[Chapter 215 Skeleton Finger]

Taking Tasa to a small room on the second floor of the tavern, the strong man ordered the bartender to continue cleaning, and then closed the door.

This place is used to entertain customers with special needs. It only charges twenty-five copper eagles a night, so the environment is not very elegant. The small bed has an unpleasant musty smell, and the bedding Wrinkled, as if it hadn’t been taken out for a long time to wash and dry. The cracked wooden table was missing a corner, and the cracks were filled with black flocs, making the tabletop look greasy and dirty. But Thasa didn’t bother to care , he sat down on the edge of the bed, quietly waiting for the other party to speak.

“It’s been a long time,” the strong man grinned, “Since Master Naji took your seat, why don’t you even come to the tavern? Even if you don’t He is in charge of this matter, so you can come and have a drink.”

His nickname is Black Hammer, the watchman of the “Underground Trumpeter” tavern, and a member of Skeleton Finger. It sounds scary, but it is one of the many rats in the black streets of the capital. One of them. The mice formed gangs, divided territories, and formed large and loose organizations according to different business operations. Behind these underground organizations, there are more or less shadows of big nobles or wealthy businessmen, and Skeleton Finger is no exception But unlike domestic dogs, most mice will not choose to be loyal to a certain person. As long as there is interest, they can do things for anyone

. Hei Hammer

, the swineherd, the silver ring, and the clay pot are all called over, and I have something to arrange in this tavern.”

“These are all underground trumpeters,” Hei Hammer was stunned, “they alone are enough Already?”

“I told you, it’s a good business.” He shrugged, “I’m looking for you because you’ve done a lot for me.”

According to the usual steps of dealing with the black street, first find the contact person, and then let the other party judge whether to accept the task.

After the two have reached an agreement, the connector will entrust the task to the right person and charge a fee at the same time.

Of course, there is no contract or written certificate to guarantee this process, and it is completely unknown whether it can finally achieve the desired effect of the employer.

Generally speaking, the more well-known organizations care about their own reputation, and the commission fees are higher, while the new organizations charge lower fees, but they tend to end up in a situation where they are short of people and money.

These mice and the city patrol team formed a delicate balance, and together maintained the superficial order in the capital.

Before entering the palace and becoming a palace guard, Tasa served in the patrol team and was responsible for handing over some inconvenient affairs to various organizations in the underworld.

Therefore, he knew all the most powerful groups of rats in the capital, and saved the time of dealing with connectors.

As for the reason for choosing skeleton fingers, it’s simply because they’re not that bad.

“May I ask, who are you working for now?” Black Hammer asked after hesitating for a moment.

Tasa didn’t answer, but stretched out his thumb and pointed in the direction of the palace behind him.

Be it the patrol team or the rats, most people only knew that he became a guard, but they didn’t know that he was selected by Wimbledon III as the personal guard of the fourth prince not long after, and went to Border Town with His Royal Highness.

During the six months of disappearance, they should have thought that they had been staying in the palace.

Besides, I was only pointing in the direction of the royal palace, not lying – Timothy is not the only one in the royal family, Roland Wimbledon is also a member of the royal family.

“I understand,” he nodded, “but Sylvie and Swineherd are gone, can I pick my own?”

“What happened to them?”

“Dead.” Black Hammer said angrily, “Last year Winter had conflicts with people from Dreamland Water. They sold poppies and dormant ferns to the territory of Beicheng District. Casas led the group and drove them back. Sylvie was stabbed in the neck, and the blood could not stop , and the swineherds were filled by them in the canal.”

Tasa frowned. The patrol team would not care about this kind of thing at all, and would even provoke the rats to bite each other deliberately in order to control their strength and number. As for the dead, no one would care .

“That’s fine too, but you have to remember, it has to be someone from the tavern.”

After leaving the underground trumpeter, Tasa took a deep breath

.

The damp smell in the tavern made his stomach a little queasy, and it was not until the hot air rushed into his lungs that the cloudy and dull feeling was slightly dispelled.

Although Black Hammer graciously invited him to wait in the tavern and declared that he would entertain him with fine wine, Thassa was unwilling to stay in a small place for too long.

If there is a change, he can’t detect the abnormality at the first time.

Next, he decided to go to the inner city and find a reliable hotel to book a room for tonight. As for the soldiers of the First Army, they were already very proficient at camping at night, so they didn’t need to worry about it.

After nightfall, Thassa returned to the underground trumpeter again.

At this time, the tavern was already operating normally, and customers came in and out from time to time. He waited in the dark for a while before entering the room after a drinker.

As a low-end tavern in the outer city, most of the people who come here to drink are civilians, and the drinks are all cheap and low-quality ale. Ten copper eagles can drink several large bowls in a row.

Amidst the noisy voices, he quickly found Hei Hammer’s subordinates. They were sitting in a partition against the wall, and there was a white finger bone beside the table.

Tasa walked over calmly, and someone immediately made room for him.

“Good evening, my lord,” the silver ring and clay pot nodded in salute.

“Let me introduce these two to you. She is Littlefinger.” Black Hammer patted the little one beside her, then pointed to the young man beside her, “Hill Fox, you just joined Skullfinger recently.”

“Fox?” Thassa’s eyes stopped on the other party, and the latter bowed his head a little cautiously.

“In our line of work, there are very few guys with complete surnames,” Hei Hammer laughed. “He lost all his money in gambling, his wife ran away with someone, he even sold his house, and had to join the underworld. Don’t worry, he I used to live in the North City District, and occasionally visited the underground trumpeter.”

Silver Ring and Clay Pot are old acquaintances, and Little Finger looks like an ordinary vagrant, but this Hill Fox, Tasa thinks It’s a little strange… His appearance and expression are indeed very similar to the lost person who has experienced a drastic change and has become exhausted, but there is still something indescribable in his eyes, like… He thought for a while, After all, I couldn’t get an accurate answer.

Forget it, since he lives in the North District and is an acquaintance in the tavern, it shouldn’t be a big problem.

And the first task he has to complete is to transport the fugitives, there is no risk.

“Listen well, the matter is not complicated. The higher-ups don’t want to see the number of refugees from the east continue to increase, and the food for relief is decreasing every day. If this continues, riots will happen sooner or later, and it will be much more difficult to deal with. , so find a way to get them out of the capital.”

“What do you need us to do?” Black Hammer asked.

“It’s very simple, spread a message that the western region is reclaiming wasteland, the local lord is willing to accept these fugitives, and the escorted mercenaries and fleet have already set off and will arrive at the canal dock in three days. What you have to do, Just to spread this news to those idiots outside the city, you can freely add specific details, the more true the better.”

“But… if there are no mercenaries and fleets by then, it will be useless to tell the truth

Ah.” Silver Ring said.

“Of course there will be,” Tasa smiled.

“Ah?” He was stunned, “Could it be that the lords of the Western Region really want to accept them?”

“You idiot,” Black Hammer slapped him on the head, “Of course you have to do a full set of acting. It’s not enough to walk back to the king on two legs? As for how to deal with them, let the local lord have a headache.” He looked at Tasa, “It’s really not a tricky task, but the reward…”

Tasa stretched out two fingers, “Twice. My new employer is no better than a patrol team. He just wants to see the results as soon as possible. Golden Dragon doesn’t mean much to him.” He smiled slightly, “I said, this It’s a good business.” (To be continued.)
