Therefore, Lefran constantly tried to make Li Ke stand on her side and pestered Li Ke to stop him from sleeping. In the end, she got what she deserved: She was politely tied up by Li Ke with vines and thrown out of the window of the master assassin. As for how she came in, Li Ke was too lazy to ask. After all, wasn't it natural for mages to be invisible? Just when he could finally sleep peacefully, his doorbell rang.
"Sir, it's time for your meeting. The orphanage's schedule is waiting for you."
Bernard came to call him.
At this moment, in Birgivot, Slaughtering Dock.
"Is there any more stock today?"
A pirate with a missing arm threw a gold snake coin on the broken bar counter. He glanced at the faintly swaying flag outside the window and asked the bartender who was hiding in the wine cellar under the bar counter. The familiar stench in the tavern, as well as the extra blood and strange stench, didn't make him feel anything wrong at all. After all, this tavern had been massacred and this bartender was just a lucky guy. If he didn't maintain this state, he would have been killed.
He waited for a moment, and then he saw a hand that was missing a few fingers touch the gold snake coin that he threw out. Then, a bottle of wine was placed on the counter, and a somewhat hoarse voice came out of the person's mouth.
"No one has come to Birgivot for half a month. How can there be any stock now?"
In the past, a gold snake coin could buy a large box of rum from here. But now, it could only buy a bottle of rum mixed with water. Although the rum he drank before was mixed with water, it was half a bottle and half a bottle, but now there was only a quarter of the rum. But this level of rum was already at the point where there was no market. If he didn't inform this guy before, this guy wouldn't sell it to him.
After hearing the disappointing answer, the one-armed pirate went silent for a moment. After the bartender returned to the wine cellar, he walked over and took the bottle of rum and the small bag of seasonings that the bartender secretly placed on top. This was the proof of their friendship and also the price for the bartender to buy information from him. After all, in the current Slaughtering Dock, the importance of information was far more than before.
Even though a lot of the information wasn't very useful, it was very likely that the people in the information would have already died in a fight with other gangs by the time you received the information. But the truly important information could still be sold at a high price.
"If you have the ability, you should leave in the next few days. When I went out to fish just now, I found the fingers of Old White's body were trembling. At first, I thought it was some disgusting parasite or some fish that was gnawing on his flesh. But when I was about to pull him up and send him ashore, that guy grabbed my fishing net and stretched out his hand as if he was alive. He even said in a hoarse voice, 'Give me a cigarette.' It was as if he could still smoke. Think about it, buddy. A guy who lost half of his head. After running in the sea for three days, what else can he do to hold onto my fishing net? "
There was still some steam in the tavern, but after he spoke, the atmosphere turned gloomy and ice-cold. The pirate who took the wine waited for a long time, but the bartender didn't speak. He shook his head, hid the wine and spices in his coat, and walked out of the tavern.
But, a scene that he didn't expect happened. Just as he was about to leave, a rat with blood-red eyes ran onto the counter and knocked over a glass. The bartender's hand appeared again. He fumbled around, caught the rat, and took it down. Then, he raised his hand again with a bottle of rum and a small piece of spices stained with blood. The rat didn't panic. It crawled out from the bartender's torn pocket and looked at its dinner last night.
A head that was half gone.
The bartender's head.
The pirate didn't know. He walked carefully on the street, which was full of bloodstains. In order to become the boss, the pirates and gangs had slaughtered and fought all kinds of battles. He was a lone wolf who walked alone. Even though he had suffered a lot in the previous battles and lost an arm, he had accumulated enough resources to leave this place. He only wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. He informed the bartender just to get a bottle of rum. After all, he was just a small boat. Who knew how long he would float on the sea?
He knew that he couldn't hold on to this place. After nearly two months of brutal battles, not only did they fail to determine a victor, but they also left everyone wounded and full of hatred. Furthermore, those damned Baru people had also cut off all contact with them and hid in their territory. The Baru people were protected by their magic and wouldn't suffer too many losses in the Soul-Devouring Night. Those dark-skinned guys could watch them die outside. Among the remaining people, no one had the qualifications to stand up and lead everyone against the Soul-Devouring Night. This meant that they could only rely on a mob of people who hated each other to fight against the Soul-Devouring Night.
He had never heard of such a terrible joke in his life.
Thus, when he discovered the signs of Soul-devouring Night, he immediately moved the supplies he had prepared to a secret port. He was prepared to leave this damned place and not become a vengeful spirit on Soul-devouring Night. The spices and wine given by the bartender were the last things he had prepared.
He quickly walked to the place that he had prepared and was very happy to find that the boat that he had wrapped in canvas was fine. All the things that he had prepared were still there. Thus, he quickly pushed the small boat into the water and began to sail out of Birgivot Harbor. But the moment his boat left the harbor, a dark cloud happened to cover the sky above his head. He subconsciously lowered his head and looked around vigilantly. Then he felt something moving under his boat.
He didn't dare to look, but when the dark cloud left the sun, a huge shadow floated up from the side of his boat. He was horrified to see a headless sea monster surging up from the water and quietly floating on the sea. Its body was covered with all kinds of fish bones and crabs that only had shells left.
As a result, his screams woke up the seemingly sleeping city, causing a few more gunshots to ring out in the city.
