Chapter 117: Doing Good
readx;? Miranda drank two large glasses of Bill, although the wine was very light and she didn't feel anything at first, but she soon felt dizzy after two glasses. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć By the time everyone was about to go back to the hotel, the little girl was already asleep on the table.
Alan tried to scream a few times, but the little girl didn't even react. Alan had no choice but to pick her up and carry her out of the bar. The bar they were at didn't have a hotel, so they stayed in a hotel two hundred steps away from the bar.
After returning to the hotel, Beregor and Alan explained that he and Fresnel would be looking for traces of the missing object in the city in the past two days, so the mercenary team had nothing to do in the past two days, just stay near the hotel and wait for news, and once they confirmed the specific location of the target, they could start the operation immediately.
For this news, Alan couldn't ask for it, hoping that Berego could find the people directly in the past two days, and then the group of people would board the ship directly and return.
"My head hurts!"
The little girl got up the next morning, rubbed her head and called out for a headache.
"Tell you to drink less, you don't listen, that's the result. ā
Alan sat on the edge of the table and said as he picked out the magic materials in his hand.
"I didn't know if this wine had any stamina. ā
The little girl said unconvinced.
"It's not that the wine has stamina, it's that your alcohol is too bad. ā
"And how did I get back to the inn?"
The little girl looked at her surroundings, apparently unrepressed by how she had returned to the inn.
"I came back with you, and you slept like a dead pig, and you couldn't wake up no matter how much you screamed. ā
"You're like a dead pig. ā
The little girl stuck out her tongue, grimaced, and then turned red for no reason.
"Wash your face, let's have breakfast. ā
Alan didn't notice the little girl's expression, he finished picking out the magic materials on the table and put them in his bag.
During the day, the two of them did not return, Shelly stayed in the bar and watched the excitement of the square, while Alan took Miranda and the two of them around, and went to the market by the way.
As soon as he entered the market, Alan saw four or five children gathered on either side of the door, all of them in rags and unkempt, and they would rush over every person they passed, begging for them, but most of them were impatient to push them away, and some would throw down a silver coin for a group of children to grab it, and then they would take the opportunity to walk away.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Allen's heart turned upside down, the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of the people in the square yesterday for the church's fundraising are still vivid, and the same people are far less friendly and generous to the beggars who really need them to do good than the children in the square who have no worries about food and clothing.
Allen remembered the scene when Gabriel Hepburn was killed in Kanazawaen at the foot of Nanshan.
The doctrine of "mercy, fraternity, and equality" is so ironic and amusing in these two things, and in this city where the believers are so widespread, people are so open-minded.
"Please, good Samaritan, give us some money, we haven't eaten for two days. ā
The children finally saw the two of them, perhaps because they saw the sympathy in Allen's eyes as they stared at them, so they boldly rushed over and grabbed Allen's hand or hugged his leg with their dirty hands, which startled the little girl.
"Don't worry, there's something for everyone. ā
Alan took out the coins in his pocket, and each child was given a gold coin.
The children were stunned for a moment holding the gold coins in their palms, for they had never received so many alms. After they confirmed that the gold coins in their hands were indeed fake, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Alan.
Alan didn't go into the depths of the market, where the children were still kneeling in front of him and wouldn't get up. This unexpected encounter made him feel very heavy when he visited the market.
"If it weren't for Brother Allen, Steven and Stany and I would be like them. ā
The little girl suddenly tightened Alan's hand.
"You won't. If it weren't for me, you would still be living a carefree life in Yuewan Village, but I brought disaster to you. ā
"Brother Allen, don't blame yourself, it's not your reason. ā
The little girl leaned her head on Allen's body and said with red eyes.
The market in Pooh City has a wide variety of goods, but most of them are specialties of the southern region, and things related to magic materials are very rare, and even those who buy magic materials are merchants who are ready to make money, but it is not surprising that mages are not welcome in the powerful regions of the Holy See. Alan is now dressed as an ordinary person in order not to attract attention. Alan and Miranda walked around and found only a limited amount of magic materials in the corner of the market, and Alan bought them all with a slight bargain.
Since entering the Higg Empire, the magic materials brought by Ai Lu have been used up, but in the next journey, he has not been idle, on the one hand, he has practiced his meditation skills, and on the other hand, he will purchase magic materials on the spot, conduct magic experiments, and make some magic arrays everywhere he goes.
In the evening, the two returned to the bar and dined with Shelly and the others, this time the little girl got drunk after drinking a glass of Bill, and Alan had to carry her back to the hotel again.
For a whole day, until the rest of the night, Berego and Fresnel did not appear, and Alan and the others did not know anything about their whereabouts, and I don't know if they have gained something.
The next day was the same, but that night, Alan put the little girl who had drunk too much on the bed, cleaned up, and was about to conduct an alchemy experiment when there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Alan, Beregot, they're back, saying they have something to discuss. ā
Outside the door came Shelly's voice.
"Okay, I'll be right over. ā
Alan agreed, tucked the quilt for the little girl and walked out, a bleak night breeze blew, and the weather in the south gradually began to get cooler.
"Your Excellency, have you found the person you are looking for?"
Alan asked after seeing Berego with a somewhat solemn expression.
"In the past two days, we have searched the whole city, and our people have left a message that they want to come and settle here. Unfortunately, no exact trace of our people has been found. ā
Berego spoke.
"Is it possible that your people have left?"
"No way! He must be around here, but he could be controlled. ā
"So what are you going to do next? ā
Berego's words made Allen's heart not only sink, it seems that his hope of completing the task as soon as possible and returning to the ancient city of Ao is about to be disappointed.
"It's not for nothing, though, we've found some anomalies. ā
Berego continued.
