In a small town like Creek Wood, the tavern is always the liveliest place. Mercenaries and adventurers stationed at the border are accustomed to squandering their hard-earned money in places like taverns on days when there are no missions. This way of life is probably unreasonable for the Serodib people of Wangji, and even the merchants of White Horse City are not used to the habit of using money lavishly and indiscriminately by the Lengshan people, but for the people here, this is their attitude to life, and the style inherited from the mountain people makes the Lengshan people not afraid of death, but afraid of empty life.

Having fun while alive and then dying honorably in battle is the traditional way of living for mountain people.

Even in his room, Arnold could hear the disturbing laughter and scolding of the drunkards downstairs and the terrible singing, which tormented Arnold, who had always liked to be quiet, and he hated these rude people, whether they were malicious or not.

Lily pushed open the door and walked in.

"Isn't it noisy?" she stroked her long blonde hair and sat down on the edge of Arnold's bed, "Honestly, I've had enough of these guys in the past three days, and if it weren't for you, I'd have wanted to leave this tavern early." ”

"If tonight's action goes well, we can leave the town tomorrow. Arnold got up from the bed and frowned at Lily sitting on the edge of the bed, "Can't you stay away from me?"

"Why?" Lily asked, pursed her lips and pretended to be innocent, "you don't like me?"

Arnold quickly raised his hand, revealing two scarlet eyes under his sleeves. Lily shuddered, stood up honestly, and sat down on the other side of the room.

"Did you find where the mage is?" Beatrice flew out of Arnold's sleeve and landed on his hand, her eyes fixed on Lily.

"Not yet. Being stared at by Beatrice, Lily felt a chill down her spine inexplicably, "I haven't gone looking for it yet, haven't you set off yet?"

"So, you're going to have to wait for me?" Arnold frowned, "I thought you could settle this matter yourself." ”

"Hey, listen, it's your business, not my trouble. Listening to Arnold's words, Lily seemed to start a fire, put her hands on her waist, and glared at Arnold with raised eyebrows, "I help you so much, don't you thank it, where did you get so many requests?"

Arnold was silent, and after a long time, he lowered his head and said softly:

"Thank you. ”

Lily was stunned, she didn't expect Arnold to really thank her.

"I'm sorry I haven't thanked you for your help to our brother and sister. Arnold raised his head, with a very formulaic expression, and although the corners of his mouth hooked a slightly apologetic smile, it made Lily feel very fake, "The situation is compelling, for the sake of my own life, I must always be vigilant, I hope you can understand." Of course, I am truly grateful to you for the help you have given me. ”

"No sincerity at all. ”

Lily took a sip suddenly, and her face became very unsightly, and all her displeasure was written on her beautiful face.

"There is so much nonsense, and there is no 'thank you' in reality. She stared at Arnold, "Say that again, or I won't accept your gratitude." ”

Arnold turned his face as if to avoid Lily's gaze. "Don't do that, that's a shame. ”

"Is it a very difficult and shameful thing for you to thank a woman?" Seeing Arnold's appearance, Lily's momentum that was suppressed by Beatrice just now suddenly rose again, she licked her lips and stared at Arnold unrelentingly, "Don't be shy, it's only you and me here, and no one else will hear it again." Come on, be brave, baby. ”

Lily teased Arnold with a seductive voice and very ambiguous words, and at the same time moved her body forward, especially as she was lying on her stomach and pressing her hands on the bed, like a female leopard walking towards her prey, if it were an ordinary boy, probably the nosebleed would come out.

But Arnold was indifferent to the sight.

"It's time to go. Arnold stood up and walked out the door without stopping, "Settle it early, let's get out of here early." ”

Lily didn't want to let Arnold go just like that, but when she tried to reach out to stop Arnold, Beatrice suddenly flew up and stood in front of Lily, screaming strangely.

Frightened by the crow, Lily fell straight to the bed.

"Don't try to tempt me all the time. Arnold held out his hand and handed it to Lily, "You're not my type. ”

Lily was stunned for a moment, grabbed Arnold's hand and subconsciously asked, "Then what do you like?"

"Lori. ”

"Die!"

——————————————

Although Arnold was helpless about Lily's behavior, it must be said that her seductive ability was indeed very powerful, and during the day the drunkards in the tavern still circled around the beautiful blonde hostess, and at night, they seemed to have completely forgotten about this person, and drank to themselves, and no longer asked Lily to serve them wine.

This also made Arnold even more convinced that Lily's identity must not be simple.

Although the tavern is still lively at night, it is much quieter outside. Creek is not a big town, and the Ridi River, which flows into the town from the west, runs through the town, and then flows out from the northeast to the Vortagan Territory. Surrounded by cliffs on both sides, the town of Creek is basically built along the river, and the road by the river is the only street in the town, and you can see the end from the beginning, and it is almost clear who is wandering outside.

Although there is no curfew at night in the town, it is forbidden to pass through the sentry posts, so Arnold still has to be careful with the guards to avoid being targeted by them.

He and Lily hid in the alley next to the tavern, the buildings on the side of the street were all built facing the river, of course, in addition to the shops on the side of the street, there were also a few houses on the side of the cliff behind, but if someone was not wandering in front of other people's houses, it would be more suspicious.

"Well, do you feel any traces of magic?" Arnold looked at Lily, he was not a mage, and it would be better to leave these things to Lily.

Lily snorted and sniffed in the air, and honestly, the way she looked reminded Arnold of a newborn puppy.

Cute is cute, but ...... Still a little too stupid.

Arnold couldn't help but hold his forehead. "Do you use your sense of smell to sense magic?"

Lily sniffed twice, her expression serious, but the more serious the face, the more awkward Arnold felt.

"Of course, can't you still see with your eyes?

No, I always thought it was with my eyes...... Arnold said silently in his heart.

"So, what's the situation, have you found it?" Suppressing the desire to complain in his heart, Arnold turned his gaze away and quietly looked at the guards at the sentry post.

"Like...... Found it. Lily frowned and said with some hesitation.

"Where?" Arnold asked, of course, he didn't know what Lily's expression was, but he didn't say it.

Lily turned her face in the other direction, staring at the town to the west.

"Over there. ”

Arnold was stunned.

Where is it? How could it be, could it be...... Isn't the mage here to check on the departing people, or is he observing the people entering the town?

Arnold suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

In an instant, a lot of thoughts popped into Arnold's mind, and he couldn't help but wonder if the mage had already discovered him and knew that he had entered Ximu Town, and at the same time, he wondered if Tiger Man had already known that he was coming to Ximu Town, so he specially sent the mage to wait at the gate of the town. And the deepest suspicion is still the woman next to him, he now has to wonder if this person who calls himself Lily is the helper that Serena found for him, and whether Lily may have betrayed herself.

Arnold's eyes became wary as he stared at Lily's blonde hair and began to wonder if he could subdue her before she could react.

But then, he gave up on those ideas. As long as you think about it a little, you can understand that Lily will not betray him, because there is no need for this, if Lily takes refuge in Tigerman, then she can catch herself directly when she goes to meet her, Tigerman only wants his own life, he will not care about anything else.

Arnold quickly calmed down, and the only question left in his mind was whether the mage had discovered his own affairs.

If Tagman's people find out, they will definitely come to arrest him immediately, and there is no secret in me that the other party wants to know, and there is no other party that will worry the other party. According to this logic, Lily's suspicion can be ruled out, and at the same time, it can also prove that the other party should not have discovered me.

"What should I do?" Lily turned her head and looked at Arnold, she didn't seem to be aware of Arnold's mental activity just now, "It seems that the mage is not the one who wants to check the exit, in that case, we don't need to worry about him, just leave the country." ”

"Wait a minute, let me think. Arnold cupped his hand on his temple, his mind still a little confused, "We know almost nothing about this mage now, we don't know anything about his abilities, we don't know his mission, we only know that he is hiding in a room in town. At the moment, it cannot be completely ruled out that he will pay attention to the people who leave the country, so we still have to be prepared for the future. ”

"Then according to the original plan, I will charm him. ”

Arnold bit his lip and still didn't seem to have made up his mind, maybe it could be said that this was indecisive, but in his current situation, Arnold would rather be a little more cautious than add unnecessary risks to himself because of his carelessness.

Lily looked at Arnold quietly, and this time, she didn't bother the boy.

"Then be careful yourself. In the end, after much deliberation, Arnold decided that it was not too risky to do so, so he agreed to Lily's proposal.

"Are you caring about me?" Lily raised her brow, returning to her old colors.

"I don't want you to ruin my plans!" Arnold glared at Lily, "Don't make too much of a fuss, and don't kill that mage so that others will notice, anyway...... Don't mess around. ”

"So in your eyes, I'm a mess—" Lily sighed, looking sad, "I'm serious, especially with men." ”

Arnold slammed Lily, and in the darkness of the night, a low "pop" sound could be heard in the alley.

If it weren't for the thick skirt on Lily's body, I was afraid that the "pop" would be even louder.

Lily blushed, glared at Arnold, and ran away. By the light in front of the tavern, Arnold could see the blush on the other man's face clearly.

Arnold rubbed his fingers, savoring the sensation just now.

"It feels pretty good. ”

He said a word, and then immediately threw the miscellaneous thoughts out of his mind, and seriously thought about his next move. While thinking, he was also distracted by the movement on the sentry post, which was to help Lily control the wind.

It didn't take long for Lily to return.

"Is it done?" Arnold looked at Lily's relaxed and slightly smug expression, and already had the answer in his heart.

Lily beckoned to Arnold, motioning for him to come closer.

Arnold frowned, then whispered. However, just when he thought Lily would tell him some secret, the other party suddenly patted him, exactly the same as the part he had just slapped Lily.

"It's revenge!" she said with her neck held high, smugly.
