Chapter 70: Conspiracy to Pay Attention to Volume
When Angel escaped from the east as a child, Dima had a total of three guards by his side, and at that time Zero was just a newcomer who had just returned from the front line, and the boy known as Nightmare was already a guard. After all these years, his appearance has not changed at all, so Angel recognized the other party at a glance.
This meant that Nightmare had already become a Templar at this age.
Judith and the others were shocked, that young man looked about the same age as Lin Qiu, if he was placed in the imperial capital, he was afraid that he would be a hot new star. However, in the more than ten years after the war, the church had never heard of the existence of such a person, and the information of the entire eastern part was extremely obscured, and their knowledge of Dima was still stuck on the battlefield.
How many secrets are still hidden in this steel city?
Lin Qiu didn't pay much attention to this matter, and he had been studying the structure of the Steel City since he entered the city. The houses in the city are next to each other, very different from the loose villages, and the roads in the city are squeezed into intricate alleys because of the close proximity of the houses. It was just nightfall, and most of the shops were closed, and there were so few pedestrians on the street that not even a single person asking for directions could be found.
There are no bright lights at night in the east, and there seems to be an invisible wall between people.
This greatly increases the difficulty of finding their destination.
"It's annoying!"
Lin Qiu rubbed his hair and complained, this was the third time he had gone back to the same place. Not only are there a lot of forks in the city, but also the house number is also a match, walk along the direction for a distance, and suddenly you can't see the door number, sometimes he is so angry that he really wants to come to a meteorite in the center of the city to open the way.
Finding this shop called "Morning Dew Valley" is a matter of luck......
"Brother Swordsman, is this the shop?" said Angel, standing outside a rather secluded shop, waving happily at a few people. Lin Qiu walked over and found that the plaque of "Morning Dew Valley" was hanging crookedly on the door of the shop, and the window was pitch black.
The village chief swore that the boss of the "Morning Dew Valley" had eaten very well in the Iron City, and knew many dignitaries and dignitaries, so that he thought that the boss had opened a big shop.
Another fact that made his face green was that Angel took only 30 seconds to complete the work that he had not been able to accomplish in half an hour.
"I always feel like there's a feeling in my heart that has led me here. Angel explained with a smile.
He had forgotten that this little girl was a lucky star!
It took several minutes for a few people to knock before a sneaky old man came out. The old man's hair was messy, and his eyes were cloudy. The other man's robe was covered with a few patches, and his body was covered with countless patches and a few pieces of fabric. As far as the first impression is concerned, Lin Qiu feels that the other party is definitely not the kind of character who can transport zero out of the city without knowing it.
"Guest, what do you want?" the old man's voice was low, and as he spoke, he pulled out half of his body and looked back and forth a few times, and his demeanor was like that of an underground party member.
Lin Qiu thought that if he was a guard, he didn't care what the old man said, he had to be arrested and put in prison for interrogation first. In short, this is an old man who interprets suspicious with his life.
"It was the village chief of Morning Dew Valley who asked us to come. Lin Qiu seemed to be infected too, and unconsciously lowered his voice.
Hearing this, a gleam flashed in the old man's eyes, and he opened the door and said, "Come in." ”
There were no lights on in the house, and as soon as they entered, they saw a pile of goods piled up in the room. There was all sorts of goods, and there were even cooked meals and marinated bacon on the stove not far away. But combined with this dark atmosphere, one can't generate any appetite.
"Oh, I was going to open a new restaurant where customers can choose their own food while they are eating, but it seems that something went wrong and the store was deserted. The old man introduced himself.
Then he went to the wooden table at the end of the room, and carefully lit the oil lamp on it.
"You weren't supposed to be targeted by the guards when you came, were you?" asked the old man.
In fact, not long after they entered the city, they were targeted by the guards. After all, it was so late that a teenager with a group of young and beautiful women was wandering around the street, and anyone who looked at it felt a little suspicious. Several guards patrolling the night originally planned to secretly observe, once Lin Qiu and the others made any moves, they would take it in one fell swoop, until Lin Qiu automatically came to the door 8 times in 30 minutes, and when he asked them for their addresses, he didn't forget to complain that the structure of the steel city was unreasonable.
When Lin Qiu pulled them for the ninth time to ask about a shop that no one had heard of at all, the guards fled as if they had seen a ghost.
They were convinced that the men were simply lost, and they didn't want to spend most of the night helping them find a shabby shop with little future.
"That's good, that's good. After hearing Lin Qiu's angry statement, the old man said twice, he seemed to be a little uneasy, and continued to advise: "However, you can't mention this matter to anyone, once it is discovered, all those involved in this matter will have their lives." Even with the doors closed, our conversation wasn't completely secure, and Prince Dima's eyes were everywhere in the Steel City, so from now on, we had to keep our voices down. ”
The old man cut straight to the point, and the atmosphere in the room became a little solemn.
He bent down and opened the drawer of the wooden table, which was full of miscellaneous items, which he pushed in casually, and after tinkering with the wood for a while, he gently flicked it open a secret door. He took out a packet of white powdery objects in the drawer and stuffed them into Lin Qiu's hand: "Since the village chief sent you, then take it, but please tell the village chief that only a small amount of these powders can make people feel refreshed, don't use too much." ”
The old man said as he looked at Lin Qiu with a look of "I know what you mean".
No, not only did you not understand what we meant, but you also accidentally exposed your unfortunate affair with the village chief.
Lin Qiu returned the medicine powder to the old man, covered his mouth with his hand, and said in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them: "You misunderstood, we are actually the people who were entrusted by the village chief to rescue Zero. ”
After the old man glanced at Lin Qiu in shock, his mouth opened wide in disbelief.
"What, you're here to save Lord Zero!?"
This lion-like voice almost made Lin Qiu roar out of his ears.
"Be quiet, do you want us to be discovered by the guards!" The grumpy Stienne's voice was no weaker than that of the old man, and at the end she picked up her sword and slammed it on the floor to increase her momentum.
The old man replied in a louder voice: "But you suddenly said that you want to rescue Master Zero, I haven't prepared a little in my heart!"
Then, a knock on the door interrupted the two.
"Hello people in the house, I am the police uncle who patrols the night, we heard a suspicious conversation, please open the door immediately and accept the interrogation, thank you for your cooperation. ”
