Chapter Twenty-Four: Meet Ailu Again
Walking out of the grocery store and on his way to the Bounty Guild, Makomi observes everything around him. During the day, the city of bells is very busy, and the streets and alleys are crowded with people. Everyone has different forms, some are idle, some are in a hurry, the vendors are selling goods, and all kinds of groceries and clothing are also dazzling. Masamu observed the thriving scene under the bell towers and felt the atmosphere of peace and joy. Makomi feels like he's starting to adapt to life in another world.
Suddenly, a sound of neat footsteps sounded in the street, and the crowd of people who heard it gave way. I saw a tall man with a strong body passing in the middle of the street. In the city of Bells, where they are not allowed to have personal armaments, they are all very well armed.
"Look! It's the Flying Fish Swordsmen! "Wow! So handsome! "Alas, the army is on the move, and the days of peace are coming to an end." "Hurry up and prepare some food supplies in advance." "The Flying Fish Swordsmen are still as powerful as ever, and I feel very relieved to have them there." "I heard that they will be out of the city the day after tomorrow, I wish them good luck Wuchang and a triumphant return as soon as possible!" The crowd on both sides of the street was chattering.
At that moment, Makomi felt something scurry into his pocket, and he grabbed it violently. In his pocket he grabbed a slender, soft hand that was digging into his wallet.
"Oops! I was discovered by my brother. A playful female voice came into Zhencheng's ears, Zhencheng was stunned, the feeling of the voice was very familiar, he seemed to have heard this voice somewhere.
"It's you! Ailu! Makoto remembered the owner of the voice.
"Yes, yes, it's me. My brother still remembers me, I'm so shy. Eru stretched out her other uncaught hand and gently put it over her mouth in a shy pose. It seems that at this moment she is not a thief who steals money, but a shy girl who is caught by the hand of the boy she likes. If it weren't for Zhencheng knowing her true face, she would have been deceived by her at this moment.
"Less nonsense! Give me back your phone! "How could Shinsei forget Ailu, it was the thief who stole his important belongings.
"A cell phone? What's that? Are you talking about that black rectangular piece of metal? "As a native of another world, Elu has never seen such a thing as a mobile phone. She scratched her head embarrassedly and said, "That thing was sold by me on the black market, and it's not very valuable." ”
"You!" Zhen Cheng's eyes darkened, it was the only thing he had brought into the other world, and there was still a lot of unknown information to be unearthed on it.
"Oh, the little woman knows that she is wrong, the little woman is willing to make a cow and a horse for the little brother!" Ai Lu looked at Zhencheng innocently, but in fact, she felt bad in her heart.
"No need! Where and when did you sell it, tell me quickly! "The strength of Zhencheng's hand gradually increases, he is not a fool, he knows Ailu's careful thinking very well, after this incident, he does not want to have anything to do with Ailu.
"Let go of me! You're pinching me! Ai Lu broke free of Makoto's hand and put away her exaggerated acting skills. Really, I don't understand any mood! Come with me, I'll take you, I just sold it not long ago, and I'm probably still there. Ai Lu rubbed her wrist and continued with a resentful expression: "Also, I didn't plan to go with you last time, you forced me to get on the horse. So this metal block (mobile phone) is considered an additional reward. I'm not an unprincipled person. Eru said with a heartfelt voice.
"Then how are you going to explain the fact that you stole my wallet today?" Zhencheng retorted angrily, he was still very angry that Ai Lu stole his phone and sold it.
"Uh...... What's this...... Oops, why are you so careful with a man's eyes! Ailu was so choked that she couldn't say anything, so she could only make trouble unreasonably.
Zhencheng just followed her silently, too lazy to reason with her. They didn't say a word all the way, going back and forth through the streets. Ai Lu led Maseung further and further away, and the population became more and more sparse. Maseung gradually became suspicious, and sent two sword and shield soldiers to follow Ailu at all times, for fear that she would come up with some ideas. Seeing this, Ai Lu gave Masei a blank look. I didn't expect to be quite cautious in doing things, Ai Lu thought to herself.
Finally, on a very hidden street corner, Elu stopped. "Here we are." Ai Lu reminded Mako, and then turned around the corner very naturally. Zhencheng didn't dare to slack off, and followed closely and walked in.
A strong man suddenly burst out of the shadows, his body standing in front of them. This move frightened Zhencheng and hurriedly manipulated the soldiers to prepare for battle, and when the strong man saw Zhencheng put on a formation, he also set up an attack posture.
"Oops, oops, don't be nervous." Ailu hurried to the middle and stopped the tense atmosphere. She waved her hand and spoke to the strong man, who nodded at her and left. "This is the janitor bodyguard of the black market." Eru turned back to Makoto and explained.
Maseung nodded in understanding. After coming to another world and experiencing several battles in a row, my nerves have become sensitive. Masei now thinks that anyone who suddenly rushes out is an enemy. Zhencheng and his party continued to move forward without danger, and after a period of walking on foot, a very wide block appeared in front of Zhencheng, and the two sides of the block were no longer ordinary shops and buildings, and the pedestrians passing here were also dressed strangely, behaving strangely, and most of them even covered their faces with black cloths.
The warriors lined up and cautiously weaved through the crowd. On the other hand, Ai Lu walked leisurely, like a leisurely stroll.
"Yo! Here you are, little girl! Suddenly, someone greeted Ai Lu cordially, and the person who spoke was a woman in her thirties, with black hair and a melon seed face, and a black mole under the corner of her mouth. She is dressed in a style similar to the Western Regions on Earth, enchanting and charming.
"Sister Meizi!" Ai Lu also kindly rushed over to hug the woman. Two people with full breasts hugged each other and pressed each other's boobs into a pie shape. Zhencheng was fortunate to see this happy scene and silently praised it.
"Sister Meizi, I sold your phone, uh, no, do you still have that black metal block I sold you?" Eru let go of the woman and asked about business.
"Why do you ask this? You're not going to go back, are you? The woman named Umeko also let go of Ailu, and she said, "It would be a pity if that were the case." The metal cube was sold yesterday and was bought by a man in animal skin armor. The man was full of evil energy, and I didn't even dare to sell him for a very high price. ”
Hearing that the phone had been bought, Makoto was extremely disappointed, and at the same time he was a little shocked and frightened. The other party bought his mobile phone, which means that the other party thinks that this thing is useful to him, and the person who bought his mobile phone is very likely to know such a thing. If the other party is also a traverser, with information that Maseung doesn't know, and the other party still has Maseung's mobile phone, then this matter will be tricky.
Ailu and Meizi continued to talk, but Masei couldn't listen to them at all. He fell into deep thought.
"Oh, yes. The man also confessed as he left. Meizi got up suddenly, and the two white rabbits on her chest shook a few times. "The man said that if anyone came here to inquire about the metal block, tell that person that Lilisa is in good shape at the moment, but has been saying his name," said Meizi. ”
"What?!" Hearing this, Zhencheng screamed as if he had encountered a thunderbolt from a sunny day. His scream startled Eru and Meizi, and at the same time, the shop guards on the side of him were alarmed, and two dark-skinned, muscular men surrounded him.
"What are you doing! Loud noises are forbidden here! Ailu looked at the approaching shop guards and hurriedly reminded Mako.
But Zhencheng didn't care so much at the moment, he came to Meizi and almost stuck it on Meizi's face. Maseung asked excitedly, "You said that the man who bought the black metal cube (mobile phone) mentioned Lilisa?" ”
"Uh-huh, that's the name. After all, he just said it yesterday, and I shouldn't be mistaken. How? Do you know her? Meizi took two steps back, looking at Zhencheng with an excited expression, a hint of fear flashed in her eyes.
"Lilisa, if it's really Lilisa. Then the man in the animal skin armor is the one of the red-eyed people, and perhaps the boss of the red-eyed people. "Makoto's brain is spinning rapidly, sorting out all kinds of information." Thanks, at least I have a clue now. Shinseung returned to his usual state, and he looked at Meizi and thanked him.
"Huh?" Meizi was confused by Makoto's actions.
And Ai Lu on the side interjected at this moment: "Shouldn't you thank me, I'm the one who brought you here!" ”
But before they could say a few words, the two sturdy shop guards had already walked in front of them. "You have violated the third rule of the black market, do not make a loud noise! Authorized, expel you now! The two shop guards said in unison, they were in a state like the warriors summoned by the true inheritance, but the warriors summoned by the true inheritance could not speak.
Seeing that someone was threatening Zhencheng, the sword and shield soldiers and shortbow hunters standing on the side also surrounded them, they had an automatic guardian mechanism, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
"Wait! Wait a minute! Don't fight! Zhencheng hurriedly took action to stop his subordinates, after all, it was his last strength, and he couldn't spend it in such a place for no reason.
"Hey, don't do it, we'll just go out by ourselves." Eru stepped up from the sidelines, trying to stop the store guards.
"Identification, Black Market Premium Member Ailu. If they are in the same group as the offenders, their senior membership will be suspended for one month and they will be expelled together. The shop guards looked at Elu and said.
"Okay, I got it. Don't move, we'll leave. Eru was calm when she heard the store guard's verdict. She quickly said goodbye to Meizi, took Mako's hand and walked towards the exit of the black market. Seeing them leave, the shop guards returned to their posts.
"Are the rules of the black market so strict?" Zhencheng was pulled by Ailu and trotted all the way.
"Of course, no loud noises are the top three rules of the black market. I'm going to be miserable by you this time. With an embarrassed expression, Eru walked briskly.
"I'm sorry." really admits that he can tell right from wrong, and he is indeed sorry for Ai Lu in this matter. And Elu's embarrassed appearance is in stark contrast to her previous naughty appearance, which is really a little cute.
"Alright, we're even." Ellie said, pouting her lips with a look of grievance.
Walking out of the black market, both of them breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other and laughed, and as Eru had said, they had cheated each other, and now they were even.
