Chapter 57 The Black Swordsmen
Walking onto this rather dirty street, the gray-black filth all around was accompanied by bursts of pungent smell, and the dark yellow odor emanating from both sides made Leo frown.
Carefully avoiding foreign objects that he might step on, Leo even regretted not riding his horse over here. However, he had to make peace with it as he came, so he had no choice but to endure the disgust in his heart and continue walking.
Finally, after turning a corner, the street in front of me was finally a little brighter. What came into view were seven or eight strong men, dressed in gray-red cloth, with a short sword hanging on their waist or carrying a short sword on their backs.
, the face is very fierce.
However, next to him, there is another man wearing standard silver plate armor with bright red swords intertwined on his back, which is very majestic. He also carries a slender and exquisite silver-plated sword on his back, showing his extraordinary status. This face is quite
A serious middle-aged man, who is it but Baron Walker?
At this time, Baron Walker also looked helpless. The functions of the Patrollers partially overlapped with theirs, and the other party was obviously more able to speak than him. Therefore, in many cases, the City Guards were ordered by the Patrollers.
This is also a common thing. Although the relationship between the two is not superior and subordinate, the patrol does not have direct jurisdiction over the city guard.
Of course, this is the situation at this time. The city guard is not just a garrison like the feudal dynasty in Leo's previous life. In this Kingdom of Fiery Lion Realm, it also functions as a security force, even for this future
The gangs in the streets and the city guards also have sufficient deterrence.
"Master Patroller, this is Pavara, the president of the Black Knife Society," Baron Walker said, pointing to a dry old man not far away. This old man was dressed in coarse linen clothes, with heavy folds on his face and a rough face.
There are several huge scars on it, which look very scary.
At this time, seeing Baron Walker pointing at him, Pavara was a little uncomfortable. Although his face was calm, Leo could see the nervousness of the other party due to the involuntary trembling of his fingers and slightly disordered breathing.
It's normal. Gangsters live in the darkness of Lion City, barely surviving at the bottom of all forces. For ordinary people, they are naturally very vicious and untouchable, but when faced with an official like the City Guards,
Violent organizations, but there is no threat at all.
At this time, Pavara was called here by one of the leaders of the city guard. There seemed to be a noble with a higher status beside him. Even Pavara, who was quite prestigious in the back streets, was a little scared.
Black Knife Club?
Leo frowned slightly and looked at the old man. Although at present, the other man seemed to be just a dry old man, not much different from ordinary citizens, but Leo could still feel the vague and dangerous aura.
"Sir," seeing Baron Walker beckoning, Pavara also hurried over, rubbed her hands and bent down to salute, and tried to glance at it from time to time. But with such an action, she caught Leo in the corner of her eye.
The several lion guards behind them, who were wearing chain-mail robes and looked impressive, also shuddered subconsciously and no longer dared to look around.
Could this... be the boss of the Lion Knights?
Pavara became more and more confused for a moment. As the national knights of the kingdom, the Knights of the Lion have a very transcendent status and their reputation is natural. Needless to say, how could he, a mere underworld guild, be approached by someone from the Knights of the Lion?
"This is Lord Leo Archimonde, the Kingdom's Patroller," Baron Walker introduced Leo's identity, which made Pavara frightened again. Patroller, is this a replacement? Such a big boss
What are you doing in the back streets?
Although it has been rumored that Leo's identity has been appointed for some time, the news has only been circulated among the top leaders of the kingdom. For these gangs at the bottom of the kingdom's power, naturally there is not much timely news. Therefore, Pavala heard
The young man in front of him knew how to patrol the wind, and he was naturally shocked.
"Dear Patrolman, Pavala salutes you," Pavala did not dare to be rude and bowed and said, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Pavala," Leo looked at the old man in front of him and said, "Don't be nervous, I have always been kind to others.
This time I come to see you for a routine consultation, you just need to answer truthfully."
"Dear Patrolman, Pavala must know everything and tell you everything," Pavala replied hurriedly and respectfully.
"During this period of time, have you ever seen a large amount of refined grain trading in your backstreets?" Leo's question made Pavara a little confused. Fine grains are crops that have been cultivated to a high level. At least Lion Knight
The group generally enjoys refined food.
Taking it all year round is very beneficial to delaying one's own aging and maintaining high-intensity training. Even many nobles will keep it at home.
"I've never heard of it," Pavala frowned slightly and thought for a moment before replying with a frown, but she seemed to want to say something and finally didn't speak.
"Whatever you want to say, it's okay to just say it," seeing this scene, Leo naturally frowned slightly and said.
"Sir, there are three major gangs in the backstreets that control everything in the black market," Pavara said cautiously, "I can only know the voices related to our Black Knife Society. If it is the other two major gangs, we cannot contact them.
"
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Leo frowned slightly and looked at Baron Walker beside him.
"Your Majesty is unaware of the patrol," Walker said hurriedly. "At the moment, only the Black Knife Society has some goodwill towards our City Guards. Your Majesty told us not to act rashly before. I was worried that the news would be leaked, so I only invited
Parvala.”
"Well," Leo nodded, but didn't pursue it further and continued to ask Pavara, "What about the Gerova sword sharpening stone?" This is a sword sharpening stone that is only needed for the maintenance of high-end weapons.
"There seems to have been a similar movement," Pavara's expression turned slightly grim again. The Growa sword-sharpening stone was not an ordinary thing, so naturally there would be no news. "I will have my men investigate carefully later. If
If you get something, report it immediately."
"Has anyone purchased a large amount of medicine recently?" Leo frowned slightly and asked again.
"This..." Pavala frowned for a while, "Sir, our gangs take some drugs every day. Of course, it is normal to sell them to others."
"I'm talking about some sophisticated medicines, such as Zhixue Shengji Powder, Wenxin Powder, etc., not the ones you usually use." Leo said helplessly.
"Perhaps," Pavala said with a wry smile. "If we don't pay attention to these things, we wouldn't understand them."
"Go and find out which families have increased the frequency of their caravans entering the city recently. Even if there is only one more trip, tell me, especially the caravans with nobles personally in charge." Leo's words were spoken by Baron Walker.
, then turned to Pavara again and said, "You must use your best efforts to use your connections to explore the issues I mentioned, and then find out which noble families have more people recently, especially the families near those places.
"
Leo stretched out his hand and pointed to several relatively tall two-story buildings. These places were not far from the prison, but had excellent views.
Baron Walker and Pavara naturally responded in unison. Although they had doubts in their hearts, they still did not ask.
Looking at the performance of the two of them, Leo was also quite satisfied. He turned around and took Bella and others out of the back street. The smell of this place was really unbearable for him.
"This Lord Patrolman is very resolute," Baron Walker said with a rather wry smile as he looked at Leo's leaving figure.
"It's not simple," Pavara shook his head slightly, looking quite surprised. Nobles respect their status and rarely pay attention to the back streets. As for coming in person, it is even more rare. This Earl Leo is not
Take the usual path.
"Sir, are we going back to the Wind Patrol headquarters now?" Bella asked.
"I'll answer," Leo's words made Bella feel a little confused.
"As for you, go to the market and investigate carefully. It is impossible for those people to attack the prison without any damage this time," Leo said. "In this case, you must need wound medicine. If you dare to attack the prison, your strength will be high."
.
Ordinary wound medicine is no longer effective."
"We have also considered these and asked specifically afterward," Bella said with a wry smile. Their patrolmen were not fools either. "Unfortunately, there are many people who have purchased high-quality wound medicine.
But not one family has purchased it in large quantities. A total of twelve families have purchased it, and two noble young men from the Knight School have also purchased it."
"Give me their information, the sooner the better." Hearing this, Leo walked faster, as if some sparks flashed across his mind, giving him some inspiration.
