Chapter 54: The Rabbit
Ian wasn't worried about whether those five lives would cause him more trouble. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
First, his death was intended to serve as a deterrent to those who plotted against him, so that those who plotted against him could be afraid. Second, these five are just gray people, and they will more or less have a lot of criminal records on them, and the people in the guard team will not care much about their lives or deaths, and the civilians who know them may think that they died not early enough. Third, these people were still wearing night clothes before they died, and they knew at a glance that they were not doing any good deeds.
Things turned out just as he had expected. Several guards symbolically examined the injuries on the corpse, and after hastily interrogating a few nearby "onlookers", the whole thing was completely lost. If you insist on saying that the impact is just that the idlers in the tavern have more to talk about, the insiders suddenly became suspicious.
In fact, after such an incident, Ian had planned to move to a different hotel. A group of thugs could find out about a few of them so easily, and it wasn't necessarily without the leaks of the innkeepers. It's just that this thought just appeared, and then he suppressed it again.
Speaking of which, they are still unfamiliar with life, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not attract new snoops if they change. And they can't stay here for two more days at most, so there's no need to do anything more at this time.
......
After the morning hiccup had passed, Ian revisited Malken's pharmacy with his previous night's results.
When I opened the wooden door, I was greeted by the little girl who was a little scared. Only this time, seeing him, a suspected "fugitive", the little girl was no longer frightened to hide behind the counter, but paused in a daze after being surprised, peeking at herself with a curious expression.
At first glance, the expression looked like he was looking at some "rare" object.
Being looked at by a little girl with such a gaze, Ian couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. It's not that he hates this kind of gaze, it's just that anyone who is blinked by a little girl with big eyes will have a strange feeling.
"Is there anything on my face?"
"Oh, no...... No, nothing?"
As if taken aback by his question, Xiao Aiwei shook her head again and again, as if she wanted to hide something, and said, "I...... I'm going to call grandpa. Then he ran to the back of the house again.
Ian couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head.
In his eyes, the image of this little girl simply coincides with that of a rabbit, and she will jump when she is afraid. He sat down on a random round stool and waited for Malken to appear, but before the equal person came out, the "squeak" of the door rang out again.
Got guests?
Ian turned his head curiously. As far as he knew, the little pharmacy didn't have much business.
The man who came came was a young man of about twenty-five or sixteen years old. Silver-white hair, emerald green eyes, a tall nose, and slightly thin lips make for a handsome and somewhat arrogant image. Dressed in a white robe and wearing a shamrock coat of arms on his chest, he walked into the apothecary shop with a smile on his face.
A young pharmacist with a proud heart? No, it should be an apprenticeship in pharmacies.
Ian had heard Harris introduce the coat of arms of the Apothecary's Guild, and the official apothecary should wear a four-leaf clover coat of arms on his chest, and only an apprentice would wear a clover.
The potion apprentice was slightly stunned when he found Ian, obviously he didn't expect to see an outsider here, and when he noticed Ian's "special" appearance, his face didn't change much, but the disgust that flashed in his eyes didn't escape Ian's eyes in the slightest.
Another ......
Noticing the stranger's true attitude, Ian immediately lost interest in greeting him, and the apparently humble but arrogant young potion apprentice ignored Ian's intentions. He looked around the small pharmacy with a frown, a hint of disdain evident between his brows.
"Young man, what ...... did you bring this time?"
At this moment, the shopkeeper Malken walked out with a smile on his face, but when he found that there was another "customer" in the store, he was slightly stunned, and the little Ivy who followed him looked at it, and jumped up all of a sudden: "Ah, the villain brother is here!"
Bad guy?
The little girl's crisp voice made the corners of the mouths of the three men present twitch slightly. A hint of embarrassment flashed in the shopkeeper's Malken's eyes, Ian turned his head to avoid being spotted at the corners of his mouth, and the young man, who was clearly called "Brother Badass", suddenly couldn't maintain the "standard" polite smile on his face, and a faint trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes.
"What are you doing here?"
"You're not welcome here. ”
"Get out, get out quickly!"
Xiao Aiwei obviously doesn't plan to let go of the "bad brother" in her eyes, this little Lori who is as afraid of life as a rabbit seems to have completely forgotten her "nature" at this moment. She puffed out her cheeks angrily, jumped out from behind her grandfather at once, and gave birth to two pink and tender little hands to push the silver-haired young man out, and there was a posture that if you don't go out by yourself, I will push you out.
The silver-haired young man, who had never suffered such "humiliation" since he was a child, suddenly lost his face. As a well-educated and well-established person, he thinks that he can't deal with a wild girl, but it's too annoying to let this wild girl push and push him. So, in desperation, he couldn't help but turn his head and shouted at the shopkeeper who let the "little rabbit" Hu come in front of him.
"Master Malken, is that how you treat the emissary of the Apothecary Guild?"
"Ivy, don't mess around, come back!"
This annoyed and angry shout finally worked, and the apothecary owner dragged the indignant little girl back with a frown. After pulling his granddaughter behind his back and comforting him twice, the seemingly young old man let out a long sigh and turned back to the silver-haired young man who was already unhappy.
"Harry, I didn't expect you to come here to see me. Why, those people in the Apothecary's Guild are thinking of me again, an old man?"
"Master Malken. After tidying up his slightly messy robe, the young pharmacist named Harry once again put on a seemingly friendly but arrogant smile: "As the envoy of the Pharmacists Association, I am here with the instructions of my teacher, President Owen, to formally invite you to participate in this year's academic exchange meeting......
"Your teacher...... Hehe. The old man shook his head: "I'm no longer a member of the Apothecary Guild, and I don't want to go out and walk around anymore, so you better go back." ”
"Don't worry, Master Malken, I'm not done yet......" Harry slowly raised his head and smiled in a very standardized manner, "President Owen means that if you can't attend the meeting, then I hope you can give a copy of your notebook to the Apothecary Guild to copy." ”
