Chapter 4 Changes
On February 3rd, there was less than a month before the opening of Jialan Academy. vertex
Early in the morning, Deres packed his things and stepped out of the room.
He carried his magic package, and in addition to the necessary equipment and props, it was filled with enough wolf dung wax, which was a vow made during the trip to Kansa, and he was a man who was good at keeping his promises.
Speaking of which, he and Martin were getting used to the stench, but the neighbors weren't very happy.
Martin also got a job as a waiter in Copperfire Lane, and it is unknown which tavern took him in. This kid goes out early and returns late one day, and when he comes back, he falls asleep, tired like a dead dog, but he lives a very fulfilling life.
Taking another deep breath and feeling the coldness fill his lungs, Dreas strode towards the West Gate.
Eugene made an appointment with him to meet at Simon in an hour.
……
Half an hour later, before Deres reached the west gate, he suddenly saw Duke dragging a stump leg and hurriedly pushing away the crowd and walking towards him.
"What's wrong?"
He hurried up to meet him.
He remembered that the old blind Duke always had a contemptuous smile on his face, and only squinted his eyes to show a look of enjoyment when he stroked the gold coin, but it was the first time he had seen such a flustered face.
"Eugene, Eugene, he ......"
"What's wrong with Eugene?"
"He's missing!"
"What??"
Frightened, Drés dragged Duke into an alleyway, chased away the stray cats and dogs that were entrenched there, and held him by the shoulder.
"Now, what's wrong with Eugene?"
Duke took a deep breath to calm his mind, and then said quickly:
"This morning, he didn't wake up early to wake up as usual, and he didn't even go to peek at Latina to change her clothes, I thought he drank too much last night and didn't take it to heart......"
He briefly summarized the matter, to the effect that he was going to assemble a team to meet with his employer today, but everyone didn't wait for Eugene to get up, knocked on the door and got no response, and finally forcibly broke down the door, only to find that Eugene didn't know where he went, and the quilts on the bed were neatly folded, but he himself was gone.
No information was left at the scene.
After listening to this strange narration, Deres didn't have any clue, but his body shook when Duke thought "Could this be done by the elves".
He instinctively thought of what he had seen that day in the Twilight Tavern.
Could it be someone from that shop who did it?
With a hint of uncertainty, Derris hurried to Eugene's quarters.
He had to see for himself if the scene was as Duke had claimed.
……
Two hours later, with no return, he stepped into the Twilight Tavern again.
This time, he felt that the air here was a little unusual.
It was close to noon, almost the second most crowded tavern, and the other taverns were filled with noise and noise, with the rude yelling and screaming of women being rubbed with oil, mixed with the crisp sound of glasses clashing.
But here, as always, it's quiet.
This seemed to have been felt by Deres the last time he came, but at that time he was pestered by Eugene, and he didn't realize how incredible it was.
The bard played the lute and sang a song he had never heard before, and because there was not much noise, the song was exceptionally clear and beautiful.
"We raise our glasses and toast to the days that have passed.
The era of bondage is about to pass,
Let us knock at the door of truth.
The truth is exposed in the sun, dissipating the smell of decay.
Cleanse the filth of dreams and hopes.
We will be called to build a fortress of flesh and blood.
We will be victorious, and those who have faith are brave and fearless.
……
The bard sang very hard and was very intoxicated, and Deres glimpsed that his lute was slightly larger than the others', and the case had changed from a half-plough shape to a gourd shape with a small top and a large bottom, which at first glance looked nondescript, but after a long time it had an inexplicable pleasing feeling.
His name seems to be engraved on the bottom end.
"Eric?"
Drés was sure he hadn't heard of it, and he knew very well that the bards of the Taverns of Garland would not be called by such names, and that most of them would call pompous names such as "Wings of Liberty of the Champs," "Nightingale of the Jungle," and "Oren the Passionate Redhead."
He listened to the sound of the piano and stared at the plucked strings, not even noticing that someone had walked up to him.
"De, Derees?"
He felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, and when he looked up, he was stunned.
"Martin? You, you work here? ”
"Of course!" Martin replied. His voice was a little loud, and the tall man next to him coughed, and he immediately made a silent appearance.
"You can go outside and talk before you come in." The tall man said.
"Thank you, Mr. Tom." Martin dragged Deres out of the tavern.
Deres was confused, there was such a quiet tavern, and the diners were still enjoying it?
When the two came to the house, Martin said with a happy face: "Deresi, why are you here?" I was about to tell you when I got back in the evening, but Mr. Uno said that my assessment was over, and tomorrow I will start working! ”
"You? In this strange tavern? ”
Deres didn't know whether to be happy or nervous.
"What's wrong? Isn't it good here? Martin asked.
"No, no, no, I mean, um......" Deres didn't know how to put it. Do you find this weird? Such as atmosphere, such as ...... The tall waiter, yes, it was him, he didn't seem to be an ordinary man. ”
"You mean Mr. Tom?" Martin pinched his chin and thought for a moment. "It seems so, I was a little surprised that Mr. Tom's sense of smell was good, I got up an hour early in the morning, and I was blown by the wind for so long, but he still found that I had been soaked in the smell of wolf dung wax as soon as we met......"
"Damn, it's not these!"
Dresses was a little impatient, and he scratched his hair.
"I mean......"
"Don't worry, Derees." Martin patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "I know you're worried about me being bullied by them, no, Jerry and Mr. Tom are very nice, Mr. Uno is also good, they are both very nice to me, don't worry." ”
It was clear that he would be wrong, but Deres didn't know how to explain it.
He could see that Martin had been very depressed during this time, and now he had finally found a normal rhythm of life, but he had to play the role of a saboteur......
Damn it!
Dreas glanced at the tavern behind Martin, and through the window he saw the tall man named Tom staring at the two of them, and he smiled as if he was looking over, and then pointed to the previous seat, and then to the top of his head, and walked away.
At first, Dres didn't know why, but he followed the other man's direction and saw a string of wind chimes made from the shell of the night cry fruit.
It is a flower that only blooms at night, and it is produced by Feiwood, because the petals are thin and long, and when they are in full bloom at night, they sway in the wind, which is particularly beautiful, so they are called the fairy dancers of the night by the locals.
Genie? Night?
And, it seems that Eugene is also a Faywood?
Deresi's pupils shrank, and he instantly understood the other party's hint.
