34. The accident of the city guard
[There is a feeling that the water has washed the Dragon King Temple, and my family is beating my own family......]
After getting information about last night's attacker from Saris, Aisha quickly figured out the identity of the man - unlike Saris, who had only fought with the other party, Aisha's precious apprentice Lynn had completely flaunted the fact that she had accidentally made a friend to the master who had "few friends".
Salis was trembling and regarded him as an enemy, but Aisha knew that the girl named "Xia" would never really be a member of an evil organization - as the "salesmen" of the Void, the selection requirements of those strange little guys were very strict, at least, even if the vicious ones could bring more changes to the world, they would never be able to use them as contractors. You must know that if the contractors commit some crimes that maliciously disrupt the operation of the world, the ultimate responsibility will be attributed to their superiors......
As for what could be a member of an unknown evil organization...... Aisha is not worried. You must know that the black and white standard itself is very idealistic, just like a certain disciple of the Sword Emperor, neither can be defined as a "bad person" nor simply classified as a "good person", in short, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.
Having said that, this incident still made Aisha a little embarrassed - if it weren't for Lin's natural resistance, even if she found out early, she would have to peel off her skin fiercely, right? The young man named "Xia" is really good at his skills...... Well, the degree of ghost animals that created creatures is not low.
[It's a pity, if you want to integrate into the life of a normal person, an existence like Angul can't let her stay by her side all the time, after all, it's too eye-catching...... Otherwise, if Angul is brought with him this time, the other party should be able to detect Lin's existence, right? Forget it, there are no serious consequences anyway......]
Aisha shook her head, banishing the distractions out of her brain.
Although Zhilu said that the guys hidden in the shadows here may have a relationship with some mysterious power, since the collaborator is not a threat to Aisha and Lin, Aisha is naturally much more relieved.
It is more important to solve the problem of living expenses in the future......
β......β
Standing in front of her pre-rented shop, Aisha twitched the corners of her eyes and remained silent.
It seems that at that time, he fooled Dispel into working as a coolie for himself - but Aisha did not take into account the aesthetics of this passive, desperate young man, and now what Aisha is presented to is a strange shop full of decadent style.
"The vibe...... Ah, you think I'm a witch selling potions, right?"
Anyway, for the little pot friends who often fall asleep listening to bedside stories, this shop is definitely one of the last shops they want to go near - because it is exactly the same as the witch's horror hut in the story!
However, in a sense, to be able to decorate an ordinary storefront like this, Disper's artistic cells are still worthy of recognition.
"Forget it, anyway, there is nothing in the things I want to sell that attracts little pot friends...... Just think of it as an advertising benefit he provides for free, not to mention the rest, it is sure to attract attention. β
Aisha reluctantly removed the wooden planks in front of the shop and began to set them up.
Since the style of the entire store has been made mysterious, I am afraid that the customers who are attracted here will have more demand for potions and other things than enchanted weapons, right?
Looking at the mysterious and dangerous aura that was about to come out of this place, Aisha could probably have imagined how much enthusiasm someone had invested at that time - but unfortunately there was a subtle mistake in the direction.
Luckily, it's not too far...... If he had planned to sell pancakes, he would have wanted to strangle Dispel now.
"If you really can't do it, go to that 'War Girl' and buy some daggers and short swords and other equipment, I feel that this kind of small weapon is more suitable...... It's okay, it's still early anyway. β

"Ahh......h
When she came to the "War Girl", unexpectedly, Aisha only saw the shopkeeper uncle who exuded a sad atmosphere, and the vitality blacksmith lady did not appear - after asking, she realized that Lin had been here before.
"Ah, very lively and joyful child, although he looks only a few years younger than you, but there is a feeling of crossing two age groups. β
"It's harassment, and it's dangerous for women to talk about anything about age......"
Aisha picked up a long sword lying on the weapon rack and looked at it carefully, and after a while, sighed and put it back on the shelf.
The production process is very good, and it can be said that it has reached a level close to first-class in all aspects, but it is ......
"Sure enough, you can still see that her works have some flaws in the past few days. β
The shopkeeper's uncle is also very helpless about this.
A craftsman like Lisa, although she can be said to be very good in terms of technique, is still very young after all, and she is still very immature in terms of psychology and spirit, and it is easy to cause mental fluctuations after being influenced by the outside world.
"Words for the last two days...... Is it really because of that day?"
That's all Aisha can think of.
"Well, if it were just this incident, it wouldn't have had much impact on this forgetful child...... It's just that, after all, it's still a child, and it's inevitable to care about the opinions of the people around you. β
When the other party said this, Aisha could somewhat understand what he was referring to.
γRumors......
There will be no shortage of things to catch the wind and catch the shadows and criticize in vain. For many people, these things can be regarded as after-dinner conversations, but for Lisa, these people have inadvertently been hurt a lot.
"Worried about her?"
"It's impossible to say you're not worried, ......right? If I were to say it, it wouldn't be of any use - children of this age are very fond of drilling the horns of the bull, and you know this too, right?"
Although Aisha agrees with the uncle's statement, she is a little dissatisfied - according to his tone, it seems that she has been sure that Aisha is not as young as she looks, which makes Aisha a little dissatisfied.
"If so, can I ask you for something?"
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke to Aisha: "My daughter Lisa usually doesn't like to play with her peers, and she rarely even steps out of this door...... And this time, I am unusually willing to go out with your disciple, I thought, can you let your disciple accompany Lisa for more than these two days?"
"I mean, if the other mages were the other mages, they would have rushed up and grabbed you by the collar. β
Let your disciples give up their precious time to play instead of delving into the mysteries of magic...... It's just unbearable!
However, it seems that this shopkeeper uncle seems to have a good grasp of the psychology of the mages, and before he mentioned this, it is absolutely impossible that he did not think about the reaction of the other party, especially the reaction of a mage. Since he still did it, it means that he is actually very sure that Aisha will not interfere much with this kind of thing, right?
"Yes, but in that case......" Aisha took out a silver coin and threw it on the table, "Then you can only use the price of one silver coin for my shopping today~"
"I can't thank ...... enough"
Aisha waved her hand at the other party's gratitude and respect, showing that she didn't care: "You should thank not me but my disciple, what'......s the use of thanking me? If you can, you'll need some arrows. β
"The dagger is fine, but the arrows are ......," a hint of embarrassment flashed across the shopkeeper's face, "we don't have any more arrows here - they were all bought by the city guards early this morning." β
What do these people do when they buy arrows?
Why, in a city like this, the city guards can't be short of military weapons, unless, is it because something has happened recently that the use of arrows far exceeds the supply?
"O city guards...... That's a real nuisance. β
Aisha's exclamation also resonated with the shopkeeper's uncle: "There have been a lot of incidents recently, not to mention me, even some ordinary people can feel that the atmosphere is not quite right recently, right?"
"When the sky falls, there are always tall people on top, this city is very special, and the upper echelons are very careful about this place, so don't worry, they have to be cautious about everything that happens here......"
[I just hope that none of this is "inevitable". γ
Aisha had a faint premonition in her heart.
And the mage's hunch ...... You can't ignore it.
