8. Elija

The atmosphere in the tavern was tense, and the air seemed to freeze.

Kraft stood at the table, pointing his sword at Crete's nose, glaring angrily, and shouting, "Speak quickly!

Crete still sat comfortably in his chair, his index finger hanging from the necklace making a few circles in the air, wrapping the necklace around his fingers, and then loosening it above the wine table, and the necklace fell on the table with a "whoosh".

There was a sound of hurried footsteps at the door, and the short man leading the way for Kraft and another man in the same attire ran in. The short man glanced at Kraft, then at Crete, and said in a panic: "Your Royal Highness, are you alright?"

"Hmph, it's okay," Crete tilted his head to look at the man, dragging a long voice, "Even if there is something, you come at this speed, and the daylilies are cold." ”

When the short man heard this, his face turned blue with fright: "His subordinates are derelict in their duties! His Royal Highness the Prince forgives his sins!"

"Okay, everything is normal here, don't rub around here, go out and keep watch. Crete said impatiently.

"Yes......" The man glanced at the angry Kraft and retreated.

"Prince...... Is this a prince?" Kraft secretly exclaimed. If you use force with the prince, regardless of the outcome, the consequences will be unimaginable. But Lena is in the hands of the other party again, and Kraft is now in a dilemma.

Crete spread his hands and said lazily: "I don't think your current actions are appropriate." Then he stood up, "I can assure you that Lena is safe and well-lived, at least ...... Much better than you. ”

"Where the hell is Lena now?" said Kraft, angry and anxious, gritting his teeth and gurgling, but there was nothing he could do with Crete. However, at least Lena's whereabouts are now traceable.

Crete walked towards the door of the tavern and said, "Don't worry, when you catch Lino, you will naturally be able to see Lena." By the way, you haven't taunted yourself yet. ”

He faced the door, turned his back to Kraft and threw a bag of gold coins backwards. Kraft raised his hand to catch it, and the money bag was not light.

"I'll give you a month to get Lino for me. Crete's voice continued, "Besides, this tavern will be your temporary residence, and I will send Rohan here to guard it during this time, and no one will disturb you." There is something to contact me through Dean. ”

"You ......" Kraft was still gritting his teeth, and the green tendons on his neck were bulging.

"I've said everything I need to say, and I'm sure you'll make the right choice. Crete glanced back at Kraft, still with that disgusting haughty smile on his face, and then turned to leave the tavern.

"Remember your promise!" Kraft yelled at Crete's back. Crete ignored it and left.

"Bastard!" Kraft slammed his fist into the wall, and the entire tavern seemed to tremble.

He saw that there was still a necklace left by Crete on the table, so he went over to pick it up and examined it, it was indeed the necklace that Lena used to wear.

At this moment, the short man walked in tremblingly, his face full of reluctance, and said, "My name is Rohan, and I will be in charge of guarding this tavern, and I will also be responsible for delivering messages to the prince." ”

"Is that a prince?" said Kraft, with anger still on his face.

"Ho, you kid. That's the second prince of the Nite Kingdom, the famous 'Purple Meteor' Crete, with extraordinary swordsmanship, and I have really never seen a fool dare to point a sword at him except you. Luo Han boasted about Crete like a cannon, "Count your fate, today is His Royal Highness the Prince is in a good mood, otherwise you would have been in a different place a long time ago." ”

"Hmph. Kraft didn't bother to bother with Crete's bluff nickname, he was so confident in his swordsmanship that he was far more talented than his peers from an early age, and only Hidan could compete with him. He was convinced that Crete would never be his opponent if he had done it. He didn't do it today because of the title of prince of Crete, and Lena was probably in his hands, so Kraft didn't dare to act rashly.

Kraft sent Rohan away, walked to the window, and took a deep breath of fresh air.

Although he didn't trust Crete, since the matter had come to this, he had to go to Lino first. After all, without Crete, he wouldn't even be able to get out of his cell.

After thinking about it, Kraft packed his luggage. He took the drawings and money bags that Crete had given him, and fastened his saber around his waist. Finally, he placed Lena's silver necklace around his neck, kissed the cross pendant on it, hoping to be protected by Lena, and strode out of the tavern.

After walking out of the door, Kraft saw Rohan standing straight in front of the door, staring straight ahead, not moving. He surveyed his surroundings and remembered the location of his temporary residence.

He decided to investigate the nearest stronghold shown in the drawings, which was labeled as a market.

Kraft had just taken a few steps when a figure suddenly appeared next to him and stopped in front of him.

Kraft looked at it, this is a girl with a delicate face, long and thick blue hair, and a long blue dress, which is very good-looking.

"Are you ......?"

"Brother, don't you remember me? You gave me bread in the morning. The girl had a warm smile, and her big watery eyes were bent into a crescent shape.

"Is that you?" said Kraft. He hadn't matched the beautiful girl in front of him with the girl who was crying just now.

"It's a glove I sewed myself," the girl said, pulling out a sheepskin glove from her pocket, "and I haven't had a chance to wear it, so I'll give it to you as a gift in return." ”

"No, your gift is much more valuable than mine. Kraft waved his hand and refused.

"Just take it, I don't want to eat white food. The girl forced the glove into Kraft's hand.

"Okay...... Kraft didn't want to go back and forth with the girl, so he clutched the gloves in his hand and questioned, "You've been following me?"

The meeting with Crete had caused Kraft to be irritated, and now he was suspicious of the people around him.

Seeing Kraft's suspicious eyes, the girl looked aggrieved and said, "I just want to come and say thank you......"

Kraft hesitated. He looked at the girl's expression and felt that she might really want to express his gratitude, so he adjusted his tone and said, "Thank you for the return gift." By the way, I don't know your name yet?"

"My name is Elia. The girl's expression stretched slightly, and she replied.

"What a nice name. Kraft politely complimented.

Kraft didn't want to lose time.

His heart was restless. Crete threatens Lena to find Lino. Crete's identity made him powerless to resist, and now he just wanted to find Lino right away and meet Lena.

"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry. Let's leave it at that, thank you again for your gloves. Kraft thanked him again and dodged away.

"Wait a minute," Illya called to him, "can you please do me another favor?"

"What did you say?" Kraft had his impatience written on his face.

"My crystal ball is broken...... Illya's eyes drooped, biting her lip, looking very pitiful, "but I don't have the money to fix it, can you fund me?"

Kraft was stunned by Elia's words, he couldn't believe that there was such a thick-skinned person in the world, and he began to regret giving her bread in the morning.

Kraft glared at Illya fiercely and repeated coldly, "Let's leave it at that." With that, he turned around and left.

"I won't let you help for nothing!" Seeing that Kraft was angry, Illya panicked a little, with a cry in her voice, and pleaded: "I will divination, and in return, I can help you with divination......! It's been a long time since I've met someone kind......"

Kraft turned around and saw that Elija's face was red with anxiety, and her eyes were shining with tears. Seeing Illya's appearance, Kraft relented again.

He looked at the sky and let out a sigh of relief, then lowered his head and asked, "You said you could do divination?"

"Yes!" Illya nodded, "My father was a famous wizard who taught me a lot of spells. I'm still very good at divination, and I can help you understand the past and predict the future!"

Seeing Illya boasting about her divination skills to herself expectantly, Kraft thought it was a little amused, and said, "Know the past, know the future...... Is it really that amazing?"

Kraft had heard of the existence of divination, but he felt that Elia's description was an exaggeration, and he did not believe that it was so powerful. In fact, coming from a warrior gathering place like the village of Peso, Kraft has never been very interested in spells. He believed that so-called spells were just sensational insect carving tricks that had no practical use, even though he hadn't seen many spells with his own eyes.

But Illya seemed proud of her spell and continued, "If you give me an item, I can use my mind to travel through time and see what has happened on it. ”

"Really?" Kraft's eyes lit up when he heard this. He untied Lena's necklace from his neck, handed it to Eliya, and said, "Then you can help me divination, what happened on this chain?"

Illya took the necklace and said, "No problem, can my brother promise to help me repair the crystal ball?" The crystal ball was left to me by my father, and it is something very important to me. ”

Illya's earnest pleading demeanor impressed Kraft. "I promise. ”

"Okay," Illya smiled, "by the way, what's your name, brother?"

Kraft remembered that he had asked her name, but had not said his name.

"My name is Kraft. ”

Illya nodded happily and said, "Brother Kaf, if I want to divination, I need a quieter environment. I know there is a street ahead where there are very few people, so it's more suitable for divination, shall we go over?"

"Just need to be quiet?"

"Yes, if it's too noisy, I may not be able to concentrate, and my divination may fail. ”

"Then go to my house. "Kraft was eager to see her results and didn't want to waste time going far.

"Is that convenient?" asked Elija timidly.

"Convenient, rest assured. ”

When Kraft walked into Ankh's tavern with Elia, he heard Lohan muttering to the door, "Hmph, bring a pretty girl back so soon." ”

Elia walked into the tavern, amazed by the size of the space and the delicate dΓ©cor, and walked cautiously.

Kraft pulled out a chair, made a gesture of please, and said, "Don't be restrained, sit down." "Although Kraft has only just moved in, he looks like a host.

Elija sat down quietly in her chair and whispered, "Then I'll start, Brother Kraft, please don't interrupt me halfway." ”

Kraft nodded.

I saw Illya slowly close her eyes, raise her hands, and make a gesture of holding the ball. Then she stood still, and seemed to have begun to travel through time and space, entering into divination.

Kraft saw Illya start casting spells, and in order not to disturb her, he gently walked up the steps to the second floor.

This was actually the first time Kraft had gone up to the second floor. After a shocking conversation with Crete at noon, Kraft had not had time to observe his new residence, and now he finally had some time.

Different from the first floor, the second floor lacks densely placed wine tables and bar counters, and only a few sofa seats with coffee tables, making the overall space more spacious.

Kraft walked around the second floor and continued to the third floor.

The sight on the third floor surprised Kraft. The entire third floor has been converted into a bedroom, and the dΓ©cor and furnishings are so luxurious that Kraft can only imagine in his dreams.

The entire floor and walls are made of fine wood, which is well maintained and shiny, and the air can smell the unique fragrance of high-quality wood. A large bed sits in the center, and the bed frame appears to be carved out of jade. There are many beautiful paintings on the walls, and even a layman like Kraft can tell that they are all excellent works.

"Although this Crete is annoying, it is really not stingy in terms of equipment. Kraft couldn't help but sigh, but on second thought, he was a prince, and such a configuration was a matter of course.

At this time, Illya's crisp voice came from downstairs: "Brother Kraft, I'm done!"

"Okay, I'll go down now. Kraft responded.
