Chapter Twenty-Three: The Escape Plan

"Cabaret, Hill City and Cabaret!"

"There are no entertainment venues in Hill City, only what you can't think of, there is nothing that we don't have in Hill City. Eve said.

"By the way, what is that place?" Mick asked Eve, pointing to a building in the distance.

"Oh, that's a tavern. ”

"Let's go there. Mick suggested.

Mick asked about the location because it was the closest to the city gate.

"Okay!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Arriving at the door of the tavern, there was a commotion coming from inside, and Mick couldn't help but frown.

Eve saw Mick's thoughts.

"Originally, this was not the case, because of the festival, the price of alcohol was extremely low, so there were a lot of people who came to drink, including many people who couldn't afford to drink alcohol on weekdays. When there are more people drinking, it will naturally be chaotic. ”

Mick nodded.

"Do you still want to go?"

"Go, of course. Mick stood by his guns.

Everyone walked into the tavern, and Mick knew that he had come to the right place, because there were so many people here, they were just drinking, chatting and bragging, and no one noticed them, but this was not exactly what Mick wanted.

They were basically in groups of three or five, all with thick necks and red faces, and they were making loud noises.

Mick and the others made their way through the crowd and sat down at the bar.

"What to drink. ”

"Do you have anything special here?" asked Marianne.

"We have the heart of the elven forest here, would you like to taste it?" said the boss.

"What is the Heart of the Forest?"

"It's one of our Hill City specialties. Eve replied.

"Your Hill specialty, didn't he say the elven specialty?" Mick asked.

Eve smiled awkwardly.

"Uh..... Haha, this is actually just a marketing ploy! Because it is well known that the brewing techniques of the elves and dwarves are unique in the entire continent. ”

"Then have a drink at this bar. Mick asked for their opinions.

"But it's not really good!" added Eve.

"Eh, little girl, don't talk nonsense! See how you don't even know how wonderful this wine is!"

Eve's words were heard by the boss, who certainly couldn't let her ruin her business.

"Then come to this bar, after all, it is the specialty of Hill City, there must be a reason for it. Sumel said.

Sumel is an outgoing girl, she is not afraid of alcohol, although her amount of alcohol is average, but she dares to drink.

"Hey, that's right, you're friends with the young city lord, are we fooling you?" said the boss, picking up the wine from the wine rack behind him and mixing it.

Mick and Marianne glanced at each other in unison.

How did the boss know that they were Seppur's friends, and that only the people who knew their identities were the people who were in the square at the time, and that the square was so big that no one could know them except the people in the front row who knew what they looked like.

Mick knew that this wine would never be drunk, and maybe they would have to explain it here today after taking this sip of wine.

But the boss had already prepared the wine and put it in front of everyone, it was a kind of emerald green wine, and it was very dangerous to look at the color.

Mick looked around, thinking of a countermeasure.

Seeing that Mick and Marianne didn't move the glass of wine, Fox and Sumel didn't dare to drink it easily.

"Drink it quickly, the wine that has just been mixed has a taste and a layer. If you leave it for a long time, it won't taste good. ”

The boss urged.

"Good!" said Mick, picking up his wine.

Marianne looked at Mick worriedly.

The wine was already on Mick's lips.

But just then, Mick saw a full shelf of wine behind the boss, and Mick had an idea.

He asked as he put down the wine in his hand and pointed to a beautifully decorated bottle of wine at the top of the wine rack.

"Eh, boss, what kind of wine is that? ”

"Oh, this!"

The boss seemed very happy to hear Mick ask about the bottle of wine, and forgot about urging Mick to drink, and then seemed to open the conversation box and told Mick about the history of this bottle of wine.

It turned out that the bottle was made by the first king in this tavern in the year of the founding of the country. So it has been preserved by this tavern to this day, and it has been passed down from generation to generation, which can be said to be the symbol of this tavern and the treasure of their town store.

"Oh, so there's a story about this bottle. ”

With that, Mick looked at Marianne, then put his hand on her lap and squeezed it.

"Huh!"

Marianne was suddenly pinched by Mick's leg and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise and quickly dodged, but in an instant she seemed to react to something and nodded to Mick.

This is Mick suddenly remembered something, and then looked at Eve.

"By the way, Eve, is there any family in this tavern?"

Eve was stunned by Mick's question.

"No, why do you ask?" asked Eve, confused.

"It's fine if you don't, I mean...... Take care!"

After saying that, Mick put his right hand on his left shoulder, and then instantly ripped off his hood, and the double knife instantly lit up, and then Mick slashed at the wine rack behind the boss.

"Whoa!"

The wine rack was divided into two, and the wine shelves were also scattered on the ground, and the whole tavern was full of wine in an instant.

The tavern was not panicked, but it was instantly quiet, and everyone did not know what was happening.

But at this time, Marianne moved, and saw that after she kicked her legs, she instantly lifted her long skirt, revealing her fair, well-proportioned and slender thighs.

However, beautiful things are dangerous, and Marianne instantly pulled out the pistol in her lap and slammed it into the liquor on the ground.

The bullet rubbed against the ground and sparked, which ignited the liquor in an instant.

"Whew"

With the sound of a clear flame burning, the entire tavern instantly became a sea of fire.

"Ahh

"It's on fire!

"Run!"

That's when the screams came one after another.

"Let's go!"

With Marianne's order, the four of them immediately ran out the door.

But Mick was suddenly pulled along.

It was Eve who grabbed him, and Eve was about to burst into tears when she saw them leaving.

"Mick, if you leave, the young city lord will not let me go. Eve said.

"Then leave Hill City. ”

"Where can I go with a girl?" Eve shook her head, tears finally welling up in her eyes.

"Then go to the Academy of Light to find us!"

With that, Mick shook off Eve's hand and ran out the door with the others.

Soon the people in the tavern were almost gone, except for the tavernkeeper who sat on the ground, holding the bottle of the king's own brew that had become a fragment and wept silently.

"Oh my wine! God, how can I live without you. The boss kept crying.

That's when a waiter spotted him.

"Boss, let's go!"

"I'm not leaving, let me die, let me die!"

But the waiter, apparently unable to watch him burned, plunged his hands into his armpits from behind and forcibly dragged him away.

The boss kicked his legs around.

"Let me die, let me go with that bottle of wine!"

........

There was already a mess outside the tavern, with customers running out and buckets entering the tavern to put out the fire.

This is the best opportunity.

Without hesitation, the four of them rushed directly in the direction of the city gate.

Seeing that they were about to reach the city gate, several soldiers stopped them from going.

"Who?" asked the soldier.

Since the large army of Hill City was carrying out secret missions outside the city, Mick knew that the city defense of Hill City was already quite weak, and perhaps only these few soldiers were left, so he nodded to everyone.

"Up!"

With that, Mick rushed to the soldiers first.

However, Mick knew that the soldiers were innocent, so he kept attacking with the back of the knife and the flank of the knife.

"Cutting the Sky"

Mick unleashed the air slash with the back of his knife, slashing at a soldier's abdomen with a single blow.

"Click. ”

There was a crisp sound of bones cracking, presumably the soldier's ribs had been broken by Mick.

Marianne's marksmanship was so accurate that she could shoot the soldiers in the leg with precision, even in the dark, so that they were incapacitated and not killed.

Sumel also opened his bow left and right, and constantly took out darts, shuriken, kunai, poison needles and other things from his waist, which can be said to be a variety of tricks.

Only Foss stood there and watched them with great trust. As if knowing that they would win.

In a moment, all the soldiers were lying on the ground, but none of them feared for their lives.
