Chapter 471: Black Rose!
Killing was as common to Claire as eating and breathing, and the bloody battle with the orc Lung Gayo had made the thin slave child accustomed to blood and killing overnight.
After dealing with the ill-intentioned people who followed her, Claire didn't even do anything to cover up and hide the body, because there was no need for this in the dark street, this lawless place was full of dead people all the time, robbery, murder, abduction, and other crimes filled this dark corner, and no one would take the time to take a second look at a corpse on the ground.
Bypassing a street, Claire walked down the stairs to the underground passage below, although the location is remote, but this is the most lively place in the black street, many hotels, brothels, and casinos are concentrated here, and the drunks and homeless people are thrown out by the thugs in this underground passage, ordinary people must pay a tip of ten lien if they want to enter, because this rule does not have many idle people to come here, this underground passage with a large number of shops is a place with better security in the black street.
Handing it over to the doorkeeper Ten Lane, Claire walked straight down. Black Street is a relatively strange territory in the Free City, where even the security forces in the Free City are not interested in taking care of the affairs here, one is because the Black Street is in the lower district and will not threaten the safety of the wealthy people in the upper area, and the other is that the Black Street will also have a large amount of filial piety handed over to the security team every year to ensure that it can continue to survive, which is one of the reasons why Black Street can survive in the Free City for a long time.
The last time the security team concentrated on the black street to search for it was not long ago in order to arrest Claire, under the pressure of the upper giants, the city security team did not dare to perfunctory and sent a large number of personnel to conduct a comprehensive inventory of the black street, in fact, there was no need for the security team to do it, after Claire's bounty came out, the large and small gangs in the black street have been stimulated by the high amount of money to search the streets.
Of course, for the residents who are nearby outside the black street, this is a veritable purgatory. Robbery and murder are repeated every day, but for the bankrupt and penniless, the streets are the only place they can find in a free city. According to the rules of the Free City, anyone who can't afford to pay their taxes will be beaten as a slave, and escaping into the streets is the only way for these bankrupts to avoid becoming slaves, and of course, once they enter, they may never be able to step out of the streets.
Although the Black Street has been stored in such a strange way in the Free City, it has become the only place for Claire to blend in with the crowd.
Inside the underpass, Claire pushes open the door of a hotel. This store is only superficial in dealing with alcohol, but in fact this hotel is an intelligence trading station, and its owner is a well-known gang boss in this dark street, 'Intelligence Rat' Fenlishemon!
Although Claire has been living a low-key life in the underground waters, Claire has not stopped gathering news about the upper districts, especially about the great slave trader Philip and the arena champion Gelkit.
A previous chance allowed Claire to successfully connect with the biggest intelligence dealer in the black street, and under Claire's heavy offensive, Fenlishemon finally determined that Claire was not an undercover agent for the city security team or other gangs. The restrictions were gradually lifted and began to supply Claire with all kinds of news.
Intelligence is also an important resource in the free city, but this information is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, some small gang members at most will find out some market information in the lower districts and inside information between gangs, and the news of the big people in the upper district has always been the most difficult to get news, after all, the upper districts are places where only people with heads and faces can enter, not to mention those people in the black streets who may be thrown into the slave market if they go out and get caught, even some small nobles and small businessmen have not had the opportunity to step into that field。
There is no way to deal with the two 'intelligence rats' that Claire particularly wants to inquire about, one is one of the three giants of Free City. One is the eternal undefeated champion in the arena. Anyone who is a big man who kills himself as easily as strangling an ant to death, no matter how much money Claire gives, Fen Lisemen will not dare to blatantly let people collect information about the two. At most, it's just a bit of a sidekick.
After entering the hotel, Claire suddenly found that the atmosphere in the store was a little different today, there were no customers, even the waiters and bartenders who were doing their own things quietly, and they didn't dare to say anything.
"We didn't do business today, we'll come back in a few days. A bartender said as soon as he saw Claire.
"I'm here for rats. ”
Claire said a word, and the bartender naturally knew what it meant. For a moment, his face became a little embarrassed: "No, we don't do business today, hurry up." ”
"You're not an housekeeper┉┉"
"I said that there will be no business here today, and I will leave immediately. ”
Claire, who has been here a few times, is well aware of the rules of Fenrisemen, and on the surface, the bartenders and waiters in the hotel are all foreign staff, who are responsible for serving ordinary customers, and foreign staff are not qualified to receive special customers who want to buy information. At the first time, the foreign affairs personnel must immediately notify the internal affairs personnel to receive them, and if the foreign affairs personnel receive and make decisions privately, the end will be very miserable.
Today, Claire felt that something was wrong, when would a foreign affairs officer be able to manage the affairs of the internal affairs staff, Claire didn't want to argue, since she knew that there was an accident here in the 'intelligence rat', Claire didn't want to muddy the water so as not to get into trouble, and when she turned around and was about to leave, she suddenly came down from the second floor, a man wearing a black dress and a black mask that only showed the lower part of the nose, the bartender saw this man, and immediately lowered his head and stepped aside.
"Are you a guest from Fenresemen?" the man said to Claire without even looking at the bartender.
"No need, I'll leave now┉┉"
After saying that, Claire was ready to pull her legs and slip away, and it seemed that something big was going on here.
"Please wait!" The man in the black dress immediately spoke, "If you want to buy information, then please come here, there are some personnel changes in our store today, but business is still going on as usual." ”
Claire stopped and hesitated, to be honest, except for the Fenlishei Gate that happened to catch up on the line, Claire was already in a rootless duckweed situation in the free city in the dark street, and there was no connection at all that could help Claire catch up with another intelligence dealer. If you choose to leave now, then you will definitely break off the relationship with Fenrisemen completely.
Seeing Claire's appearance, the man made a gesture of please: "Don't worry, our host also hopes to get to know more guests to expand his network, and by the way, make our name known." If you pay enough for the information you want, I promise you won't be disappointed. ”
Claire thought for a moment, judging from the man's words, Fenlishemon was probably out of power, and the shop had fallen into the hands of another group of intelligence dealers. However, it doesn't matter who the intelligence trafficker is for Claire, as long as she can get the right information about Philips and Gelkate.
At the invitation of the other party, Claire chose to go upstairs, even if there was an emergency, Claire was not afraid, because she still had one of the biggest dependencies, the power of that mysterious gem was unstoppable by the urban protection circle of the entire free city, and the price of using the gem was at most to spend more time hiding in the waterway to recover her body.
When she went up to the second floor, Claire found that the second floor was full of people, on one side was a man who was also wearing a black dress and a mask, and on the other side was the former subordinates of Fenlishemun, but they all looked uncertain and a little scared. At this time, Claire also noticed one thing, the man in the black dress had a black rose-shaped emblem pinned to his chest.
In the next second, Claire's gaze was instantly attracted by a woman sitting in the center like a starry moon, this is a beautiful woman with an unusually bewitching and charming expression, wearing a pair of plump double mounds that protrude from her chest as if she can stretch her clothes apart, but the woman exudes a suffocating sense of oppression, although she doesn't look very old, her eyes seem to have seen through the world, full of vicissitudes.
"Relax, Mr. Misay, we are only having a few personnel changes here today, and it will not affect our business. ”
The name Misay is a pseudonym that Claire is now using, after all, Claire's wanted notice has not been revoked until now, and even if Claire's previous crimes are revoked, it is impossible to continue to use the original name.
"As long as I can get the information I need, it has nothing to do with me who is the owner here. Claire also immediately indicated her attitude.
The woman played with a gold coin in her hand and looked at Claire with a meaningful smile and said, "Then please let me introduce myself first, I am the owner of LeBlan! The owner of the Black Rose! From today onwards, I will also be the new boss of this information trading station, if Your Excellency the Mage still needs any information, please be sure to continue to appreciate it in the future." ”
"I said I want the information of the Big Three of Free City, can you get it too?"
"Of course!" LeBlanc replied confidently, "the aim of the Black Rose is to never disappoint the wealthy patrons! (To be continued......) R1292
