Water Capital, 12:01 noon.

Mouse Lane -

An even number is a good number, especially for the master of the water capital.

Because an even number means that they can restrain each other, and they are not the dominant family like an odd number.

Therefore, the large gangs in Mouse Lane have always been even numbers, more or less, never odd numbers.

Geralt's ancestor was just a gangster who lived in the local area at first, but he caught up with the opportunity and was supported by the high-level officials of the water capital to make up an 'even number'.

So Geralt took over the power from his father who was seriously injured in a fight, and kept reminding himself not to try to have any idea of ​​a single family. The gang boss who had this idea even lost his gang now.

But it is also because of the balance policy of the top management of the water capital that the various gangs in the rat alley have blood feuds. Geralt knows that a huge crisis is approaching, but he has no helpers except his own.

That's why he thought that he had to meet the person in charge of the White Hands Association in person. Apart from showing respect, he was also worried about handing over such an important matter to his subordinates.

But when he saw the so-called 'can call the shots', he still couldn't help feeling suspicious.

so young?

The black-haired young man in front of him was at most twenty, or even younger. If he hadn't seen the same brooch on his chest as mentioned in the information, Gerald would have thought that he was a rich young man who strayed into Mouse Alley.

What is in his heart will not be shown on his face. Geralt has long been familiar with this basic skill.

Regardless of what he looks like, and regardless of gender, Geralt needs to get information from him that is related to the life and death of the family.

Seeing that the big bird that attacked the child was cut into several pieces, Lin Tianci was also a little afraid of the invisible blade of the other party, and pointed to the alley where he came out before and said:

"If you want to avenge your subordinates, I have to say that they found fault first."

Brother Lin obviously misunderstood the other party's intention.

Geralt winked at his subordinates, and seven or eight men in black suits who followed him walked around Lin Tianci and walked into the alley on the other side, and soon there were kicks and screams from inside.

"I don't have men who rob outsiders on my own territory. Those are just a group of gangsters who have crossed the border. What I want to tell you is not about this."

Immediately, Geralt reached out and took out a piece of paper from his pocket and unfolded it. There was a vivid pattern on it.

To say it is lifelike is still a bit modest, the painting is almost like a photo, and the painted objects are particularly clear.

It was a mask, mainly with black as the base color, a bit like the clown mask used on the stage, Lin Tianci could even see the teardrop-shaped decoration on the mask.

"I want to know information about this mask, but your subordinates refuse to tell me, so I have to ask someone who can make the decision."

Lin Tianci's face was full of bewilderment, where did I get my subordinates?

"Sorry, you may have found the wrong person. I came to Water City for the first time. I have no subordinates at all, and I don't know anything about this mask."

Geralt stared at Lin Tianci, the surrounding atmosphere seemed to freeze, only the sound of the terrified bear crying from the other side came faintly.

The time seemed to be very long, but in fact it was only two or three seconds. Geralt took out another piece of paper and unfolded:

"Since you don't know about this mask, what about this one?"

Like the mask, the piece of paper is also very clear like a photo, with a small pile of blue gemstones stacked together drawn on it, and you can even see conspicuous star patterns on each gemstone...

Fragments of the extremely blue glowing star!

"Looks like you know this"

Seeing Lin Tianci's facial expression, Geralt guessed it.

"So, can you take a moment to talk about this matter? I know there is a coffee shop not far from here."

Lin Tianci hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Go to other planes to find fragments. The most important thing is not to conflict with the local snakes. It would be best if you can get their assistance.

Although Lin Tianci still doesn't understand the situation, the pile of gemstones drawn on that piece of paper must be fragments of the extremely blue star. This may be a clue, so Brother Lin reluctantly agreed.

12:01 noon

When Gerald and Lin Tianci were talking, no one noticed that the football, which was used as a toy by the children before and ignored because of the falcon attack, slowly rolled on its own, as if there were two hands pushing behind it. All the same, roll into the dark alley on the other side of Fountain Square.

As the sun gradually dimmed due to the high wall, the ball stopped next to a garbage can.

There was only a sound like a zipper being pulled from the ball, and a hole was opened in the round ball, and a mass of flesh-colored stuff squeezed out from it.

It looked like dough, but also like gel, but the movement was very fast. In the blink of an eye, the flesh-colored thing split into two parts, and gradually took on the shape of a human.

In the end, it became two grown men standing next to the football, one of them had short hair, looked like a broom-like man and complained:
"Can't your 'second pocket' find a better way to move? I'm about to throw up."

The other man looked very gloomy, rolled his eyes and ignored his companion's complaints, and said in a low and hoarse voice:
"Where is the person who ordered the joint?"

"I'm here."

The voice suddenly appeared opposite the two, a wall in sight deformed, and a person wrapped in a black robe appeared. He wore a black clown mask on his face, with a teardrop-shaped mask on it. decoration.

"You are late, 1 minute behind the scheduled time."

The short-haired man made a gesture of surrender:

"Give us a break, you don't know how hard it is to find a way to get in safely, I did a lot of work to get a ball to those brats in the square."

He said again:

"You don't feel at ease on our territory, so you chose Gerald's territory as the trading location. You are somewhat conscious of causing trouble for others."

"Humph."

The man in black didn't continue to struggle with this question, but said softly:
"Did you bring something?"

The short-haired man asked back:
"What do we want?"

The man in black stretched out his hand, took out a leather suitcase from the air, and opened it.

There are layers of velvet inside, and when the velvet is lifted, there are three blue gemstones of different sizes and shapes. In terms of the value of the gemstones, they are definitely the top grade among the top grades.

But they are not pure sapphires, but irreplaceable, extremely blue stars.

"I want to inspect the goods first."

The man in black picked up one and threw it to the short-haired man, who was not polite, just holding the gem with his bare hands.

The ostensible identities of these two people are members of a gang in Mouse Lane, but their real identities are actually spies sent by the Yellild Empire on the other side of the Gray Ridge Mountains.

Yellild is a mountain country. Although there are high-quality ore, there is very little arable land, which cannot support more people.And the people are the foundation of a country. Without people, there is no army, and they cannot become stronger.

There are only two ways to leave the mountains.

The east side is blocked by the Kingdom of Tahaka under the Gray Ridge Mountains, not to mention the even more powerful Kingdom of Palendesh, who cannot get out at all, and the north is facing the capital of water.

For the Yellilde Empire, if they want to develop and grow, they must remove the obstacles in front of them, and fighting head-on, whether they go east or north, is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

Since you can't fight head-on, let's do something different.

A famine broke out in Palen Dexiu five or sixty years ago. Although the country moved quickly and the famine did not cause much impact, many people chose to flee to the water capital.

The generation of the grandfathers of these two people entered among the refugees at this time.

They have been trained as secret spies since they were young, passing information one by one to the Yellilde Empire, and they are also plotting how to directly eliminate the water capital.

Although in their generation, there is not much loyalty left, but as long as they do well, they will no longer be a marginal person wandering in the gray area, but go to the empire to enjoy the blessings as nobles, which is of course very motivating.

The key to success lies in the 'sapphire' brought by the man in black.

It doesn't matter who this person is or what his name is. The plan itself comes from the orders of the Yellilde Empire. He is only in charge of transporting the goods, and the two sides are not on the same road.

The short-haired man took a look at the gemstone, stretched out his hand and opened the jacket, and there were eight shiny daggers stuck inside the clothes. The reflected sharpness was tingling just by looking at it.

At the same time, there was the sound of something being cut off, but there was no real thing cut off, but the already dim sunlight suddenly became darker, as if the sunlight itself was cut off.

The light dimmed, but the sapphire in his hand still exuded a charming blue light, and even twinkling star patterns could be seen.

This means it is genuine and not fake.

"Look at the goods, what do I want?"

"There's a little surprise about this."

The short-haired man took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket, and the thin paper seemed to have dense lines drawn on it.

"We failed to find out the detailed disarming method of the security system, but we found the road map. To make up for it, we also found the detailed information of the guards, including home addresses and ability descriptions."

The short-haired man smiled:

"But you shouldn't care about this little accident."

The man in black really didn't care, he took the paper in the short-haired man's hand, unfolded it, and handed the box to him casually.

"The transaction is over. You know we don't mind using transactions to achieve our goals. I hope there will be opportunities to cooperate next time."

"No problem, but please don't choose such a fucking place next time."

Even he himself didn't believe what he said.The man in black, or the organization behind the man in black, was very cautious, so cautious that he was a little dazed.

Watching the man in black merge into the wall again and finally disappear, the short-haired man greeted his companions:
"Oh, I will continue to turn into a ball and go back."

"Stop talking nonsense, just say what you want to do."

The short-haired man did nothing wrong. After the sound of a zipper being opened, the two of them turned into a ball of mud again and were stuffed into the ball. Finally, the football rolled out of the alley and fell into the gutter on the side of the street. ….
