Chapter 79: Arno Altaïr
"Do I need to claim your title, my lord?" After hearing Arroyo's instructions, Locke did not act immediately, but carefully consulted the young thief.
"No, I don't." Arroyo thought for a moment and added, "You whisper to the man, 'Nice to see you outside, brother,' and bring him over, and that's it." ”
"I see." Locke then put down the knife and fork in his hand, grabbed a tissue from the side and wiped his mouth, then stood up and walked to the corner of the tavern where the gray-robed man was.
After Locke left, Tina, like Arroyo and Raymond, sat at the table and waited quietly. The half-elf girl's scars were hidden by a large, long-sleeved linen dress, and some of the patrons in the tavern were only attracted by her pretty appearance, even if they turned their heads to her.
This made the half-elf little girl, who had noticed these gazes, lower her head a little shyly. She held the milk glass in her hand with both hands, looking left and right at the atmosphere of the store, and faintly had a feeling that Raymond wanted to express to Arroyo before.
It's like you notice a little impetuousness in the air, and the strangers around you are all doing what they're doing calmly, but everyone seems to be ready to move for a purpose, but you can't tell what's wrong with it.
Raymond struggles with his poor articulation skills and doesn't know how to convey his instincts to Arroyo, while Tina chooses to keep silent due to her shyness and introversion.
Half an hour later, after Locke came to the gray-robed man found by Arroyo, Raymond finally couldn't hold back in his heart, and then gently tapped the top of the wooden table with his fingers irritably, and turned his eyes straight to the thief young man beside him and said, "Arroyo." ”
"You should at least call me Lord by now." Arroyo quickly glanced sideways at him and whispered a reminder to him.
He didn't want anyone to listen to Raymond's words and jump out to pierce his disguise.
The future Juggernaut has a coarser nerve, so he doesn't think about it as much as the thief youth. He usually says whatever comes to his mind. So he continued to speak to Arroyo: "Don't care about those who have it or not. Listen to me, Arroyo, you-"
"Your Excellency." Arroyo corrected him with a serious face, "Like this--my lord, you--to be on the safe side, be respectful, okay?" ”
"Okay, my lord, you." I feel like I'm verbally being taken advantage of. Raymond frowned and pursed his mouth, "So, my lord, what do you feel from this tavern... What the...... Forehead ......"
"Strange?" Arroyo helped the clumsy young man say the word.
"Oh yes, it's weird." Raymond immediately nodded, "Arrow... Well, my lord, do you feel anything unusual from this tavern? ”
"Absolutely." Arroyo responded, heart talking nonsense.
When he found the familiar figure in the corner of the tavern. The young thieves noticed early on that although the various people in this shop were ostensibly just customers who came here to eat and drink, they were as if they were drawing many invisible boundaries in their own small groups, and some of them were obviously incompatible with the small city of Boenigs, located on the south bank of the middle and lower Bernudes River. Apparently not locals, but probably adventurers from out of town.
Otherwise, Arroyo didn't think anyone other than the mercenaries would wear leather armor when they ate in the restaurant. Wearing a short sword at his waist, he also has a backpack tied with a rope on his shoulder, and his eyes inadvertently reveal curiosity and greed for various things around him from time to time.
The movement of people is, in a sense, a sign of instability. The gathering of adventurers suggests that there may be some opportunity in this place to attract outsiders - whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, I am afraid that only the prophet knows.
Considering that he still has the task that Finn has given him, Arroyo doesn't really want to be too nosy. If it weren't for the fact that Raymond had a temper out of control and clashed with the security cavalry under Zingler's command before, and killed one of the other party, he wouldn't even want to take out the noble badge of the Durien family so early.
At this moment, after Arroyo and Raymond talked casually for a while, Locke finally walked back with the gray-robed man that Arroyo had found.
Locke led the man in the gray robe and hood to Arroyo's side, then stood respectfully aside.
The gray-robed man came to the young thief, raised his hand and took off the hat on his head, revealing blonde hair, a pair of deep blue eyes, and a mature and handsome face, and stared at Arroyo with a smile and said, "It's nice to see you outside, brother." ”
After saying that, the blond-haired and blue-eyed man sat casually at the table of Arroyo and his group. Tina turned her little head to look at him, and subconsciously shrank into Raymond's arms, which was closest to her. Raymond looked at him with his eyes open for a few seconds, and suddenly in his mind, he seemed to have heard the phrase "Nice to see you outside, brother" somewhere.
He quickly remembered that it was in Hurengel, and while Finn was still asleep in the auditorium of the Cathedral of Tiamagos, Arroyo had taken him to a place called the Brotherhood, which seemed to be the code for the joints of those people.
Suddenly, Raymond looked at this person and immediately guessed in his heart: Could it be that this guy, like Arroyo, secretly has a background in the Brotherhood of Thieves?
In fact, the gray-robed blonde man was not only a member of the Brotherhood, but also a high-ranking member of the Brotherhood, otherwise Arroyo would not have felt that he had seen each other somewhere just from a back—after all, the names and appearances of the other party were all too familiar to the members of the Brotherhood.
"My lord, do you need me to do anything?" Locke's ability to read words made him feel as if Arroyo was going to talk to Arno next, so he stood aside and leaned over and asked.
"Go to the bar and add a glass of wine to my old friend." Arroyo turned his head and told his followers.
Locke nodded, and immediately complied, turning around and walking away from the bar where the tavern owner was.
Two or three seconds later, when Arroyo was out of the way, Arno looked at Arroyo with interest: "He called you sir, so you are a nobleman?" ”
"Just like you." The thief youth's eyes rolled in his sockets, and then he also put a friendly smile on his face, and replied to the man with a little sly tone in his words.
