The dock at night is undoubtedly chaotic and dangerous.
Because just dealing with those countless pickpockets is already quite a headache.
Not to mention the endless stream of robberies, thefts and vicious fights.
Especially the last one, once it starts, it will quickly spread to the entire tavern or hotel.
The drunkard had no idea who hit him first, he just grabbed the unlucky guy closest to him and beat him up.
In this avalanche-like chain reaction, almost no one can escape.
At first glance, the sight of dozens of people fighting with each other without distinguishing between friend and foe was quite spectacular.
Unless a nearby Thieves Guild intervenes, the fight usually ends with no one left standing.
fortunately!
The soldier's tall and strong physique, as well as the full body armor he wore, successfully deterred those guys with bad intentions.
After all, most ordinary people who have not received education tend to have a more intuitive understanding of visible and tangible things such as body shape and weapons and equipment.
Even the dumbest guy wouldn't easily provoke a strong man who looks like he can pin him to the ground and beat him up.
What's more, the full body armor worn by this strong man can easily block light weapons such as daggers, short swords, long swords, and scimitars.
Only heavy weapons such as axes and war hammers, or magic weapons, can pose a threat to it.
In addition, anyone who can wear such heavy armor and remain calm for a long period of time, his strength and physical attributes can be imagined.
Thanks to the deterrent power brought by the upgraded soldiers, Zuo Si and the two little werewolves did not encounter any trouble. At most, they just met a few dirty beggars.
For these poor people who were either disabled or too skinny to work and not even worthy of being slaves, Zuo Si asked the soldiers to give each of them a silver coin to buy food.
It’s not that I don’t want to give more.
But more than one silver coin will bring unnecessary trouble.
Although there is no organization in Furen as extremely disgusting and disgusting as the Beggars' Gang.
But those villains and hooligans didn't mind robbing the beggars who had no ability to resist, and then going to the pub to exchange them for two glasses of cheap and watered-down beer.
A silver coin is perfect because it can provide the beggar with a few full meals, is convenient for hiding, and does not bring about fatal disasters.
Just as Zuo Si had circled the dock for about half a circle, Oris, who was wearing a wide cloak and turned into a half-human, half-wolf form, suddenly stopped, raised his nose and sniffed the air hard.
Soon, he pointed to a sailboat not far away that was about 30 meters long, 6 meters wide, and had a carrying capacity of about 200 to 300 tons and said, "Master! I smelled the scent of those two people on this ship."
"Oh? You have to be sure?"
Zuo Si narrowed his eyes and stared at the ship docked at the berth.
Unlike the heavily guarded ship imagined, the entire ship looked like an ordinary merchant ship, with only three people dressed as sailors on the deck who were responsible for guarding the cargo.
But if you look closely, you will find that there are two guys hiding in the shadows guarding the entrance to the lower cabin.
Whenever someone walked in, they would immediately show up to check the other person's identity and some kind of "token" they were carrying.
Ollis nodded vigorously: "I'm very sure! Those two people had a strong smell of perfume on them. I definitely won't remember it wrong."
"Well done! Now, you and Fangus can go back and rest."
Zuo Si reached out and touched the werewolf boy's hairy head.
Um……
The feel is a little hard, but still within the acceptable range.
The boy was somewhat surprised that the "master" would be willing to interact so intimately with a "cursed" group like himself.
An expression of being touched and flattered suddenly appeared on the wolf-like face.
Of course, he didn't know that Zuo Si's skillful movements were simply the result of his habit of petting dogs on Earth, and he would subconsciously reach out and touch any furry animals he saw.
After all, in the eyes of "Frui fans", "big cats" are also cats, and werewolves are essentially no different from cute little dogs.
Although in many stories and legends of Faerun, werewolves are described as bloodthirsty, cruel and ruthless beasts.
But after spending some time together, Zuo Si felt that these little guys were not inherently evil and chaotic.
It's just that sometimes the curse contained in the innate lycanthropy cannot be suppressed.
In addition, civilized society has long discriminated against, rejected and hated those with beastiality...
As beastmen grow older, they will inevitably become more and more easily dominated by their animal nature, and will increasingly hate the "normal people" who once discriminated against and excluded them.
Once the curse is suppressed through magic rituals, Zuo Si can completely eliminate the disadvantages of beastism and turn it into a truly capable helper.
Apart from anything else, the fact that they are good at gathering information and tracking by smell and footprints is enough to highlight the huge advantages of werewolves.
In addition, by transforming into a beast form or a half-beast form, you can also gain an all-round bonus to strength, agility and physique attributes.
With a little training, you can become a natural warrior, ranger, or even a druid.
After watching the two little werewolves disappear into the night, the soldier immediately asked, "Master, how are you going to get in? You should know that we have not received an invitation, and we don't have any tokens to prove our identity."
“It’s not that simple.
Why did the other party take such a huge risk to hold a secret auction? Of course, it was to make more money!
So they had no reason to reject a young nobleman who was rich, generous, and spoiled and would spend money lavishly.
Remember, from now on, call me Master Hardman."
After saying that, Zuo Si took off the cloak used to conceal his identity, revealing an expensive dress that he had bought at a tailor shop for 150 gold coins half an hour ago.
Especially the large amount of hand-made gold embroidery and gem-studded buttons on it. Anyone who is not blind can tell that this is definitely not a piece of clothing that an ordinary wealthy family can afford.
What's more, children grow very fast.
The clothes that fit you this year may not fit you next year.
Perhaps only the noble class in Port Calin could afford to customize such expensive and high-profile clothes for a ten-year-old child.
It goes without saying that Zuo Si intends to use the "advantage" of his appearance and age to sneak in by using force and shenanigans.
After all, no one would suspect that a ten-year-old boy who looked noble, behaved with a sense of superiority, and was obviously spoiled, would be a spy from the Thieves Guild.
Just the opposite!
This is the most popular customer at any auction.
Because once they see something they like or want, they don’t care how much it costs.
"I see!"
The soldier immediately understood Zuo Si's idea and took out a heavy leather bag full of gold coins from the dimensional bag he carried with him and held it in his hand.
Immediately afterwards, the two men walked one after the other without any disguise, straight to the entrance leading to the lower cabin of the ship.
The moment they stepped onto the deck of the ship, both the sailor in charge of watching over the cargo and the two people hiding in the only entrance cast a vigilant look at them.
Because they are so high-profile.
His attire was out of place at the dock.
It felt like a wealthy nobleman suddenly walked into the slums with his loyal guards, which was filled with an indescribable sense of incongruity.
In order to play the role of a spoiled young nobleman well, Zuo Si deliberately covered his nose with a silk handkerchief, his face full of disgust and disdain for the dirty and messy surroundings.
