Chapter 69: Nancheng District
"Why does Afalong have a uniform suit? Isn't it better for a mage to keep a low profile?"
Alan asked in his mind as he followed Mia.
"Sometimes, when a magician carries out a commission, in order to keep the official from interfering, he designs a set of clothes as a symbol, so that even if those guards don't see the devil's mouth and see the black clothes, they know that they are magicians. ”
"It saves you a lot of trouble. ”
Alan was talking to Frante when Mia suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Eren looked at the scroll in her hand.
The magic scroll shows that they have arrived at their destination.
Looking up, Alan looked ahead.
People come and go, and the shouts of merchants mingle with the sounds of people talking.
It's a downtown area.
It's lively, and it doesn't look like there's a monster in it.
"In this case, how do you know where the monster will appear?"
Alan asked in a low voice beside Mia.
"Look around and watch for anything unusual. ”
"Where the concentration of magic is abnormal, monsters may not necessarily be born, but we must not take it lightly. ”
"Until the magic calms down, we're going to have to stay here just in case something happens. ”
Mia leaned against the wall next to her, her eyes scanning the downtown area.
"And you let me go to rest last night?"
Alan asked, looking at her hooded side face.
"What do you think I was doing last night?"
Mia turned her head, revealing half of her face.
She stayed here last night?
"Alright, you go around, I'll go for a walk too, and I'll be contacted through the boulder pendant if there's something to do. ”
With that in mind, Mia walked towards the crowd.
It wasn't until her black back disappeared from view that Alan took a step.
Subconsciously open the eyes of the heart, and there is no color everywhere you look.
It's like the world is suddenly being curtained, and everything is black.
Closing his eyes, Alan pulled a man passing by.
It was a middle-aged man, his face full of blankness, but the moment Alan grabbed him, he was startled.
"Who are you?"
Walking on the street and suddenly being pulled by a stranger, no one will be happy.
"Do you know this place?"
Alan inquired about the address given by the old lady who had come out of the palace of the Afalong branch earlier.
"Why should I tell you?
The man grabbed Allen's left hand with both hands, his face full of unhappiness, and he wanted to break free.
But no matter how hard he tried, the hand grabbed his collar without moving.
"Answer my question, and I'll let you go. ”
Allen's brow furrowed.
He was starting to get a little impatient.
"Are you sick in the head? Suddenly grab a person on the street, and force others to answer questions, let me go!"
The man's feet kept kicking on the ground, and even though he used all his strength, the hand didn't move the slightest.
His breathing began to rapidize because of the overexertion.
"I don't want to repeat it a second time. ”
Through the afterglow, Alan saw that the people around him gradually surrounded him after discovering the anomaly between the man and him, pointing and pointing.
His right arm was raised.
The man who was originally angry suddenly looked like chaff when he saw his right arm under Allen's cloak.
"Kill...... Murderer!"
He screamed.
The people in a circle approached.
Hearing the man's shrill scream, and then looking at Allen's black clothes, people seemed to think of something.
"Let him go!"
"Murderous wretch, let him go!"
"Call the guards! Catch this murderer!"
After realizing that the person in front of them was a magician, the people who had been very numb until now seemed to have found an outlet for their emotions.
Foul language kept popping out of their mouths.
Fingers pointed at Allen, their eyes shining fiercely.
I don't know why, when facing these ordinary people, Eren found that they were even more tricky than monsters.
In desperation, Alan put his right arm into the wallet around his waist, took out a silver coin from it, and handed it to the man.
Due to the cover of the cloak, coupled with the cover of the two bodies, almost no one saw this scene.
When he saw the silver coin that shimmered with silver, the man's pupils dilated suddenly.
At this moment, there was a loud cheer from outside the crowd.
"Get out of the way!"
The five guards rudely pushed through the layers of the crowd and walked in.
"What's going on?"
The leading guard lifted the steel visor, revealing a displeased face.
The man clutched the silver coin tightly in his hand and reached into his clothes, and he no longer struggled.
Alan let go of the hand that grabbed his clothes.
Because of the action, his patched shoulder was torn open, revealing the skin inside.
"I was joking around with this adult. ”
The man turned his head and looked at the guards as they approached, a flattering smile on his face.
"Really?"
The guard's gaze quickly skimmed over the man and shifted to Alan's.
Looking at the cloak representing Afaron and the hood that Eren wore on his head, the guard's face changed.
"Are you sure it's a joke?
The guard turned to look at the man and blinked.
"Yes, yes, I'm just a mouthful, screaming and playing. ”
The man nodded and smiled.
"That's it, that's fine, pay attention next time. ”
The guard nodded, unable to help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The remaining four guards began to evacuate the crowd.
The people who were excited before, after seeing the guards, suddenly seemed like deflated balls, and they no longer dared to make loud noises, and they scattered one after another, doing what they should do.
"My lord, I'll take you to that place, it's not far from here. ”
The man turned his head, still with a flattering smile on his face.
I didn't see the look of being willing to die just now.
"Is it there?"
Alan lifted his chin and pointed in the direction of Southtown.
"Yes, right in there. ”
"Let's go. ”
Since it was within the scope of the commission, Alan decided to pay it a visit.
A gold coin can be regarded as 100,000 in the previous life.
People who can give so much money casually are either rich or expensive.
Even if the other party has a bad plan, with his two-star strength, ordinary people must be unable to parry it at all.
During his last two days in Greystone, Eren used to cut his own fingers with a kitchen knife.
There was only a white mark on his finger, and the sharp kitchen knife was sharpened out of the notch.
Even if someone stabbed Allen in the neck, it would only be the knife that would break.
A boy stood by the bridge not far away and witnessed it all.
He kept Allen's thin black figure in his mind, and ran away quickly.
It didn't take long for Alan to follow the man's guidance and come to a house.
