Chapter 140: An Inconspicuous Contradiction
As the night darkened, Valery and Vika took a horse-drawn carriage and soon reached the street where the "Herring Tavern" was located.
"Just stop here." Valery knocked on the carriage, and the driver stopped.
Vika gave the money to the coachman, and by the time he hurried down, Valery was already confronted by a few strangers.
The man at the head was sleek, with a gravel hammer in his hand, and his body was thick and thick, and he was stuck in the road like a wall.
Three other men gathered and surrounded Valery in the middle, most of them holding axes or stone hammers in their hands.
With Valery's height of one meter eight, he was even a head shorter in front of the inch-headed man, so his indifferent expression showed a little distortion:
"What the damn double door ......"
Valery whispered that the other party didn't understand, but he understood the swear words mixed in, and the inch-headed man slapped his head twice: "I forgot to say hello to you yesterday, isn't it today, just make up for it?" ā
"Then it seems that you don't have a good brain." Valery replied expressionlessly.
Being surrounded by this group of bear-like thugs made Esther feel very unhappy. Since there is no Mr. Yan here, and there are no more forces paying attention, it doesn't matter if they are killed, right?
Vika stood on the periphery, and he didn't know where he got the guts, and whispered to persuade the other party: "This gentleman, we didn't mean to disturb you, and we don't remember anything that offended you......"
"Less nonsense! Give all your money! ā
Valery and Vika looked at each other, Vika didn't understand what that smile meant, and then the next moment, Vika heard Valery say:
"The money is all on him."
Vika's face instantly turned pale as paper, and he retreated.
The inch-headed man laughed twice, and then roared viciously: "Fart! I saw you pay yesterday! Even in him, you are the one who is in charge! ā
Valery frowned and wiped the spit that splashed on his face with his cuffs:
"Then you can try, try to kill me."
The gentle smile on Valery's face made the inch-headed man stunned for a moment.
After he reacted, he smiled and waved the hammer in his hand: "You heard, he made me do it!" ā
The hammer fell horizontally, and it actually fell on the real skull, and the inch-headed man did not retain his strength at all, and under this blow, some hard objects made a cracking sound.
The man who was attacked did not resist at all, which filled the inch-headed man's heart with doubts, he had seen this man fighting the pirate during the day, he should not have been so easy-
Pain.
The blade of the axe slashed, leaving an extremely long bloody gash on the side of the face.
The moment he heard the wind, the inch-headed man instinctively tilted his head, trying to stay away from the source of the sound, and was able to avoid the axe that was slashing from the bottom to the top on his side.
"Roman! You are crazy!? The inch-headed man looked at his friend incredulously, the blood-stained axe in his hand.
"Roman" had a gentle smile on his face that frightened him, strange and inconsistent, like an illusion revealed through a mask:
"Come on, try to kill me."
Several people stepped back in unison, and no one noticed that the red cloak wrapped in Valery on the ground was trembling and wriggling.
"Roman" played with the axe in his hand with agility, and the heavy weapon flicked like a bird under his skill, circling around his palm.
"You ......"
The inch-headed man suddenly gave the other two a look, and driven by unspeakable fear, he decisively decided to flee.
It was exactly what the other two had thought, and all three turned and ran backwards at the same time.
"Roman" grabbed the inch-headed man's back with his left hand, but the axe in his right hand was thrown out with his backhand, and the heavy axe swirled in the air, hitting the back of the other man's head.
The inch-headed man's body froze, he lost the ability to control his legs in an instant, and the whole person collapsed weakly, and quickly got up, supporting his body with his elbows and crawling back.
The last man ran and ran, his mind suddenly empty, and he staggered and slowed down.
The inch-headed man clung to the hammer as if it would save his life.
"Roman" raised his hand and grabbed it again, the inch-headed man's hand became completely empty, he glanced down at his right hand in disbelief, and looked up at "Roman" in horror.
The hammer is in the hand of "Roman", turning out the spiral dance of the death prophecy.
"Wait, wait! You can't-"
The force exerted on the hammer was so great that it not only shattered, but also slammed into the head of the inch-headed man.
Gunshots rang out from the other side.
"Roman" moved his fingers, pinched the double chin of the new "vehicle", and looked indifferently at the man on the ground who no longer spoke:
"Can't I? Unfortunately, I said yes. ā
Esther turned her head just in time to see Vika put down her previously flat revolver.
He took two deep breaths, smiled embarrassedly at Esther, and pulled the revolver back into his waist.
The previous gunshot was the time when Vika seized the opportunity to shoot the thug who had been stolen from Esther's mind.
"Good job."
Esther said this to Vika, leaning down and pulling up the red cloak, the scattered skeleton falling from it, and the skull rolling to Esther's feet.
She quickly grabbed the satchel with her free other hand and carried it onto herself.
Esther threw the cloak at the inch-headed man's body, which was so easy to dispose of corpses, but it was a pity that it had to spit out bones.
Vika walked away from the cloak and approached Esther's side, "Shall we leave then?" After all, I was too reckless just now, and I shot at once, and it is likely that ......"
Before he could finish his sentence, a man hurried across the street, and was surprised to see the bones and two other corpses in the field:
"You guys! What's going on? ā
Calling out to the two was a tall, young man who had not pulled on the hood of his cloak, so that the two of them could clearly see his appearance:
The brown slightly curly hair is tied in a small ponytail at the back of the head, the appearance is sassy and angular, the dark brown eyes are unusually bright, and the eyebrows are full of high-spirited and wanton ease.
Vika looked at the young man suspiciously, "Your cloak looks a little familiar, have we seen it?" ā
"Matteo, do me a favor and borrow a bag from the bartender at the Herring Tavern, so I can find a place to bury the bones of these people."
"Matteo?" Vika's blank gaze swirled between the two.
Mattio walked over, deliberately suppressed his voice, and replied in a false voice, "Chantal." ā
Leaving Vika stunned on the spot, Matteo walked over to the other person who was standing.
Because the red cloak had run out of second meals, Esther was grabbing it and putting it on the other hapless bastard.
Matteo stood beside "Roman": "So you're Roman now?" Not Valery anymore? ā
Esther nodded: "I'll find a place to bury 'Roman' later." ā
Mattio glanced at the man on the ground, and couldn't help frowning: "They deserve it, they really deserve it." Many people have been blackmailed by them, and if they don't pay for their drinks, their homes are often destroyed. ā
Without waiting for Esther to ask, Matteo nodded his chin in the direction of the tavern, "I'll go talk to Peter, and by the way get the body bag you wanted, he'll be glad to know the news." ā
Esther let out an "um", and as the bright red cloak rolled over the last deceased, Matteo walked out of the "Herring Tavern" with several large cloth bags.
Matteo stuffed a bag into Vika, who had been stunned by the strong impact of his worldview because of the identity revealed by "Shantal" earlier.
It wasn't until there was an extra rough cloth bag in his hand that Vika barely came to his senses, and numbly followed the two to pick up the scattered bones, but his expression looked extremely sluggish.
Esther couldn't help it anymore, and called out to him helplessly: "Vika, be sober, where is your ambition to become extraordinary?" ā
Vika twisted her neck stiffly: "IāI don't want to ......"
"Don't worry, the potion recipe I told you won't turn out to be female."
Vika instantly came back to life: "That's good! ā
Matteo didn't seem to be able to see Vika's reaction, and deliberately interjected, "But extraordinary objects can also make you become a woman, you should be careful." ā
Esther glanced at Mattio amusedly, and when he returned to his original appearance, the young man was even more energetic, much better than the dazed state of the previous night.
Noticing Roman's gaze, Matteo also nodded and said, "The tickets for the two of you are also with me, in fact, three tickets." ā
"Looks like you've already decided."
Matteo's smile was unexpectedly bright: "Yes, I promised you that condition, and I will go with you to Olavi Island." ā
Vika felt that he might have slept for an extra day and a night, and why couldn't he keep up with what the two men were saying, "Wait, you're going with us too?" Why? ā
Esther bared her teeth at Vika, and this action on "Roman" was full of intimidation: "Because I made a little deal with him." ā
Vika immediately shrunk her neck: "Well, it's none of mine. ā
"Don't worry, the deal I made with him is different from yours, and it won't affect our original plan."
Matteo tossed the smooth skull in his hand twice, looked at it for a moment, and then swept his curious gaze over the cloak on Roman's shoulder before he threw the bone into the bag:
"But why are you going to Olavi Island? Peter still told me to run errands and buy a ferry ticket. I thought you would choose to go to Byam, which is more prosperous. ā
Esther frowned slightly: "There is no special reason...... It's just that since I have a ticket, I feel like I can buy it, following some kind of invisible hunch. ā
Matteo pondered: "Spiritual intuition? Do you have what it takes? So I was partially disturbed by my divination last night? ā
"Roman" just shook his head and didn't give any answer, and Matthioye didn't ask any more questions, and continued to pick up the scattered leg bones.
Esther's mind was full of doubts, since she left the Godforsaken Lands, her "spiritual intuition" had not fluctuated in any way.
Zoya was so quiet.
