Chapter 62: Witnessing
Rena now lives in the Black Hat Inn, one of the few clandestine underground trading places in Pornia, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an underground black market, the group believes that the destruction of the world has nothing to do with it, and the members of the inn only want to ensure their own interests.
Among most of the Awakened and Alchemists, there is even a proverb that circulates this:
In a world where death is not the end, don't provoke anyone, especially ...... Woman.
After Jiang Chenchuan left, Rena went back to her residence to tidy up her things, which was not as good as Bridget Manor, and there was no maid to help her clean up, so she had to do it herself.
Fortunately, Rena's biggest advantage is that she doesn't have much of the temper of a noble lady, and with the characteristic of being rich, everyone likes her very much.
After packing up her clothes and accessories, she looked at herself in the mirror and finally chose a light dress to change into.
The stacks of books on the table were covered in elegant handwriting, and Rena flipped through them casually, stopping at the word "creation."
It stands to reason that the Book of Genesis represents the existence of the "Primordial Gods" in Polnia, which is very different from the four righteous gods recognized by the Central Order, so to speak, the Dawnists have the strongest rejection of the World Tree and the Primordial Gods among all believers.
Usually only scholars or alchemists of orthodox academies are interested in the myth of Genesis, and use it as a cornerstone to continue to explore.
Maybe......
Is Ewell a hidden scholar?
"Maybe I'm thinking too much." Rena tilted her head and muttered to herself.
Thinking that Locleon was still waiting for her outside, those hostel members were not very good, they were all smarter than the merchants of the Chamber of Commerce, for fear that Loqueren would be tricked out of the news, or say something wrong, Rena quickly cleaned up casually, opened the door and walked out.
Speaking of which, she'll have to pay a trip to the Heart of the Brave, a group of adventurous adventurers and seafarers who have been in close contact with the Black Hat Inn lately.
The emerald green eyes searched around, but after looking for a long time, they did not see Loquelen, and finally found him in the corner of the reception room.
At this time, Lokren was surrounded by women, Rena panicked and hurriedly walked over, only to find that it was Loqueren talking in the middle, and people could be seen applauding from time to time.
"Huh?"
Rena was a little confused.
When I heard it closer, Lokren was telling them about his newly researched recipe, which seemed to be called ...... "hot and sour shredded potatoes" or something, which was strongly welcomed and loved by the hostel members.
There was another round of applause.
Rena suddenly felt as if her worries were unnecessary.
Silently went around, retrieved the newspaper and goat's milk, and by the way, looked at the intelligence missions released by the hotel recently, and sure enough, most of them were related to transaction information, and there was a letter sent by the housekeeper secretly, which simply wrote some family situations and father's thoughts.
"Father wouldn't have said that."
Rena muttered quietly, and she leaned down at the front desk and briefly replied to a letter describing her current situation, and then sent it out through a special channel.
No sooner had he dealt with these matters than Lockren noticed her, quickly ended the conversation, and rushed over.
"Miss Rena."
"Mr. Loquelen, I need to go out later, do you want to follow me?"
"Of course, in most cases, the client who tracks the entrustment needs protection when they go out."
Rena nodded, acquiesced to Locleon's personal protection, and set off immediately, this time the destination is farther, it stands to reason that you should choose to take the steam tram, but the eldest lady is not short of money, so she chartered a carriage to go.
The Heart of the Brave is one of the indispensable associations of the city of Bornia and one of the three original members of the museum.
Most of the ordinary members are ordinary people who beg for a living in various ports, and there are no particularly strict initiation rituals, but according to the clues in Rena's hands, the core members of the heart of the brave are all awakened.
Don't underestimate this seemingly ordinary association, because of its large number of people and well-informed, it also secretly does a lot of ulterior transactions.
And the place where they are active is the Big Pig's Head Bar on the Cross Street in the Messer district, where the neighborhood is no less prosperous than the city center on King's Street.
It's not early, there are a lot of people on the cross street, the noise is full of ears, people in all kinds of clothes walk on the street, and many strangers who can't find a job will try their luck here.
The door of the big pig's head bar was closed, but the sound of people moving inside could still be faintly heard, presumably the members were having an assembly, Rena knocked on the door and waited outside for a while before someone came out, revealing a crack in the door.
"I'm here to talk about business on behalf of the Black Hat Inn."
"Wait around for a while, our boss hasn't come back since he went out, it's about six o'clock in the evening."
The man said with his head bared.
Rena replied cheerfully.
Lockren watched the bar from a short distance, waiting for Rena to return in the carriage until Rena got back into the carriage.
"How?"
"Wait a while, Mr. Loquelen, please wander around the neighborhood."
The sumptuous carriage drove slowly through the bustling streets, and this was Rena's first time in the Messer district.
This area, like the district of Setvina, was a dirty and backward ghetto in the eyes of the duke's father, and she would not have been able to get close to it if she hadn't run away from home this time.
So along the way, although Rena had to maintain her composure and grace on her face, her smart eyes looked around through the car window.
The more dilapidated and low buildings, and the pedestrians are not so decently dressed, because of the proximity to the sea, even the air has a salty smell of the sea, and these different scenery will change when you get out of the Messer district.
The carriage ran and ran away from the crowd, and suddenly it sped up.
"What's wrong?"
"Someone is really following you, Miss Rena."
"Anyone?"
Rena leaned against the window and looked back, but saw nothing but the bustling crowd.
"Yes, but he hid it well, and I couldn't find him."
Lockren watched intently at the road ahead, keeping an eye on his surroundings.
The carriage drove a long way until there was no one behind it, and then it stepped into a relatively less crowded street.
"Dumped?"
Rena leaned against the window and observed.
"It's always right to be careful......"
Lockren surveyed his surroundings and replied after making sure he was safe.
The whistling of the tram drowned out Loquelen's next words, and Rena leaned against the window, just in time to see the steam tram approaching slowly, slowing down as it prepared to enter the station.
She saw a colorful figure rush to the cab, and from a suitcase, a clown-like puppet came out of it and hugged the driver of the tram, and the man took the opportunity to press something on the car, and then a fiery red light came out, the clown's face showed a terrifying smile, and the passengers banged on the windows and let out heart-rending screams.
Tick –
Tick –

Bang! ——
The tram exploded in the distance, and the light of the burning fire was reflected in the emerald eyes.
