, so one of the three cauldrons was probably in Korlyn City. It might be in the sea along with the other sunken goods or had fallen into the hands of Kearson or Haron.
Since Kearson could not find any cauldrons at the moment, Wilbur felt like he could start by investigating Haron. Perhaps Haron knew about the Nine Dragon Cauldrons. At the very least, he knew about the trade route. He believed that he could find a cauldron if Haron trusted him enough.
The antique market in Korlyn City was massive. Rostead was a small nation that was known for trading collectibles because of Terya.
A lot of people gained profit from selling collectibles, and they sold them at a much cheaper price. For collectibles that were worth a million dors, Rostead usually sold them for eight hundred thousand dors. That was why a lot of tourists were attracted by the deal.
Wilbur walked amongst the crowd and looked at the collectible stalls on the side. Soon, he arrived at a collectible shop called Rondar. He saw Haron walking out of that shop.
A bald-headed guy appeared at the door. He smiled at Haron and said, "This batch of goods is nice. If it''s possible, bring more next time."
"These are his goods, so I don''t dare to take too much."
"Do you mean Mister Kearson? If you''re afraid of him, you''ll only be his minion for the rest of your life. Do you want to live the rest of your life that way?"
The shop owner smirked mockingly. There was a cold glint in Haron''s eyes before he left. The shop owner saw Wilbur and smiled, asking, "Hey, buddy. Do you want toe in and have a look? I have great pottery and paintings. Are you from Dasha?"
"That''s right. I''m Wilbur Penn and Ie from Dasha. Are you the shop owner?"
"Yes, I''m the owner. My name''s Molton. I have some collectibles from Dasha if you''re interested. Feel free to look around."
Wilbur said, "Alright, thanks. Oh yeah, who''s that person who left? Why does he look so angry?"
Molton smiled and thought Wilbur was only a frightened tourist. He replied in aforting tone, "Oh, don''t be scared, Mister Penn. He''s one of my suppliers, and he''s also a sailor. He goes by the name Haron."
"Haron?"
"Yes. He''s in charge of escorting cargo ships from Terya to Rostead to trade collectibles. The cargo ships were not his, so he only bought a small part of the collectibles when they arrived in Terya. He put them away at my shop after returning and let me sell the collectibles for him."
"I see." Wilbur nodded.
Molton was friendly enough and led Wilbur to a disy area on the side. He told Wilbur that those were the collectibles from Haron. Wilbur picked up two collectibles after gaining permission from Molton. He sniffed them, and they did not smell of the sea.
