Chapter 796: Witnessing
"Oh? You say, the young couple you came to spy on last time behaved strangely? β
The yellow-haired intelligence dealer sat behind a table and looked at the hotel waiter in front of him, who was pale and smelled of alcohol.
The intelligence dealer knew very well that this man had probably come out of a casino or tavern - he was willing to bet that this guy would not have a copper plate left in his body.
"Yes, yes, they don't look like couples who come for their honeymoon or vacation, wandering around in a carriage all day long, and they don't come back with anything to buy, but they are very generous."
At the end of the sentence, the waiter named Jason couldn't help but show jealousy on his face when he didn't sleep all night.
He had only a few copper plates, not enough for a glass of ale, and the attendants who served them could even get silver coins for a month's work.
And the pair of nouveau riche, when everyone is looking for a place for the next meal, they can casually throw money away, how can the world be so unfair!
The yellow-haired newspaper seller laughed, and he could see the jealousy of the hotel waiter.
He didn't care about the object of the other party's jealousy, he had seen a lot of similar people, and the reports of such people were not completely useless, there were people who reported because of their jealousy of their neighbors, and the priest of the Holy See noticed that some clues matched the characteristics, and found out an old mage who had been incognito in the town for more than twenty years.
The incident caused a sensation near the port of Domindun, and the neighbor who reported it to the church priest out of jealousy also became a hero.
People praised the man in fear, and if he hadn't reported it, I don't know how many ordinary townspeople would have been killed, and who knows if the evil mage secretly used living people to make real things in private, and liked to eat the hearts and livers of childrenβthe reason why they reasoned this way was only because the old mage usually liked to be close to children, and often gave them some candy.
On the contrary, the whistleblower was a well-known scoundrel in the town, who often loitered and extorted the vendors in the market, but after that incident, he had cleared his previous notoriety, received a lot of rewards, and even turned into a decent person who everyone envied after sitting up a small business.
The reason why the intelligence dealer knows so clearly is because he is the cousin of the person involved in this story, and he was able to connect with the priest of the port church of Domindon and start the intelligence business, thanks to the cousin's face.
Taking out a stack of papers from the drawer and flipping through them, the informant asked:
ββ¦β¦ Uh-huh, this is it...... An officer couple with a teenage girl? β
"Yes, yes! That's right! β
What a fool, the last thing to provoke now, except for those clergy in the church, is the military!
What's wrong with suspicious behavior? It was precisely because of his suspicious deeds that he could not be investigated in the last place - God knows if they found out that he was being noticed, maybe he would have moved from his bed to the bottom of the sea in the middle of the night and slept forever!
The intelligence dealer saw what was written on the paper and scolded:
", this kind of broken intelligence is also here to make money! If you want to find death, don't drag Lao Tzu! β
The hotel waiter was kicked out of the door in panic, his face was bruised and swollen by the thugs hired by the intelligence traffickers, and his body was hit several times, and he was in severe pain.
Stumbling out of the civilian area, seeing that no one was chasing after him, the hotel waiter avoided the eyes of the passers-by and turned into a small alley.
"Damn informants! Dog* raised stuff! No vision, a lifetime of poverty...... Hiss! β
Hissing and inhaling, stroking the swollen bag the size of an egg, the hotel waiter panicked again.
"It's miserable, I can't go back to work in June, the steward will definitely fire me, I don't have money, I can't even pay the interest on my gambling debts, what should I do, I don't want to be sunk into the sea...... It's all Sean's fault, how did he have such a good fate, and the couple he served, damn rich people...... By the way, they have money, money - money ......"
Cornered, the hotel waiter muttered to himself nervously, and his face gradually became hideous.
β¦β¦
"Ouch!"
"Athena, it's okay!"
In the market, a boy who suddenly ran out hit Athena while running, Lin An pulled it with mental power in time, of course, from the perspective of others, it seems that the little girl slowed down her movements, and then Lin An held her hand, so she didn't fall.
The child who bumped into Athena was about ten years old, a head shorter than Athena, wearing a linen shirt with some lace, and looking like a middle-class child.
The boy didn't run away after hitting Athena, and stayed where he was, a few feet away, apologizing to Athena and Lin An helplessly and uneasily.
"I'm sorry, Madame and Miss, I'm sorry to offend you......"
"It's okay, it's just an accident."
Lin An knew that the other party was indeed unintentional, and the malicious expulsion technique she performed on her body was enough to automatically drive ordinary people with bad intentions such as the thief Goldfinger away from her side.
"Look at that sign."
"Kid, get out of the way!" Someone upstairs shouted.
At the same time, the boy found himself shrouded in shadows, and looked up suspiciously, and above the podium corridor where he was standing, a heavy wooden sign had crumbled at some point, and slammed down on the boy with the sound of the rope breaking!
"Alan, be careful!"
A mournful female voice sounded in the slightly crowded crowd not far away, but it was too late.
"Father!"
Many soft-hearted women exclaimed, afraid to look at the fate of the boy directly below the signboard.
As if in response to a prayer for a miracle, a bright red ray of heat shot out of the crowd and split the heavy wooden board in half!
The wooden sign broke off and landed half a foot away from the boy, and the dust kicked up to plop the boy caught in the middle into ashes, and his little face turned white.
There was silence and death, except for the place where the scorching rays had been emitted, and a lady in a yellow dress of about thirty years old pounced out, and reached out in horror to hug the boy.
"Alan! Allan! β
The boy subconsciously stepped back, screaming, and tripped over the wooden signboard that nearly killed him.
The lady's hands froze in place, and the veil covering her face could not stop the disbelief on her face.
"What's that?"
"Did you see that?"
"Evil mage!"
In the crowd that responded, such voices began to appear.
"No, no, I'm his mother! I'm his mother! The lady lost her voice.
"No, you're not my sister-in-law, my sister-in-law must have been killed by you! Do you want to harm my nephew again? Wicked woman, shoot you to death! β
Another younger, squealing young woman, ran to the boy, holding him tightly behind her, fearful and hateful, desperately trying to drive away the lady who wanted to come near, and pushed the lady in the yellow dress to lift her gauze wide-brimmed hat, revealing a beautiful face.
ββ¦β¦ Mom, has my mom been eaten by you? β
The boy who was blocked behind his aunt finally detonated the crowd with a sobbing question.
"Heresy!"
"She's going to eat that child!"
"Go to the priest!"
The crowd finally became chaotic, some closing in on the middle, others running out, picking up rocks and weapons at hand and smashing them into the center of the crowd.
"Hit her! Hit her! β
"Run, evil mage will be the heart of a child!"
When the people realized that the target did not fight back, the fear was overpowered by the excitement, and the screams of the lady were drowned out in the middle of the chaotic noise.
"Alan, my Alan......"
Out of the maintenance of her own blood and bones, the lady in the yellow dress began to subconsciously reluctance to use spells, so as not to frighten the child with the bloody blood, and after the crowd approached, it was too late to cast spells to save herself.
In the desperation of despair, a soft female voice suddenly sounded in the ears of the lady in the yellow dress:
"If you don't run, stay here and you'll never see your child!"
At the same time as this voice, a thick black shadow under her feet spread silently to the body of the lady in the yellow dress, and the lady in the yellow dress felt the meaning of this spell, gave up the struggle, and the black shadow enveloped her whole person.
"Ahh
"Shadow! Watch out for the shadows! β
"I ran into it! I'm going to die! β
The lady in the yellow dress disappeared suddenly, and in the panic screams of the people, the two figures, one tall and one short, left the center of the incident silently, and the crowd unconsciously avoided it, but no one noticed the abnormality, as if Lin An and Athena did not exist at all.
Lin An and Athena quietly walked into a dark alley on the side of the road, and happened to see a black shadow squirming under the corner, and the depressed lady in the yellow dress was spit out by the shadow.
She hadn't even entered the realm of the Malicious Eviction Technique.
Lin An frowned, from her previous reaction in the downtown area, she didn't expect much from the strain of this female mage apprentice, but this reaction was not bad, but self-defeating - living in seclusion for more than ten years in a country that regarded mages as heretics, maybe not using spells often, but the vigilance and adaptability should not be low.
But Lin An still lifted the malicious expulsion technique on his body and approached Mrs. Huangskirt, "Don't be afraid, I'm the one who saved you." β
"Thank you!" The trembling continued for a while before the lady in the yellow dress came back to her senses.
"This is not a place to stay for a long time, let's go first!" Looking at the entrance of the alley, many people are running around, the figures are shaking, and no one has noticed this inconspicuous dark alley for the time being, Lin An shouted, "William! β
The lady in the yellow dress did not react, and Athena held her hand, and William, who was hiding in the shadows, appeared, and the huge golden beast pupils glanced at the lady, and the wriggling shadows overwhelmed them again.
Lin An, who was leaving, didn't pay attention, and on the way from the hotel to the market when she and Athena set off, there was always a person who followed from a distance away from the crowd.
At this time, this man was squatting in a courtyard only separated by a wall from the dark alley, and behind him was a brick wall with a thin gap, but this man did not dare to look in the direction of the gap, covering his bruised and purple face, and his teeth were clucking:
ββ¦β¦ IβI see it...... They came out of the crowd just like that, like that...... That, the woman in the yellow dress...... Evil Female and Female Mage...... I see it...... They, they're a gang......"
