Chapter 54: Seeing Through
The blazing sun overhead was shaded by the trees, and the city walls were clearly visible not far away, and the sound of the fish-men screaming outside the city could be faintly heard. On the remote street here, Alan stared at the two people in front of the store and smiled slightly.
Countless soldiers suddenly appeared from all directions, surrounded by bows and crossbows, and aimed closely at the two people who looked like ordinary people, waiting for Allen's order, ready to shoot the arrows in their hands at any time.
However, Alan didn't rush to give an order, he just looked at the two people in front of him, or the fat tall man among them.
"Your disguise is perfect, but are you too confident in your disguise?
"Or is it because of your heavy appearance that you don't have the ability to find out at all?"
"Looks like you're not that good. ”
Facing the weapons in the hands of the soldiers around him, the old Cologne of the brewery was already frightened, he looked at Alan with his mouth open, and then at Sam beside him, and stammered: "Mountain, Sam, the lord is looking for, looking for you?"
Sam ignored him, and the expression on his face was unusual.
Or rather, since the discovery of Allen's traces, the silly expression on Sam's face has disappeared.
"How did you find me?"
A word that baffled old Cologne suddenly came out of Sam's mouth.
What's even more shocking is that Sam's voice has also become different from before, and it is much lower.
"Him?"
Old Cologne remembered the wanted notice of the Lord of Bay City before, and looked at the soldiers surrounding them again, and had a faint guess.
So he carefully shifted his steps, a little further away from Sam.
However, no one present paid attention to the old man in his fifties, and the focus on the field was still Sam and Alan not far away.
"You admit it? ”
"Your people are all surrounded, is it any use for me to quibble?"
"How did you find me?"
The previous question was brought up again by Sam, and he looked very puzzled.
He has always been very confident in his disguise, whether it is his appearance, his usual work and rest habits, or even the communication with the surrounding neighbors, he has not revealed any flaws, but he didn't expect to be suddenly discovered inexplicably in front of him?
Faced with the "Sam" question, Alan chuckled: "An alcoholic reported that the bread produced by Sam's Bakery has recently become a lot sweeter, which makes him very unaccustomed to it. ”
"That's it?"
Sam couldn't believe that he was exposed because an alcoholic didn't know what to do?
Seeing that the target was surrounded, Alan was not so anxious, he was like those broken-mouthed villains in the novels of his previous life, patiently explained:
"Many people know that the people of the Roland Empire are used to eating sweet food, while the people of the Stars generally like to eat salty bread. ”
Of course, in general, this doesn't mean much, there is nothing suspicious about the bakery's change of taste, but Sam's Bakery's change of taste is very unusual. ”
"Sam used to work as a baker in our Chrissy family, so I know him well, you may not have investigated this piece very carefully beforehand, Sam has a very bad tooth since he was a child, so he can't, and can't make sweet bread at all, my brother once asked him to make a piece of sweet bread to try it, and he was directly rejected by him without fear of blame, so..."
Shrugging his shoulders, Allen looked at "Sam" not far away with a playful look on his increasingly sluggish face.
"I can only say that your luck is very unlucky, who to choose is not good, but choose someone I am more familiar with. ”
"That's it, there are so many people in Bay City, I wouldn't have noticed him under normal circumstances, but it's a pity that you offended a drunkard because of sweet bread. ”
"Drunkard, I've never been very reasonable, maybe he just reported it casually, but he did me a great favor. ”
"I really have to thank him after dealing with your affairs"
"Sam's" face darkened when he listened, and his emotions were extremely complicated.
I don't like sweets, so I don't make sweet bread?
I don't like sweet bread, so I report it to the lord?What the hell does that damn drunkard think?
Didn't pay attention to Sam? Why didn't you pay attention? You know that I didn't choose this person if you didn't pay attention to him...
Damn it!!
If you use an adjective to describe "Sam's" current mood, it must be 10,000 Gobi mythical beasts roaring by, but as an indigenous resident, "Sam" does not have such a peculiar vocabulary, and he only feels depressed now.
Extremely depressed.
Luck, chance or necessity?
All kinds of complicated emotions emerged one after another, and finally turned into a sigh.
"Well, I admit it. ”
"What the hell do you want to do with such fanfare? I don't think I've offended you, and if your memory isn't very bad, you should remember that I helped you. ”
"yes, you've done me a great favor. Alan was noncommittal, but instead of answering "Sam" right away, he asked rhetorically, "Where is the real Sam?"
Alan still has a certain affection for the honest baker, so naturally he doesn't want any accidents to happen
Especially if there is an accident because of the reason for dismantling it yourself, this matter must be clarified.
"Don't worry, I didn't do anything to him, in fact, I have no ill will towards you, towards anyone here. ”
Fake Sam smiled bitterly, a little distracted.
The fact that his proud disguise was so was revealed to him was a bit of a blow to him.
At this moment, he remembered a lesson from his former mentor:
"No matter how perfect your disguise is, be prepared to be seen through at any time. ”
At the time, he was a little unimpressed with this sentence, but now, he has a deep understanding.
He looked at Alan again, "What the hell are you trying to do? I didn't show any ill will towards you, why did I cause you to react so much?"
Alan just smiled at this.
"I don't want to face internal and external troubles, so if there are any variables, they must be resolved as soon as possible. ”
Allen's answer left Fake Sam stunned, not knowing what to say.
The fishmen outside the city are constantly attacking the city, and the city should indeed remain in a state of stability.
Rationally speaking, he did make the right decision, but for such a reason, he mobilized the forces of the whole city to find out a man who did not show any ill will towards him....
Just because he's a "variable"?
Isn't it a little willful?
"It is worthy of the thorns who deliberately mentioned it..."
Fake Sam had a feeling of being speechless. He felt that the young nobleman in front of him was indeed "different" as his sister said
This guy doesn't play cards according to common sense at all!
Alan didn't pay attention to the apparent uncertainty of the fake Sam, he looked at Cologne Sr. next to Sam, and then waved his hand under Cologne Sr.'s nervous gaze.
If old Cologne was amnesty, he couldn't care about Sam's abnormality beside him, and he immediately flashed decisively.
And Alan looked at the fake Sam on the other side again.
"Tell me, what is the purpose of your visit to Bay City?"
"I've been curious for a long time. ”
