Bai Yi picks up the chapter: the joint of the back alley
The Wessam team's resounding victory on the second day of the Butt City tournament was a rejoicing for all, and such an overwhelming victory was a must-have post-match party. Overseer Hasrab, who was about to bubble up with snot bubbles, shouted loudly for the whole team, except for the accompanying slaves, to go to the best entertainment hall in Barth City to celebrate. Of course, it will definitely not be out of his own pocket, and the legitimate celebration expenses of the team are reimbursed by the official treasury of Vowsam.
Zhang Long hurriedly reported the battle situation to Esenhard with a communication scroll while changing clothes, and the reply was sent almost instantly, obviously, the next task is quite important: "I am very relieved to win the team battle! There is still a week before the next event, Haishan will take you to complete an important task, which is related to our future and great cause, and you must not disgrace your mission!"
Uh, it turns out that everything is in the boss's calculations...... Zhang Long was greatly moved, changed into his robe, went back to the room and briefly explained a few words to Suina, and then got into the carriage with everyone and rushed to the "high-end hall" in the central area of Butt City for a banquet.
Alas, this place is really poor...... Compared to Vowsam's "Paradise Lost", Barth's most high-end entertainment venue is nothing more than a dirt bun: it is nothing more than an ordinary-looking wooden two-story building, decorated and furnished to the same standard as Walsam's third-rate taverns, and the barmaids who shuttle between the corridors and halls are also extremely vulgar and vulgar, wearing extremely revealing but dirty coarse cloth dresses, and the only makeup on their faces is abrupt and gaudy lipstick. If this level were in Wasam, I am afraid that only the most humble people in the market would spend a few copper plates to benefit them, but in Barth City, it is already quite popular.
"Hahaha, let's get drunk today!" Seeing that the food and drinks were all served, the carried away Hasrab took the lead in speaking, and everyone was also in a very good mood, and then pushed the cup and changed it. To be honest, the level of food at this banquet was not very high, but after all, the joyful atmosphere of the victory was there, and everyone ate quite happily. After three rounds of drinking, Haslaber, who was very familiar with Bart City, snapped his fingers, and whispered a few words to the escort girl who was waiting beside her, and the woman twisted her ass with a smile and turned out, and after a while, she brought in with seven or eight miscellaneous slaves carrying a tattered wooden box that was not good-looking, Hasrab nodded and laughed, and stood high in his chair with the strength of wine, and said loudly, "Brothers, this overseer knows that Bart City is not good for wine, food, or girls, but this is definitely the best in the whole of Candras!"
Everyone's attention was all drawn to the past, and the overseer's subordinates understood what was going on, and several senior veterans were already drooling. Hasrab jumped out of his chair and snapped open the box: "Opium of the finest!"
"Yay!" The soldiers cheered in unison, and Hasrab grabbed a few cigarette cartridges and handed them out, and continued: "The gladiator brothers of the 'League of Fighters' are not allowed to smoke opium, and this overseer has specially prepared authentic Naland tobacco for you!
When the gladiators heard this, their eyes turned green: This is a high-end product that only the wealthy and nobles can afford, and it is not known how many levels better than the inferior local cigarettes that can only be smoked a few puffs when they are rewarded in the training ground! Everyone was very happy, and they hula surrounded them, like a treasure to take back the cigarette holder and the small linen bag that belonged to them. After a while, the whole room was filled with smoke, the smell of opium and tobacco was mixed together, and Zhang Long, the "Five Good Youths of the New Era", who was choking and laughing, coughed repeatedly.
"Don't tell me, you can't even smoke!" Ha Shan said in a low voice, as she walked around behind him at some point. Zhang Long was taken aback and looked back, only to see that Hai Shan didn't light a cigarette, but stared at him mysteriously and said, "Put away the tobacco and go out with me." 」
Zhang Long was immediately awe-struck, taking advantage of the smoky miasma and drunkenness in the hall, he followed Haishan quietly through the side door and turned into a dark corner in the corridor outside. Only then did Hai Shan breathe a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice: "The task for a while, don't tell anyone, otherwise don't say it's the two of us, even Esenhard, maybe you have to lose your head!"
"What, it's so dangerous?" Zhang Long, who was already slightly drunk, woke up most of the time, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Hai Shan's rare look nodded solemnly: "Yes. In a moment, we will be dealing with the biggest criminal syndicate in the entire Saint Shuare!"
"Huh?" Zhang Long's eyes widened, "Why ......?"
"You'll find out later. Ha Shan said mysteriously, leading him quietly out of the back door of the guild hall, turning into a dark, damp, and smelly back alley. The sour smell of garbage on the floor made Zhang Long feel sick to his stomach, but Hai Shan looked around vigilantly, only to see that in those dirty garbage heaps, there were actually a large number of beggars and homeless people!
Haishan nodded with satisfaction, took out a few shiny gold coins from her sleeve, held them high in front of the beggars, and said a few words of Kakistan in a majestic tone. The beggars looked at each other with extremely confused expressions.
In Zhang Long's stunned eyes, Hai Shan frowned and repeated in a deeper but louder tone. The beggars shook their heads, and some of them turned away in disappointment, but the old man who had been standing at the end finally straightened his waist slowly, strode forward and stretched out his hand, and replied in a deep voice.
"Light bless you, my friend. Only then did Hai Shan let go of her frowning brow and handed the gold coin to the old man's hand. The old man happily took it, and after smiling secretly, he resumed his hunched posture and paced out of the alley step by step.
"Just now...... Password?" Zhang Long seemed to see something, and asked tentatively.
"Hmm...... The slang of the underworld of Kurast," Hassana whispered, "Let's go. 」
Zhang Long silently followed the Donglu man out of the back alley and came to the bustling city center square. After all, they have been in the limelight in the arena for the past two days, and they can be regarded as public figures, seeing so many people, Zhang Long couldn't help but be a little worried, and just wanted to buckle the hood of his robe but was stopped by Haishan.
"No, the next thing is to be recognized!" Hassana shook her head, and then strode into the crowd. The citizens and the soldiers maintaining law and order in the square quickly recognized the two celebrity guests, and they surrounded them with a hula, and the two were instantly surrounded by all kinds of exclamations and praise. This kind of courtesy, Zhang Long actually felt very useful in a moment: if he was in the world before he traveled through, I am afraid that he would be asked to sign autographs and ask for a group photo......
A warm hand suddenly stretched out from the cheering crowd, and held Haishan's arm with moderate strength and no sense of disobedience, and then came an invitation in a very polite tone, but not to be shirked: "Two heroes, please go to the Humble House for a few drinks no matter what!"
The owner of the voice is a man with a public face who is dressed ordinarily but decently, and Zhang Long can't help but sigh with great emotion: This guy actually has a more public face than himself...... If you fall into the pile, even if you have a sharp eye, you can't find it! Hai Shan put up a smile in time and said, "Then we might as well obey our fate with respect...... and turned his head to Zhang Long, who was still a little flustered. Zhang Long quickly came back to his senses and followed step by step, it seems that this guy is the connector they are waiting for...... What is the origin of that so-called criminal syndicate, and what is the purpose of Isenhard's desire to contact them?
