Volume 2 Don't Chapter 36 He's Back (Part I)
Solar calendar February 1729 Lozema
On the day of the festival, the two teenagers got the ranking given to them by the adventurer's guild, but this number was so ugly that both of them tried to forget it, after all, after completing the identity registration of adventurers, they had not done a single task except for the "Angel Event", and the "Angel Event" was not counted as their credit.
Although they were a little unhappy, the training of the two did not slack off, and Saiya's supervision was stricter than that of Hopler, and the two could not be lazy.
Three days after the feast, the two men, who had completed their usual morning training, were having breakfast with Saiya, and were about to leave the arena after eating, when the sound of horses was heard outside.
Then there was a muffled sound of a huge axe hitting the ground, causing the tables in the hotel to shook.
"It's Uncle Hopler!" Rod jumped for joy at the voice.
"It had to be him. The two teenagers hurried out of the hotel, and sure enough, Hopler had indeed returned.
Although he was expected to be reprimanded by the female staff of the hotel, everyone was very happy, although the fighter had only been gone for more than half a month, but his loud voice and the iconic sound of slamming the ground left an impression on everyone here. Being able to come back after leaving was very welcome for someone who runs the hostel. After all, there are many guests who leave a message or even a deposit to come back next year, but never see them again.
When the boy and Hopler re-enter the hotel, they find that Saiya has disappeared without a word.
"Forget it, that's how the nightingale is, I'll accompany you after a long absence!" Hopler laughed out loud.
"Hmm!" the boys nodded excitedly, although the nightingale left, they knew that Saiya had just ducked back into the shadows, watching them from places they didn't notice, so although they were a little regretful, there was no need to think too much.
"I'll have to tell you what I saw when I went to the Holy Capital. Hopler grabbed a slice of bread on the table, stuffed it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and hurriedly swallowed it, "Let's go, kids." β
The three of them walked on the road leading to the direction of the city, and Hopler told them about the people and things he saw when he returned to the holy capital, as well as what he saw and heard on the day of the sacrifice, which the teenagers could not imagine on a daily basis.
The Holy Capital, a sacred place by word of mouth, the capital city of Gilsde is a legendary city with all the guild headquarters, and since knowing of his existence, both teenagers have longed for it very much. But because of the training, there was no hope of going for the time being, and what Hoppler said greatly satisfied their curiosity.
"The dwarves drink a lot, that's really good... Alas, I lost worse than them. β
"And how did you play on the Day of the Sacrifice, Uncle Hopler?" asked Lott expectantly.
"Uncle Hopler must have won. Rod said assumedly.
"Hahaha" Hopler touched their heads, "although they didn't win in the end, but well, the results are not worse than last year's, those young bulls that came out this year are a bit interesting, but unfortunately the experience is still insufficient, and when they grow up in another two years, an old man like me may not be able to do it." After saying his business, Hopler suddenly stopped, and then raised his voice, "I also asked by the way who the Thieves Guild won this time. As he spoke, he began to turn his head from side to side, looking for something.
The teenagers also understood what he meant, "Wow!!", and they also cooperated with the deliberate raising of the pitch, "Who is it?!!I want to know!!"
"Shall we wait or not?" Hopler winked at the two teenagers.
"Okay!!" the teenagers understood.
The fish struggled for a while and finally took the bait, "Say, who?" Sayya's voice appeared behind Hopler without warning, startling all three.
But they were quick to smile triumphantly.
"It's okay to tell you" The wicked smile on Hopler's face was very exaggerated, it seemed that he didn't do this kind of thing often, and he couldn't grasp this expression at all, "You have to promise me not to hide in the future, anyway, there will be no danger in the city of Lozema." Children also like to talk to you, so be considerate and considerate of me. β
"Really?" said Saiya, with an indifferent expression, "I don't know who it was on the roof that day..."
"That's rare... Rightβ" Hopler hurriedly interrupted her in embarrassment.
"I'm just troublesome, I can go to the thieves' guild here and ask directly. Saiya looked indifferent.
"If you're not afraid of being told half-heartedly when you go on a mission, you just ask~" Hopler still had a wicked smile on his face, he expected that Saiya wouldn't dare, after all, it had been three days, and if he really wanted to inquire as a thief, he would have known it a long time ago.
It turns out that Hoppler is right, and Saiya gave in after struggling for a while, "Okay, I don't have to hide, but I have to cover my face, I have been watching these two people for so many days, and my face has been remembered." β
"That's up to you. Hoppler agreed.
"Then tell us who's winning. Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, the teenagers next to them hurriedly asked, they were actually very curious.
"It's Brandt. When Hoppler finished speaking, everyone was surprised.
"Oh!!, is that Brant we know?" the boys remembered him, "so good?!"
"That's right, it's the male thief, and you should know that, Saiya. Hopler tilted his head to look at her.
"Brandt," Sayya's face became a little disappointed, "I thought it would be Liz... Brandt is improving so fast, and it looks like Liz will have to continue working hard next year. After Saiya finished speaking, she noticed that the expressions of the three people next to her were a little abnormal, "What's wrong?" Saiya looked at them strangely.
"Thisβ" Rod looked at Lot, who looked at Hopler again.
"Sayah, come over here. Hopler frowned, and he pulled the nightingale aside.
Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Saiya's face became vigilant.
"Haven't you read the report of the 'Angel Incident'?" Hopler cautiously probed her.
"No, what do I think that's for?" After speaking, Saiya hesitated, "Is there anything in there?"
"It's strange for me to tell you, but since you don't know, I can't hide it from you. Hopler's vague remarks made Saiya even more nervous.
"What the hell is going on?" she was a little anxious.
"Surprisingly, Liz is dead. Died in the 'Angel Incident'. Hopler looked straight at him, and he thought it would be better to say it without putting on any superfluous expressions, especially in the presence of a keen thief.
Saiya paused for a moment, "Dead?" with an incredulous look on her face.
"You can ask Modrilla to show you the report, and tell her that she probably won't tell your teacher. β
"Why didn't anyone tell... Ah, I'm not one of Liz's either, not even a friend, how could anyone think of me and tell me..."Saya laughed at herself, apparently accepting the fact.
"You better go to the Adventurer's Guild once, and I'll accompany them for the rest of the way today. β
Saiya nodded and accepted, she really wanted to find out what happened, and it was impossible to rely on Hoppler to say it, although she really had to leave the task for a while, but she couldn't help it, "I'll rush back as soon as possible, you have to be careful when escorting them out of the city." β
"Don't worry, it's okay. Before Hopler could finish speaking, Saiya turned around and disappeared.
When they arrived at the gladiatorial arena, Hoppler saw the amazing growth of the teenagers in just a few days, although they still did not win, but the skills improved significantly, "It seems that Saiya is troubled, she is really not afraid." "Hopler knew very well in his heart that this kind of progress must have been instructed, although thieves generally do things more freely, but spreading the guild's combat skills to non-believers is taboo even for the thieves' guild. Pamela's crows and sparrows are the biggest scandal of the Thieves' Guild, and if it weren't for the kingdom's backing, this mistake would have been solved with a massacre. However, as the source of the crow queen, she can also act so arrogantly, and Queen Palinda's diplomatic methods can be said to be very clever.
Back at the hotel, Hopler looked around for Saiya, and said in the morning that he would rush back as soon as possible, but he didn't see her until the end, and the old soldier was a little worried, not worried about safety, but she was actually just a child, only two years older than Rhodes and Lot, no matter how mature her mind looked, he couldn't tell if Saiya could bear such a thing directly.
The female staff of the inn said that she did not see Saiya return, and the warrior became more anxious, and the teenagers began to worry about it, as a nightingale, it can be said that it is common to not find her. But the person who said that he had met was gone, and this is a trouble, unless he was lying, otherwise the thief would never break the appointment. Saiya can be said to be missing at this moment. Hopler chatted with the boys, but didn't get any valuable clues, where exactly would Saiya go?" the warrior sat in his seat and thought for a moment, and finally slapped himself on the thigh.
"Kids, would you like to see the world, and make a suit by the way?" Hopler made a strange invitation to them.
"Make clothes?" Rhodes looked at himself, "Don't we have to wear leather armor to move, what's the use of other clothes?"
"We can't wear them for the rest of our lives, and we'll have to wear other clothes when we're done training, and we can keep a few clothes to wear at the prom in the future." Lotra tugged at his sleeve and winked at him.
"Ah, well. Rod looked at Lotter's expression and knew that he meant something else, although he didn't understand the deep meaning, but he agreed first.
The three of them left the hotel, and Hopler led them to the center of the city, where it was already evening, and the carriage could not be hired, so they had to walk.
"So where the hell are we going?" Rhodes looked at the houses around them, this was not the direction they usually walked, he and Lott had already walked all over Lozemar by New Year's Day, this direction was to go deep into the residential area, where adventurers rarely go, where citizens lived.
"The tailor's shop has said that they will make clothes for you. Hopler looked serious, not like he was joking.
"Huh?" Rod didn't understand at all.
"Just follow along. Lott gestured to him, motioning for him not to ask more, although he didn't understand, but it was certainly right to follow Hopler.
Although Rode, who pouted, was a little unhappy, he also accepted it, and the three of them were speechless all the way to a tailor's shop.
Hopler walked to the door, turned the handle, locked it, and knocked on the door.
"I'm sorry, we're closed, please come back tomorrow. "It's a man's voice.
"Maybe I won't want it tomorrow, just open the door if you want to make this money. Hopler struck the ground with an axe. This time he was very careful, and his voice was not as loud as before, to prevent the surrounding residents from noticing him.
The sound was heard inside the door, and soon the door opened.
"Who are you?" said a man dressed as a tailor.
"Clothes makers. Hoppler stared at him with his eyes.
