Chapter 025: Tracking
It was a three-story hotel, and when you looked out and counted the windows, there were at least twenty rooms on each floor.
Ryan watched the magician walk into the hotel and wanted to follow in, but was afraid that they would find out. While he was wandering, Ryan saw a very young waiter standing at the door of the hotel, presumably the hotel was in charge of greeting guests.
Ryan suddenly had an idea.
Ryan took two steps into the door of the hotel, looked inside, and found that there was no one else in the hall except for a staff member at the counter, and the three magicians had obviously gone upstairs.
Ryan didn't go in again, but approached the waiter at the door and asked in a low voice, "Little brother, do you know which room the magician who just went in lives in?" ”
The waiter took a step back, stared at Ryan vigilantly, and then replied a little loudly, "Who are you?" What do you want? ”
Ryan saw that the momentum was not good, and it was obvious that the other party regarded himself as a bad person, and immediately defended: "Don't get me wrong, I'm a mercenary, and I want to see if I can become a follower of this magician." So I wanted to ask you about him. ”
"Oh, that's right. Then you're asking the right person, I'm familiar with him. The waiter suddenly realized that he knew that he had another opportunity to make money, so he immediately boasted.
Ryan also seemed to have expected this situation, he quietly took out 5 silver coins from the money bag in his arms, and quickly stuffed them into the waiter's hand, and the waiter quickly took the silver coins, quickly spread them out and looked at them, and then quickly put them in his pocket in his arms.
"The magician who just went in lives in room 1 on the third floor."
"Is it the first room over there?" Ryan asked, gesturing to the left of the hotel.
"Yes."
"And what room does his followers live in?"
"The next room, room 2."
"Well, by the way, what's the name of the magician? What level is a magician? ”
The waiter was a little strange, but replied anyway, "The magician's name is Vettel, and he is a level 3 magician. Both of his followers are level 4 swordsmen, and you want to be his followers, is your swordsman level enough? ”
"I'm only a level 3 swordsman. May be a little insufficient. Ryan paused for a moment and then asked, "How many days did they stay?" Do you know how many more days they'll have to stay? ”
"They booked a room for half a month, and now they have stayed for about seven or eight days."
Next, Ryan asked some more questions, and the waiter looked a little wrong, but the waiter finally answered.
Finally, Ryan leaned over and asked softly, "Did you notice anything strange about them?" ”
By this time, the waiter had begun to disbelieve Ryan's words that he wanted to be a follower of the magician. He turned his head to look at Ryan, as if trying to see Ryan's purpose.
As soon as Ryan saw the other party's expression, he immediately took out 5 silver coins from his arms and handed them to the other party.
The waiter had already guessed that Ryan definitely didn't want to be a follower of a magician, but more like he wanted to do something bad. Still, he took the silver coin with understanding, looked at it, and then slowly stretched out a finger and said, "No, I can't betray the secret of the guest." ”
Ryan gritted his teeth, took out another 10 silver coins from his arms and handed them to the other party, while he was scolding in his heart: "Bastard, you can't betray the secret of the guest, why did you say so much just now." ”
The waiter took it and looked at it again, and then put it into his arms with satisfaction: "I'll tell you, you must not tell others that I told you." ”
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
The waiter beckoned Ryan's ear to approach, and he put his mouth to Ryan's ear and whispered, "I've seen it twice, and the magician left the hotel alone in the middle of the night, not knowing where to go." ”
Ryan was very happy to hear the news, but when he continued to ask the waiter again, the waiter refused to continue, which made Ryan grit his teeth.
Ryan then left the hotel, but he didn't go far, he circled around the hotel twice to check his surroundings.
In the end, Ryan discovered that there was an alley more than 50 meters opposite the entrance of the hotel, and if he hid in this alley to observe the hotel, he would not be discovered by the hotel's people.
Ryan didn't hide in the alley right away, but went back to the blacksmith's shop.
After all, when you come out in the morning, you didn't bring anything, and now you need to go back and get your weapons and equipment in order to have the ability to take revenge.
…………
It didn't take long for Ryan to quickly return to the alley, and after he went back to ask Moya for a leave of absence, he brought all his weapons and equipment, put on an overcoat, and even put on a hat. In addition, Ryan also bought a pile of baked cakes on the way here, ready to satisfy his hunger.
The alley is very narrow, and it is a dead end inside, although there are almost no people entering this alley, but if you stay at the mouth of the alley for a long time, it is still very noticeable. Luckily, Ryan found several dilapidated wooden planks more than a person tall in the alley, and he moved them to the mouth of the alley, and after a little disguise, he hid behind them. This way, you can observe the door of the hotel without being seen by people outside.
Soon, half a day passed, and Ryan didn't find the magician except for seeing some men and women entering and leaving the hotel. It wasn't until late evening that a swordsman walked out of the door of the inn, one of the followers of the magician Ryan had seen before.
The swordsman walked slowly in the direction of Ryan's side. Ryan suddenly became very nervous, and he was afraid that the swordsman would find out that he was following them.
As the swordsman got closer, Ryan had slowed his breathing, and his right hand gripped the sword stick.
Fortunately, the swordsman was just passing by, and he didn't find Ryan ambushed at the mouth of the alley, and Ryan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where do the swordsmen go? Do you want to follow him to see it? Ryan had a new problem, but after thinking about it, Ryan decided to leave him alone and focus on the magician.
After about a meal, the swordsman returned, followed by two waiter-like men with lunch boxes. Obviously, it should be the swordsman who went to the restaurant to buy food, after all, magicians are also human beings and have to eat.
Looking at the two large boxes of lunch boxes, Ryan felt that there should be a lot of good meals in them, or he wouldn't have used such a good lunch box to hold them.
Ryan sensed that the magician named Vettel was clearly a little different from the legendary magician, in which the magicians were pure-hearted and wanted to live an ascetic-like life. But this magician named Vettel looks different, staying in the best hotels and having followers buy expensive meals.
Ryan continued to wait, and after that, no one else entered or left the hotel except for seeing the waiter come out with a lunch box.
Looking at the departing waiter, Ryan suddenly had the idea of poisoning the food, but he immediately discarded the idea, and despised his own meanness and shamelessness in his heart.
Poisoning is a very difficult thing, not to mention how to put poison in the food, whether the person who eats it will find out. Let's just say that in Ryan's current situation, he really can't get the poison, is the poison bought in the store? Definitely not. How did you get it? Ryan really doesn't know.
Night fell quickly. The night in Kata City is gradually getting colder, but Ryan has been prepared, and the coat on his body is for the cold at night.
On the wall next to the entrance of the hotel, several oil lamps were lit, illuminating the entire doorway of the hotel. This brings great convenience to Ryan to hide in the shadows and observe.
Ryan thinks it's a bit difficult now, but it's okay during the day, with more people coming in and out of the hotel, and the streets are full of pedestrians. When he hides in the shadows and observes, he can watch the passers-by distract himself.
But at night, there was no one in or out of the hotel for half a day. There were few people on the streets, and the surrounding area was very dark and silent, and Ryan's heart began to be bored. If it weren't for the waiter's previous statement that he had seen the magician come out alone in the middle of the night, Ryan would have gone back long ago.
Although Ryan felt bored and uncomfortable, this was still within the scope of acceptance, because since Ryan was reborn into this world, he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night every day, he was lonely and bored, and he was looking for things to do by himself.
So Ryan adjusted his mood a little, and he gradually felt much better.
