Chapter 24: Spiced Grilled Fish

After the blue-haired man left, Daniz's hand came to an end, and he made a lot of money, and he ended it just right.

Seeing that Daniz was exchanging chips for cash, Esther couldn't help but ask, "Don't play again?" I think you're in good luck today. ”

"No, I can't trust that guy just now. If he backhanded us and sold our news to 'Steel', it would be a bad luck. ”

Esther shook her head, "He won't." ”

"Where do you get your confidence?"

Daniz could not trust the blue-haired Ghost Ship Captain, and Vice Admiral Iceberg had speculated that he might be backed by other forces. Daniz and the other are not familiar with each other, and between different ships, the pirates trust each other almost like the love in the "Red Theater".

It's all fart.

Esther straightened her wide-brimmed straw hat: "I won't be with you at noon, you can go wherever you want after that." Try not to get wet, the makeup on your face will spark. ”

"Huh? So what are you going to do? ”

"Find a few restaurants for lunch, or else?" Esther asked rhetorically.

Daniz's previous illusions were immediately shattered: "I thought you were here to help me gather information......"

Esther had a clear conscience: "No, I'm just here to join in the fun." ”

She would have liked to try two at the casino, but Daniz had a point.

Mr. "The Hanged Man" is quite cunning and sophisticated, and his attitude cannot be completely equated with his actual actions. Daniz's injury wasn't quite healed right now, and it was safer for him to keep a low profile, and Esther could understand his wariness of the "Hanged Man".

As soon as the front foot and Daniz disbanded at the door of the "Gold Coin Casino", Esther ran into some minor trouble on the back foot.

Esther regretted it a little at this time, after all, her makeup style today was more flamboyant, even if she wore a mask, it would only make those who disagreed with her more suspicious.

With a flick of her wrist, Esther snatched the idea of the two bastards blocking the alley, and quickly digested the few memories she had stolen.

It's really a pirate, isn't there a "Red Theater" in Baiam that specializes in this kind of business? It's so presumptuous!

Unwilling to cause trouble, Esther's hand on Logan's Claw was finally removed, and the two quickly bypassed them and walked out of the alley before they could return to normal.

If I can be promoted to "parasite", I can act in other forms, and I won't be so bothered. But if you want to parasitize someone else's words...... It doesn't matter, there are so many pirates in Byam, are you still worried about finding someone with a criminal record?

Esther walked through several streets, wandering for a long time, until she came to a wide street with many Indisian plane trees.

After hiding the mask from her face, she stepped into a fairly neat and clean restaurant and sat at a smaller single table led by a waiter.

It was close to twelve o'clock, and there were still many people dining, and the more intimate corners next to it were covered with a flower wall to form a separate compartment, but it was not completely closed, and a single customer could be observed dining.

Esther casually glanced at the menu: "A portion of your special grilled fish here, and a glass of Teyana juice with pulp." Do you still have Indis cuisine? Then add a little more baked brid, thank you. ”

After the waiter turned to leave, Esther felt the gaze of the guest sitting at the table next to her.

Esther turned her head sideways, allowing her gaze to look beyond the sparse void in the flower wall to meet the gentleman's scrutinizing gaze, and she smiled haughtily and sweetly at the handsome young man.

All of the man's hair was pressed under a silk top hat, which he did not take off even when dining indoors, and his emerald eyes were deep and seductive.

Esther narrowed her eyes, the gentleman seemed to have light makeup on his face, deliberately accentuating the shadow of his facial features, making the originally more neutral appearance much tougher.

It seems that there is indeed a tradition of male makeup on the side of Intis, and this gentleman's makeup skills are not bad.

Just as Esther was about to withdraw her gaze, the young man in the double-breasted gown suddenly leaned closer to the flower wall, and asked in a low voice with glowing eyes:

"Madam, are you interested in making a little money?"

His Rune accent was a little Indish, which instantly reminded Esther of some disgusting people, and coupled with these words, Esther couldn't help but sneer:

"I'm not in that business, sir."

After saying that, she turned her head away, not bothering to deal with this person anymore.

"No, no, you're mistaken!" The voice on the other side of the flower wall sounded again, and after his voice was raised, it sounded more like a teenager who had not gone through the voice change period, "I just want you to help, just go around the place outside of Baiam, I can provide the corresponding funds, you just need-"

Esther suddenly stared at him in surprise:

"Just pretend to be you?"

"You're a lady, aren't you, sir?"

Esther originally just wanted to make a bad joke and let the other party understand that she was not interested, but the next performance on the other side made Esther see through the truth.

The voice on the other side of the flower wall stopped abruptly, but soon it sounded more urgently: "Redheads are quite rare here, I really hope you can think about what I said, or just leave Byam by boat in that disguise!" I can provide proof of identity and ferry tickets! ”

Esther looked at "him" suspiciously: "You're not afraid that I will sell your news?" ”

The "gentleman" calmed down instead: "You don't know me, and I won't come to this restaurant again after today, what do I have to fear?" Anyway, they always knew I was still in Baiam...... I'll be out of here soon. ”

"You're very carefree." Esther heard the other party's lie, did not debunk it, but smiled and "praised", and then quietly waited for the waiter to serve the food.

She has no obligation to help people lead trouble, and she is not a philanthropist.

Soon, the waiter put the grilled fish and drinks on the table, and with Esther's permission, the dessert was also served.

Esther skillfully picked up the pair of chopsticks, which were not as smooth as tree branches, and expertly separated the flesh from the bones and brought them to her mouth, so that she could not tell that she was eating with chopsticks for the first time.

"Two hundred gold pounds. If you want, I can even have someone arrange your identity and take you to Intis. Entering the country legally, including work arrangements, with up to one additional dependent. The suspicious person disguised as a man accentuated the word "legal".

Esther frowned, and swept the garnet-like eyes in the flower wall suspiciously, the other party's expression anxious and urgent.

If Esther was really just an ordinary girl from Byam, she would definitely accept it without saying a word, and going to the "big city" might be a lifelong dream for the ordinary residents of these islands.

However, after saying goodbye to their home island, the essence of their lives has not changed much, and they have never really left the bottom. Many people can't understand this and just want to go to those more prosperous places to live a good life.

Esther glanced indifferently: "If you just want me to die for you, how can I verify what you say?" Maybe you can try swearing by your most precious thing before I consider your proposal. ”

There was silence for a moment, and Esther enjoyed the fish wrapped in the thick spice flavor, not bothering the struggle in the heart of the man behind the flower wall next door.

"I ...... In the name of my family, this is only a commission, and you will not be sent to die for me. ”

"Please, I don't know the family you are talking about, and if you impersonate the Augustan family, I don't know if it's true or not-"

The "man" gritted his teeth and said, "I swear by the honor of the Sauron family. ”

Esther was stunned as she took a sip of Teyana juice, diluting the spice in her mouth, lowering her eyes and taking a deep breath, focusing on the perception that made everything chaotic.

Soon she got the answer she wanted:

The faint saltiness and smoke smell are like rusty swords polished in flames.

Esther quickly raised her head and showed a happy smile: "The oath I just said is to amuse you." ”

The anger in the eyes of the other side almost turned into substance: "You-"

"You're a 'hunter'. Direct? ”

The green-eyed "man" was silent for several seconds, then looked at Esther clearly: "You are extraordinary...... I see, I was blind, sorry. ”

If the other party is extraordinary, there is a high probability that there will not be a simple background, and there is no need to risk it for such a small amount of money, and the conditions he proposed are not very tempting at all.

Just as the "gentleman" wanted to offer to cancel the transaction, Esther suddenly nodded and raised the cup of juice in her hand at the other party:

"I agree to help you, but the conditions will change. Two hundred gold pounds, a potion to disguise the color of your eyes, you'll have to find a way to provide it, andβ€”"

"I want a tube of your blood, ten milliliters."

The "man" immediately frowned: "This is not good, there are too many cases in the occult where blood can be used for curses and tracking. ”

Esther began to take small bites of the roasted brie, and the sweet taste made her feel better: "Then we don't have to talk about it." ”

After a pause, Esther was sincere in this conversation: "Actually, the red hair is just my disguise. Judging by your unwavering performance, my disguise should have been quite successful. ”

She tapped her cheek and used the mental interference of the "fraudster" to create a hallucination.

At this moment, the "man's" gaze was completely frozen, although it was not exactly the same, but "he" was full of the illusion of looking in the mirror, if it was an unfamiliar person, he would inevitably admit his mistake at a glance!

Esther smiled and shook her head, retracting the illusion she had applied to her face: "A tube of blood may be too much, but what do you think of replacing it with something else, such as some information?" ”

"What do you want? Two hundred gold pounds is almost all I can put together, and I even have to borrow money from the elders of the family! I don't have the funds to help you inquire about anything else! The person on the other side gritted his teeth, but he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.

The corners of Esther's mouth hooked, and after the extreme demand, she gave in, and the fish itself ran to the bait:

"It's not a big deal, I want information about the 'Hunter' pathway, everything you know."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Do you want a recipe? ”

Esther shook her head, "No, it's not fair that you're paying too much." I just need the sequence name and the approximate capability, just want to get a look, really. ”

She smiled and blinked:

"I don't believe you look at my sincere eyes."
