Chapter 0072 Thieves Guild
Chapter 0072 Thieves Guild
The barbecue tastes average, and this kind of civilian tavern must not be able to come up with anything that could make Li Xun's eyes shine. After drinking and eating, Li Xun took advantage of the fat boss coming up to clean up the plate and laughed in a low voice: "You are a member of the Thieves Guild! Take me to find the leader here, I need to buy some information."
The fat boss's fat body trembled suddenly and quickly replied, "Please go to the back door for a while," then pulled a maid and whispered a few times, and brought the plate into the kitchen.
Li Xun turned around and left the tavern, looked around and saw that there was indeed an alley beside the tavern, and he walked in slowly with his hands behind his back. He turned several bends along the alley and went around the back door, and the fat boss was already waiting there.
"Come with me!"
The fat boss didn't dare to interrogate as usual, so he could only lead the mysterious man to turn left and right, walking around the streets and alleys, and even crossing through a small shop in the middle. The more he walked, the more deserted the houses around him became, the more dilapidated. From time to time, some strong men would jump out of the alleys to ask about the incisions, and then hide in the darkness of the street corner again. Li Xun followed behind, looking at the gangster's style with interest. His soul visually scanned his soul and knew that he was close to a certain station of the Thieves Guild. After all, the dozens of red dots behind the wooden houses on both sides were so eye-catching.
The fat boss stopped and a thin middle-aged man with a cold face turned out from the boarding house on the side of the alley ahead. He was not tall and had a linen shirt and was dressed neatly.
"Jack, what does it mean to bring people here at this time? Are you thinking of breaking the rules?"
"Boss, it's not that I don't follow the rules, it's that I have distinguished guests!"
"Disciple?" The thin middle-aged man looked up and down at the young noble boy. He was about to scold his lack of vision. He suddenly met the noble boy's eyes, and his heart suddenly became tight.
"I want to buy some information. Can you decide the information on the south side of the mountain?" Li Xun finally spoke.
"South of the mountain? Are you talking..." The thin middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, wanted to ask something, but finally gave up. "Jack, go back! I'll receive this distinguished guest."
The fat boss responded in a hurry and was about to turn around and leave when a purse flew towards him.
"This is your travel fee." Li Xun nodded at him and followed the middle-aged man into the wooden house.
The fat boss weighed it and was delighted. He had at least twenty gold coins. He was really a generous noble master. It was worth my worry and I was attracted here.
There is a utility room in the wooden house, with broken tables and chairs thrown everywhere, and various old furniture piled up in the corners of the house to exude a corruption smell. However, this is all a trick. In Li Xun's vision, the broken furniture in the corners of these houses is far less corrupt than it looks, and many of them contain dazzling red dots hidden inside.
"Please wait for a while, distinguished guests." The middle-aged man turned around and explained, walked to one side of the wall and picked up the stones on the ground and knocked them on the iron sheets inlaid on the wall three times: two short and one long.
After a moment, the stone slabs on the ground sounded gently, and a hole appeared in the middle of the wooden house, and layers of downward stone steps appeared.
"Please invite me to the guest." The thin middle-aged man walked ahead first and crawled into the hole first.
Li Xun sighed inwardly. The Thieves Guild really likes to get underground, so he could only bend down and then drill in. Fortunately, it was not deep, about 10 meters underground. What appeared in front of him was a corridor, with dim oil lamps on both sides of the corridor, which was well ventilated and did not have the unique stinking and sour smelly atmosphere underground.
At the end of the corridor is a small reception room. There is a table and a few chairs. There is nothing but that. There are wooden doors on all the walls, but I don’t know where to lead.
After asking Li Xun to sit down at the table and told him not to walk around, the thin middle-aged man crawled into the wooden door on one side and disappeared. Li Xun held his cheek and was silently stunned, regardless of the fact that someone was secretly peeping at him in the mezzanine of the corner. He forced himself in for no reason, of course, would he be suspicious of these people, but as long as he took out his real money, would he still have business not to do it? The only thing he needs to worry about now is whether he can get the information he wants. Anyway, he doesn't worry about someone being able to guess his own ideas. If it really doesn't work, he can only take the princess route.
After a cup of tea, the wooden door sounded lightly, and a small man masked in black scarf walked into the secret room.
"Your Mage, do you want to buy information? Let me introduce myself. I am Hamil, the president of the branch of the Port District of the Thieves Guild. I am honored to serve you."
Li Xun smiled, it's okay. If someone comes to the door and can't find out the details, it would be too disappointing. Perhaps his name is already on their desks!
"It seems that there is no one else here, right? I have something to say. I need information from the Undead Council, the more detailed the better, especially their activities during the Mojolheld, especially all the information they had before and after the disaster of the Undead."
"Uh..." The little man didn't expect the other party to be so direct. Many words were blocked back. He stared at Li Xun for a moment before he slowly said: "We do have the information you want, but whether you can betray it depends on your financial resources. The information within the Undead League Council was 300,000 gold coins. As for the Undead Natural Disaster, our intelligence is not complete. After all, the time was rushed, and the other party caught all the information in one go. There was very little information that could be leaked. Only a rough idea was known. Moreover, the level of confidentiality of these information was very high. If you want it, we can only apply to the headquarters, but there is no guarantee that it will be approved."
Li Xun took out a small bag from the dimensional bag without thinking and threw it on the table. It made a muffled sound of touching. The table was almost smashed, making a squeaking sound similar to protest. The little man narrowed his eyes, stepped forward and opened the bag, and leaked a metal block with silver-blue luster inside. From this color and weight, could it be... The little man's breathing began to be a little rapid, and he looked up and glanced at the young noble mage.
"Your Excellency is such a big deal. Here you can have at least 500 grams of pure gold, with a market value of at least 500,000. If you are auctioned, it is possible to have 700,000."
"Just use it as a fee! The excess is considered a deposit for subsequent information. As long as your information is valuable, money is not a problem."
"Okay. Since the distinguished guest is so determined, I will give you a happy word. Regarding the news about the natural disaster of the undead, our branch in Mojolch Germany sent back a routine information exchange three days before the fall, and a very vague information was transmitted half an hour before the fall. From these two information, most of the activities of the undead mages should be able to meet your needs. If you really want to know the every move of the Undead Council, you can only ask those skeletons."
"When will the basic information of the Undead Council be obtained?"
"Tonight...this information will be delivered to your room tonight, Lord Mage."
"I am Li Xun, a priest of the contract wizard of the Principality, and I will set off to return to Pierbont tomorrow. I hope I can get good news from you there."
"Everything is as you wish! Maybe when you arrive at Pierbont, new information is already waiting for you."
"I hope so." Li Xun glanced at Hamil deeply, stood up and said, "Send me out."
When the thin middle-aged man sent the mage away and returned to the secret room, the small Hamil still stood there without moving, waiting quietly, and said to him: "What do you think of this mage?"
"It's very scary!" The thin middle-aged man thought for a moment and replied with little certainty: "His eyes are like daggers, which hurts life. I don't dare to look at him. He seems to be very confident in doing things, but he is not familiar with it. We obviously have a contact station outside, but he comes to the door in the clumsy way."
"He was not clumsy, but direct. According to the "eyes" of the dock, their group had just arrived before noon and came over in the afternoon. Time was so tight. The biggest problem now is what he wanted to do with the information of the Undead Council? The information in the Principal Mage Corps is not less than that in ours? He is a mage, but he does not follow the mage's path and follows our path. It is really strange."
"Boss, you're overthinking! Someone came to the door to deliver money. Isn't this a good thing? No matter what he wants to do, I've been disliked by those bones and arrogance. I took up a kingdom in one go, but our brothers didn't come out. Why not sell the information of those bastards and cause some trouble for them behind their backs to relieve themselves." The thin middle-aged man waved his hand angrily and gestured with foam.
"What do you know?" Hamil pinched his chin and scolded: "The situation is too subtle now. Every major force is watching from the side and no one dares to take action first. At this time, be careful to compensate yourself. The boss's intention is to see the situation of the bones rising, and we may also deal with them in the future."
"Ah..." When I heard that I was going to talk about business with the undead and raise feelings, the thin middle-aged man was confused.
At night, the hotel room.
Li Xun sat alone at the wooden table in the room and looked at the books silently. A wooden stick blessed by the immortal flames stood on the table, emitting bright and soft white light, illuminating the house like daylight, which was hundreds of times stronger than the candles provided by the hotel.
A black shadow lies outside the window and scans the room. He is sure that there is only the mage. Then he quietly opened the pane and slid in. With the support of a soft force, the window switch did not make any sound, nor did he bring in a breeze, nor did he touch the magic warning under the window sill. This shows the old man who came. Out of professional habits, the visitor who slid into the room was planning to sneak into the chair opposite the mage and give the other party a "surprise". A calm voice was already heard in the room.
"Have the stuff been brought?"
The visitor then realized that at some point the mage with his back facing the window had turned around, his black pupils were staring at him tightly, and his originally hazy and faint figure had forcibly manifested the entity without being controlled.
The "invisibility technique" was broken!
Although I had known from my companions that the mage had sharp eyes, I could only stand in front of these black pupils to feel the speaker’s feelings at that time. It was a burning feeling that you could not hide no matter how you conceal it, as if the other person was not looking at you, but staring at your soul directly.
The visitor took off the black scarf in resentment and cursed unconvincedly: "I knew there was no good thing. I said that they were not willing to come for such a simple task. It turned out that they were going to deal with the mage." He threw bags of thick kraft paper on the mage's table.
"The things are all here. The head said that the follow-up information you want will be transferred to you through Pierbont's brothers, so that you can rest assured."
She turned out to be a young girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with beautiful long eyelashes and melon-shaped face. Her lips were thin and black lipstick was applied on it. She was wearing a tight black linen and a gray one-piece cloak behind her back. Perhaps in order to prevent the wind, there were strips of cloth around the mouth of the clothes, and her calfskin soft boots under her feet, and she exuded a sense of heroism.
Feeling the thick parchment paper, Li Xun looked at this unique alternative girl with interest and teased: "Okay, I got the thing, your task has been completed. Unfortunately, I will never see such a beautiful lady again."
The alternative girl smiled in a hint: "That's not necessarily true! My name is Elena, remember it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the girl's jade hand flicked back and raised the gap about a foot wide in the window sash. When she closed again, there was no trace of the girl in the room.
Li Xun nodded silently, Well, there is indeed a way of doing it. A young girl who has not yet made his debut has such flexible skills and invisible means. It is conceivable how far those top thieves and assassins will reach. You cannot underestimate the world!
