Chapter 1147: The Thieves' Association
Across the vast ocean, Poplar and the wolf cub led them to a seaside town.
The town is small, inhabited by only tens of thousands of people, and the air is filled with the smell of fish, and most of the people here make a living from fishing.
After a little inquiry, Poplar learned that this town was called Cuttlefish Town, which belonged to a border town called the Kingdom of Crewe.
There is no mayor in Cuttlefish Town, because it is the private domain of a small nobleman named Du Weike, and the tax security and even some laws here are made by the nobles, so it can be said that the little nobleman named Du Wei Ke is the emperor of the soil here.
"Master, what are we doing here?" Looking at the dirty and messy environment around him, the little wolf asked curiously.
Poplar, of course, did not come here to observe the life of the people at the bottom of the world, and did not stop in the town to watch, but went straight to a small tavern and replied: "Come here to find someone"
"Oh," the little wolf said no more.
From that man's memory, Poplar learned that this humble tavern in the town was a small stronghold of the Thieves' Guild, one of the seven great guilds of the Holy Light* land.
The Thieves Association, one of the seven major associations, is spread all over the Holy Light Land, of course, it is not as simple as stealing chickens and dogs, intelligence trafficking and assassination are the main sources of income for this association.
No matter how strong a person is, after all, his energy is limited, and instead of going to find the whereabouts of the temple like a headless fly himself, it is better to use the hands of others and give benefits, and drive countless people from the Thieves Association to help him find it, and the efficiency will not know how many times it will increase.
Of course, the small stronghold of the Thieves Association in front of him is not up to the task of finding the whereabouts of the Temple, and Poplar's purpose here is just to learn about the members of the Thieves Association through here, and even the headquarters of their upper echelons.
Pushing open the door of the tavern, there are actually customers in the daytime, and there are a lot of them, the inferior wine and the body odor of the people at the bottom fill the small space, coupled with the noisy environment makes the poplar a little uncomfortable.
Although he didn't have a serious cleanliness fetish, Poplar didn't want to stay here for a long time and walked straight to the bar.
Behind the bar was a bearded middle-aged man, who greeted any customer with a smile, despite his big and three thick, but the fact was that he was the owner of the tavern and the head of the stronghold of the Thieves' Guild, with blood on his hands.
Too lazy to talk nonsense, Poplar came to the bar, and before the other party had time to greet his customer, he stared into his eyes, and his consciousness penetrated into the other party's sea of consciousness to read his memory.
Soon Poplar got the information he wanted.
As the lowest branch of the Thieves' Association, they are not qualified to contact the upper echelons, and it is usually the upper echelons who contact them in a single line, but this does not prevent Poplar from getting the information he wants.
The upper echelons of the thieves association contact here, usually only one person, once a day, to pass on the news from the upper level, and this person will only meet with the person in charge here late at night, hiding in the dark, because the principal of this thieves association does not know the identity of the other party even if he has met the other party hundreds of times.
This is not a matter for Poplar, through his memory to see the person hidden in the shadows, under Poplar's powerful thinking, even if the other party is just a rough outline, it is clearly presented in his mind.
Seeing the full picture of that contact, Poplar's powerful telekinesis radiated out, and the person was locked hundreds of miles away, and the other party was located in the basement of a town hundreds of miles away from this tavern.
Without going over, directly reading the other party's memories in the air, Poplar obtained the information located at the headquarters of the Thieves Association of the Crewe Kingdom.
The Kru Kingdom is not large, with a population of only about 10 million, and even Poplar does not need to move, so he obtains information from the top through the head of the Kru Kingdom Headquarters of the Thieves Association.
Through this method, Poplar knew the location of the headquarters of the Thieves Association in less than half a day, and the efficiency was staggering.
Eventually, Poplar and the wolf cub left Cuttlefish Town, and even the people here didn't remember him in the slightest after leaving.
In Bai Yang's opinion, the entire Shengguang Da* Land is just a transit station on the way, and he doesn't want to leave too many traces here.
To put it bluntly, the Thieves Association is not a righteous and bright existence, they sell intelligence to assassinate others, and it is not an exaggeration to have enemies all over the world, it is very hidden with the real headquarters, except for the very few people at the real top of the Thieves Association, no one knows where it is.
However, now it is known to Poplar, and of course, Poplar has no intention of exposing it.
"Master, is the headquarters of the Thieves Guild here?" The little wolf asked curiously, looking at the endless dead mountains in front of him.
Bai Yang nodded and said: "Yes, this is here, three thousand miles away from us, there is a huge underground dungeon, there is the headquarters of the Thieves Association, there is a formation outside to cover, if it wasn't for my strong enough mind to see it with my own eyes, and from the lower level of the Thieves Association, I am afraid I would not have thought that the headquarters of the Thieves Association would be here."
Although Bai Yang had already made it clear, the little wolf was still at a loss, with his cultivation, he couldn't see through the truth here, but he didn't ask anything more, since the master said that it was here, it must be here.
The location was confirmed, and no matter how hidden the other party was, the entrance was found by Poplar.
When he was about to reach the entrance of the dungeon with the little wolf across the void, Poplar suddenly stopped and said lightly in the common language of this world: "Come out, first of all, I have no malicious intentions, I came here to discuss a business, and secondly, it is not polite for you to be sneaky like this!" ”
The little wolf was shocked and secretly vigilant around him, but he didn't find anything abnormal, which made him realize that there are capable people in this world, and he can't do whatever he wants.
However, no one responded.
Poplar frowned, turned his head directly to look at a very ordinary rock and said, "Do you want me to say anything more?" ”
But no one responded.
At this moment, Bai Yang's eyes were cold, and he slapped his hand to the side, the void distorted, and a man in black with a dagger appeared out of thin air, and was slapped thousands of meters away by Bai Yang.
Rumble!
The man smashed to the ground, and a mountain hundreds of meters high collapsed in an instant.
The other party was not dead, but he was seriously injured, and he could no longer hide his body, so he rushed out of the rocks, and looked at Bai Yang and the others in horror from a distance of thousands of meters.
He was an eighth-order assassin who was responsible for guarding the entrance to the headquarters of the Thieves Association, and he came and went without a trace, and the eighth-order powerhouse who died in his hands could not be counted on both hands, but this time, he was slapped away by this person who trespassed on the headquarters of the Thieves Association at will!
The other party is too terrifying, he is definitely a ninth-order powerhouse, how could he find here, what is the purpose?
Without waiting for him to speak, Bai Yang looked at the other party and said calmly: "Your thieves association, there is a president and two vice presidents, both of whom are ninth-order powerhouses, obviously you are not, can you take me to visit a certain president?" ”
"Who the hell are you and what is your purpose?" The eighth-order assassin who was injured by Poplar asked in a deep voice.
This is the headquarters of the Thieves Association, the three presidents and vice presidents of the association are all ninth-order strength, although Poplar is very powerful, but he is not afraid, there is at least one ninth-order president in the association at all times, and he will come soon, as long as he waits for a while, the other party will know that this is not a place where anyone can go wild!
Frowning slightly, there was no need to ask this eighth-order assassin who was injured after sneaking up on him, Bai Yang turned to look at the other side and said, "Since you're here, why don't you show up and see it?" You're supposed to be the president of a thief guild who doesn't even have the courage to show up in front of you? ”
Five thousand meters away from Baiyang, a thin middle-aged man in black appeared out of thin air, looked at Baiyang and said coldly: "Who are you and what is your purpose?" ”
He repeated the man's words from before, and it was obvious that the appearance of Poplar made him jealous, and he was uneasy not to figure out Poplar's identity and purpose.
His voice was very calm, but his heart was very frightened, with his ninth-order assassin's hidden methods, the other party could see through it at a glance, who was this person?
You must know that the reason why the assassin is terrible is when he hides before he makes a move, but when the assassin can no longer hide, then this assassin can be said to be half useless, how can he not be frightened.
Looking at each other, Poplar said: "It doesn't matter who I am, I just ask you, the Thieves Association, can you call the shots?" ”
"I'm one of the vice presidents of the Thieves Association, and I can call the shots for most things," the other party said in a deep voice.
Poplar's origin is mysterious, powerful, and the most terrifying thing is that he can see through his hidden means, if he can not fight, it is best that he can talk to Poplar calmly.
To put it bluntly, everything still depends on strength, if Poplar's strength is not enough, trespassing here will be killed a long time ago.
After listening to the other party's answer, Bai Yang frowned and said, "The purpose of my coming here is to make a deal with your thieves' association, if you can't call the shots, it's best to find someone who can call the shots."
That person didn't come to do something, which made the vice president of the Thieves Association who came forward a little relieved, if they did it at this level, they would ruin the land.
"Tell me, do you want intelligence or do you want us to kill anyone? As long as you can afford it, I'll call the shots," the other said.
Nodding, Poplar said bluntly: "I don't need your help to kill people, just ask you to help me find the whereabouts of the temple, of course, the temple is extremely mysterious, it has been a mystery for thousands of years, it is estimated that you will not be able to find it, as long as you can provide me with the exact information about the temple, what price do you need?" ”
"You're looking for news about the temple?" The other party asked in astonishment.
"It's my business, you just have to answer if I can do it," Poplar said with a frown.
The other man pondered for a moment and said, "We can provide you with information about the temple, but can you afford that price?" Don't rush to answer yet, the temple is too mysterious, and its information can't be bought with money."
The reason for this is because the thieves' association itself is engaged in the sale of all kinds of information and intelligence, and the news of the temple is also news, and it can be traded, provided that the other party can afford to pay that price.
After listening to the other party's answer, Poplar was overjoyed, and he really came here to the right place.
"What do you need to give me information about the temple?" Poplar asked......
