Broad World

In the early morning, as the sun rose little by little, the port area of ​​Calim Port began to get busy again. Many coolies with shirtless upper body were squatting at the berth or warehouse door, silently waiting for someone to hire them. Several ships arrived in the middle of the night yesterday The ships from all over the world also docked under the command of the port officials, and everything seemed so orderly.

But anyone who has stayed here for a few years will realize that all of this is actually an illusion. The entire pier has been quite tense for the past two days. Investigation, and some are spies sent by other forces. After all, Artemis Entreri's name is too scary, and many people want to confirm the authenticity of this news so that they can respond in time.

A 12- or 13-year-old boy wearing only jumping shorts and barefoot trotted through the crowd, silently observing the situation around the pier, then plunged into the big pit where chores and garbage were piled up, and looked back cautiously. After confirming that he was not being followed, he dug a few times in the corner of the wall, and soon a wooden board with a pull ring was exposed, which opened to reveal the tunnel leading below.

Without any hesitation, he jumped in directly, followed by sealing the entrance, and then walked through the dark passage to an empty cave. A dozen people were sitting in the corner with depressed faces, and one of them was shocked. It is the legendary thief Arkanis.

However, he looks a bit embarrassed now, not only is there a stench all over his body, but also his hair has not been washed for an unknown amount of time, and the whole thing is stuck together, looking a little disgusting.

"Tell me, what's the situation outside now?" Akanis asked without raising his head when he heard the footsteps.

With his excellent hearing, he can judge a person's height, shortness, fatness, and even walking habits based on the sound of footsteps. Therefore, there is no need to look up at all, and he immediately knows that the boy he hired has returned.

"Not so good! There are nearly a hundred people from the Black Sail Guild everywhere outside. They have sealed off all the roads, even the entrance to the sewer. Now it is impossible to get out except for barging in. "

Panting heavily, the boy talked about the information he had collected, and his eyes glanced at the face of the legendary thief from time to time. He is very curious now, what exactly did these guys do in front of him, which actually made the underground forces in Calimport tense up.

Arcanis ignored the other party's curious eyes. He took out a handful of gold coins from his pocket and tossed them casually. The gold coins seemed to have eyes, and one of the gold coins landed on the boy's hand. Immediately afterwards, he asked, "What about the city, did any major events happen in the city? "

The boys who got the reward put the gold coins in their mouths one by one, and put them carefully into the inner pockets of their trousers. Then they bared their black teeth and replied with a smile: "Of course! Last night, the senior leader of the Camel Guild, Mai Jed was tortured into a fool, and all his men died. It is said that all of them had their throats cut. Now Calimport is in a state of madness, and rumors are everywhere that Artemis Entreri has returned."

"Artemis Entreri?" Arcanis sneered and waved his hand lightly.

The boy understands that this is letting himself 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 the origin and purpose of these people at all.

All those who live in Calimport know a truth, that is, the more you know, the more dangerous you are, and you may be silenced at any time, so you can live longer without knowing anything.

Seeing that the outsiders had already 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 feels that Calimport is simply at odds with the Shadow Thief. Almost every time he wants to gain a foothold here, there will be accidents. It was like this a few years ago, and this time it is even more unlucky.

The Black Sail Guild who had tried the "Dream of Elysium" was ready to agree to give up two streets, but who knew that a leader who didn't know what was going on suddenly ordered his subordinates to rob him. Under the killer. Killed all the people in the whole room.

Normally, this matter should be considered over. If you change places or change guilds, you can continue to try to get a foothold.

But I don't know if it was cursed by the goddess of misfortune. During the process of transferring the goods, it was discovered by a group of patrolling guards. As a result, the other party immediately blew the whistle, and a large number of patrols rushed over. In desperation, they could only fight and retreat, and retreated to the dock. It is hidden in the cellar dug out by the shadow thief many years ago.

What's even more unfortunate is that the riots caused by the retreat caused the Black Sail Guild to discover the body of the dead leader and immediately blocked the entire port area. Everyone was blocked here, unable to advance or retreat. .

"Head, we need to get in touch with the outside forces now. It is best to sneak out a few people and see which guild in the city is willing to buy this batch of goods. As for the territory, let's give up first. Judging from the current situation, The underground forces in Calimport are about to fall into turmoil, and our strength is too small to stand up." A thief in his thirties suggested.

He is the contact person of the Shadow Thieves Guild here. He is responsible for collecting information all the year round. He knows that there are undercurrents surging in the city at this moment. Even if there is the legendary thief Arkanis, these few people will not be able to make a difference. It is better to catch them early. A sum left.

After all, although Arcanis is powerful, he is not a qualified manager. Otherwise, Bloodhead would not have allowed this most loyal subordinate to do murder and the like all day long, and would have given him a guild to manage.

Another thief frowned and asked: "But who can eat such a large batch of goods? We are now on the bounty offered by the Black Sail Guild, and the "Dream of Elysium" is so conspicuous, I am afraid no one will buy it at this time." Take over."

"On the contrary, there is still a guild in the city that is capable of taking over, and they are not afraid of any forces. The most important thing is that they are very close to the pier, and they can be reached just by crossing a few streets,"

Arcanis, who had been having a headache on how to handle the goods, immediately brightened his eyes when he heard this, and asked loudly, "Say it! Who is it?!"

You must know that since the port was blocked, their ship has been detained by the Black Sail Guild, and the goods can only be stacked in this dirty and smelly place. A damp cellar will inevitably rot and deteriorate over time, so it must be disposed of as soon as possible.

The middle-aged thieves didn't hold back, and said two words directly: "Phantom!"

"Phantom? Why have I never heard of it..." Arcanis frowned and underestimated in a low voice.

Before he set off, he saw a piece of information about the major forces in Calimport from Bloodhead, and it was obvious that this name had never been mentioned.

Seeing the puzzled expression on Akanis' 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 is a young man named Boyce." , looks to be only fourteen years old, and came to Calimport about half a month ago, and I don’t know how to get in touch with Hamidra, the contractor of the Eastern Arena, and is now engaged in a big project, it is said It is to change the way the guild operates. We are still collecting information about him, but since he dares to go against the members of the Camel Guild, he will naturally not be afraid of the Black Sail Guild, so he is a worthy target.”

"Fourteen years old?!" Arcanis instantly showed surprise that could not be concealed, and an 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? How is the strength?"

"Short black hair, brown pupils, medium build, claiming to be a Druid, and his personal strength is terrifying. He once dismembered an adult fire giant with a long knife in the arena, and killed 20 fully armed men with divine magic. A mercenary, and even killed a Tyrannosaurus rex in the end. His characteristic is that his speed and reflexes are extremely fast, almost on par with yours."

Without any concealment, the middle-aged thief told all the information he had collected. In his eyes, there must be a huge secret hidden behind this young man named Boyce. Maybe it was disguised by a terrifying creature like a giant dragon. It is impossible for normal humans to have such terrifying skills at this age. .

"Interesting... I think this may be an old friend. I'll go back after dark and check for myself. If it's really him, then we'll be out of trouble soon." After speaking, Arcanis returned to the corner and sat down to close his eyes. Eyes repose.

Based on the description just now, he felt that Boyce was probably Henry himself. According to the news from the merchants, the Great War in the North had come to an end, so the timing was completely consistent.

Of course, there is another most important reason, that is, he hopes from the bottom of his heart that Henry is in Calimport, so that with the help of the other party, he can easily complete the task delivered by the bloody head without worrying about intrigue.

Although, as a legendary thief, he can completely turn the whole city upside down by himself, but doing so will not gain any benefit at all except for increasing the hatred of the local forces towards the Shadow Thief, not to mention that the bloody head is about to leave. I told you before, don't start killing, so the past two days have been quite aggrieved, and I have accumulated a lot of resentment.

Arcanis hopes to cooperate with Henry again, because in his eyes, this ally not only has meticulous thinking, but also is very sharp. In Askatla, the other party digested the territory that originally belonged to the Shadow Thief with almost no effort, and nothing happened for several months, which was unbelievably stable.

More importantly, Henry has always abided by the agreement, so the cooperation between the two parties is very pleasant, especially after the "Bliss Dreamland" was successfully planted in the sewer, the status of Bloodhead in the Shadow Council has been rapidly improved, and it may be possible to replace the current supreme leader in the future and enter the Security Council. Mu's council of six.

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