Chapter 7 The Soldiers Are Divided into Two Paths
"That's supposed to be the dock. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Neither of them was a fisherman's place to go, but the deceased's friends never suspected him for this, and never thought that the old fisherman was actually a thief.
Compared to the northern city where the nobles lived, the docks in the western city were more like the stronghold of the thieves' guild, after all, there was chaos there, and no one would trouble the thieves.
"But there will definitely be people who will trouble the fisherman. ”
"That's Beicheng? The reason he went to both places was to send a special kind of fish ......."
Magellan glanced at Sherlock Holmes, and like him, the great detective couldn't determine which place was more suspicious.
"Then let's go see both. ”
There were no other clues here, and several people got into the carriage, and they prepared to go to the pier in the west of the city first.
"If you find that murderer......"
"Actually, Scotland Yard can't try him anymore," Holmes didn't make any changes for joining the Hunters, but a thief with a supernatural power can't be tried - that's what everyone knows after Magellan's court havoc, "so you can ask whatever you want before the Hunter takes him." ”
"Hope everything goes well. ”
A shadow always hung over Magellan's mind, but he didn't know why.
The West Side was as chaotic as ever, but now it was chaotic in a very different way.
Crowded with all kinds of people, it looks a little bustling, completely different from the previous desertion.
Despite the confusion of the crowd, he was somewhat surprised by Magellan's invariability to get out of the way as he walked by.
"The old tenants here have moved......"
"Because it's a dilapidated house," Magellan was pleasantly surprised to find that it wasn't all strangers, at least one of the old residents he knew remained, "and there were too many new tenants." ”
Everything went incredibly well, as if the old man had brought good fortune, and he remembered the strange fisherman well, and pointed out to Magellan the places that the fisherman frequented.
It's a small house that's common in this part of the city, with earthen walls and wooden planks, and many people will take it for granted to go in and sleep, but no one will find it anything special.
"If I'm a member of the Thieves' Guild, then this is a perfect stronghold, isn't it?"
Arthur was in high spirits, and he was the first to enter the hut, and like all normal rooms, there was nothing and nothing here.
"More than one person has been here. ”
"None of them stay long, there's someone here, but he doesn't live here. ”
It's a neat and cosy place, the door isn't even locked, the house is not big, and the bedrooms are separated by wooden boards.
But no one lives here, and everyone who comes to the room just leaves in a hurry, as if it were a station.
"Extraordinary power. ”
Watson spoke for the first time while Holmes was looking for clues.
"What?"
"It's the same as the corpse. ”
"Here ......"
Magellan began to try to find hidden secret doors or corpses, but he, Arthur, and Holmes found nothing.
"Extraordinary power has changed something, but it shouldn't be a corpse. ”
"So?"
So what is hidden is a secret door to the stronghold of the Thieves' Guild.
"I remember there was a fork in the sewer that led to here. ”
"Are you sure?"
Until last night, Magellan had not had any knowledge of the city's sewer system, and it seemed that the city had not yet built a sewer.
"You can try. ”
Magellan said and took out the Luoyang shovel.
"You ......" Arthur didn't know what to say, "you brought this thing with you......"
"Be prepared. ”
Magellan expertly assembled it and inserted the shovel head into the ground.
Soon something blocked the Luoyang shovel, and Magellan didn't seem surprised.
"There's something. ”
"Really?"
It couldn't have been rock formations or the occasional stone, unless Magellan's guess was right, the sewers, which were also the stronghold of the thieves' guild.
"Just look at it. ”
Then Magellan took out the sapper shovel.
"You...... Isn't it?"
"Don't worry, I'm fast. ”
Magellan smiled.
His movements were indeed fast, and when the gray bricks were exposed under the pit, Arthur had not even reacted.
"Is the supernatural power down there?"
"No," Watson shook his head, "it used to be in there. ”
Arthur laughed and jumped off.
This is the stronghold of the Thieves' Guild.
Then he found another ruin underneath: corpses, empty and chaotic, exactly as he had seen last night.
"Ah...... Don't let me see the guy who made this happen. ”
Arthur sighed helplessly.
"What else in this world could destroy the Thieves' Guild so completely?"
Holmes smiled: "No, that has nothing to do with this case. ”
"It's the easiest direction......," Magellan sighed, "I don't have much time. ”
"Thankfully, you're not alone. ”
Magellan looked at Holmes and smiled: "Okay, I'll go find the hunter." ”
"It's finally starting to get something interesting. Arthur didn't care about the differences between Magellan and Sherlock Holmes, he just wanted to have some fun, "I'll go with you." ”
"Let's go. ”
......
"Welcome ......"
When the hunter saw Magellan and Arthur, a hint of confusion flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Please follow me. ”
What he didn't know was that the fluctuations of the hunter's aura did not escape Magellan's senses.
Walking in a hunter's gathering place is like walking through a whirlpool of overlapping worlds - if one can sense the hunter's breath.
Magellan is like that now.
Countless eyes with malice and kindness and wavering gathered on him, and countless breaths with various different feelings were like mixed but incompatible colors in a glass of water, entangled around him.
But Magellan didn't care.
"Welcome. ”
He was greeted by the grand sound of the voices of countless people in the Hunter Council, as well as the superimposed power of countless worlds.
"Thank you!"
Arthur smiled and stood beside Magellan.
"Interesting, isn't it?"
"Tell me what you mean, Professor Magellan. ”
"Who destroyed the Thieves' Guild?"
There was silence all around.
In the darkness, the breath of countless hunters was like a deep dark cloud on the edge of the sky where a thunderstorm was approaching, and the thunderous power was endlessly surging in the endless darkness, ready to erupt.
"No one can destroy the Thieves' Guild. ”
This is an ancient and deep-rooted, not very powerful but extremely tenacious dark force, it is like a big tree, its roots are deep in every corner of the dark world, for centuries.
