Chapter 224: The Intelligence Peddler
p Lion King - Bibab.
Hearing this name, the lion monster couldn't help but fall into deep thought. It felt as if something was wrong, and it was clear that everything was going smoothly just nowβthe king of the grassland, the king of thousands of monsters, such an identity was enough to show the supremacy of the lion.
The name Kobi Bab......
Although it had never heard a similar name, it somehow felt that it was too unserious.
"Bibab is a good fit for him, and as for me, you can just call me Zurtan. β
Before Lin Qiu said 'Big Scroll', the lizard monster was keenly aware of the abnormality. The monster's intuition is very sensitive, the lizard monster's sixth sense is the best among the monsters, although he doesn't know what conspiracy Lin Qiuqi's name hides, but his sense of smell will not be wrong.
- This kid is cheating on them.
But on the other hand, Lin Qiu's words also gave him some inspiration.
It doesn't have a name of its own, but it's all too easy to find something special from memory - Zurtan is a strange human who has traveled to the North alone, a shaved head, dark-skinned, and exposed skin covered in strange patterns, and a necklace strung from the skull of a beast, and the snow and ice of the North for thousands of years have not affected him in the slightest.
Wizard Zultan.
This is what people call him, but there are also people who call him "the last alchemist".
After the failure of the plan to name Dajuan, Lin Qiu sighed with some regret, and then admonished: "After you go out, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't make any strange moves, because you will be detected by the secrets of the imperial capital as soon as you step out of the slums." β
In this regard, Lin Qiu had to make adequate preparations in advance.
In addition to the appearance problem, Bibab and Shi Zultan also have another fatal problem - even after signing a contract of allegiance with Lin Qiu, they cannot speak human language, and the only effect of the contract is to allow Lin Qiu to communicate with them, and in the eyes of "normal people" such as Ella, Bibab and Zultan have already interpreted eye and gesture communication to the extreme.
And this is exactly what Lin Qiu is worried about.
He looks like a criminal, and he communicates with his eyes and sign language...... If he hadn't known the details of these two monsters, he would have mistaken them for terrorists plotting to assassinate Henry VI or carry out suicide bombs.
"The secret department?" the two-headed monster is like a great enemy.
They hadn't set foot in human society for a long time, and they knew very little about the current imperial capital. As the center of Holutiah's power, God knows how powerful that city really is. Even one Melia would be enough to hunt them down like a lost dog, if there were three or four enemies of Melia's level...... I can't imagine!
"That's right, the secret department. Lin Qiu nodded.
Although he has not yet discovered any hidden and 'necessary evil' departments hidden in the imperial capital, he believes that behind any huge force, there is a department that executes the killing order. The dark part of Konoha Village and the CP9 in One Piece are the best examples, and the honor of Bab and Zultan is definitely the target of that department.
"Believe me, the people of the sixth group of serious crimes are everywhere. β
"Then how should we deal with it?" the lion king Bibab humbly asked Lin Qiu for advice.
"Don't say a word, don't do anything, just go back with me silently. Lin Qiu quickly came up with a plan.
Alyssa's manor should be safe enough to accommodate so many monsters, and when he returns home, he only needs to tell Alyssa what the Musa Consortium has done behind his back, and he believes that Alyssa, who has a strong sense of justice, will definitely help these monsters and severely punish the outlaws of the Musa Consortium.
At that time, he only needs to use the power of the church to watch a good show on the sidelines.
......
Everything is well organized.
At least that's what Lin Qiu thinks.
However, before he got out of the slums of the imperial capital, everyone's eyes were hotly focused on this line of uninvited guests, most of the people present were in rags, some of the thin people faintly showed traces of being whipped between the tattered sleeves of the thin people, and the expressions of the poor people were different, some were frightened, and some were gloating.
"What are you looking at, I haven't seen a plumber!" Under a lot of pressure, Lin Qiu asked everyone dissatisfied.
He felt that this explanation was very reasonable.
During the cold winter months, it is inevitable that there will be problems with the drainage pipes in the city, so plumbers are always busy during this season.
The paupers ignored him and began to talk to themselves.
Ella stepped forward and stood on tiptoe and whispered, "The people over there are the snakes of the land, and the people who are abused are the poor people they have captured. β
It is difficult for the weak to survive here, and usually they starve to death on the streets, but since the growth of certain forces, they have attracted these homeless people, fed them the cheapest food, and taught them the art of stealing. After completing their studies, these people had to offer the stolen money at regular intervals every day.
"Those few should have been beaten because they couldn't pay the money. Ella gestured to a few crumbling paupers.
Among them are men and women, as well as old people and children.
These people usually disguise themselves as beggars and wait for an opportunity to find a target. Once some novices are caught stealing, they will inevitably be beaten, and many of them will be beaten to death. Ella had become accustomed to this, and it was as common in the slums as eating and drinking.
Another characteristic of slums is xenophobia.
If outsiders come here alone, if they don't have any skills, the end is often very bleak.
"You're not a plumber, you're Tyr Cyrus, the popular candidate for the Knights of the Round Table. As a man in a hat passed them, he whispered, "I may be interested in your information, and if you do, come with me." β
With that, he walked head-down into the water and disappeared around one of the corners.
"It's a residential area over there, and the poor people live there, and that person should be an intelligence peddler. Ella said.
She's not the only information dealer here, and there are many other people who make a living from it. People in this business are extremely cautious, and they only "do business" with people when they are sure to do so. As the saying goes, there is competition in the industry from intelligence traffickers, and if the news they leak is heard by competitors, it will disrupt the business at least and cause death at worst.
In short, it is also a dangerous industry.
Or if you want to survive in the most chaotic and harsh part of this imperial capital, nothing is not dangerous.
"Go and hear it, it doesn't hurt. β
Ella suggested.
