Chapter 265: Catatoskr (2) : The Ragged Flagon (2/2)
”Letclear…”
”Eat shi+t, asshole”
SLAP
” Is that clear?”
Sapphire's circuits seeh
I raised ain but she reacted splendidly this time
”Good, I have a question”
””
”There was that rule the guild had to not make kids less than 10 do stuff around the town… there is still that rule, right?”
Sapphire seemed to have frozen
”Oh… I see that was your private business Good good, very good” I put her down but kept clutching to her neck
Greed, which was under my sleeve, came out and tied the hands of Sapphire
”Screaht they were possible”
Sapphire only nodded
”Cool! Let's go”
I kept ed her with me
My direction was clear, the Ratway
If someone asked 'What is the worst place in all of Riften?', then there is only one answer and that is 'The Ratway'
One can say the Ratway is the city under the city Dark, dangerous, and no place for decent folk An underground tunnel system beneath the city of Riften It is the base of operations for the Thieves Guild and also serves as home for all sorts of weirdos, serial-killers, lowlifes and misfits
Riften normally has two levels, the upper city where the normal folk lives and the undercity down at the canals where poor folk and cutoffs live, the Ratway is the extension of that undercity where a network of sewer tunnels run but it is fairly populated for a good reason
I stepped in front of the main entrance of the Ratway and walked from there, normally I take another way in but I am not expected and I have Alina and Jull with me
As alked the dark smelly tunnels, I could hear, Alina co different She is a princess so it o and kept
These two are fairly strong now but I would be worried if I run into any one of the big fishes in the Ratway The underground Arena in Riften is actually full of top-notch killers and people I would have a hard ti on its own
Still, it was all the same as I remembered, even the traps and the lookouts were in their usual spots
It feels as if ti a few turns and knocking down a few skeevers, I arrived in front of a door that I sie circular chamber, a pool in the middle, pathway across the sides and a bunch of people at the other side of the room around what seemed to be a bar
This was Riften's on
I calmly walked in with Sapphire under my hile Alina and Jull followed, the seemed to be in total full awareness about the place As we approached the inn, so for trouble here, giant? Let the girl go”
The brute sounded intier but she triggered the rest of the inn's 'patrons'
”Girls, say hey to e” As I said so, the place quieted down ”Fun story! Do you knoe call hiuessed
”Cause I'round” Dirge said
”Well, it sounds cool but that's not true… I actually know the true story behind it” As I said so, Dirge seeured out on
But before he could do anything, I waved e's head, held it then crushed it to a wall
DIRGE
” Because that sound comes out whenever anyone bashes his head to a wall, hahaha!”
I walked past the passed out Dirge to the middle of the bar
”Well well… ain't this a nasty surprise?” a voice came froo of Sapphire
”What? No hugs a worth hugging you for”
”Bleh, I won't hug a nasty so to Oblivion for it… which actually happened and I would hug a Hagraven instead of going back there”
”Eew! Jon, that's nasty Fine, I'll hug you for free this time”
”Come here, Delvin”
It was my mentor and the man who set me on the path of nastiness, Delvin Mallory
