Chapter 43: "Waiting for the Rabbit"

Following the repeated detours ahead, trying to get rid of Daniz, Angel finally made her third return to the docks before the last rays of sunset on the sea disappeared, and met her target: the contact point of the Golden Dream in the rows of warehouses.

It seems that no matter how good this guy's anti-tracking skills are, he can't compete with the "stealth" ability...... Angel thought to herself, sneaking up to the window of the contact point and listening carefully to the conversation inside.

"Old fellow, have anyone else come to the point of contact lately?"

The voice of "Flame" was no longer humble and cautious on the White Onyx, but with an involuntary smell of provocation, which made Angel more and more sure of his potion pathways.

"A few people have finished their annual leave and are going to return to the ship, they are all waiting in Baiam, and in about ten days, the captain will return to the vicinity of the Blue Mountain Island, are you also going to board the ship at that time?"

Another old voice replied.

"Perhaps, you wait for the next fixed contact time and tell the 'Golden Dream' that Byam has two powerful adventurers, crazy, savage, not afraid of the rules of the sea, and even provoked the Storm Church......"

Danitz described Angel and Klein's appearance in detail, and then continued:

"Old Lynn, I'll come back at this time the day after tomorrow, you tell me the contact results...... By the way, let the rest of the crew pay attention, don't go to Bansey Island recently, something is very wrong there. ”

At this, his voice became deep, as if he remembered a night of horror again.

"When did 'Blaze' become so timid? Let the 'Flower Bow Tie' know that it's going to be a joke for a whole month, unless you treat me to a drink." ”

Liaison Old Lynn replied with a smile.

"Not today, I'm going to find a suitable place to sleep well, next time."

Danitz said perfunctorily, and politely declined old Lynn's suggestion of a place to live, pushed open the door, looked left and right, and left in the other direction.

Angel didn't intend to follow the other party any longer, but glanced into the door of the contact point that had not yet been closed, and the gray hair and wrinkled face of "Old Lynn" came into view, and behind her was a room dressed like a normal house.

It appears that he disguised himself as a local resident, picking up the crew of the Golden Dream at the docks and liaising with their captain on his behalf...... I just don't know how to use it.

She wanted to stay and continue to see, or use questioning, channeling, etc. to get information, but this trip was only to find this contact point, not to make enemies with the "Golden Dream" and "Lieutenant General Iceberg", so she thought about it for a while and gave up.

Anyway, Daniz will come over the day after tomorrow, so you can get more information by squatting in advance then...... She thought in her heart, watched as Old Lynn withdrew her gaze from Daniz's back and slowly closed the door.

————

Leaving the dock and removing her stealth, she did not immediately return to the meeting point agreed with Klein, but followed the signs on the side of the road to make her way towards Pelican Street.

She was going to get in touch with Dominic, who had already arrived in Byam a few months ago, and who had been a member of MI9 for so long that he must be familiar with the local underground trading market and the gathering of the extraordinary.

As the fulcrum of the Kingdom of Rune in the Central Sunian Sea Colony, the "City of Generosity" Byam is the largest city in the Rorsted Islands, of course, it also gathers the most wealth, the most extraordinary, most of the extraordinary materials and even magical items will be traded here, plus far away from the northern continent, lack of supervision, the city's underground market may be more prosperous than Beckland.

Because it wasn't too far from the pier, she didn't take a hired carriage and walked to Pelican Street, about a kilometer away.

At night, the streets are lit up with gas lamps, giving the city a night view as beautiful as the big cities of the Northern Continent, and looking along the rising altitude of the Blue Mountain Island towards the city center, you can see luxury villas lit up and horse-drawn carriages shuttling through the lighted streets, indicating that Baiam's "nightlife" is about to begin.

It's no wonder that even though he was oppressed on the White Onyx, Daniz was obsessed with this "city of generosity...... Angel chuckled and walked through the clear flow of locals and Rune tourists towards the Sea & Flame bar.

Walking through the door, Angel was greeted by a noisy atmosphere and the strange smell of sweat and alcohol, and she carefully avoided the two drunks who used the open space in the center of the hall as a ring and duel with their fists, and approached the bar.

"What's the wine?"

She chose a cocktail of local fruit juice mixed with a variety of local fruits amid the bartender's strange look and recommendation, took a sip, and then continued:

"I'm looking for 'Lucky Nick', is he here?"

"There are three 'lucky Nicks' around here, one died last week and two are still alive, which one are you looking for?"

Surprisingly, the bartender did not answer that he didn't know, but gave multiple answers, leaving Angel very disappointed with Dominic's ability to name him.

"Short black hair, a little ......thin," she said, describing the other person's appearance, but suddenly it occurred to her that it might be common to disguise herself here, and changed her words, "...... The one who talks makes people want to hit him. ”

"It's him," the bartender suddenly realized, "that guy isn't here today, and you should be able to see him here the next afternoon." ”

Dominic can't just find a serious job and only have time to hang out at the bar on Sundays, right? What about his sonya?

Thinking a little frustrated, Angel paid 8 pence for the juice wine, drank the sweet and sour wine in a few sips, and left the bar.

On the short way out of the bar, she noticed that many drinkers were staring at her, some of them winced and withdrew their gaze when she looked back, some of them looked up and down unceremoniously, and even showed some indecent expressions, and a middle-aged man with dark blue hair and rough facial features even stared at her blankly, obviously bewildered by her outstanding appearance.

She also compared the faces in the bar with the pirate wanted notices worth more than a thousand pounds in her head, and found no matching number.

Those few hundred pound little pirates, she didn't even bother to remember.

As for the fact that he has been put on a reward of 6,000 pounds, Angel doesn't care too much, there is no portrait of her on the wanted warrant found at the dock before, just by the color of her hair and pupils, in a port city like Byam with a population of hundreds of thousands, it is estimated that there are so many on every street, and there is no way to find people with this.

Moreover, she also fine-tuned her appearance with the extraordinary characteristics of the "Faceling", and changed her appearance strengthened by several potions back to Tingen's "Assassin" self, except for people like Klein who witnessed her step-by-step changes, even if they met her on the White Onyx, Donna, Erlan and others again, they would wonder if they were Angel herself or one of her sisters.

Seeing that there was no moving vault in the bar, she pushed open the door in disappointment and walked out.

……

When the tall blonde woman left the bar, Alger Wilson drank the "Zarha" in front of him in one gulp, leaned over to the bar, and asked in a low voice:

"Who was that woman looking for?"

He tossed a five-pence coin, which the bartender waved and put into his pocket, and replied with a chuckle:

"'Lucky Nick'."

"Which? That Nick who died last week? ”

Alger also fell into Nick's trap, hating the way the Byam pirates, sailors, and intelligence traffickers got their names.

"No, it's the one who sells intelligence, and now there are only two 'lucky Nicks' here, guess which one will be the luckiest?"

Instead of responding to the bartender's sneer, Alger turned back to his table, thinking to himself.

"Lucky Nick", Dominic, is an intelligence dealer who came to Byam from Rune three months ago and quickly made a name for himself in the city. It is said that he was originally a member of the military, but because he got into trouble with the wrong guys, he could only go into exile and start a new business in Baiam.

Alger himself has dealt with the other party several times, some on behalf of the Storm Church, and some when he buys and sells things privately, through communication, he vaguely understands that the other party is provoking someone from the "Witch Sect", although the latter is a secret sect, but has its own stronghold in almost every city in the Kingdom of Rune, and almost killed Dominic several times, forcing him to leave his homeland.

"If another woman came to Dominic, I might think someone from the Witch Sect came to the door, maybe they would sell the information to themselves, maybe they would have asked the substitutes to wait for the rabbit, but ......"

He muttered to himself, recalling the face of the blonde woman he had just seen, matching her physical description with a report he had asked an informant to investigate.

"Queen" Angel Granger, who once belonged to the "Night Watchman" in Tingen, died in the fight against the descendants of the "True Creator", but was resurrected by the power of Mr. Fool, and the members of the "Tarot Society" actually came to Byam!
