The guard let him through, and Wu Heng walked straight in.
The woman with six arms, still dressed in extravagant finery, wore gold adornments on her neck and wrists.
"What information do you require?" the woman looked up at him, one of her arms lifting to brush her hair.
Wu Heng asked, "Is it alright to speak here?"
The woman seemed startled and glanced around, "You all, leave us."
The few people in the room left promptly, leaving only two guards by the door.
The woman said, "Speak then, what do you wish to know?"
"Information about pirates."
The activity in the woman's hands paused, she looked up, "That might be a wasted trip for you, we control some information on the island, but pirate groups never stay in one place for long, I can't provide any news for you."
From her tone,
there was some aversion to bringing up the matter of pirates.
The reason for this shouldn't be too hard to guess.
