"This is your letter." The tavern owner took a letter from his counter and handed it to Agnes.

"Okay, thank you, sir." Agnes nodded at the boss, smiled, glanced at the lily-of-the-valley lacquer on the seal of the letter, picked up the wine glass that the boss had just put on the counter, and then dropped two one-soule bills, "Please prepare another fried anchovies, a boiled octopus whiskers, and two fried moray eel croissants." ”

"Okay." The boss nodded at Agnes.

Agnes turned around in satisfaction and looked at the entire store. The whispered laughter of the people mixed together, giving the whole tavern a kind of "buzzing" background sound, and there were only a few people standing in the aisle, but because the tavern was small, it was a little difficult to get to your destination.

"Excuse me." Agnes said to the man in front of her.

The man in front turned his head, and Agnes couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, she remembered the man clearly.

It was a medium-sized, seemingly less than 1.75 meters tall, with a yellowish complexion and a bit of a tan-like feeling, with a softer silhouette, but with deep-set eye sockets, and a distinctly human ancestry from the highlands of the northern region of Fenerport.

The last time I saw this man, he was leaving the hotel with the human refining products with an obvious sense of incongruity on his body, and it is estimated that there is a lot of possibility that he has some connection with the Mother Earth God Church.

Agnes swept around without a trace, not seeing anyone with a palpable sense of incongruity.

"Ah, I'm sorry." The man ducked to the side, a little apologetic.

Agnes smiled and nodded to the man, then walked straight to the corner table and sat down.

Lani withdrew her gaze from the people in the tavern and looked at Agnes.

"This tavern is...... Many of the guests are Fenerporters. Lani said to Agnes.

Agnes knew that Lani was actually trying to say that this was Fenerport's point of contact.

"Of course," she nodded, a slight smile, "that's normal, isn't it?" Although this side belongs to the kingdom of Rune and is under the influence of the Church of the Storm Lord, people from the same place always like to get together, don't they? ”

"That's true." Lani nodded, not saying anything more.

"You can taste them," Agnes said as she reached for the wooden plate she had just placed on the table containing the tender red and white meat garnished with a hint of chili powder, "I heard that this tavern tastes good. ”

"It's not the same," Lani said, casually picking up a small fork on the table and taking a bite, "not quite like the locals do with octopuses." ”

"Brings some of Fenerport's features." Agnes smiled, tore her share of the croissant with her hand, and said softly, "And Olavi Island, like the Rorsted Islands, is a colony of Rune. ”

Lani was silent for a moment, then lowered her head and tore her croissant as Agnes had done.

"It doesn't matter to me whose colony this is," Lani whispered, taking a bite of the croissant, "It doesn't make a difference whether it's a Rune or a rebel. ”

Lani paused for a moment before suddenly saying, "Although my mother used to miss her relatives, I know that she was actually sold to the Red Theater by her parents, and I went to find her. ”

"They look numb and emaciated, no different from the other locals on the street, worshipping the god of the sea," Lani whispered, "I watched them for a short time, watching them sell their last daughters and die in the purge of the Heretics by the Church of the Lord of the Storm." ”

"And do you think they're hateful?" Agnes asked softly.

Lani shook her head slowly with a blank look in her eyes.

"I don't know," she said in a very soft voice, "I wanted to kill them when I first found out what they were doing, but suddenly I felt that my mother wouldn't be happy for me to do it, so I just watched them." ”

"Sounds like there's still a 'then'?" Agnes nodded.

"Yes, I later found out that they didn't love their daughter," Lani said, slowly lowering her head, "and they and others even thought it would be a good thing for them and their daughter to sell their daughter. ”

"It's normal," said Agnes in an almost nonchalant tone, "no matter where, for most people, it's always necessary to live before thinking about anything else. ”

"Just like them?" Lani asked, looking up at Agnes tightly.

Agnes nodded slowly at Lani's gaze.

Lani fell silent, lowered her head, and earnestly ate the croissant that had been torn in her hand at some point.

......

"Ma'am!" A slightly gentle man's voice sounded behind Agnes, and Agnes frowned, seeing Lani beside her, she subconsciously put her hand on the pouch of the gun on her waist and turned to look behind her.

It was the man in the store before, Agnes raised her eyebrows slightly, reached out and patted Lani, and stood quietly in place, without speaking.

"Hello, ma'am, Okfar Connorcris...... "The man said with a smile as he walked briskly over to Agnes.

"The sequence of 'cultivators' who came to the sea?" Agnes glanced the man up and down, raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked, "You don't feel like a person from the Mother Earth God Church." ”

Okfa couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face, and he nodded clearly, "Yes." ”

"What's the matter with you?" Agnes asked in a calm tone.

Okfar's face was a little hesitant, and then he took a deep breath in Agnes' gaze and said, "Stitch told me if I wanted to ask for help......"

"Stitch?" Agnes couldn't help but frown, and subconsciously repeated the name.

Okfa's words stopped as Agnes spoke, looking a little embarrassed, as if she didn't know whether she should continue or not.

"You want help from me?" Agnes looked up and looked at Okfa calmly, "Is it for yourself, or for some other reason?" ”

Okfa had a little embarrassment on his face, and he didn't say the answer immediately.

"You go back first." Agnes turned her head to look at Lani, who was standing quietly on the sidelines, "I'll be back later." ”

Lani glanced at Okfar, nodded at Agnes, and turned to leave.

"We may need to find a quieter place to talk." Agnes looked at the look on Okfar's face and spoke.
