Chapter 166: Little Girl Irene
Outside the store, Ariel complained to Ayton depressedly: "Brother, why did they let us leave and we left, so I didn't pay attention to those few wastes"
"Rubbish?" Ayton looked at Ariel with some amusement, "There is a sixth-order powerhouse among them, are you sure we can beat him?"
"But... They're too arrogant," Ariel pursed her lips, her momentum weakening.
Ayton smiled slightly: "In this Yaolan Imperial Capital, it is better for us to be careful. ”
"Hmph, brother, that man will definitely be rejected, come out with a disgraced face and believe it or not, don't you just don't want us to see his jokes when we come out?"
As if to verify Ariel's words, the young nobleman really walked out expressionless in such a short time, as if nothing had happened just now, but Ayton still saw a trace of gloom in his eyes.
"You're so smart, you guessed it right," Ayton tapped the tip of her little nose, and the two nibbled on the unfinished bread again.
"What are your two names?" asked Via suddenly.
Ayton gave a brief introduction, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "What's wrong?
A trace of worry appeared in Via's eyes: "It's nothing, I just hope you have been careful in the last few days, although Cleveland is quite famous in rumors, but there is a shortcoming, that is, you are more cautious, you just now..."
Without her to continue, Ayton knew what she was trying to say: "Don't worry, we'll be fine."
Ariel gestured to kill: "If he really dares to send someone, I'll kill as many as he wants."
"By the way, that Holy See priest, does she often heal people?"
There are very few doctors in this world, and usually people will go to the nearest church to pray when they are sick, and only when they are injured will they spend a lot of money to ask the priest of light to release magical healing.
"That's right, Miss Vanessa is in the church subdivision of the South Side, and many poor people in the South Side, and even the East and West Side, will ask her to come for treatment, and she rarely charges patients."
Instead of lamenting her kindness, Ayton was deeply puzzled: "No charge, so isn't she touching the interests of many people?"
"This... Because many people know that Cleveland is courting her, most people will give her some face, which is hardly a secret in the East End."
"I see... I see."
"Do you know anything?
"We'll have to be careful again after we know we're going to have to be careful," Ayton slammed on her head, and if it weren't for her act of not taking him seriously, he wouldn't have to worry about the powerful Carlyle family in Brilliant City.
Wei Ya looked helplessly at the two who were not afraid of heaven and earth, didn't know what to say, and walked to the residence with her father after saying goodbye.
After Ayton finished breakfast, he and Ariel walked in the direction of the East End, he didn't have time to care about the young nobles' thoughts, but the kindness of the black-haired priestess left a lot of influence on him... If you get hurt in the future...
Not far from them, Cleveland's gloomy face was no longer hidden, and he slammed his fist into the old wall, cracking from the center to all sides with a thud.
"For the fiftieth time... Why? I managed to convince my father why she didn't say yes to me!"
His guards were silent, and they had seen the same scene no less than thirty times. It was still the sixth-order guard chief who went up to comfort him: "Young master, or... Give her some color and show it, so that she may know the young master's heart for her. ”
"No, what do you want? What does she want? Can any of you tell me?" Cleveland clenched his fists and spoke out of indignation, but after a long time, he still couldn't think of a good way, whether it was the traditional sending of flowers, roses, or the aristocratic kneeling proposal... He's used them all.
Even this time, contrary to family tradition and swearing in the name of her surname that she would love her only in this life, Vanessa's attitude was still lukewarm, and by the way, they seemed to be getting farther and farther away, and she had been in the East Side church before, but now she took the initiative to relocate to the dirty South Side.
After a long time, Cleveland let go of his clenched fist and said in a deep voice: "What are the origins of those two people, let's give them some color first."
Of course, the chief of the guard knew who he was talking about, so he bent down respectfully and said, "My subordinates obey the order, and I will definitely give a satisfactory answer to the young master before tonight."
As if the pressure had been vented, Cleveland's furrowed brow eased slightly.
If Ayton knew that it was because of Ariel's actions just now, that they were being targeted by a force again, I don't know what their expression would be.
But he didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the problem at this time, and wandered around the bustling streets with Ariel, Langya's goods and jewelry made the two of them bleed, but fortunately Ariel knew that Ayton's wallet was deflated, and did not offer any words to buy.
But then again, Ariel is not in the habit of wearing jewelry, bringing too many bells and whistles only affects her agility, and even after the transformation of the Fraud Orb, her appearance is still one of the best in the crowd.
Her beautiful face doesn't need any carmine fandel, and her innocent smile will never allow passers-by to associate her with the murderous dark elves.
"Brother, what is this?" Ariel looked curiously at a circular pillar with a few chicken feathers stuck in it.
"It's supposed to be a toy," Ayton quickly recognized, a child's toy that looked like a shuttlecock.
When encountering something funny, Ayton directly paid for a shuttlecock and kicked it a few times, making people wonder if it was the first time he played it.
With his cultivation reaching his level, it was easy to deal with such a pediatric toy.
"Brother, let me come" Ariel quickly understood how this thing was playing, and snatched Ayton's shuttlecock kick in the air.
Luckily, she wears close-fitting leather pants, and if she jumps around the street in the skirt that women often wear, she will inevitably run out of sight.
It didn't cost much anyway, so Ayton collected kites, whistles, and other knick-knacks and put them all in a new backpack behind him.
Suddenly, Ayton stared and turned his head to look behind him, but there was only a bustling crowd...
"Brother, what's wrong?" asked Ariel in a low voice as she put away her playfulness for a moment and leaned closer to Ayton's side.
"I feel like someone is watching us, be careful" A gloom flashed between Ayton's brows, and the potential threat was the most worrying than the danger on the surface. Thinking about the people he had encountered in the past few days, the officers guarding the city gates... The 'Black Finger' of the Southern District Underground Forces... A gentlemanly aristocrat named Jeff Babbitt... and Cleveland Carlyle, the noble boy who encountered the 'Little Fat Man' restaurant not long ago...
It's a pity that he knows too little information now, and he doesn't have a clue at all.
"Hmm—" Ariel turned her head silently, continuing to cooperate with Ayton as if nothing had happened.
Like this kind of anti-tracking, first of all, you must not expose yourself to find a tracker behind you, you must induce the other party to show up through a trap, and the two continue to shop in style.
Soon it was noon again, and Ayton had designed countless flaws, and even the two had been separated for a while, but the stalker had not been found.
In desperation, the two decided to go to the dwarven forge shop 'Copper Axe' after lunch, and collect a certain profit.
Although Chili would not have sold the 'epic' in such a short period of time, after all, his sword was stored with him, and the latter would definitely be happy to pay him first, which would be used to pay off the outstanding house price and the furniture he always had to buy.
As for where to eat at noon... This was a problem because they were on a shopping street with a lot of restaurants along the way, but it was also overcrowded.
Coupled with an unknown tracker behind him, Ayton didn't want to get in trouble, so he decided to go to the 'Drunken Dreams' hotel that he had eaten yesterday at noon.
It was as deserted as ever, and if it weren't for the plaque hanging on it, Ayton would have thought it was just a secret stronghold.
Pulling the curtain open, the middle-aged man in his thirties with thick eyebrows and big eyes was still meticulously wiping the glass.
After confirming that the store was still open, Ayton put down the two silver coins without hesitation: "Boss, two more steaks." ”
The middle-aged man just nodded silently, calling out his wife, who was taking care of his daughter behind the curtain, to come out to entertain the guests, and he himself was not as enthusiastic as the ordinary shop owner after seeing the guests coming.
No wonder this steak is well cooked, but there are so few guests... Ayton glanced at his calloused palms again, perhaps it had something to do with his previous occupation.
His young wife entertained them as warmly as yesterday, and in a few moments two deep-fried steaks were served.
"Brother, I'm moving"
"Well, eat slowly, be careful of choking," Ayton reminded softly. In fact, what he meant by this was that she should be careful that she put unclean things in it, and it was better to taste it carefully.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine" Ariel didn't care and cut a piece with a knife and put it in her mouth, and said vaguely: "Ordinary things can't get me"
After many years in the dark underworld, the dark elves' originally weak physique has successfully evolved a weak ability to resist poison, not to mention that Mentor Sharpena had fed these two a lot of strange herbs before, and the body's ability to resist poison is not extremely strong, but it is not so easy to poison.
After tasting a small bite, they found that there was indeed no problem, and the two of them enjoyed the lunch meal with confidence.
As if because of the seldom of the house, the little girl slipped out of the back room again, and by her slow pace it was evident that the girl was quite weak.
It seems that because of the two people she saw yesterday, Erin was much bolder, and walked out in a thin white pajamas, and her eyes fell on a bunch of gadgets that Ayton had bought.
And this time, the landlady stopped her curiosity and sat at the counter with her husband talking about something.
It was a strange feeling to be stared at by a little girl, and Ayton took out a delicate handmade wooden doll from the cloth bag and shook it in front of her, successfully seducing her attention.
Ayton gave a good-natured smile and beckoned her over. The middle-aged man saw it in his eyes, and let out a light cough in his throat, which made the girl, who was originally a little moved, stop and shake her head on the spot.
Ayton smiled helplessly, it seems that people are quite vigilant, after all, the Nether Sword that the two of them are carrying is not a gadget.
"Brother, you're actually interested in this girl too?" Ariel glanced up at Ayton, a hint of disdain in her expression.
"What nonsense" Ayton couldn't help but want to flick her nose, but she tilted her head defensively to dodge it.
"And what did you just want to do?" Ariel looked at him suspiciously
Ayton whispered innocently, "I just wanted to give her a little puppet." ”
"Really?"
"Of course it's true!"
"Well, you want to give my things away to someone else," Ariel muttered, with a hint of anger in her expression.
"I... You don't have to care about that one..."
"I don't care, I'm not happy, you have to go shopping with me tomorrow, no, you have to accompany me for three days and buy a lot of things..."
The words of Ayton's explanation suddenly stuck in his throat, it turned out that her purpose was this, what she said just now was all foreshadowing, and he wanted to continue to study the drawings tomorrow.
Looking at Ayton in the circle, Ariel suddenly giggled, in fact, she was only interested in these gadgets for a while, and now she has long lost that freshness, even if she loses it, it doesn't matter.
"Master, there is a fifth-order peak powerhouse approaching" Mei'er reminded softly in his mind.
The pinnacle of the fifth order?
"Ariel, someone's coming. Ayton's expression froze, and he motioned for Ariel to put away her jokes.
