In the streets at noon, the sun is getting a little hot, the air is clean, and the shadows of every pedestrian are clearly defined by the strong sunlight. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe coverage of stone pavement in Eaton City is very high, and most of the street pavement is paved with stone piles, which are about one meter long and are driven deep into the roadbed, which will not be damaged for thousands of years. The city's wealth is also evident in its sturdy, dust-free streets, a commercial city on the main transportation route that served as an important gateway to the empire's capital, bringing together caravans from all over the continent, and even some exotic merchants from across the Infinity Sea.

Colin was walking down the streets of Pascia at the moment, and the unlucky man named Mele should still be sitting at the tavern bar in a daze, and if he was lucky, he might be woken up by a basin of cold water, but if he was unlucky and no one woke him up, he would probably go crazy in a short time.

Pasia Street is one of the main east-west arteries of Eton City, and the name of Pasia comes from the ancient kingdom of the north, which once dominated the north with its powerful cavalry and archery troops, and the southern countries could only be slightly blocked by the moats of mountains and rivers. Bartomir chose the name of the street when he came to Eton, presumably with the goal of establishing a strong force comparable to that of the ancient northern kingdom.

This main east-west thoroughfare, which connects the Municipal Square in the west of the city with the Trade Union Square in the east of the city, is lined with shops, a number of mainland chain stores operated by large chambers of commerce, and the banking district on the west side of the street has the headquarters of many banks. Most of the trading in Eton took place on this street, and there was even a folk joke: "If one day the lord of Eton has no money, it would be nice to pick up all the stone stakes on Pasia Street, because the crevices are filled with gold coins that have accidentally fallen in." ”

Colin walked east along the street, and old Jimmy's tavern was on the edge of Union Square, and he stayed out for the night, or he should return to the tavern as soon as possible to settle down, and change his clothes.

......

Muller was still sitting on a high chair by the bar, his eyes glazed over. The door to the tavern was gently pushed open, and a beautiful exotic woman entered. Such a hot stunner really stimulated the drunkards in the tavern, and whistles rang out.

Unimpressed, your veil walked straight to the bar, sat down a little across from Meller, and ordered a glass of wine.

"It seems to be a fantasy technique, it seems that this traveling scholar is really not a big deal. Your was a little annoyed, underestimating his opponent's abilities. Fortunately, the other party just trapped this unlucky ghost, and if the other party used the inducement technique, he might be exposed. Thinking that many of his preparations and plans had almost been in vain, and that he had been so fooled by his opponent, your was furious.

"Bang!" the female assassin slammed her glass, dropping a few coins and walking out of the tavern, leaving the stunned guests staring at each other.

......

Colin didn't walk long, and as soon as he reached the corner of Pascia Avenue in Union Square, he saw old Jimmy waving to him at the tavern door in the distance. Old Jimmy, who usually entertains guests with a smile on his face, looked worried at the moment, and as soon as Colin entered the store, he grabbed his sleeve and dragged him into the back kitchen, all the way to the warehouse, and Old Jimmy closed the door before letting go.

"Colin, I seem to have some news about what you're guessing about. Old Jimmy lowered his voice.

Colin's nerves, which were originally a little relaxed, suddenly tensed, and he hurriedly said, "What's the news?"

"I overheard a thug in the casino yesterday afternoon saying that a woman had just hired his group of thieves and was going to use a knife. Old Jimmy continued, "You know, I'm a bit of a guy on the black market. As soon as I left the casino, I didn't dare to delay, and quickly asked the informant, it seems that there is indeed such a woman, very similar to the kind you described, who has frequently run to the black market sewers in the past few days. Do you think she's trying to hire this group of people to assassinate the lord? ”

Colin shook his head and said, "It's impossible for these fools to assassinate Bartomir, do you think that a man who has been in battle for so long will raise a pack of wolves that can threaten him under his nose?" I speculate that someone is eyeing these caravans that are backlogged in the city, trying to buy murderous goods. ”

Colin thought for a moment and said, "However, this news should indeed be communicated to the lord as soon as possible. Without further ado, let's go for the two of us. ”

Old Jimmy hurriedly shook his head and said, "I won't go, I went to the casino yesterday afternoon to have a short time to entertain these stupid guys and counted the wrong account, and I'm afraid I'll lose the whole store if I go out today." Go yourself!"

Colin naturally knew how much old Jimmy was afraid of this lord, in the early years, when old Jimmy was a homeless man, he didn't eat Bartomir's whip because he was idle, even if he opened a shop later, Bartomir also became his old customer, every time he saw this sturdy lord, old Jimmy would still fight with his legs, and he hid in the back kitchen several times and refused to come out. It was only in the last two years that Bartomir had become old and his majesty had diminished, and he had dispelled some of his fears.

"Okay, okay, I'll go by myself, how old are you and so cowardly. Colin shook his head helplessly, opened the door and walked out.

Arriving at the tavern door, Colin thought for a moment and walked to the coachman who was waiting for his guests at the other end of the square. There are many similar coachmen in Eton, driving carriages from guilds to wait for customers who need to hurry up or some merchants who have traveled from other places in the main squares or streets. Guests who need to take a horse-drawn carriage must first tell the drivers where they are going, and then after some negotiation and agreement, they can get on the bus and pay the fare when they arrive at their destination. The coachman had to pay a rent to the guild once a month, and if he couldn't, he would be taken back from the carriage and kicked out of the guild.

Colin decided to take a carriage ride to the Lord's Palace: the situation was urgent, and it was not a luxury to spend a little more fare. After a brief bargain with the coachman, Colin entered the carriage and closed the curtain. The coachman on the roof waved the reins, and the carriage began to move rapidly westward.

......

The streets of Pasia are bustling with people, and horse-drawn carriages run back and forth in the middle of the avenues. Your carriage was among them, and sitting across from her was a little ruffian with a dead face.

Garcia was inexplicably tied up by a group of masked men who broke into the shack this morning, covered his head, and brought to the masked woman. This woman is not a good stubble, and when she came up, she put a sharp knife against her crotch, threatening herself to tell who the old man who came to her last night to inquire about the movement of the sewer thieves.

Garcia was a thug, and when he saw the battle, he peed his pants and told him all about the movements of the thieves group. It turned out to be like this: the woman asked him to introduce her to Old Jimmy, saying that she wanted to buy a batch of Old Jimmy's special cuvée.

The carriage drove quickly, and soon reached the door of Old Jimmy's tavern. Two people got out of the car, one was naturally Garcia, a little ruffian, and the other was a masked exotic woman with glittering gold ornaments.

When he heard that a carriage had stopped at the door, old Jimmy hurried out to greet the distinguished guest, but when he arrived at the door, there was no distinguished guest!

"What the hell are you doing with Garcia, how do you have the money to ride in a carriage?" said old Jimmy, who had been a little nervous since yesterday, angrily.

"Of course it's not the car I called!Old Jimmy, I've got you a real guest!" Garcia gave way and began to introduce the exotic woman standing beside her. "This is Madame Ulsica, who approached me and asked me to bring her to buy a batch of your cuvée. ”

"Hello Mr. Jimmy, I'm Ursica, a merchant from the other side of the Endless Sea. Ten years ago, when my father was staying in Eton City, I tasted your cuvée, and I never forgot it. The woman stepped forward and greeted me with exotic etiquette, "This time I came to supply on behalf of my father, passing by Eton City, and I specially asked this little brother to guide me to you to buy a batch of special brews and go back to my father as a gift." I also hope that Mr. Jimmy can sell it without hesitation, and the price is negotiable. ”

Old Jimmy's face was full of confusion when he heard this, and he pulled Garcia into the store.

"Where did you meet this woman?" asked old Jimmy in a low voice.

"That's it...... It's on the black market, and she's there to ask about the special brew, and I'll talk to her, and then ...... And then that's it. Garcia didn't know if it was nervousness or how he stammered.

"You kid aren't telling the truth!" Old Jimmy grabbed Garcia by the collar, and even though Garcia was taller than him, he staggered.

"Mr. Jimmy, don't doubt it, I really want to ask for it to surprise my father. The masked woman had already entered the tavern and bowed again as she spoke.

Now it was Jimmy's turn to be embarrassed, and the customers in the store were looking at the three of them, like watching a monkey show.

"It's okay to be frozen like this, just sell her some. Garcia said weakly.

"That's it, how much do you want, what price do you pay. Old Jimmy was a little displeased, but reluctantly agreed.

"It's not convenient to talk here, why don't you take me to the cellar to talk about the price first, and then look at your stock here, and I can arrange for someone to pick it up tomorrow?" the woman suggested.

Old Jimmy looked at the guests who were still watching the play around him, and hurriedly put on a smile, "Everyone continue to enjoy, disturbed~"

His face changed and he said to Garcia, "Take your 'distinguished guest' with me!"

The three of them left the tavern and limped into the side alley, which led to the cellar.

The alley was a little cramped, but fortunately the entrance to the cellar was not far away, and old Jimmy unlocked it, and the three of them entered the cellar filled with the sweet smell.

"I can't sell you too much, the next batch of wine is estimated to arrive in the next quarter, and I don't have to do my business during this time if I sell all of you. Old Jimmy was still a little worried, perhaps the woman was a spy from the taverns west of the city that were worried about his special brew. As he spoke, he turned around, but old Jimmy only saw Garcia.

"Eh, where's your guest?" asked old Jimmy hurriedly.

Garcia was also pulled back from the smell of wine by this question, and searched everywhere, but found no trace of the woman.

"Of course it will be for you, Mr. Jimmy. A voice rang out from the darkness.

――

"All of them will stay here!"
