Section 19.The sacrifice of Annan
There is nothing in this tavern that is without the goals that Suni described.
There are many glamorous women, but there are no women dressed as mercenaries.
Annan and Alice sat in the tavern for a while, killing time while discussing the plot of Annan Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. And dozens of minutes passed, and nothing happened.
Did they choose the wrong tavern?
But the mercenaries who rubbed the girl's ass and went upstairs, the guests who hid in the corners to weave an unknown conspiracy, and the pickpockets who maliciously stared at the guests' money bags...... This should instead reduce the quality of the local tavern by a few percent.
Just as he was thinking this, a pungent smell of cheap perfume came with a poor figureβwhy else was there so little fabric in the clothes?
"Hey, sweetheart, can I treat you to a drink?"
She sat opposite Annan, and the fragrance and ambiguous light and shadow that came to her face aroused people's inner desires-
"I'm not old enough to drink." Annan, however, was unmoved.
"A glass of juice." The woman waved her hand again like a counter.
She wasn't the person they were looking for, and Annan said euphemistically, "I like to be more mature." β
There was a dull laugh all around.
The guests had been observing Annan and Alice, and the occasional words such as the Red Lord, Eternal, and Guardian Charms had inexplicably made them feel awesome.
The ugly woman left, and a man as thin as a monkey sat down.
"To mature women." He teased as he picked up his glass.
Annan kept quiet and let the man speak for himself.
"What news do you want?"
"We're just here to visit the tavern." Annan said.
"Forget it, who's going to bring a female companion to the tavern?" Annan's lies could not deceive the man, "I'm Lym, the people here call me slime, and there's nothing we don't know about Seltoves." β
"We-"
"You can't help with the news we want." Annan interrupted Alice and looked at Lem seriously: "I'm looking for a blank Pioneer Order, can you do it?" β
"You must be kidding......"
Pioneer orders are only authorized by the Imperial Military Department, and it has been thirty-four years since the last one...... But he could see that it was true.
Young people nowadays are really inflated
Lem muttered and left.
Alice retracted her gaze: "Why don't you just ask, he should have news of vampires." β
"Will the guy who is out of the gray area be on our side or on the gray area?"
"Over there."
"yes, so he'll eat us first and then them."
"But he's right to say that the two of us don't look like guests at all." So you go back first, and I'll stay here. β
Alice didn't speak, staring at Annan.
Annan's drooping black eyes appeared heavy: "All for Xianna......"
"'The closer you get to the person you desire, the less aura you have on him' I couldn't understand this sentence before." Alice shoved a ring to Annan.
Annan pretended not to understand: "What about you? β
Alice raised her hand, and her index finger still had a magic ring.
Annan jealously thought that in the future, when he made a magical video, the script would ask Alice to write the essay "My Epic Father".
"I'll leave it to you." Alice said, walking out of the tavern and disappearing behind the closed door.
Annan picked up the juice and walked over to the naked woman she had accosted earlier.
Squeak β
Behind him, the tavern door was pushed open again, and Annan naturally changed direction to the counter, glancing towards the door.
Alice didn't go and returned, and a gloomy man approached the tavern, and where he passed, the drinkers frowned. And when he came to the counter, Annan smelled the faint smell of blood and dΓ©jΓ vu emanating from this guy.
Bloodsucker?
But not the one who took the Xenna.
Annan continued to observe, and just as Annan smelled his "vampire smell", the vampire also smelled Annan's "warlock smell".
"Friend, you ......"
"I don't want to hear you," Annan interrupted him directly, "I'm only interested in female vampires. β
"We're going to have a super exciting party at midnight, do you want to attend?"
"I have a special taste." Annan has not yet led to keywords such as "mercenary leather armor" and "bewitching", and the vampire shows an expression that all men understand:
"I understand, I understand. Grandmothers, granddaughters, nieces, sisters, haughty noblewomen, saints under house arrest, and ...... who are proficient in Transfiguration"
Annan held his glass to hide the shock in his heart, as if the door of a new world was opening to him.
"Lead the way."
The vampire, who hadn't yet made a hot round stool, led Annan out of the tavern and into the alley, expertly avoiding the patrol guards outside the street.
The vampire stunned by surprise was completely unnoticed, and a shadow deeper than darkness crept over it.
In the dark alleys, the sound of tides and the glittering light of blood were fleeting, and then fell into an eternal silence.
The vampire, who failed to escape, realized that he had become prey and began to growl, "Whose person are you?" Town halls, mercenaries, churches? You can't do this! β
"Why can't I do that?" Behind Annan stood two large elements.
"You're unruly!"
"How can I be unruly?"
"We make you happy, and in return we only squeeze some blood, and at most make you weak for a few days. You won't die, so you can't kill us either! β
Annan actually felt that what he said made some sense, and he believed half of it, there were not many vampires who could reason.
"I didn't want to kill you, I just wanted to inquire about something." Annan said.
The vampire relaxed a little when he heard this, and even bargained: "We will also do the information, for your sake of controlling me, I can give you a fifty discount." β
"I'm not going to give out a penny."
The vampire also said in principle, "I won't say anything." β
"Okay, you say it again." Annan said.
"I don't say anything!" The vampire puffed out his chest in awe.
Annan suspected that the vampire was from the chaos camp.
"Previous."
"Five-fold?"
"One more sentence."
"We make you happy, you won't die, so you can't kill us either?"
Annan pulled out his short dagger: "I changed my mind." β
"You can't-"
"I can. I'm a chaotic and evil warlock, I signed a contract with the devil, teamed up with the nezumi, lived with the blue dragon, and now I'm just killing a trivial vampire. "The sharp dagger is getting closer and closer to the vampire's neck.
"Your companions will not dare to seek revenge on me, they will only erect a grave and write on your tombstone 'It defends a worthless rule with its life'."
"Well, I say! What do you want to know! β
The dagger poked into the vampire's skin stopped.
"One of my classmates was captured by you at the Black Gold Tavern last night, where is she?"
"It's not something we do!"
Unexpectedly, the vampire says it has nothing to do with them, and then tells Annansertoves about the rules of the gray zone.
