He took Tassa to a small house on the second floor of the tavern, and the strong man ordered the wine servant to continue cleaning, and then closed the door.
This is a place to entertain customers with special needs. Only twenty-five copper eagles are collected in one night, so the environment is not very elegant.
There was an unpleasant smell of mold on the small bed, and the bedding was wrinkled, as if it hadn't been taken out for a long time to wash and dry.
A corner of the cracked wooden table was missing, and the cracks were stuffed with black flocs, and the tabletop looked greasy and dirty.
But Tassa was too lazy to care about it. He sat by the bed, quietly waiting for the other party to speak.
It's been a long time since Lord Najib replaced your seat, why hasn't even come to the tavern?Even if you are no longer responsible for this, you can have a drink.
His nickname is Black Hammer, the guardian of the tavern, and a member of the skeleton finger.
It sounds scary, but it is one of the many mice in the royal capital's black street.
The rats formed cliques and divided the territory, forming huge and loose organizations according to the different business operations.
Behind these underground organizations are more or less the shadows of great nobles or wealthy businessmen, and the skeleton fingers are no exception.
But unlike domestic dogs, most mice will not choose to be loyal to one person. As long as there is a benefit, they can do things for anyone.
Less nonsense, Tassa said bluntly, "You call Sylvie, swineherd, silver rings, and pottery jars tonight, right in this tavern, I have something to arrange."
These people are all underground trolleys. Black Hammer was stunned. Is they enough?
I said, this is a good business.He shrugged, because you have done a lot of things for me, I specially found you.
Follow the steps of dealing with the Black Street, you must first find the contactor, and then the other party will determine whether to take on the task.
After the two agree, the linker will delegate the task to the appropriate candidate and charge a fee.
Of course, this process does not have any contract or written proof to guarantee it, and it is completely unknown whether it can achieve the expected results of the employer.
Generally speaking, the more famous the organization is, the more concerned about its credibility, and the commission fee is higher. Newly advanced organizations charge low fees, but they are prone to losing both people and money.
These mice and the city patrol formed a delicate balance, jointly maintaining the superficial order of the capital.
Before entering the palace and becoming a palace guard, Tassa served in the patrol team and was responsible for handing over some inconvenient matters to various organizations in the Black Street.
Therefore, he knew all the rat communities with the largest power in the royal capital, and saved time to deal with the counters.
As for the reason why we chose the skeleton fingers, it is simply because they are not so thoroughly broken.
Can I ask, who are you doing things for now?Black Hammer asked after hesitating for a moment.
Tassa did not answer, but instead stretched out his thumb and pointed at the direction of the palace behind him.
Whether it is the patrol or the rat, most people only know that he became an imperial guard, but they don’t know that he was selected as the personal guard of the fourth prince by Wimbledon III, and went to the border town with His Highness.
Within the six months since they disappeared, they should have thought they had been in the palace.
Besides, I was just pointing in the direction of the palace, not lying, the royal family was not the only one, Tiffico, and Roland Wimbledon was also a member of the royal family.
I got it, he nodded, but Sylvie and the swineherd are no longer there. Can I choose my own hands?
What's wrong with them?
Dead.Black Hammer said hatefully that there was a conflict with the people of Dream Water last winter. They sold poppy flowers and sleeping ferns to the northern city area, and Casas led everyone to drive them back.Silvi was scratched in the neck, and the blood could not be stopped, while the swineherd was filled with the canal.
Tassa frowned. The patrol team would not pay attention to such things. They would even deliberately provoke the rats to bite each other every once in a while to control their strength and number. As for the dead, no one would care.
That's OK, but you have to remember that you have to be someone in the tavern.
……
After leaving the underground trolley, Tassa took a deep breath.
The humid smell in the tavern made him feel a little nauseous until the hot air poured into his lungs, which slightly dispelled the turbid and dull feeling.
Although Black Hammer invited him to wait in the tavern and claimed to bring out good wine to entertain him, Tassa was unwilling to stay in a small place for too long.
If something happens, he will not be able to detect something strange at the first time.
Next he decided to go to the inner city and find a reliable hotel to book a room for tonight. As for the soldiers of the First Army, they were already very skilled in camping at night and didn't have to worry about it themselves.
After nightfall, Tassa returned to the underground trolley again.
At this time, the tavern was open normally, and customers were in and out from time to time. He first watched in the dark for a while before following a drinker into the house.
As a low-end tavern in the outer city, most of the people who come here to drink are civilians, and the wine is also cheap and inferior ale. Ten bronze eagles can drink several large bowls in a row.
Amid the noise, he quickly found Black Hammer's men, who were sitting around a partition against the wall, with a white finger bone on the side of the table.
Tassa walked over quietly, and someone immediately gave up his position.
Good evening, sir, the silver ring and the clay pot nodded and bowed.
I will introduce these two people to you. She is the little finger. Black Hammer patted the little spot next to her, and then pointed at the young man next to her, Hilfox, who has only recently joined the skeleton finger.
Fox?Tassa's eyes stopped on the other party, who looked a little reserved and bowed his head to greet him.
There are very few guys with all the surnames in our industry. He laughed and lost all his gambling, his wife ran away with others, and even sold the house, and had to join the black street.Don't worry, he used to live in Beicheng District and occasionally visited underground trotters.
The silver ring and the clay pot are both old acquaintances, and their little fingers look no different from ordinary wanderers. However, this Hilfox and Tassa felt a little strange... His appearance and expression were indeed very similar to the lost person who became exhausted after experiencing drastic changes, but there was something indescribable in his eyes, just like... He thought about it, but he couldn't get an accurate answer.
Forget it, since you live in the North District and are an acquaintance in the tavern, there should be no big problem.And the first task he had to complete was to transport fugitives, and there was no risk.
Listen, things are not complicated.The above did not want to see that the number of people fleeing in the East continued to increase, and the food used for relief was decreasing every day. If this continued, the riot would happen sooner or later, and it would be much more difficult to deal with it at that time, so we should find a way to get out of the royal capital.
What do you need us to do?Black Hammer asked.
It was very simple, spread a message that the western border was reclaiming wasteland, and the local lord was willing to accept the fugitives, and the escorted mercenaries and fleets had already set off and would arrive at the canal dock in three days.What you have to do is spread this news to those idiots outside the city, and the specific details can be supplemented freely, the more they look, the better.
But...if there were no mercenaries and fleets at that time, it would be useless to say that it was similar.said the silver ring.
Of course there will be these, Tassa smiled.
Ah?He was stunned. Could it be that there is really a lord of the Western Region who wants to accept them?
You idiot, Black Hammer slapped him in the head. Of course, you have to play the full set of Ah. After being transported to the Western Region, they can still walk back to the king with two legs?As for how to deal with them, let the local lord have a headache.He looked at Tassa. It was indeed not a difficult task, but if it was paid...
Tassa stretched out two fingers, twice.My new employer is no better than the patrol team. He just wants to see the results as soon as possible. Golden Dragon doesn't make much sense to him.He smiled slightly, I said, this is a good business.
