Magic Industrial Age

Fisherman's Wharf,

Night, Mermaid Tavern.

As a sailor on the Percinas, Humphrey was a famous and eccentric bachelor.

He always said that he was destined to be poor in this life, so he didn't need to get married and have children, letting a woman and children suffer with him.

Therefore, he was unwilling to marry, even if women took the initiative to get close to him, even if his salary was actually not low, it still couldn't change his mind.

This made him seem like an eccentric person in the eyes of others, but he didn't care.

Of course, as a bachelor, he still had some money in his hand, and his favorite thing was drinking.

The reason why the Mermaid Tavern was famous in Fisherman's Wharf was because the owner was a hot beauty, and the wine-selling girls she hired also had some beauty.

This made the tavern's business far better than other taverns.

However, if you think you can take advantage of the alcohol to run wild here, sorry, the female boss will let you know that you can be presumptuous anywhere, but not here.

However, when Humphrey walked into the tavern today, the noise suddenly became quiet for a moment.

But he didn't care at all. After walking to a chair and sitting down, he shouted loudly for a glass of the best ale.

A voluptuous wine-selling girl quickly stepped forward, served a glass of dark beer, and also gave a subtle hint.

But Humphrey seemed not to see it, drinking the wine in large gulps, only feeling comfortable all over, and the whole person seemed slightly drunk.

Suddenly, a loud voice sounded: "Humphrey, I heard that you made a lot of money this time you went out?"

Humphrey took another big gulp, finished a glass of wine, then stood up and said loudly: "Do you want to know?"

"Of course, I want to know!"

"This trip of ours was thrilling, a narrow escape from death, but also full of rewards.

However, if you want to know the details, you can, I don't know who is willing to pay for my next glass of wine?"

As soon as he said this, there was a moment of silence. Finally, someone opened his mouth and said, "I'll treat you to this glass of wine!"

Saying that, three copper Tills were thrown into the air, drawing an arc, and landed on the long table of the tavern.

Immediately, a wine-selling girl took the copper coins and served Humphrey another glass of ale.

Humphrey took it, took another gulp, enjoying it while his eyes were cunning and clear.

Putting down the glass, he said: "This trip to the sea, in fact, has to start from the owner of the Xiangsheli Magic Textile Factory, Mr. Maruna·Marquis.

The disaster of the Divine Grace Festival, everyone knows it, his two children..."

A 'story' that many people are thinking about.

So, this night, Humphrey changed three taverns and told it no less than six times.

Finally, after getting himself drunk, he stopped.

...

East of the city,

A residential area.

The bow-wielding man was covered with various gifts. When he happily pushed open his door, his face suddenly changed.

Various gifts were scattered all over the floor. Two bright blades protruded from the big bow, but before he could draw out the arrows, a long sword was already placed on his wife's neck.

The strength seemed to be a little too strong, so that a bloodstain appeared.

What's even more deadly is that the bow-wielding man can feel that there are two more people behind him. Although they didn't draw their weapons, just the eyes on him are creepy.

The bow-wielding man immediately raised his hands, indicating that he had no malice, and said, "Everyone, everyone, if you want to rob money, there are still some in my purse, you can take it.

As long as you don't hurt my family, everything else is easy to say."

At this time, someone next to him said, "I heard that this time Maruna went to pay the ransom, and your Zijing(紫荆: Bauhinia) Mercenary Group escorted the whole journey?"

The bow-wielding man turned his head slightly and saw the man sitting at the table.

Although he was also wearing black leather armor and a black cloak, and his face was covered with a mask, he couldn't see clearly.

Based on his experience, the tone of this person's speech, the posture of sitting upright, and the elegance of his behavior are not something ordinary people can have.

This is a noble!

Drawing this conclusion, the bow-wielding man felt a chill in his heart, and put his posture lower: "Yes, I took the task, went out to sea, and encountered a lot of things."

"I'm a little interested in your encounters, can you tell me in detail?"

"Yes, I know everything and say everything, just one request, I hope you can let my family go after you are sure that I am not lying."

"Okay! Then tell me, who are the enemies you encountered on this trip?"

"Many, pirates, navy, swordsmen, and people who came to make trouble, I don't know which one you want to know about specifically?"

"You seem to have a lot to say?!"

"Then I'll start from the beginning, little by little, in detail, you can ask questions at any time, and I'll answer them.

Is it okay?"

"Okay!"

For a full hour, the bow-wielding man said clearly about the encounters of this trip, everything he could see from his perspective, without any omissions.

And that person also repeatedly questioned until he verified that there was no contradiction in what the bow-wielding man said, and then he stopped.

After they left, the bow-wielding man finally hugged his wife and children, his eyes glowing fiercely.

He is after all a second-order battle professional, how could he not have a temper?

But after a few breaths, he smiled bitterly again.

Thinking about the request on the ship, he suddenly understood that the other party was paving the way for them.

...

Herbert, the boatswain of the Percinas, is also loved on the ship.

But he really didn't expect that he had just disembarked when he was hit with a sap and dragged to a place that looked like a torture chamber.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the branding iron burning with flames, the skinning knife, dark red blood stains everywhere, and the strong smell of iron rust that couldn't be dissolved at the tip of his nose...

He felt like he was going crazy, and what was even crazier was that a group of people took off his clothes and gestured to torture him.

Just when he was about to pee in fright, someone finally came and asked, "Haven't you asked about the specific situation yet?"

Before those who tortured him could speak, Herbert cried out 'woo woo woo'.

The rope on his mouth was pulled open, and he shouted almost without hesitation: "What do you want to know, why don't you ask? Ask?"

The most ⊥new⊥small⊥say⊥in⊥⊥six⊥9⊥⊥book⊥⊥bar⊥⊥first⊥release!

"You don't ask, how do you know I don't want to say? You also sealed my mouth, I can't even speak."

"You, what do you mean?"

In the prison cell, Herbert's accusation was full of blood and tears, but it made the person who came a little confused. He opened his mouth: "You didn't ask?"

The executioner was even more aggrieved: "Captain, ah no, boss, you didn't tell us what to ask?"

"Oh oh, is that so? That, that sorry, I forgot to explain."

"Woo woo woo woo..."

...

Slums,

In the corner of the shadow, a purse was thrown out, and the twin detective's brother took it, and then padded it to make sure that the money was enough, and then grinned.

A low voice came from the shadow: "The money is for you, but if the information you give me is wrong, it will cost you your life."

"Don't worry, my information is definitely the most accurate.

Moreover, that one is really not prepared to hide it, just let us say what we have, and take the money if we have it."

The low voice seemed a little unbelievable: "He really said that?"

"He not only said that, but also let us do it. If you don't believe it, listen to the rumors after a while, and guarantee that it is not bad!"

"That's interesting, tell me, what kind of person is this illegitimate son of Earl Raymond's family?"

The twin detective's brother was stunned by this question, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Until the low voice impatiently urged, he slowly opened his mouth: "I have never seen such a terrible person!"

...

The next day,

The morning sun sprinkling down, dispelling the darkness and ice.

In the Executive Hall,

Lord Dorji Petrovich devoured his breakfast, savoring the rich coffee, his eyes narrowed involuntarily.

Beside him, a young man with blond hair and extremely elegant and capable demeanor reported to him, the content of which was Roy's sea trip.

Until a certain moment, after listening to the evaluation of the brother of the twin detectives, Dorji couldn't help but stop eating and looked up slightly:

"He said that Roy is the most terrible person he has ever seen?"

"That's how the detective evaluated it!"

"Hehe, how can a frog at the bottom of a well dare to talk nonsense when he has seen so much sky?"

Dorji sneered, but after a pause, he said: "Of course, I have to admit that this kid is lucky, he can have such a harvest?"

"Meli Allen is also a waste, gave him so much support, and sent a transcendent demon magician, actually lost so badly?!"

"Waste! Waste! Really waste!"

A series of scolding showed his attitude, and at this time, the blond youth opened his mouth: "Governor, should we?"

"No need for so much trouble, that wealth is not so easy to take, I don't know how many people are eyeing it?

Let's wait and see, and it's not too late to take action when things change!"

"Yes!"

The young man responded, and seeing that Dorji had no instructions, he stepped out.

However, after only half an hour, he knocked on the door again.

"Governor, that Roy, shot again!"

"What did he do again?"

"He, he, he is sending people to send back the bodies to those hijacked families?"

Dorji was stunned, stunned for dozens of breaths, and suddenly laughed: "It's a bit of wit, but I don't know if you really have the ability to get through this?

"I'll see how you perform?!"

Forgot to set the time, everyone forgive me!
