Chapter 121: Black Harbor Society
Old Beard didn't dare to hide anything, and told him everything Xue Hua wanted to know.
It turned out that old Beard and the guys who had just come up and were hiding in the shadows were members of an underground organization called the "Black Harbor Society".
This organization has only been established for a long time, just over two years.
However, due to the strong skills of the leader of the organization and the strength of his personal strength, the speed of development is very fast.
It took only two years for the nascent Black Harbor Order to integrate the underground forces of the entire King's Port District, and also recruited most of the Assassin professionals and Black Harbor agents who had just been re-established from King's Harbor during the inauguration ceremony.
This organization will contribute money and efforts to help novice professionals and mercenaries who have just joined the club to go through trials, and give varying degrees of support according to their level cap and career potential.
And since the Black Harbor Society integrated the underground black forces in the port area, the port area of Kingsport has changed from the chaotic situation in the past and has become much more orderly.
This organization will also collect protection money, but the protection fee they collect will not exceed the upper limit of people's tolerance, and their protection fee is really effective, once a short-sighted thug tries to bully the port residents who have paid the protection fee, the revenge of the Black Harbor Society will immediately fall on those thugs.
Even the extremely corrupt Harbor Patrol has suffered a few times from the Black Harbor Society.
The patrol guys reported the matter to the higher-ups of the aristocratic district, who had originally prepared to knock on the fledgling underground.
However, I don't know what happened that night, anyway, the next day, the high-ranking officer sternly warned the port patrol team that they would never touch the black harbor society again.
The matter is over, but the reputation of the Black Harbor Society is getting louder and louder.
Since the members of the Black Harbor Guild are very well-behaved - unruly ones will soon "disappear" outright - the people in the port area have a good impression of them, so the Black Harbor Guild has become the maintainer of underground order in the port area of Kingsport, and now in the port area, their words are even more effective than the king's decrees.
There are many professionals and mercenaries in the Black Harbor Society, most of them are Assassins and "Black Harbor Agents" exclusive to King's Harbor inauguration, but there are also a few other professionals and mercenaries.
The group's hidden strength is very strong, but they don't seem to have any bigger ambitions other than to control the underground forces in the port area.
On the other hand, although the Black Harbor Society will also collect protection fees, in fact, their main source of income has nothing to do with the so-called "protection fees", and the protection fees they collect are more like the "tithes" that sailors and seafarers will pay to the sea when they go to sea, exaggerating the symbolic meaning of order more than the actual value.
The real main source of income for the Black Harbor Society is intelligence.
They are very good at finding information, and they can often get some very secret and important information that outsiders do not know at all.
The Black Harbor will sell this information to the right people, and then charge a large "intelligence service fee" from it.
The leader of this underground organization is very mysterious, some people say that he is from Lu Gaoin, and he is the leader of a huge underground organization.
It is also said that he is from Kurast and is one of the leaders of the mysterious League of Assassins.
There are even marginal theories that he was a spy sent by the Kingdom of Westmar to unite the underground forces of King's Harbor and prepare for the overthrow of Wood VI's rule.
There are hundreds of versions of the rumors, but the leader of the Black Harbor has never admitted or denied any of them.
Even the core members of the Black Harbor Society rarely see the true face of this leader.
He only lets everyone in the Black Harbor Society call him "The Helmsman", but never reveals his real name.
And Black Harbor will sell intelligence, and they never go to find people by themselves, usually they release some rumors, and then people who want to buy intelligence will automatically come to the door and be stabbed.
Like Xue Hua this time, this is the first time since the establishment of the Black Harbor Society.
"Listen to what you mean... Should I be proud? ”
The corners of Xue Hua's eyes jumped, and he already felt the trouble of the matter.
He's had enough trouble on his body now, and he doesn't want to give himself a new ......
Old Beard is not very good-looking, but he is a good hand, he saw the expression on Xue Hua's face (he had already canceled the original prototype) and knew what the great god in front of him was thinking, so he quickly said what his own leader had told him in advance.
"Mr. Xue, our helmsman said that this piece of information will not cause you any trouble, and it will be ...... for you to crack the current situation in King's Port" Speaking of this, Beard raised his eyebrows at Xue Hua: "Very useful. ”
"Oh? Say it, I'll listen. Xue Hua nodded, a trace of interest in his heart.
However, when he heard his words, Beard became embarrassed.
"Uh... This ......"
"What's wrong? Oh yes! You guys sell intelligence for a living, I know, how much does it cost, say? ”
"Well, that's the case, Mr. Xue, our helmsman said that this information is really extraordinary, and he wants to meet you in person... And the person at the helm says that you are his friend, and this information will be given to you for free whenever he sees you. ”
"My friend?" Xue Hua blinked, a little confused.
The guy's letterhead also reads "An old friend," and here he tells his men that he wants to meet him in person......
Are they really friends?
But why can't he remember when he had such a mysterious friend?
"Alright, I'll go meet your helmsman and see who he really is."
Xue Hua was aroused by his curiosity and decided to meet this mysterious "old friend".
"Great! Your Excellency, our helmsman is waiting for you at the Snake Bay Tavern in the port area, and he says that when you arrive, all you need to do is ask the bartender for 'half a glass of bitter algae wine mixed with seawater' and 'a swordfish without scales', and the bartender will know what you mean. ”
"Snake Bay Tavern... Hey! What a nostalgia! ”
Xue Hua shook his head and smiled, when he first came to King's Harbor with his will clone, the place where he stayed on the first night was the Snake Bay Tavern.
There, he also met an old sea hunter with an unusual life experience and seemed to have the physique to attract disasters and cause trouble.
Now that he wants to revisit the old place, he is really looking forward to it.
This time, however, he went to the tavern with his real identity, which many people there must not recognize.
Well, let's take it a revisit, after all, it was a volitional clone at the time, and although it had all kinds of senses, it was still a gap with the deity......
I just don't know, how is that "old Cherki" doing now?
When the swarm rescued him from the stronghold of the Evolution Church, this old man was only half a breath of toss.
Fortunately, it was only after the mother's feeding that he was able to revive it!
