Pirate's Swordsman

♂nbsp; the other side.

After separating from Bista and leaving the training ground, Xia Nuo wandered leisurely through the streets and alleys of Frost City.

Unlike the former, he had basically no injuries in this duel between swordsmen. He didn't even need to change clothes. At most, he only consumed half of his physical strength. With his strong physique, he could recover on his own in a short time.

and so.

After the battle, he had no intention of taking a rest, but simply took advantage of this rare rest time to wander around and give himself a day or two off.

Although he was used to being in a state of hell training for a long time, it was good to relax a little occasionally.

…………

Frost City covers a vast area and has a dense flow of people. In terms of commercial prosperity, among the islands that Xiano has visited, it is second only to the Chambord Islands.

Therefore, several hours passed after this round of shopping. It was not until dusk that Xia Nuo looked up at the sky and felt that he was almost relaxed, so he turned back and headed south of the city.

There, the Gale Pirates have booked an entire small hotel, which serves as a temporary residence for everyone these days.

"Ok?"

In the crowded street, Xia Nuo suddenly slowed down his pace and glanced calmly at the alley on the left.

Two black shadows disappeared at the end of the alley at exactly this moment.

"Isn't it interesting to follow me..."

Xia Nuo's eyes flashed slightly and he chuckled.

After pondering for a moment, he did not follow them. Instead, he turned on his sight, accurately locked onto the movements of the two people, and then continued walking along the original path as if nothing had happened.

…………

Half an hour later, in the southwest of the city, there was a lively pub.

Two sneaky figures pushed open the shutter door, passed through the bustling crowd, and came to a remote corner of the tavern.

There were several pirates sitting at the table in the corner, drinking beer and talking in low voices.

Seeing the arrival of the two men, the leader of the pirates frowned, stared at them coldly and said, "Why did it take so long to come back?"

"Captain, you can't blame us."

The two looked at each other, and the tall, thin man on the left replied with a grimace: "That guy never meant to go back to rest, he was just wandering around the street alone, and we didn't dare to rely on him. Too close, I'm afraid he'll notice, and I've wasted several hours just going back and forth..."

"I don't want to hear this nonsense!"

The pirate known as the captain, although his body shape was somewhat ordinary, he had a sinister face and did not seem to be someone to be trifled with. At this moment, he glared at the tall and thin man fiercely, making the latter tremble for a while before asking in a serious tone. Said: "You just need to tell me the result. Did you find the other party's address?"

"Check... found it."

The tall and lanky man didn't dare to show off any more and hurriedly replied: "It's a small hotel called Aix in the third neighborhood in the south of the city."

“Aix Hotel…”

The sinister-looking captain gestured to his subordinate sitting next to him to spread out the map on the table and searched for it. After confirming the location, he narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his head and asked, "Does everyone live there?"

"This one……"

The tall and lanky man hesitated subconsciously for a moment, and then, under the interrogating gaze of his captain, he quickly and tremblingly said: "Yes, that should be right, isn't it true that there are only more than forty people in their entire pirate group, and such a hotel is , as long as there are enough vacant rooms, they can definitely be accommodated..."

After answering, there was no sound from the other side of the table. Before the captain could reply, the tall and thin man lowered his head and felt a little uneasy when he heard the familiar cold voice again:

"I hope this information is accurate. If something goes wrong, what will be the consequences... You two know it, right?"

"Clear...clear."

A chill suddenly shot up his spine. The tall and thin man did not dare to stay any longer. After bowing to the captain and several officers, he quickly pulled another companion who was following him and carefully exited the bar. .

"call……"

Once outside, the lanky man relaxed after losing the oppressive feeling from the captain. He looked at his companion beside him and found that he was just like him, covered in cold sweat and looking frightened.

"Ugh."

Seeing this scene, the tall and thin man patted his companion on the back, sighed and said: "Let's go, it's no big deal. The captain has always been like this, he likes to speak harshly. You haven't gotten used to it when you first joined the team. You'll get used to it after staying for a long time, don't worry too much, let's find another tavern and have a few drinks before talking."

"Ah."

The newbie companion, who had been on the ship for more than two months, finally came to his senses. He turned his head and looked behind the shutter door in fear. He was carried by the tall and thin man and turned into the alley next to him, towards the street entrance. Go to another bar far away.

however.

Just as they turned into this sparsely populated alley, the ground suddenly turned into a swamp and began to squirm and twist.

The two of them noticed the changes under their feet. After looking down, their expressions suddenly changed. But before they could shout in panic, they were swallowed up by the oncoming mire, and then Wuying disappeared in the alley. No trace.

…………

"Well done."

It was already dark, and in the room on the second floor of the Aix Hotel, Xiano gave him a happy encouragement after listening to Kira's report.

"With the specific directions given by Brother Xia Nuo, this task is actually quite simple..." Kira scratched his head in embarrassment.

Seeing his appearance, Xia Nuo smiled and said nothing more. Instead, he turned to look at the two people who were knocked unconscious in the corner. He clicked his tongue and said, "You have been following me for so long. I didn't expect it for this reason." Once it comes out, it’s interesting…”

Before coming to his room, Kira had already used some tricks to force out the cause of the incident from the two people's mouths. After the report just now, Xia Nuo basically figured out everything that happened inside and outside the tavern. .

These two idiots who had been following him all afternoon were both low-level crew members of the pirate group called "Water Ghost". The reason why they followed Xia Nuo all the way was because they had been ordered by their captain to get rid of the pirates today. Before going dark, investigate where Xia Nuo and his party are staying.

This water ghost pirate group is quite large, with a total of five to six hundred people. Their captain "Water Ghost" Paiko is a water plant fruit user who can spread countless water plants from his body and can also control similar plants in the ocean. , quite powerful.

One year after destroying a certain naval branch and plundering all the property in the local town, he led his subordinates to escape from the encirclement and entered the new world. The navy headquarters was furious and offered a bounty of 390 million beli.
