Pale Emblem

Chapter 93 The tiger who broke into the pigsty
After a long time, the old wolf personally sent Harvey out of the house. He smiled and said: "Brother Harvey, don't worry, I promise that everything you want will be gathered before the sun goes down tomorrow. When the time comes, I will send someone to deliver it to you. Go and settle the balance by the way."

"You don't have to send someone to deliver it! Tomorrow afternoon, I'll get it myself." Harvey rudely rejected the old wolf, he didn't want to reveal where he was staying.

The old wolf said quickly: "Okay, okay. But the things you want are not with me. You can go to the Black Pig Tavern to pick up the goods. The Black Pig Tavern is on the North Street of the town, and the signboard of the tavern is a pig head wooden sign."

"Black Pig Tavern... that's a weird name." Harvey grumbled, walking out of the alley.

Several strong men venturing out in the alley were all panicked when they saw a stranger coming out of the den of thieves. Some people couldn't help but reach out to touch the dagger hidden in their waist pocket.

Standing behind Harvey, the old wolf glared viciously at the negligent subordinates, and shook his head slightly, signaling them not to do stupid things.

Harvey swaggered over, and the thugs made way automatically.The old wolf watched Harvey come out of the alley, turned into the street, and disappeared from his sight.

This professional named Harvey can enter the alley without being noticed by a few thugs. With his elusive ability, how can Lao Lang still have the mood to teach a few subordinates who are responsible for letting go?
He was full of thoughts and walked into the house. Several confidants were still lying on the ground unconscious.When the old wolf closed the door, he was surprised to find that the thick iron and wooden door was intact, and there were no cracks on the door frame, as if Harvey's previous violent breaking of the door was just an illusion.

The old wolf carefully checked the latch again, and a chill suddenly appeared in his heart.This wooden door is very sturdy. It has six iron bars, two horizontal and four vertical, which can resist the intrusion of foreign enemies, allowing Lao Lang and his henchmen to escape from the secret passage.

However, all the six door latches had slipped, as if an invisible person had simultaneously pulled the latches from the inside of the house, Harvey pushed open the tin and wooden door from the outside, and directly knocked the thugs who were guarding the door into the wall.

The old wolf had no idea what it meant, and the only explanation he could think of right now was that there were ghosts.But this idea was too absurd, and Lao Lang was not an ignorant folk believer. He put down the strange things he couldn't figure out and went straight into the back room.

Lockerbie, the guy in the armed caravan, was still standing in the corner. Harvey knocked over several professional thugs, but he didn't even embarrass him in the end.

The old wolf glanced at the shivering caravan guy, came to the back of the table, and took his seat again.His hand naturally reached into the drawer, where there was a trigger.

There is actually a large crossbow hidden in this table. As long as the old wolf pulls the trigger, a crossbow arrow made of fine iron will shoot out from the table.

At the moment when Harvey subdued several professional thugs, the old wolf had the idea of ​​pulling the trigger, but he finally gave up the dangerous idea of ​​using organs to deal with Harvey.

This made the old wolf very proud, thinking that he was really old-fashioned, and his ability to adapt to changes was unmatched.

Mundo and others killed Harvey and wanted his life, but Harvey knocked them out.This is because several professional thugs are no threat to Harvey, like a child with a knife yelling at an adult to kill him.An adult is nothing more than beating him up, but not killing him. Isn't that a murderous pervert?

The old wolf knows the skills of these confidants, especially Mundo, who is by no means an ordinary professional thug.He was as powerless as a child in front of Harvey.If Old Wolf had pulled the trigger, Harvey could have killed everyone in the house before he died, even if he was lucky enough to shoot Harvey.

Fortunately, the old wolf was stable enough, and he was so nervous that he had no impulse, otherwise the result would have been different.He now saves himself and his brothers, and has a nice deal with Harvey.

On the table was a note with the name of the goods written on it, and a small leather bag.The old wolf's hand flicked the note, landed on the bag, and took out a piece of rough blue diamond ore from it.Under the light of an oil lamp, this egg-sized rough blue diamond shimmered with a mesmerizing lustre.

The old wolf was very satisfied. He put the blue diamond ore back into the bag and put it in the drawer. At the same time, he took out two gold coins from the drawer.He got up and walked in front of Lockerbie, stuffed the gold coin into his hand, and smiled kindly:

"I won't treat people who do things for me badly. The business you introduced is my share of the business. You also understand my rules. You have to keep your mouth shut, and you can't talk nonsense about today's affairs."

Lockerbie bowed hurriedly, "Thank you big boss, thank you big boss, I will never say anything."

"Well, it's good to know, I'll take you out."

The old wolf held Lockerbie by the shoulders and pushed him out.They stepped over Mundo, who was lying on the ground, and Lockerbie pretended to be concerned: "Big boss, are they... alright?"

"It's okay, it's okay, just sleep for a while."

The old wolf lovingly pushed Lockerbie to the door, and suddenly, a sharp knife came out from the caravan man's chest.

Lockerbie opened his mouth to shout, blood gurgled out of his mouth, and he could only make "gudu" and "gudu" sounds in his throat.The head of the thief put his arms around Lockerbie's shoulders to prevent him from falling down, put his mouth to his ear, and said viciously:
"Lockerbie, I fucking underestimate you... You actually set up a game to lure Harvey to kill me! I almost fell into your hands... well, from now on, you owe me a bet You don't even have to repay the debt, and I won't touch the payment I just gave you, and I'll bury it for you! You see, I've always followed the rules."

The old wolf stirred the handle of the knife, then drew out the blood-stained sharp knife, wiped it on Lockerbie's clothes, and carefully placed the still twitching corpse on the ground without making a sound.

Just now, Harvey pretended to be a thief in the process of negotiating with the old wolf.The old wolf immediately understood that he was set up by Lockerbie, and it was still a dead end.

Thieves who have wandered into the gang come to unfamiliar territory. Even if they want to find the local thieves union to sell the stolen goods and buy the stolen goods, they must first observe secretly for a few days and find out various ways.And an outsider like Harvey doesn't understand the rules of the Thieves' Guild at all. Why can he find Lao Lang's thief's den as soon as he arrives in Water Snake Town?
Unless Lockerbie told him where the den of thieves in Watersnake was.

If Lockerbie is the intermediary for Harvey, he should explain the situation to the old wolf first and get permission before bringing Harvey to the transaction.However, not only did he not act according to the rules of the middleman, he also went to Lao Lang to betray the intelligence information of Harvey and others.When Harvey broke into the den of thieves, he yelled again, begging the old wolf to save him.

Lockerbie told Harvey plainly that he colluded with the Thieves Union and was going to attack Harvey and them.

He ran behind the old wolf, didn't he just want to push the old wolf out as a shield?

Lockerbie's guts surprised the old wolf, but unfortunately the game he set up was too rough, and it was easy to take his own life into it.The old wolf felt that Lockerbie wanted to die with him.Sometimes, little people can't be bullied too hard.

The old wolf killed Lockerbie, who wanted to trap him, and he was sulking, but there would still be a lot of trouble in the future, and it was the trouble he couldn't solve.

He brought a basin of cold water and poured all the confidants awake.Mundo and the others got up groggyly and found Lockerbie's body. No one asked more, but dealt with the body and blood first.

The old wolf called Mundo over and pointed to the note on the table.The half-elf with bald ears picked up the note, looked at it, put it under his nose and smelled it again, and said in a hoarse voice, "Is Harvey here to buy goods?"

Some say you can buy anything you want at the Thieves Guild.Such rumours must be exaggerated, but the Thieves Guild does buy and sell stolen goods, as well as contraband.

The old wolf smiled, nodded and said, "In addition to weapons, crossbows, poisons, hallucinogens and a set of travel pharmaceutical tools, he also bought some information from me."

Mundo flipped through the list of items again and muttered, "This is a layman..."

Go to the thieves union to buy contraband, who will write a list?This must be an outsider.

However, what the Thieves Guild fears most is the layman who can come to your door.Harvey was clearly a layman that the Water Snake Thieves Guild couldn't handle, and was especially dangerous.

The old wolf sighed helplessly, and said a common saying of thieves: "The tiger broke into the pigsty, and thought the pig couldn't see it..." After a pause, he asked again, "Is Harvey very strong?"

Mundo actually woke up before, he heard some conversations between Harvey and the old wolf, but he didn't dare to attract Harvey's attention.The old wolf now asked about Harvey's strength, and he said without hesitation: "I've never seen a tough one. The Murphy brothers around the boss may be able to beat him."

The boss in his mouth did not refer to the old wolf, but the backstage boss he shared with the old wolf, the underground king of the Northern State of the Fallen Leaf City, the Red Sir Brad.The Murphy brothers are the most capable bodyguards around Red Sir Brad.The thieves in the underground world of Uttar Pradesh, the city of fallen leaves, think that the Murphy brothers are invincible.

Mundo wasn't sure that the Murphy brothers, with their invincible reputation, would be able to beat Harvey.Although the old wolf doubted his opinion, he did not dare to be careless.

"Harvey is not a thief, he smells like an adventurer and a legionnaire... The origins of this group are not simple. I will try to find out what they are. Bring it to Mr. Anthony."

The old wolves are not qualified to meet the Red Jazz directly, and they will report important information to the Red Jazz's assistant Anthony.

Mundo nodded and added: "Mr. Anthony is very picky about his opponents. I'd better bring the portraits of those five people when I go to see him."

"Well, I will arrange this."
