Chapter 464: Desire
Ivig, Adria.
At noon, on the bank of a quiet river in Adria, in the elegantly decorated city library, Dorothy sat in a corner along the river. On the small table in front of her was a pile of Ivig's local books collected by the library. Although a book from the library was spread out in front of Dorothy, she had no intention of reading the contents of the book carefully at this moment. What she was thinking about now was the situation in Tivian far away.
"Combining the information sent by Greg and Adele, the approximate location of the Northern Ukrainian bandits is now clear. They didn't expect that they would choose a place like this to hide in the end, Blackwater Street in Tivian."
Sitting in her seat, Dorothy looked out the window at the boats passing by in the river and couldn't help thinking that the hiding place of those guys was in the south city, which was not a good thing for her.
'In Tivian, the South City and West City are both relatively chaotic areas with poor security and environment, and Blackwater Street is the worst of them. If you don't know anything about Tivian, you won't choose such a place as a hiding place.
"Being able to find a gang of drivers to help transport things, and being able to choose the South City as a hiding place, this doesn't seem like something a group of foreigners who have just arrived can do. It seems that they must have someone who is quite familiar with Tivian as an advisor? Or is it more in line with their characteristics to kill a local gangster in Tivian and then summon his soul? Hum... In a sense, it is also easy for the Silence Beyonders to collect intelligence..."
Dorothy thought so, and then she quickly realized the difficulty she was facing now, that is, the sudden change of scene by this group of robbers weakened the intelligence force she controlled a lot.
'The police that Greg called on were all from East Tivian, and Adele's power base was also in East Tivian. Now that this group of guys suddenly moved to South Tivian, Greg and Adele's intelligence capabilities could not keep up for a while, and I don't have any local acquaintances in the South City... It's very difficult to find someone there.'
Dorothy thought so, and then her gaze shifted from the boat sailing on the water outside the window to the "Sea Navigation Log" on the table in front of her. On the unfolded communication page, Adele's notes were displayed.
Not long ago, Adele ordered her men to enter Blackwater Street to investigate, looking for clues about five northern Ukrainian foreigners and a kidnapped person, but nothing was found. No one had seen any foreigners entering Blackwater Street recently, and kidnappings were not uncommon here. No one was specifically concerned about any particular case. Adele's influence in the South City was not enough for her to find out the deeper secrets buried in this area.
'Although it has been confirmed for several days that this group of people is in Blackwater Street, Blackwater Street itself is not small, and it is very chaotic with all kinds of people. Since those guys did not choose this place as a hiding place, it proves that they realized that their kidnapping behavior might lead to the investigation of Tivian officials. When they realized that someone would track them down, they would be more cautious than when they first came to Tivian. In addition, Adele's influence in the South City is not enough, resulting in no results at all.'
Looking at Adele's handwriting on the "Navy Log", Dorothy analyzed in her mind that this group of people were not so cautious and covert when they first came to Tivian because they planned to raid the Boyle family, evacuate immediately after taking the golden scepter, and leave Tivian quickly, so they didn't need to bother to hide anything too much.
However, the strength of Davis' secret room was beyond these guys' expectations, and they had no choice but to capture Nunott in order to get the method to open the secret room. However, in this way, they would have to stay in Tivian for a few days. After committing a basement robbery, their status would change from being unattended to being hunted, so it was natural for them to change their previous style and act in secret.
"It's a bit troublesome. Now those guys are hiding in Blackwater Street. Adele and Greg won't be able to find them for a while... Although we will definitely find clues if we spend time and search seriously, Nunot may not be able to hold on for much longer. I need to think of some way to find them as soon as possible."
Dorothy frowned and thought with a distressed look on her face. At this moment, she thought it would be better for her to be in Tivian. With her own reconnaissance ability, it would not be difficult for her to search a whole block.
"Right now, what I can rely on in Tivian is mainly the power of Greg and Adele. If we want to find those guys, the key is to make good use of their power."
Dorothy leaned back in the chair, biting the tip of a pen, thinking solemnly in her heart. Just when she was about to bite the pen tip to pieces, a trace of inspiration suddenly emerged in her mind.
…
Pritt, Tivian.
In the afternoon, on the street of the southern part of Tivian, a horse-drawn carriage stopped here after a long journey. The door of the carriage opened, and the leather shoes stepped on the black and dusty ground. A young man in a suit and tie, who looked extraordinary, got off the carriage. After getting off the carriage and standing still, he took out some fare from his pocket and handed it to the coachman. After collecting the fare, the coachman raised his hat, saluted and said goodbye to the young man, and then drove away quickly in the carriage.
After watching the carriage leave, Gregor, who had changed into another young face, turned around and looked at the street in front of him. What appeared before him was a side of Tivian that he had never shown him before.
Under the gray sky, low and dilapidated houses with only three or four floors are lined on both sides of the street. The dirty walls are covered with all kinds of small advertisements. On the narrow street that can only accommodate two carriages at most, there are two black ditches flowing with dark liquid. The street surface is also covered with a thin layer of black sewage, which is the product of the industrial area not far away. The industrial wastewater with problematic discharge measures often leaks into the street, which not only greatly affects the living environment here, but also earns this place the name of Black Water Street.
Enduring the pungent smell that was twice as bad as other places in Divian, Gregor continued to examine the scene in front of him. He saw people covered in dust walking listlessly on both sides of the street. Some people were only relying on manpower to drag and carry heavy goods. At the entrance of the alleys on the side of the street, there were vigilant eyes. At the end of the street was a tall chimney, emitting thick black smoke into the atmosphere.
"It feels... much worse than the lower town of Igwyn. Is this also Tivian?" Gregor muttered as he looked around. He had spent his first day in the lower town of Igwyn, working day and night in the factory. He had seen similar places in Igwyn, but the Blackwater Street in front of him was even worse than that in Igwyn.
'The good is better, the bad is worse... Is this Tivian?'
Thinking of the good environment in which he lived in the North District, Gregor sighed in his heart, and then he didn't think about it anymore, and walked deeper into Blackwater Street.
Blackwater Street is not just a street, but a block, and a fairly large one at that. Even if Gregor just walked around it briefly, it took him quite a while. By the time he had barely finished walking around it, it was almost dusk.
'This place is really big. Not only are there many dark alleys and complex terrain, but there are also quite a lot of people. It's very easy to hide or run. If you don't have any power and want to find someone here, it will be very difficult...
"So, we have to resort to some tricks..."
Gregor thought so in his mind, then he looked at the time on his watch, and after confirming the current moment, he walked towards the intersection of Blackwater Street, which was where he had just arrived at Blackwater Street. After arriving at the intersection, Gregor looked around, and finally found a dark red carriage in a hidden corner. Next to the carriage, there were several freight wagons. The cargo on the wagons was covered with canvas, and it was impossible to tell what it was. There were several people waiting next to the convoy.
After seeing the carriage, Gregor looked towards the person walking in that direction. The driver of the dark red carriage couldn't help but turn his gaze over when he saw Gregor.
"Excuse me...is this the car for the show?"
