Chapter 120: Helplessness
The late autumn wind did not stop its dry sweep for a moment, the inky blue sky in the distance gradually ushered in the dawn, the morning light slowly caressed the cold earth, and the old alleys quickly woke up from the silence, like a distant dog barking, opening the curtain of the day.
"Do you need me to say good morning, Detective Holdais?" Lopez, who lowered his head as usual to arrange the long sword at his waist, looked up and saw Holdez, whose eyes were slightly open.
"No, I think I need some warmth, oh shit, I should have chosen your bed last night, the windows were so miserable. With no incessant complaints, Holdèce slowly got up from the bed: "I hate the damn autumn and the winter when I have to go out, and my legs are more resistant than I am. ”
That's a good thing, at least for the most part, it's quite useful. López raised his hand to tidy up his messy hair, but unfortunately, his stubborn hair didn't seem ready to obey, but became more and more free.
"I hope I don't have the same thoughts as you, oh God, take care of me stupid groundhog. He gently shoved the pipe into his mouth, but the tobacco leaves that had already been in a hurry made him unhappy.
Quietly looking at the wooden door in front of him, Lopez's heart set off an inexplicable smile: "I won't admit that you are a metaphor for the image, maybe the robin on your branch thinks so too." ”
"Probably yes, that's going to be it. With that, Haldes raised his legs and slowly walked to the wooden door: "Maybe the hard-working groundhog is more suitable for me." ”
The autumn wind with its yellow leaves did not seem to stop in the slightest, still caressing the bodies of passers-by, but its self-righteous behavior did not make anyone happy about it, but made them quicken their pace more and more, eager to leave this place, so as to leave the dry autumn wind far behind.
"It seems that we didn't run in vain today, do we need to thank God?" At the same time of asking, López quickly turned his back, for no other reason, and a violent wind and dust were coming towards them not far away.
"Ahem. Haldais covered his mouth and nose and coughed loudly: "You should have reminded me, as for the merciful God, I have already thanked him this morning." ”
"Hello, is anyone there?" López asked loudly seeing that there was no one in the store.
"Oh, of course, what do you need?" As the voice in front of him came, a stout man slowly stood up from behind the tall cabinet: "Occasionally this place needs to be sorted out, I hope there will not be too many invalid crystals, I sincerely pray." ”
"It's a bit messy, but there's no denying that it's a cozy shop. While talking, López walked slowly to the counter: "I don't know what kind of magic crystals you have here?"
"Ugh. While subconsciously responding, the boss raised his hand and took out five crystals from the counter: "Flame crystal, small area teleportation crystal, the distance is about twenty meters, wind blade crystal, ice blade crystal, and, recovery crystal, what do you need, guest?"
"Oh, how much gold does this fire magic need?" exhaled, and Lopez raised his hand and gently picked up the crimson crystal on the table.
"This, eight hundred gold coins. Rubbing his forehead, the boss raised his head again and took out a large red crystal from the cabinet above: "This is the highest grade, 1,600 gold coins." ”
"Oh, shit. López turned around and scolded quietly, before turning back again: "How can it be so expensive?"
"This kind of thing, looking at the entire continent, is a scarce resource, basically only supplied to eunuchs and nobles, and you can only find me in the entire Altes. With that, the boss gave López a quick look when he didn't have money to buy it.
"Hello, we're the knights of Azeritto, could you please take the time to answer a few questions from us. At this time, Holdez, who had been dull for a long time, slowly walked up with the knight's pendant.
"Azerito's knight?" asked suspiciously, and the boss laughed out loud, "You really should have done your homework before pretending to be a knight, and Ezrito's knight won't even know me, Alexei Obumozha?"
Then, Alexei patted his hands that were covered with dust just now: "Okay, if you don't have money, let's go quickly, I'm too lazy to see you in general." ”
"Damn, don't make a fuss early in the morning, Alexey, what did you do for me again. With an angry voice, an old man with gray hair slowly walked out from behind.
"What does this have to do with me, it's someone looking for trouble, don't you see, father?" Alexei rubbed his chin helplessly.
But the old man froze in place, and after a long time, he spoke again: "Long time no see, old fellow." ”
"I didn't expect it to be you, my dear old friend. Smiling, Haldes quickly stepped forward and gave him a hug.
"Louis Obumozhoff, the admirable First Priest of the Kingdom. Immediately afterwards, Holdés turned around and introduced López to Luis: "My assistant, a fairly reliable young man. ”
"It's been a long time since we've seen each other, old friend, why, you're not as busy as you used to be. With a pleasantry, Haldez patted Louis on the shoulder.
However, this made Louis feel helpless: "I was injured, so I can only retire early, and now I am living by refining magic." ”
"I'm sorry. Hearing Louis's answer, Holdés also showed a gloom.
"It's not something to be sad about, and it's time for me to retire leisurely. Smiling disapprerovingly, Louis raised a touch of curiosity: "Ah, it seems that our great detective is still swaying in his busy work." ”
"I think you've already heard about the case on the outskirts of Azeritto. Sucking hard, Haldais slowly put away the knight's pendant.
"I guess so, but now it's unbelievable that we were studying in a church. A touch of melancholy crept up Louis's face, and it seemed that old people would always miss their youth.
"That is my pleasure, my dear Louis. As he spoke, Holdess gently took the pipe from his mouth, because the tobacco leaves inside had burned out: "Mind if I ask a few questions?"
