Chapter 9: Encounters

Despite the thick blanket, Ades wakes up every morning and feels sore when he sleeps on the floor.

If it was the original Shen Jie, he would naturally not have these troubles, but the memory of this body is that of Ades Nebos.

Glancing at Severia, who was still asleep on the bed, Yades regretted why he had rejected Severia's offer to sleep in a bed in the first place.

What do you think?

Severia opened her eyes in a daze, and found that the man in front of her seemed to have slapped himself in the face for some reason.

Could it be that the pressure is too much?, Severia thought, confused.

Lonely men and widows are in the same room, this dry wood is blazing, if you want to ensure fire safety, can there be no pressure?

Yades and Severia have been lurking in Astan for two weeks, and the originally empty basement has been furnished. Anyone who has been to a furniture town should know that beds and sofas are far more expensive than other furniture. After buying a bed, Severia was running out of money in the basement.

Although the officials did not come to arrest the two of them with great fanfare, after all, it was difficult to find a suitable reason without the attention of the Imperial agents lurking all over the city, but in the past two weeks, except for the purchase of some furniture and daily necessities, the two of them basically stayed in the basement just to be safe. Of course, occasional outings are inevitable, after all, people have three urgencies.

They are waiting, waiting for today, the last day of the end of the month.

The weather is always sunny on this day, and on the afternoon of the last day of the month, a grand victory festival is held in the valley square in the middle of the city. On behalf of the Grand Duke of Astan, the City Watch will recognize those who have made outstanding contributions to the city of Astan during the month. Of course, many times, officials also take this opportunity to announce a lot of important or not-so-important things.

Adex and Severia packed their bags and set off for Riverdale Square, a rush of foot vendors all the way, and it was still some time before noon, but they had to settle their positions as soon as possible, or they would miss the monthly Jinkern delivery.

The closer to summer the day, the faster the temperature rose, and in order not to attract attention, the two did not wear hooded burqas anymore. Yades wore a light short outfit and a pair of plain linen trousers underneath and a round sunhat with a wide brim, and the streets were full of men dressed like this. Severia could only wear a wide long skirt that was obviously one size larger, which made her figure look a little bloated, and her beautiful face could only be wrapped in a headscarf, and then she wore a sunhat as wide as that of Yades, which at first glance looked like a middle-aged woman.

Pulling down the turban that covered her face, Severia leaned into the ear of Ades and whispered, "Are you really going to declare yourself a descendant of Nepos in the Valley Square, the heir of the kingdom left behind by the assassin Emperor Julius?"

"Or are you planning to use your powerful 'Dragon Body' to detonate the Photophobia?"

Hearing this, Sevelia kicked Yades lightly, and then said suspiciously, "Don't you have anything to ask about me being a dragon?"

Question: Thinking back to the starry sky dragon that seemed to shroud the layers of curtains, this girl should have a lot to brag about in front of her, and he naturally wouldn't let her succeed.

Wait, is it appropriate to call her a girl? Will this guy live longer than the entire human civilization?

Severia looked at Ades, who began to mumble silently again, pouted, then raised her hand and pointed, and said with some excitement: "Look, we have arrived." โ€

Once Yades publicly announces his true identity, things will definitely spiral out of control.

It's a little nervous just thinking about it.

And she, as the emperor of the dragon clan, demons, and void creatures of the Ten Thousand Worlds, was like the inexplicable excitement when she first saw this guy next to her, she hadn't experienced this wonderful feeling for a long time.

ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚

Directly opposite the square was a wide avenue large enough for four troikas to gallop side by side, and the avenue was neatly paved with large blocks of dark green stone bricks, which were so tough that they ran through the entire city of Astan's Avenue of Glory, and could not break a single piece in a year. It is made of a unique light-proof stone under the cliff wall of Mount Mohe, and is fired by the noble craftsmen of the private kiln of the Grand Duke of the River Valley. Each piece, although not of great value, is far beyond the consumption capacity of ordinary civilians.

Yades and Severia were sitting by the window in a restaurant, looking across the Avenue of Glory at the high platform in the Valley Square, also made of light-proof stone bricks. On both sides of the high platform stand two tall and majestic statues, more than ten meters high, one is a symbol of the royal family's righteous gods, and the other is a symbol of the Astan family's dawn angels.

The level of consumption near Riverdale Square was really not low, and this lunch completely emptied the pockets of the two of them, and cost them a full six kingdoms of Kingkern, which was basically a week's income for a citizen of Astan.

Even so, the restaurant called Steve's Garden was already full, and if it weren't for the two of them coming early, where would they be in such a good position.

Six Kingkern only got a bottle of the restaurant's homemade fruit wine and four dishes, but luckily the portions were good.

Two steaks from the westernmost plateau of the mainland, a half-meter-long blue sturgeon that swims into the sea from the Alima River every spring and summer solstice, and the restaurant's owner, Chef Steve's specialty, the holy buffalo balls.

The two of them ate there with their eyes lit up, almost forgetting the nervousness of worrying about being discovered in front of the public.

Suddenly, Severia lifted her head and looked not far behind Ades.

Yades glanced at Severia, turned his head, and followed Severia's gaze to look out the window, where there were pedestrians coming and going.

"What are you looking at?" Yades asked curiously, swallowing the beef in his mouth, "In danger?"

Severia shook her head, and said with a hint of confusion on her face: "Don't you feel familiar with the pair of men and women over there?" โ€

"You don't know you have eyes on the top of your head," said Adรจs, looking out the window again, but without searching at all, he spotted the man and woman Severia had spoken of.

It was two guys who were wearing black burqas on a hot day, which attracted the attention of many pedestrians on the street, but even if they couldn't see their faces clearly, the inexplicable familiarity still came to their faces.

Could it be that his senses were also affected by this body? This is the acquaintance of the original Ades?

No, the original Adรจs and the original Severia could not have had common acquaintances.

Yades was about to take a closer look, when the two men disappeared into the flow of people.

Severia pulled her headscarf and asked with a frown, "You feel this way too?"

Seeing that Yades just wanted to turn her head and answer, Severia suddenly maintained the posture of looking out the window, and then lowered her voice and said to herself: "Pay attention to your gaze, eat first." โ€

Then, she noticed something unusual, and several men in the crowd in different outfits suddenly quickened their pace and moved closer in one direction.

"Did those two people have a problem just now?"

Yades slowly turned his head to look out the window, then nodded slightly.

"Shall we keep up?"

"I can't bear this feast. Yades said, glancing thoughtfully out the window again.
