Chapter 19 Bloody Doom
The wanted orders, black and white, are the lowest, and are all thieves, not worth mentioning and cannot be put on the table. The more dangerous one is the yellow name level, which is a bit fierce and has too ordinary means, at least they have a skill and the kind of person who bears murder. No matter how high it is, it is the red name level, and the blue name level is the dangerous level. In the small place of Qianshui Port, at most, the yellow name level has been issued.
Heshal knew that John Hawkins was once a wanted criminal in the red, but this guy changed his appearance. Few people knew about the other party's past, but to put it bluntly, his foundation was not clean, so even if he knew, it was impossible to expose the other party.
Hessel certainly wanted to find out the reason if he could make someone like John Hawkins "take a chance".
"Old friend, this matter is not as complicated as you think. That person is bullshit. To be honest, it is because Robert, the old guy insists on getting involved in this matter, so it is not convenient for me to take action, so that the old guy won't catch any handle. In short, you helped me with this matter, even if I owe you a favor." After John Hawkins said that, Hesel immediately realized.
Robert, the first mate on the Viniteros, is also an amazing person. With this person, John Hawkins is indeed afraid of being a lie, but if it is an "official" attack, even a person like Robert will be unable to do so.
Weighing the pros and cons, Hesel nodded and said, "I've helped you with this."
...
The small square where Tang An is located at this moment is called Seabird Square.
Because it is close to the seaside, all kinds of seabirds often fly over, and the people here are very friendly to seabirds, so they often see all kinds of seabirds flying in this small square, hence the name.
At this moment, just in front of Tang An, several local children were feeding a group of seabirds with the bread crumbs in their hands.
After looking at the sky, Tang An knew that there was not much time before sunset. The two people who were following him were still wandering around. Tang An tried, but it was difficult to get rid of them. Moreover, after observation, Tang An found that the people staring at him were far more than the two people before.
Just in another corner of the square, Tang An noticed someone looking at him more than an hour ago.
This also made Tang An feel more uneasy.
It even made Tang An feel that everyone around him was peeping at him, which made him feel no sense of security.
The sense of crisis and the fear brought about by this have made Tang An uneasy.
The evil spirit flintlock rifle was hidden in the clothes, and Tang An had already put the ammunition on, but this gun could not bring Tang An a sense of security at all.
He knew that he had to think of another way to protect him.
Before this, Tang An had spent the "Sacred Temple Silver Coin" in his hand. He found a tavern next to Seabird Square and bought a grilled sausage, vegetables and a glass of beer. Of course, these things were not worth a silver coin at all, but Tang An still paid generously. The extra tip allowed Tang An to inquire a lot of useful information from the bartender.
The forces on the side of Shorewater Port.
Of course, the most powerful one is the official, that is, the local government department, which is under the jurisdiction of the Public Security Department, known as the "Sword of Justice", which is an official force. In addition, there is the "Shakewater Port Brotherhood", which is an union-like organization and the "Explorers Association".
Tang An inquired about these things to see if he could take advantage of the situation to protect himself.
When one's own strength is insufficient and encounters a huge crisis, leveraging one's strength is undoubtedly the best way to take advantage of it. Although Tang An was afraid and afraid, he did not lose his ability to think.
The weak defeats the strong, and it has always been a way to take advantage of the situation, but whose power it is to borrow?
This is why Tang An inquired about the information.
Because Tang An gave a lot of tips, the bartender was also very patient and kept telling what he knew. Because Tang An was still weak in language skills and could not understand, he would say it a few more times.
Obviously, Tang An could not use the power he knew at present. Tang An did not dare to go to the sheriffs of the Sword of Justice. John was the one who took both black and white. If he went there, he might have fallen into the trap.
As for the Shallow Shui Brotherhood and the Explorer Association, Tang An had no way, and why should he help him?
Just when Tang An was at a loss, the bartender told Tang An about a few strange stories about Shallow Shui Harbor. One was about a perverted murderer called the "Midnight Ripper". This man only attacked women and was cruel. The bartender said it very vividly, just as if he had seen the perverted murderer with his own eyes. The other sounded even more terrifying, and it was a curse called "Bloody Doom". It said that in the Seabird Square in Shallow Shui Harbor, there was a place specially used to post various notices. If you see a notice full of blood and written in ancient Lascian language, remember not to touch it, let alone tear off, otherwise it will inevitably be plagued by bad luck. Legend has it that if someone does this, he will be taken away by the mysterious messenger of bad luck at 12 o'clock that night and will never come back.
The bartender said this story with both voice and emotion. Unfortunately, Tang An Lacia is not good yet. The first time I did not understand what it meant. Even if the bartender explained it in detail several times later, Tang An still did not fully understand it. But I know that the bloody notice in the bulletin board on the Seabird Square is a curse. If someone dares to blaspheme, there will be a messenger of bad luck to take you away at night.
When Tang An heard this, a bold idea came to his mind.
This may be his chance.
Now that John Hawkins is ill-telling about himself, the other party is powerful, and it is a high probability that he will be caught. Tang An is aware of this, and he does not feel that he can be spared.
So, assuming you are destined to be caught by the other party, what will happen next?
The other party’s goal is a nautical compass. If the other party gets it, it is estimated that he will not live until 12 o’clock in the middle of the night. But if he hides this thing first and the other party can’t find it, he will definitely not kill someone to silence him immediately. If so, he will have a high probability of staying until 12 o’clock in the evening.
As long as time comes, you may be able to get out of trouble with the power of the bloody bad luck notice.
This may be an opportunity for you.
Now Tang An is also a life-threatening horse. Although he plans to take risks, he can only try it out. After confirming with the bartender that the legend of the doom announcement is true, he stood up and thought about how to hide the navigation compass.
Because I have been staring at me, my every move may be under the surveillance of others. And if I want to hide, I must be safe. It is obviously not easy to find such a place.
But Tang An still found it. Although most of the Seabird Square is stone ground, there are also wooden boards in some places, and some can hide things.
Tang An chose a place, pretended to sit down and rest, and then took advantage of the opportunity when the people who were watching him diverted their sights and hid the navigation compass in a gap on the wooden board. In order to cover it up, Tang An also kicked some scattered leaves over with his feet.
Although hiding like this is not 100% safe, it is also the best place that Tang An can find at present. Now that the compass is not on him, even if he is caught by the other party, the other party will not get it. As long as he cannot get it, he can temporarily ensure safety.
Next, Tang An walked straight to the bulletin board of Seabird Square.
There are various announcements posted here on weekdays, including official announcements, wanted orders, and civilians, some hire people, some buy and sell things, lost and found, and seek help. In short, there are many types.
The bulletin board is obviously the most lively place in the entire square. It is said that the Shoshuigang Daily will be posted here, and various new things will be published in the daily newspaper.
