Chapter 230 Drawings(1/3)
The warship left the port, the knights returned to the castle, and this beautiful coastal city quickly returned to calm.
The fighting destroyed a large number of houses and caused many casualties.
After Mr. Mirror and the others retreated, the lord, Count Osaka, seemed to wake up from his anger and realized what a stupid thing he had done.
Because of a good-for-nothing son who caused trouble everywhere, he offended an old friend, got into trouble with a superpower with a mysterious origin, and almost brought disaster to the Ackerman family and the city.
The key is, no matter what the background of the woman is, he will not take any notice of the matter of abducting women!
After calming down, Count Osaka did not pursue him, nor did he order a search for any remaining party members in the city, as if nothing had happened.
Therefore, when Su Lun was walking on the street, there were no city guards looking for trouble.
On the other hand,
Viscount Primo was killed, and this breaking news spread quickly throughout the entire port of Caturante.
In taverns, squares, and streets, residents spread the story of the battle in Commercial Street by word of mouth.
No one was angry because the order in the city was destroyed, and no one was sad because the lord's son was killed.
On the contrary, there was great joy.
The common people all secretly praise the heroes who eliminate harm for the people...
After the disaster was over, the businessmen, tourists, and residents finally dared to let their beautiful wives and daughters walk on the streets.
No one dares to say why they are happy, but everyone is celebrating
The auction was still early, so Su Lun went to the Adventurer's Guild to check the information on the main materials he needed to advance.
But I didn't get the desired result.
Spiritual monsters are very rare. Although the materials are expensive, few adventurers will pay attention to those monsters. For ordinary adventurers, spiritual monsters are very deadly and can kill people silently.
Usually if you encounter one, you will usually choose to avoid it. What's more, it is a third-level monster. If you really encounter it, a fourth-level professional may not be able to come back alive.
Without getting any information, Su Lun placed a reward.
Soon a professional intelligence businessman contacted him.
I got a few pieces of information that I don’t know if they are expired or not.
Su Lun chose two that were somewhat reliable and wrote them down.
One is that a year ago, someone discovered a sea monster with sucking tentacles near the "Roman Strait" in the north that could emit spiritual power to confuse the crew. It was suspected to be the "Nightmare Octopus".
Another piece of information is that somewhere in the "Silent Forest", an adventurer has heard that there is a spider that can make people die in nightmares, which is suspected to be a [Nightmare Spider].
The information is a bit vague, but it's good to have news.
Anyway, it will take some time to advance to the third level.
And to create the third-level [Spiritual Tentacle] reproductive equipment, what he needs is the brain tissue of Warcraft taken from a living body, so he must go there in person.
So he wrote down the two coordinates and also visited the legendary Arctic Icefield.
In case you can't find it, there is a "Blizzard City" on the ice field. There are adventurers living in the ice field there, and they may have more detailed information.
The slave auction in the evening is on Oak Street in Nancheng, near the Nancheng Fish Market near the seaside, and it happens to be on the "boot"-shaped toe of Gadurante.
Su Lun came out of the Adventurer's Guild, asked about the route in the city, and took the water steam train along the coastline through most of the city.
It is said that when the train track was built, the track was still above the sea.
But in recent years, sea levels have risen, and train tracks have gradually become immersed in sea water.
However, it does not affect the normal operation of the train, and it has become a landmark steam train running on the sea in Kadurante.
It was already night, and the stars were shining brightly all over the sky.
The boundless starry sky is reflected in the sea, and the train seems to be traveling in the Milky Way.
The water steam train runs along the seaside, and the front of the train pushes away the sea surface, stirring up the Milky Way and creating ripples, like a sea-blue dress studded with brilliant diamonds.
Su Lun leaned against the window, looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, slightly fascinated.
The stars are in the sky, reflected in the sea, and come into view
At this moment, it seemed as if there was a brilliant galaxy hidden in his eyes.
Not long after, the train arrived at the station and came to Oak Street.
Su Lun looked at the red and green signs that were dazzling at night, and then realized that the Tavern Street was also here.
The girls in cool clothes warmly greeted the passers-by.
"Handsome guy, do you want to drink? Come to our Giant Tavern"
“Come to our Windmill Tavern and have the best rum from the capital city”
""
The auction house was not far away, and it was still a long time before the opening. Su Lun was not in a hurry to enter. Thinking about it, he stepped into a tavern with a signboard of "Dolphin Tavern".
Among the gangsters from the Sea Serpent Gang, he had some impressions of the name of the tavern.
When he walked into the tavern, the scene in front of him overlapped with those fragmented memories.
This seems to be an "intelligence black market" in Kadurante.
There are two signs at the bar, one with prices for drinks.
"Sailor beer £100/shot"
"King's Guillotine£188/cup"
"Golden Rum£3000/bottle"
「」
Su Lun snapped his fingers at the bartender and said, "Let's have a glass of 'King's Guillotine'."
There is also a sign with a pirate wanted poster with a picture on it.
There is a large and densely packed area, and the highest one is naturally Oleg J. Popov, the "King of the North Sea", with a reward of 8.477 billion.
But this is just a number, and no bounty hunter will take advantage of that top powerhouse.
Then marked in red are some pirates that frequently appear in nearby waters.
"'One-Eyed Dragon' Saiyam Ula, leader of the 'One-Eyed Pirate Group', a fifth-level professional, with a bounty of 136 million liso; the crime is as follows: plundering the 'Thorn Bird Chamber of Commerce' transport team and massacring more than two hundred people."
"'Drunkard' Zelko Jones, leader of the 'Black Shark Pirates', level four, with a bounty of 74 million liso. The charges are as follows"
"'Anchorman' Bryce Fleming, first mate of the 'Lazy Cat Pirates', fourth level, bounty of 30 million liso"
「」
Su Lun looked at the following and roughly saw some of the reward patterns.
Those with bounties on their heads are probably professionals of level three or above, and level four is worth tens of millions.
The threshold for a bounty of over 100 million is probably for fifth-level great pirates.
Level six is around one billion.
"Frost Troll" Gar Popov and "Lieutenant General Sunfire" Gladys Olmedo, whom we have met before, are also on the list.
After getting the wine, Su Lun sat at the bar alone, listening to the boasts and chatter of the drinkers in the tavern.
The thing I heard the most about was naturally the "assassination of Viscount Primo" during the day.
He, the person involved, naturally knew what was going on, and he laughed from time to time while listening to those demonized storylines.
There are many sailors and fishmongers in this tavern. They hang out at sea all year round. They all have a smell of sea that cannot be concealed by alcohol.
Su Lun did not underestimate these people.
After observing for a while, he also found that some of these guys showed warning looks from time to time. These guys were not ordinary people.
Ordinary people don't have that kind of ruthlessness.
Probably a pirate informant.
On the surface, pirates are not welcome in Kadurant Port, but in the face of huge profits, there will always be speculators who will engage in shady business.
Pirates need intelligence to rob, and the goods they robbed need to be sold as stolen goods. The meat stamps are tied up, and the ransom for the transaction also needs a middleman.
Therefore, there are many pirate informants, spies, and some black marketeers doing "gray business" lurking in seaport cities like Caturante Port.
Su Lun listened for a while and listened to a bunch of free information.
But not much is useful.
After thinking about it, he took out three silver coins and stood them beside the wine glass.
This is the "code word" for communicating with news merchants, indicating that you are a knowledgeable person.
Not long after, a thin man wearing a black felt hat walked over, stretched out his hand and quietly put the three silver coins into his sleeve.
He ordered a glass of wine for himself and sat next to Su Lun: "Hey, buddy, what information do you want to inquire about?"
Su Lun glanced at this guy and said calmly: "Who was responsible for the assassination of Viscount Primo during the day?"
To be continued...
