"What's the matter," Rhodes had just touched the money bag in his bag, and he couldn't keep up with the pace of things at all, Morfan used to look like a giggle and laugh casually, why did he suddenly become so cruel, "Is that girl really asking for travel expenses here for a few months?" Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"I don't know. With Pauli's habitual cold snort in the background sound, Morfan wiped his hands and returned to his former lazy appearance: "I'm afraid it's more than a few months...... This kind of person is good at scamming you out of a small amount of money and leaving, but she is afraid that she will take advantage of your money to steal your money bag, or tell your accomplices where you put your money, and let someone else steal it later - don't pity them. Let's put it this way, they make more money every day than I do. ”

"That's right. Rod nodded, learning another lesson.

"Asking people for money on the street...... Never be a decent person. Dieter took the opportunity to promote his set of decent and undignified theories, "Don't continue to delay, go to find a foothold, there are so many people, I'm afraid that the price of the better hotels will increase." ”

There are indeed a lot of people, crowds of people, shoulder to shoulder, and even traffic is almost blocked. There is still half a month to go is the Antaili Kingdom Youth Martial Arts Conference, for the pursuit of glory, wealth and status, this is a great time to realize the ideal, and for the common people, at least they can find some fun from it, get a little cheap, and forget the hardships of survival for the time being.

Contestants, spectators, their families, friends and entourage, as well as a large number of businessmen who were ready to do business with the first two, all kinds of members of society came from all over the world, and the number of temporary residents in Sardenburg skyrocketed...... Combined with the various military departments that defended the capital and maintained order, this city, which was only a quarter of the size of Wenwei City, was stuffed with half of the population of the former, and temporarily became the most densely populated place in the whole continent, and even the peasant homes outside the city walls were full of poor accommodation residents.

Not only Sylna, but also the "guards" basically liked Rod, for a very simple reason: in the light of his entourage, Dieter, who had always been a dime a dime, suddenly became extremely generous, paying off the cost of food and accommodation for everyone in the caravan, which had doubled, and settling them in a good inn - thanks to the cunning boss, it was his timely increase in price at the time of the influx of people that gave Rhodes and his party the opportunity to spend money to sleep in a good bed.

Putting down his things, Rhodes soon approached Ciri again and wanted to go with her to the registration point for the tournament.

Along the way, the two young men fought with each other a few times in their spare time, and the result surprised Ciri: she never thought that her swordsmanship was invincible in the world, but she still couldn't deal with someone younger than herself for the first time, and at first she could rely on subtle and rare tricks to force Rhodes to admit defeat twice, but later she was completely overwhelmed by his powerful and rapid attack blocking, and she was powerless to fight back.

She initially suspected that the humans in this world were so powerful and agile, but after competing with Sylna Morfan and others, she found that this was not the case, so she could only look at Rhodes with admiration and be convinced in her heart - she always thought that it was Grom who saved her and gave the credit to Rhodes, but now she finally believed that Rhodes was her life-saving benefactor, and did not dare to treat this teenager who liked to stare at her scars as an ordinary boy.

"Okay, tell Dieter?"

"No, it's annoying that a bunch of people follow me all day long. Rod shook his head, his eyes rolling: "Later, we will each jump from the back window of the room and meet in the backyard." ”

"Not so well. Although he didn't think he would be in danger in this city, Ciri really didn't want to cause trouble for Dieter, and as an outsider, he was suspected of being ignorant and running around with the aristocratic son who was being guarded by other people's families.

"It's okay, just say it's my idea. ”

"Okay, I'll see you later. The girl is not a squirming character, and after thinking about it, she is not afraid of any small trouble with her and Rod's skills, so she agreed: "But when I came back, I also came in through the window, and I don't want to be annoyed by Dieter." ”

"Good. ”

The two of them pretended to rest in their room, closed the door, got out of the back window, climbed over the back wall of the hotel, easily escaped from everyone's sight, and slipped out into the street together.

"Let's take a stroll around the street and ask where the registration point for the tournament is. ”

"Hmm!"

＊＊＊

Nicol was a little lucky: fortunately, he sent someone to keep an eye on the inn from several directions, otherwise the target would have sneaked out and wandered around. He easily followed the target, and at this time, the well-trained guards around the other party were not there, and the great swordsman who was not leaving was also thrown off, and the two young men with swords on their backs, a man and a woman, were both eye-catching and unaware of anti-tracking...... You can follow it with a big grin.

The subject and the girl with the scar on her face left the back wall of the inn and walked together towards the streets and squares full of people and stalls. Although the tournament was still some time away, the city was already in the mood for a festivities, and the spy leader cautiously followed the two young men. It's rare that the strong man named Grom is not there, he decided to get closer to the target, intelligence is everything for his profession, and to obtain information, it is undoubtedly the easiest and most effective way to prick up his ears and listen.

The target and the girl were looking at the goods from all over the continent at the roadside stalls, handicrafts carved from various materials such as colorful hats and ivory, and embroidery decorations...... They browsed through the items without buying a single one—it was easy to understand that the things on the stalls were too cheap and low-grade for the target.

Nicol cautiously approached them, pretending to pick at the stall behind them as well, finally getting close enough distance to hear their light-hearted conversation.

They walked side by side along the road, sometimes loudly commenting on the goods on the stalls, sometimes whispering to each other, just holding hands like a young couple. When passing by a stall, the boy bought three strings of marshmallows, gave one to the girl, and gave a string to a little girl who was staring at the stall greedily on the side, and bit it himself a few times, and then bit the little white fox with his head poking out of his waist bag. The soft sugar wadding stuck to their lips, and they looked at each other and laughed again, looking unusually happy and happy.

It's good to be young. Nicol thought to himself, and although he didn't get any valuable information, he didn't feel agitated. Patience is a valuable quality for the spy profession - and as always, his perseverance has paid off. The target patronized almost every stall in the square, and taught a little hooligan who touched the girl's ass in public, and finally left the square satisfied, and began to ask passers-by for directions. He pricked up his ears not far away and heard a few key words.

Tournament, registration office.

Target: Want to participate in Antelli's jousting tournament?

A useful piece of information, Nicol silently jotted down, not excited...... In fact, he did not know whether this information was valuable, and he did not even understand the purpose of His Royal Highness in allowing himself to follow this target, and that it would be unwise to make any unfriendly action against Midland at such a juncture, let alone to keep an eye on the son of the commander of the Imperial army.

Maybe it's because you don't have a long-term vision enough and don't see the hidden value of your goals?

The target asked for directions, headed for a specific destination, and under the guidance of passers-by, found the registration point for the martial arts competition, signed up together, and walked in another direction, obviously not having enough fun.

They entered a high-end clothing and accessories store again, but Nicol didn't follow up, gesturing his men to watch the back door and wait outside.
