Heart of the Castle

Chapter 100 The Surprising Guarantor

The streets of Dayan Village have always been crooked and sloping, and many branch roads lead to very remote corners. Those places can be said to be corners where crime gathers, and are also a paradise for liars, beggars, and thugs.

After Li Wei and his party left the underground black market, they walked on such a small road.

"Puke is the boss of the black market in Dayan Village. Many people know about it. But where is he hiding, there are very few people who know." Dwarf Master Blacksmith Brebe Stone Ax walked away with a huge backpack on his back. In the front, his loud voice can be heard clearly half a street away. "Young master, you are very lucky, I, Master Brebe, is one of them."

Levi looked at the increasingly remote path ahead, scratched his head suspiciously and said, "Mr. Brebe, didn't the boss of Puck stay in the underground black market?"

"Of course, my little master. Of course Puke won't stay there. The black market is not safe enough for him." The old dwarf shrugged.

"Isn't there an adventurer's guild in the black market, called some blood assassin's team, to maintain order?" Tang Na asked strangely.

"Blood Assassin, bah!" Hearing this name, the old dwarf seemed to have swallowed something disgusting suddenly, and spat viciously on the ground, saying, "The reputation of those bastards is basically zero. Cowards with knives behind their backs are maintaining order, and the Adventurer’s Guild here is absolutely lost.”

There was a faint crackling somewhere along the side of the street, and Sir Grace, who was at the end of the line, stopped suddenly and gave a warning in a low voice.

"Be careful, someone is watching us."

The team stopped immediately, and everyone looked around with vigilant eyes.However, the environment here is too messy and disorganized. Crooked houses are crowded together, and a large number of criminals with malicious intentions can be hidden in every dark corner.

The light of probing skills flashed in Li Wei's eyes. Not far from the upper left of the team, in the attic of a house sealed with wooden boards, there appeared a yellow light curtain that only he could see.

"In the attic on the upper left, behind the wooden-sealed window, there is a man holding a crossbow." Levi's lips moved a few times, and he said in a soft voice, "Sir Grace, are you sure?"

Sir Grace's lips twisted. When the voice sounded just now, with his keen perception, he could only vaguely confirm that the general direction was the upper right.Sir Grace couldn't do it if he made clear the specific location, number of people, and even the equipment in his hands like Li Wei.

Somewhat self-deprecatingly, Sir Grace held the silver fir longbow hidden in the cloak, and the cold and smooth touch made his self-esteem, which was on the verge of being damaged, slightly restored.

"When he moves, he dies," said Sir Grace, through gritted teeth.

"Ah, don't be too nervous, this may be a good thing. This is Puke's territory, and there will be no other forces. The voice just now should be made by the guards. We will see Boss Puke soon." " said the old dwarf, and continued to take two steps forward.

"Stand there, don't move." A thin voice ordered, and then from the front and rear of the narrow alley, several tall and thin figures appeared, with cloaks tightly wrapped around them, on the one hand to cover them Face, on the other hand, is also to fight against the cold fog in Dayan Village in the evening.

"The front is a private place, and uninvited guests are not welcome!" Although the high-pitched voice was harsh, the words were rather polite, "If you go the wrong way, you can turn back now. gone."

"I'm Brabe Stoneaxe from Jingle Bell's blacksmith shop. Go and tell Boss Puck that you have a big deal with him!" The old dwarf wiped his face with his hands, but the effect was not great. His hands, like his face, were covered in black charcoal.

"What big business?" asked suspiciously in a shrill voice, and then one of those tall and thin figures took two steps forward, took off his hood, and revealed an unhealthy blue-gray face.

Except for a pair of deep-set and sharp eyes, this face looks very ordinary, no different from the homeless and beggars that can be seen in the streets and alleys.The man looked at the old dwarf vigilantly, put one hand on his waist, and took a few steps forward cautiously.

"A big deal about weapons," Brebe replied, and then he took out some gems from his waist and held them up in one hand, so that the man could see the blue and red light rolling in the palm of his hand.

Obviously, the vigilance of that person was greatly dispelled by Brebe's gem offensive. He let out a grunt in his throat, and there was a lot of greed in his sharp eyes.

"It's not easy to see Boss Puck, dwarf." The high-pitched voice rang out again, and then the man held out his hand to Brabe.

A jewel drew a bright trajectory in the air and fell into the palm of the man.The man carefully picked up the gem with two fingers, and looked it up close to his eyes, his eyes became obviously hot because of the gem.

The time was not too long, the tall and thin man nodded, recognizing the value of the gemstone, then he slipped the gemstone into his cuff, and made a few gestures towards the people on the left and right.

Those thin and tall figures disappeared into the hazy night mist without a sound, just like when they appeared.

"Boss Puke will be very happy to meet you and discuss this big business." He said in a thin voice, turned around and led the way, and walked towards the end of the path.

An ordinary two-story building stands at the end of the path. Compared with the houses on the left and right sides, this house made of stone is not special at all except that it is relatively strong.Although there are a few windows on the surface of this building, they are all nailed to death with strong wooden strips. It seems that there is no way to enter this building except for the strong gate covered with iron sheets.

"Does the big boss of the black market live in such a house?" Li Wei muttered in a low voice, and the tall and thin man who was walking in the front suddenly turned around and showed a threatening smile at Li Wei.

"Boy, wait a minute, don't get dazzled by looking."

After saying this unclear sentence, the tall and thin man walked to the door of the building, tapped lightly a few times with his hands, then paused for a few seconds, and tapped regularly again.

After knocking for the third time, the door opened without warning. The tall and thin man didn't go in right away, but stood where he was, with his hands raised in front of him.

"Who is knocking at the door?" A hoarse voice asked from the shadows behind the door, followed by the sound of several crossbows being wound.

The tall and thin man snorted somewhat dissatisfied.

"It's me, Von Derick."

Obviously this tall and thin man had a certain status, there was a slight rustling sound from behind the door, and then the hoarse voice said in a low voice: "Mr. Von Derick, Boss Puck is waiting for you in the basement."

The tall and thin man smiled contemptuously, turned his head to Li Wei and the others and said, "Wait here for a while, you will see Boss Puck soon."

In front of everyone's eyes, a tall and thin man named Von Derek staggered into the darkness behind the door, and then the heavy iron-clad door made a piercing sound and closed heavily.

Li Wei stood quietly outside the door and waited.

Beside him, although Donner and Sir Grace looked calm, their breathing seemed a little heavy, and it was obvious that there was always a sense of guard in their hearts; the newly joined dwarf Brabe Stoneaxe kept talking. Muttering, seeming to be cursing in the unique language of dwarves; Crusader Swordsman is the quietest one, his flexible breathing has not changed from beginning to end, and he seems to be the most relaxed of all.But Li Wei knew very well in his heart that once something happened, the Crusader swordsman was the one who would react the fastest and most violently.

Alchemy warriors never tire, never slack.

After waiting for a not too long period of time, the door opened again, and the figure of Von Derich appeared in the door. He bowed casually, and said in his shrill voice: "Several , Boss Puke agrees to see you, come with me."

Li Wei followed Von Derick through the iron-clad door. The darkness could not cover the young man's eyes. In the field of vision of the probing technique, four extremely short men with crossbows in their hands The guy crouched in the corner behind the door, the crossbow arrows on the bowstring were obviously poisoned, glowing a faint green.
