Led Vika out the street, and when the pirates were completely out of sight, Valery stopped a cab.

"Go to the west of the city, please help find a clean hotel."

The coachman nodded cheerfully: "That's no problem!" I've been in this business for years, so I know which one is better. There aren't as many hotels there as there are in the docks, but there are a few. ”

"The price doesn't matter, the main thing is to be neat." Esther deliberately emphasized this sentence.

The coachman shook his head at the carriage: "The expensive hotels are all in the dock area, and the ones in the west of the city are not very expensive." Get in the car, you'll have to walk for more than half an hour to the west of the city. ”

Sitting in the rental carriage, Vika's heart that had been hanging was finally relieved, and he had been worried that the pirates of the "Axe" would catch up.

Esther didn't have to steal ideas, she knew what Vika was worried about.

Valery leaned his head against the window and looked out at the white houses: "They don't have the heart to catch up. The new captain wouldn't let them track him, and he was afraid that we would have a 'bad influence' on those people. ”

"Because of your last words?"

Valery snorted, acquiescing to Vika's conjecture and moving his arms and shoulders.

Esther didn't feel much of it because she had cut off her sense of pain, but she knew that her body was almost at its limit.

The people who are secretly chasing Valery and Vika may not be long before they show their feet, and that is no different from home delivery.

Vika also saw Valery's bruised arms, and he hesitated for several minutes, but finally asked:

"Why do you have to fight him? You don't have to do that at all, and you're still hurt. ”

Valery patted his arm lightly, his face expressionless: "It has no effect on me, I can choose not to receive the pain of this body." ”

"You say as if Valery is just...... A horse or something. ”

"More accurately, a vehicle."

Vika shuddered, "Well, it just looks painful, I thought you didn't like to get too much attention." ”

Valery withdrew his gaze from the window and focused on Vika:

"In the fight just now, there were at least three people who saw it. For the members of the Axe, this is deterrence. Even if they see you somewhere else in the future, there is a high probability that there will be no more people besieging and humiliating people today.

"And it's also easier to have a conflict with his crew, and someone on a boat has a different mind, it's like hiding a barrel of explosives, and they won't have the heart to make trouble again."

"Three-way?" Vika scratched her chin puzzled.

Valery pointed to himself: "Mr. Goose has been paying attention to me, I don't know what background he has behind him, but he did have a little bit of a solicitation when he was in the store." So in order to dissuade him, I need to show him some unruly style, so that he will give up the idea of continuing to probe us.

"Mr. Yan is a clever man, but he is also a shrewd man, and he used the money from the sale of guns to show goodwill in negotiations, mistakenly believing that there is another pirate group or organization behind me...... It's a pity he was wrong, I'm alone. ”

Vika pointed at herself, silently confused.

Valery glanced at him amusefully:

"Okay, you're counted, two of you.

"Mr. Yan has a flexible mind enough that I only need to show him a part, and he himself can complete my style in his imagination. He would measure, he would observe, he would think I was uncontrollable, and he would give up the idea of sending someone to investigate. ”

Speaking of this, Esther paused, she seemed to touch the essence of "fraudster", unlike the practical application of "decryption scholars", "deception" should not be just superficial, but can be integrated into any words and deeds.

It is not a pure lie, but "misleading", a means of diverting attention for the purpose behind it.

Vika nodded twice, then looked at Valery again: "And a third party?" I didn't notice anyone else, and there was no one else in the tavern. ”

"I'm not quite sure who the third party is, but I have some doubts. It had something to do with the people we saw at the Herring Tavern last night, they weren't very friendly, and I spent some money at the bartender. ”

Vika patted the purse that hung around her waist and under her sackcloth shirt: "They think we have more money and want to rob us. ”

"Yes, it's probably some local gangsters, seeing the two of us walking around and fighting with the enemy on the street, they will think we are easy to bully."

Valery said with little interest, seeing that he had been pressed and beaten for so long, and that the information he had obtained in this situation was enough to mislead them into making the wrong decision.

Unlike Matteo, these people are supposed to be ordinary people who don't have much to worry about.

If the pirates who were watching just now couldn't suppress the urge to attack and shot Valery at the last moment, then Esther would also parasitize Levjet by any means, and then directly start another "cannibalism".

The brawl within the pirate group, the police came and couldn't take care of it, it was the crew and captain of the "Axe" who killed the people, and they did not violate the agreement with Mr. Yan.

Not to mention that the police in Nas were already weak, and the final incident was over.

After listening to Valery's words, Vika was finally able to completely put his mind at ease: "I thought it was really going to be over, but I didn't expect you to solve him at once, but I was so nervous before, I didn't even see what was going on." ”

Valery looked at him helplessly: "You don't think I really can't beat him, do you?" ”

"Because it looks sinister - well, I believe you!" Halfway through his words, Vika quickly changed his tune.

Esther sighed heavily.

There's nothing to dislike, this may be the first "believer" to develop directly, and there are not many people who are so stupid, bear with me......

——

A horse-drawn carriage pulled the two to a hotel west of the city.

Asther broke away from Valery's body, and let Vika carry Valery, who looked sleepy, into the hotel with her own appearance.

The coachman is quite honest, and although this "hotel between the seas" looks ordinary from the outside, you can see the spotless floor and the long table at the front desk, on which a candle is lit, mixing grease with the smell of light flowers.

Behind the bar was a lady with blond hair pulled up high, and despite her sturdy and wide frame and height than Valery and Vika, she looked very dignified.

It's just that the wrinkles on her face with wind and frost and the roughness polished by the sea breeze prove that she is not so simple.

When the lady looked down to talk to the two, her voice was not as soft as it seemed, and she even shoved half a bottle of Nepos under the table in her hand, and a little smell of wine wafted from her mouth:

"Do you want to stay in the hotel? Few days? ”

"Two nights, two single rooms."

The lady blushed from drunkenness, but very competently pointed to the slate behind her with the price of the room written on it: "We also have composite suites, which are more expensive in total, but cheaper than asking for two single rooms. ”

Esther shook her head: "Thank you, no need, just a single room." Our friends who drank too much would leave when they came to their senses. ”

"Okay, okay, whatever you want. The single room, four silver in one night, two rooms in total......"

Esther took out two gold horns from her pocket and pressed them on the table: "Almost, no need to look for it." ”

The tall lady covered her mouth and swallowed a wine burp, then turned around and took two keys to the adjacent room number from the wall behind the counter: "Okay, then I'll bring two breakfasts up for the next two days, and if you don't get up, I'll leave it at the door." ”

The lady pushed the key in front of Esther, and then picked up the two gold coins, confirmed their condition, and casually introduced:

"We don't have a lot of messy service, you go down this corridor next to it, the left-hand restaurant and the right-hand bar. The stairs are at the end, on the third floor, and look for the number on the key. ”

"Thank you."

Esther smiled brightly and nodded, before leading Vika through the hallway, as she had stolen Valery's weight, and Vika could carry it fairly easily.

Between the restaurant and the bar, there is only a half-height stone railing, and the seating areas on both sides are open.

As far as the eye can see, the matching tables and chairs are clean and neatly arranged on both sides. Only the bar area has two tables of guests, and the restaurant area is empty.

"Rest for a while, and we'll go to the Herring Tavern in the evening."

Vika took the key that Esther threw him, "So according to your speculation, the third party, the gangsters in the tavern, is planning to trouble us tonight?" ”

"yes, I don't know if they're going to fight in the store or set up an ambush outside the store." Esther gently pinched the bruised area of Valery's arms, feeling that the subcutaneous tissue was badly damaged, but she had no intention of treating it.

If Esther wanted to, she could have given up the body and let the cloak eat all the flesh and blood.

Wait for tonight, tonight to solve the group of people, a bald man is always more fearful of them than a petite lady.

When he left Naz, he found a place to bury his body.

Esther slipped in the key and turned the doorknob, and just as she was about to enter the house, Vika suddenly shouted:

"And!"

"What?" Esther had to stop.

"His hand, the injury seems to be very serious, does he really need to do something? Doesn't it affect you? ”

Esther easily set up Valery's body and dragged him into her room: "Do you want me to parasitize on you?" ”

Vika, who was standing by the door and watching, immediately closed his mouth, shaking his head so that an afterimage could appear.

Esther chuckled, "It's okay, you see, I'm not affected by anything now, huh?" The damage he takes will not fall on me. ”

Vika scratched the back of his head twice and walked into his room.

There was a little inadvertent loneliness in Esther's eyes.

She locked the door to her room and checked the cleanliness of her bed and desk.

The single rooms are not expensive, but there is a single whaleskin sewn sofa that allows people to nest on them, and the bathroom is also separate, and each room has it.

Valery was placed directly on the ground by her.

Then Esther stretched and sat down on the couch with her satchel.

She pulled out the paper and pen, but after a moment of hesitation, she crumpled the flat white paper in her hand and threw it out with her backhand.

The ball of paper made an arc in the air and rolled under the bed.

It can't be written, it can't leave any traces, and it's better not to let anyone know.

Don't ask Klein for advice, he might be very adamant against my plan at this point.

Hey, how can you make him worry......

Esther closed her eyes, her consciousness drowsy and empty, but she never fell asleep.

She didn't need to sleep.
