596. North Street
Aphrodi was a little irritable, and she didn't know where to start, and there was an inexplicable tail behind her.
The hunter's clumsy and crude stalking skills had led Aphrodite to mistakenly think that the hunter was actually a decoy, and that when she couldn't resist her and dispose of him, a horde of magicians would rush out from all directions to capture her.
After a long day of experimentation, Aphrodite finally discovered that the hunter was actually a lone wolf.
Not knowing where she was showing her feet, Aphrodite repeatedly scrutinized her movements over the past few days, and thought that it was probably the hunter who had discovered her identity in the Labyrinth Square.
She spent four days in her room at the inn, and the hunter seemed to be patient, and soon after he moved into the inn, but because he was not a nobleman, he could not live in the north area, so he could only sit on the railing of the courtyard with a glass of water every day, and gossip with the waiters, grooms, and travelers of the inn.
He can mingle with the people in the inn, but he just can't enter the aristocratic quarter......
Aphrodi sat quietly by the window, staring at the street scene in the distance, it was snowing heavily again, this was the second snow she had received since she arrived in the city, and it was obvious that this snow was much heavier than the one she had just arrived in the city, and in just half a day, all the roofs in the city had become silvery white.
Aphrodite couldn't go anywhere, no matter where she was, as long as she quietly looked back into the corner, she would see the lewd figure of the hunter, she remembered Surdak's basic requirements for her trip, so she resisted the urge to make the hunter disappear completely, and simply stayed in the room and did not go anywhere.
The hunter did not take any further action and did not report her whereabouts to the Magic Guild.
……
There weren't many carriages on North Street, and one of the most striking of them all, the ornate magic caravan, always appeared before dusk and then left before dawn, as has been the case in recent days.
The hostess of the ornate magic caravan was a young blonde lady who wore a different gorgeous dress every day, and was cared for by two maids, one of whom carried the long skirt behind her.
She had been sleeping in the townhouse on North Street for the past few days, a handsome young man would wait at the door every day, and the two walked into the townhouse intimately, sometimes they didn't like to draw the curtains at night, Aphrodite could even see the young man's angular abs, the blonde lady's skin as white as milk, and the round bed in the room, which was illuminated by a magic wall lamp.
Aphrodite has always been very envious of the skin color of human women, the succubus is perfect for everything, but the skin is a little gray, not white enough, I heard that enough sleep will make the skin fair, but she tried it, and the effect is not very good.
In addition to waiting for the blonde lady to arrive every day, after the blonde lady left, the young man would do some physical exercise on the terrace of the townhouse every morning, take a bath, eat lunch, take a nap, and enjoy an exquisite afternoon tea on the terrace, and occasionally ask a sword instructor to practice some swordsmanship and spend a boring afternoon.
Hearing that humans like to keep some beautiful birds in cages, Aphrodite thought that this handsome young man was also like those beautiful birds.
These days, she sits on the terrace almost every day, bored looking at the scenery of North Street.
She thought about summoning Surdak to Bednar City again, and asked him to buy an airship ticket back to Highlandsa City, whether the outside world was really too dangerous, or whether it was more comfortable to live in Wall Village, the only thing that gave her a little headache was not knowing what to do with that pesky tail.
Therefore, she was ready to throw this trouble to Surdak.
Of course, sitting on the terrace and watching the streets of Pena City is not too boring.
She always finds something different every day to make her every day seem meaningful.
For example, she found that there was another group with hidden whereabouts, and they had been following the blonde lady for the past few days, running here every afternoon before dinner, and then evacuating one after another, until the next morning.
However, they seem to be very careful, and their excellent tracking methods are almost completely opposite to the Mister Hunter who stalked them.
Aphrodite wasn't sure if she would find out if she would find out if she had such a group of professional hunters following her.
Almost every time they appear, they change their identities, from pedestrians passing by North Street, to street vendors, or coachmen driving magic caravans, drunkards wandering the streets with wine bottles, night watchmen lighting street lamps at night, and cleaners sweeping up garbage before dawn.
If it weren't for the fact that Aphrodite saw people a little differently, she wouldn't have been able to spot these anomalies.
In fact, the way the succubi people distinguish humans does not pay attention to people's faces, they like to look at everyone's eyes, it is said that human eyes are connected to souls, even if they are two twins who look exactly the same, their eyes are very different.
Aphrodite sat on the terrace for four days, and during those four days, she could see these men on North Street in various capacities, and they always targeted the blonde noblewoman, and whenever the blonde noblewoman appeared in the townhouse, the target of all their attention would be the blonde noblewoman.
In the midst of her boredom, Aphrodite began to slowly appreciate the drama, and she was guessing when the group was going to make a move, just as she was guessing when the hunter sitting on the railing of the courtyard of the inn would take further action against her.
……
Aphrodite sat on the couch, chanting magic spells gracefully.
A halo of magic spread through the room, and a void door appeared in the center of the six-pointed star circle.
Surdak came out of it covered in dirt, and this embarrassed appearance startled Aphrodite.
"Why are you so embarrassed?" Aphrodi stood up in her nightgown and looked at Surdak carefully to see that he had no serious injuries, and was relieved.
Surdak was not polite, and took off the 'Earth Shield' demonic pattern armor covered in volcanic ash and threw it on the floor at random.
Explain to Aphrodite: "Hunted a crystallized salamander with Gullitham, and that salamander was slightly stronger than we expected......"
Saying that, Surdak took out his somewhat deformed dwarven chain shield and shook it in front of Aphrodite's eyes, this shield was reclaimed from the guard camp after the 'Moses Blessing Shield' was damaged, and it had become unrecognizable after just participating in a battle, Surdak felt that he needed a stronger magic shield.
He pushed open the bathroom door and walked in.
The rooms in the aristocratic section of this inn are supplied with hot water every day, and the bathtub in the washroom is very nice, Surdak has been in Puswoop Mountain for so long, and he has a battle with the crystallized salamander, and the most important thing he needs at this time is to take a bath.
Aphrodi clasped her hands in front of her chest and said to Surdak in the bathroom through the door, "It's really miserable, it looks like the harvest is not bad?" ”
Surdak began to pour water into the bathtub and said, "It's okay, so far, those salamanders should be worth a lot, I guess this one should be worth more, I'm going to go to the magic market." ”
He sensed that Aphrodite's mood was a little wrong, and turned his head to look at her curiously and asked, "By the way, how have you been doing here lately?" Is Pena City much more prosperous than Hylandza? ”
"To be honest, the last few days haven't been very good, if it weren't for waiting for you, maybe I would have left Bena City." Aphrodi pulled a chair, sat down in the doorway of the bathroom, and began to sell miserably to Surdak.
The hot water slowly poured into the tub, and Surdak turned around and asked in surprise, "What happened?" ”
"I'm being targeted......" Aphrodite pointed to the door helplessly, and said, "Now in the inner court, every time I go out, I will follow behind, like a nasty tail." ”
"You didn't do anything to him, did you?"
Surdak asked, a little worried.
Aphrodite glared at Surdak angrily.
Surdak breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, I'll arrange for you to leave as soon as possible...... Are you sure he's stalking you, though? ”
"You're questioning a succubus's anti-reconnaissance abilities?" Aphrodite glanced at Surdak.
"Well, no...... Not at all. I'll take a shower first, and we'll talk later. ”
Seeing that the bathtub was filled with hot water, Surdak walked to the door of the bathroom, smiled apologetically, and closed the door......
……
Due to the snow that had been falling all day, it was dark early in the city of Pena.
Surdak passed through the corridor of the hotel in light leather armor, and sure enough, he found a witcher sitting on the stone railing of the inner courtyard, he looked disparate, his old leather armor and old quiver showed that he was not doing well, and on the railing was an iron cup, and the hot water in it was slightly steaming.
Snowflakes fell into the inner courtyard, on the roofs of the neat rows of magic caravans, on the bush walls of the garden, on the shoulders of hunters......
The hunter draped an old blanket over his body, with no intention of returning to his room.
Surdak summoned a waiter, gave him a silver coin, and asked him to bring the hunter a bowl of hot soup and a dinner, and the waiter smiled flatteringly and praised Surdak: "Lord Baron, you are a generous man, the down-and-out wanderer has been sitting there for days, and he has been looking at the North End every day, probably expecting a generous nobleman like you to give him a meal!" ”
Surdak smiled, patted the young waiter on the shoulder, and said softly to him, "Go quickly!" Everyone has their own lows in life, and we can't let that make anyone look down on anyone......"
