Chapter 161

    How much can one know about the place where he lives? If you were born and raised here, can you learn more about every street, every building, every brick paved on the road? Sparrow can guarantee that he fully understands the city in which he lives. At least in the neighborhood he''s been to, this kid on the street knows better than anyone else about the city known as the city of the lion king. Here alleys, roads, constantly changing street scenery, and even the animals living in it, the little sparrow are all familiar with it. If necessary, he can even speculate on whether the road has been crossed recently by examining the excretion of stray animals in an alley.


    So when he heard that the shadow was going to deliver the cheese, sparrow volunteered to keep up with the bartender. Perhaps he thought that there was no danger in this kind of task. After noticing sparrow, who was carefully following him for fear of doing something wrong and being driven away, he just laughed and said nothing. As for magic, which is full of mystery and danger, let alone a child. Even the shadow himself has to admit that he is very curious about it.


    I know from the boss that cheese is now settled in the port area. He patted the pocket containing the information, and the shadow moved his joints. He turned to the little sparrow behind him.


    "Hey, boy. Do you know the shortcut to the port area? "


    After hearing the shadow''s words, sparrow was stunned for a moment. It seemed that he didn''t know why the killer of the King City asked himself this question. But then the sparrow realized that it was probably some kind of assessment of himself. If you want to get a place in the underground world of Wangdu, you must have some skills that others don''t have. At the thought of this, sparrow nodded his head, trotted two steps to the shadow''s position a step or so in front of him, and began to guide the latter.


    As for why the shadow is doing this, he is testing the child, as sparrow thought. It''s just that this test is not a test of whether a sparrow can be a qualified killer. The child is not old enough to receive training. The purpose of this test is to realize that cheese and their actions will certainly make the situation in Wangdu more tense, and since the boss has said that he will stand by the wizard, then the information transmission will not be too little.


    Considering that he won''t have time every time to carry out tasks that are important or unimportant and can''t be entrusted to others, sparrow, obsessed with cheese''s magical methods, is the best candidate to replace him as a liaison officer.


    The small sparrow is very innocent. It can be said that he grew up under the shadow eyelids. And the identity of the child will let most people not be wary of him, so it is more convenient to carry information. The only thing to pay attention to is whether the child is familiar with the terrain of Wangdu and his ability to respond to unexpected situations.


    The shadow behind sparrow thought that he could test his ability to recognize the road in such a way, but how to test the sparrow''s ability to adapt to circumstances? Recklessness and timidity can sometimes be more fatal than lack of ability.


    The shadow did not expect that he would have such a chance soon.


    They came out of the "red blood" in the late afternoon. With the shadow''s foot distance, he can walk much faster than ordinary people without riding a horse. Therefore, it is not difficult for him to complete the information delivery at dusk promised by "one eye" to cheese. After walking for a period of time, the shadow also found a small sparrow leading the way in front of him, but in terms of speed, maybe he could compete with his own. In addition, the two kept cutting corners, and the task might be smoother than expected.


    Until, as a killer''s intuition told the shadow that something was wrong


    "Boy, we''re being followed." Pretending to be intimate, the shadow lowered his head and whispered in Sparrow''s ear that people who didn''t know them might only see it as an interaction between a good couple of brothers.


    Hearing what the shadow said, the sparrow''s body was stiff, but soon the child returned to normal. For sparrow, who grew up on the streets since childhood, being tracked is nothing new. Besides, there was a powerful killer behind him. Sparrow had seen the seemingly weak bartender kill five adult men with a short dagger in a few breath.


    Satisfied with Sparrow''s reaction speed, the shadow doesn''t really care about the guys who follow him. In this city, there are only a few people who have the courage to follow the shadow. As for whether the other party will hire mercenaries from other areas, it is not worth paying attention to those who are not familiar with the terrain.


    Soon, under a series of instructions from the shadow, their whereabouts became as mysterious as ghosts. Many paths that only people who are very familiar with this area would know were fully utilized. Because the task of this time is to transmit information, shadow does not intend to waste time dealing with the pursuers, he just wants to get rid of each other.


    But things often don''t happen as expected. Even though the shadow has used his anti tracking technology to the extreme, and even took sparrow over several low walls, and through the window across a building, the feeling of being tracked did not disappear. On the contrary, the line of sight that people stare at becomes more clear.The shadow''s forehead began to exude some cold sweat, which was not due to intense exercise and outflow of sweat. The other person''s tracking skills are much better than the shadow imagine, and the other party''s familiarity with the street does not seem to be inferior to their own. This is interesting. The shadow of Wang Duzhong who can make this step can be called by his name, but he can be sure that the guy behind him is definitely not any of those people.


    "Sparrow, listen, it may not be what I thought. The guys behind us are a little tricky. You can''t let the wizard''s house out to them. " In leaping over the eaves of a two story building, the shadow said to the sparrow.


    "What about that? Can''t you even get rid of them? " There was a tremor in Sparrow''s voice, and for the child, the stalker more powerful than the shadow was beyond his imagination.


    "Don''t be afraid, you are a brave boy. I have a plan that we can use to get rid of this annoying tail The shadow''s voice was still calm, "but this plan needs your cooperation, which means you may have to act separately from me, understand?"


    Perhaps because he felt affirmed, or because he was excited by this unprecedented experience, sparrow nodded without much thought to show that he was willing to cooperate with the shadow''s plan. The two men are still at a high speed, but their direction of advance gradually deviates from the port area.
