Chapter 9 The Missing Crew
When the last sun set and the night came as promised, Etis walked down the streets of Nanhai Town, still silently thinking about the question in his mind just now.
Before he knew it, he had followed the direction pointed by the guards to the door of the hotel.
Although the streets were not as lively as during the day, this did not include the inn, which had already lit magic equipment for lighting and a fireplace for heating, and the halls were filled with various figures, most of them were travelers and mercenaries, but there were also a few merchants.
I saw them and their acquaintances drinking ale together, singing unknown tunes, and the noise was so lively that even at the door of the hotel, Etis could feel the vitality inside.
Etis didn't hesitate anymore, pushed open the hidden door, and walked in, when Etis entered the hotel, the hall was strangely quiet, and then a loud discussion broke out......
"Look, guys, it's really strange, it's an elf?" a bearded mercenary pointed at Etis with some surprise.
"It's been a long time since I've seen elves, though I've heard that only the palace and the army have elves...... They're beautiful!"
......
The sound of various discussions made Etis subconsciously frown.
"Look! Fanny is over, it looks like this kid has company tonight, it's the first time I've seen Fanny take the initiative, and the guys who usually do things to her have been thrown out by her......"
As soon as the words ended, a female mercenary walked towards Etis with a wine glass, this female mercenary had a wheat-colored complexion, a bumpy figure, muscles clinging to her, and a scar on the left side of her face, which not only did not affect her beauty, but added a different kind of charm, looking like a female leopard full of wildness.
"Handsome boy, do you have free for the evening? How about we have a drink alone?" the fanny walked up to Etis and raised an eyebrow, full of temptation.
Etis's eyes lit up, but then he thought of something, sighed regretfully, and shook his head:
"I'm sorry, ma'am, I don't make an appointment. ”
"What······ About?"
Hearing Ettis's strange words, although the mercenary was a little puzzled, she probably understood what Etis meant, and she didn't say anything more, just giggled, and then quickly molded Ettis's face, and returned to her seat with unfinished satisfaction.
"Hahaha..."
Etis was a little speechless, and it was the first time in his life that he was molested by a woman, which made him a little embarrassed.
"Hello sir, do you want a room?" the innkeeper walked over at this time to relieve his embarrassment a little.
Etis hurriedly replied: "Yes, I need two rooms and a rich dinner, one of which is for ladies, please arrange a quieter room." ”
"Two gold coins. ”
After Etis took out his wallet, looking at the material of the wallet, the innkeeper's eyes flashed.
"It seems like he's still a big man, but you'd better keep a low profile, or I'll be held accountable if something happens. ”
The boss said quickly in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"So it's good-looking, blame me......"
Seeing that Etis nodded slightly, the boss seemed to be relieved, took out the key to the room from the drawer of the counter and handed it to him, and Etis took the key and went upstairs amid the discussion with him.
Nanhai Town Port.
The Proudmoor family's fleet had been waiting here for two days as agreed, and just when they couldn't hold their breath and were about to look for His Highness, Gianna finally found her family's fleet at this time, and got the long-awaited specialty from the old butler who gave the eldest lady something.
"Great, this is the taste of Kurtilas! It's the taste of home!" Gianna said happily as she counted the goods.
"Your Highness, don't worry, Lord Catherine has prepared a lot of things for you this time, and we will also help Your Highness deliver all the things to Dalaran before leaving. Lawrence looked at Gianna kindly.
Lawrence, the old butler, has been a butler in the Proudmoor family since he retired from the Coult Tiras Navy many years ago.
I heard that when he was in the army, he was a trusted adjutant of Daillin Proudmoor, but later he was wounded and he was too old to fight fiercely, so he retired.
With nowhere else to go, he was taken in by Dalin, and Gianna was like his granddaughter in Lawrence's heart.
"That's great! I'll be sure to entertain Grandpa Lawrence!"
"Hahaha, Your Highness grows up!" Gianna said when she heard Lawrence's kind laughter.
At this time, there were abnormal ripples on the water not far from the two of them, and through the moonlight, it seemed that a strange figure was struggling under the water. But soon there was no movement.
Gianna seemed to sense something strange and glanced at the water, but when she saw nothing, she didn't pay any more attention.
After shushing the cold and asking for warmth, Gianna repeatedly invited the old housekeeper to go to the hotel with her, otherwise she would have to stay with the housekeeper grandfather.
The old butler persuaded in a harmonious voice: "Your Highness, the fleet is full of men and goods, and I don't worry about these little cubs, I have to watch them myself." ”
After inviting again to no avail, Gianna could only say helplessly: "Okay, Grandpa Lawrence, then I'll go back first, I'll come to you tomorrow morning, let's set off together, I'll tell you that I caught a strange 'cargo'." ”
"Strange 'cargo'?" Lawrence asked, confused.
Gianna then tells Lawrence how she 'caught Attis'.
In the face of Gianna's show-off, Lawrence didn't say a word and always looked at Gianna with a smile......
Looking at Gianna who was gradually moving away, Lawrence restrained his smile, squinted his eyes and was about to call the adjutant over to give orders, when he saw the adjutant rushing over in a hurry, looking very anxious.
Lawrence sank his face when he saw this: "What's the matter?"
"Sir, the soldiers of the third squad have gone to the town to have fun after changing the guard, and they are supposed to have returned, and I have already sent someone to find them.
But······ The man who came back said that he had learned from the guards that the third squad had actually left the city and returned...... "The adjutant was a little nervous.
Well-trained fighters don't be as undisciplined as stragglers, so something must have happened.
When Lawrence heard this, he said angrily: "All martial law, leave the necessary personnel, bring weapons, and everyone else will go to find them!"
"Yes, sir. ”
Originally, Lawrence wanted the adjutant to send someone to the Lordaeron Palace first, and use the power of his allies to investigate the suspicious elf in Gianna's mouth, but at present, ......
"Damn, don't let me know who's causing trouble, huh! Dare to provoke Kurtiras, whoever it is, I'm going to let them know the wrath of the Kurtilas!"
......
After Gianna returned to the hotel, she found Etis who was perceiving magic in the room, and when she saw the active magic elements around Etis, Gianna was a little surprised and said in her heart: "I didn't expect this crappy mage's 'elemental affinity' to be so high....."
Edith, who was disturbed by Gianna, was not annoyed, and said gently: "Your Highness, your room is opposite. ”
"You're still trustworthy, you didn't run away, otherwise you'......"
Without answering Gianna's words, Etis said again: "Your Highness, did you find anything strange on the way back?"
"Strange place?"
"I feel like there's a breath of shadow magic coming from across the sea."
"What!!" Gianna hurriedly sensed.
Etis has the essence of Azeroth in his body, and he has unique advantages in this land where star souls exist, such as the unparalleled 'elemental affinity'.
'Elemental affinity' is how closely the caster is connected to the elements of this world.
Everyone is different, and it's clear that the stronger the elemental affinity, the higher the talent.
Ettis, who was studying how to regain his strength in his spare time, sensed the abnormality of the elements in the air, combined with his conjecture when entering the city, he had a bad premonition......
"Boom!"
At this moment, a terrible voice was heard, followed by a shout: "There has been an explosion in the harbor, there is a fire over there!"
The streets were noisy, full of people talking.
"It can't be a pirate, is it?" said a voice of panic.
"Everyone, go back, don't run around, take care of your children, pay attention to safety!"
A calm voice rang out, and people looked at it one after another.
"Great! It's the sheriff!"
"I heard that Lord Sheriff used to be a knight in the Silver Hand, so we will be safe!"
