Chapter 8 There is a man floating on the river
There was a person floating on the surface of the river in Chapter 8
Feeling the soft touch on his arm, Aier felt a little uncomfortable, so he tried to pull his arm out of Ves's embrace, but instead of letting go, Vess hugged it tighter.
Aier was a little helpless, tilted his head slightly, and said to Weiss with a wry smile: "Weiss, can you let go of your hands, it feels very uncomfortable to walk like this......"
"Don't!"
Weiss lowered his head slightly, unable to see his expression clearly, but his tone seemed to be different from usual.
Aier couldn't help frowning slightly: "Vess?"
"Ahh Weiss's voice was a little inexplicable, "Do you not trust me?"
Air paused, and Weiss stopped, and the two of them stopped in the cold night.
Al sighed and said, "Why do you ask?"
Weiss bit his lip and said, "Aier, you brought me to this shop today to test me, right?"
"Temptation?" said Ayr, a little puzzled.
Vis continued: "I like you, El, from the first time I saw you, I fell in love with you!"
Al opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to respond.
In this case, as a woman, hearing another girl's confession to herself, Aier only felt extremely complicated, a feeling that even the greatest psychologist in the world might not be able to understand.
Al remained silent at the end, and Vis continued: "Al, I don't know who you are, I don't want to know, I also know that you could leave at any time, but I only hope that when I can stay with you, you are just the Al I know, no complicated identity, no mysterious background. ”
"Er, no matter who you are or what secrets you have, I don't want to know, I just want to cherish every moment with you, so ......"
Vis bit his lip tightly, his eyes filled with sadness, "So, El, you don't need to test me in this way!"
Aier was silent for a moment, then pulled out his arm, turned around, looked at Vis face to face, and said very seriously: "Vess, did you misunderstand something?"
Weiss was stunned for a moment, she expected all the answers she might hear, but she didn't expect Al to ask such a question: "Wrong...... Will you?"
Al pondered for a moment and asked, "Tell me, Ves, why do you think I'm tempting you?"
"This ......," Vess asked rhetorically, dumbfounded, "Ir, didn't you come to this store to find information? Why did you bring me here, Eyre? You could have come by yourself......"
"I see, I said how did you ......" Al touched his forehead and sighed helplessly, "Weiss! I said you! What are you thinking! I brought you here, but I was afraid that I would be anxious if you couldn't find me then! Besides, where did you see that the store was the organization behind me?"
Vis stammered, "But, but...... That one...... Gold...... Code ......"
Aierdao: "One thing you said is right, I did go to find intelligence! Isn't it obvious? Without intelligence, how can we find that black magician on such a large scale? However, I have nothing to do with this shop! Behind this shop is a worldwide intelligence organization, which is semi-public, and many people know about it!"
Weiss muttered, "I don't know!"
Al sighed, "Even if you don't know, you've probably heard of it!
"Darkfield?" Vis blinked, "The legendary uncrowned king of the underworld?"
Dark Field, a worldwide underground intelligence organization, no one knows when it appeared, some people say it suddenly appeared overnight, but more people tend to be a powerful force that integrates those originally fragmented underground organizations.
No one knows who the leader of the dark field is, some people say that it is a means carried out by the three empires in order to secretly fight against the temple, and some people say that the dark field is originally an underground organization of the temple, because almost every intelligence point of the dark field will be set up near the temple and related organizations of the temple.
There were many people who tried to find out the source of the dark field, but after checking and searching, they only found a few unrelated suspected forces, and soon after, the dark field followed these secret investigators to find out the forces behind them, and sent a letter to them.
Since then, the name of the dark field has become more and more famous, and the more it spreads, the more evil it becomes, and in the ears of ordinary people who don't know, it has become a legendary underground king.
"Whether it's the uncrowned king or not, I really don't know, I only know that its intelligence information is helpful for our purpose this time!"
Weiss asked weakly, "Then you put down a gold coin at that time as a password to communicate with them?"
Aier was silent for a moment, and said, "That code is the ...... between that organization and the forces behind me."
"Okay! Needless to say!" Vis interrupted Ayr, "I see!
Al smiled bitterly, "If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have asked you for help when I was hurt, and I wouldn't have handed over the bracelet to you to repair!"
Weiss smirked, "yes!
Aier reprimanded: "Use your brain more when you encounter problems in the future."
Also, don't talk about what you like, love, and so on!"
"Eh?!Why?!Aier, although I misunderstood this time, what I just said is sincere! I really love you deeply! Aier! You just accept me! I will be good to you for the rest of my life!"
The corners of Aier's eyes twitched, and he turned around and left, Weiss hurriedly followed when he saw this, walking side by side with Aier, and then reached out and grabbed Aier's arm with a dead face.
Aier struggled hard, but not only could he not break free, but the soft touch with elasticity was more obvious, Aier had no choice but to let Weiss go!
The two of them walked through the night streets of a foreign country like this, and the picture looked very harmonious and warm, but Aier felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Al trusts Vess, but has to hide something, her background, her mission, and her other identity.
Fortunately, Vess is not a related person to her mission, she really doesn't want to involve Vess, similar to Vess's thoughts, Al also hopes that there will be no superfluous colors in his interactions with Ves.
......
The next morning, after breakfast, Al and Vis went out together to find the dark mage, but the destination was a bit strange.
It didn't take long for the two of them to reach the bank of the river that divided the town of Gro in two.
The river flows from south to north, and its source is in the territory of Winster, but this section of the river that flows through the town of Gro is only a tributary, and the name is directly after the "Gro", which is called the Gro River.
However, it is said to be a tributary, but in fact the Gro River is the same as the town of Gro, and its size is not small, because there are other small tributaries that flow into the Gro River along the way.
Viss glanced at the river, which was two or three hundred meters wide, and then at the lower reaches of the river, where there was no end in sight, and couldn't help but feel a little tingling in his scalp.
"Ah, are you sure you have the information you have?"
Al's face was also a little ugly, and last night, she had received information from the intelligence organization about the dark mage who lived in seclusion here, and had obtained a hand-drawn image.
The personal information about the black mage is as detailed as possible, the name is Gabri, the gender is male, the age is unknown, but it is presumed that he is over fifty years old, has a strange personality, and likes to wear some fancy clothes......
But only one crucial piece of information is vague, and that is about where Gabri lived.
The description of his address in the message states that he lives in a dark house on the banks of the Gro River, but moves from time to time and has no specific location.
On this point, Al was also surprised when he saw this description, but upon inquiry, he was given the explanation that it was Gabbri's personal person
Fetish, the intelligence point here in the dark field was still relatively jealous of this black magician, so the attention was relatively high, but as time went by, they found that although this Gabry was a little weird, he did not show any obvious evil tendencies, and then gradually reduced his attention to him.
Therefore, this information that Al got was three years ago, which made Al very displeased, if it weren't for the intelligence officer's gambling guarantee, saying that in the past three years, there have been alchemy tools made by Gabry on the market, so he must not have left Gro Town, Al would have been angry at that time!
After rejecting the intelligence agent's offer of help, Al decided to try his luck at the Gro River himself.
"Al, how are we going to find him now, I don't even know if he's on the east or west side of the river!"
Al thought for a moment and said, "Let's take a boat along the Gro River first, it is said that this Gabri's house is a particularly conspicuous pure black, it should not be too difficult to find, if you can't find it, you will find another way!"
Al had already said this, and Weiss had no choice but to nod his head in response, and then comforted himself in his heart: it is also a romance to be able to go boating on the river with Elle, although the weather is a little colder now......
Without Al telling him, Weiss volunteered to rent a boat, and the two of them began a river rafting trip.
However, contrary to what Vis thought, this so-called rafting trip was really not romantic at all, and the two sat on opposite sides of the boat, looking for suspicious houses along the way, although they did not blink their eyes, but Vis was disappointed to find that she could not sit next to Al anymore.
The boat drifted on the river, and soon, the day passed, but the two of them never found a single house that looked suspicious.
Seeing that the light of the sunset was already a little dim, Aier was also a little helpless, retracted his gaze looking at the riverbank, and prepared to temporarily end today's trip, stop the boat and dock, rest for one night, and continue tomorrow.
And at this moment, the boatman's exclamation suddenly came from outside the cabin.
Weiss frowned, and asked in a loud voice, "Boatman, what's wrong?"
The boatman also replied in a loud voice: "Guest, I see something floating on the river, and it looks like a person!"
