In the early morning, as the sun rose, the docks of Port Carlin began to be busy again, many topless coolies were squatting at the berths or warehouse doors, silently waiting for someone to hire them, and several ships that arrived in the middle of the night were also docked under the command of the port officials, everything seemed to be so orderly.

But as long as you stay here for a few years, you will find that in fact, this qiē is all an illusion, the whole dock has been quite tense in the past two days, there are gang people everywhere in every corner, some are members of the Black Sails Guild, and they are investigating suspicious places, and some are spies sent by other forces, after all, Artemis . Eun Trili's name is so scary that many people want to confirm the authenticity of the news so that they can respond in time.

A barefoot boy of twelve or thirteen years old, wearing only jumping shorts, trotted through the crowd, silently observing the pattern around the dock, and then plunged into a large pit used to pile chores and garbage, cautiously looked back, and after making sure that no one was following, he dug a few times in the corner, and soon revealed a wooden plank with a pull ring, which opened to reveal a tunnel leading below.

Without any hesitation, he jumped straight in, followed by the sealed entrance, and then passed through the dark passage to an empty cavern, where a dozen people were sitting in the corner with a depressed face, one of which was the legendary thief Arcanis.

However, he looks a little wolf now, not only does his whole body exude a foul smell, but his hair has not been washed for an unknown amount of time, and the whole thing is stuck together, which looks a little disgusting.

"Say it. What's going on out there now? Arcanis, who heard the footsteps, asked without looking up.

With excellent listening. He could tell how tall or thin a person was by the sound of footsteps. Even walking habits, so you don't need to look up at all, and you immediately know that it was the boy you hired who came back.

"Not good! Outside there were people from the Black Sails Guild, nearly a hundred of them. They sealed off all the roads, even the sewer entrances. Now it's impossible to get out except for a hard break. ”

The boy gasped as he spoke of the information he had gathered, his eyes occasionally sweeping over the face of the legendary thief. He was curious now. What exactly these guys are doing in front of them actually makes the underground forces of the entire Port Carlin nervous.

Arcanis didn't pay attention to the other party's curious eyes, grabbed a handful of gold coins from his pocket, and threw them casually, the gold coins fell into the boy's hand as if they had eyes, and then he asked again: "What about the city, is there anything big happening in the city?" ”

One by one, the boys who had been paid put the gold coins in their mouths and bit them, carefully put them in the inner pockets of their trousers, and bared their black teeth. He smiled and replied, "Of course!" Last night, McJid, the senior leader of the Camel Guild, was tortured into a fool, and his men died. It is said that all of them had their throats cut out. Now Port Carlin is in a frenzy, and there are rumors everywhere that it's Artemis. Eun Trili is back. ”

"Artemis. Ntrili? Arcanis scoffed and waved his hand lightly.

The boy understood that this was to let him go, so he immediately bowed, turned around and disappeared into the dark tunnel. He just wanted to make some money to improve his poor life, so he didn't want to know where these people came from and what their purpose was.

All of us who make a living in Port Carlin know that the more you know, the more dangerous it is, and that you may be wiped out at any point, so you don't know anything and live longer.

Seeing that the outsiders had left, the legendary thief stood up and looked at his silent subordinates, and sighed slightly: "Hey...... Let's talk about it, what should we do now? ”

He now felt that Port Carlin was simply inherently at odds with the Shadow Thief, and that almost every time he tried to gain a foothold here there would be an accident, as it had been a few years ago, and this time it was even more unlucky.

The Black Sails Guild, which had originally tried the "Bliss Dream", was ready to agree to give up the two streets, but who knew that a leader didn't know what kind of nerves he had, and suddenly instructed his subordinates to take it by force, and he was forced to kill the killer and kill the whole room of people.

Normally, this matter should be considered over, and the guild can continue to try to get a foothold by changing places and families.

But I don't know if it was cursed by the goddess of doom, in the process of transferring the goods, it was discovered by a patrol of guards, but the other party immediately blew to the whistle, and suddenly a large number of patrols rushed over, they had no choice but to fight and retreat, and retreated to the dock, hiding in the cellar dug by the shadow thieves many years ago.

What's even more unfortunate is that the riot caused by the retreat made the Black Sails Guild find the body of the dead leader, and immediately blocked the entire port area, everyone was blocked here, and they couldn't advance or retreat, and the only thing to be thankful for was that the goods were still there.

"Head, we need to make contact with the forces outside now, and it's best to sneak out a few people to see which guilds in the city are willing to eat this batch of goods right now. As for the territory, let's give it up first, judging from the current situation, the underground forces in Port Carlin are about to start to fall into turmoil, and our forces are too small to stand at all. A thief in his mid-thirties said.

He is the contact person of the Shadow Thieves Guild here, and he is responsible for collecting intelligence all year round, and he knows that there is an undercurrent in the city at this moment, even if there is the legendary thief Arcanis, these few people will not be able to make any climate, it is better to make a fortune and leave early.

After all, although Arcanis is powerful, he is not a qualified administrator, otherwise the bloodhead would not let this most loyal subordinate do murder and other things all day long, and would have given him a guild to run.

Another thief frowned and asked, "But who can eat such a large batch of goods?" We are now on the bounty of the Black Sails Guild, and the "Dream of Bliss" is so conspicuous, I'm afraid no one will take over at this time. ”

"On the contrary, there is still a guild in the city that has the ability to take over, and they are not afraid of any force, and the most important thing is that it is also very close to the docks, which can be reached by just a few streets,"

Arcanis, who had been having a headache about how to handle the goods, heard this, and his eyes immediately lit up, and he asked loudly: "Say it quickly!" Who is it?! ”

You must know that since the port was blocked, their ship has been seized by the Black Sails Guild, and the goods can only be stacked here dirty and smelly. The damp cellar will inevitably rot and deteriorate over time, so it must be disposed of as much as possible.

The middle-aged thief didn't sell it, and said two words bluntly: "Phantom!" ”

"Phantom? How come I've never heard of ......," Arcanis frowned and whispered.

Before leaving, he had seen a piece of information from the bloodhead about the various powers of Port Carlin, and it was clear that the name had been mentioned.

Seeing the puzzled expression on Arcanis' face, the middle-aged thief explained with a wry smile: "The Phantom has just risen recently, and our new information has not been sent back yet. Their new leader, a young man named Bois, who appeared to be only fourteen years old, had only arrived in Port Carlin about half a month ago, and who had no idea how he had come into contact with Hamida, the contractor of the East End Colosseum, and was now engaged in a major project to change the way the gang operated. We are still collecting information about him, but since he dares to go against the people of the Camel Guild, he will naturally not be afraid of the Black Sails Guild, and he is a target worth contacting. ”

"Fourteen?!" Arcanis instantly showed an unconcealable surprise, and the image of a silver-haired and silver-eyed person unconsciously appeared in his mind, and he immediately narrowed his eyes and asked, "What does this young man look like?" What are your personal strengths? ”

"Short black hair, brown eyes, medium build, self-proclaimed druid, and terrifying personal strength, once dismembered an adult fire giant with a long knife in the arena, killed twenty heavily armed mercenaries with magic skills, and finally even killed a Tyrannosaurus rex. He is characterized by his exceptional speed and reflexes, almost on par with you. ”

Without any concealment, the middle-aged thief told the information he had gathered. In his eyes, this young man named Bai Yi must have hidden a huge secret behind it, maybe it was disguised by a terrifying creature such as a dragon, and it is unlikely that a normal human would have such terrifying skills at this age.

"Interesting...... I think maybe it's an old friend. I'll go back after dark and make sure for myself, and if it's him, we'll be out of it in no time. With that, Arcanis returned to the corner and sat down, and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

Based on the description just now, he felt that Bai Yisi was most likely Henry himself, and according to the news from the merchants, the war in the north had come to an end, so the timing was completely consistent.

Of course, there is one of the most important reasons, that is, he sincerely hopes that Henry will be in Port Carlin, so that he can easily complete the task delivered by the other party with the help of the other party, and he does not have to worry about intrigues.

Although as a legendary thief, he can turn the entire city upside down by himself, but in addition to increasing the hatred of the local forces towards the shadow thief, he will not get any benefit at all, not to mention that the blood head told him before leaving, don't go on a killing spree, so the past two days can be described as quite aggrieved, and he has already accumulated a stomach full of resentment.

Arcanis wanted to work with Henry again, as he saw his ally as not only thoughtful, but also direct and sharp. In Askatra, it took almost no effort for the other party to digest the territory that originally belonged to the shadow thieves, and nothing happened for months in a row, which was unbelievably stable.

What's more, Henry has always kept his promises, so the cooperation between the two sides is very pleasant, especially after the successful cultivation of "Elysian Dream" in the sewers, the status of the blood head in the Shadow Council has risen rapidly, and it may be possible to replace the current supreme leader in the future and enter Am's six-member council.

On the premise that the form is good, Arcanis believes that the other party will not cheat him......
