Chapter 483: Taking advantage of others
Having been targeted?
Gothe frowned, but a sharp light suddenly lit up in his eyes.
Because he found that he seemed to have found the trace of the messenger.
There is a lot of traffic on the streets of the black market, but they are separated by a certain distance from each other and are very wary of each other.
Through the gaps in the hustle and bustle of the crowd, Gothe saw a figure that was hurriedly disappearing into the crowd, and was about to disappear at the entrance of the alley in the blink of an eye.
It was just his back, his face could not be seen clearly, and he was wrapped in a gray robe, which did not reveal the slightest information at all. However, Gothe recognized him at a glance. This person was one of the men who had shouted loudly in the lobby of the Bone Broken Tavern before.
When he left the tavern, he vaguely sensed that something was wrong. One of the strong men seemed to be looking at him strangely, so he immediately turned back to look for the owner of that look.
It's just that the other party reacted very quickly. When Gothe turned around to look, those strong men had expressions on their faces. They were either drinking or cursing, as if everything was just Gothe's illusion.
Although he did not discover the owner of the gaze in time, Gothe still believed in his intuition, so he quietly used the Mandora Magic Eye [insight] ability to observe several strong men.
In this process, their personal information including body contours and facial details are disassembled in the form of precise data, and then a corresponding model is built in the mind.
This figure's body data, including height, waist width, and leg length, all match that of a man in a tavern.
The people in the Bone Broken Tavern...···． .How could someone from the Xiu Anchor Gang appear in the black market and send himself such a confusing message?
Is it Santos's temptation? Or is there someone within the gang who wants to make a private deal? Or - is this a trap?
Many thoughts and speculations flashed through Gothe's mind in an instant, and he made a decisive decision the next moment.
He didn't care about visiting the black market anymore, and also used [Messaging Technique] to send a message to Lan Wen beside him. At the same time, he used his eyes to signal the back of the figure who was about to disappear into the alley, "Lan Wen, follow him."
In the dark and narrow alley, a figure wrapped in a gray robe walked quickly through it, looking back from time to time, his eyes under the hood shining with vigilance.
His leather boots stepped on the water-logged stone slabs, splashing water mixed with blood. The alleys of Black Sails City were originally a maze-like network.
The buildings on both sides are crooked. Some are low houses made of shipwreck planks, with dark green vines sprouting from the cracks in the walls; some are hollow sea cliff caves, with rusty iron chains hanging at the entrance, and dried sea beast skulls tied to the chains.
There are many abandoned houseboats, the door panels have long been rotten. If you open the door, you can pass through the cabin full of cobwebs, get out of the window on the other side, and fall into another alley.
Of course, the only people who can do this are the locals who hang out in the City of Black Sails all year round.
And this man in gray robe seems to meet this condition and knows this place well.
He flexibly shuttled through the alleys, and from time to time he would push open the broken door of a houseboat. Amidst the falling wood chips, he passed through the house that was filled with the smell of mold and seabird excrement. He pushed open the back window and jumped into another narrower alley.
In this way, he turned left and right, passed through several forked alleys, passed through three abandoned houses, and even climbed over half of a stone wall on a collapsed plank road. Only then did he finally slow down and let out a sigh of relief.
"You should get rid of it..." He whispered to himself.
He was about to turn around and dive deeper into the alley.
However, the next moment, he seemed to notice something, his face changed, and he suddenly raised his head to look.
At the corner in front of the alley, two figures quietly appeared.
Hhearing these words, the face of the man in gray robe, who was ready to move, changed, his Adam's apple rolled, he hesitated for a moment, and finally made a decision. Instead of spreading his legs and choosing to run away, he chose to take off the hood covering his head, revealing his face shrouded in the shadow of the hood.
It was one of the men who drank and ate fish in the lobby of the Broken Bone Tavern.
"You two are very clever." Gal clasped his fists in admiration.
Happy sincerely, he believed that both the location he chose during the summons and the route he took after leaving were close to "perfect."
Humbling, I didn’t expect that this could not get rid of Gao De and Lan Wen. I was actually very curious about how they did it.
"The Anchor Gang has actually been conquered by Davy Jones. It is one of Davy Jones' many teeth in the City of Black Sails.
"Santos is the gang leader on the surface, but in fact he is the pirate king's dog!" He gritted his teeth and said bitterly.
"The Anchor Gang is in charge of the dock. Once an outsider comes from the outside and docks at their dock, they will immediately find out the details of the visitor, including his possible identity, real estate, and most importantly, his family background."
"If it is determined that the person is a fat fish, the gang will immediately report the news to Davy Jones's Bloodsail Pirates."
"After the Blood Sail Pirates receive the news, they will immediately send people to kill people and steal wealth. Even the souls of the corpses of these fat fish will be used by him for necromancy experiments."
"In fact, I estimate that more than half of the local gangs in Black Sails City have been subdued by Davy Jones to collect money for him. "
"After you left the Bone Broken Tavern, Santos's cronies who were responsible for delivering the message also left and went straight to the upper city."
"You don't have to think about it to know that you have been identified as fat fish by Santos and reported to the Bloodsail Pirates." Gal told the whole story in one breath, and at the same time reminded:
"And, if I didn't If you guess wrong, you should have been targeted."
"Because, in the city of black sails, Davy Jones is no longer just a local snake, he should be called a local dragon, covering the sky with one hand, and I don't know how many people are there for him. Work hard and help him plunder the wealth. "
"For fat fish like you, the gang is responsible for reporting the news. After receiving the news, an informant will be responsible for marking and tracking as soon as possible. Davy Jones's men will choose a suitable opportunity to kill and steal the wealth.
David Jones does not need to do anything during this whole process, and he does not even bother to listen to the news. He can just wait for his men to hand over the treasure. "
"Already targeted?" Gothe raised his eyebrows.
"Yes," Gal explained: "The Bloodsail Pirates have a special marked potion made from bloodvine flowers. It is colorless and odorless to most creatures, but there is a kind of blood bee that likes bloodvine pollen but is extremely sensitive to the smell of bloodvine flowers. , can smell the smell of the potion from a very long distance. "
"The process of the Blood Sail Pirates is to first find a way to attach the blood vine flower potion to the fat fish, and then use the blood bees to find the location of the fat fish, and kill and steal the fat fish without any defense. "
"Think about it, after leaving the Bone Broken Tavern, have you had any physical contact with strangers? If so, there is a high probability that you have been hooked on the Blood Vine Flower Potion. "
"Physical contact with strangers?" Gao De heard this, carefully recalled it, and reacted instantly.
"The strong man at the entrance to the city!" His eyes suddenly became sharp.
Before buying bone, blood, thorn pulp at the first stall, a passing pirate reminded the two of them with a "kind heart" and patted Gothe on the shoulder.
In the current situation, there was actually no problem with the pirate's behavior, but after being reminded by Gal, Gothe sensed something was wrong.
With the attitude of preferring to believe in something that is present rather than in something that is not, for the sake of safety, Gaode immediately cast a [
Purifying Food] on himself.
The light of the spell flows through the body like running water, and the visible dust and invisible "dust" on the clothes are dispersed under the action of the spell.
"What do you call it?" After doing all this, Decai looked at Gal again, his eyes a little more scrutinizing. "Gall," the other party said.
"Are you from the Embroidered Anchor Gang?"
"Yes, I am a small leader of the Embroidered Anchor Gang. I am mainly responsible for the daily operations of the Bone Broken Tavern."
"Then are you betraying the gang?" Gothe became even more interested.
"Yes, I betrayed the gang." Gal still had a good attitude of answering all questions.
This frankness made Gothe not know what to say for a moment.
He pondered for a moment before continuing: "Why did you remind me? Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
"I'm very careful and usually don't expose myself... This isn't the first time I've reminded a fat fish being targeted, but it is indeed the first time a fat fish has discovered it." Gal said helplessly, spreading his hands.
"As for why I am here to remind you..." Gal was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "My parents died at the hands of the Bloodsail Pirates, and I have an sworn hatred with the Bloodsail Pirates and Davy Jones."
[Anger], [Hate].
"Like this.." He had quietly cast [Sense Emotion+] on Gal. At this moment, he felt the strong anger and hatred coming from Gal, and knew that this statement was most likely to be true.
“Wanting to take revenge on the Pirate King is not an easy task.” He said softly.
"It's not easy..." Gal lowered his head.
． ． ． ． ． It's not [powerlessness] but [expectation]. Faced with Gal's obviously somewhat irrational emotions, Gao Dewei narrowed his eyes and thought about the logical relationship.
"Davy Jones and his Bloodsail Pirates have dominated Black Sails City for so many years and committed countless evils. Even if they use cruel methods and eradicate the roots, there must be many people like you who have a blood feud with him and slip through the net. So you united in private to avenge him?" After a moment, Gothe said softly.
【Shocked】.
"What?" Gal wanted to deny it immediately, but Gothe, who sensed the emotion of "shock", was basically sure that his guess was correct.
"You should know the strength and means of Davy Jones much better than an outsider like me, but you still have hope, which means that you feel from the bottom of your heart that there is a chance of revenge being successful... Then in this alliance of yours, at least the leader should be very strong. He might be competing with Davy Jones. "
"Such a character cannot be unknown in the City of Black Sails, he must be a well-known figure. Let me think about it..." De Gu said as Gal changed again and again and gradually became more and more famous.
After thinking for two or three seconds, he clapped his hands and said, "The most legendary figure in the City of Black Sails in the past few decades, the most beautiful woman in the City of Black Sails, Sarah Fortune."
Gothe looked at Gal with a half-smile, "Am I right?"
Facing his rhetorical question, Gal turned pale and chose to remain silent.
Although Gal didn’t know how Gothe did it, he was certain that in front of Gothe, whatever he said would be wrong, and the best way to deal with it was to remain silent.
Seeing his reaction, Gothe did not pursue him. He smiled and said: "Anyway, thank you for reminding me."
Then, De waved and said to Land: "Let's do it."
In Gal's astonished eyes, Gothe and Lanwen actually left like this.
He stood there for a long time, and after confirming that the two of them had really disappeared, he let go and left the alley.
As a native of Black Sail City, Garr is very cautious in doing things and fully considers the possibility of being fished.
So the first time after leaving the alley, he chose to return to the Bone Broken Tavern and handle the chores in the tavern as usual.
It was not until evening that he left the back door of the Bone Broken Tavern and ran quickly in one direction in the darkness.
"My king, if I am targeted by Davy Jones, I will not be able to resist him." After leaving the alley, Lan Wen reminded him.
"Don't worry about this now, if all the fat fish, the pirate king, will take action personally, he will be too busy."
"And the more times he takes action, the easier it is to expose his traces, he will not do such stupid things." Gothe comforted Lan Wen.
The reason why Davy Jones has been on the bounty list for so many years and has always been unscrupulous. In addition to his own tyrannical strength, another very important point is that the Pirate King never shows up in public. He is a person who never sees the beginning or the end.
Powerful, ruthless and extremely cautious, this is what made Davy Jones the "Legendary Killer King" of Black Sail City.
He has long been entrenched in the City of Black Sails.
Many military mages sent by the Holy Empire to hunt down Davy Jones arrived at the Blue Flame Islands, but they did not even see the true face of Davy Jones. His body was hung on the iron chain of the parliament fortress on the top of the mountain in the City of Black Sails.
"Then what should we do next?" Lan Wen was silent for a moment and then asked.
"We'll wait until Santos gives us half of the payment for the goods."
"There are rules in the business. If the local gang is so rude," Gothe paused and said softly, "then don't blame us for taking advantage of others. "
