Chapter 67: Hundred Step Bells

Charlie drove the carriage from Crescent Manor all the way south. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Rhodes secretly followed behind the carriage, his move was not a whim, everything had to start last night. Finally, Rhodes, who returned to his room to rest, keenly felt that there was someone in the room the moment he pushed open the door, and his quick alertness also made him sober up a lot.

However, this is a false alarm, because it is Xuanyu who is waiting for him on the chair in the room. Although there was no light in the room, Xuanyu could still clearly see that Rod drew the short knife from his waist with quick movements, so he blew on the candle on the table, and as the candle was quickly lit, the room lit up.

Rod also breathed a sigh of relief, put the double knife on the table, and sat down on the bed: "What does it have to come in the middle of the night?"

Xuanyu smiled and said, "Tell your fortune?"

Rod looked tired, and when he heard Xuanyu's words, he couldn't cry or laugh: "I know you are very accurate, but now is not the time for fortune telling, and it is not too late to come back tomorrow." ”

"I think now is the right time. Xuanyu smiled, "If you wait until tomorrow, I'm afraid it will be too late." ”

"Oh?" Somewhat whetted by Xuanyu's words, Rhodes leaned forward slightly and said, "What do you mean by that?"

Xuanyu didn't answer his question directly: "Do you want to do the math?"

Rod stared at Xuanyu's eyes for a long time and didn't see a flaw in his eyes, and finally had to compromise: "Okay, let you count." As he spoke, he held out a hand.

Xuanyu gently moved his hand away: "I don't look at palmistry today, just by looking at your face, I know that you are about to come to a catastrophe!"

Seeing that Xuanyu was talking about things, Rod couldn't help but have concerns: "Can you make it clearer?"

"As I said, it's not interesting to put it bluntly. Besides......" Xuanyu deliberately paused, until he saw the other party's eager eyes, and then continued in a leisurely tone that had nothing to do with himself, "Besides, this is your fate, no matter what, you can only accept it, but this time, I see it hanging." Well, it's hanging ......"

Xuanyu's words made Rod more and more nervous, ordinary charlatans or magic sticks would not make him feel half good, but the Oriental man in front of him was an exception, in the Grand Theater, he saw his ability with his own eyes. In addition, during the day today, it was precisely because of Xuanyu's guidance that I met Charlie. Now, Xuanyu said these disturbing words again, which gave Rod a great headache.

Frowning tightly, Rod's eyes secretly glanced at Xuanyu, and the other party looked meaningful. With a roll of his eyes, Rhodes said, "You once said that you can change the future, that is, even if I encounter something bad, I can change it." ”

Xuanyu nodded slowly: "Theoretically, this is the case, but this requires your cooperation." ”

"How to cooperate?"

"Be sure to do what I say. Xuanyu hooked her index finger, and Rhodes leaned over and pressed his ear to Xuanyu's lips.

Xuanyu said softly: "If my expectations are right, Charlie will leave Crescent Moon Manor tomorrow, and then you don't stop him and let him go." But you have to follow him!"

"Why?" said Rhodes.

Xuanyu shook her head and pretended to be mysterious: "You may be able to encounter something interesting with him." As he spoke, he took out two knots out of nowhere, each with a small bell tied to it, "I lend you the 'Hundred Step Bell' and tie it to your legs, no matter how fast the other party is, as long as the bell rings, you can take a hundred steps in one step, and you will never be discovered." ”

In Xuanyu's smiling expression, Rod took the "Hundred Step Bell" in his hand. Sure enough, the next day, as Xuanyu expected, Charlie was leaving Crescent Manor, and as planned, Rod tied the "Hundred Step Bell" to his legs, and suddenly the soles of his feet became windy, and he followed behind the galloping carriage effortlessly.

The carriage bumped all the way, and before noon it came to King's Street, near the Grand Theatre. The road was bustling, and Rod, who was not suitable for showing his face, dressed up in disguise with props prepared in advance, looking like an ordinary person. However, the carriage did not stop on the road as he had hoped, let alone look for the drugstore, and he sped all the way south.

Charlie's whereabouts suddenly made Rod wonder, if he was lying about the pharmacy owner, then what did he want to hide?

Although there were all kinds of speculation along the way, Rod did not stop his steps, and the crisp sound of the bell was always in his ears, but this sound was only heard by Rode. Charlie, who was in the carriage, had no idea that Rhodes was following him, and he hurried until late in the evening when he finally arrived at his destination.

This is the Kakabu Market in Rodymoth, a farming district on the southwest tip of Grimm, and although it's late afternoon, it's still as lively as ever. Although the Kakabu market is mainly a trading place for farmers and traders, in addition to these, some people's daily necessities are also readily available, and many farmers come here with their wives and small grain trucks, and after selling the money, they will also lead the whole family to the market in a chic manner. Therefore, in Charlie's ears, the sound of farmers and traders bargaining, the cries of shops, and of course the short conversations between the parents of the common people.

Kakabu Bazaar is no stranger to Rhodes either, in addition to the daily trade of crops, it also conducts black market trading of intelligence and magic items in private. The "magic barrier" that was previously used to deal with Lucia at the Golden Monkey Tavern was purchased here.

Charlie is here, of course, not for a few bags of grain. So why did he come all the way here? Intelligence or props? But these things are worth a lot of money, how could Charlie have the money to buy them, and even if he bought them for what purpose, why did he sneak around like this? A series of questions made Rhodes feel heavy, and he had to follow Charlie closely.

As soon as he entered the market gate, Charlie jumped out of the carriage, deliberately avoiding the crowd, and walked straight to a secluded corner of the Kakab market. There was only one shop in that row, and from the faΓ§ade it looked small and dilapidated, with cobwebs hanging everywhere, and a dirty sign that read "Wish Shop" but a sign that said it was closed.

All this was seen by Rhodes, who knew that this "wish shop" was one of the best in the black market business circle, and the quality of the goods was super good, and it was absolutely safe. However, the price is also ridiculously expensive!

Rod hid his body behind the clutter piled up in the back door of the front store, and since it was late in the evening, the sky began to darken, so naturally not many people paid attention to him, which was exactly what he wanted, to hide in this corner and spy on Charlie's every move.

Charlie walked straight to the front of the shop and knocked on the wooden door, three times left and three times right. After waiting for a while, a small window opened on the wooden door, and a woman's voice came from inside.

"Sir, it's not our business hours. ”

Charlie hurriedly said: "One hundred thousand urgent, please." ”

After a while, the man inside said, "Okay, please say your wishes." ”

Charlie stopped talking, he suddenly looked around, and then lowered his voice several times. Rod pricked up his ears and didn't hear what he wanted, only heard the voice of the shopwoman: "Your wish is too difficult to come true......" Rhodes knew that it was someone from the store who was raising the price, but he could let her say such a thing, which proved that what he wanted was indeed very unusual, what did he want?
