Chapter 13: Tracking the Juggernaut

Before dawn, Wren got out of bed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

After a brief freshening, he disguised himself as an ordinary sailor.

He followed the address of the old sailor, and asked the people who got up early to work all the way,

I came to the [Crimson Fish Street] of [Ruby Harbor].

Crimson Fish Street is a market that sells fish.

It's just that all the dead fish are sold here, and the smell is terrible, and there is blood water everywhere that slaughters dead fish.

From a slightly higher point it looks like a crimson fish.

The environment around Crimson Fish Street is very dilapidated and dirty, and this area is clearly a slum in Ruby Harbor.

Wren couldn't figure out what was the reason for a Juggernaut to live so down.

Or what is the reason why a Juggernaut likes to live in such a place.

The sky has already revealed the white of the fish's belly, but [Crimson Fish Street] is already lively.

The street is very dark because people don't light it much, and the stall owners are handling dead fish from the docks.

Customers are picking at the fish and meat that are on the shelves, and from time to time someone is haggling with the stall owner.

Wren resisted the urge to pinch his nose and reluctantly walked all the way down.

Most of the people in the fish market are ragged, yellow-skinned, and malnourished.

Such slums have been seen in every city Wren has visited.

In such a dilapidated and busy street market, it is not difficult to find Ogudo's home.

According to the old sailor's description, the Oguda is an ordinary two-story low building mixed with stone and wood.

The fish stall in front of the building has not been in operation for a long time.

Such a fish stall is easy to find in the Scarlet Fish Market Street, because only the fish stall of the Oguda family is not in operation.

From afar, you can see Ogudo tidying up the wooden cart in front of his fish stall.

The wooden cart was wet and bloody, but there was no cargo on it, probably disposed of.

Now Ogudo didn't carry his sword on his back, but was wearing ordinary civilian clothes.

Wren didn't just walk over to say hello, he was here to follow Ogudo today.

If Augusto's character is okay, Wren will consider pulling him to his ship.

After all, he is a sword saint-level master, and a boatload of people can't convince him, if this person has a problem with his mental skills,

It is undoubtedly a time bomb planted on the Dragon Eagle.

Pretending to pick up fish at the fish stall, Wren skimmed Ogudo from time to time to find out what he was doing.

And Ogudo just cleaned the wooden cart, and pushed it out of the fish street and went to the dock to transport the goods.

This work was not completed until near noon.

Then Ogudo pushed the wooden cart back to Fish Street, parked the wooden cart, and went into the house to put the long sword on his back.

I went out again and walked in the direction of the docks.

Wren has been cautiously following Ogudo to the [Conch House],

As soon as I pushed the door, I heard the cuckoo clock on the bar wall striking the time twelve.

Ordering something to eat, Wren sat down furthest from Augusto and ate it.

Like yesterday at noon, Ogudo finished drinking a glass of cheap fruit wine and left the [Conch House].

Wren dropped the unfinished food and hurriedly followed.

This time, instead of going in the direction of home, Ogudo headed towards the remote beach of the harbor.

There was a lot of garbage in that place, and the smell was not very good, and there were quite a few scavengers rummaging through the garbage heaps.

In addition to the scavengers, there are also three teenage children who are hitting each other with sticks.

It doesn't look like it's just messing around, it's like it's serious sword practice.

When the children saw Ogudo walking by, they hurriedly stopped attacking each other and stuck their sticks in the soft black and gray sand on the ground.

Then he stood straight towards Augusto.

"Hello master!" the children bowed together as they waited for Ogudo to get closer.

There are many garbage heaps on the beach, and Wren was able to take advantage of the garbage to get close and observe.

Ogudo looked left and right, and then asked, "Where did Xiaomu go?"

One of the children replied, "Master!" Xiaomu was dragged by his father to work. I can't come today. ā€

Ogudo nodded, letting the three children continue to practice while he gave directions.

After the children did what Ogudo asked for to chop and block, Ogudo let them practice alone,

He drew his sword and began to practice on his own.

Augusto's practice is not fancy, just a one-by-one drill of basic movements.

The long sword floated like a shadow, silently, and although it could be seen clearly, it did not feel slow.

Chop - the long sword is as precise as a machine, the cut is very steady, and the cut stops, never an inch.

The long sword rises close to the ground, like a thunderbird taking off, unstoppable.

Thorn - the long sword is as straight as a stretched thread, impartial, not trembling, and penetrates the sky and sea.

After the exercise, Ogudo put away his sword, took some dry food from his bosom and ate it, and then took his three children and started running around the beach.

He continued to do all kinds of exercises with the child until the evening, when Ogudo disbanded the child and left for the harbor with his sword on his back.

When I returned to the Conch House again, the cuckoo clock struck six times.

This time, Ogudo asked for a glass of wine and a curry and rice, and after eating the food and wine, he left the bar quietly.

This time he made a detour to the market, where he bought a small bag of flour and a bag of potatoes.

As he left the market, Wren noticed a fifteen-year-old boy secretly following Ogudo.

The boy wore a pair of fluffy canvas trousers and a tattered white vest.

The boy was very close to Mr. Ogudo, and tried to call Mr. Ogudo several times, but he stopped because of some scruples.

Wren, who followed behind, did not disturb them, and quietly continued to follow, intending to take a look at the follow-up development.

When he was about to reach [Crimson Fish Street], Ogudo stopped, turned to the boy's hiding place and said, "Come out!"

The boy hesitated, but at last he rose from behind the barrel, and strode over to Ogudo.

"What's the matter?" Ogudo stared at the boy with a pair of cold eagle eyes, and the boy was not afraid.

"Please, please teach me swordsmanship!" the young man was not good at speaking, and he stuttered a little.

Ogudo looked at the boy for a moment, and then asked, "Why do you want to learn swords?"

"Because, because I don't want to be bullied anymore. The boy replied loudly with his head held high.

Ogudo nodded, then turned around, and as he went, he turned his back to the boy and said, "Give you a day, go catch a cat with your bare hands, and wait for me here tomorrow at this time." ā€

The young man, who originally saw Ogudo turn around, looked a little lost, listened to Ogudo's words, and said excitedly: "Okay, okay! Master!"

Without objecting to the boy calling out to the master, Ogudo continued to walk his way, leaving the boy to continue to stand in place excitedly.

Wren pretended to be an ordinary passerby, passed by the young man, glanced at the other party, and then his heart could no longer be calm.

The boy had the resolute eyes of an eagle like Augusto.

But his bare muscles were covered with scars, marks of whipping, and direct burns from hot things.

There are also marks of sharp knife cuts.

What the hell did it take to leave so many scars on my body?

Suspicious, Wren continued to walk, and after entering [Crimson Fish Street], he continued to follow Ogudo.

When Ogudo got home, he replaced his sword and went out to push his little wooden cart back to work.

Wren followed one night and discovered that Agudo was just helping out with some bars and inns, carrying and dumping the day's business waste.

After the evening's work was done, Ogudo went straight home to rest.

After squatting for a while, Wren didn't see the time early, and ended today's follow-up investigation of Augusto.

Judging from the situation seen by the follow-up, Augusto's temperament is still very good, and his life is extremely regular.

Although poor, he is not the lazy person he imagined.

It's just that I'm not sure what the reason is for him in the Sword Saint realm to be willing to live such a dull life all the time.

Thinking back to the three teenagers practicing swords by the beach, and the teenagers I just saw,

Wren vaguely felt that Ogudo's life had something to do with them.

However, the more specific details could not be seen, and for the sake of safety, Wren decided to observe Ogudo again.

Perhaps today's boy who asks for sword learning will be an opportunity to learn more about Ogudo.

Thinking of this possibility, Wren remembered the place that Ogudo had agreed with the sword boy, so that he could wait here the next day.
