Son of the Olden Days

Chapter 97: Fangs in the dark

In a blink of an eye, winter has arrived.

It is still a scene of heavy snow.

This was a peaceful year in Gray Screen, and there was nothing to say in general. People huddled up or hugged wine barrels around the fire, and spent the deserted winter of 715 of the dark calendar in their own way.

Sometimes, even if you forget that you are alive, time will push you forward.

Saul left the monastery after passing the Bar Mitzvah in early fall, but according to his own birthday, he was actually considered to be fourteen years old in the winter.

After winter, spring came as promised, and the town also ushered in the Eludomon celebration.

The townspeople gathered on the Green Square in the middle of the main street, and they rarely generously took out their own carefully cooked food, singing and dancing, carnival, it was very lively.

Sol took Irene's hand and walked through the winter snow scene. In the spring, Lorton's wedding at the foothills of Bat Mountain was on the agenda, and Irene was also noisy to go with him.

So Saul and Shuggs negotiated, and finally the three of them made a trip.

Then everyone saw Lorton and Waller who hadn't seen them for a long time, and they obviously looked more like men.

It's been a long time since I said it, but it didn't take long to count. It’s just a long absence between people, sometimes because of time, sometimes because of mood, and sometimes because of distance.

The whole wedding was very joyful, and the bride was also beautiful. At the end, the banquet was finished and the guests returned. It was heard that Sol and the others would return in a hurry within a day or two. That night, Lotton and Waller took Sol and Shuggs for a drink.

Knowing that Thor and Shuggs have been successfully promoted to the first rank, the four of them breathed the warm and cold air in the early spring, some sighingly talked about the childhood in Gray Screen, and even mentioned the cranial rat raised by Thor.

At that time, Lorton and Waller hadn't left Gray Screen. After the first batch of cranial rats raised by Thor grew fat, the four men surrounded the trembling little things in the cage with bright eyes.

After slaughtering one and changing another, an inhuman killing passed, and there was no shadow of the devil soul at all.

Facts have proved that there is really no shortcut to the pursuit of power.

Life will not always be ups and downs, but on the other hand, it will not always be as calm as water.

When the dark calendar year 716 was about to enter the summer, three strange guests quietly came to Gray Screen.

They wore long robes with their faces hidden in their hoods, and they did not cause the slightest disturbance in the town. This kind of attire is too common, and the guards of the town didn't have much interest. They just asked for a few sentences and let them go.

After the three of them turned into the lane, they met with the people who had come to approach them.

"Captain, I didn't get any valuable news." A burly man with a gloomy appearance, named Wright, came to contact. He was an outpost arranged by this group. First, come to Grey Screen Town to find out the news.

The one known as the captain among the three black-robed guests, Ivan Semir, raised his hand and lifted his hood, revealing a middle-aged handsome face with distinct lines. Two well-groomed beards, neatly combed blond hair, and a very gentleman look.

Hearing the report from his subordinates, he didn't care about it either. If information such as intelligence has not been deliberately laid out in advance, it is not easy for a temporary presence to obtain some accurate information from outsiders.

At present, there are roughly three organizations that provide information to the outside world in Gray Screen.

One is a female power that was established not long ago. It is said that the name of the predecessor is very funny, called ‘Prostitute • Female Guild’, and later changed its name to ‘Blood Rose’. According to Wright, he has been in contact with them, and only inquired about trivial matters.

The second organization is a little bit of intelligence. They don't even have a name. They are hidden in the private sector and mainly specialize in intelligence. But Wright's inquiries were still the same, and he didn't get any valuable news.

The remaining organization, the Thieves Guild in Grayscreen Town, Wright has not yet contacted.

They have close contacts with thieves organizations in other towns, and naturally there is also a flow of intelligence. However, although they also sell intelligence, intelligence is not their main business, it's just an occasional quick cash.

The so-called intelligence mainly focuses on outsiders in the small town, and pays less attention to the locals.

When new faces appear in the town, they will secretly pay attention. The degree of attention depends on the strength of the newcomer, whether it is wealth or personal force.

On the other hand, it depends on whether this person will have any unknowable influence on the town and change the existing pattern.

However, the end result of most intelligence is some desperate homeless people, poor people, thieves, and criminals. These professions appear most frequently.

Yiwen raised his hand and gently twirled the tail of his beard. After listening to Wright's narration patiently, the expression on his face was calm.

His elder brother Barton Semir lost his track in Greyscreen last fall, and Evan knew very well that his elder brother might no longer be in this world.

For the mercenaries who have been rolling in the wild all the year round, there is no such thing as missing. If they don't appear for a long time, they are actually dead, otherwise they will not hide in the wilderness.

Yiwen came over this time, collecting the blood debts of his brother is the right thing to do, but first to find out who the enemy is.

If it can't be found, the matter may be too small, or it may be too secretive. Of course, it is also possible that the subject of the investigation has too deep background and no one dares to move.

Although the intelligence is currently blocked, the situation does not seem optimistic, but Yiwen is still very calm. Because before coming to Gray Screen Town, he actually had two thread ends in his hand, and his brother's death would not be invisible.

One thread was a prostitute named Fenty, who was said to have been a slightly glamorous warbler on the streets of Gray Screen. The elder brother seemed to have lost track in her house in the end.

Then the woman disappeared without accident, her whereabouts are unknown, and her residence was also temporarily leased. It is said that it was a **** old man who came out to pay the rent.

After his brother Button disappeared, his mercenary team naturally dispersed.

However, some of the mercenaries had seen the appearance of the prostitute. Yiwen also paid a sum of money for this, so that the mercenaries had searched for Fendi's whereabouts in several adjacent territories.

A person can change his appearance and voice in order to hide his identity, and he can even live a life that ordinary people can't imagine. After waiting for a period of time, no good news came, and Yiwen decisively gave up this time-consuming and labor-intensive thread that may have no results.

The other thread is a guy named Ariel in the brother's mercenary team. After the brother disappeared, he accidentally exposed his feet in Yiwen's and Yanyue's routine.

After some simple methods, Ariel confessed that some information about his brother had flowed out from him, and the recipient of the information was an official thieves of the Thieves Guild in Gray Screen.

After asking what he should ask, Ariel has naturally sent away, becoming the first drop of blood in the brother's blood debt.

Although the suspicion points to the Thieves Guild in Grayscreen Town, Yiwen certainly does not simply think that they are the murderers. Helping people do things to find out information or something, it was originally a commonplace for these dirty rats.

Everything, you have to wait for your own person to arrive, and talk about it before you read it.

Therefore, for the Thieves Guild in Grayscreen Town, Yiwen is prepared to follow this thread and sort it out himself.

"Let's go, let's meet the group of mice in other places first. Also, go to the individual and take the rest to town." After thinking about it, Ivan raised his head and waved his hand. Everyone followed Wright's The guide began to move towards the thieves’ guild in Grayscreen.

Yiwen's own mercenary team originally had twelve mercenaries, all of whom were accustomed to blood-drinking, but recently lost four of them in a secret realm.

Before the situation in Gray Screen Town was clear and the enemy was unknown, the eight people did not all flock to the town, but were divided into two groups to deal with unexpected changes.

Ivan's three black robes plus Wright, who came first to find out about the news, are the first batch, and the rest are waiting outside Grayscreen Town, in an abandoned forest ranger hut in the wilderness.

In the reception room of the thieves’ guild in Grayscreen Town, Yiwen met the target person, an official thief named Carlos, nicknamed ‘Night Curtain’, and the chairman of the thieves’ guild in Grayscreen Town Chain.

Recently, there have been some changes in the personnel structure of the Thieves Guild in Gray Screen. It is said that the inauguration of the president, Fang Fang, was suspected of encountering an accident in a mission, and Deacon Freel did not know what to do. Chains naturally became the actual power holder of the Thieves Guild now.

At this moment, there is a smile on Chains’ face, but the guard in his heart is tightened to the apex. He can feel the aura of the second-order Yiwen. When has this girl been promoted to the second-order? Gee tut, plus his brother Barton, this pair of second-tier brothers is not easy to provoke!

Ivan sat elegantly behind the round table for the guests, and took a sip of the cheap bitter tea served by the Thieves Guild.

"According to my brother's mercenary named Ariel, he told the local thieves guild about some of my brother's situation, and finally the news flowed to you. I came for this matter." Yiwen's gaze was gracious. Past the face of Carlos, the official thief.

"Yes, it is true." Carlos nodded slightly and admitted without hiding that since he took over this business, all the minutiae that this business extends naturally have to face.

"So, where's it going? After the information passes through your hands." Yiwen asked with a smile.

"It's been sent out long ago, and the buyer is an old guy with wrinkles." Carlos shrugged.

Yiwen kept a smile on his face, but his mood was a little gloomy.

It's the **** old man again, probably the same person who helped the prostitute or girl to rent the house. It was obviously disguised by disguise, and the thread might be broken again here.

"It looks like an old man, but I know who he is." Carlos added an unhurriedly after observing Ivan's look.

"Oh? Who is it?" Evan asked with interest.

Carlos didn't answer, he just smiled playfully, he could clearly feel the breath of the second-order Yiwen, but the rules are the rules.

Yiwen smiled clearly, and threw a bag of silver wolves on the small round table. The amount of silver coins in it was very large. This tossing broke off the string that tied the mouth of the bag, and several coins rolled out.

Carlos didn't have any greedy look on his face, nor did he rush to reach out his hand quickly, just speak softly.

"To be precise, it's a member of our guild, a little guy, Shuggs."
