Chapter 202 (1/2)
After only two days, the gutter Lane tavern was restored to its original state, and there was not even a drop of blood left on the ground.
Drunken and riotous drunkards, robbers and thieves, beggars crouching in the gutter at the corner of the wall, passers-by with a cloak covering their face, heavily made-up and flirting tavern girls... Everything seems to have changed. The crutches Gang is still the same Gang here, controlling the underground order and smuggling trade in the south of eboden.
As for the dead gangsters, they have long been forgotten - this is a gutter lane. It's the most abnormal thing not to have an accident every day. It's not worth mentioning that anyone disappears here.
Of course, not everyone.
Van steeno's body was hung on the signboard of the tavern. The ferocious death reminded all passing gangsters and local ruffians again and again that the gutter lane was not the same as before.
After the incorporation of the copper plate group, the crutches Gang became the largest gangster in the south of the city. No one could shake their power anymore. The dog legs of the crutches Gang could be seen almost everywhere in the polluted alley. Even these gangsters appeared in every corner of the south of the city.
In the civilian area in the south of the city without patrol guards, gangs and all underground forces are the only order here.
Through the slightly crowded street, before approaching the tavern, Loren specially put on a hood - no matter where, his black hair is too piercing. It's never too careful.
After repeatedly confirming that no one was following behind, the black haired wizard left the alley and went to the outside of the tavern. A drunken man saw him approaching. Before he could pull out his knife, his drunken face showed an expression of amazement, mixed with some fear.
”You, you are that...”
”It's great that you still know me.” a friendly smile appeared on Lauren's face:
”Tell Luca I want to see him.”
In the quiet tavern box, the Scarface man with the same name as an elf ”Luca” sat trembling in the corner of the room. He was as clever as a pug. He was sweating so hard that he didn't even dare to lift his head. He didn't even have the courage to look directly at his black pupils.
Even now, the face of van steno's death is still fresh in his memory - the guy who can kill that man is definitely not easily provoked by himself.
The black haired wizard sitting in the armchair played with a silver coin in his hand. It was not only full of color, but also the pattern on it was very clear. It was definitely newly cast.
On the tea table in front of him, there was a box full of the same ”goods”, at least nearly 1000 pieces, which was a very large sum of money.
Even in places like eboden, twenty silver coins can cover the best room in a hotel, and six silver coins can buy an unparalleled Knight's long sword and a thousand silver coins... You can get a merchant ship to sea.
Needless to say, these must be the ”results” recently searched by the crutches gang - certainly not all. Those gangsters won't turn in everything, but they are also the vast majority.
In order to please himself, the Scarface man named ”Luca” has indeed spared no effort. Loren is not keen on money, but he is not a self righteous person. Of course, there is no reason not to take it.
But that's not why the dark haired wizard came to this guy
”I've given you two days. What's the result?” Lauren said calmly. He couldn't hear his emotion, but it also made the Scarface man tremble: ”don't tell me that there's nothing. You shouldn't forget the end of van steno?”
”When, of course, never forget!”
The Scarface man was busy showing his loyalty and curled up in the corner without raising his head: ”I've asked the fools of the crutch Gang to look for it, but I didn't find the man with strange gloves you said.” at this point, he kept sweating on his trembling forehead, and the floor in front of him was wet.
”But?” Loren deliberately dragged a long tone.
”Indeed, some guys with strange whereabouts once appeared near the south of the city, but then disappeared.” the Scarface man hurriedly continued: ”but basically it's all kinds of rumors. Some people say they saw them put down more than a dozen patrol guards alone, and their skills are so fast that people can't see clearly!”
Almost invisible? The black haired wizard couldn't help narrowing his eyes... This way of description is really ambiguous. Because of mentor Dalton kand, the high-level magic spell ”beyond perception” has almost become a symbol of the night watchman. With this spell, even ordinary wizards can easily put down more than a dozen thugs.
But this alone is far fetched. Many people Loren knows can do it - such as Leia, the fairy, the war dancer in the wind forest and the captain of the knight guard in Shenlin castle.
