Chapter 463: [Insidious Gnome]
The first to notice that they were being watched were Cynthia and the other four, who were very alert and had long been used to this situation, and they didn't pay much attention to it.
Ye Ling has less experience in this area, after all, he is also very rich in battles, but the object is a demonic beast, but Ye Ling's sense is extremely keen, and he quickly realized that something was wrong, and whispered to the martial artist beside him: "Brother Yaris, since we entered the city, it seems that some people have been following us!"
Yaris responded, "Oh, did you find out too? Boy, you're very careful." β
Seeing his relaxed face, Ye Ling was surprised: "Brother Yaris, don't you think this is bad news for us, now that we are in a helpless zone, isolated and helpless, these people may have bad intentions." β
Yaris said lightly: "So what, don't worry, they are just some unruly gangsters, probably the little gangsters who control this territory." β
Ye Ling couldn't help but ask, "How do you know?"
Yaris explained: "Outside almost every city that is not in the city, there are some such gangs who specialize in finding strangers who are new to the city as their prey, and if they are observed to be weaker than themselves, they will look for opportunities to steal or even rob. But the really powerful gangsters will not do such low-level things, they control all kinds of money-making industries in the city to make huge profits, so these people will definitely not be too strong. β
Ye Ling suddenly said: "So that's the case, Brother Yaris, you know a lot." β
Yaris Haha smiled: "This is common sense in the impossible area, and you will soon be familiar with it, oh, some people are already starting to can't help it." β
Two children were happily chasing and playing in the streets, and when they came to the crowd, one of them tripped and was about to fall to the ground.
"Little friend, be careful," Hua Xin hurriedly stretched out her hand to pull him, but someone held her down, but it was Cynthia.
Black Widow's pretty face was expressionless, and she coldly spit out two words: "Get out!"
Then the palms of the two children turned black and spread upwards rapidly, showing signs of poisoning.
The poison was silent and without warning, apparently the work of the Black Widow.
Hua Xin frowned and said, "Captain Cynthia, he's just a child, you can't help but be too ruthless......"
Before he finished speaking, the faces of the two children suddenly changed, immaturity and innocence no longer existed, but became very mature, like adults, and also revealed the unique gangsterism of the people of the region, but their bodies were still similar to children.
Cold sweat was rolling on their faces, they knew that they had provoked someone they shouldn't have provoked, and they didn't know when they were poisoned, and there must be a very powerful master hidden among the other party.
Seeing that the black qi couldn't help but spread upward, and the arm was completely numb in an instant, the two realized that this poison was extremely terrifying, and suddenly gritted their teeth, and almost at the same time drew their daggers, fighting with a surge, but they didn't attack Cynthia and the others, but slashed their shoulders suddenly.
I only heard the sound of "snort", and the two arms fell to the ground in the scream, and a lot of the blood in them had already turned black.
Holding back the severe pain, the two people flew into the crowd as if they were gone.
Hua Xin was shocked, such a ruthless method, as well as that face, temperament and vindictiveness, it was obvious that children could not have it.
The warrior Ge Lin sighed and said: "Little sister, you are really too naΓ―ve, in a lawless area, how can there be two children running around on the street, and without the protection of adults, they would have been abducted countless times!"
Ye Ling nodded and said, "Hua Xin, if you pay attention to it, you will find that their skin is very rough, and they don't have all the tenderness of children at all, which is obviously disguised." β
Dirk explained in more detail: "The dwarf clan has the same short stature as the dwarf race, but the personality is diametrically opposite, and it is completely without the boldness, generosity, honesty and integrity of the dwarves, the race is insidious and cunning, good at disguise, if you help him just now, I am afraid you will be hijacked by him!"
Yaris smiled: "We have seen this kind of rat in many places, they are very stupid, they are always unable to hold their breath, they are easy to be used, they must have been sent by those little gangs after us, the purpose is to test us." If you really help that dwarf, it means that we are very visionary, inexperienced, and will not have any background, and they will let the dwarf boldly hijack you and threaten us. On the contrary, even if the conspiracy is revealed, they will only sacrifice two small roles, and this kind of dwarf with little ability is basically not much different from waste to the gangsters, and they will not feel sorry. β
Hua Xin's eyes widened, and cold sweat broke out, she really couldn't imagine that in this dark city, there would be traps and killing opportunities hidden everywhere, she was really naΓ―ve, so many flaws couldn't be seen, if she hadn't come out with Ye Ling to experience and go alone, she wouldn't have been sold.
After a long while, she said to Black Widow apologetically, "I'm sorry, Captain Cynthia, I just ......"
The black widow said lightly: "It's okay, you haven't been away from Hua Haixing for a long time, and you don't know a lot of things, but when girls are in the astral realm, they should pay more attention to everything around them, and don't trust anyone easily." β
Hua Xin said seriously: "Yes, Captain Cynthia, I have been taught!"
Cynthia's viciousness towards the two gnomes is deliberate, because in this crime-ridden city, you have to show your toughness and strength to deter those who are eyeing her. After the dwarf fled, the group of people who followed him also disappeared, because they found out through the hands of the dwarf that this group of outsiders was very tricky, even if the entire gang could be defeated, they would need to pay a heavy price, not to mention that the other party was so strong, maybe they had a great background, so they knew the difficulty and retreated.
Although there was a bit of turmoil when they first entered the city, everyone went smoothly after that, because the outermost gangsters in the city were the touchstone for entering the city, but those outsiders who could break through those small blackboards safely proved that they had the ability and qualifications to fight in the impossible zone, and the outlaws in the city would not be easily offended. What's more, with the march to the center of Edinburgh, the rulers of each area have become the big gangs, compared to the small blackboards composed of those who do not enter the stream, the areas controlled by the big gangs seem to be more stable and peaceful on the surface, because these big gangs mainly rely on the operation of casinos, bars and other entertainment industries to make profits, they have to ensure that their territory will not be often troubled, in order to attract more customers.
Therefore, if outsiders want to gain a foothold here, the safest and most orderly place is the place controlled by the big gangs.
Before starting the mission, Cynthia and her party seem to have Jihua in mind, and they go straight to a large hotel controlled by one of the biggest gangsters in Edinburgh.
"Welcome, do you need room service?" When a few people walked in the door, and a rabbit demon waitress greeted him with a sweet voice, Ye Ling couldn't believe that he was in the territory of the big gangster in Edinburgh's most blockhouse.
This service attitude, this smile like a spring breeze, is completely a well-trained professional waiter, this rabbit girl is also the person Ye Ling has seen since he entered the city, and there is no person who cannot bring temperament.
Maybe this is the difference between the underworld giants and the ordinary gangsters, the underworld giants are the rulers, they have their own rules and management systems, if there is any difference with legal local conquest, it is that the underworld giants take a more extreme way to do things, and they also operate illegal industries, of course, they occasionally do some shady things, but they will not do it in a grand manner like the gangsters, and openly break the rules of their own territory.
Although it belongs to the gang, Ye Ling has to admit that this hotel gives him a very good feeling, as if he has found a safe haven in this dangerous city, in stark contrast to the bad impression left by everything outside, he settled everything under the warm greeting of the waiter, and had dinner in the restaurant attached to the hotel, and the sky was completely dark.
Taking advantage of the night, several people came to another area of Edinburgh-Norford District, where Ye Ling finally saw the darkest side of Edinburgh that matched his imagination.
This is the area inhabited by the lowest classes of Edinburgh, mostly old outlaws, in the narrow, damp alleys, the humble bungalows, and the emaciated drug addicts, who are in a state of discouragement, greedily taking the cheapest drugs, and dripping with snot and saliva. There are also some old and ugly secret prostitutes with heavy makeup wandering around, flattering every man who passes by, but Ye Ling only feels that he is really unappetizing in his eyes, and Hua Xin is also frowning.
The party would not be interested in visiting this disgusting and ugly ghetto of Edinburgh if it wasn't necessary, as they had made an appointment to meet someone here tonight, the informant who had given the Bounty Guild the target information, and from whom they could more accurately learn about the recent situation and movements of their prey.
