Chapter 327: Looking for Someone
Chapter 327: Searching for Someone Across the Mile
Time is like running water.
In the southern region of China continent, near the southwestern border, Locke and the Queen Silkworm came from afar, and a city appeared in their sight.
"The city ahead is Shana, a large city close to Pengdala City. Let's go and get some information first."
Locke appears to be carefree on the surface, but he knows everything in his heart. It is a rare opportunity for him to act alone, so of course he has to perform well. Who knows, he may have more opportunities to be entrusted with important tasks in the future.
Don't let someone take the cake.
"Yeah, be careful."
The Silkworm Queen quickly shrank and landed on his shoulders, approving of his decision. If Pengdala City was the enemy's base camp, they would definitely suffer a great loss if they rushed in, so they had to be on guard.
Soon, the man and the bug arrived in Shana City and came to the block that specifically served wizards.
There are all kinds of shops lining the street, with many wizards and apprentices coming and going, as well as various exotic birds and beasts. The sounds of people and animals are intertwined, making it very lively.
'Dashana Trading Company'
The eye-catching flaming sign attracted everyone who came here, including Locke. He saw the sign at a glance and also saw the grand hall to which the sign belonged.
This is actually a shopping mall that integrates shops, pubs, restaurants, hotels, workshops, etc.
It is not difficult to infer from the name that it is related to the person in power in Shana City. Places like this usually have intelligence for sale.
"Let's go and take a look inside."
Locke walked in and found it to be spacious and crowded.
He wanted to go to the pub, but he saw a cryptic symbol that pointed to an inconspicuous little shop in the corner. The lights in the shop were dim and it sold a variety of miscellaneous items.
Locke thought about it and walked over.
"I want to buy intelligence."
There was a veiled woman sitting in the small shop. She was fat and should be a wizard apprentice. She was sitting in the dark and didn't speak when people approached her. Locke had to take the initiative to talk to her.
“Tell me what you want,” the woman finally spoke, her voice low.
"A man named Randall, an insect controller from another place, is often followed by a golden beetle." Locke asked tentatively.
Before this, he had tried to contact Randall through the secret mark more than once, but unfortunately there was no response.
The woman looked up and shook her veiled head slightly, indicating that she had no information on this matter.
"Let me ask you again, do you know any famous insect controller organizations around here?" Locke had expected this and asked.
"Three thousand magic stones for sincerity." The woman did not move, but spoke in a hard tone.
"You - OK, I'll give you the magic stones. I hope your information is worth it." The other party's attitude of not accepting bargaining really opened Locke's eyes. For the sake of the overall situation, he could only pay the magic stones at the price.
After getting the magic stone, the woman stood up and walked into the inner room. After a few seconds, she brought out a small crystal ball and handed it to Locke.
Locke did not avoid it. He just received the information in the small crystal ball in front of her. Information about a few insect controller forces emerged, including the Black God Society.
The Black God Society is an idle insect controller force with unknown personnel and unknown location. Most of their people are found in the Blood Ring Mountains.
"Is that all?"
Locke was a little disappointed. This information was not as good as the one sent by Solomon. Although Solomon did not find out any substantial content, he only told the names of a few members of the Black God Society.
"That's all." The woman felt his extraordinary aura, but she was not shaken at all.
"You are so cruel." Locke didn't want to cause any trouble, so he retracted his pressure and turned to walk towards the tavern. He didn't get the information he wanted here, so he could only try his luck in the tavern.
Staring at the departing figure, the woman continued to hide in the dark, motionless, like a wooden sculpture.
Locke noticed the gaze behind him, turned around and glared at him, but seeing that the other person was still in a daze, he felt bored and quickly disappeared around the corner.
Not far away was the 'Sale Tavern'. The noise inside the tavern was so loud that it almost blew the roof off.
"Let's drink this cup. I hope we can collect a million magic stones soon and become official wizards soon."
"Old John is right. Let's drink to Master Marichaton."
"Fuck! For Master Marichaton and the Black Magic Wind and Fire Formation."
Locke walked into the tavern with a frown on his face. He was somewhat displeased with the noise inside. Until he heard a conversation coming from one side, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curved into two arcs.
"Listen, Queen Silkworm, someone is praising the boss." Locke said in a low voice.
"That's right. Apart from Wizard Ivan, who else can make them official wizards?" The Queen of Silkworms agreed happily.
After this little episode, the man and the bug found the tavern much more pleasing to the eye.
However, what Locke did not expect was that after staying in the tavern for most of the day, he was unable to get any valuable information. He could only say that the Black God Society's actions were really secretive, or there was something that could not be made public.
It was almost dark when he came out of the Dashana Commercial Company and walked on the brightly lit street.
"Don't worry. There will definitely be some time before Ivan and the others arrive. It will be enough time for us to get to know the Black God Society in depth." The Silkworm Queen comforted.
"I don't want to drag it out that long--" Locke disagreed with this and suddenly stopped talking halfway.
The Queen Silkworm also noticed something and stopped talking.
Locke quickened his pace a little, and when passing a small alley, he walked in as if no one was around. Immediately afterwards, a thin figure followed him into the alley.
"You are quite courageous. You are just an apprentice, yet you dare to follow me." Locke stopped at the inside of the alley and waited for the newcomer.
"Do you know who I am?" The visitor was a thin girl with half a mask on her face.
"You are not looking down on me. What's the matter? Are you feeling guilty and coming here to return my three thousand magic stones? Or do you have other news to sell to me?"
Locke obviously recognized the other person. This person was clearly the woman who sold information in the small shop.
It is not difficult to see that the appearance in front of you is the other person's true appearance.
"Yes, I have some personal information that I want to sell for a good price." After he revealed her identity, the girl admitted it straightforwardly.
"Are you sure you have the information I want? If you don't satisfy me, I won't be as easy to talk to as I am during the day." Locke said coldly.
"Excuse me for being blunt, but you have the aura of 'Black Beard Melody' on you. I think you are trying to find out information about the Black God Society. I happen to know something about it." The girl's expression did not change, and she directly stated her judgment.
As soon as these words came out, Locke's eyes became a little serious.
In order to cast a wider net and let the people of the Black God Society discover him, he did reveal a part of the aura of the Black Beard Movement, but this was definitely not something an apprentice could sense.
He could also clearly sense that the girl in front of him had never practiced the Blackbeard Music.
The other party came to me at this time, there must be something fishy behind it.
