597. Snowy Night
Surdak didn't have any special idea of sending a dinner, he just wanted to express his admiration for the hunter who was crouching in the snow and guarding Aphrodite: 'You are so brave'.
And the next thing he had to do was to take Aphrodite and leave the hotel while it was snowing.
The room they rented was right on the street, and the two of them could quickly leave the area by jumping off the terrace and riding a magic caravan while no one was looking.
Surdak was a nobleman of the Grimm Empire, and no inn in Bednar could refuse to accept a nobleman, and it was easy for him to find a new one.
Pushing open the door, I just saw Aphrodite standing on the terrace with a scarf, her posture was a little special, plump buttocks. The part is a little high, and the whole body is hidden behind the fence, like a female leopard crouching in a tree and staring at her prey in the grass.
As he was about to leave the place, Surdak didn't understand why Aphrodite still liked to see the street scene of North Street so much, so he leaned over curiously and followed Aphrodite's posture to look down the street.
The streets were already covered with a thick layer of snow, snowflakes were falling from the sky, the ruts on the streets had been covered with a layer of fresh snow, and a splendid magic caravan was parked in front of the townhouse, and the handsome young man, dressed in a thin breeches and meticulously combed hair, stood in the doorway facing the wind and snow.
The door of the magic caravan was opened by the coachman, and from inside jumped a maid, who stood beside the carriage and helped the blonde lady out of the magic caravan.
It had snowed so hard that the blonde lady still had all her shoulders exposed in her evening gown, and she hugged the young man who walked up to her with a glass beast's scarf around her neck, and then the blonde lady took the young man's arm and walked into the room, and the two maids followed with long skirts, and the coachman parked the magic caravan on the side of the road......
Even if he didn't look at the face, he knew that the lady was Lady Dorothy, Lady Annabella's best friend, with whom Surdak had played cards on the magic airship, and that Surdak lived here, and had seen Lady Dorothy walk into the attic with the young man on several occasions.
He wasn't surprised to see Lady Dorothy appear here again in a magic caravan to date her lover.
He just didn't understand why Aphrodite was so interested and acted so exaggeratedly, hiding her whole body behind the fence of the terrace.
So he whispered to Aphrodite, "Hey, what are you looking at?" ”
……
Snowy night, North Street, on the sidewalk
Two night watchmen were about to light a street lamp, such a heavy snow, a fried fish stall at the intersection had not yet closed, there were still people standing at the corner of the street against the heavy snow, waiting to buy fried fish, the smell of fried food could not be concealed even if it was heavy snow, drifting far along the north street.
Aphrodite had wanted to get ready, wait for Surdak to return from outside, and leave the hotel on a snowy night.
But as soon as she walked to the terrace, she saw a magic caravan parked on the side of the road on North Street, which was completely dark and did not have a family crest, originally she wanted to see which magic caravan on the side of the street could be rented, and then she rented a magic caravan with Surdak and left here, but when she glanced at the coachman of the magic caravan from a distance, there was a familiar feeling.
It wasn't that there was anything unusual about the coachman, who was dressed in a rustic suede coat, but at the sight of his eyes, Aphrodite remembered at once—he was clearly one of the hunters who were hiding around North Street, and this time he played a coachman, and there was a hint of ferocity in his eyes.
Aphrodite had wanted to climb over the terrace and quietly leave North Street......
Seeing this, she quietly crouched behind the railing of the terrace and looked around, under the control of her strong curiosity.
1,2,3…… She counted the number of hidden hunters one by one, and found that the group of hidden hunters was actually all present tonight, such a heavy snow, and at night, there were no other pedestrians on the street at all, and the eyes of these people were fierce, a little excited, which made her feel that tonight was likely to be a little different.
Surdak approached from the side and asked her what she was looking at, and Aphrodite did not hesitate to tell Surdak what she had observed in the past few days.
……
"You mean this group wants to kidnap Lady Dorothy?"
Surdak looked at Aphrodite with some dumbfoundedness.
The succubus probably didn't know Lady Dorothy's last name, which had the suffix 'Newman', which was the royal equivalent of the entire province of Pena.
In the province of Pena, the Grand Duke of Newman said more words than His Majesty Charles, the Emperor of the Green Empire.
Which force can't think of it like this, and actually wants to do something to Lady Dorothy!
"Do you know the ......?" She asked in a whisper as she pointed to the room where the thick curtains had been drawn.
"I played cards with her on a magic airship." Surdak honestly admitted
"Is it just playing cards?" Aphrodite smiled a little ambiguously. Dark.
Surdak gave her a stern look.
Aphrodite immediately changed her tone and said, "Then are you friends or not?" She seems to be in danger tonight, should you warn her? ”
Surdak looked outside again, and everything was normal on the street.
He didn't have the eyes of a succubus that could see through the night, and he could see the facial expressions of pedestrians on the street from such a distance.
Surdak hesitated for a moment before he said: "I don't know her very well, let's observe it again, you said that this group of people lurking in this area, could it be a ...... specifically responsible for protecting her?"
Aphrodite raised her eyebrows, and immediately expressed her dissatisfaction: "You are questioning a succubus's perception of danger!" ”
There was already a thick layer of snow on the terrace, and it was a little cold, and she let out a cloud of white air from her mouth.
Watching Surdak look intently at North Street, Aphrodite paused before saying, "Actually...... I'm also curious to know what they're trying to do after all this time of preparation. ”
With that, she quietly leaned towards Surdak's side.
In the lit room of the townhouse, the golden oak was burning in the fireplace, and the room was not only warm, but also exuded a unique aroma of acorns, and Lady Dorothy and the handsome young man lay on the fur of an earth bear, and they both held goblets full of golden cider, and the handsome young man listened quietly to Mrs. Dorothy's anecdotes in the House of Representatives.
On Snow Street, a group of hidden hunters surrounded the townhouse, waiting for the perfect moment.
Unbeknownst to them, on a terrace of the hotel opposite, Surdak and Aphrodite were squatting behind the fence, watching all this curiously.
……
Kargle. Coward gobbled down a meatloaf into his stomach and carefully sucked the grease from each finger.
He took out a rotten handkerchief, wiped his mouth meticulously, and poured a pot of hot broth into his stomach, which immediately satisfied his empty stomach.
The pie was delicious, and he knew who had given it, and though the waiter said it was a baron, he was not a fool and did not think that anyone would invite him to a dinner with meat for no reason.
He thought that the dark mage must have noticed about him, and that the meatloaf must have been sent by the black mage, probably to warn him not to meddle.
He wasn't a witcher who flinched easily at the slightest threat, and since he had been discovered by the other party, it was still quite dangerous for such a dark mage who was already on guard, so he decided to go to the guard camp immediately to report the news.
