In the noisy inn, mad dogs, who had not heard of Ellia's whereabouts at all, sat in the corner, listening to the rough laughter and pornographic jokes of the heavily drunk sailors.

The oil lamp in the hall was extremely bright, and for a while, it made the mad dog who had been staring at the lampshade for a long time feel a little dazzling.

It's really noisy...... Mad Dog closed his eyes and let out a long breath of enjoyment: he was not in the mood to stay in such a noisy place before, but now he felt that it would be nice to be a little more noisy.

Mad Dog picks up the glass bottle and gulps down the pungent rum from the bottle: especially when drinking, it's more fun to drink lively.

However, just as he ordered another bottle of non-pungent rum, a man wearing a heavy black cloak and a very low hood slowly approached from the direction of the main entrance and sat straight in front of Cereya.

Was there this person in the tavern just now...... Ceresya rubbed her eyes: I guess I just came in.

After looking at the uninvited guest, Mad Dog proposed, "I came to sit with a man who drank alone in such a remote corner...... Do you have anything to do with me, man?"

"I just love the seat. A slightly hoarse deep voice reached the ears of Mad Dog, who was intrigued by this extremely distinctive male voice. This caused him to raise his head again and take a good look at the man.

"Oh, thank you so much! For the first time, I knew I was so attractive. With a snort, Cereya raised her hand again and called out to the boss: "Boss, another bottle of rum - if you catch up with the pungent one, I promise to stuff it into your chrysanthemum!"

"I don't drink. The man asked slowly.

Then what are you doing here?" "Who said it was for you?" Mad Dog drank the liquid from his bottle: "Lao Tzu kept it for himself." ”

Wiping the wine from the corner of his mouth, Mad Dog burped: "Damn, I should really order some snacks to drink...... It would take another hour for the inn to start serving food - Lao Tzu has a psychological allergy to seafood, and he can't eat all kinds of dried fish. It smells bad. ”

Taking the boss's drink, Mad Dog looked up again at the visitor: he couldn't see the face under the hood at all. His entire body was hidden under a heavy coat that looked so hot that it didn't look like a normal person's outfit at all.

"I say, dude......" Celestia looked at the man's hand on the table, and felt very strange, "Is it so cold in here?

The man was silent for a moment, but then asked a question that was completely out of touch with the original conversation: "Where are you going?"

"Hey, wait......" Cereya frowned when she heard this, "What do you mean by 'you'? If memory is correct, I would have been sitting here alone." ”

"I saw you on the street. The man replied in a sluggish tone: "Two people, both on horseback." ”

"I also heard your conversations. ”

Where did he eavesdrop, and why didn't I pay attention?" Mad Dog frowned.

"Mad Dogs and Knights - you must be Mad Dogs. ”

Isn't it true that you've been eavesdropping, and you might not be able to tell who's who? Cereya wanted to vomit disgustingly: to be called a mad dog by this kind of thing is purely to slander him.

"Holy. You deserve to bark as a mad dog?" Seresa spat on the ground, "Damn, the guy who doesn't even dare to show his face still dare to call me a mad dog? Seresya Lisen, just call me Uncle Lisen! Also, I guess you went to the knight first, and then came to me? ”

"Lisen, don't get me wrong. I came straight to you. ”

"Looking for me?" Mad Dog knocked on the table impatiently: "Fuck, what can you do with this suspicious-looking guy looking for me? It's popular to find mad dogs to run errands these days, right? Don't you be afraid to bite?" After taking a sip of wine to moisten her throat, Seresya continued: "You weren't stopped by those guards?" Although he had already learned from listening to the sailor's conversation just now, those guards were purely a group of lazy mercenaries hired by the Golden Sands Chamber of Commerce.

"Where are you going here, Lisen?" Completely ignoring Cereya's words, the man repeated the question again.

"Didn't you say I almost forgot—didn't you eavesdrop on us for a long time? and didn't know we were going to the Permafrost of Canorea?" Mad Dog was already impatient: "Less of a fume when you ask questions—how long have you been with us?"

"From the moment you enter the city. This time he replied crisply, completely unexpectedly by Celesya: he had intended to start a new war of words.

"I'll ...... That's even more interesting. Mad Dog stared at his hood: "Are you idle and staring at the two big men entering the city?

"Just hoping to make sure. A hoarse and muffled voice sounded again from under the hood: "The land of permafrost is huge...... You don't seem to be sure where to go next. ”

"It's nothing to do with your suspicious-looking guy, right?" Mad Dog snorted, "Since you've overheard so much, you should know that we're probably not going that way, but staying here until his daughter arrives...... You still have a question unanswered, Mr. Hood, how did we get to you?" two names flashed through my mind: Governor Carreso and Grunne, who wrote the letter.

Or ...... Someone who unleashed the Shadow Demon. This person certainly wouldn't be Carreso, but in contrast to Anusen's thoughts, Celesya was extremely suspicious of Gureen, whose motives were unknown.

It is likely that this person has a connection to Gruen...... He felt that way from the beginning.

"I have no comment......" The man was silent for a moment, "Can you tell me what you really want? That's not what you think at all, I know very well." ”

It's infuriating to pretend you know everything...... "Before that, I've already told you my name—Seresa Lisen. But what about your name, it's too precious to be known to outsiders?" retorted in a snarky tone.

"I have no comment. ”

He replied simply...... "Such a spectrum, and another one that has nothing to say?" It is common sense to declare one's name before asking someone a question -- then let's stop our conversation." Mad Dog picked up the bottle and stood up, "I think you seem to like this position." It's okay, we'll give you this lovely secluded corner, and there's nothing wrong with drinking with those singing sailors. ”

"But then again......" Mad Dog tilted his head to drain the bottle and slammed it back on the table. Squinting at the man, Ceresya snorted, "Even your appearance won't be without comment, right?"

Before the man could react, he reached out and quickly lifted his hood. However, a black mist suddenly floated out of it, and Ceresya took a step back in shock, leaning against the wall.

The man's hood was empty. As the black mist drifted away, clothes such as cloaks and gloves fell to the ground, gradually dissimilating into the black mist and gathering together.

The dark red eyes that gradually revealed in the black mist stared at the mad dog, and a whisper came from Ceresya's head.

"Tell you my name...... The dead. ”

The black mist dissipated from the air, and Ceresya fell to the ground, shaking with her stinging head.

However, the atmosphere of joy was still there, and the noisy sailors did not seem to notice what was happening.

What's going on with the guys who don't react at all when they see so much black smoke...... As if her head was about to crack, Cereya struggled to her feet against the wall.

"Guest, are you drinking too much?" the boss's voice came from the counter, "I've been shouting loudly since just now, like someone sitting across from you...... Why don't you go back to your room for a while? When dinner is ready, the clerk will call you. ”

Selesa raised her head in astonishment and looked at the main entrance of the inn: "No one...... Where do you come in?"

"Nope. The boss simply denied: "You're the latest one to come in."
