Wren agreed to Augusto's terms. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After Ogudo told him the information about the sword boy,
Wren began to prepare for the rescue of the children in the thieves' den.
However, it just so happened that the Dragon Eagle and the mercenary members were taken by Mr. Hovdent to transport the goods.
It will take about two weeks for them to return.
In order to recruit Ogudo as soon as possible, and to avoid long nights and dreams,
Ogudo's conditions have changed, and Wren decides to get the matter sorted out as soon as possible.
Now he only had a bag of gold coins on him, and because he had spent some of them, he probably had more than seventy gold coins left.
The armor and sword used in battle were placed on the Dragon Eagle, and now he was wearing only an ordinary sailor's suit,
There is also a dagger for self-defense.
Such an equipment situation is enough to deal with a dozen ordinary gangsters.
If the other side has a fully trained armed man, it may be difficult to deal with three or five.
If he were to fight head-on, he would need a sword and a shield, and at the very least, a dagger.
But if it's going to be stealth, he's just right now.
Since Wren didn't have an idea of what kind of battle would be fought, he first had to find the sword boy to understand the situation of the thieves.
The young man was named Plando, and he was often found on the pier and the market next to it.
During the day, he would crouch in one of the areas, and when he saw someone who was suitable, he would strike.
When you succeed, you will switch to another area and continue to crouch.
Today, however, it was impossible to go to the young Planto, who said that he might be locked up and beaten severely.
Otherwise, he would have come to the appointment to learn the sword from Ogudo.
After dinner and returning to the hotel, Rennes, who couldn't sleep, went to [Conch House] again.
He wanted to inquire about the bandits, even if it was just the name of the bandit leader or something.
It's better than not daring to do anything at night and sleeping with your head covered.
After inquiring, it can be regarded as a bit of gain.
I know that in the [Ruby Harbor], there is only one group of thieves, called the [Wind Collecting Group].
The boss of the [Wind Picking Group] is an old gangster of [Ruby Harbor], named Jimro.
He had a relative who was the clerk of the Harbor Sheriff, so the foreign thieves couldn't compete with him for territory.
Whoever doesn't grab his territory with a long eye, he will report the unlucky guy to the people of the security team,
Naturally, someone will clean up those who don't have long eyes.
Wren only heard about it, and as for more information, he had to wait until he found little Plando to ask for clarification.
......
Barely slept all night, Wren got up early in the morning.
After washing himself in a clay pot containing water, he left the hotel.
Enjoying the fresh sea breeze in the morning, Rennes went to [Conch House] for breakfast,
That's when they hung out on the docks.
Due to the early hours, there are not many pedestrians walking around the pier.
In order to hide his eyes, he visited the shop on the pier from time to time, and packed some bags when he passed by the preserved fruit shop.
The docks had already been walked back and forth twice, but little Plando was not found.
Wren turned to the market near the pier.
At this time, there were already more people in the market, and Wren didn't have to hide his eyes, so he followed the crowd and walked around.
Just when he thought that little Plando was not squatting in the bazaar, a familiar little figure appeared.
He curled up at the mouth of a dark alley, looking like a sleeping beggar,
But in fact, his eyes, hidden under his hair, were like eagle eyes searching for prey.
Seeing that there were other people in the alley who seemed to be his gang, Wren did not rush over to talk to little Plando.
He hid by the wall and sat on a stone bench for tired passers-by.
While eating preserved fruits, he casually looked at the passers-by around him.
Wren's attention was actually on the alley where little Plando was hiding, and he was waiting for the opportunity for little Plando to be alone.
As the sun rises, so does the temperature on the streets.
The preserved fruits I bought had been almost eaten, but I still didn't see any reaction from the few people in the alley.
It seems that the patience of the gang is quite good, and Wren no longer continues to sit on the stool.
He found a stall at random, picked up the goods on the stall and asked the boss for the price.
Disguise yourself as a shopping guest.
After Wren changed stalls three times, little Plando finally moved.
He seems to have taken a fancy to a guest who is haggling with his boss.
Little Plando limped over to the guest, and while the guest was concentrating on bargaining,
Reach out and take a light scoop, then hide the object in your arms.
Continue to limp along.
Looking at the direction of little Plando was about to leave the bazaar, Wren left early from another way,
and went around to the front of the road leading to the pier in Little Plando.
Soon little Plando limped towards Wren.
He didn't remember Wren anymore and continued to walk intently.
At the moment when he staggered past Wren, Wren said in a voice that could only be heard by little Plando, "Monsieur Ogudo asked me to come to you." ”
Little Plando heard this, and his body paused visibly, but he still kept his position and moved forward.
Just when Wren thought he was going to leave without saying a word, he sat down against the wall.
Little Plando, disguised as a begging beggar, looked in the opposite direction of Wren without squinting, and then whispered, "It's not convenient to talk here." You wait for me in the alley behind me, and I'll go around and look for you. ”
With that, little Plando stood up with difficulty against the wall, and then limped out of the alley.
Wren walked down the alley to the junction that led to the next alley, and then went around inside.
After waiting there for ten minutes, little Plando was seen limping away.
At this time, Wren had to carefully observe the situation of little Plando.
He had more injuries all over his body than he had seen the day before yesterday, the whip wounds on his hands were new, and there were bruises on his face in many places.
Wren also noticed that little Plando's hands were kept clean, despite being scarred.
Except for the marks of catching a feral cat, no other scars were visible on his hands.
I thought his foot was also lame, but after seeing that there was no one else, little Plando stood up straight and asked:
"Please apologize to Mr. Ogudo on my behalf. I was locked up in the house yesterday and couldn't get out. I'll look for a chance to get over today. ”
"Mr. Ogudo knows about you, and he doesn't blame you. "Wren first reassured little Plando,
Then he explained: "Mr. Ogudo asked me to come to you to learn some information about your group of thieves. ”
"Do you know the information about our [Wind Gathering Group]?" asked little Plando suspiciously, and the eagle-like eyes began to look at Wren suspiciously.
"But Mr. Ogudo must know a lot about the [Wind Gathering Group].
The bosses of the regiment have all dealt with Mr. Ogudo. ”
"The specific thing is not clear in one or two sentences. How long can you talk here?" Wren didn't rush to explain.
"Three or five minutes. They're going to come in and get me. Although Prundo Jr. was suspicious of Wren, he answered the question very frankly.
"Is it convenient for you to go out at night, or when is it convenient to talk to the local chief?" Wren asked.
Little Plando thought for a moment and replied, "Not at night." I can sneak out for lunch later.
It's probably about twelve o'clock, and it's still here. ”
"Okay!!" Wren nodded, and stopped talking to little Plando, and hurried out of the alley.
......
At lunchtime, Wren waited in the alley on time.
It was about fifteen minutes before little Plando arrived in a hurry.
He told Wren that he had a maximum of twenty minutes and that he had to rush back after that.
Wren also went straight to the point and told little Plando about rescuing the children in the thief group.
After knowing that this was what Mr. Augusto meant, Plando Jr. cooperated very well to tell Wren some important information about the thieves.
Then, twenty minutes before they arrived, they hurried back again.
With the information provided by Plando Jr., Wren was finally able to make a rescue plan.
The most powerful person in the [Wind Picking Group] is the boss Jimro, who has reached the sixth level of warriors in the realm, and is a very powerful guy.
There are three bosses under him, each of whom has reached the third level of warrior or above.
There are more than 1,000 old members in the entire [Wind Collecting Group] and more than a dozen strongholds.
Most of the old members are ordinary gangsters, and there are less than 100 people who have actually reached the level of warriors.
Every year, many children are brought to the base for training, and these children are not yet full members.
They were taken by the veteran members to complete the targeted theft mission before they were allowed to join the group as newcomers.
Those who are not qualified will have a few fingers chopped off and thrown into the field to fend for themselves.
The targets of Wren's rescue are the children who are still being trained.
