Chapter Ninety-Five: Infiltrating the City
News of the impending beast tide quickly spread through the village, and the villagers gathered their belongings and went into the city to take shelter.
People are already familiar with the process, and there is little panic in the anxiety.
The hunters told the lord of the village, the knights—the villages outside the city were usually given to knights—and the knights told the news to Viscount Coldcone;
The Viscount then ordered the gates to be opened, allowing the villagers of Gangmu to take refuge in the city—a word that soon spread to other villages near the city walls.
Eddie, of course, couldn't show his head - even if the situation near the city gate was somewhat chaotic at this time, and the soldiers' main purpose was to maintain order rather than search, and safety had to come first;
In the temporary house, there was a large wooden box that had not been taken away, and Eddie hid in the box with his luggage, and then asked Gray Wrist to spend three copper plates to hire a strong man from the village to help carry the box to the old man at the grocery store;
Of course, the "identity" Eddie has already explained to the three of them in advance, they are now "researchers", and the box is naturally "research equipment"; because the clothing styles of the three are relatively old, it is also in line with the temperament of "research";
...... As long as you pretend to be profound, don't talk too much, and you won't be exposed.
The old man was quite convinced by Eddie's previous behavior, and he readily agreed to put the large, tightly sealed wooden box on the wagon—from the outside, there really wasn't much to be seen;
The three of them also sat together in the carriage.
When they arrived at the city gate, the soldiers had already begun to organize the villagers to enter the city in an orderly manner;
At this moment, it was getting late, and dark clouds were still floating in the air in the distance, and the scene was becoming more and more depressing;
However, to Eddie's satisfaction, the soldier didn't care about the old man's side at all - he just let the group go;
After all, even if you really want to search, the target of the search is a teenager who is "handsome with silver hair", plus a criterion is "there is an elderly attendant by your side";
Therefore, the soldiers would not be suspicious of the two old men and the two young girls at all.
As for the vans...... Since it was completely unknown to what extent the village would be damaged when the monster attacked, the wagons and rickshaws were one after another, and the soldiers did not have time to check them at all;
In this way, Add managed to infiltrate the city.
Naturally, these residents who have flocked to the city also need to be resettled - sleeping directly on the street may cause chaos;
In view of the large number of people who could not afford or did not want to live in hotels, large and simple shacks were set up on the edge of the town of Gangmu - specially prepared for these villagers who had taken refuge, and had no other purpose than rest.
Eddie naturally couldn't get out of the box in public, so Grey Wrist took out three more copper plates and asked a strong man to help carry them to a more secluded alley nearby;
After seeing the strong man go away, the gray wrist opened the lock of the wooden box with some anxiety - after not breathing for so long, will the young master be suffocated?
"Whew...... It's finally over. Eddie, who slowly sat up from the box, put his hand on his forehead, "This is too shaky......"
Fortunately, the weather is cloudy this time, otherwise I will definitely be more dizzy after being stuffy in the dark for so long...... Add thought.
"The young master has suffered...... "Gray wrist clenched his fist, his heart was like a drop of blood, "I am incompetent...... Alas!"
"Don't blame yourself, it's for my safety. Add reassured, "Alright, it's time for us to pack our things......
The main luggage was in the wooden box with Add, and many things made him a little dizzy when the carriage was bumpy;
However, every time Eddie gripped the small bag, he could feel infinite power from it-
Well, the bag contained jewels that had been scavenged from the baron.
"This box...... Just throw it here. After the luggage was allocated, Eddie glanced at the wooden box and said;
He felt that no one would come in the short term, so there would be no safety problems.
After some tossing, the stomachs of the four people are already hungry, and the most priority at this time is naturally to find a place to eat;
It must be said that the size of the city is larger than that of the town, the main streets are paved with stone slabs, which is relatively comfortable to walk on, and the buildings on both sides of the road are more abundant, in addition to taverns, inns and some grocery stores, there are some entertainment places;
Judging from the information received from Kaedetown, it seems that there are still some places where duels can be won by bounties - of course, they don't show the surface, and Add has little interest in that kind of dangerous place.
Considering that the information transmitted by Baron Glaswolf was extremely confidential, Eddie felt that as long as Viscount Cold's head was still normal, he would not spread this kind of news too widely, and even the soldiers under his command should only know that "I want to arrest a silver-haired young man with a far better appearance than ordinary people, and there is an old man by his side as an entourage";
Well, just pay a little attention in front of the soldiers—Eddie thought;
It's okay to go to the guilds to find out the information.
Add found a tavern of a modest size, and although it was past dinner, it was still lively-
Most of the people here are residents from outside the village.
"Welcome, welcome, what are you going to do?" the boss's smile looked a little stiff;
I guess it's because the guests here are a little cold...... Add looked around the room and saw that most people were just chewing on bread, and a few would ask for soup and pickles, which didn't seem to be too expensive;
"Four loaves of bread. "Eddie doesn't intend to care about face.
“...... First of all, let me tell you, the brown bread here sells for three copper plates and one. The boss's smile still looks lively;
Is this a temporary price increase...... Thinking of this, Eddie suddenly felt that it was better to improve the food slightly.
"Then change it, come to this, this and this ......" Eddie was uncharacteristically and ordered a more sumptuous meal;
This meal is considered ...... Well, treat your men. Add thought so;
Eddie doesn't want to spend money in vain, so why not spend more to enjoy a hearty meal?
At this moment, Orange Wind's eyes were glowing, and she couldn't stop swallowing her saliva - she hadn't eaten well at the celebration banquet in Maple Castle before, and she had to find a good place now;
Eddie smiled and patted her on the head, then chose a place by the window to sit down;
As soon as his pants made contact with the chair, Eddie abruptly stood up again and shifted to a position opposite the table and not by the window;
For he saw a small group of soldiers patrolling the streets approaching from afar—
