Vika followed Valery and yawned a few steps out of the tavern, and the food kept fermenting in his stomach with sleepiness: "Then shall we go to the first or second inn?" ”

"The first one."

Vika was at a loss: "Didn't you just say you were looking for a cleaner ......"

Valery, who was walking in front, suddenly turned sideways and threw a bag of coins at Vika: "That's what I said to them on purpose." ”

Vika took the money bag that originally belonged to Andrew, and was almost stunned: "This, what are you doing with all this money for me?" Give it all to me? ”

Valery bared his teeth, as if mocking Vika's current stupidity: "I told you to run away with them, do you dare?" ”

Vika shook his head repeatedly, and was reluctant to throw the money bag on the ground, so he had to stretch out his arm and hold it as far away as he could: "I don't dare! I didn't want to run away! I can swear to the god of the sea that I don't have the slightest idea of running away! ”

"Hahaha, just you? It would be nice if the Poseidon didn't kick your ass like that," Valery no longer frightened Vika, but shook his hand and motioned for him to follow quickly, "I'm going to do a little experiment, you take care of the money bag tonight, and we'll have two adjoining rooms at the hotel then." ”

"Good, good! You can say this first, and I'll cooperate......"

Valery glanced at Vika helplessly: "I'm just kidding, I'm so fierce in your eyes?" Going crazy at the slightest disagreement? ”

Vika also glanced at the red cloak on Valery's shoulder, and closed his mouth in silence.

"Anyway, rest as soon as you enter the house, and I'll find an opportunity to greet our guests."

"Guest?"

"You don't think you heard what you just said. What if I told you now, what if you couldn't sleep tonight? Maybe the other party won't come at all. ”

Vika shook the cloth bag in his hand again, the sound of the coins colliding was so pleasant, but now it sounded like his coffin board was shaking: "So, I became the bait?" ”

Valery gave Vika a thumbs up and praised his improvised mind: "You see, you didn't hear what I said. ”

Although Vika's face was a little pale, after drinking three glasses of light beer, his courage grew: "It doesn't matter, I fall asleep, I don't even know when the sky falls!" ”

Valery laughed and patted Vika on the back, almost slapping the weak-legged Vika down: "Haha! Good mentality, keep it up! ”

For the rest of the journey, Vika repeatedly confirmed Valery: "It's really going to be fine, right?" ”

"No, if you're so anxious, I can knock you unconscious."

"Forget it, I'd better fall asleep by myself......"

A few minutes later, Esther walked into the next room with the key in hand, completely ignoring Vika's talkative eyes in the hallway.

The rooms of both are on the first floor, and there are no two floors in this whole hotel, and even the bathroom is shared, set at the end of the corridor.

The bartender's words were quite reliable, and this inn was really not clean, but a single room cost only one silver coin a night.

There was a damp musty smell in the cold room, cramped enough to fit only a bed and a table, a few bugs scurried through the cracks around the bed, and a half-incomplete cobweb hung by the window, on which the newly settled spiders were busy tossing and going.

Esther placed her satchel on the table, unfastened the red cloak and put it on it, opened the window a small slit, and lay straight into bed.

A lark-shaped glow emerged from Valery's forehead and swooped down on the spider, which stiffened its eight legs, and the two legs at the front end had white bony layers growing out of them, which looked particularly strange.

After the initial discomfort, the spider hung a strand, and soon landed on the windowsill, crawling along the small slit to the outer wall of the inn, and slowly approaching the window on the side of Vika, squeezing itself into the shadow on the outside of the window.

Eight pale eyes rolled slightly, staring at the crimson moonlit street.

——

Half past two in the morning.

A figure crossed the street, nimbly hiding its figure in the darkness, approaching the hotel's façade, pausing for a few seconds before heading straight for Vika's window.

In order to ventilate and dissipate the musty smell, Vika also opened a gap in the window, which was not completely closed. At this time, his snoring was constantly coming from the room, and he could hear it clearly even from the window.

The spider shook its legs, moved its body, and watched as the tall figure carefully pulled open the window, and with a light posture, it almost slid over the windowsill and stood in Vika's room.

Vika was still asleep, and even the slight grinding sound of the window didn't wake the man at all, he had been through too many strange things today, and this was the time to get some rest.

The spider also crawled into the window, but instead of going deeper into the house, he crouched near the window and looked at the uninvited man.

The intruder covered his face and spun around in place, seeing through the moonlight that the person snoring on the bed was not the bald head.

The intruder was stunned for a moment, then reached out directly to the money bag on the table, and gently picked it up, trying not to make too many collision noises with the gold coins in the bag.

Just as the intruder was about to turn around and climb out of the window, he saw a shadow on the wall.

It was a small figure, sitting with his legs folded on the windowsill, his back against the edge of the window, as if it had been there from the beginning, and like a ghost that didn't exist.

The intruder did not turn his head, but slowly turned his body to prevent himself from continuing to turn his back on the sudden appearance of the enemy.

"Good night, I remember where I saw you."

Under the intruder's hood was a mask that covered her appearance, but it was this outfit that evoked a little impression of Esther.

"I don't know you."

A magnetic male voice came from under the mask.

The intruder slowly put the purse back on the table, his eyes darting over the woman blocking the window: pale blonde hair, a short figure in Nath, strange pale eyes, and an elven half-blood, if I had seen her before, I would have been impressed.

Her soft, nonchalant expression reminded the intruder of the bald male, especially the slight strangeness he had shown earlier.

Esther smiled, "You were hiding behind the bushes with Mary, hiding from the Church of the Storm's substitutes. 'Brilliant Pearl' Mary, you should remember her? On the island of Simium. ”

The pupils under the mask shrank suddenly: "I was hiding behind the house with her, but you—How do you know?" It's just me and the pirate there......"

The smile on Esther's face deepened, "I know everything, more disordered than all the nightmares you can imagine, I can do anything, more crazy than any common sense you know—

"Ahem, I'm sorry, your eyes are funny, you really seem to believe such a pompous statement."

Esther didn't hold back, such a good villain appeared, so she felt that it was a pity not to make good use of it, so she casually made up a few words.

If Klein was here, he would definitely secretly complain about me as a "secondary two sick criminal", right? Thinking so, Esther saw the intruder on the other side coming out of her bosom, and quickly spoke again:

"Shantal, I think we'd better just talk, hands-on......"

Before Esther could finish speaking, Shantal had already grabbed something from his arms, but the "sun" he wanted to pronounce in Ancient Hermes was not spoken, and his mind was blank for a while.

That idea is gone.

Shantar looked desperately at the woman sitting by the window, she reached out and grabbed it, and the golden charm had fallen into her palm.

Esther touched the "Sun" realm spell that emitted a little warmth, and looked at Shantal with a kind expression: "If you do it, what I want to say is that you really don't have much chance of winning. ”

Shantar lowered her hand and stood silently in the room for a few minutes, Esther didn't care about this time, she didn't have to steal to know how much Shantal would struggle at this time, Asther was willing to wait for Shantal to make a decision.

Vika, who was lying on his back, turned over on his back to the two of them facing the wall, still sleeping in the dark, with no signs of waking up, muttering twice in a slurred voice: "No light ale...... Don't ...... water."

Esther shook her head amusedly, "He doesn't mind this in his dreams." ”

Shantar stared at her expression for a few seconds, then suddenly raised his arm and took off his hood and took off his mask casually, but did not continue to pinch his throat to speak:

"Yes, I'm Shantal, and I admit that I just had a bad idea. Breaking into your room without permission is something I didn't do right. ”

Esther narrowed her eyes, "Are you convinced that I won't hand you over to the official extraordinary?" There are many ways to make people suffer, not to mention that we are all extraordinary, and you should know something. ”

Shantal didn't speak, just looked at Esther with a determined gaze.

Esther shook her head, "You seem to have misunderstood something, your extraordinary traits and magical items are worth more to me than you are. ”

Shantar glanced at Vika on the bed: "I know, if you want to kill me, you can do it in an instant just now, and I can't resist at all." ”

Of course, Esther also followed Shantal's gaze to Vika: "I thought you would use him as bait, seeing that he slept so deeply, isn't it just right to threaten me?" ”

The corners of Shantal's mouth lifted up and a wry smile appeared: "If I did that, I wouldn't even know how I died, would I?" ”

Esther shook her leg lightly and pointed in the direction of the next room: "That person's body is not very good, the back of the head is too cold, so I am thinking about changing someone." But I can't just arrest people on the street, can I? That's too rude, it's not as good as someone else sending it to the door themselves. ”

Shantar didn't hold back a momentary rebuke in his eyes, but quickly suppressed his emotions: "Can I ask why you're telling me this?" ”

"I'm just curious about you, why do you look so much like a woman when you're a man?"

Shantal was visibly stunned for a moment: "For this? ”

"yes, or else?" Esther looked sideways at the moonlight outside, "Or do you want to come back tomorrow?" I could treat you to a meal or something. ”

"No, don't ......"

At the same time, Shantar was dazed, and felt more and more confused about the woman's temperament, the other party obviously seemed sober, but it was so willful that people thought that her brain was not abnormal.

Just out of curiosity, you can let go of thieves who want to get their hands on their property? Is this kindness? But the sense of oppression she invisibly exerts on people has nothing to do with kindness......

Esther smiled and pointed in the direction of the door, and sent an invitation to Shantal: "Then come and sit in my room, we can talk slowly, and we won't disturb Vika's good dreams." ”
