Chapter 6: Stealing Chickens Doesn't Make Rice
【The Imperial Capital of the Crescent Moon Empire in the Western Continent】
The weather in the imperial capital today is extremely clear, as if it is to welcome the arrival of the expedition members. The magnificent city gate of the imperial capital was open to welcome the expedition members from all over the country, they all had solemn faces, and worshiped to this solemn imperial capital, but a few people were strangers, there were bursts of snoring from the carriage, the middle-aged uncle swallowed clouds and spitted mist in his mouth, the three black-robed people couldn't see the expressions on their faces at all, and the coachman drove the horses lazily.
On the streets of the Huiyue Imperial Capital, people came and went, the sound of horses' hooves with iron felt and the marble floor made a crisp collision, the sound of hawkers and the sound of people meeting filled the streets, and Ike drooled and fell asleep. Cruise met and greeted a few of his old acquaintances, and the expedition members had great respect for Cruise, after all, he was a veteran of two expeditions, and the rumors that were widely circulated among the people all spoke of Cruise's experience.
"Hey, little ones, you have to have a good relationship with them, when you get to the expedition, these are people who put their lives on the line, don't think you're an elf and show yourself high, oh my God, that beautiful woman's body is really hot." The three Gina, who were still very serious, were weak when they heard Cruise's last words, and followed such a captain......
"Boy, get up, I'm going to eat." Ike's ears, Ace's voice sounded, since he experienced a simple contract that made him feel a little incredible, this troublesome guy has been following him, usually in his body like a ghost, occasionally come out to roam, anyway, others can't see him, but when it's time to eat, it actually becomes a physical life, and, eat a lot, every time he will run to the restaurant to squander, seeing that the bag of gold coins he stole from Kodo is about to see the bottom, Ike let out a sigh.
Don't ask me what his contract is, can I tell you that Ace only plucked one of Ike's hairs?
"God, did you give me this bastard so I could keep him? It's exhausting! Ike stood up and shouted like a corpse, and then Cruise's big foot made intimate contact with his face, and he was kicked off the carriage by Cruise: "Boy, get out of the way, don't bother here!" Cruise didn't even open his eyes before kicking Ike in the face.
Ike dug his nostrils, and Ace, who was floating next to him, patted Ike on the head and looked at Ike with a wicked smile: "Let's eat." ”
The two walked into a small alley, and Ace's body changed from a ghostly state to a five or six-year-old child, his appearance did not change, the only change was that he was originally translucent, but now he was completely flesh and blood.
"Hey, you be more restrained, I'm running out of money." Ike said with a bitter face, Ace didn't pay attention to those things, he only knew that eating enough was the most important thing, so he ran straight to the restaurant in the alley.
This restaurant is a little unusual, there are only some hateful faces eating in it, Ike saw it, he frowned instantly, he subconsciously touched the bridge of his nose, at this time Ace was already sitting at a table and asked the waiter to bring him cutlery and pour tea and water.
Those big guys with hateful faces were carrying weapons behind them, and the cups in their hands were all oversized, and Ike was a little numb when he saw it, but Ace was very invisible, and after ordering a lot of things on the menu, the waiter's eyes were straight, and he hurriedly nodded and retreated, and went to prepare a meal for him.
"Hey, are you sure you want to eat here?" Ike asked Ace, who tilted his head to look at Ike and asked, "Why don't you eat here?" Ike had a bad feeling when he looked around and noticed that there were people with hideous faces all around him.
"I think...... Not very safe. As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter was pushed to the ground by a strong man, and let out a cry of pain, and when Ike saw it, the waiter was already stunned by the big man and lay on the ground. The other two waiters carried him away, and the big man wiped the wine off his hands with a handkerchief and continued to nibble on a huge steak.
"It's not a good place...... Ike picked his nostrils, and suddenly noticed a few beads of sweat on his forehead. Ace ate the dishes served by the waiters as if no one was around, and the inhuman eating speed made several big men around him stunned. They thought to themselves, could this seemingly only five or six-year-old child be reincarnated as a starving ghost, in fact, their doubts were already there when Ike first saw him eating, and scared Ike half to death, what kind of creature is such an edible creature......
"You eat it too, don't just eat me, hehe, I'm so embarrassed." Ace greeted Ike, but he always felt that this sentence was too redundant, obviously this kid had already eaten almost all the food, and asked him to eat, what did he mean? Is it polite? Be polite for sure!
While Ike was munching on a steak, Ace had already swept away a table of food with the speed of the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves. Ike watched helplessly as he elegantly wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and a few more people came in the door, just like them, and the atmosphere here was not satisfied. A few people don't have the same sturdy bodies as those big men, their bodies are very well-proportioned, and a few people of normal height wear robes that cover their heads to their feet, which are exactly the same as those elves, and the leader is also a girl.
"Do you have a private room?" The leading girl pulled down her hood as she spoke, it was a beautiful oriental girl's face, tied in a bun, a soft black hair and black eyes have an incomparably matching style, the facial features are just right, and the beauty is abnormal, there is a feeling of green rainbow.
"I'm sorry Miss, we only have the hall here, you can look ......at it" The waiter motioned for her to look at the people nearby, the girl frowned, looked at the waiter, and said, "Then invite all the people in the hall out, we have chartered this restaurant." As she spoke, a man next to the girl took out a gold brick from his robe and slapped it on the table at the front desk, which startled the waiter.
"This ...... This...... Your Excellency, you hold up your noble hand, we ...... I really can't mess with these guests...... We ...... "The waiter's stumbling, beautiful smile disappeared, replaced by cold eyes and cold words:
"Why not?" She asked, and the black-robed man next to her took out another gold brick. The waiter's legs were weak, they all knew that the guests here were ruthless characters, let alone kick them out, even if they spilled the wine like the waiter who was knocked unconscious just now, they couldn't be forgiven, which made them in a dilemma.
"Your Excellency...... We are all ordinary people, don't embarrass us......" The waiter begged, and the girl's patience was gone, but she exhaled calmly, and said:
"I understand, you don't dare to kick them out, okay, I'll help you kick them out, you common people, get out of here quickly, give you a minute." If it was really a little girl who said this, those big men would definitely think she was joking, but at this time, a murderous aura enveloped them, making the hairs on their backs stand up, and a very real fear rose from their hearts.
"You little bitch, why are you letting us out!" As soon as the big man spoke, a silver light flashed, and his mouth was pierced by a sharp blade, and the black-robed man standing next to the girl had already been killed at that moment, and the big man was pierced through his throat by him in an instant, and the blood was cheap on the wall, and the girl was a little disgusted.
"Bai Fenghou, burn it directly next time, don't make it so disgusting, I still have to eat here, okay, you have seen it too, if you don't want to die, just get out quickly." After the girl finished speaking, a man in black beside her kindly reminded: "County Lord, as a candidate for Emperor Cao, it is not good to spit out dirty words...... After listening to his words, she hurriedly covered her mouth.
"Bah, really, Brother Yun Pei doesn't like me like this, Lu Yunhou, you reminded me. Hey, what are you idiots waiting for, don't you get out of here! The girl's actions made Lu Yunhou look helpless just now. The big men ran out in fear, and out of Ike and Ace.
Ace focused on eating, and Ike, after seeing that the big man just now was pierced through his throat at once, his legs were a little weak, not because he was timid, but because his legs were hit by a big man who had just run out, and then he ...... It's numb.
"Hey, why don't you two leave, do you want to die?" The girl found that Ike and Ace were not moving, so she gave the two of them a good performance of her impatient side, Ace's mouth was stuffed with food, and there was no time to pay attention to this woman, Ike's legs were still numb, and he couldn't move if he wanted to.
"Woo woo woo woo Ace spoke to the girl with his mouth full of food, making them confused, and they didn't know what he was talking about, but the girl's eyes brightened up as if she was a clever person, and she looked at Ace and laughed, and said while laughing: "Hahaha, it's actually in this kind of place!" Dream Apostle, great, catch him, catch him, Bai Fenghou, Lu Yunhou and Hao Haihou, hurry up and catch him, this is a powerful guy! ”
Ace was a little stunned, thinking to himself how this girl recognized herself, wouldn't she be able to keep her identity like this, damn girl. He was thinking in his heart, the three black-robed people had already rushed up, the rainbow light flashed in his hand, and with a flick of his little hand, the three black-robed people flew out upside down, and Ike was stunned when he saw it.
"So you're so good, how did you practice?" Ike asks Ace, but he is angry because the girl has disturbed his meal, so he asks her to make amends. Ace threw away the food in her hand, and ran towards the girl very quickly, the girl seemed not afraid at all, and took her hand out of the robe, on which there was a string of delicate beads, and her mouth spat out the ancient oriental text, and the beads flashed, and a roulette wheel circled around the girl, protecting her body to death.
Ace glanced at the girl contemptuously, and shouted with a smile: "Little guy, do you think that you can defend against my attack in this way, it's too naïve." Before the words fell, a radiant ball of energy in Ace's hand formed, emitting a dazzling light.
"County Lord!" The three black-robed men ran towards the girl like crazy, but when they finished a step, they watched the energy ball burst open, and the bright light made them lose their vision for a short time, and when the light disappeared, the girl looked ahead in a daze, looking like she had not been harmed.
"County Lord, are you alright?" The three men in black hurriedly came to the girl's side, and looked at the girl, except that her face was a little pale, and she was not materially harmed.
"It's ...... I didn't get hurt in any way, don't I ......" The girl looked around and found that Ace was gone, and Ike, who couldn't even move his legs, disappeared: "Is it fake?" He didn't make a move at all, just to escape? As she spoke, she noticed that something was missing from her hand, and took a closer look, "Oh my God, my spirit bead!" That damn Dream Apostle, he stole my Orb! Get him back! Without the spirit beads, how can I use spells! The girl howled, and the three black-robed people looked at each other, who would have thought that this dream apostle would be so bad, he actually didn't play according to the routine at all.
The girl was still howling, outside the tavern, three or four streets away from here, Ike was looking at Ace who was playing with the spirit bead with a dead face, digging his nostrils, and said in an extremely mocking tone: "I thought you could kill that girl directly, but I didn't expect you to play such a trick." ”
"Hey, do you think she's so easy to deal with, but, without this thing, haha, she can't be majestic, well, it seems that something that makes me feel troublesome has come over, boy, this thing is for you, and I won't come out to help you for the time being, haha, you can also see my strength, that's right, I'm the dream apostle, really, my identity is exposed, you're free, I have to avoid the limelight first, you can do it yourself." After saying that, Ace became illusory and hid in Ike's body, and he couldn't feel Ace's existence at all.
"Bastard, what a bullshit dream apostle, you're a hands-off shopkeeper! Throw this mess at me, you get out of here, you've seen that novel, the helper stopped in the sixth chapter! No matter how much Ike shouted, Ace just wouldn't come out, he sighed, thinking to himself about finding someone to ask about this bastard.
"Lingzhu, I don't know what the use is. Also, what is it that bothers him? Ike muttered, approaching the deep alley, and soon melted into the crowd and disappeared into the street.
