Seeking the treasurer's identity, Basim questioned Kong, who demanded the return of a ceramic saucer from his rival Luca. After using an explosive jar to clear a blocked passage and climbing a shelf to retrieve the item, I returned it to Kong for intel detailing the treasurer's embroidered robe.
So I still had to look for intel in the bazaar to explore the treasure's identity through the crowded market stalls. And I started looking around for any intel, and that's when I found Kong standing near his stall.
Basim asked Kong if he had any information about the treasurer who works for the Caliphate to trace the order's influence. But Kong said he does have something mentioning it hurts to give precious information for free, requiring a favor.
Yeah, you won't need a foe if you have a friend like him.
In the conversation, Kong said someone stole a precious ceramic saucer from him, whose name Luca and always been jealous of him. And I should be able to find the saucer in the crates near Luca's stall, so I went inside there.
Then I dragged and moved a shelf to get to a height where I found some explosive jar. I didn't know what to use them for in the immediate vicinity.
After getting down and exploring around the dusty corners of the storage area, I noticed there was a hole on the wall, but it was blocked. So I used one of those explosive jars to unblock the path.
Then I dragged that heavy shelf out of that wall and moved it to that place where I saw something was above near the ceiling beams. I used the height as an advantage to climb up into the hidden crawlspace.
After getting there through the gap, I found the ceramic saucer that Kong asked for resting safely on a desk. And then I jumped out of that place with a leap of faith into a wagon.
I brought the saucer to Kong and the way he was talking, Basim managed to understand it was not his that someone stole. Actually I stole it for him, and then he gave me intel about the treasurer wearing a beautiful embroidered robe.
Until next time, happy gaming.

Basim is supposed to be a legendary master assassin, but his friend made him spend his afternoon acting as a middle-man in a petty market dispute over a ceramic plate. And I agree about that phrase about friend and foe. I noticed Kong has been asking return for every information or help.
Kong has definitely mastered the art of "one more small favor", lol.
So, you literally blew up part of a wall just to help a merchant win a trade war against his rival. That's insane. You should keep distance from such friends.
I thought I was doing a favor, not participating in a trade conflict, lol. And I wish I can.
It was like, Kong looked Basim dead in the eye, told him a tragic story about a stolen heirloom, and completely tricked him into committing a theft for him.
Exactly.

It's funny that the treasurer is trying to run a secret underground shadow network but decided to wear a flashy embroidered robe to the local market.
He really looked like he wanted everyone to notice him. I'm wishing he'd turn out a masked man so I'd be able to assassinate him someday.
