Act108 Streets under martial law
"I'm Eve."
The gray-haired Eve whispered.
It was only then that Vera paid attention to the quiet girl, and when she saw the iconic gray hair, she thought for a moment and suddenly grabbed her arm, "Are you Mr. Iggy's daughter?" ”
Eve nodded.
"We have been commissioned by Mr. Merchant, and we are going to send her back."
Oliver said on the sidelines, talking more often than ever since he met this Miss Vera.
Everyone has already noticed it, and these things are reflected in the smile that can't be hidden on the face.
"Are you going to go?"
"According to the original plan, it was."
Gross, the leader of the bandits, replied.
"However, I estimate that the cavalry of the city guard may not have gone far, you wait a minute, I'll go out and have a look."
With that, Vera hurried away again.
An entire stretch of street near the "Eye of the Black Dragon" was under martial law, and the City Guard security cavalry in gray stand-up collar woolen uniforms stood in the intersections and interspersed alleyways, staring at every moving object with blazing eyes.
Even the black rat next to the garbage heap in the corner was completely frightened by their formation-
The small, glittering eyes of the beans blinked, warily watching their surroundings, and then their long, thin whiskers shook as the rat bit down on a finger-sized sausage covered in gray mold dots and ran towards the burrow in the crevice of the stone bricks.
The streets and alleys were deserted, and there was not a single figure.
Two "gray uniforms" were staring at the rat in distraction.
"Hey, this little guy is really fast."
One of them said to his companion. With such cold weather and such a serious atmosphere, it would be boring if you didn't find something to talk about.
"Rats, I hate rats the most."
"Why, do these little ones have a grudge against you?"
"No, just because Fanny hates rats, and she's always complaining that rats are always stealing their food."
"Fanny? You mean the girl you just met the other day? I'll tell you secretly, her daddy, Uncle Wren, is very fierce. ”
Similar exchanges of ears rang out from time to time between the "gray uniforms", and a young girl's ran out of the grocery store in the alley
figure, she looked around, and soon caught a glimpse of the two "gray uniforms" standing not far from her.
"Gentlemen of the City Guard, it's really hard to come out on a mission in such bad weather."
The girl smiled and leaned over to say hello.
"Who said no, but this is an order from the superiors, and we can't help it."
The little girl with the double ponytail and braids stood in front of them, and suddenly stretched out her palm—he looked at it, and it turned out that the little girl's palm was a few pieces of brown hard bee candy.
"Is this for us?"
The other person said, looking at the girl with big black eyes, he didn't think of anything else, but he was suddenly a little moved in his heart.
The girl nodded.
"The smell of bee candy can make you feel good."
"Yes, it does, if only I could have a few more glasses of hot ale."
"Kerry, Captain Leslie has emphasized more than once that alcohol is strictly prohibited during working hours."
"Well, I'm just fantasizing, but then again, I'm really grateful to this young lady for the bee candy, right?"
He took the hard bee candy, quickly dropped a piece and put it in his mouth, and tasted it deliciously, "It tastes great, don't you want to taste it?" ”
"Sir, are you arresting criminals?"
The little girl with two ponytails in front of her continued to ask. Because of a few pieces of hard bee candy, the two "gray uniforms" were pleasant, and while the tongue in their mouths felt the sweet taste, they muttered and said indistinctly:
"That's what the mission says, but in reality, it's just a normal skirmish."
"Skirmish?"
"The Eye of the Black Dragon was smashed by a mercenary, and Master Sidney happened to be there. I heard that the guy also rammed Master Sidney......"
"Sort of an unlucky bastard."
"Ahh The little girl asked curiously.
"He seems to have robbed a young lady that Master Sidney liked very much."
"Hey, Miss in the Eye of the Black Dragon...... Larry, are you sure this isn't a jealous affair for the sake of the warbler? ”
The two seemed to have a habit of bickering, and in front of Vera, a mountain girl, they didn't care about their image, and they began to quarrel again.
"Master Sidney's troubles are really a lot......"
"Shhhh Instructions from Captain Leslie are orders. We have to stay here. ”
"And then this cold wind blew all day, like two fools?"
"You're mistaken, there's only one fool."
……
"I'm going back, gentlemen."
For a short moment, Vera, who had received information from the words she had spoken to the "gray uniform", narrowed her eyes under her long eyelashes, and she said softly.
"Goodbye, little girl."
The two "gray uniforms" stopped the ongoing quarrel.
"Goodbye."
……
"The situation is not very good, and the streets in the vicinity will be under martial law all day today. The city guards have been guarding the intersection. ”
Vera, who returned to the grocery store, said hello to her sister Vivien, and walked straight into the warehouse at the back, she looked at everyone, a pair of small brows furrowed slightly, and said.
"Looks like it really annoyed that Young Master Sidney."
Gross has a general understanding of Sidney Collins' "best" temperament - the other party has always been eager to repay him, and it is no secret in the perception of gamers in previous lives, as well as in the city of Karsas.
"It's all my fault, Mr. Gross."
Eve's little face was worried, her fingers grasping the ends of the gray hair that fell on her shoulders, stirring incessantly—
This girl seems to have an extremely sensitive heart, and she is suddenly full of guilt when she thinks of implicating so many people because of her own affairs.
"Eve, these things have nothing to do with you."
Grabbing ahead of Vera, Gross enlightened and comforted—
As one of the parties to the mission of "Merchant Ignati Woods", the gray-haired girl is also a victim. When the victim apologized for it, he felt as if the world had become ridiculous and ridiculous.
"You didn't do anything wrong. We may need some delay, but we will send you back to Mr. Ignati Woods anyway. ”
Gross swears by it. At this time, it was not only the mission itself, but it was a great act of kindness for him to save Eve from the inside of the "Black Dragon's Eye".
