#16. Tavern

Getting rid of the pursuers is actually a very profound knowledge, and after being wanted for so long, Lena naturally summed up a set of her experiences for the pursuers.

For example, put some spells on the road that will only get in the way but will not be fatal.

Another example is to seize the opportunity to drill into the women's bathroom, the women's public toilet, the women's locker room, and other similar places.

After all, the pursuers are men most of the time, and there are very few people who don't play cards according to the routine in this situation.

So the guards who maintained law and order in Shartinia used practical actions to tell Lena what it means to be conscientious and dedicated, even if it is a women's bathhouse, as long as they can catch someone, they dare to drill!

Originally, Ballard was in a state of collapse when he was forcibly dragged across the women's bathhouse.

But after seeing the group of pursuers do the same, his suppressed emotions were suddenly alleviated a lot.

At least he was no longer alone when everyone shouted and beat him in the streets of Saltinia.

Heine didn't care about Lena's way of escaping, she was a thief, and she hadn't used it less.

The only thing she didn't understand was why Lena chose to run for her life.

Lena's image of being able to do no nonsense was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and theoretically speaking, she felt that in this case, Lena should have cleared the field directly with a backhand storm bomb, not like now......

Boom!

"Pain, pain, pain, ......"

Rubbing his mind that crashed into the advertising version because he was distracted, Heine asked the question directly.

Hearing Heine's question, Ballard burst out laughing.

"How much 'reputation' have you accumulated since you separated from us?"

This was said to Lena.

Without looking back, she threw a stone wall into the street behind her to slow down the guards' pursuit, and Lena asked Ballard with a roll of her eyes.

"Are you going to be a primitive after separation?"

"Almost, after all, you didn't dare to go out on the street without a beard."

Ballard's unthinking response brought back a sense of guilt that hadn't been felt in a long time in Lena's heart.

Slammed his head to suppress that emotion, ignored his question, and responded directly to Heine's question.

"What if you don't run? This is the first stop on the way to Starsky Island, how can we set off after completely offending the people of Shartinia. ”

Thinking that he had learned more about Lena's character, Heine nodded and sighed softly.

"So Lena isn't the kind of person who is extremely unreasonable...... I thought it would be a direct anger on the city's ......"

"If she is embarrassed to some extent, she will still be angry, and she has bombed other cities because of this before. And you think that now we have offended fewer residents? ”

The second half of the sentence was addressed to Lena, and as she spoke, she gestured to the mess everywhere she passed.

As a warning, Lena gave Ballard a punch straight away.

Due to the height difference, her punch landed right on Ballard's crotch.

But fortunately, the bearded uncle was prepared, and he saw the small fist smash into that position, and the muffled sound of flesh hitting the iron plate echoed in the ears of the three of them.

He pulled out the iron plate that he didn't know when he stuffed it out of his crotch, turned his head to look at the guards who had caught up again, and then threw the iron plate behind him.

There were so many sins in front, and the guards subconsciously lowered their speed when they saw the iron plate left behind.

There's no guarantee that the iron plate isn't a magic item.

So, taking advantage of their cautious iron plate to slow down, Ballard smashed a homemade smoke bomb on the ground, picked one up in one hand and turned directly into the side alley.

The appearance of the smoke let the guards know that they had fallen for the fugitives, but after rushing into the smoke screen, they found no trace of the three men.

It's as if the three of them disappeared out of thin air as if they were living people.

After repeated investigations, no trace of the three suspects was found, and in the end, the captain of the guard had to choose to close the team and leave the place.

After the guards had completely gone away and the streets were once again bustling with activity, Ballard put down the tarpaulin that had covered the three figures.

The guards had been to the alley, and a piece of cloth alone could avoid the guards' sight, which made Heine curious about the piece of cloth in Ballard's hand.

It must be a treasure!

Glancing at Heine, who had already regarded the cloth as a treasure, Ballard shoved the cloth back into his backpack in a few clicks.

"Alright, you two go find a tavern and ask for news, and I'll go to the docks to see if there are any ships that can go to sea in the near future."

As he spoke, he held out his hand to Lena.

Forcing the excuse to explain why the tarpaulin was so magical caused Heine's upset by asking for money, but fortunately, the thief lady had a good memory, and she clearly remembered that Lena didn't have a penny on her.

So she pulled out her purse, took out a few gold coins that would last a few days of eating and drinking in a tavern, and laid the rest in front of Ballard.

"You have to pay to rent a boat, right?"

Heine's clever performance surprised Ballard a little.

After all, from the moment they met, he thought Heine was the fool that Lena had found to be reusable cannon fodder.

After a moment's hesitation, Ballard briefly explained to Heine what the tarpaulin was for.

- Engraved with a circle for visual misdirection and breath shielding, it was the work of another companion, and after the disbandment of the Dream Troupe, the experimental "rag" was taken by Ballard as a memory of his companion.

Knowing the function of the cloth, Heine said nothing more.

He handed the money bag into Ballard's hand, and pulled Lena out of the alley.

Looking at the two backs of the tall and the short in the distance, Ballard sighed softly, as if he suddenly understood why Lena wanted to restart that unfinished journey.

Shaking his head and smiling, he turned around and made a detour to the docks.

It's easy to find a tavern where you can rest and get news, especially in a rich city like Sharthnia.

But before that, Lena still cast a spell in front of Heine that was cast by her face - maliciously selling cuteness.

She was doing this for nothing else, she just wanted to trick a hat to simply cover her face, and she had seen a wanted notice posted on the wall in the alley just now.

Of course, after Lena tricked her into getting a spiky hat of the same style as before, Heine paid the shopkeeper.

Although there is some conflict between credibility and her profession, principles are principles and cannot be broken at will.

After some searching, the two came to a tavern not far from the port.

Just by standing at the door, you can feel the noisy atmosphere in the tavern.

Lena couldn't help frowning at such a lively tavern, Heine thought she hated the noisy environment, but in fact, Lena was worried that there would be no vacant rooms in such a lively tavern.

It is rare for the floor to be able to enjoy a soft big bed so carefree after sleeping on the floor for so long, and the disappointment of not having a room makes Lena naturally a little unhappy.

However, everything always has to hit luck, and in terms of luck, Lena still trusts herself.

The Staff of Igdrasil in his hand is the best proof of this.

Pushing open the shutter door, with the many eyes cast on the body, trouble also found the door.
