Chapter Seventy-One: The Silent Town
The half-elves in this town are all familiar with each other, and some people comfort the couple, saying that there is no danger here in Silent Town, and there is no need to worry about the safety of the little girl.
Loki also followed the crowd, and next to him was little Adrian.
Although this young militia lost a little ugly, he had a good personality, and he had some admiration in his heart for this outsider who was about his own age, and he had nothing to say about him.
"I really hope that the little girl will come home soon, otherwise it will not be time for dinner, and I will not have such a naughty time. ”
"By the way, Loki, they don't have a last name just like you, why don't they give themselves a last name?"
Loki nodded, and from the information just fed back, he knew that the young couple's names were Agernon and Pamela, respectively, and they didn't have those strange surnames.
There's nothing surprising about that.
In fact, in Loki's opinion, it is strange that half-elves with surnames are strange, this world is not easy to survive, and even some of the poor humans in Fog Castle City do not have surnames.
It is generally an aristocracy or an upper-class person with status, or a commoner family with some heritage or a little education.
Only these people will always maintain the inheritance of their surnames for the sake of tradition or for any reason, otherwise some poor people who live in difficulty, who have the leisure to care about the length of their names? Is there a suffix surname?
Back near the center of Silent Town, Barney Longbow Sr. wants to invite Loki to the Cask Tavern for dinner and a couple of drinks.
Loki didn't have time to dodge him, how could he agree to the request of an old man with mental problems?
Under the insistence of the half-elf boy, the trainer finally let him leave in disappointment, but he must appear on the training ground south of Silent Town tomorrow afternoon, he still has a lot of martial arts to exchange.
"Wait for tomorrow? Tomorrow you may not know who I am. ”
Loki shook his head, he decided he wouldn't go to the driving range again.
Not only is it a waste of time, but it also does not help you improve your own strength.
......
Dinner was prepared for him by SAINT ANGELO, with a fragrant lamb chops, fluffy white bread, and a large bowl of fish broth.
It is said that this delicious river fish is caught from the upper reaches of the southern stream and is absolutely fresh and delicious.
Loki paid five coppers for this, and the food was very cheap, and the money he seized from the thief Jarvis was enough to make him live comfortably here for a year and a half.
Back in his room on the third floor of the hotel, Loki immediately sensed that something was wrong, and someone else had pulled his door.
He deliberately left a mark on the door, and he glued two hairs to the door shaft and the keyhole of the door, and the dark blonde hair on the doorshaft had fallen off, and the keyhole was the same.
Loki pulled out the tactical claw knife he carried with him, and even the short-armed crossbow under his robe was taken out by him, and he set the crossbow string softly, and then carefully used the key to open the door.
His left arm was raised in front of his shoulder, his backhand was holding the tactical claw, and his right hand was aimed at his crossbow and set up in his left arm.
The degree of caution in that action is quite a bit of a police gun and lightning synchronization.
There were no windows in the room, and it was getting dark outside, but Loki was unaffected.
With his low-light vision, everything in the room has a clear green outline.
He scanned the surroundings, carefully comparing the placement of all the items to see if they differed from the image in memory of the morning when he left.
Strangely, however, there was no sign of any of the objects in the room being turned, or rather, no one had entered the room at all, except for himself.
Loki was a little strange, and finally, he put down the weapon he had been holding for a long time, took the candlestick from the table in front of the window, and lit the candle.
Then he took out a small money bag from his bosom and poured out all the coins inside, which was a relic of the thief Justin, who had not lacked any money since Loki met the thief.
He put the coins aside, and Justin's money bag, made of thick deer velvet weaving, was produced in the broad-leaved forest areas of the Austro-German Empire, and was not available to ordinary people.
The high-grade thick deer velvet fabric, swept away by the flame of the candle, burned into a fine pile of black ash, almost as dust.
Loki walked to the door and gently blew the thin black ash around the doorknob, and immediately a bunch of small palms left marks appeared near the doorknob.
The handprint was apparently left by a child, dirty and sweaty.
Comprehensive analysis, it should be a child who pulled the door a few times and found that it was locked, and then found something to tinker with the door lock, and finally the door was not opened, but it was easy to leave traces.
Wouldn't it be some naughty kid who came to this neighborhood to hide and seek?
Loki frowned, but didn't think about it anymore.
He went back to his room and closed the door, blowing out the candle's only source of light.
In this dark space, he moved his body slightly, and then took out the familiar sharp claw knife.
Holding the short blade with his backhand in each hand, the half-elf boy practiced a series of movements that the intermediate dagger mastered to master.
His swift footsteps didn't make a sound, making it easier to hide the tactical claw knife in the dark, and the claw knife attack was quick and accurate.
There is only the faint sound of air rubbing, which will make people in the dark shudder.
Rocky agrees with this statement, although he faced the same opponent as a live target during the day, but after a few competitions and drills, his capoeira (Brazilian war dance) became 65% perfect, and the small area increased by about 3%.
Intermediate dagger mastery is a skill he relies on to survive, and it also makes Loki pay more attention.
The good news is that the dagger specialization has been combined with some of the Brazilian Wardance's dodging dexterity moves, making him feel that the Tactical Claw is a little more agile than before.
In addition, because of the actual combat battle with Old Barney during the day, those two explosive power and accurate fusion claw knife killing moves can be said to be something he couldn't do before, and the intermediate dagger specialization that was played at the super level at that time has also increased by 2.1%, becoming a 50.7% proficiency perfection.
Even the intermediate dagger mastery, some of the simpler dagger basic movements, he can complete the standard, and is not even inferior to the female dwarf Olivia.
On the floor of the room, a puddle of sweat was gradually printed.
His movements finally stopped, and his rapid breath gradually subsided.
In more than an hour of practice, he only rested less than twice, which was not suitable for a developing half-elf teenager to increase the amount of exercise.
......
I don't know when, as it got dark, the town fell completely silent, and there was not even the slightest sound.
Loki gently pushed open the wooden window, and except for a little moonlight from the dark night sky, the silence turned dark, as if it had been subsumed into the silent night.
For this group of small-town residents suffering from 'collective amnesia', Loki always had some doubts in his heart.
And the Discipline Officer in Silent Town, Barney Sr.'s severe psychotic paranoia only adds to Loki's thoughts, and he plans to go out at night.
The half-elf boy quietly changed his clothes, and for the sake of caution, he also carried all the weapons he had with him.
After checking a little that there were no problems, I left the room.
Then, his whole body quietly disappeared into the darkness.
