How much can a person know about the place where he lives? If you were born and raised here, how much can you know about every street, every building, every piece of masonry that is paved on the road? At least in the neighborhood he's visited, the kid who wanders the streets knows better than anyone about the city known as the Greylion King. The alleys, the main roads, the ever-changing streetscapes, and even the animals that live in them, the little sparrows know everything about it. If necessary, he could even speculate on whether the road had been recently walked by checking the excretion of stray animals in an alley.

So, when he heard that Shadow was going to deliver a letter to the cheese and them, Sparrow volunteered to keep up with the bartender. Perhaps thinking that this kind of mission was not dangerous, Shadow just smiled and said nothing after noticing Sparrow who was cautiously following him, fearing that he would be driven away by doing something wrong. Not to mention a child about something as mysterious and dangerous as magic, even Shadow himself has to admit that he is very curious about it.

Knowing from the boss that Cheese was now settled in the port area, he patted the pocket containing the information, and the shadow moved his joints. He turned to the little sparrow behind him.

"Hey, boy. Do you know the shortcut to the port area?"

Sparrow was stunned for a moment when he heard Shadow's words, as if he didn't realize why the killer of the royal capital was asking him such a question. But then the little sparrow realized that this was most likely some kind of assessment of himself. If you want to get a place in the underground world of the royal capital, then you must have some skills that others don't have. Thinking of this, Sparrow nodded sharply, then trotted two steps to a position or so in front of the shadow, and began to lead the way.

As for why Shadow did this, it was really as Sparrow thought, he was testing the kid. It's just that this test is naturally not to assess whether the little sparrow can become a qualified killer, and this child has not yet reached the age suitable for training. The purpose of this test is to realize that Cheese's actions will inevitably make the situation in the royal capital tense, and since the boss has already stated that he will stand with the wizard, then this kind of information transmission will not be too small in the future.

Considering that he doesn't always have time to perform this kind of task that he can't delegate to anyone else, who is obsessed with the magic of cheese, Sparrow becomes the best person to replace him as a liaison.

The little sparrow's background is very innocent, and it can be said that he basically grew up under the shadow eyelids. And the identity of the child will make most people unwary of him, so it is more convenient to carry information. The only thing to pay attention to is whether this child is familiar with the terrain of the royal capital, and his ability to react to unexpected situations.

The shadow who followed Sparrow thought that he could test his ability to recognize his way in this way, but how to test the little sparrow's ability to improvise? Recklessness and cowardice can sometimes be more fatal than lack of ability.

Shadow didn't expect him to have such an opportunity soon.

The time when the two of them came out of "Crimson Blood" was late in the afternoon. With Shadow's footsteps, he doesn't need to ride a horse, and he can walk much faster than a normal person, so it is not difficult for him to fulfill the promise that One-Eye promised Cheese to deliver information at dusk. And after walking for a while, Shadow also found that the little sparrow leading the way in front of him may really be able to fight with himself in terms of speed, plus the two of them continue to take shortcuts, this mission may be smoother than imagined.

Until, as a killer's instinct, tells Shadow that something isn't quite right

"Boy, we're being stalked. Pretending to be intimate, Shadow lowered her head and whispered in Sparrow's ear that someone who didn't know them might just see it as an interaction between a pair of brothers who were on good terms.

Hearing what the shadow said, the little sparrow's body stiffened, but soon the child returned to normal. For Sparrow, who grew up on the streets, being stalked is nothing new. Moreover, there was a powerful killer behind him, and Sparrow had seen the weak-looking bartender kill five grown men unscathed in a matter of breaths with a short dagger.

Somewhat pleased with Sparrow's reaction speed, Shadow doesn't really care about the guys who follow him. In this city, there are only a handful of people who have the courage to follow the shadow, and as for whether the other party will hire mercenaries from other regions, for the shadow, the tracker who is not familiar with the terrain is not worth caring about at all.

Soon, under a series of instructions from the shadow, the whereabouts of the two became as mysterious as ghosts, and many trails that only those who were extremely familiar with the area would know were fully utilized, since this mission was to transmit information, the shadow did not intend to waste time dealing with the stalker, he just wanted to get rid of the other party.

But many times things don't turn out the way one might expect. Even though Shadow had taken his anti-tracking skills to the extreme, even taking Sparrow over a few low walls that weren't too tall and crossing a building through a window, the feeling of being followed hadn't gone away. On the contrary, the kind of gaze that was stared at became clearer.

Some cold sweat began to break out on Shadow's forehead, not from the strenuous exercise. The other party's tracking skills are much better than Shadow thinks, and the other party's familiarity with the street doesn't seem to be below his own. This is interesting, the shadows of the people who can do this in Wang Duzhong can basically be named, but he can be sure that the guy behind him now is definitely not any of those people.

"Sparrow, listen, things may be a little different from what I thought. The guy behind us is a bit tricky and can't give away the wizard's dwelling to them. As he jumped over the eaves of a small two-story building, Shadow said to the little sparrow.

"What then, can't you even shake them off?" there was a shudder in Sparrow's voice, for this kid, a stalker more powerful than a shadow was something beyond his imagination.

"Don't be afraid, you're a brave child. I have a plan that we can use to shake off this annoying tail. The shadow's voice remained calm, "But this plan requires your cooperation, which means that you may have to act separately from me, understand?"

Perhaps feeling affirmed, or perhaps excited about an experience he had never had before, Sparrow nodded his head without giving it much thought that he was willing to cooperate with the shadow's plan. The two men were still moving at a high speed, but the direction they were moving began to gradually deviate from the location of the port area.
