Chapter 70 More Secret Information Channels~Fill~)
Gray Street is the remnant of the cheap tavern that was not demolished near the workers' residence after Lu Gaoyin's last expansion.
Later, due to the complex population structure of the outer city, this street became a small, dark corner near the city wall.
As various mysterious figures frequently appear here, the composition of the people here has gradually become countless times more complex than the outer city itself.
This small corner is filled with cheap taverns, prostitutes, gamblers, swindlers and intelligence dealers.
Everyone here lives by circumventing Lu Gaoyin's law. It is almost a rare gray area under Lu Gaoyin's blazing sunshine.
Over time, the name Gray Street spread like wildfire, and this name also caused many people to come here every day with various shady purposes, looking for someone who could help them.
All in all, this is just a gloomy fringe area of civilization, but it is not a lawless land filled with murderers, villains and gang killers.
In a place like this, there is no problem in getting some simple information, but if it involves information of the level of the Tomb of Tarasha, then you'd better not take any chances with any information you get from this damn place.
...
This is also the reason why Xue Hua bluntly rejected Warif's proposal.
If there was real information about Tarasha's Tomb in Gray Street, this place would have been torn to pieces by Lu Gaoyin's three forces, especially the Lu Gaoyin People's Protection Association, the actual controller of the entire Gray Street.
Therefore, what Xue Hua needs now is a deeper secret channel. It must be an organization that is extremely unobtrusive but has great real capabilities.
A city like Lu Gaoyin, just like some of the so-called "international metropolises" in Xue Hua's previous life, cannot be without its dark side beneath its glamorous appearance.
Moreover, Warev just admitted that he does have some secret channels, and judging from his performance, the water in this secret channel seems to be quite deep.
"Xue, what kind of information do you want? Even Gray Street can't satisfy you?" Warev frowned again after hearing Xue Hua's answer.
It's not that he doesn't want to help Xue Hua, it's just that he really doesn't want to go to that ghost place a second time.
"Well, let me tell you the truth. The information I want is about the ancient Tomb of Tarasha, and it must be true, and preferably it must be very important..."
Xue Hua pursed his lips and decided to tell Warev the truth. With this guy's personality, he probably wouldn't spread the word about this matter everywhere.
Besides, what would happen even if he told it?
This was originally just a backup plan, and there was no telling whether it should be used or not.
And he doesn’t just have this backup plan...
"Talasha's ancient tomb?! I'll go! You're not involved in that thing, are you?" Warev was stunned for a moment, then blurted out with a look of surprise.
"Huh?! What are you involved in? How do you know what it is?" Xue Hua opened his eyes wide and looked at the Arab drunkard in front of him. This guy seemed to know more than he thought.
Because of the matter about Tarasha's ancient tomb, except for Jehain's display of the King's Staff found by the royal family, everything else was done in private.
Except for the senior personnel of the three major forces, no one else should know the details.
After all, everything is still in progress. No one can make a final conclusion on how things will turn out until the last moment, so they don’t know how to talk about it.
But although none of this has been deliberately concealed, it is not accessible to just anyone, right?
How did a merchant in Warriv know these things?
"No, it's nothing. Just pretend that I didn't say anything just now..." Warev realized he had made a mistake and coughed quickly, with a hint of pleading in his tone.
"...Ahem, well, the information about Talasha Tomb is very important to me, so I need a source of information that can ensure authenticity. Therefore, I can't believe those boastful liars and information dealers in Gray Street, so
I just want to use your connections..."
Xue Hua was silent for a moment. He knew that Warev might be hiding something, but since he begged him not to ask, he was not prepared to meddle in other people's business.
After all, he has enough troubles to face.
After hearing Xue Hua's words, Warev also fell silent. He picked up the golden wine bottle next to him and poured half a glass of wine for himself, then leaned on the back of the soft chair and sipped it slowly.
After more than ten minutes, he turned to the wine glass and asked in a gloomy voice: "Do you want it now? If you want it now, there may be some trouble..."
"No, not now. When I come back from this trip, I will come to you again if necessary, okay?" Xue Hua shook his head and replied.
"Well, I understand, then there's no problem." Warev nodded, looking a little more relaxed.
"Okay, that's it. I have to go back. After all, I still have to prepare some travel matters..." Xue Hua nodded, stood up and said to Warev.
"Okay, then I won't keep you. Regarding your matters, I will help you prepare before you come back... But you have to be mentally prepared..." Warev
He also stood up, nodded towards Xue Hua, and finally sighed.
"Uh?" Xue Hua was stunned. Just as he was about to ask something, Warev waved his hand and walked out of the reception room.
"Okay, I won't ask anymore..." Xue Hua rolled his eyes and followed him out of the house.
...
Taking advantage of the constant flow of people on the commercial street, Xue Hua successfully sneaked back into the back door of his residence.
The reason why he had to be so careful was entirely because Farah had warned him that on the street where he lived, there was always a group of people sneaking around to inquire about something.
The content seems to contain some news about him.
However, Xue Hua's residence was given by Farah, and there was a special protective force field set up by Master Lu Gaoyin there, so these talents were never able to find his real residence.
But Farah also told Xue Hua that this protective force field is not omnipotent. If he does not want to be followed, he must be careful every time he goes out. Unless there is a carriage from the Master Association to pick him up, he should usually try to travel through the back door.
, even when two little girls go shopping, it is best not to go through the front door.
Xue Hua didn't know what these people wanted, but in short, this kind of secret investigation did not mean anything good, so he followed Farah's suggestion and took a detour through the back door to see Warev.
The back door goes back around.
This was indeed a bit troublesome, but when it came to the safety of him and the two girls he regarded as family, he did not dare to be careless at all.
Xue Hua gently opened the back door and walked into the house, only to see Annie counting the various items piled on the floor with a parchment pad and quill pen. Xue Hua told her that she would have to stay in the wild for at least ten days during this trip.
God, so the girl has prepared all the necessities.
Funya was busy preparing dry food in the kitchen. Ever since Xue Hua tasted this girl's cooking, he had given up on the dog-ear meatloaf in the dry food bag that he loved so much. Now they go out for adventure every time.
, the dry food is all prepared by the little girl Funya.
Seeing Annie's serious look, Xue Hua couldn't help but quietly leaned over from behind and hugged the girl's waist.
But the girl only stiffened up for a moment, then relaxed again with a blush on her face.
"Hmm... Master~ He always uses this method to take advantage of others..." The little girl said in a casual voice, and continued to count the supplies on the ground without looking back.
"Uh...haha~~" Xue Hua smiled awkwardly, but then he extended his head to the girl's soft earlobe and blew lightly.
"We are going to start adventures together again. How about it? Are you looking forward to it?"
"Hehe~ It's so itchy~ Master, please stop making trouble~ Go and play with Funia, I have a lot of things to do here~~" Annie shrank her neck itchyly, then turned around with a red face, white
He glanced at this shameless guy and pushed him aside coquettishly.
Xue Hua looked at the bulging-cheeked girl and had no choice but to raise his hands to signal his surrender, and then prepared to sneak into the kitchen to tease the little cook Funia.
At this moment, Abathur's urgent communication request suddenly came from the main hive mind.
