Chapter 35: Night on Hyena Street (Part 2) (Page 1/1)

The black market in Hyena Street is the economic lifeblood of the Corick gang, and it is rumored that the vast majority of the stolen money of this street gang comes from this private market, which is not officially recognized and regulated by official law, except for a few private transactions with the local aristocracy, and it is obvious that there are many fewer idlers near the entrance to the market, and there are many more guards than the streets that Alice, Urs, and Thea walked through not long ago.

Naturally, the guards on duty and patrolling near the entrance to the Black Market were not the Northland Lord's guards, but the private armed forces loyal to the leader of the Koric Gang, and although they were not equipped with the elite court guards in the Lord's Castle, they were much better than the ordinary street patrol guards, each wearing a piece of chain mail, holding an iron halberd or sword, plus a dagger and a light crossbow at their waists.

Urs stood beside Alice and Thea and watched the guys in their field of vision, recalling the memories related to this gangster neighborhood in the previous life, and knew that the leader of the Koric gang did maintain contacts with many local nobles under the Earls of the Northland, and provided long-term orders for the iron casting workshop controlled by one of the baronial lords, converted some of the gang's stolen money into weapons and armor equipment for the thugs in the organization, and even sent a small number of trusted thugs to receive military training from the nobles' private soldiers.

The leader's name was Colin.

Colin Coleck, an ambitious man, has been directing the rapid rise of the Corick gang in the streets of Helmet City since a few years ago, and is very clever in handing over many gang properties to his own small boss cadres, ordering them to give only half of the profits to themselves, and the other half to be squandered by the small group they lead as the price of buying people's hearts, so as to ensure the loyalty of his subordinates, and further divide the part of his income into a large amount of money to establish good relations with the aristocratic circles in the Northlands.

This man's methods are clever and hidden, and before Kevin Stun notices that something is wrong, he has already tied Hyena Street and many local nobles in the Northlands into a chain of interests, making it very inconvenient for him to take the simplest and rude way to kick this place directly, and at the same time, he must always pay attention to the many affairs in the territory and the political attitudes of other imperial lords towards the Northlands, so he and his gang forces have been one of the headaches of the paladin lords of the Northlands in recent years.

Until now—until the young paladin Count was now accidentally killed on the cliff of Shieldhorn in the Earldom of Silver Shield.

Relying on the memories of his previous life to recall all kinds of information related to the Korrick gang, Urs couldn't help but think of the news of Kevin's murder again, and in the depths of his heart, he still felt a little unbelievable, feeling that even if this news was told to him by Alice, who was his own sister, it was still too ...... for a character like him to leave the scene hastily

It's a little unreal.

Isn't it?

You know, that guy is so strong that he has even fully awakened his soul talent? Guardian of the Empire's North, Inquisitor of the Sogo Church, and the only high-ranking paladin of this era to be recognized by the Holy Avenger's Sword...... Actually buried by an accidental landslide on the way home?

This kind of thing sounds like a medieval farmer who suddenly tells you that the great red-bearded Barbarossa accidentally fell into a river and drowned during his march.

That's......

The young man thought to himself, his eyes watched the gang guards near the entrance of the black market on Hyena Street, and he also paid close attention to the movements around Alice and Thea, and when the time passed a little later, he suddenly noticed the footsteps of several people approaching from a dark alley on the side of the street.

Alice had put on a hood tonight, wearing a long cloak and cloak with that hood attached, and noticed that someone was coming towards her, and then turned around to see several people dressed in the same costume as the black market guards coming out of the shadows of the alley.

The men were undoubtedly all male, ranging in age from young to prime, and the first man, who looked to be twenty-six or seventeen years old, raised his hand to signal the people next to him to stop when he saw that everyone had noticed the arrival of his group, and then stepped forward himself and asked tentatively: "Lady Alice Stun...... Right? ”

The man at the head was unarmoured, nor did he have any visible spare weapons, but wore a gray shirt with a leather jacket, a long, one-handed knife with a slight curve at his waist, dark brown medium-length hair tied in a low braid at the back of his head, and uncleaned stubbles all over his chin and the sides of his face.

Alice looked at him calmly for a few seconds, her eyes looked from top to bottom, and she stayed on the half-cut paper coupon in his hand for a moment, then raised her hand and took off the hood on her head and stepped forward, looking at him and asking, "Is Colin's sincerity just to send a few thugs to meet us?" ”

When the words fell, although there was a hint of dissatisfaction and doubt on the surface in her tone, she also showed the other half of the corresponding paper coupon from her hand.

The two halves of the paper tickets that appear in the hands of the man and Alice together form a complete auction invitation ticket.

The Kolik gang is very careful, and when it comes to important transactions, they usually divide the relevant tokens into two parts in advance, one is entrusted to the other party in advance, and the remaining half is kept in their own hands to be used to confirm each other when they meet.

The man who came on behalf of the Kolik gang lowered his gaze, looked at the other half of the paper coupon in Alice's hand, nodded his head with satisfaction, and then unhurriedly pressed his right hand to his heart and bowed slightly to the three of them to explain: "No, no, no, the lovely little lady, the beautiful half-beast lady, and the big man over there." I'm Evans, and although it's true that I'm a thug, I'm the most trustworthy thug next to my master, and it's not an exaggeration to say that I'm a personal guard who was given my master's life, so I'm qualified to come forward for my master this time, and bring someone over to welcome you to tonight's venue. ”

After speaking, he raised his head, stood up straight, and glanced at Thea standing next to Alice and Urs, and the curvature of his mouth inadvertently hooked.

"Lady Alice, I don't trust this man very much, his eyes reveal an aggressive malice......" Thea caught his gaze alertly, the wolf ears above her head immediately shook slightly, her mouth clenched her teeth and muttered, and her feet subconsciously approached the side of Urs's shoulder half a step.

Evans' gaze did not escape Thea's attention, nor did he escape Urs's gaze.

Urs glanced sideways at Thea, and moved half a step in tacit understanding, and his big rough hand quietly grabbed her small hand with the cover of Alice's body standing in front of the two, but this time he didn't rush to glare back at Evans with a warning for the sake of the overall situation.

He understood that Alice hadn't brought him and Thea to Hyena Street tonight to make trouble.

Alice looked back from the corner of her eye, and the hand on her waist pressed lightly behind her back, also signaling the two of them not to be provoked, and then moved the focus of her eyes back to Evans's face, and asked in her trademark cold tone: "Lead the way, Evans, and do the job for your master." ”

"As you wish, ma'am." Evans grinned, then turned back to the alley.
