Chapter 36: A Sudden Disaster
Vins really didn't expect that this Anross would slip away like this, and he didn't even want to say a word.
Estimating Anrose's identity in his heart, Elmer, who was behind him, pinched the flesh on Vins's waist and said, "A little bit ahead, I'm almost suffocating......"
Then Vince remembered that there was another person behind him, and hurriedly took two steps forward, turned around and asked, "Are you okay......?"
Elmer's cheeks puffed out, gulping in the fresh air. When she had caught her breath, she glanced at Vins and said, "What can it be? It really makes you suffocate to death?! Hmph! Tell me what happened to that person just now? Why did the black guard suddenly find you?!"
Vins was surprised and said, "That black guard is here for my robbery last night, you don't know?!"
"Robbery?You were robbed last night?!"
"Yes, it's right at my house, and I'm so scared that I jump out of the window and run. But it didn't seem to be long before the group of people who robbed me were caught by the Black Guard. I thought they wouldn't find me and would ask my neighbors. ”
"Didn't the Blackguard figure out who was robbed?"
Vins touched his chin and muttered, "No, how can this group of black guards not know who I am......?"
"What do you say to yourself alone?"
Wens couldn't think of a reason, and he had been used to all kinds of things he couldn't figure out in the past two days, so he patted his head and said, "It's nothing!
Still a little uneasy, Elmer asked, "Is it really going to be okay?" How do I feel about the difference between you and the blackguard just now, huh...... Weird?"
Vins didn't want Elmer to worry, so he pretended to smile lightly and said, "What else can happen? I was caught robbing me, and the blackguard also took the evidence, so I'm resting back and quiet now!"
"Alright, let's go, eat!" Elmer knocked on his door.
"What did Uncle El cook?"
"Hmph, I can't say it yet, lest I kill you!"
Vince laughed dumbly.
......
Late at night, at Joel's house.
Joel lay on the bed with a blank face, his face serene, as if he had just died.
Just this afternoon, he lost the biggest face of his life.
It all started at noon. At noon, Yerevan came to visit the sick at Joel's house, and by the way carried out a humanitarian economic assistance. Yerevan is worthy of being an elder who has worked in Dark Moon for half his life, and he is full of appearance in front of his juniors, and his shot is twenty silver nar, a full month of Joel's salary.
Although it is hard to repay the debt, Joel is an optimist himself, so he does not feel any pressure in his heart.
Joel's previous medical bills were paid for by Titch. Now that he has money in his hand, he not only pays off Titch's debts immediately, but even has a lot of spare money in his hands.
With spare money and the injury being well under Teach's careful care, Joel couldn't control himself a little, and his mouth kept sour.
So in the afternoon, he impatiently finished dinner with Titch, and sneaked into the tavern while Titch was home.
But when Titch returned home and found that she had forgotten her bracelet at Joel's house, and she was really worried about Joel, who was still injured, she hurried back to Joel's house.
Joel is worthy of being Joel, the best hunting assistant at the same level as Vins, and he is thoughtful under Titch's high-pressure rule, even if he runs out to drink, he calculates the situation in case Titch kills back. In order to avoid being caught by Titch, he painstakingly selected a tavern that was not too far from his home and he rarely went to.
But Titch is also worthy of Titch, a girl who grew up with Joel as a childhood sweetheart. Holding a key to Joel's house, she opened the door and found that Joel was nowhere to be found, and with the twenty silver nar that Yerevan had funded Joel at noon, which made her a little uneasy, she immediately determined that Joel had gone to drink.
She was even more sure that Joel had a ghost in her heart, and she would definitely not dare to go to the bar she usually frequented, in case it was seen by acquaintances and spread to her ears, there would be absolutely no good fruit from him to eat. And Joel, who has an injury on his leg and is usually budget-conscious, must be reluctant to take a carriage to get around, so the only thing he can choose is the nearby tavern.
With such a clear mind, the horror of the hunters trained by Darkmoon can be seen from this.
Being able to stand still in the dark moon, Tichy's ability to move is by no means comparable to that of ordinary girls. After identifying several possible taverns with Joel's experience in battleing her wits with her, it took only twenty minutes for her to figure out Joel, who was drinking happily with her friends at the Goldfish Bar.
And the goldfish bar was Titch's first target.
People can't help but sigh, this is a woman's powerful intuition when catching rape.
Besides, Joel, after he arrived at the goldfish bar, he immediately realized the benefits of being well-connected, and he actually had a friend who had a little friendship to celebrate his birthday at the goldfish bar!
Poor Joel thought that he had finally escaped from Titch's oppressive rule, and that it was a good opportunity to eat and drink in front of him, so he immediately greeted him and blended in, releasing the pain in his heart that had been stuck at home for days.
Needless to say, Joel was picked up from the crowd by Titch while he was swaggering. It was not up to Joel to say that dragging him was going back.
Joel wanted to struggle for his man's face, but the moment he was pulled out, he saw countless sympathetic eyes.
Obviously just a young man in his twenties, he has already lived the hard life of a forty-year-old middle-aged man, can life be a little sader?
In the eyes of all the men at the bar, Joel's dignity as a man came to an end along with his last chance to drink.
With this experience, Titch simply went home and packed his things and stayed in the living room of Joel's house. She kept an intense watch on Joel twenty-four hours a day, and she didn't intend to give him a chance to sneak out and have a good time.
Now Joel is so heartbroken that he doesn't know how to face the friends he drank with today. Listening to the sound of Titch cleaning up the bed in the living room outside, he suddenly felt that life had lost hope.
"Bang bang bang!!"
Suddenly, a sharp knock on the door shatters Joel's illusions about life as a prisoner after marriage.
"Titch, open the door......"
The voice that has not been moistened by alcohol for a long time is weak and hoarse when he speaks.
Titch in the living room ignored him and went straight to open the door.
"Uh-huh?!Titch, why are you still at Joel's house so late?!"
There was a surprise and envy in the living room.
"Ask him yourself!"
Still angry, Titch was not at all polite to the late-night guests.
Joel smiled bitterly, his lover is really not an ordinary temper......
"Crunch—"
The bedroom door was pushed open, and the newly arrived guest slipped in.
It's Crick, a good friend of Joel met in the Darkmoon guild.
It's not so much a friend as a business relationship. Because Kyryton is located next to the Monster Forest and the Leyline Corridor, the Blackguard has a department dedicated to dealing with this type of information. And Crick's uncle happened to be in a high position in this department.
On weekdays, the monster forest is in turmoil, and as long as there is news that you can get benefits, Crick will immediately tell Joel that the last two will be divided into threes and sevens.
Joel had heard that Creek could still get a lot of information about the leyline corridors, but his strength was obviously not enough to be a partner in this area, so he didn't care at all.
And now this Creek, who usually has nothing to do in the Three Treasures Palace, is visiting in the middle of the night, and there must be some great information to tell him.
Joel immediately swept away the slump and sat up straight on the bed.
Although it was the middle of the night to go out for a cooperative business, Crick still wore a straight and neat black suit. But he has a bitter face now, and it doesn't look like it matches his handsome clothes at all.
"What kind of stupid thing have you kid done, and you have made Tichy so angry and poured all your anger on me!"
Joel smiled and said, "Oh, it's inevitable that women will be angry, just endure it and it's over." Little things, little things!"
Crick snorted angrily and said, "That's a nice thing to say, it's me and not you who eat her eye attack." Hmph, how's your injury?Wouldn't a good pastor like Tiki not heal you yet?!"
Joel smashed his mouth, thought about it for a while and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's no different from usual, the rest is just to recuperate and recover." ”
After hearing this, Crick suddenly said, "To be honest, this matter is very important. If you're not healthy, I'll send you up again, and if something happens, how can you let me behave in front of Tiki?"
Joel was stunned, he knew that it was not a trivial matter to get Creek out in the middle of the night, but he didn't expect it to be so solemn. Crick has always been a wanderer, and it's rare to see him so serious.
"Tell me your information first, I'll do what I can. Besides, even if I want to force myself, if you look at Titch like that, will she agree?"
Crick held his chin and thought about it carefully, took a deep breath and said, "The monster in the depths of the Demon Mist Forest has escaped out!!"
Joel's waist straightened up suddenly, and he asked in astonishment, "How is it possible? Haven't we all been with them for so many years?!"
Crick shook his head and said with a gloomy face, "I don't know, some people speculate that it may have something to do with the beast tide two days ago." But that's not the point, the point is that they have reached the edge of the Demon Mist Forest, and they may pose a threat to the people in our city at any time!!The adventurers who went to the Demon Mist Forest today to try their luck and explore the cause of the beast tide have suffered heavy losses, and I heard from the people who were lucky enough to run back that the lowest one has three-star strength!"
"Now that the plague treatment in the city has reached a critical period, there is no way to draw people from the leyline corridor, and it is impossible for the black guards to go out to hunt in the Demon Mist Forest, let alone adventurers. So Joel, the only ones you can rely on now are those of you who have been professionally trained!"
"This time, all the registered personnel of the three major guilds will be mobilized, and the threat of monsters must be eliminated, this is a death order!"
A sickly pale appeared on Joel's face: "This...... Isn't this a death sentence......"
After countless actual battles, how could he not know that there was a huge racial talent gap between humans and monsters! Even in the same level competition, it was difficult for humans to take advantage!
Crick nodded gloomily and did not deny it.
