Chapter 47 White gloves for dirty work

10 am.

Near Chengnan Market, No. 45, Tianshui Lane.

At the main entrance of the small wooden building, an old woman with silver hair came out.

She wore a windproof wide-brimmed curtain hat on her head, carried a straw basket filled with dirty clothes in her left hand, and a wooden cane in her right hand. She was wearing a half-worn linen skirt and was limping.

He walked towards the entrance of the alley.

A lame old woman dressed like this is often seen on the road. She is inconspicuous at all, so naturally no one pays attention to her.

The old woman seemed to be in a hurry. Although her legs and feet were not working well, her speed was not slow and she reached the entrance of the alley in a short while.

After exiting the alley, the old woman quickly turned her head and looked behind her, then turned right onto Riverside Avenue.

Next to the avenue is the Huangshui River, and the river is full of various boats.

There are also people coming and going on the avenue, small vendors hawking goods, ox carts transporting goods, sailors resting ashore, prostitutes soliciting customers, etc., etc., making the riverside avenue almost packed.

"Very good, then what is your single task?"

With another wave of the staff, more than a dozen pebbles floated up, one after another, as if they were alive, and entered the man's mouth and into his belly, making the man's belly bulge.

He was panting, but his eyes showed a look of death, his mouth was pursed tightly, and he stared in the direction of the river beach beside him.

"Everything I said is true!"

The water in this river beach is very shallow, and not far from it is the laundry port. A dozen women gathered by the river, complaining about life, and working hard to wash clothes.

His consciousness gradually became clearer and he saw his situation clearly.

It wasn't that he didn't want to scream, it was because his neck was strangled by an invisible force, preventing him from breathing out.

It was indeed that half-grown boy.

The man's second front tooth was broken, but only half of it was broken. The other half was still on the gum. The extreme soreness and numbness gave the man a rich expression on his face.

"Where are you from?"

"Since we are brothers who worked together, you are just watching when your brother is in trouble? Don't you do something to help him out?"

The voice was not loud, and was almost covered by the voices at the port, but the man was extremely alert. When his face showed shock, a faint light flashed on his body surface, and he rushed forward quickly.

He was still lying in the withered grass, and the wounds on his body were tightly tied with belts. Although the stretch was uncomfortable, the bleeding had stopped.

The half-grown boy stood 3 meters away from him, holding a staff that was worth a lot in his hand. A pair of dark blue eyes were staring at him, his eyes were indifferent, without any emotion.

Severe pain came from the wound again. Under this strong stimulation, the originally vague consciousness became much clearer.

"Tiger Claw Tatali."

The old woman squatted in the grass and quickly took off her hat and sarong, revealing a strong man's body.

"This is a rule on the road. You must not confront the guards head-on in broad daylight. However, after Langtou is imprisoned, I will find a way to get him."

Halfway through the process, a few "hissing" sounds suddenly appeared in the air.

Although he struggled hard, his hands and feet were completely out of control. He could only roll around in the mud like a fish on dry land, and soon he was covered in mud.

Old Murphy finally couldn't stand it any longer: "Young man, I'm just a messenger, I don't know much. Besides, I said, I can no longer do the work of a middleman."

"For money, I will serve whoever gives me money."

After that, he ran all the way to the south market of the city without stopping for a moment.

The blood flowed from the wound, quickly taking away the man's strength, and the excruciating pain also greatly weakened the man's will.

The man groaned and fell to the ground.

This corner is covered with withered reed poles, which are so densely packed that they are as tall as a person. As long as one digs in or squats down, even if one pays special attention, it is difficult to see what is going on inside.

Old Murphy was startled, and his sparse beard covered with bread crumbs trembled slightly.

He was answered with another 2 gold crowns.

Because he couldn't breathe, the man's face turned red and purple. It wasn't until he was about to faint that the invisible force subsided.

He felt his mouth being opened, and warm water was poured into his throat. It tasted sweet, salty, and a little greasy, and seemed to be some kind of healing potion.

'Well!'

Rosen looked back at the adventure log for a while, and soon discovered the existence of old Murphy at the corresponding location. He was an old man in his 50s, half dead.

He is waiting!

When the sneak attacker appears, he still retains his last bit of physical strength, which can support him in a desperate counterattack.

This is of course Rosen.

At 12 noon, he came to the tableware store and saw old Murphy sitting by the roots of a tree, eating dry bread.

Since the opponent is a white glove, even if he dies, it will only be counted as a gang vendetta, and Silver Moon Castle officials will not meddle in their own business.

Three seconds later, the stone fell down, and the stone's scream hit one of the man's front teeth accurately.

Judging from the old woman's appearance, she seemed to be preparing to do laundry.

Rosen walked over, waved his staff, and five iron beads came out of the man's wound. They flew around in the river nearby for a few times. After washing away the blood, they flew back into Rosen's pocket.

Rosen believed 80% of it, and now that he had further clues, the half-disabled man in front of him was useless.

"Hearth Ash Town, the southern Hearth Ash Town, is only half a day's journey from Silver Moon Castle."

After speaking, without waiting for the other party to respond, he immediately asked: "Name."

A faint smile appeared on Rosen's face, and he whispered: "Who gave you the list of Tiger Claw Tatali? Just tell me and I will leave immediately."

Old Murphy still didn't speak, but his withered face trembled and he stopped talking.

But he miscalculated again.

The man screamed in pain, but he only screamed half a cry before losing his voice.

"You lied!"

Not only did his walking speed increase a lot, but his figure was also looming, like bubbles in the water, seemingly disappearing at any time.

"This job was assigned to me by old Murphy. Old Murphy was a shoe shiner at the Chengnan Market. He stayed under the big tree next to La Spring Cutlery Shop, shining people's shoes every day, and knew many bright people.

Big shot!”

"I don't know. No, no, no, don't fight. I really don't know because the other party didn't show up at all."

But surprisingly, she did not reach the pier in the end. Instead, she walked straight along the river beach and stopped only when she reached a secluded corner at the southernmost end.

By that time, there were no clues left, and nothing could be found about him.

The corners of the man's mouth trembled slightly, and a wry smile appeared on his mud-covered face.

‘Huh~~~’

Then, the man's body floated up, entered the water, and floated forward for more than 40 meters in the water. After reaching the deep water area, he sank.

Two more gold crowns flew into his pocket.

After he jumped out of the window and left, he quietly flew up to the roof and waited patiently for more than an hour before finally catching the cunning mouse.

Old Murphy lowered his head and continued to eat dry bread, silent.

It's winter now, and the river water is extremely cold. By the time the other party's body rots and floats to the surface, it should be the beginning of next spring.

"Who gave you the money for your latest order?"

As soon as he thought about it, a sharp stone flew up from the ground and floated less than 10 centimeters in front of the opponent's mouth.

Another 2 gold crowns flew in.

There was a hint of panic in his brown-black eyes.

After weighing it for a moment, Rosen's thoughts condensed, and an iron bead flew out with a roar, and "pop" got into the man's eye socket.

The man's body was shaken and he died.

And if he doesn't die, he may have to face revenge from the other party.

Because the object causing the wind howl flies extremely fast and arrives almost at the same time as the wind noise, there is no time for effective response.

No response.

He had been in the underground underworld of Silver Moon Castle for so many years and was considered a number one figure, but he never expected to be defeated by a young boy.

"For what?"

"Next, I ask and you answer. If you hesitate for more than three seconds, I will knock one of your teeth out."

Gradually, he felt cold all over, and the world in front of him began to darken and turn black, but the severe pain of the wound gradually faded away and seemed to disappear.

Almost at the same time, the man's legs, knees, and shoulder sockets erupted with blood. The half-lit glow on his body was interrupted by the severe pain in his body, and quickly dimmed.

But it's still too late.

He let out a long breath, uncontrollable fear appearing on his face.
