"My name is Robert, the owner of this bar."
The skinny young man motioned to the young man to bring these guys who seemed to be guests, but when they looked at Mai's big smile, they felt like they were fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered - but in this unfamiliar place.
The place was helpless, so Lily and the others followed him honestly to a small room behind the bar. There were a lot of materials piled up in this small room of only fifteen square meters, which looked very crowded, but they were neatly stacked together.
There is also something written on it in the script used by the Skells. It is obvious that someone has specially compiled these things.
There is a map nailed to the wall opposite the door of the cabin. It looks like it should be the floor plan of Otez. The entire map is extremely detailed, with various parts of each area marked in various different handwritings, specially in gray.
The sewers drawn with blue dye are intertwined like a spider web, and even the city guard's defenses are clearly marked on it! This does not look like a civilian-level map at all. It is obviously drawn by hand and has been continuously modified.
The level of detail can even put residents who have lived in the city for a long time to shame.
Robert sat down at a small table under the map and motioned for Lily and others to take a seat. Lily noticed that Robert's right hand was strange, and the phalanges were twisted in strange shapes, as if someone had broken the joints.
, I felt a pain in my hand just looking at it. His left eye was also covered by two strips of cloth. If you look closely, you can easily see the empty eye socket behind it.
"Don't worry, I'm used to it." When he found that Lily had been looking at his hands and blind left eye, Robert did not get angry and said calmly, "Then, I can venture to ask, why do you need
Where’s the butcher’s information?”
"Our companions accidentally got into trouble..." Lily briefly told Robert what happened to the Dragon Spear, and Robert nodded thoughtfully, "If you mean that he was imprisoned in the city defense prison in the morning
According to the words of the Carreta man, he has now been acquitted."
Huh? Lily looked at Robert with wide eyes - how did he know?
Robert shrugged and said nonchalantly: "Don't forget what we do. We can learn about major events in the city immediately. However, the whereabouts of the butcher is one of the few secrets that are not under our control.
According to the information we have received, every time the Butcher appears, he usually chooses to do so at night, when the sea fog spreads into the city. It is too bizarre to commit the crime during the day, and it is very likely that it was not the Butcher himself - at what time
After The Butcher appeared years ago, many people who had a grudge against pirates pretended to be Butchers and committed murders, but they were basically caught by the city defense forces. Only The Butcher himself has not been caught from the time he appeared until now.
Live, sometimes I even wonder if they are really living humans."
Lily rolled her eyes and remembered the legend of a murderer circulating in London, England. Similar to a butcher, he specifically selected prostitutes as his targets and was never caught.
"It always sounds like Jack the Ripper..." Lily nodded thoughtfully, "Does that mean you don't have any useful information here?"
Robert did not answer, but took out a stack of parchment, which seemed to have recorded some words about the butcher: "All the information we have about the butcher is here. Although I have already screened it, but here it is
There are still a lot of exaggerations.”
Robert handed the parchment to Lily, who read the information carefully. The information on Dead Water was indeed very detailed, recording the circumstances of every crime scene that could be judged to be the butcher himself, including the identity of the deceased.
The time of death, who he had seen before his death, his past life and experiences, etc. were all summarized in detail. Lily soon noticed a word that often appeared in the life of the deceased...
"Black Shark Pirates... It seems that many of the dead are related to that pirate group. What did they do?" Lily roughly flipped through the records and found that at least 60% of the dead were related to the Black Shark. "The Butcher should be related to them.
Do you have a grudge?"
Robert hesitated and said, "I think so. Black Shark was once the largest pirate group around the Alton Territory. Not only did they run rampant on the sea, but they also ran the largest tavern, casino and black market in Otez City.
, even the lords at the time did not dare to confront them head-on. But not long after, the leader of Black Shark and his fleet died in a shipwreck. After the lord learned the news, he immediately confiscated most of Black Shark's properties.
Soon after, a butcher appeared who specialized in killing Black Shark pirates. But after all the Black Shark pirates fled to death, the Butcher targeted other pirates."
"Are all the Black Shark pirates dead? Are there any who are still alive?" Lily thought that if she asked the surviving Black Shark members, she might be able to get some clues about the Butcher - they must not know who wants to kill them, right?
Robert shook his head and said: "Unfortunately, if they are not dead, they are definitely no longer in Otez City. The scope of our backwater intelligence is only in Otez City, and we know very little about news from other places. News from other places.
Most of them I heard from outsiders in taverns and chambers of commerce.”
Lily pouted and muttered in a low voice: "What... I thought the intelligence sources here were so extensive... So, Otez City is so big, in which area do butchers generally operate?"
Robert pointed to the center of the map behind him and said to Lily: "Look, he has committed crimes in every other area except here."
Robert was pointing to the area where the city lord lived. It was heavily guarded and few people entered, let alone any pirates the butcher wanted to kill.
"If you don't choose to be a pirate, the butcher shouldn't have much to do with you, right?" Robert had a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes. "In comparison, I think what you should worry about is your companions.
.If our news is correct, you brought a group of slaves into the city today, right? What? Are you planning to sell them?"
"No, we hope to have someone escort them home." Fan on the side explained, "We rescued them from a group of slave-catching teams, but you know about...Hunter...What did Hunter do?
With?"
"Fla Hunter." Ethera said at the side. It seemed that her memory was indeed very good. At least Lily had completely forgotten the name of the leader of the slave-catching team.
"Fla Hunter?" Robert's eyes moved and he asked calmly, "Have you encountered him?"
"Yes, he is a madman." Fan was puzzled by Hunter's method of slaughtering the slaves in the end. "Because he found that he could not escape from us, he killed most of the slaves in his convoy. The ones we rescued
There were only children in the few cars we intercepted."
"Fla Hunter said that he is affiliated with the largest slave trader in Otez." Esera said in a low voice, "And he threatened us that his boss would prevent us from freely entering and exiting the Orton Territory."
Robert shook his head and sneered: "No, don't take those words to heart. Not to mention that a slave trader can't control the Auton Territory at all. The Hunter's boss also died a year ago. I'm afraid he also heard the news.
He came back from other places. Did you kill him?"
Lily recalled the scene where Kaz beat Hunter into a pie in the end, and couldn't help but shudder, and said to Robert: "He died, and he died miserably. But why was he so crazy that he wanted to kill those slaves?
"
Robert also looked very confused. He touched his chin and said hesitantly: "It's not surprising that a dying person will do anything, right? But why should the child you saved so much effort be given to another slave?
Where are the businessmen?”
"What?!" Everyone was shocked. Lily couldn't imagine that Dragon Spear would do such a dirty thing! She couldn't help but start to worry about Alison, who was acting with Dragon Spear. If she also
If they are sold together...
"I think your companion has been deceived." Robert's one eye emitted a strange light, "Although the merchant who comes into contact with your companion is an orc from the Fox tribe, he is actually a liquor dealer who ostensibly deals in liquor, a specialty of the orc empire.
A sinister guy who sells slaves in private. Every time more than half of the wine barrels he brings are slaves. If you want to make up for your mistake, I suggest you go find your companions quickly. Because usually at this time
He will all set off to return to the Orc Empire."
Lily nodded and immediately let the empty space on her shoulders go to find its owner. After paying the eighty-five copper coins for the consultation fee, the group immediately rushed to the hotel.
I have to say that Aesela's memory is really outstanding. Although she returned along the same route, she led everyone back to the hotel without any hesitation. At the door of the hotel, the Dragon Spear was already ready to go!
"I'm sorry, because of our mistake..." Silla, the big man, looked very guilty, and there was even a trace of sadness on his face that had always been stern.
"Now is not the time to talk about this! Go find the businessman quickly, rescuing the children is the most important thing!" Lily immediately interrupted Silla, pointed to the carriage beside her and asked, "Is this carriage ours?
"
Garudo is already on board the carriage, but it is completely different from the three carriages that the Dragon Spear drove into Otez City. This carriage is obviously brand new, and it does not have the strange smell of the slave carriage.
.
"We sold the three carriages and the Warcraft and bought a new carriage." Lan explained, "Okay, hurry up and get in the carriage!"
"Wait! Where is Kaz?" Fan found out that the monster-like man was not here and asked involuntarily.
Lily pulled Fan into the car and shouted dissatisfied: "You idiot! He must be wandering somewhere in the city! We don't have time to wait for him to meet up! Come up and start!"
After everyone got on the carriage, Garudo and Silla in the driver's seat immediately made the carriage fly on the small streets of Otez! In the carriage, Lily stared curiously at Lan's shoulder.
Kongkong asked: "Sister Lan, how did you manage to communicate with that little dragon?"
Lan patted Kong Kong's head lovingly and explained to Lily: "It's a contract. Generally speaking, a contract will make the contractee and the contractee feel connected. I will know what Kong Kong wants to express as soon as possible."
"It's similar to the spiritual connection we had back then." Fan Xianglili explained that when Lily first came to Garsain, Fan used this magic on her in order to hear Lily's words.
"I really didn't expect that the kind-looking uncle was actually a bad guy..." Alison put her chin in one hand and recalled the wealthy orc businessman she met at the Chamber of Commerce. "His ears looked bigger than the captain's.
Much more fun… furry…”
Captain Sirla will be angry if she hears this... Lily looked at Alison speechlessly. She inadvertently looked out the window and discovered a little girl walking on the street carrying a short knife like a bone chopping knife...
...Lily always felt that her body was filled with a familiar and intoxicating aroma - the smell of blood!
It seems that the security of this place is much worse than that of Blake City... Lily couldn't help but sigh.
Arriving at the Chamber of Commerce quickly, Garudo jumped off his horse, grabbed a businessman who happened to be passing by and asked: "Where is Qiuli?!"
The businessman was obviously taken aback and stammered: "He, he just left the city not long ago!"
"Leave the city? Where did you go?" Garudo continued to press, and the businessman was completely panicked and shouted: "I don't know! I don't know! Help! Murder!!"
When the businessman shouted like this, the entire chamber of commerce immediately became chaotic. The businessman's guards immediately ran towards this side and surrounded the Dragon Spear.
"Damn it!" Throwing away the idiot businessman, Garudo was about to draw his weapon, but was stopped by Silla. In the meantime, a fat middle-aged businessman came to the terrace on the second floor of the Chamber of Commerce and looked down at the two men.
Person: "Who are you? Why do you want to harm members of our chamber of commerce?"
"I didn't think about it..." Garudo's words were stopped by Silla. Silla said sincerely to the middle-aged businessman, "We want to know the whereabouts of your association. My partner was so impulsive that he scared the businessman.
…”
"Hmph! You can explain these words to the city guards!" The middle-aged businessman sneered and was about to leave, but at this time Lily left the carriage, smiled at the businessman and shouted: "Uncle businessman, look here~
"
The middle-aged businessman subconsciously looked back, only to see a pair of eyes emitting a strange red light! He suddenly became a little confused, and Lily secretly wiped her sweat and asked, "Where did Qiu Li go?"
"He... left through the south gate... and returned to the Orc Empire..." The middle-aged businessman looked into Lily's eyes with a confused expression and said slowly.
Lily didn't dare to look away from his eyes and continued: "Get your people to withdraw! We don't mean any harm."
"You... put away your weapons quickly." The middle-aged businessman was obviously a very important figure in the chamber of commerce. Although the guards belonging to various businessmen hesitated, they still put away their weapons.
"Uncle Sirla! Let's go!" Lily was still staring at the middle-aged businessman with her red eyes. She didn't know how long her charming pupils could last. Hypnotizing the enemy like this was only Lily's experiment today.
Using the abilities, she felt that after absorbing the strange black energy, some of her powers became stronger and stronger.
