281 Blue Butterfly
Most of the time, a top hitman's instincts are very accurate.
To be precise, he thinks there will be a traffic jam, then there will be a traffic jam.
Now, for example, while Allegri's carriage struggles to move through the busy streets, Dalgnan can spend his time in the distance, and has plenty of time to browse the busy stalls that follow one after another along the street.
"This ...... How do you sell this thing?" In front of him was a bunch of red and half-green fruits, which should also be one of the local specialties, but as the "Ice Orchid Blade" of the top killer, he rarely had time to understand this kind of knowledge on weekdays, and he hesitated for a long time, but he didn't know what to call these fruits, so he could only mumble vaguely and ask the stall owner.
"This is a local specialty honey fruit, two copper coins," the stall owner was a smiling old man, who hurriedly stretched out his hand to greet him, "Mr. can choose by himself, not sweet and no money." As he spoke, he handed over a so-called honey fruit, and urged Dalgnan to taste it.
......Dalgnan was a little embarrassed by the enthusiasm of the stall owner, who certainly didn't really want to buy the fruits, and asked for the price just to hide that he was following others, and even, when he was wandering around the world, he rarely ate food that had not been tested for safety.
"Sir, come, try one," the stall owner had a very good impression of the good-looking outsider in front of him, and strongly invited, "This is all grown by the old man, and the taste is absolutely good." ”
"Good...... bar. Dargnan, who was so gracious, finally nodded and reached out to take the honey fruit. In such a small city, there should be very few people who can recognize himself, let alone a stall that he picked at random on the street. The possibility that someone else would design to frame you can be completely ruled out.
Finger twisting honey fruit, Dargnan tentatively took a small bite, and after a little taste, a rich sweetness welled up from the subtle sourness, which made him nod his head again and again.
Seeing that he was happy to eat, the stall owner couldn't help but ask with a smile. "Well, I didn't lie to you, did I?"
"The boss is right, this fruit is indeed sweet and sour," it has reached this point, Dargnan really does not have enough skin thickness to turn around and leave, he hesitated for a moment, but still said in a loud voice, "Please fill me with some." ”
"How much do you want, sir?" said the boss, taking a straw basket and filling it with honey fruits. I asked while looking up.
"How many?" Seeing that the boss had already loaded dozens of fruits, Dargnan hurriedly waved his hand, "Alright, these are enough." ”
The probe took the net basket handed over by the boss, and while he took out the money bag in his arms, he subconsciously turned his head to look at the location of the carriage just now, and couldn't help but feel anxious.
After his delay, the traffic has gradually cleared. Allegri's carriage was moving away from its original position, and it wasn't slow.
He was a little anxious. But in the eyes of the stall owner, all he saw was the customer touching in his arms, his face changing, but he didn't take out anything.
"This ......" This outsider is dressed properly, and he doesn't look like a master who has no money to cheat and eat, the elderly stall owner secretly wondered in his heart. Pondering the wording, he tentatively said, "Is it sir...... If that's the case, ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Dargnan had already dropped a few coins in his hand, and without making any reply, he stepped in another direction. From a distance, his gait seemed very soothing. But in the blink of an eye, his figure completely disappeared into the flow of people, and there was no trace of him again.
Only a few yellow gold coins were shining seductively not far away, and it was more than enough to buy his entire stall.
"The boy in the back has been with us for a while," Illo pushed Ellen Elendil's body to the back of the car to cover it, and then returned to the driver's position, turning back and saying, "He began to keep an eye on us when we were inspected at the city gates, and since then he has been not far behind, not far away. ”
"You mean, the guy with the long knife and a blue butterfly embroidered on the corner of his cloak?" Allegri confirmed, reflecting for a moment.
"That's right," Illo said with a blank look back, lowering his voice, "You see, he's still pretending to be shopping, and he seems to be a cunning veteran." ”
"I don't know what his purpose is?" Allegri mused, "Blue Butterfly...... Do you remember anyone who used this pattern as a symbol?"
"That's a lot," Illo shrugged and laughed, "roses, butterflies, tulips...... Patterns like this are the favorite of sullen young people, and if you go to a country like the Torm Federation, where mercenaries gather, you won't be able to walk ten steps and you will see a little guy with a swagger embroidered with a pattern like this. ”
"No, I don't always feel like he's the superficial guy you call him," Allegri frowned, and Dargnan gave him a sobering feeling, "This guy looks like he's supposed to be a fighter, right?"
"Warrior, is it because of the long knife he has in his hand?" Illo reminded, shaking his head, "Have you noticed that at the gate of the city he was inspected at the checkpoint and handed over the long knife, there was no hesitation at all, a true warrior could hardly show such an indifference to his weapon, and he held the knife in such a casual manner, it was difficult to draw his weapon to meet the enemy at the first time......
"You mean, he's just disguised as a warrior?" Allegri nodded in understanding, he didn't have the keen sense of observation as Illo, but as long as Illo saw it, it was equivalent to him seeing it. And for Illo's inference, he is also very convinced.
"Don't forget, you're often disguised as a warrior, and he might have that kind of bad taste," Illo explained with a smile as he looked back again, "Judging by his footwork and body movements, he should be an agile physical professional, maybe he is really a warrior, but that long knife is definitely not his usual weapon." ”
"Forget it, this kind of thing can't be solved for a while, let's go find a hotel to rest first," Allegri waved his hand, deciding to ignore it for the time being, "As long as you take strict precautions, he won't be able to take advantage of it." ”
"This is a mistake, the open gun is easy to dodge, and the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, how do you know when he will launch it?" The half-elf said solemnly, but his eyes were full of eagerness,
"Look at me and pull him up directly to expose this guy's true colors. (To be continued......)
