Section D, Chapter 18: The Starer (Seresia)

"That's it ahead. The mad dog tugged on the reins, slowing the horses down.

Looking down at Lusa sitting in front of her, Mad Dog leaned forward slightly to make her sit more comfortably, "Have you been here, Lusa? It's almost the busiest place in the whole of Neverwinter - it's livelier than the city gate." ”

"Central Business District...... Approached, but did not enter. Lusha hesitated for a moment and lowered her hood: "When I got lost with my sister before, I walked through this street. ”

"Well, I haven't been here either. Mad Dog pulled his trench coat tightly, "It's well deserved, it's really hilariousβ€”I've never seen so many pedestrians in Neverwinter." ”

The snowy and misty streets are full of people and horse-drawn carriages full of goods are constantly speeding by. Every shop along the street is constantly popping in and out, and the neighborhood is a lively environment.

"You're looking back, Lusa. Mad Dog grinned, "Well, try to take your hood off?" ”

"Woo......" Lusha seemed a little nervous, "I feel so uncomfortable being stared at by them." ”

"That can't be helped. Even if you block it with a cloak, outsiders can see that this is a little beauty. What's more, the whole city now knows that there are two Aiya girls who saved Snowcastle. The mad dog laughed loudly, and as a result, attracted more attention. Aya shivered in front of her, pulling her hood down continuously.

Is it necessary to be afraid of this...... Seresa suddenly remembered what Lucina had said: when faced with a large number of living people, Lusa's gaze phobia was extremely severe.

There are so many people here, no wonder she is afraid...... Mad Dog was thinking about how to alleviate Aya's fears.

Clearing his throat, Mad Dog lowered his voice: "When you weren't cursed, you weren't wearing a hooded cloak, were you?

"There are a lot of Aiya in Alloya, and a lot of people have pet Aiya so it doesn't matter. Lusha's tone was a little troubled: "I've been feeling very flustered since I left home......"

"It's really not easy for two Ayas to depend on each other. Mad Dog touched Lusa's head and said with emotion, "But it's better to stay with me and the knight, right?"

"Hmm. Aiya nodded vigorously and shrunk up: "Feel...... Very secure. ”

"That's right. With a bastard like me as a bodyguard, you can settle down and no one is afraid. Mad Dog coughed dryly and issued a statement to try to reassure Aya: "Someone bullied you and went directly to Mad Dog." If Lao Tzu can't bite him to death, he won't be surnamed Emir. ”

"That...... You don't have the surname Emir in the first place. That's my last name. Lusha pointed out cautiously.

"Oh yes, it's Lisen. I accidentally said it wrong. Mad Dog grinned: the topic had just changed successfully, and Aya didn't seem so scared anymore - maybe he should spend more time with her in the future and help the girl overcome the psychological barrier with more care.

She has lacked all kinds of love in the past five years, so she will develop this kind of character...... Mad Dog narrowed his eyes in satisfaction: he had long wanted an eye-catching sister Adam.

Sister...... A sense of loss came to my heart: I used to have a sister too...... But he was hacked to death by the crazy bastard dad - along with his mother.

"I say, do you mind having another brother?" Mad Dog immediately said his illogical thoughts: "Because we have sisters, wouldn't it be too pitiful to have no brothers?"

"I don't mind. Unexpectedly, Lusha's tone was happy: "Mad Dog, brother?"

"It sounds awkward, just call me a mad dog. Ceresya grinned and pinched the horse's belly excitedly: "Since we agreed, we are not outsiders - you don't have to be polite to me in the future, just throw me in trouble." ”

Pull the reins to the left to turn the mount to the left. Mad Dog frowned and looked at the more bustling streets: "There are so many guards and sentries here...... It was only a moment before I met three teams of patrol riders. ”

"Well, because there are a lot of citizens here. Lusa leaned back, leaning completely into the arms of the mad dog, "The two mutant hunters still haven't caught them. If you attack here, the casualties will definitely be heavy. ”

"Heh, isn't it just two?" Mad Dog stretched his arms slightly, hugging Aya in the crook of his arm, feeling his sister's still warm body temperature, "I bet they must have ambushed a lot of troops that night in Coldsnow Castle - Eternal Winter is so big, it's possible that they can hide anywhere." ”

"Hmm. Looking very relaxed, Lusha stretched her body and leaned her weight on Mad Dog: "Now the whole city is under martial law, and a large number of troops are used for patrols. ”

"There are only more than a thousand rookie recruits left, what can it do?" Mad Dog looked at the shop next to him, pulled the reins and stopped the horse: "This restaurant looks like there are a lot of customers...... Shall we go in and have a look?"

Lifting her body nestled against the mad dog, Lusha nodded. Jumping off the horse sideways, the mad dog picked Aya off the horse and put her on the ground. Finding a tree and tethering the horses, Seresa pushed open the door and walked inside.

"Whatever, Lusa. Taking the menu, Mad Dog handed it to Aya comfortably: "Don't worry about the money, your brother has it here." ”

"Is that okay?" Aya was a little embarrassed: "But I can't eat too much, and sure enough, it's still ......"

"If you can't eat it, just take it back to the knight, why worry about this?" Glancing at the waiter waiting for the order next to him, the mad dog coughed dryly and narrowed his eyes: "But don't order too many sweets, that guy can't touch a bite." ”

Aya hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Then he timidly pointed out the name of the dish. They are a cream stew, chocolate cornsweet bread, fruit salad and oatmeal consommΓ©.

"That's all?" the mad dog narrowed.

"Hmm. Lusha nodded and closed the menu: "Enough to eat." ”

"Okay, we'll find a place to eat dessert later. Selesa knocked on the table, pulled out the purse and handed it to Lusa, "Ask him how much it is, settle the bill first." ”

Lutha took the purse and said something to the waiter. Then, he took out a few coins from his waist and handed them to him. The man rummaged through his fanny pack and placed a few more coins in Lusa's hand.

"What's the matter, you can't use Eurasian currency?" the mad dog frowned dissatisfiedly.

"Well, sixty-five loths in total. Lusha nodded: "And even if you can use Eurasian currency, it will be too difficult to find money to settle the bill directly with gold coins." ”

"Cut, what a hassle. Mad Dog took back the money bag and pushed a gold coin in front of Lusha: "I'll go to the bathroom." ”

Standing up and stretching his back, the mad dog went straight to the toilet. At the moment when he finished untying his hand, he inadvertently glanced out the window through the glass. However, the scene in front of him couldn't help but make his heart tremble.

Outside the fence of the backyard, a man in a hooded cloak was staring out.

His eyes shone with the blue light of the Corruptor.
