Chapter 74: Inquiring for information
"That's about it." Li He finally said to the devil Alex.
"I understand, Master, just go ahead and do it. You will not be disappointed this time." Alex nodded vigorously, turned around and left. During the process, the severed hand was jumping on Alex's shoulder to join in the fun. Alex was not polite and took the severed hand directly out of the door, then stuffed the severed hand into his clothes and left the Blackstone Castle.
He was worrying about how to prevent the broken hand from being courteous to him when he was out. If the other party gave him the opportunity, he would definitely not let it go.
...
and in a flash, night comes.
There is a slum in the southwest area of Lenza City. In the center of the slum is a hotel - the Red Scorpion Hotel.
Since the day it opened, the Red Scorpion Hotel has been extremely busy and has received all kinds of people.
No matter whether they are drunkards or hot-tempered guys, they dare not make trouble in the hotel, because it is rumored that this hotel is owned by the boss of the Black Blood Gang, Red Scorpion. Anyone who dares to make trouble in the hotel will be in trouble with the Black Blood Gang.
The result of daring to fight against the Black Blood Gang is that all the blood in the body will be drained.
At night, when the Red Scorpion Hotel was busiest, Alex appeared outside the door.
After sniffing and smelling the faint odor in the surrounding air, Alex frowned slightly, but without hesitation, he straightened his tuxedo, stuffed his severed hand inside the tuxedo, pushed the door open and entered the hotel.
In the hotel lobby, every table was occupied by people at this time. Men, women, young people, old people... all kinds of people were making loud noises.
When Alex walked into the door, the people nearby subconsciously noticed that they were surprised when they noticed the clothes of noble Alex, but they quickly retracted their gaze, no longer paying attention, and continued talking to their companions.
For them, although nobility is rare here, it is not impossible.
In particular, some small nobles always come with some shady purpose, hoping to find someone who can help.
They were not interested in Alex at all, they were more interested in how much wine there was in their glasses.
"Gudong, Gudong..." The wine poured down the throat into the body, and the noise became louder and louder.
Alex walked through the noisy crowd and walked to the hotel bar.
A round-faced bartender quickly greeted him and said apologetically: "Sir, I'm sorry, the seats are all full today. If you don't mind, I can let you share a table with someone else." "No,
I Just sit at your bar for a while."
"That's fine, do you need anything?"
Alex threw a silver coin: "Bring me the strongest wine you have here."
The bartender quickly He caught the silver coin, wiped it with the towel at hand, and quickly stuffed it into the small cloth bag on his waist. A very sincere smile appeared on his face: "Okay, I'll be here soon." He turned around and opened the wine at the bottom of the shelf
. Bucket, he filled Alex with a large glass and brought it up.
Alex took it, took a sip, nodded lightly, and began to taste it seriously.
After a while, after drinking a whole glass of wine, Alex threw out another silver coin without changing his expression: "One more drink." "
Okay." The bartender's face almost burst into laughter. One silver coin bought ten He drank more than one glass of wine, and the extra money was put into his pocket as a tip. This night, I got more benefit from Alex than he had been busy all week.
The bartender quickly took another glass of wine and handed it to Alexis full of flattery.
Alex continued to taste.
The bartender glanced at Alex and asked tentatively: "Sir, you don't come to our Red Scorpion Hotel specifically to drink, right?" "Why
not?"
"Because I know very well that the wine in our hotel It's not delicious, at least it's not comparable to those hotels on Central Street."
"Then what do you think I'm doing here?"
"Generally speaking, people dressed like you come here to find some help. , do some shady things. For example, you have an enemy who is difficult to deal with openly, so you find someone to teach you a lesson in secret. But I must explain that the Red Scorpion Hotel is a very serious hotel and does not provide Such service."
"Ha." Alex laughed, "Don't worry, I'm not here to help you get revenge on anyone. In fact, I came here to find out some information." "Inquiring about information?
Then You have come to the right place. The Red Scorpion Hotel does not do anything illegal, but it can help you find out information. In fact, the Red Scorpion Hotel is basically the most well-informed place in Lensa. No matter what you ask about, as long as you pay enough You can find out the price."
"Very good." Alex agreed, flipping his hand and placing a gold coin on the table.
The bartender's expression suddenly stiffened. He was less happy and more wary: "Sir, the price you offered is a bit high. Don't ask for information, even if it's to find someone to teach your enemy a lesson or interrupt him." A dozen or dozens of silver coins are enough for your arm. Your gold coin... can already make some desperate guys kill people for you..." "Didn't you say you won't do anything
illegal here? Do you know the price so well?"
"Well..."
"Okay, I'm not interested in what you can do here. I just want to ask for information." "
Then the information you are asking for is..."
"Wizard." Lenks said softly, staring into the bartender's eyes and said, "I want to know where there are wizards in Lensa City?!" "
This..." The bartender hesitated, blinked, and slowly pushed the gold coins back on the table. Arriving at Alex, "I'm sorry, wizards only exist in legends. This kind of information cannot be found here. You'd better take the money back." "Are you
sure?"
"Sure."
"Okay then." Lenks didn't hesitate, took back the gold coins, drank slowly, and stopped talking to the bartender.
Eventually, Alex drank four large glasses of hard liquor until late at night, got up and walked away from the counter, looking a little shaken as he walked out the door.
The bartender watched Alex leave, raised his eyebrows, and the next moment he quickly opened the back door and ran out.
...
In the city of Lensa, the night is thick.
Alex walked in the cold alleys of the slums. As he walked, he stopped and slowly turned his head.
He saw three or four people slowly surrounding him from the night. One of them was very familiar, he was the bartender in the tavern.
"Let me guess, you have found out about the wizard and want to use the information to make money from me, right?" "
Actually, we don't know any information about the wizard, but the gold coins you have are so attractive. , I guess you brought more than one." The bartender said coldly, "I don't know why you came here to inquire about a strange news. But as a kind reminder, why don't you keep all the money you have, Then get as far away as you can, it will be good for you and us."
"Then what if I refuse?"
"Then I can only say I'm sorry... Huck, Muro... come on!"
Following the bartender's drink, multiple people rushed towards Alex.
Alex couldn't help but smile lightly, and took action at the next moment...with great restraint.
...
a few minutes later.
The bartender's helpers were all lying on the ground in the alley, howling in pain, while the bartender was beaten with a bruised nose and face, and was dragged out of the alley by Alex.
At this time, the bartender looked at Alex, full of fear, and said tremblingly: "You... what do you want to do?" "You are a
member of the Black Blood Gang, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't do this. , right?"
"Gudong..." The bartender swallowed, thought about the terrifying combat power that Alex showed just now, and nodded honestly.
"Very good." Alex said, "Speaking of which, I just beat one of your people and beat you like this. You should be very angry, right?" The
bartender nodded subconsciously, then reacted and became crazy again Shake his head.
Alex laughed, but didn't care. He said slowly: "You are angry, and you are right. Then I will give you a chance to take revenge on me. Take me to find your boss and ask your boss to avenge you."
"Really?"
"Of course."
The bartender looked at Alex hesitantly for several seconds, then gritted his teeth and led the way to the side.
In his opinion, Alex's combat power was indeed terrifying, and he was more than enough to deal with several of his people. But if you take the opponent back to the gang, there are hundreds of members there, many of whom are good players. I don't believe they can't deal with him.
Not long after, the bartender and Alex disappeared into the darkness one after another.
