Chapter 184: Information on the Count of Hein
When Lao Li returned to the carpenter's hut at night, it was raining outside, and there was an autumn rain like ice, drenched on his body, and the Soul Eater Banshee Morel suddenly began to have a fever, a bit like a high fever.
Francis laughed at her for eating too much in her soul and receiving retribution.
The raindrops fell from the sky like daggers, and it never rained in the wasteland, such an autumn rain was very familiar to Lao Li.
He'd kind of forgotten what was going on.
It's not much different from what I remember, except that it's colder here, like a steel needle piercing the slave at the mouth of the alley.
A few hyenas and orcs shook their fur and barely cowered under the eaves, and the ground where the waste water flowed gave a baptism of autumn rain, and there were mud puddles everywhere.
Let's go!
A few barefoot horses walked past the doorway in muddy water, splashing a pile of black mud spots, and the city guards were on routine patrol, and they were going to tell them that they were infected with the stone devil's curse and brought them back.
Two pearl sea eagles landed on the carpenter's roof, fluttering and shaking their wings a few times, shaking their heads and splashing a lot of rain.
Lao Li opened the door, and the two sea eagles jumped into the door and shook a few times, slowly pulling their bodies up, standing up like humans, "I've seen the Jade Lord!"
A few palm-sized sparrows flew in, chirping non-stop.
Silver gulls, owls, long-billed cranes, flamingos!
The carpenter's hut became a refuge for the birds, some burrowing under the livestock sheds in the yards, others sheltering from the autumn rain with simple eaves, and a few petrels leaning against the eaves and chirping.
There were only two yellow warblers and a white-haired owl in the house.
"Do you have anything to explain to the flaming crane?", these are the subordinates of the Bolangsha flaming crane, Lao Li lost contact after entering the witch's castle rashly, and the speed of these feather clans is really fast.
The Sea Eagle Maiden said, "The boss asked us to find the traces of His Excellency the Lord, things in the wasteland are calming down, the Wings of War Legion has sent a heavy army in Smai City, winter is coming, and the next orc invasion may be being prepared." The Stormwind project is also slowly moving forward. ”
"Is there any news of the man I asked you to inquire about when I came out of the wasteland?"
The Seahawk Maiden took out a piece of parchment from her undershirt sleeve and wrote it densely.
Hine, the Earl, 35 years old, a hereditary nobleman of the Gale Kingdom, fiefdom Silvermoon Canyon, took refuge under the royal family after the civil strife in the kingdom, and now temporarily resides in the small corner of the Hurricane Tower.
"That's all?"
The Sea Eagle Maidens blushed in embarrassment, and the order they received was to patrol the Gale Kingdom in the sky and provide Li Zhenshu with the necessary intelligence information at any time.
This is nothing more than official information.
"Hine is in control of the twenty-four slaughterhouses in the slums, and every smuggler here has a close connection to him, three casinos in the slums are in his name, and he is the master of the Red Prisoners' Chamber of Commerce. The owl said quietly on the other side, as if recounting Hein's resume.
"Red Prisoner Chamber of Commerce?", Li Zhen nodded, this Chamber of Commerce has a lot of reputation, it is a few big business groups in Emerald Ridge, doing ordinary leather business in the underground tunnel every day.
But Lao Li knew that under the leather goods was a developed slave trade, and it was one of the old slave merchants in the Agate Wasteland.
Li Zhenshu deliberately glanced at the owl, such information was definitely not something that could be heard, "Is there anything else?"
"Hine not only arrests slaves, but also buys goods from other slave groups, the twenty-four snakeheads in the slums are his personal subordinates, he controls the slave market in the entire Gale City, and only with his acquiescence can the slave goods be transported to Gale City, even the eldest prince's maid must be agreed by the earl, and he also secretly exports Terran girls to the outside world. ”
"Head traffickers?", Li Zhenshu was a little disgusted.
The owl nodded, "Coolies, women, even magicians, priests, and Hine can handle it, and if the price is right, you can buy a woman from the royal family or a big noble." ”
"Royal women, they don't care?", Li Zhenshu was surprised that the royal family actually sold their own people as slaves.
"The price is very high, and the wealth earned by Hine fully supports the eldest prince Carmel, and even a few dukes turn a blind eye. ”
"Where's the Hurricane Tower?", the magician probably won't sit idly by.
"Hine runs the largest auction house in Gale City, and he can do a lot of precious items that a mage needs, and he has a good relationship with the three dukes, and he is friends with the five Holy Order mages in Hurricane City. ”
This man really has hands and eyes.
Li Zhen looked at the sky in astonishment, that snake head might have leaked his whereabouts, and the dagger with the curse of the stone demon would definitely interest the Count of Hein.
The owl stayed on the beam of the house without saying a word, and there was not a single superfluous answer in his answer.
The fact that the Bolangsha Flaming Crane was able to send him here already showed his ability, and his eyes slanted at the corner, and there was a figure.
Shadow Elve!
If it weren't for the fact that the other party could show a little flaw, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.
Quietly walking towards the back room, a figure wrapped in black cloth slowly emerged from the darkness, and the concave and convex figure black cloth clothes couldn't stop it at all.
On his tight buttocks was a swarthy dagger, with the same black eyes as Li Zhenshu.
"Ash asked me to pick up some orders!", her voice was cold, but not icy.
Li Zhen nodded and didn't say anything more, the other party slowly hid into the shadows, Lao Li rubbed his eyes, and there was nothing in front of him except the dark shadows illuminated by the lights.
I stepped forward and touched it, but there was nothing at all.
But he was sure that the Shadow Elves had not left, and that the Shadow Elves' invisibility was so wonderful that even the eyeless birds controlled by Francis the Devil had not noticed any of them.
The autumn rain massaged the quagmire land, and Morel's fever worsened.
Lao Li was speechless about the banshee's high fever, and Morel would often say in vain at this time, who almost died on the plateau.
Staring indifferently at the darkening sky, this autumn rain should have been falling for a long time, and the coughing sound next door was faintly heard.
War, the Stone Demon Curse, and the rampant high fever.
I don't know how many lives will die in this catastrophe.
As the night turned bright, a terrible news spread to thousands of households, making these poor people, who had been tortured to the extreme, more and more afraid.
A stone man appeared in the slaughterhouse, and the killing spree slashed five people, two of whom escaped surrounded by the city guards.
The refugees hid in their houses, shivering and waiting for the city guards to inspect them.
At this moment, in the carpenter's hut, the head of the snake looked curiously at all kinds of birds, and the flamingo, which likes hot and dry, has never entered the human realm, and there is one here.
Thinking of the black crow on the other party's shoulder, this lord is fond of raising birds.
"The slaughterhouse should be able to be taken down within three days!", the other party swore that he would not be so afraid of Lao Li after completing a deal.
The dagger was placed on the table, and one was not missing.
It's its own dagger!
Li Zhen smiled faintly, "What are your plans?"
"It's very simple, as long as the stone demon curse spreads for a few days, the slaughterhouse will soon become a mess that no one will take over, and then those city guards will hope that someone will take over. The snake head casually admired the red Morel, who had a sickly obsession with beautiful women.
"What do you need me to do?", Lao Li casually put a few golden hooves on the table, "If there is a lack of golden hooves, you can help a little." ”
"No!", the snake head said with a smile, "I am very grateful to be able to fulfill your request, that slaughterhouse will be very cheap." His eyes swept over the dagger on the side, "I would venture to ask, how these two made the dagger not as simple as just staining it with some stone demon blood." ”
"Why do you care about this?", Li Zhen's eyes narrowed half-squinted.
"No, no, just curious, this thing works very well, if I can have a dagger like this, the next street is mine, by the way, there is also a slaughterhouse there, is there any interest in taking it down. ”
"I'm not interested!", Li Zhenshu categorically rejected the other party's request, "I only do an ordinary transaction, and besides, my control of the slaughterhouse must be kept absolutely confidential." ", which is deliberately emphasized later.
"Ordinary trading?", the head of the snake said in a questioning tone, his eyes swept to Morel where Li Zhen hid the dagger, "I just want to borrow the dagger again." ”
"I'm sorry!", Li Zhenshuo flatly refused the other party's request, "I also borrowed this thing from a friend." ”
"Friend, what kind of friend?", the head of the snake asked with concern.
"You seem to be interested in my friend!"
"How come?", the snake head smiled embarrassedly, "How can I be interested if I haven't seen each other, I like to make friends!", his appearance is very weird, and he is not so afraid of Lao Li at first.
