Before you know it, it seems like the last time you were called that was a long, long time ago. Ever since leaving Kahlier, Kiyoshi has been temporarily mixed with the rest of the group, and the most contact is with the Assassin Alliance.
Almost everyone in the League of Assassins from the bottom to the top has many murders in their hands, although most of them are some of the most vicious people and their dogs, but of course this cannot be a real keyboard, only by hiding yourself can you really get some protection.
As a result, it was a common rule of the Assassin League to use some code names to refer to others, and even many people in the organization never knew the real names of any other people, and their own real names were not known to others.
The higher you go, the more mysterious it becomes, and in addition to the fact that those people pay attention to secrecy, a large part of the reason is that they rarely come forward...... As for the elders, few people have seen them. It's a pity that Qing Xi is among the people who have seen the elders. He needed some help, so he used a little trick to contact the Assassins League directly.
So the name Qingci was temporarily hidden in the snow, although the characteristics of the Oriental people are too obvious, it is still easy to be recognized, but at least, it will not spread this name to everyone's ears.
Qing was referred to as the Sword by his fellow Assassins of the Assassin League.
A very uncharacteristic code name, and even many repetitions, the League of Assassins has never imposed any rules on code names, almost what they want to call them, and I am afraid that an ordinary code name like Sword will grab a lot in the Alliance. But that's good, that's good, no one knows who this sword belongs to.
It's been a while since I've seen Kaliel, my employer, who has been doing so lately...... It's like every other time.
A few days after Karil's campaign in Da'oyala was over, the relevant detailed information was reported to Qing Xi, although he now only borrowed a small team from the Assassin League, but the intelligence is an exception, any information that Qing Xi wants to get, the Assassin League can provide him with in time. This is the necessary support for the sword to exert his power.
So not only that, but Qing Xi had so much information in his hands that he didn't even have time to know about Karil right away, but devoted himself to another, more important matter.
He wanted to meet someone, a partner with whom he had made a deal, a homeless girl no more than fifteen years old - but that was only on the surface.
The city where the Qing Dynasty is now located has penetrated from the east into the hinterland of Sunderland's current territory, where it once belonged to another small country. It was quickly annexed by Sunderland at the start of the war, and is now a small town halfway through Sunderland.
To the west of the city is a large area of the old town, where old houses have been left from the past. The old town was in its primitive, but the buildings in the old town were dilapidated, but they were all beautifully designed, with elaborate flower beds at the edges of the streets, and even hexagonal street lamps forged in brass at the intersections, which were inlaid with a small hedron as a light source - of course, these were the things of the past, and now these are dilapidated and have lost their former charm.
It's just that it's just shabby, it doesn't mean that no one uses the old town, on the contrary, there are a lot of pretty active people here. The place where Qing Ci is going to meet today is also in a corner of the old city. In front of a small restaurant called "Ancient Gray".
When Kiyoshi appeared at the appointed time at dark, the little figure had been waiting under the brass lamppost for a long time, and she wore a rough linen cloak that completely concealed her appearance. Pacing back and forth around the floor tiles, a little anxiously waiting for the appointed time to come.
This is the end of a street in the old town, and less than twenty meters further there is a road blocked by abandoned buildings, and there is only one way to get in, and there is also only one way to get out. And that's where it's easy to see the problem.
"Behind you, at least six people are following." The girl took two quick steps towards Qing Ci and whispered.
"Well, I know, don't bother." Kiyoshi replied calmly.
He could no longer wear the loose clothes that he wore when he was next to Kahlir, it was always inconvenient to go out, and based on various considerations, the current Qing Priest also wore a burlap burqa, covering his head with a hood at will, and a belt on his body straddled diagonally over his shoulder. A few simple patterns were sewn on it.
"You don't have a weapon?" The girl glanced at Qing Ci and asked with some unease.
An extra-long straight-edged long sword, this has become the iconic weapon of the Qing Ci or the sword, although it is not that the Qing Ci will only use this weapon, but every time it is used, the impression left is too deep, and over time, the Qing Ci has to reduce the number of times he uses that sword. But this time, it's because it doesn't need to.
"Don't bother," Kiyoshi repeated with a smile, naturally reaching out to hold the girl's shoulders and pushing open the door of the restaurant.
The street lights in this place have long since stopped bright, so all the light sources are pale yellow in the full-screen restaurant, but unfortunately the lighting itself in such a somewhat dilapidated restaurant is not particularly bright, so it is almost impossible to see anything on the street.
The girl is really young, and her height is only half of the most of Qingci, and the two of them standing together look like Qingci with a daughter, but thinking about it like this, there is nothing unnatural. The two of them pushed open the door of the restaurant and entered it, causing several middle-aged people close to the door to take a look at them, and no one paid attention to the two of them.
"We need to hurry...... After a long time, that group of guys will block every intersection. As soon as the girl sat down in the corner seat, she whispered urging, and there was some impatience in her tone that could not be concealed.
"Don't worry, everything is fine." Qing Ci was completely unaffected by the other party's mentality, beckoned the waiter, ordered something on the menu, and then handed the menu to the girl opposite: "What do you want to eat?" As an added bonus, feel free. ”
The girl took the menu, and still looked out the window with some uneasiness, and she couldn't see anything clearly in the dim street, so she had to hide these uneasiness in her heart.
In fact, just around the corner of the intersection where she looked, there were two unsightly people hiding behind it, observing the restaurant from a distance. There were many other accomplices dressed as swordsmen, scattered and hidden in the streets, keeping the restaurant under watch from all angles.
But they didn't know that on the gray roof, there were other figures watching them.
One ring after another, and the two people who finally arrived on the bright side were Qing Xi and the girl sitting in the restaurant.
"Is your progress going well?" After the waiter walked away, the girl breathed a sigh of relief and asked seemingly casually.
"It's not a question you should ask, but it's not that you can't answer it, and honestly, it's not good." Qing Xi kept a little smile and replied softly.
"Oh yes, sorry, just out of habit." The girl nodded slightly, apologetically, but only she knew if this look was sincere.
"I knew that it was a matter of course to be able to live with the other kids in the city." Qing Ci nodded.
The girl sitting in front of her looked a little immature, but that was just a disguise, she was already the leader of a small group of street children in the city. It's not easy to live with some kids in this chaotic city. And the problem they are best at dealing with is to resell some rare information. This kind of organization with the meaning of a snake on the ground is sometimes more sensitive than the Assassin Alliance, and Qing Xi has come to receive a piece of information from her that was negotiated three days ago.
At this time, the dishes had already begun to be served one after another, and the two of them sorted out the various knives, forks and plates back and forth. At the same time, the girl silently picked up the pepper jar from the right side of the salt shaker, sprinkled it, and then placed it casually on the left side of the salt shaker.
"You don't believe that what we've given you is fake?" The girl asked abruptly, and after asking such a question, she still took a sip of soup as if nothing had happened.
"I know you're threatened, I guess it's the ones who went to Sunderland, right?" Qing Xi didn't care, and also used the pepper seasoning, sprinkled it for a while, and then put it back in its place.
In between these two small movements, several pieces of paper filled with dense words had been transferred into Qing Xi's pocket.
"Superfluous things, sorry I can't tell you too much, you know...... There are many people behind me waiting for the money. The girl said lightly, but there was no sense of relaxation in her eyes.
Information trading,Of course, this is to pay money.,The chips given by the Qing side are a certain amount of silver coins.,In exchange for information from the girl.。 It's just that this transaction was affected by another local snake force.
And the guys who threatened them were the same guys hiding in the streets outside, who looked like street gangsters, but they belonged to the same organization.
He is a group of scum who helped Sunderland in his misfortune after Sunderland took the city......
"That's why I'm hoping to have a dinner with you like this to complete another deal of ours." Qing Ci said with a smile, and that smile contained infinite confidence: "What do you think of the chips that are enough to get you out of the current predicament?" - Of course, I mean, all of you. ”
A piece of information that is important enough is certainly worth exchanging for a sufficient amount of chips.
The girl seemed to anticipate this, and she subconsciously looked at the dark street outside the window: "You are indeed the most special information agent I have ever met, but what you are referring to, I hope you can realize that this is not a simple thing at first sight......"
She closed her eyes helplessly, and then breathed a long sigh of relief. But immediately, because of Qing Xi's words, his eyes instantly widened.
"I've never really said I'm an informant." (To be continued.) )
