Volume 2: The Storm Falls 74 Kill the Chicken and Monkey
I looked at him again. But his gaze had taken his eyes off me.
When I saw him, I remembered the day I was kicked out of Stormwind, and he threatened me.
I got up from my chair and walked upstairs, trying to look as natural as I could, my eyes kept watching him, his head tilted slightly, but he didn't look up at me.
When I walked into the room, I was close to the door and listened to the movement outside, and if he dared to knock on the door, I was going to drag him in and break his arm.
But after waiting for a while, there was no movement outside the door, and no one even passed in front of my door. When he opened the door, he found that there was no one outside, and when he walked to the staircase and looked down, the white-haired man was gone.
He didn't come to me, but I don't think it's a good sign, I don't know if his presence here is accidental, if he comes to me, then he will appear again tonight, whether he comes by himself or a few together depends on what they think.
Shall we go see Edwin now?
Weighing this matter in my heart, it is true that he saved me once that I am still alive, otherwise who else would it be! Or maybe the relationship between our brothers is not as bad as we imagined.
This time, he may have been targeted when he went to find the king. If this old man had come to me, he would have known my whereabouts. Maybe someone will come to you without me looking for it. Not to mention that someone had already followed me last time in Stormwind.
Leaning against the window and watching the pedestrians on the road outside, maybe it's better to get out of here for a while, wherever you go, even if it's to go out for a walk and come back. Thinking of this, I left the hotel decisively.
The rain was still falling, and although it wasn't heavy, the damp and cold air was very uncomfortable. He put on his hat and wrapped his clothes tightly. After coming out of the tavern, he walked around the street for a small half of the city, and finally wandered for a while near the royal palace.
I'm sure there's someone following me, not yet! And I've been staring at me since I walked out of the hall!
Do you want to catch a question?
Standing at the mouth of a small alley outside the palace, I turned back slightly, and the guy who followed me was not far from me. After turning the third alley, I rolled over onto the roof.
It's been a long time since I've played like this.
Stepping on the slippery roof tiles, I saw the person who was following me, and after he found that I was gone, he did not rush to see where I went, but turned around and went around to the alley on the other side, he circled and came back, this guy still has some anti-reconnaissance ability.
Tracking this guy was much more interesting than tracking down the orcs, and he walked like a mouse down the alley like a mouse before walking back down the road.
Finally the guy entered a house, looked up and looked around, and then dodged to the side of the house to take a look. There was no back door, and I didn't see him coming out of the house again, so I squatted down near the house.
When it got dark, no one came looking for him. This makes me wonder, he's in charge of tracking, but that's the end of it? Still is...... Is there anyone else in this room?
Suddenly the lights were lit in the house, and it seemed that he was indeed at home.
Instead of knocking on his door, I climbed straight up to the second floor and got in through the window. Just then, the cooking sound from downstairs suddenly stopped, and he heard my voice!
I ran to the top of the stairs, only to hear the man run too, and he opened the door and rushed out.
I knew I was going to fucking knock on the door!
I chase in the back, he runs in front. I stooped down and grabbed a rock from the ground and threw it at the back of his head.
Fell to the ground.
This technique will always work.
Dragged him off the ground and dragged him into the alley, I slapped him hard in the face, and he closed his eyes. I'm guessing this guy is pretending to faint. So he grabbed his little finger, and then there was a very crisp sound.
He screamed and opened his eyes, and I pinched his mouth. He still wanted to scream, so I punched a few of his teeth and retired them early.
"If you tell me again, I'll cut out your tongue." I say.
He decisively closed his mouth.
"I ask, you answer." Holding the dagger against his crotch, I asked, "Who's your head?" ”
"You're looking for the wrong person!"
"And what are you running for?"
"I thought it was a debt collector."
"I am."
"I'll pay it back."
"Who's your head?"
"I didn't...... I don't know......" He still wanted to quibble.
"Ahh He screamed, and the dagger pierced the skin of his thigh.
"You can shout safely, but if you recruit the guards, I'll kill you before the guards rush to the alley." I pulled the dagger out, "Who sent you to do it?" ”
"I don't know what you're talking about!" He gritted his teeth and looked pained.
"Who is that person you're tracking during the day?"
"I haven't been out during the day!"
Seeing that he didn't explain, I really couldn't think of a more humane but more effective way. And the only thing that can be thought of at this point is to make him miserable. So I dragged him back into the house. Instead of violently interrogating him, I chose a towel with water on it. Then he quickly spat out.
He struggled to catch his breath. "It's John Kevin." He uttered the name desperately, and then tried to breathe.
"Who is he?"
"Our head."
"What does he do?"
"I don't know, we're only responsible for tracking and then taking the money."
"Your tracking failed today."
"Yes, yes."
"How did you report that?"
"On the way back."
"Where, with whom?"
"There's a shoe repair shop on Aydin Street, and there's a beggar in front of it."
"Looks like you'......" I gritted my teeth and was about to pour him some more water.
"I didn't lie to you! I didn't ...... I...... I gave him an iron coin, and he knew he had lost it! ”
"Where does Kevin live?"
"One hundred and eleven Griffin Avenue."
"Who is your Supreme Leader?"
"I don't know! I don't know, I'm just a low-level errand runner. ”
I looked at him and wondered if I should kill him, and then I put the dagger back.
However, I didn't let him go, and I had to go to Kevin's house to see what was going on before making a decision.
As the night grew darker, there were no pedestrians on the road. Random Street is not far from here, five blocks away, but when I found number ninety-nine, my brain buzzed! Hurried back to that guy's house...... He's gone!
He drew his dagger and rushed out of the house. It's me who underestimated them!
Running towards the tavern, it's not that I still have any valuable luggage, but the point is that my horse is still there!
I wanted to lead the horse away, but after thinking about it, I went into the tavern. There were seven or eight people scattered in the hall tonight, and the dim light made the half-dead atmosphere even more dreary.
Glancing at the people in the hall, only two people did not turn their heads to look at me, and the darkness on the wall was not clear, and I was not sure if there was anyone who had been following me in the afternoon. When I came to the bar, the boss politely accosted me, but I didn't say a word.
"When did these people come?" I asked.
"Evening."
"Are they all regulars?" I asked softly.
"No, I seem to ...... Unfamiliar. He said.
That's it! I guess all of these people are looking for me! Pressing a silver coin on the table, "Room rates for the past few days!" With that, I turned and went upstairs.
Fight them? Or do you look at their actions? Or just leave? I stood by the door and listened to the movement in the hallway outside.
But no matter who it is, today is already a tear in the face. If it was Edwin's man, I don't think he would have come to me rashly. But if it's not his people...... Maybe I'll be more than lucky.
In addition to Edwin, there is only Deria's father, Duke Leskova! If I just had anything to do with Deria, could he do this to me? If it's his people...... I'm not going to stab a big basket! Isn't it because I used to her?
To run or not to run? I stared at the crack in the door, and the thought began to occur again. And what about after you run away?
Don't run? Waiting for them to come?
What if they don't come?
What are they following me for? Who do I go to wherever I go? Or do you want to be sure I'm not the one? Or...... Are you going to just kill me......
Thinking of this feeling of coldness in my stomach, I felt a little weak in my lower back.
Can't run! The more you run, the more problems you have. No...... What if I'm not Mason? So how do you do it to look normal?
He placed a cup in the corner of the window that would fall off with a slight touch, then pulled the latch open and leaned against the door with a chair that would fall over with a push.
The bow was at hand, the dagger was still hanging from his waist, and he fell asleep with the knife on his pillow. As soon as I woke up, nothing happened. Am I overthinking?
I got up and went straight downstairs, nothing changed, but when I walked to the backyard...... Shocked and alive!
The horse is dead!
I was stunned for a moment when I looked at the blood and the severed head of the horse.
The attitude of the other party has been picked out!
Slipped out the back door of the tavern, it will be bright in a while, I can't just leave Stormwind City, it's a question if I can't come back next time, and whether I can quickly find the clue when I come back is another matter.
It seems that it can't be exposed too much in Stormwind.
After a long turn and a dozen streets, I found a tailor's shop, and the dress was still too eye-catching.
I bought a few sets of clothes and found a remote cottage nearby to settle down. As fast as two or three days, as slow as a week, I have to figure things out. If it drags on for a long time, I am afraid that there will be some gossip, and I am afraid that it will reach the ears of the king.
Dressed as a Stormwind civilian, I ran towards the tavern, wandering around the tavern for a long time to make sure there were no suspicious people at the front and back doors.
The horse in the backyard had been disposed of, and the blood on the ground had been washed away. There was no one in the backyard, so I climbed up the window of my room from the outside and the cup fell to the floor.
No one seemed to have entered, so I walked up the stairs and looked down the hall...... Not a single one! When I came downstairs, the boss saw me, his face was a little embarrassed, and before he could say anything, I asked, "When did those people leave last night?" ”
"Four of them didn't leave, and they stayed upstairs."
"What about people?"
"I don't know."
"What's it called?"
"I don't know......," the boss shrugged. Mr...... I'm sorry your horse ......."
"Who did it?"
He shook his head with an embarrassed face, and I left my boss and ran straight to the backyard.
I went out the back door and glanced around, and there were only a few passers-by. Whether there are suspicious people or not, I can't stay here now, and maybe there are people in this line who are watching!
I walked slowly out into the street, asking inconsequential questions to the people around me.
It was only after constant questioning that I finally found the people who were following me, and they stopped the person I had just spoken.
I dodged into a bakery and slipped into the backyard, out of which I changed out of my clothes and went straight to the roof. Now it's time for me to follow you.
Two people stood in the bakery for a moment, and one went straight into the bakery. The man who had entered the bakery crossed the backyard and turned back, and the two met and said a word before they separated. Looks like they should know I found them!
He took a straw hat from the backyard and buckled it to his head, and followed the taller one into the alley. I don't think I'm going to be inferior to them, and I'm confident that if they don't find me, even if I do, I can find them again! What Ravenhold learns is not a joke.
Having learned the lesson from the previous time, I watched all his movements, but I didn't notice any bending over to toss a coin along the way. He walked around the market and then turned into a casino.
Gotta hold your breath! He will definitely show me the person I am looking for.
I don't like the environment, this place is the real crowd. The guy sat down at a table and started playing.
I stared at him from afar, but I knew that the way I looked around in such a mix of dragons and snakes might inadvertently catch someone's attention. And for people like me who don't come often, I will be taken care of.
In order not to attract attention, I went to change some chips. But when he was about to leave with his chips in his hand, the white hair appeared at the door of the toilet.
I quickly turned around and dodged into the nearby table.
Today's harvest is really not small!
