"It's annoying!"

Danica closed the book, casually tossed the pen aside, straightened her hands upward, tilted the chair back a few times, shook it a few times, and then moved back to its original angle. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

She pressed her face to the table, tilted her head to look at the book next to her and the pen that happened to be thrown onto it, and the world seemed to stand still, except for the sounds outside the room.

Danica remained still, continuing to bury her face on the table, and many troubled thoughts in her heart seemed to disappear suddenly, a little uncanny tranquility. Breathe slowly, do nothing, and let time pass so slowly.

"There are five days left. ”

In five days, she will be able to leave here, and in another five days, she will be on her way home.

"Hey, twice as much money as expected. ”

For all the things that were bought on the way here, Danica spent money to send letters to the city of Ritancpa, and then spent money to send letters to the merchants, and put an extra silver coin in the letters, so as to delay the time of pick-up and let the sellers keep them for a little longer.

"Hopefully things will go well with the pickup. ”

Although it was at its busiest time in the mountain city, there was no way but to arrange for some people to go over to pick up the goods.

Otherwise, it will take too long, and I don't know how those merchants will increase the storage fee.

"It's all about money. ”

Danica felt distressed and continued to lie motionless on the table.

It was quiet, and after less than ten minutes of staying like this, I heard a sharp knock on the door.

"Danica, I'm back. ”

“……”

I really don't want to move if I can.

"Come in. ”

The lazy thought crossed her mind, and contrary to the thought, Danica looked up and got up from her chair.

"Why are you smiling so brightly?"

Paz had a smile on his face, but he couldn't hide it, and somehow, Danica felt a little upset.

"It's been a good few days, what's the catch?"

"I'll show you! Wait a minute. ”

Paz turned to the door, glanced out into the hallway, and then returned to the room.

"So cautious? ”

"Be quiet. ”

"Whispering, who was so excited just now?"

Paz closed the window, closed the curtain, walked over to Danica, crouched down, and untied the hoops around her feet.

"Paz you?"

Paz removed the two dazzling and shiny gold chains.

"This is my gain, I picked up a big bargain. ”

“…… How did you earn it?"

"You should be happy, why do you have such a strange expression?"

"I wonder how you earned it, Path, to get this valuable thing in just a few days, and you were too lucky, right?"

"It's a bit more complicated, and I think I'm going to say it. Paz thought for a moment, "Haven't I been out there these days? I met a merchant who was generous and fabricated a noble identity, and the merchant immediately believed it, and after observing him for a few days, he found that he often went to a tavern. ”

Paz looked at the glittering chain in front of him and continued, "I also took the opportunity to get closer to him and went to the tavern every day to chat with him. ”

"Go to the tavern? you didn't get me in any trouble, did you? I haven't seen you back to the hotel these days...... What time will you be back?

"You're underestimating me!"

"Underestimating, a tavern is so complicated! And then, what's going on. ”

"Talking to him, I asked him about how to please the person he liked, and I helped with ideas. ”

“…… The merchant was so careless that he didn't suspect you. ”

"Hey, I also have acting skills!"

"Yes, yes. ”

"I don't want to think that I've been trained in manners like you since I was a child. ”

"But you skipped class every time, and Dawn wanted to train you to be his successor. ”

“…… I don't think of a successor. ”

"I suggested that guy buy some jewelry, women like it, and the next day he actually bought it, and let me look at it. ”

"You...... Shouldn't it?"

"Of course not, not the kind you think. ”

Then he came to the tavern in frustration and confided in me that the person he liked did not accept the gift, and when he came out of the tavern, he threw away the gold chain as garbage, and I picked it up. ”

“…… That's a big bargain. ”

Danica looked at Paz and bit her lip, but didn't smile.

"What? don't you believe me?"

“…… You should know what the merchant is like, and this is Serbro, if you are not happy, you will throw away the high-priced things as garbage, how likely do you think it is, this can't be a scam, is there such a stupid merchant in this world? Even the nobles don't throw away their money casually, unless it's a big nobleman who has so much money that he has nowhere to spend it. ”

"Danica, if you don't believe it, forget it! I won't give you these two things!"

"Paz?"

Paz was so angry that he grabbed the chains and put them in his pocket, turned and walked away without looking back.

"What the hell! I'm just analyzing the facts......"

In the face of Path's anger, Danica also felt a little angry.

It didn't take long for her to shake her head abruptly.

“…… No, he said that this thing was impossible, no matter how he thought about it, he didn't feel right. ”

"Really, I almost believed his argument and was brought in by him!"

There must be something wrong, if it's not to hide it, it must be lying.

To be honest, Danica still found it hard to believe that Paz was lying, why would he do it? It wouldn't be stealing? He couldn't have known what the consequences of stealing would be, and Paz didn't look like someone who would do such a thing.

"This guy is really enough, no matter what the reason, he dares to lie to me. ”

Danica didn't want to linger for a moment, and left the room to find Path.

"Path, I have something to ask you. ”

"Paz!"

When he opened the door to Paz's room, there was no one inside.

“……”

Danica turned around and ran to the lobby of the inn to inquire about the whereabouts of the waiter Path, and learned that she had just seen a teenager running out in a hurry, and it was probably Path.

"This guy!"

Danica gritted her teeth in hatred.

"He must have planned it, knowing that I would run to him. ”

There was still some time before dark, and Vance hadn't returned yet, and Danica felt it might be bad if she hadn't found Paz before dark.

Danica gave the waiter a few copper coins and told him to send a message to Vance that if Vance returned, tell him to go to Paz himself, hoping that Vance would help him find it.

"Where the hell has Paz gone? ”

"By the way, the tavern, the tavern that Paz will go to......"

Danica thought about it for a few moments, the tavern that was suitable for merchants and nobles in Serbrory could only be the kind of place where the middle class went, and too high-class tavern merchants couldn't go, and ordinary small nobles couldn't go. Then, the place that can accommodate these two different classes at the same time, several times the whole of Serbro, but fifteen.

I can only find them one by one.

"Good risk, good risk......"

Paz muttered quietly as he walked towards the city gate.

"I didn't expect to really use that kind of unreliable rhetoric to successfully hide from her. ”

However, as a result of this, Paz was honestly a little apprehensive.

After going back, she will definitely be scolded by her, maybe she has reacted at this time and is looking for herself everywhere.

However, it is also difficult to believe such a thing, and it is likely to be suspected.

"One step at a time. ”

Paz said to himself. The things he said to Danica were not all wrong, half of them were true, and the other half were made up. In the past few days, when he was wandering around looking for opportunities to make money, Paz did meet a merchant in the tavern, and when he went to the tavern on the second and third days, he also saw the merchant, and every day he was seen drinking with a sad face.

Paz fabricated a fake identity in an attempt to gain the favor of the businessman.

From the first day of complete ignorance, and then to the next few days of the beginning to vomit some bitterness of doing business.

Didn't come on the fourth day, and came to the tavern again on the fifth day.

"I really want to kill that guy. ”

The merchant confided in Paz, "Brother, although I haven't known you for a long time, I'm just a waste of business failures now, so you might as well find someone else to cooperate." ”

"Everyone fails at times. ”

"You're so young. ”

Paz looked down at his cup, thinking to himself that there seemed to be little hope of continuing to spend on this man, and it would still make sense if he could use a small amount of money to get the business that this down-and-out merchant had given up.

The premise is that this guy won't be in debt, but this kind of thing, if you ask it directly, you won't really answer it.

It didn't take long for the merchant to settle the bill and leave. Paz focused on several other targets he had discovered in the past few days and continued to look for opportunities to make money. At about eleven o'clock in the evening, Paz left the tavern, a little dizzy, trying to stay awake.

"That old merchant is too good to drink......

"I won't be able to take credit next time...... Belch. ”

The money spent on going to the tavern these days, plus the outfit on his body, Paz owes eighty gold coins to others.

"If you have to find a way, if you can't find a way to make money, Danica will definitely kill me. ”

As he spoke, his vision in front of him was a little shaky, and his steps were a little shaky.

"No more. ”

Paz crouched down and pressed his forehead.

"I want to vomit ......"

Having finally shaken off this disgusting feeling, Paz got up again and walked towards the inn, walking on the familiar route back, which was safe at this point in time, after all, close to the palace, there would be patrols even if it was late.

Two streets to walk back to the inn, and before entering the area, Paz took off his coat and crumpled it under his armpit to avoid thieves and stealing things.

Walking under the streetlight, Paz felt nausea come up again, and stood on the streetlight for a while.

"I'm starting to hate this stuff. ”

Looking around, trying to distract himself from something, Paz's eyes suddenly widened.

Somewhere in the field of vision, there seems to be something.

It was a place outside the light of the street lamp, and there seemed to be a pair of shoes lying on the ground protrudingly.

Paz walked over to see if it was a pair of shoes, why were there shoes thrown on the ground, even if it was garbage, there was a garbage can not be left nearby.

Maybe it was just a small thing, and Paz should have ignored it and went straight back to the inn.

But, inexplicably, Paz had the feeling of wanting to go over and take a look.

As he got closer, Paz understood why, he had seen the shoes, and the owner of the shoes was the merchant.

Approaching the shoes, Paz looked up and saw the merchant sitting on the ground with his head down.

"Hey, wake up. ”

Half-crouched down and reached out to the merchant, grabbed his shoulder and shook it, trying to wake him up.

Paz never expected that when he let go of his hand, not only did the other party not wake up, but he also fell to the side and fell to the ground, and two things that almost flashed his eyes fell out of his pocket.

“…… What's going on with this guy. ”

"Wake up, he won't really get drunk, will he? No, he's still fine when he leaves the tavern......"

Paz suddenly thought of a possibility that he couldn't bear to think about, but he couldn't help but think about it.

Stretched out his hand again, before touching the other party, he heard footsteps from behind, he was really startled, and subconsciously wanted to leave, when he crossed the merchant's side, he noticed the two valuable ornaments on the ground, grabbed them without thinking, and left quickly.

Back at the hotel, Paz felt like he was safe.

The next morning, reflecting on what he had experienced last night, Paz felt his heart beat too hard.

"Oops, it's really bad now......"

"What to do?!"

"What the hell should I do?"

Panicked and overwhelmed, Paz heard a knock on the door.

"Path, are you up?

"No, no, I woke up late, I didn't sleep well yesterday and didn't feel well. ”

"Well, I don't have time to wake you up, just come over and say hello, and you can say hello to Vance in a moment. ”

Danica leaves, and Paz pulls out the two gold chains they brought back with them last night.

“…… Say it? Danica, she wouldn't believe it. ”

"No, no, it's not a question to focus on now, what's wrong with that merchant, why is he sitting on the side of the road, it's so strange, it's really weird......"

"Give these two things back to him, it's not good not to pick them up if they fall to the ground...... Haha......"

"Damn...... Why should I go there......"

"By the way, talk to Vance?!"

Paz wanted to go to Vance, plucked up the courage to go to Vance's room, prepared to be scolded and beaten by him, knocked on the door for a while, and Vance was not inside.

"You won't eat in the restaurant, will you? Danica is there. ”

"Confess!"

With this in mind, Paz went to the restaurant, swept around, saw Vance and Danica, and asked the waiter, only to find out that Danica had gone out five minutes earlier.

"This guy is running too fast!"

Paz spent the morning cleaning up this flustered state of mind with a worried and complicated mood, but it didn't make much sense. In the end, Paz decided to wait until noon to see if Vance was there, and if Vance returned, he should be consulted.

"Ahhh

Forget it, it was splashed out, and Paz decided to go to the street last night and inquire.

"I hope I won't be seen as suspicious by others......"

With this unapprehensive feeling of still apprehension, Paz threw aside the coat he had worn the previous day, changed into his usual clothes, and walked out of the inn and headed for the place.

Finally mustered up the courage to walk to the place he had passed last night, but Path's eyes widened.

"It's gone!"

"Haha, sure enough, I'm thinking too much, yes, how can I be here, he's obviously drunk, how could I think of that kind of thing, I'm really stupid. ”

Then, as if at ease, Paz planned to stay until the evening and go to the tavern to return the goods to the merchant.

At four o'clock, before Danica could return, she changed into her outfit and began to walk towards the tavern.

However, from five to six, from six to seven......

Paz still hadn't seen the merchant.

"It's weird. ”

Paz asked the bartender about the merchant.

The bartender, who was wiping his glass, looked around, and told Paz that the merchant wouldn't be coming again.

It turned out that there was a follow-up to last night's events, and Paz heard footsteps behind him, which happened to be the bartender of this tavern. The bartender, who came from behind, saw the merchant lying on the ground and hurried to find the patrolling soldiers.

"Who did such a thing, and who did that guest offend? ”

The bartender talked to Paz about it, and once the topic was opened, it was out of control, and he stopped talking for more than half an hour.

Paz didn't know what he was walking out of the tavern.

Paz doesn't know how to explain this to Danica when he gets back to the inn, and eventually, he comes up with a lie that he hopes will be able to hide from him, and he doesn't know if he made the right decision.
