Alex was dissatisfied.

Like Dalgnan, she arrived in the middle of the night and rested for the night before entering the Herseus Valley.

With that badge, she had her way through the road, and the guards and sentries were very respectful of her. But no matter what, the hateful half-elf ranger couldn't be found, and even the staff of the town office were confused, not knowing where the deputy head was hiding.

"You're here, there's a guy named Illo, right?" After tossing and turning all morning, Alex began to become suspicious. Could it be that she heard it wrong at the time? Or did that guy lie nonsense and deceive her pure feelings?

"Yes," explained the clerk on duty, a well-behaved girl, in a gentle voice, "but we have just looked, and Deputy Head Illo is probably not in the valley. ”

"But he clearly said that he would wait for me here in the next few days. Alex raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction and complained loudly, causing everyone else in the office to turn their heads.

In the orderly hall, this angry female warrior did seem a little incongruous. All around her were weak magicians or apprentices, all looking at her curiously, talking about something.

These whispers naturally can't escape the killer's keen ears. Words such as "negative person" and "abandoned" made Alex stunned for a moment, and immediately became angry and glared back viciously.

It wasn't until everyone honestly withdrew their gazes that she snorted proudly. Then they continued to shout and scream for them to hand over the liar Illo at once.

The unbearable staff almost turned over the river valley, and finally invited the dwarf Hoel, only to find out the half-elf ranger hiding in the Stone Tooth Tribe.

"You're in trouble," before leaving. Hoel jumped up, patted Illo on the shoulder, and said sympathetically, "I've never seen such a fierce woman when I've grown so big." ”

"Go, go," Illo waved his hand in annoyance. The dwarf waited for the dwarf to walk away before turning around and asking, "Why did you come so early?"

"Bring it. Alex didn't have the patience to talk nonsense, so he just reached out. All morning, no matter how good her temperament is, she will be provoked, and her personality is not very docile.

"What the ......" was nearly noon, and they were still standing under the eaves at the entrance of the office, surrounded by a constant flow of people. Many of them greeted the half-elves with a smile when they passed by. This kind of embezzlement of public property is not wanted to be carried out in public. He pondered for a moment, then diverted the subject, "By the way, you haven't eaten lunch yet, have you?"

Not only did he not eat lunch, but even breakfast, Alex didn't have time to enjoy it. This is one of the reasons why she is so grumpy. But even though her stomach was growling with hunger, she still subconsciously retorted. "I'm not hungry at all, give me something. ”

"Alright, alright," Illo suddenly had a headache feeling the curious gazes of the pedestrians around him, their state at this time. It's really like a couple who are quarreling and angry, thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill all over his body, and hurriedly comforted, "I'll find a quiet other party." How about you dinner, how about we talk while we eat?"

"Who are you with us?" Alex snorted softly, disdainful of being in company. However, looking at the endless crowd around her, she still made a concession, "Then ...... Let's go. ”

"This rain ......" The rain outside the eaves gradually dipped again, and Illo motioned for her to wait for a moment, then turned into the office hall behind her, and before long, she walked back with an oilcloth umbrella.

"There is only one umbrella left unused," the half-elf explained embarrassedly, "the restaurant is not far from here, you will stop for the time being." ”

"You're drenched. Alex glanced at him, snatched the umbrella with his hand, opened it casually, and strode into the rain.

Irlo scratched his head in a daze, and didn't catch up, just stood there, waiting with a determined face.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Alex to rush back in stride at the same speed, frowning and asking, "By the way, which direction is the restaurant you are talking about?"

Illo laughed dryly, squeezed under the umbrella, and pointed, "There's a good restaurant over there." ”

A few minutes later, the two walked side by side, to the restaurant that the half-elf said was "not bad".

The buildings in the town were built in the last two years, including the shops on both sides of the street. But what is commendable is that this restaurant, which does not even have a signboard, has quickly created a smoky atmosphere, and even the cotton curtain that has not had time to be removed reveals an old greasy smell.

"Come in, please. Illo took the initiative to open the curtain for him, and half of his body was wet from the rain due to Alex's secret exclusion along the way.

"Is there anyone who would open a restaurant like this?" Alex asked casually, hanging an oilcloth umbrella on a wooden peg in the narrow porch.

According to her observations along the way, most of the shops in the town are located on both sides of the main street. This is because shops that have nothing to do with magic have difficulty getting through the guò office's qualifications, so the number of existing shops is not large, not even enough to fill the empty spaces around the main street. And hiding in the depths of a winding alley like this one is even rarer.

"Illo, who is this?" asked a young man about fifty or sixty years old from behind the low bar. He was not tall in stature, but he was very generous, and his voice was like thunder, which shook people's ears and buzzed.

"My friend, Miss Alex," Illo introduced with a smile, then turned and asked, "Come, this way." ”

The restaurant is empty except for the owner, so there is no need for any private rooms. What's more, Alex deeply doubted that there was no such high-end facility here.

The two sat down at the table by the window, Alex casually spreading his legs, moving his aching joints. Fortunately, the wooden tables and chairs are still clean, and there is a faint fragrance of logs, which is obviously not long in time.

"It's hard to find this kind of wood," said Illo, smugly, noticing that she was checking the wood grain on the tabletop, "or I'll ask some old friends to transport it from the mountains." ”

Alex naturally didn't know that this so-called old friend was a group of strong ogres.

"What do I want?" she asked bluntly, as she took out a small cloth bag from her bosom and threw it on the table casually, and there was a crisp crashing sound.

Behind the bar, the ears of the originally lazy little old man suddenly stood up. (To be continued......)
