Chapter 176: City of Wealth
"Am I really drunk?"
Aladdin shook his head, and saw a water tank next to him, he stood on tiptoe and put his head in it for a dip, and when he came out, his eyes were obviously much clearer. Don't look at his height and belly, in fact, Aladdin can throw off Sauron three streets in terms of alcohol consumption, and some halflings can drink barrels equal to their height in a row. It may be related to their habits, tobacco, ale, and food are an essential part of their lives.
Aladdin still trusted his eyes, so he felt that what he had just seen should not be an illusion.
So he cleaned up a bit, and then walked in the direction where he saw Vivien's figure. The city of fortune has a large population, and fat sheep can be found everywhere, but Aladdin is a person who knows how to restrain himself, and he actually has many rules that only he knows, such as he only steals once a day, does not attack the same person in a row, and if he steals a lot of money, he does a little good deed, or goes to the temple of faith to pray for the protection of the gods.
His camp has always oscillated between chaos and goodness and orderliness and neutrality, and he still does it more recklessly.
If he hadn't met Sauron, he would have drifted to chaos neutrality, but because of his small fortune, Aladdin actually restrained himself a lot in stealing, after all, the little Kindler he stole really couldn't compare to the risk gains. Aladdin rarely steals from professionals, and because the odds of being caught are too high, he turns around the street and heads in the direction of the market.
He lost Vivien's tracks.
Because of the initial hesitation, it seemed that her figure had gone far away, but he still judged the direction according to the flow of people.
The market area is where the most people and the most thieves are located.
Aladdin glanced at it and saw that several of them were looking for their targets, and the thieves had their own rules and turf, so it was best not to cross the line casually. Aladdin didn't see any sign of Vivian, but he seemed to see the woman who had first appeared with Vivien, who was buying a carriage, because she had attracted the attention of many of her peers. The City of Fortune was mainly hired by mules and horses. It costs quite a bit of money to buy it directly here.
Aladdin quietly followed, the other man seemed quite alert, and frowned at the other thieves who were pretending to walk by nearby.
Then she slowly said one word: "Get out!" ”
It's a pro!
Aladdin judged it after a few glances, and even deduced that the other party was good at using short weapons, which could be daggers or short swords, and his strength was about the third order, and he belonged to people who preferred an agile fighting style. However, he had no way of judging the class of his target, warrior, wanderer, ranger, etc., many of which would not have their emblems on them. Aladdin could only guess based on the other party's attitude and tone, that she might not be such a good person to get along with.
The woman quickly negotiated the price, and then had the carriage driven to a certain location.
Then she turned and walked in the other direction, and looked around quite alarmingly, Aladdin sneaked up after her, about a hundred meters away, all the way to some rather remote inn. This location is two blocks away from the beginning, with an alley in between, and used to be a fish market. You can smell a little fishy smell from here. The woman quickly entered the inn, and Aladdin hesitated, but did not enter through the main entrance.
He wasn't sure if he had seen Vivien or if he was hallucinating. Or someone who resembles her.
Aladdin made a detour to the back of the inn.
He spat in his hand, and then climbed up the wall behind the inn, barely needing many relay points, and he easily climbed to the second floor. There is hardly the slightest movement in this process. The halfling wanderer was top-notch in this regard, and he quietly listened to the sound of the first room, and there seemed to be no one inside. Then cautiously walked to the second room. There seemed to be men in the room, and there was a snoring sound inside.
As if hearing the door open, he quickly rounded a spot and approached the room around the corner.
"Who?!"
Before he could sneak over to observe, a crisp cold snort sounded in the room, and then a little girl's voice sounded, snorting: "You dare to run in front of me to spread wild!" I don't know if I'm alive or dead! ”
- "Human Immobilization! ”
Aladdin's figure froze in place, and soon the woman walked out, gave him a cold look, and then lifted the puppet-like Aladdin directly into the room.
"Huh?"
Sitting on the bed was a very beautiful little girl, who frowned and looked at Aladdin, and then said, "Is that you?" …… Aladdin?! ……”
Aladdin couldn't move his whole body, only slightly rolling his eyes.
The little girl frowned slightly, lifted the spell with a slight wave of her hand, and then said in a condescending tone, "How did you run here?" You dare to follow me! ……”
The halfling sat down on the ground with a thud, looked at the little girl in front of him with a surprised expression, and muttered, "Vivien? …… When did you become so powerful? ……”
The little girl's expression was a little puffed, she glared at him and muttered to herself, "People are not that stupid!" …… I'm Lily...... That's right! …… I'm Vivien! ……”
"Is it weird that I've gotten awesome?"
Speaking of this, the little girl raised her head, and her voice raised a lot, and she looked like she was full of momentum and took it for granted.
How can I speak before and after?
Aladdin was a little skeptical about whether the little girl in front of him was Vivian, or her twin sister or something, anyway, Aladdin, who had a good intuition, found that the little girl in front of him was very different from what he remembered. Although his appearance was almost the same as in his memory, his facial expressions, tone of voice, etc., were different from the Vivian he had known in the past. In his memory, Vivian was a very obedient, well-behaved, soft-spoken little girl, very gentle and kind to anyone, and would not have such a condescending feeling.
Moreover.
Vivien seems to like white, right? She used to wear a lot of white dresses!
But the little girl in front of her was wearing a black princess dress, with black silk gloves on her little hands, and she looked a little arrogant and awe-inspiring at a glance, quite like those spoiled little princesses in the royal family.
But!
She really seems to be Vivien!
Aladdin believes that his eyes can never be wrong, because even twins cannot be identical, and as a clever wanderer, he can still tell the difference.
"Vivien! ……”
The halfling expression was a little hesitant, and he whispered, "Why did you come here?" Didn't you go north with Sauron? ”
The little girl's eyes swirled around.
The expression on the cute little face seemed to be evil for a moment, and the corners of the mouth showed a slight evil smile, but it quickly disappeared. A trace of moisture soon appeared in her beautiful big eyes, as if she was aroused by sadness, she was a little scared, and her eyes were clouded with tears, and she said in a very distressing immature voice: "This is the case." But my brother and I met the bad guys! ……”
"And we got separated."
"Luckily, I met this sister, and she was kind enough to help me and brought me here."
Women are really born with acting skills.
The woman next to her who looked quite gorgeous immediately changed her expression, and her face was exactly like this.
The little girl then stood up and glanced at Aladdin, who was about as tall as her, and said pitifully in a crisp childish voice, "I thought you were the bad guy, that's why I used spells on you!" ……”
"Don't blame me, okay? ……”
Sell cuteness successfully.
The pitiful appearance of the little girl quickly relieved Aladdin of his doubts, because Vivien at this time was very similar to what he remembered.
Maybe it's because you're in trouble, so it looks a little different, right?
"Who attacked you?"
Aladdin's eyes were slightly in a trance, but he didn't notice it himself, and said a little angrily: "Don't be afraid! If a bad guy bullies you, I'll help deal with him! ……”
Seduction succeeds.
The corners of the little girl's mouth showed a sly smile, her expression was a little evil, there seemed to be a strange light in her eyes, and she continued to say in a pitiful tone: "It's a very bad and bad vampire!" …… But he seems to have offended others! …… There's a very powerful, powerful paladin chasing him! …… You're a great loiter! …… O brave Aladdin! …… Can you help me find out where he is? ……”
"Then we'll sue the holy knight! …… Let him deal with that vampire! ……”
Without hesitation, the halfling patted his chest and said, "No problem!" ……”
………………
In the middle of nowhere.
Sauron's figure had come from afar, and it had been some time since he left the shipwreck's port.
He was now going to the City of Fortune, which was the most prosperous and well-informed place along the coast, and if the Son of Dread appeared, he should be able to get some information. Besides, one of the Dreadful Divine Sons seemed to have appeared there, and Sauron didn't feel like the other party would leave so quickly. After gathering the materials for the bloodline purification ceremony, Sauron immediately took the time to complete the ceremony, and the non-legendary advancement requirements are not high, and the legendary-level bloodline ritual will only need to ask for the help of a high-level spellcaster in the future.
Sorendo has come out with a [Strong] specialty!
"Strength [Talent Specialty]: You are far stronger than others, a powerful bloodline ability that can be obtained through the blessings of the gods. Having this talent allows you to gain an additional 1 health per class level and an additional 2 Tenacity Immunity. It's also possible that you'll be in a near-death state when you're hit by some lethal decisions, rather than dying outright! ”
