Chapter 882: Infiltration
Ezio thought he could fit in, and he did. No amount of exertion, or hunger, made him want to go back to that home.
In addition to going to every house in the early morning to carry night incense and then helping to do laundry, sometimes I also receive the job of delivering messages. But it's basically inconsequential personal messages, such as who called who home for dinner, and we won't see each other tonight.
For several days, Ezio became the hardest working among the children. Naturally, the speech also carries some weight.
As for the simple reason, the other children are malnourished and dying. Even if the little fat man is hungry for a few days, the foundation left before is still there. He is the one with the most strength and flexibility in this group of children.
Therefore, Ezio used to lead Kish and the three little demon cats to turn a family upside down, and the temperament of the demon king of the mixed world gradually awakened in this group of children. But he still can't take care of this group of children for a long time, the eldest child - Rowan. But there is no contradiction between the two, at most, most of the children will still be based on Rowan's orders.
But another thought shook his determination not to return to that home.
Not to mention that they are always hungry, the same is true for other children, especially since they are more or less sick. Especially on the first night, the girl who gave herself a small piece of black bread, Lucy, was in even worse health.
Of course, Ezio didn't know how to see and heal, but that didn't stop him from understanding that the girl's health was bad, as if she was going to die at any moment. Even though he was just a child, in that magician's house, he also understood what death was all about.
It's just that Ezio doesn't care about the death of most people. The only thing he cared about was the aging black dragon; Now there's one more person. As for that nasty magician, it's better to die sooner.
This night, another person couldn't sleep well, holding his stomach and making a humming sound. These children learned not to cry a long time ago. But when it was uncomfortable, everyone couldn't help but moan.
Feeling hungry, Ezio got up and crawled to Lucy's eldest brother, Willy. Patted it lightly and looked outward. The latter willingly followed.
"Ezio, what can't you talk about inside?" Willie asked.
"I know there's a place where there's food. Why, will you come with me to get it? Ezio asked.
As soon as the food was mentioned, several voices came from the side, asking, "Where?" Where is it? Where's the food? ”
Willie, on the other hand, did not have the same eyes as his companions, when he heard what he was eating. Looking at the hesitant companion, Ezio did not rush to deal with the others, but continued to persuade: "There is fluffy white bread there, and there are many delicious things. I think if that's the stuff, Lucy will like it too, eat a little more. How, do you want to go? ”
Speaking of his sister, Willy's attitude became less insistent. But he asked worriedly, "Are you going to steal food?" ”
Ezio patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, the people who live there are stupid and lazy, and no one will find out about us." ”
It can only be said that the children's minds are not so complicated, and under the instigation of Ezio, coupled with the reality of hunger, several children, including Willy, are willing to go with Ezio. Someone just asked, "Do you want to talk to Rowan?" ”
Ezio frowned and said, "No. When we get what we eat, we'll give it to him. If we contribute, what will he say? ”
Everyone made up their minds, and it was possible that they were hungry and crazy, and no one had a problem with following Ezio. A group of children just took advantage of the moonlight and trotted through the dimly lit streets.
Most children are familiar with this path for some time, so they don't need much light and they know where to go. As for Ezio, he was just in that house full of traps, and was used to running in all kinds of situations. Sometimes it's chasing cats, sometimes it's hiding people, sometimes it's both.
Although Ezio had been active before, he rarely left that home. This time he will go to the lower street, and the place of the group of children is just an accident, but it does not mean that he has forgotten the way back. Even though he had been going around and around before, in the dark night, relying on the moonlight, he still found the shortest path home.
Under the moonlight, the building that had been added many times seemed so silent. There was no light coming out of the window, indicating that the people in the house had already slept peacefully...... This is the perception of the general public. Ezio knew, however, that it was nothing more than a light that had been adjusted, limited to a certain range. You can't see anything from the outside.
The wall that encloses the courtyard is not the original stone wall, but a whole row of dwarf trees specially planted by Harumi to replace the original wall. Don't assume that plants aren't threatening. That strange sister, the flowers and plants she grows are all fed to meat.
But somewhere near the wall, there are cat holes where the demon cats come in and out. This was dug up by the demon cats themselves, not intentionally, so the group of people should not know about the existence of this entrance.
Leading the other friends through the cat hole, Ezio ran to the kitchen. As long as the magician's supper time has passed, no one will be in the kitchen. And in order to deal with the magician who has an abnormal schedule, there will be prepared food in the kitchen, which can be eaten at any time. That's what Ezio wanted to take.
The kitchen was originally separated from the main building because it used fire. Later, a magician moved in, and he didn't bother to change the layout. This was good news for Ezio and the other children. At least they didn't have to bother to get into the mansion and risk being bumped into by the night watchmen to find any place where there was food.
The wooden doorknob of the kitchen door is a bit high for the children, and it is also deliberately done to prevent a few little ghosts from breaking in. After all, it is a place where fire is used, and it is dangerous for children who do not know whether they are alive or dead.
But this height is not a big problem for a group of children. Perhaps it was the people who came with Ezio who were accustomed to stealing chickens and dogs, so that some of them crouched down and some straddled the shoulders and necks of the squatting people without waiting for orders. In the manner of the Arhat, open the kitchen door.
The fire on the stove has been extinguished, but it does not prevent a group of hungry little devils from looking for something to eat. Ezio didn't let the others rummage around. He didn't leave any traces, but before he came, he made an agreement with the others.
The children also agreed, no matter what, it was good for themselves not to attract the attention of others. In this city where magicians gather, the mages are too vicious. Although they don't know who lives in this mansion is sacred.
