The other side.

After separating from Bista and leaving the training ground, Xia no walked leisurely through the streets and alleys of Frost City.

Unlike the former, he basically had no injuries in this sword duel, and there was no need to even change his clothes, at most he consumed a small half of his physical strength, and with his strong physique, it didn't take long to recover on his own.

So.

After the battle, he didn't plan to rest, but simply seized this rare rest time, walked around, and gave himself a day or two off.

Although he is used to training in hell for a long time, it is good to relax a little once in a while.

…………

Frost City covers a vast area and is densely populated, and in terms of the prosperity of commerce, it is second only to the Chambord Islands among the islands that Xano has visited.

Therefore, several hours passed after this circle, until dusk, Xia Nuo looked up at the sky, and felt that he was almost relaxed, so he turned around and headed towards the south of the city.

There, the Tempest Pirates have already chartered an entire small hotel, which is a temporary accommodation for everyone these days.

"Huh?"

In the crowded street, Xia Nuo suddenly slowed his pace and glanced quietly at the alley to the left.

Two black shadows disappeared at the end of the alley at this moment.

"Is it interesting to follow me, ......"

Xia Nuo's eyes flashed slightly, and he chuckled.

After a moment's hesitation, he didn't follow, but opened up all his sights and sounds, pinpointed the movements of the two men, and then continued to walk along the same path as if nothing had happened.

…………

Half an hour later, in the southwest of the city, in a lively tavern.

Two sneaky figures pushed open the shutter door, made their way through the bustling crowd, and came to a remote corner of the tavern.

At the table in the corner sat a couple of pirates, drinking beer and talking in low voices.

Seeing the arrival of the two, the pirates led by him frowned, stared at them coldly, and said, "Why did it take so long to come back?" ”

"Captain, you can't blame us for that."

The two glanced at each other, and the tall man on the left replied with a bitter face: "That guy has never meant to go back to rest, just dangling on the street alone, and we don't dare to get too close, for fear that he will find out, and this coming and going will waste hours in vain......"

"I don't want to listen to this nonsense!"

This pirate known as the captain, although his body is a little ordinary, but his face is gloomy, and he doesn't look like a person to be messed with, at this moment he glared at the thin and tall man viciously, and after the latter was scared for a while, he asked in a calm tone: "You just need to tell me the results, have you found the other party's address?" ”

"Check ...... Found. ”

The tall and thin man didn't dare to sell any more, and hurriedly replied, "It's in the third block in the south of the city, a small hotel called Ex. ”

"Guesthouse ...... Aix"

The captain with a gloomy face motioned to his subordinates sitting next to him to unfold the map on the table, searched for it, and after determining the location, he narrowed his eyes slightly, looked up and asked, "Is everyone living there?" ”

"This ......"

The thin and tall man first subconsciously hesitated, and then under the interrogating gaze of his captain, he hurriedly trembled and said: "Yes, it should be right, doesn't it mean that there are only more than forty people in their entire pirate group, such a hotel, as long as there are enough empty rooms, it must be able to live in it......"

After answering, there was no sound on the other side of the table, and the tall thin man who had not waited for his captain to reply lowered his head, and was feeling a little uneasy in his heart, when he heard the familiar cold voice again:

"Hopefully, all this information is accurate, and if something goes wrong, what will be the consequences...... You two know it for yourselves, right? ”

"Clear ...... Clear. ”

A chill suddenly jumped up from his back, and the thin and tall man didn't dare to linger any longer, and after bowing to the captain and several cadres, he hurriedly pulled another companion who was following him together, and cautiously exited the bar.

"Hoo ......"

When he got outside, after losing the sense of oppression given by the captain, the thin and tall man breathed a sigh of relief, looked at his companion beside him, and found that he was also the same as himself, his head was covered with cold sweat, and he looked like he had palpitations.

"Ugh."

Seeing this scene, the tall and thin man patted the companion on the back, sighed and said, "Let's go, it's not a big deal, the captain has always been like this, he likes to talk cruelly." You haven't gotten used to it when you first join, but you'll get used to it after staying for a long time, don't worry too much, let's find another tavern and have a few drinks. ”

"Hmm."

The newcomer, who had only been on the boat for more than two months, came to his senses, and after turning his head to look inside the shutter door in fear, he was taken by the tall and thin man into the side alley, towards another bar not far from the street.

However.

As soon as they turned into the sparsely populated alley, the ground suddenly turned into a swamp and began to squirm and twist.

The two of them noticed the change under their feet, and when they looked down, their expressions suddenly changed, but before they could shout in panic, they were swallowed up by the oncoming mire, and then disappeared into the alley without a trace.

…………

"Good job."

It was already dark at night, and in the room on the second floor of the Aix Hotel, Xia Nuo encouraged him with relief after listening to Kira's report.

"With the specific directions given by Brother Xano, this task is actually quite simple......" Kira scratched her head a little embarrassedly.

Seeing him like this, Xia Nuo smiled and didn't say more, but turned his head to look at the two people who were knocked unconscious in the corner, and said, "I've been with me for so long, I didn't expect it to be for such a show, it's interesting......"

Before coming to his room, Kira had already used some means to force the two people to ask the cause of the incident, and after the report just now, Xia Nuo basically figured out everything that happened inside and outside the tavern.

The two fools who had been following them all afternoon were a low-level crew member of the pirate group called "Water Ghost", and the reason why they followed Xia no all the way was because they were ordered by their captain to investigate the location of Xia Nuo and his party before it got dark today.

The scale of this water ghost pirate group is quite large, there are five or six hundred people in total, and their captain "Water Ghost" Paike is a water plant fruit ability, which can spread countless water plants from the body, and can also control similar plants in the ocean, which is quite powerful.

After destroying a certain naval branch and plundering all the belongings of the local towns, he escaped from the encirclement with his subordinates and entered the New World, where he was furious by the naval headquarters and offered a reward of 390 million Baileys.
