Chapter 197
For the civilians living in the south of Eboden City, the gully is a place to avoid as much as possible—rascals, bandits, robbers, gangsters, gangsters...this The street has never been truly peaceful.
Eboden is a seaport city. Naturally there will be a large number of merchants influx here. Naturally there will be many guys who want to avoid high taxes. Naturally some people want to get rid of some ugly things-Jane In short, it is a "paradise" for smugglers, sellers, and thieves.
South of the city is the slum area of Eboden. The power of the Eboden Free Assembly here is only sufficient to maintain the superficial order. The real control of the streets and lanes are the gangs that can only appear at night.
Naturally, Yingou Alley, a place full of money, has become the "fat" in their eyes. All kinds of open strife and veiled struggles have occurred in this neighborhood, and any one of them has taken over. This site can become the largest gang in the south of the city just by relying on the rake from various underground transactions.
Now, the entire gully lane has become the sphere of influence of the gang of crutches.
The index finger and thumb of the right hand pinched the small pipe, and tremblingly stretched out to the side of the candle. The swaying firelight flickered up and down, slowly igniting the tobacco on the edge, and the dark red fluorescence flickered in the dark environment, revealing a gloomy and somewhat thin face.
Long deep breaths, the smoke of ash-gray filled his surroundings, and Van Sterno’s face showed a slightly enjoyable gesture-this kind of tobacco can be regarded as High in the gutters. Level goods, good things that you can't buy even if you have money on the market.
A slight tapping sound made Van Sterno frowned, who had just relaxed. A black feathered bird suddenly appeared outside the empty window, looking towards him intently.
Crow? But those red eyes looked rather rare.
When he was about to take a closer look at the "strange bird", the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and the henchman with a face full of flesh came in with a flattering smile and shrank his head-if Loren was here. If you do, you can find that this guy is the same person as the drunkard in the hotel last time.
"Boss Van Sterno, the ugly wizard is here."
"Let me wait for three days, and finally I am willing to come..." Fan Si of aquiline nose Tenuo's eyes widened: "How many people?"
"Uh...only saw himself!" Henchman lowered his head and replied.
"Only himself?" Van Sterno gave an incredibly smile: "A person would dare to come to the gutter... This wizard is really confident!"
"But that's okay, I'm still worried that he wouldn't dare to come...invite this adult, I have something to discuss with him." Van Sterno said, smoking a pipe and leaning against the bench. On his back: "Tell the brethren, don't make him too embarrassing."
"Actually, actually..." A few drops of cold sweat suddenly dripped on henchman's forehead, and he hesitated opened the mouth and said: "The wizard has come in, just outside the door."
"Outside the door, outside the door?"
"No...just outside the door of your room! "
"What?!"
Vin Sterno suddenly violent: "Just as he broke into the crutches gang's chassis by himself, are you blind or a rice bucket?!"
"No one saw it at all, and no one knew when he broke in!" Henchman quickly defended: "When we notice, this guy has already..."
"It is indeed rude to break into someone's home; but can you calm down your people first, Lord Van Sterno?"
A strange voice came from outside, grumpy Van Sterno pushed open the henchman who was blocking the door, and stood in the corridor on the second floor looking towards the hall below-the wizard in black robes, surrounded by a group of crutches, dozens of long sword short Blade points to the silhouette that is not burly.
Obviously the crutches gang is the crowded party, but the black hair wizard saw a little nervousness on his face, but the thugs around were sweating coldly, and even one dared to rush up. None of the guys.
The sight in front of him made Van Sterno frown, and he couldn't wait to order directly to let the puppies kill this wizard who is not afraid of him!
"What are you doing, this His Excellency Ain Rand is a member of the nine-pointed star wizard tower and our distinguished guests! A bunch of idiots, get me back!"
The gangsters did not protest, but left the hall in relief. It wasn't until everyone left Van Sterno that they understood why-there was a corpse beside the black hair wizard, which was nailed to the floor by his own dagger.
& One of the two will die."Loren shook his head regretfully and took off his hood: "In that case, I have to satisfy his wish."
A killing intent flashed across Van Sterno's gloomy face.
"It's not very convenient in the living room. Please come in and talk." Squinting his eyes, Van Sterno said respectfully and politely: "It's just a matter of course, you don't need to take seriously."
"Thank you so much."
Nodded, Loren walked up the stairs calmly, as if he really followed Van Sternow as a guest, and walked in He created his exclusive "lounge".
As soon as I entered the door, the strong smell of tobacco assaults the senses, black hair wizard frowned, and glanced at a side window inadvertently. The "black crow" outside the window seemed to have not seen him come in.
"This is the High Level product I just bought. Would you like to have some?" Van Sterno asked politely and very politely.
"No, I don't have a cold on tobacco or anything." When each minding their own business sat down, Loren pushed away the other's kindness.
"That's really a shame. If you don't smoke a pipe, you will lose a lot of fun in your life."
"In that case, let me say something that arouses my interest. "
Looking at the other party preparing to circle with himself, the black hair wizard eyebrows raised blunt said: "Do you know me?"
"Of course-in Eboden, especially It’s the southern part of the city. I don’t know much about it.” Van Sterno’s gloomy face showed a little smile: “His Excellency Ain Rand, I know you just recently received the recognition of the nine-pointed star wizard tower. , I know you are from Lothair, and I also know that you are still looking for someone.
This person’s name is Isaac Grantham, am I right?"
Everything is right... Loren face doesn't change the nodded: "You invited me, shouldn’t you just tell me how much you know me?"
"Of course not, I invite The purpose of your coming is to make a deal with you."
"Transaction?" Loren smiled: "Could you explain it to me?"
"Just a few days Before, you injured more than a dozen of my staff, and also hindered the business of the Crutches, so that the hotel does not have to pay the protection fee-this is a great loss to the reputation of the Crutches. If it is changed to another situation, I will be early Just think of a way to kill you, or kick you out of Eboden!"
The cold voice of Van Sterno suddenly smiled and waved indifferently: "But this time, I plan to forget the blame. If you are willing to make a deal with me..."
"I don't know." Loren ignorant shrugged: "It's just a small wizard below, what can I do for you?"
p>
"It's very simple, make up for my loss."
Vinsterno said in a very calm tone: "Because of you, let the crutches help change in that street. He's not in awe, so much so that a group of bastards called the "Tongban Tuan" are ready to challenge my position and want to snatch the gully alleys from me-as far as I know, he has been planning for a long time."
"Then you can just kill him, or his gang, I still don't see what it has to do with me."
"I can't do this, otherwise it will leave the rest The gang besieged me together." Van Sterno smiled weirdly: "But you can."
"I got a very useful news, the boss of the'Copper Plate Group' just wrapped up recently. In a tavern, only he and a few close friends henchman spend time and enjoyment in it-with your ability, you can definitely kill all of them quietly!
As long as you help When I finish this, I will tell you everything I know about Isaac Grantham! "
