Episode 111 First Stop
"Is that so? Then come back and talk about it......" Nikus glanced at Kongming, and finally just nodded. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Just when Kong Ming was relieved, a barely audible voice made him creepy:
"It's no fun to distrust a bad guy like that, though."
Sure enough, I still can't hide it from him...... But your sister, this is a novel, not a horror game with a hundred ways to die, and it's still so sudden, should it be so scary?!
"Let's go?" There was another extremely faint sneer, and the empty sound of listening to it was irritating.
"First stop...... Merlot, a relatively small border city, but close to the capital of the Empire, is a chaotic and dangerous place where riots and invasions often occur. "Having already obtained the client's intelligence scroll before, Kong Ming opened the long and large record scroll and saw a map with glowing points of light on it, recording the possible location of the person being pursued.
Indeed, if it is a chaotic and dangerous frontier, it is impossible for anyone to care about the identity of an outsider, so it is much safer to stay there than some city-states. It's just that most of the population there are outsiders and scattered people who have no household registration and identity, and there are basically no local residents living normally, which will also cause considerable trouble for the investigation.
……
"Huh...... Why do you have to get up early in the morning and walk around the street, it will only attract attention, and you won't find anyone at all, okay? "In the scattered streets of Merlot, Nikos yawned and complained.
"I said are you annoying? I don't like to get up early and don't want to complete the commission, so I can take it with me! Kong Ming really couldn't stand this guy's nagging for hours in a row, and when he turned around, he scolded him with his head and face.
"Oh good, you keep working, the little one is going to cool off~" The black cloak turned around and walked towards the hotel, ready to go back to sleep.
"Dare you, you've been waiting for this sentence?!" Kong Ming almost couldn't help but give him a kick, but because he couldn't beat him, he still swallowed the words in his stomach, and only kept the most basic complaints.
"Uh-huh~ No way, I'm not a diligent person."
"Don't talk to me in such a disgusting tone!"
"You're the only one who takes the commission to heart anyway, don't you? My original purpose was just to contact you in a normal way, and I didn't have a reason to contribute to the artifact I deserved, after all, I didn't lack that thing. ”
"......" empty Mingming stopped, he was obviously ridiculed for his pediatric IQ and poverty, but this is the reality, and he really can't refute it.
"Okay, if you're still cooperating this time, I'll help you." Suddenly, Nikos said something inexplicable for no reason, and then stretched out his hand in the direction of the empty sound.
Kong Ming was taken aback, and subconsciously made a defensive posture, and then realized that this was useless in the face of the difference in strength, and the other party was obviously not aimed at himself.
"Hey, little guy over there, aren't you going to hand it over?" The reacting Kong Ming turned back at Nikus's voice, and saw a dirty little beggar behind him looking at them with a wary face, but there was no panic at all when ordinary people were caught stealing.
"What are you talking about, suspicious outsider...... What I have in my hand is the meal money I finally got today! Then the little beggar took two steps back, and a voice mixed with some anger came out of his mouth, and he looked very much like a newborn calf who had been wronged and unwilling.
"It's quite sophisticated, you go and look through it to see if you can find your things, and when you meet this kind of person in the future, it's better to have a snack." Nikus rolled his eyes, which others couldn't see, and shouted directly into the air.
Just flip through people's stuff like that? Isn't it too ......
Kong Ming hesitated, but went forward to get the package from the little beggar's hand.
"Go away!" As soon as Kong Ming reached out, he was slapped away by the other party, and then the little beggar sat on the ground and cried loudly, which alarmed many people nearby, but most of them just glanced at it from a distance and avoided it; However, some newcomers gathered around to watch the excitement.
“…… It's good to fix it quickly, there's no need to waste time here. As if annoyed by the noise around him, Nikus's face was a little unsightly, and he came up directly to mention the little beggar, and dragged him away despite the other party's cries and struggles, but the people who watched the excitement couldn't catch up if they wanted to.
……
in a hotel room.
"You're going too far, aren't you? Knock people unconscious and search them or something......" Although the scroll was lost and recovered, Kong Ming's expression was twitching. Who knew that this thing was so rudely carried out a body search, what if the other party was a girl in disguise?
Besides, even he, who stood aside and decided not to look at it, saw something that he shouldn't have seen.
"Who told you to make things so abrasive, and besides, you are obviously people who have witnessed the cruel truth, how can you still have those senseless sympathies. Is this really a novel about seeing injustice and saving a woman? Nicus sat cross-legged on the rough chair and drank tea, and when he heard the words of the empty sound, he said unhappily:
"I'm not here to be a babysitter for you, since you want to be nosy so much, then you can go by yourself tomorrow, don't make yourself the headlines the day after tomorrow."
"Hey, do you have any character? That's it......" The empty voice was speechless, but he couldn't say it anymore in the middle of the sentence, and the dignity of being an ordinary person did not allow him to say so.
"Okay, I'll go by myself tomorrow!" Then, with some hesitation, Kong Ming slapped the table and left.
"What a presumptuous, where will such a person die sooner or later." Nikos glanced slightly in the direction of Kongming's departure, and then drank his tea to himself.
The next day.
"Did you really get into the spotlight?" Realizing that many outsiders on the street were looking at him, Kong Ming knew that he had really messed up yesterday. Now that you are under the attention of so many people, it is difficult to carry out some covert activities, and it is likely that you will be noticed by the mission target in the first place.
Sure enough, although he has experienced the struggle between life and death, he is still lacking in human sophistication, after all, most of the time used to be spent fighting wits and courage with wild monsters, and dealing with humans is a relatively rare thing.
