Chapter 553: The Lurker (2)
Of course, it is relatively cheap, but one gold coin and ten silver coins are still quite expensive for the average person. Equivalent to a month's salary of one and a half months. But for Sebas—no, the people Sebas serves—it's not a lot of money.
Sebas took the leather bag from his bosom. He opened the pouch, took out eleven coins from it, and handed them to the young man.
"The amount is correct."
The youth would not confirm the authenticity of the coins in front of Sebas. Because of the long-term deals, Sebas has earned this level of credit.

"That old gentleman is so handsome."
"That's right!"
After Sebas left the Wizards' Union, there was a lot of talk among the staff at the help desk, especially the women.
It's not a wise woman there, it's a girl who meets Prince Charming. A man sitting at the counter frowned slightly, showing a tasteful expression, but he had actually felt Sebas's extraordinary temperament, so he didn't say anything.
"That kind of person must have had experience in serving the nobles of the great. Even if he is a noble man with a small status, it is not surprising that he is the third boy of a noble family."
It is not uncommon for people from noble families who are unable to inherit the family business to become housekeepers or maids, and the higher the status of the aristocratic family, the more people in particular want to hire people of this origin. Sebas's appearance and posture are impeccable, like an aristocratic demeanor, and it is acceptable to say that he is from an aristocratic background.
"Because his demeanor is quite elegant."
Everyone sitting at the counter nodded their heads.
"If he invites me to tea, I'll definitely follow."
"Well, I must go, I must go! I will definitely go too!"
The girls screamed and cheered excitedly. Suddenly he said that he should know where to find elegant shops, and suddenly said that he must be very good at being a flower messenger, and the men squinted at this group of women, and they could talk energetically.
"That man seems to be very knowledgeable, could it be that he is also a magic bard?"
"I don't know. Oh, I can't do it."
The magic purchased by Sebas is a newly developed genre. It can be assumed that he also had a considerable knowledge of magic. If you are ordered to buy it, you don't need to flip through the book, just say the name to the counter. Instead of doing this, Sebas flipped through the books and shopped, apparently choosing what magic to buy.
It would never have been possible for an ordinary old man, in other words, it would have been assumed that he should have been educated in magic - a magic troubadour.
"And the glasses...... Looks like it's expensive."
"Could it be a magic item?"
"No, it's just high-end glasses, right? Dwarven crafting or something."
"Well, it's amazing to have such beautiful glasses."
"I'd love to see the beautiful women I used to come with again."
A man whispered as if he suddenly remembered, but there was a wave of opposition from the side.
"Hey, that woman just looks empty."
"Well, Mr. Sebas was so pitiful back then. It's like she's dictating."
"It's beautiful, but it must have a terrible personality. And look at us with that contempt. It's pathetic that Mr. Sebas should have to serve that kind of person."
Hearing women's criticism of the same sex, men are afraid to speak up. Sebas's owner is a peerless beauty who snatches their hearts in an instant. The women beside him were also carefully selected as the beauties of the face of the Wizards' Union, but they were almost like that woman. Men are tempted not to be jealous, but if they say that, it is self-evident what will happen to them.
No man is stupid enough to do that. So—
"Alright, that's it."
Seeing the adventurer walking towards the counter, the young man stopped chatting, and everyone straightened their expressions and concentrated on their work.
Sebas, who stepped out of the Wizards' Guild, looked up slightly at the sky.
Due to the return of the old lady halfway, the scheduled time was exceeded, and the sky was slowly dyed dark red. Looking at the watch taken out of his bosom, it was time to return to his accommodation. However, the business scheduled to be dealt with today is not done yet. It's okay to wait until tomorrow to do these things, so should we wait until tomorrow? Or should it be done within today, even if the time is exceeded?
He hesitated for a moment.
The old lady was making her own claims. Then the duty should be done.
"—Shadow Demon."
Sebas's shadow smelled crawling and moving.
"Please pass on to Soleuka that I will be back later. above."
There was no answer, but the breath began to move, from shadow to shadow, and faded away.
"Okay." Sebas muttered to himself, shifting his steps.
There are no particular destinations. The next thing Sebas needs to do is to fully grasp the geography of the royal capital. The master did not specifically order him to do so, it was his own voluntary action, as part of the collection of intelligence.
"Well, let's go that way today."
Sebas muttered to himself, smoothed his beard, and turned the scroll he was holding in one hand. He also looked like a happy child.
He kept advancing, gradually moving away from the central part of the royal capital, which was safe and secure.
After a few corners along the passage, the alley began to feel dirty, and a slight stench wafted from it. It is the smell of food waste or excrement. Sebas walked silently in the air that seemed to pollute his clothes.
He casually stopped and looked around. He seemed to be walking into a very secluded back alley, narrow enough to barely be passed by.
In the narrow alleys of the sunset, there are tall buildings with uninhabited apricots on the left and right blocking the light, making it difficult for people to walk an inch. There was nothing wrong with Sebas, though. As if blending into the darkness of the night, he walked silently, without making a sound of footsteps.
After several corners, Sebas continued to walk in a less crowded direction, stopping abruptly in his unbewildered footsteps.
He wandered aimlessly, all the way here, and found himself quite far from the dwelling that was his stronghold. Sebas intuitively grasped where he was now, and connected the two points of his current location and stronghold in his mind with wires.
With Sebas's physical strength, this distance is not within reach overnight, but that means going straight ahead. If you walk back the usual way, it will take a little time. Thinking that night had fallen, it might be almost time to turn back.
He wasn't worried about the safety of Soluxiang, who lived with him.
Even if there is an extremely powerful enemy, just as Sebas's shadow hides a shadow demon, so does Soleuca's shadow also hides a monster. As long as you use the monster as a meat shield, it should be enough to buy time to escape. That being said–
