Pale Emblem

Chapter 92 Loud Slap
The half-bloods often referred to by the Disar half-elves refer to the boys born between the female warriors of Hemer and the adventurers of half-elf.Their physical features are slightly prettier than those of the Disar half-elves, but they are not very different either.However, the vast majority of half-breeds grew up in remote, adventurous strongholds, and they certainly behaved differently from the half-elves who lived in the city-state.Especially the half-breeds who have just arrived in the city-state don't know anything, are curious about everything, and look like a country bumpkin who has never seen the world, it is inevitable that they will be discriminated against by the locals.When they get to know each other in town, who can tell that they are half-breed?
Half-elf commoners discriminate against half-bloods more out of jealousy, jealous that they are handsome, strong, and have the blood of rock elves.At the very least, pretty and robust half-breeds are more likely to be favored by half-elf women.

If it's just good looks, it can't be used as a way to tell a half-blood from a normal half-elf.The figure and appearance of the highland half-elves are also very good. Who dares to discriminate against the appearance of the highland half-elves and slander them as half-bloods?Don't want to live?
The old wolf did not doubt the knowledge of the caravan pal Lockerbie. He thought that the guy named Victor was behaving like a country bumpkin, and Lockerbie saw his identity as a half-blood.

This information is very interesting.

If one of those five is a goofy half-breed, does that mean they're from some remote adventure stronghold?
However, the petticoats worn by Ruth and Jessica endured the whiplash without breaking, and were obviously high-quality goods.How could they possibly come from the backcountry?

The old wolf had doubts in his heart, his face darkened, and he used a fierce tone to frighten the caravan guys: "Lockerbie, you dare to lie to me?! You dare to lie to me? I will let you understand immediately what the person who deceived me has to pay. The price. Do it!"

A few thugs next to him immediately stepped forward to control Lockerbie, took out a sharp dagger and aimed it at his left pinky finger, making a gesture to cut it off.The caravan mates screamed in fright: "Don't, don't... boss, I didn't lie to you, I swear I didn't lie to you! They brought treasure, I saw it!"

Lockerbie was so frightened that the old wolf stopped his subordinates and said, "Lockerbie, Lockerbie... I'll give you one more chance to tell everything you know. If you still play tricks with me, be careful. your thumb."

Lockerbie was holding his little finger that was almost broken, gasped for a while, and said in horror: "Big boss, I really didn't lie to you... I don't know, where did I say something wrong."

"How do you know that Victor is not pretending to be a half-blood?" The old wolf said coldly: "My rule here is that anyone who deliberately provides false information should be damned."

Lockerbie shook his head with a wry smile and defended: "Big boss, Victor is very tall, close to 1.9 meters, and has a well-proportioned figure. He looks handsome, but his eyes are particularly beautiful, like two pure sapphires. Team Everyone here thinks that he is a mixed-race Ta Cave... I'm not the only one who said it."

The old wolf and the thugs were stunned.Just like the vast majority of Dissa half-elves, they have never seen the Hemers and Takus living in remote areas in their lives, but there are many rumors about rock elves.Especially the Ta cave people, they are mysterious and powerful, and their numbers are extremely rare.Mixed-breeds borne by Taku and half-elf women are even rarer.The most distinguishing feature of these hybrids is their height.

The height of the pagoda mixed-race child is at least 1.8 meters, and the proportions of the body are particularly well-proportioned.They stand with half-elves whose average height is only 1.7 meters, and they will be very conspicuous.There are also people among the half-elf commoners who are tall and burly, but their stature is not as well-proportioned and slender as the half-blooded pagoda.

Of course, just because Victor is tall and well-proportioned, and looks handsome, he cannot be considered to be a half-breed of the tower cave. In fact, he is more likely to be the illegitimate son of a famous noble.

The old wolf is more knowledgeable than the guys who run the caravan, at least he knows the names of the high places better than the guys in the caravan.

There are rumors that the big man in charge of the underground world of Beibang in Fallen Leaves City is the illegitimate son of a famous noble. He is also tall and well-proportioned, with handsome appearance.But he has always declared himself to be a mixed-race Ta Cave.

The old wolf once thought maliciously that the powerful underground king boasted of a noble rock elf blood, but he did not dare to admit the identity of the illegitimate son of a famous family.Otherwise, in order to prevent illegitimate sons from fighting for property, his brothers and sisters would definitely crush him like a bedbug.

"You see that Victor speaks and acts like a half-breed?" The old wolf continued to ask.

"This...he doesn't talk much, looks arrogant, and is indifferent to everyone."

The old wolf has never seen the Hemer and Taku tribes, but in terms of life experience, Lockerbie, who has followed the armed caravan to the north and south, is far inferior to him.The old wolf didn't believe that there were any mixed blood in the tower cave. It was nothing more than the statement that the illegitimate children of the nobles put gold on their faces, claiming that their origins were nobler than ordinary half-elves, and they dared not admit that they were wild breeds of famous nobles.

That Victor may have been the illegitimate son of a nobleman, perhaps several generations away.But he must be down and out, at least not like the underground king of Fallen Leaf City, who is secretly supported by famous nobles.

If this is the case, the old wolf thinks that many questions seem reasonable.He guessed that the five strangers who hitchhiked to Water Snake were his comrades.

Thieves' union's business includes theft, fraud, kidnapping for ransom, murder and trafficking, and human trafficking.

Unlike slave traders, thieves are illegal to sell people.

In the Disa Union, slaves were divided into wage slaves and private slaves.Wage slaves sell themselves to rich people, while private slaves are completely the private property of their masters, and the masters can dispose of them at will.Private slaves In addition to the most common barbarian slaves, there are also criminal half-elves that are publicly auctioned by the Judgment Hall to compensate for the losses of the victims.

The offspring of private slaves are still private slaves, and the owner has the right to resell them.This has led to a large number of half-elf private slaves. For example, the Temple of the Earth has publicly bought young half-elf private servants, trained them first, and then resold them at a high price.

However, there is a beautiful saying about the sale of private slaves in the Temple of the Earth, called "Selection of Divine Grace".

The barbarian and private slave trade, the thieves union is not qualified to meddle.Their human trafficking is real trafficking.Young children, young and beautiful women and men from ordinary civilian families are all targeted by thieves.In fact, the phenomenon of human trafficking has been going on for many years under the cover of private slave trade, and there are gangs of thieves who specialize in this activity.In the underground world, human traffickers are known as "black pigeons".

This kind of thing, the old wolf has seen many times.He had covered the black pigeon gang and took their money.

However, gangs have their own territory.Black Dove in Fallen Leaf City and their counterparts in Rapids City can cooperate with each other, but neither of them can step over the border.Therefore, the old wolf is not familiar with the black pigeon gang in Riptide City.

Old Wolf estimates that Harvey, Maddie and Victor should be the black pigeons of Riptide.Most of them were scammed, and they received two hot goods, and they were not allowed to run to the Fallen Leaf City.

The two women they took with them were probably the daughters of the wealthy families of Torrent City, and they were insane before they were abducted.The reason is very simple, if they are not crazy and can identify themselves, Harvey and the others will never be fooled.

"Harvey and the others have entered Water Snake Town?" the old wolf asked again.

"Yes, they entered the town, and I quietly followed them for a while, and they lived in..."

Lockerbie also wanted to betray the whereabouts of Harvey and others, but was blocked by the old wolf with a contemptuous look.

Water Snake Town is only so big, if the old wolf can't even find the whereabouts of five strangers, he doesn't have to mess around.Whether Harvey and the others live in a hotel, a tavern, or a commoner's house, before the sun goes down today, someone will send the news to the old wolf.

In Water Snake Town, nothing can hide from the eyes and ears of the Thieves Guild, and Lockerbie himself is also the eyeliner of the old wolf.

He described Harvey and the others' features and dress details in detail, and finally said, "Big Boss, these five people of unknown origin are carrying a large rattan basket, and there must be a lot of valuable treasures in it. Look, I reward..."

According to the rules of the Thieves Guild, the thieves attack the target, and part of the stolen property should be distributed to the eyeliner who provides information.The old wolf has always treated people who do things for him badly, but he can sit in this position with caution. Even if he wants to start with the three black pigeons, he doesn't have to worry. He can wait a few days to find out their details. A piece of information is valuable in itself.

The old wolf took out a few silver coins from the drawer, threw them in front of Lockerbie, and said with a smile: "You take this money first, it is enough for you to have fun in the tavern. With my old wolf's reputation, I asked you to do what I asked you to do. If you do it well, I should give you a lot. But, if you don't care about it, you don't care! Understand?"

When it came to the last two sentences, the old wolf's tone became particularly severe, full of warnings.Lockerbie obeyed, reaching for a few silver coins on the table.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, and everyone in the room was alert and did not make any sound.

This is a den of thieves, the password for knocking on the door is wrong!
The janitor looked back at the old wolf, and when he saw him shaking his head gently, he did not open the window on the door, but only put his ear to the wooden door to listen to the movement outside.

Not only is this room secluded, it is also very soundproofed.The janitor didn't hear anything outside, but he knew something must have happened.

The entrance to this cul-de-sac is guarded by members of the Thieves Union, and outsiders cannot enter the alley at all.Since the person knocking on the door couldn't match the code, how did he get in?
Without the old wolf to say hello, several thieves in the house took out sharp knives and short crossbows one after another to be on guard.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the six iron latches that locked the iron wooden door were all shaken open.The doorman was caught off guard, and the wooden door that was opened directly flew out, first hung on the wall of the front hall, and then slipped down.I saw him tilting his head, sitting in the corner and already in a coma.

A strong man with an unfamiliar appearance broke into the door, and he scolded: "Bah! A group of rat cubs are hiding in the house without making a sound, don't they want to do business?!"

The caravan guy saw the appearance of the person coming, and immediately let out a scream.

"It's Harvey!"

Harvey also saw Lockerbie, he thought about it for a while, and then became furious: "Lockerbie! How dare you betray me!"

Lockerbie suddenly stood up from his chair, jumped behind the old wolf, and pleaded, "Big boss, save me! He is Harvey."

Before the old wolf could react, he was already face to face with the unfamiliar strong man who strode forward.

Mundo, who was sitting on the sofa like a wooden man, finally moved. He dodged and stopped between the intruder and the boss. The other gangsters also surrounded the intruder from different directions.

The thugs that Laolang stayed by were professional thugs, especially Mundo, who was bald and crippled. He was a third-level professional thug. He was famous for his viciousness in the underground arena in Beibang, the city of leaves, killing and maiming more than [-] opponents. In a gambling match, he killed a fourth-level professional swordsman with his bare hands.

The old wolf spent a lot of money to recruit Mundo under his command.

Mundo did not disappoint the old wolf, and he stopped the menacing Harvey at a critical moment.He stared blankly at Harvey, his empty and dull eyes shone dangerously cold, and shook his head slowly and forcefully, signaling the other party not to act rashly, or he would die!
When the bald-headed Mundo is serious, he has a fierce flame that completely suppresses the intruder's momentum.But the thieves seem to have forgotten that the gatekeeper who was just knocked out is also a third-level thug, and his strength is second only to Mundo.

The stocky and stocky Harvey glanced at the half-elf thug, and suddenly raised his hand and slapped him in the face.

"What to wear!"

The level of a professional represents the blood secret ability, and it is not necessarily related to the personal combat power of the professional, unless it reaches the sixth level of qualitative change, and the professional below the sixth level, including the fifth-level Venerable, is not necessarily able to crush the low-level profession. By.

In actual combat, it is not uncommon for low-level professionals to leapfrog their opponents.It all depends on the personal combat experience and will to fight, not the blood secret ability.

The Desa Alliance opened up the thug career path in order to cultivate a raider designed to compete with the savage fighters. Unfortunately, the attempt of the raider career path ended in failure, and it became a nondescript thug career, and the highest achievement stopped at the third level.

But when it comes to close combat, the thug profession is well-deserved first.As the leader of the thugs, Mundo knew from experience that Harvey only wanted to slap himself, not kill himself.But Mundo either doesn't make a move, and if he makes a move, he makes a dead move.

Mundo ignited the secret blood, and instantly gained a terrifying explosive force. His swollen muscles burst through the clothes on his body, and he punched Harvey's abdomen with a punch as fast as lightning. The air formed a wave on his fist.

Secret Skill - Blast.

No matter how strong a professional's blood secret ability is, it's useless if it can't be used.The thug's melee combat technique is to let the opponent have no time to exert his secret blood ability!

Even if Harvey can withstand this ferocious personal jab, Mundo is confident that he will be killed on the spot with the next three combos.

"Snapped!"

A loud and crisp slap slapped Mundo on the face, and the number one thug of the Thieves Guild of Water Snake Town fell down and fell unconscious.

The rest of the professional thugs were stunned for a moment, and then they remembered to join forces to besiege, and all the bayonets, short crossbows, fists and claws greeted Harvey.

"Crack", "Crack", "Crack".

After Harvey slapped several times in a row, the entire den of thieves was quiet.

The old wolf saw that all his confidants fainted to the ground, but none of them died, and they were still able to breathe.The leader of the thieves suddenly reacted, and quickly stood up from the chair, hunched over, and said with a smile: "Mr. Harvey, what do you want to buy? I'll try my best to satisfy, and I won't dare to disappoint you..."
