Chapter 102: Rumors
"It's really worthy of Broken Cloud City, it's so lively even at night. ”
Walking through the bustling streets, Cole walked into a remote and noisy tavern, where he almost choked on the smell of malt beer and various salty and wet smells.
**The men in the upper body shouted loudly and fought loudly, and the maids dressed in seductive clothes walked through it from time to time, and the curves of their bodies looked particularly attractive in the dim light.
Even Cole, who prided himself on his good determination, couldn't help but glance at a certain maid twice, and if it weren't for Katya's cold and pretty face in his mind, he would probably have been able to look at it for a while.
"Hehe, this lord, you have a really good eye, as soon as you come, you have taken a fancy to the top brand of our White Rose Tavern, hehe, for ten silver coins, Miss Helmut will belong to you tonight." "Maybe it was seeing Cole's gaze, and a lewd little man came out of nowhere.
"Sorry, I'm not here...... I have other things. Cole looked around and couldn't find a target, so he threw two silver coins at him.
The little man hurriedly took the silver coin, and the smile on his face became even brighter, "What do you command?"
"I'm looking for ground rats. Cole walked to a corner with him and whispered.
Ground rats are the general name of the dark forces in every city of the Aura Empire, almost in slightly larger cities, every tavern has their eyeliner, if you have something inconvenient to do yourself, whether it is to buy murder, human trafficking or sell stolen goods, you can give them it, provided that you give enough gold.
The little man smiled slightly, did not speak, but just stretched out an index finger.
Cole playfully threw out a gold coin, and the little man with wide eyes hurriedly caught it, he just wanted another silver coin, but he didn't expect the other party to give a gold coin directly, which can be regarded as an unexpected surprise.
"This master, please come with me. The little man almost bent over to the ground.
The little man led him inside, stopped before a curtain of door, pointed to the curtain, and quickly left himself.
Cole guessed that it would be a strong man with a beard inside, and after getting a little ready, he lifted the curtain.
However, the scene inside was very unexpected, and it turned out to be the maid Helmut who he had just looked at a few more times.
She was sitting in a chair with her slender legs crossed on the table, and the first thing Cole saw as soon as he entered the door were these slender and dazzling legs.
Helmut smiled slightly, pretending to be surprised, "Ah, I didn't expect to receive the eleventh guest today, I can't stand it." With that, Helmut reached for his collar and tried to take off the clothes he was wearing very little.
The young lady misunderstood, "If you were an ordinary person,
Maybe he will be wrong, but for Cole, Helmut's sweet voice is not only not tempting, but a little harsh, "I'm here to find a ground mouse." ”
"Oh?" Helmut lowered his legs from the table and gestured to an empty chair across from the table, "Your Excellency, please be seated." ”
"I didn't find the wrong person...... Cole didn't understand why the mouse would go to be the maid who accompanied the wine himself.
"Tell me, what are you looking for us to do? murder or robbery?"
"You seem to be very disdainful of what I want to do, do you think what I want you to do must be bad?"
"Less pretending to be taller, who can come here, which one is good?" Helmo said, picking up a thick cigarette roll and putting it into her delicate red lips.
Cole didn't like to be slandered, but he didn't have the heart to defend it at this point, "I want you to spread one...... Gossip. ”
"Oh? it's a rare thing, it's neither a robbery nor a sale of stolen goods, well, let's hear it, what gossip do you want to spread?" Helmut spat out a puff of smoke in Kohl's face.
"It has something to do with the witch...... Cole saw Helmut's expression, as if he didn't want to get into trouble, "If you don't want to take it, I can go find another house." ”
"Hehehe, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Helmut smiled again.
"It's not a dangerous rumor," Cole coughed, "a powerful force in the Northwest Orr Mountains
The magic group is summoning the witches. ”
After Cole finished speaking, Helmut's expression gradually became solemn, "That's it?"
"Just one sentence. ”
Helmut's expression gradually relaxed, "Hehehe, it seems that you... Or the master behind you, who wants to sell witches, tsk... How ......clever to lure witches to go, and then capture them at one of the passes?"
"You don't have to guess what I'm going to do. ”
"I have to say that your idea is really quite original, and maybe it can really fool many witches, but I have to warn you that witches are not as weak as you think, and if you want to catch a witch, unless you have a large army, you will pay a terrible price, I advise you to dispel this unrealistic idea. ”
Cole felt that this woman was too unethical to say what she was going to do, but she began to persuade herself to give up, "Miss Helmut, you just need to tell me if you can take this business, and you don't have to speculate too much about the rest." ”
"I took it, a hundred gold coins. Helmut poked out the cigarette in a glass vat that looked like it was made in Icefield City.
Cole didn't want to say anything more, he always felt that something was wrong with this woman, but he couldn't say what was wrong, so he took out a box that was just full of a hundred gold coins from his bosom and put it on the table, and walked away without looking back.
Out of this tavern called the White Rose, Cole felt more and more that the woman was not reliable enough, and the gold coins he brought out had not been spent, so he wandered around the lively street for a long time, and estimated that it was far from the White Rose Tavern, and he went into a tavern, and when he entered, he directly told others to find a ground mouse.
This time he was received by a rough strong man, in the face of Cole's request, he did not say much, and offered a price of one hundred and thirty gold coins, although the price here is a little more expensive than the white rose, but he felt that this place is much more reliable than the white rose, so he immediately paid and left.
As he left, the strong man assured him that the ground rat would never cheat money, and advised Cole to stay in Cloud Breaker City for a while so that he would soon hear rumors about the witch.
After leaving the tavern, Cole was about to return to the inn, but he had been worried about the White Rose Tavern, and was about to go back to have a look, but there was a white expanse around him.
"Is this fog?"
Cole had never seen such fog before, walking in the middle of the street, the buildings on both sides could not be seen clearly, the pedestrians were gone, and if it weren't for the fact that there was a torch jumping not far away, he almost thought he had entered the entrance to Hades.
He pressed the knight's sword at his waist and began to run quickly, ready to leave the annoying fog, but as soon as he ran, the fog seemed to turn into a viscous soup that entangled his body, and every step required him to take a great deal of physical strength.
"Witch!"
Cole stumbled and fell to the ground, the dense fog around him seemed to imprison the space, pressing him to the ground, he could only look up slightly, and faintly saw several slender figures walking towards him.
Just as he was about to explain something, a sound of breaking wind came from behind him, and a strong kick was made to his face, so that he could not say anything.
"Feiyun, tap your hand. Another woman's voice came.
"Oh......" Feiyun replied, stepping back slightly.
"Shadow. The woman said another word.
As the fog faded, Cole could see that the ground on which he was lying suddenly turned dark, and he was slowly sinking into the pitch black ground as if he had fallen into quicksand.
He wanted to cry out for help, but his face was already in darkness and he couldn't say a word.
Like Cole, the other two women began to sink into the darkness of the ground, and soon, all three disappeared, and the fog dissipated, leaving the hard-stone floor intact. 2k reading web
