Chapter Twenty-Six: The Ebony Society
"Why, you know the Red Label Gang?"
Sensing that there was something wrong with Wren's expression, Nan Zhuo asked in a low voice.
"Why don't you know!"
Wren's expression was a little hideous, and he lowered his voice and said:
"Thanks to these scoundrels, I almost died at their hands, and I was thrown into the wilderness to feed the gnolls!"
Although the original body is a holy warrior who has made an oath of protection, he has been in the military camp outside the town of Van Lin for a long time, fighting against dangerous creatures such as gnolls in the wilderness with his companions and teammates. But the town's notorious Red Label helps him know a little.
The Red Label is a standard evil gang where the town's bullies and thugs, led by the gang leader, quietly take control of the town.
But even so, the townspeople don't know who the leader of the Red Label Gang really is, only that he has the nickname "Pale Claw", but nothing else.
However, when it came to the Red Label Gang, there was a trace of doubt in Wren's heart.
Unlike the original owner, who has barely left the town, Wren has a broader vision and a more comprehensive thinking.
What he wondered was that as an underworld force in a small town, according to normal logic, what the Red Label Gang should do was to extort the residents of the town, instead of dividing a part of the people to occupy the Vandalin Mine.
No matter how abandoned the Van Dahlin Mine is, after the death of Highless Black Flame in battle, it will be taken back by the Bauhinia Mining Association, and it is not a small local gang that can get involved.
After listening to Wren's description of the Red Label Gang, Nan Zhuo's thick eyebrows furrowed.
Obviously, he also sensed the strangeness of it.
"That's right," Nan Zhuo patted his head and said, "I remember, in order to persuade me to join them, that Zhuo Er also told me that they are just affiliated gangs under the Ebony Society, and some of them are powerful people, so I am advised not to think that someone will come to save me, and to be aware of current affairs." β
The dwarf paused, and his words grew smug.
"It's a pity she forgot that dwarves are sometimes stubborn, but they are harder than granite! If I don't do a good job, I won't join the gang until my head is pumped! β
Ebony will?
Wren suddenly realized.
Come to think of it, how can a small gangster, who doesn't even have a level 10 professional in it, have the ability to get such a terrifying thing as "Cayvos Maggot"?
But if the Red Label is just an affiliate of an evil organization, then it all makes sense.
Wormwalkers need a lot of sacrifices to gather strength if they want to break the seal, and obviously, the common people are the best target.
"Do you know the specific situation of the Ebony Society, Uncle Nanzhuo?" While asking, Wren took the glass test tube containing the "Maggot of Kevos" out of the dimensional bag, "Also, do you know what this thing is?" β
Although he knew what was in his hand, he couldn't tell anyone else.
The reason is also very simple, he can't say that he has seen it in the future, so he knows how evil it is.
The world of Erathia does have time-travelers, and as far as he knows, many dragon lords who have advanced from xenosaurs fall into this category, but in the end, they are also visitors from the other world, just like the original elves.
But there is no one who has traveled from the future to the past......
"It's all said, don't call me uncle!" Nan Zhuo said depressedly, then looked at the green worm in the glass test tube, and after a long while, he shook his head, "It's the first time I've heard the name Ebony Society, this worm ...... Tsk, why do I have a faint palpitation just staring at it? But I really haven't seen this disgusting thing before. β
Glancing at Wren's expression, Nan Zhuo said again:
"You kid want to inquire about the specifics of the two?"
Wren nodded and said solemnly:
"As a holy warrior, how can I know the truth of evil but not purify it, naturally I want to reunite their family in a neat and tidy manner."
"Good boy, your personality is quite to my liking!"
Nan Zhuo nodded approvingly, hesitated slightly, and finally gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay, the dwarves will repay their kindness, for the sake of your boy who saved my life, I will show this face and find someone to help you inquire about the origin of the two."
He glanced at the test tube in Wren's hand, subconsciously shrunk his neck, and continued:
"However, I look at this thing in my heart, so I'd better stay with you. I'll help you find out about the Ebony Society, and then I'll help you ask about this. Hmph, if I didn't have to stay in the Vandalin Pits, I'd be going to trouble those guys! These bastards, do you really think that dwarves are short and easy to bully? β
The two men said as they walked out of the prayer room, which had been temporarily converted into a cell.
Walking to the main hall of the temple, Nan Zhuo saw at a glance the traces of fierce battles in the main hall, the corpses of Neznar and several bear goblins on the floor.
In surprise, he raised his eyebrows at Wren and said in surprise:
"I'm too distracted, I didn't expect you kid to be so good at fighting, and kill that Drow and her escorts!"
Dry down...... What kind of tiger and wolf words are these......
Wren was speechless and pointed to the corpse of the gray dwarf brother not far away, and said:
"Really speaking, it's these two who have made a lot of efforts, according to the Eastern country, I'm just a sandpiper and a clam fighting, and the fisherman profits."
Following Wren's fingers, Nan Zhuo saw the corpses of the two, and his face suddenly became happy.
He walked up quickly, only to see that the two gray dwarves were left with only single clothes left, and all their weapons and armor were gone.
"This kid is a good hand at looting......"
The dwarf muttered, and raised his foot to kick the gray dwarf's corpse.
"Dare to chase me, you deserve to have today!"
After venting his anger, Nan Zhuo walked up to Wren and said:
"What's next for you?"
"My house was taken away by my uncle and the Red Label Gang, so naturally I have to go back to Fanlin Town to settle an account with them, and it's best to let them spit out to me even with interest!"
Wren said without hesitation.
This is the original AndrΓ© Wren's wish, and it will naturally be fulfilled.
At the same time, he also wants to squeeze more information about the "Ebony Society" and the "Maggots of Kevos" from the mouths of this group of scum scourges.
"It just so happens that I'm going to go back to the town to explain the situation of the pit to Mayor Gandren, and then report the matter of the underpass to the top, so as to prevent it from happening. Otherwise, one day, when the Drow army rushes out from inside, the town of Van Lin will suffer. β
Nan Zhuo said his intentions.
However, when the two climbed up the pit, they realized that it was late at night outside.
In desperation, Wren had no choice but to take Nan Zhuo to the temporary camp left behind by the gray dwarf brothers, and made do with it for the night.
Nothing was said all night.
At dawn the next day, the two of them left the Vandalin pit and rushed towards Van Lin Town.
At the moment of leaving the Van Dahlin Pit, Wren's brow furrowed slightly, and then quickly relaxed.
"The Trial of Vengeance is complete!"
"You're officially one of the Vengeful Paladins!"
Wren's hands clenched slightly.
From this moment on, in this world, he, a visitor from another world, finally has a faint trace of self-preservation!
However, this is obviously not enough......
A few hours later, when the two of them climbed a hill and walked about three kilometers away from the town of Van Lin, a loud birdsong suddenly came from the sky.
Wren looked up and saw a gray shadow flying down from above like a sharp arrow.
