Chapter 39: Li Dai Taozhuang

87_87057 The news about the Blood Wolf Water Pirates interrogated from Homi's mouth also surprised Bai Qi.

The Blood Wolf Water Pirates, whose main business is smuggling, turned out to be not an undercover agent sent into Blackwater City by a certain city-state family as he thought, but a group of water thieves who are good at management.

In fact, it is a bit inappropriate to say that the Blood Wolf Water Pirates are water bandits, as soon as this water pirate group leaves the Blackwater Lake, they will immediately hang the flag of the city-state's merchant ships, and they almost never plunder.

They traveled between the city-states, posing as legitimate merchant ships or colluding with the city-state nobles to dump a large amount of stolen goods in Blackwater City and buy a large amount of scarce supplies for Blackwater.

It is said that this group of blood wolf water thieves has an official identity in various city-states, and has a very wide network, and almost every city-state along the Suluo River has their relatives.

For this reason, although the Blood Wolf Water Thieves and the Black Water Thieves are very close, the Sharp Blade, Blood Sail, and Winged Snake, which are not very good at dealing with the Black Water Thieves, do not dare to offend it too much.

It is said that once, because the blood wolf water thief offended the blood sail water thief, he simply closed down and hid in Blackwater City for half a year, and in the end, the blood sail water thief took the initiative to find the blood wolf to reconcile.

The closure of the blood wolf water thieves has caused the loss of nearly a quarter of the sales channels in Blackwater City, and it is a quarter of the best quality channels, and the income of the various water thief gangs has shrunk by almost one-third, and many valuable and valuable stolen goods have been backlogged in their hands because they cannot find the sales channels.

The closure of the Blood Wolf also caused the prices of some high-end goods in Blackwater City, such as high-quality ale wine, high-quality weapons produced by the dwarves, and other materials to skyrocket due to shortages.

After this incident, the status of the Blood Wolf Water Pirate Group in Blackwater City has skyrocketed, and although the force is not strong, its status is above most small and medium-sized water thief groups.

Blood Wolf is a good man and knows how to eat meat and let others drink soup, so in addition to holding his connections in his hands, he is not stingy to let other gangs of water thieves who are interested in smuggling enjoy his channels.

Every time they set sail, they were followed by a large group of large and small cargo ships behind their butts.

In this way, the Blood Wolf Water Thieves have become a peculiar existence in Blackwater City.

In terms of force, they are only a midstream water pirate group, but when it comes to influence in Blackwater City, they are not even weaker than powerful water thief gangs such as Blood Sail and Blade.

The reason why the Blood Wolf Water Pirates would order a warship is a bit funny.

On both sides of the Suluo River, there are not only water thieves in Blackwater City, on both sides of the wide Suluo River, I don't know how many large and small water thieves are still hidden, Blackwater City is just the largest and most famous gathering place for water thieves.

Therefore, the blood wolf's smuggling fleet is not safe to sail on the Suluo River, it is said that last year, the blood wolf fleet was plundered by a pirate group from nowhere, although the pirate group was finally repulsed, but the loss was not small, and due to the weakness of the cargo ship's speed and flexibility, the other party finally escaped lightly.

The warship ordered by the Blood Wolf Water Pirates is precisely to pretend to be a frigate of the city-state, so as to achieve the purpose of deterring water thieves and protecting their own smuggling fleet.

Therefore, the ship ordered by the blood wolf was not the usual water pirate warship, but imitated the style of the city-state's main warship.

These news made Bai Qi even more eager for the warship that was about to be launched.

The tavern area at night can no longer be described as lively, it is simply lively, full of water thieves who have drunk too much wine and vent wildly, there are singing, quarrelling, fighting, it is simply a group of demons dancing.

Bai Qi and Barian cautiously walked through the chaotic road to the depths of the tavern area, in front of a sizable three-story wooden building.

This wooden building is the lair of the Blood Wolf Water Thieves, the Blood Wolf Tavern.

The door of the tavern was wide open, and the tavern was almost full, and hundreds of thieves made the large tavern look crowded and chaotic, and the whole tavern was filled with the unique aroma of ale, and more than a dozen waitresses with heavy makeup were shuttling through the tavern.

Of course, these hundreds of water thieves are not all blood wolf people, in fact, most of the blood wolf water thieves are not in Blackwater City at this time, and not every share of water thieves in Blackwater City has its own tavern, and in this tavern area, there are only more than forty taverns when it is full, and the water thieves who can have their own taverns are considered medium-sized water thief gangs.

Blackwater City is more of the kind of chosen warrior, a ship, and a small gang of more than twenty water thieves.

It's very easy to form a gang of pirates in the city of pirates, as long as you have a boat and strength, you only need to shout to form a new gang of pirates, and there is absolutely no one to investigate your origins.

This is also the reason why Bai Qi and their seemingly reckless sailing ship directly into Blackwater City, stopping for half an morning, but no one paid attention to them at all, if only in terms of freedom, this is definitely the freest place in this world.

Bai Qi and Barian walked into the tavern, asked for a large glass of ale, and walked to the corner of the tavern with the wine, and secretly observed.

The furnishings of the Blood Wolf Tavern were similar to those taverns that Bai Qi had been to in the morning, there were seven or eight huge tables in the tavern of more than two hundred square meters, and each table was surrounded by more than twenty water thieves, among these water thieves, there were a total of five Chosen Warriors, surrounded by their own men, and there were heavy makeup and bright waitresses in their arms.

At the innermost end of the tavern was a long bar, and in the bar, five or six bartenders were busy without even having time to catch their breath, but in the middle of the bar, there was a bearded middle-aged man holding a glass of ale and chatting with a few water thieves outside the bar.

This bearded middle-aged man is the steward of the Blood Wolf Tavern, and he is also the fourth person of the Blood Wolf Water Pirates, listening to Huo Mi, this guy named Ram followed him when the blood wolf was the boss of the Blood Wolf Water Pirates, and he was the first mate on the blood wolf ship at that time, and later he was seriously injured in a battle, and his body became very weak, and he could not adapt to life on the water, so he was left in Blackwater City by the blood wolf, until the blood wolf tavern was established, he served as the steward of the tavern.

Bai Qi and the others came to the vicinity of the bar and listened attentively to the chatter between Ram and the others.

After listening to it for a while, Bai Qi became a little impatient, these people are either robbing or killing, and most of them are bragging elements, which sounds very boring.

Just as Bai Qi was getting impatient, Ram suddenly put down his wine glass, turned around and walked out through a small door behind him.

Bai Qi's heart moved, and he let Barian stay in the tavern, and he slipped out on his own, quickly going around to the back of the tavern.

The Blood Wolf's tavern is located in the deepest part of the tavern district, with a cluttered slum behind it, and at night, it is barely visible.

As soon as Bai Qi approached the back of the tavern, a thick smell of urine came to his nose.

In fact, all the corners of the tavern area are more or less filled with the smell of urine, who can expect the water thieves to be as high as suzhì, but behind this tavern, the urine is extremely strong, and they are almost ready to go to the toilet.

Listening to the sound of water running from behind, Bai Qi had almost confirmed his conjecture, and he poked his head out from behind the side wall to look behind the tavern.

A small back door opened on the back wall of the tavern, and the light from the back door illuminated a small area behind the tavern, and Bai Qi could barely make out that the person standing not far from the back door of the tavern was Ram.

Ale wine, an alcoholic beverage passed down from the dwarves, is somewhat similar to beer in the real world, the degree is not high, and the taste is much better than beer, and after drinking it a few times, even Bai Qi has some liking this drink.

However, drinking this kind of wine has the same disadvantage as drinking beer, that is, after drinking too much, you will keep going to the toilet, and it can be said that this kind of wine is the main culprit of the urine in the tavern area.

Therefore, when Bai Qi saw Ram, whose face was flushed, turn around and walk into the back kitchen of the tavern, he immediately thought about what he might be doing.

confirmed his conjecture, and an idea gradually took shape in Bai Qi's mind.

Back at the tavern, Bai Qi asked Barrian to come to the bar and let him take a closer look at Ram's figure.

Soon after, the two of them left the Blood Wolf Tavern together and headed for Captain Will's lair.

On the way, Bai Qi asked Barrian, "How sure are you if you were asked to make Gunder as Ram?" ”

Barian thought for a moment and said: "It shouldn't be a big problem, Ram is a little taller than Gunder, you only need to put a little stuff in your shoes to solve it, as for Ram's bulging belly is also easy to solve, I think I can do it." ”

Listening to Barrian's words, Bai Qi was relieved, Barrian's precision talent gave him an amazing talent for such delicate things as disguise.

Back at Will's lair, Bai Qi called Gunder and gave him some orders to let Barian take him to the second floor of the stone castle.

For a full hour, Barian walked down with a middle-aged man with a big beard and a bulging belly.

Rounda looked at the stranger in surprise, and if it weren't for Bai Qi waving his hand to signal that he was okay, he would have almost drawn his sword.

Bai Qi looked at the bearded middle-aged man with satisfaction, and nodded again and again with satisfaction.

He left Roundup alone in Captain Will's lair, and returned to the tavern district with Barrian and the disguised Gonder again.

The three of them followed the shadow of the building to the Blood Wolf Tavern, Barian and Gunder quietly slipped behind the tavern, and Bai Qi walked into the tavern.

After asking for a glass of ale, Bai Qi slammed it in front of the bar and continued to listen boredly to Ram's small talk with people.

After about twenty minutes, Ram put down his glass and walked into the back kitchen.

Bai Qi immediately sent a message to Barrian through the team.

About three minutes later, Ram walked back to the counter and shouted to the bartenders to do their jobs, claiming that he was tired and needed to go up and rest.

After instructing the bartender, Ram waved to the few people on the bar who had just bragged to him, and turned around again and walked into the back kitchen, no one noticed that Ram gave Bai Qi a look when he greeted the people in front of the bar.

Seeing Ram's eyes, Bai Qi knew that his plan had succeeded, and he dropped a few copper coins and turned to leave the tavern.

In the shadows on the side of the tavern, Barrian was crouching on the ground, holding a motionless man in his hands.

Bai Qi came to Barrian's side, touched the beard on the man's face, smiled with satisfaction, lifted the man up, and quickly slipped into the slum behind the tavern.

The two returned to Will's lair, carried Ram up to the second floor of the stone tower, and began the interrogation again.
