Chapter 383: The Storm is Coming
The late night of the 28th was difficult for Glori. Even so, there is one more thing that is gratifying. The dinner brought by Lord Javier was good, three pancakes and half a bowl of mutton soup per person.
Although the dinner did not fill Glori's stomach, Glori was already grateful. Even, Glori left a piece of crepe. The pizza is the size of the palm of your hand, and what makes Glori care is that the ingredient is chives. A taste of home that Glorry can't let go.
The entanglement, combined with the longing, was enough to keep Glori from staying.
So, what does Leo do?
Unable to let Fiona stay, or to delay her business by thinking about something that would cause headaches, Glori gathered up the dishes on the round table. As he cleaned up, Glori said goodbye to Lord Javier.
What Glorry didn't expect was that Lord Javier was in the same hurry as the last time he "soff" Glorry to leave.
"Well, then, why don't you go? I think it's this night......"
Lord Javier swallowed the rest of the words as if he were telling a riddle. Glori was puzzled by this. Not being able to ask like a daredevil, Glori returned the cleaned dishes to the knight who delivered the meal.
Calling Fiona and carrying the basket on his back, Glori glanced at the knights waiting in the courtyard.
The waiting knight looked serious and dressed in civilian clothes...... No armor, no swords, and no badges. Glori didn't know what the knight was trying to say, but he saw a hint of worry flash in the knight's eyes. Then Glori saw the knight wink at him. As if, the knight gave Glori a reminder.
Glori nodded, not speaking to the knight guarding the courtyard.
Don't worry......
Turning around, Glori accosted Fiona, but was intended to respond tentatively to the knight in the courtyard: "Hey, we need to go faster." It's not a good night. Like, the rain is coming. β
Rain is coming.
Glori remembered what he had said, but he knew that there was no rain tonight, and that the knight who was crouching in the courtyard was looking at the night sky. Leaving the inn, the only place for Glory to go is "Kozuki".
In the middle of the night, the streets of the City of Honor are not quiet. Still, there were people running through the narrow alleys avoiding patrols. Glori and Fiona had no choice but to become members of those who fell into the trap. This time, Glori did not feel that he was walking alone in the metropolis, nor was he relieved that he was accompanied by someone around him.
Glori, all he cares about is whether Leo will show up in the second location.
Worried, in order not to worry the people around him, Glori didn't look around - his steps were still steady, but he seemed cautious.
Sometimes, Glori would want to look back at the slightest sound. However, when he caught a glimpse of Fiona on one side, Glori didn't pursue it.
Sometimes, Glori would stare around the corner ahead. However, Glori knew that the pace could not be slowed or accelerated. Because, Glori, he knew that there was a rat struggling in some dark corner behind him.
Walking down the street, avoiding all the patrols that passed, Glori stopped at a place where kerosene lamps were hung. There were two kerosene lamps - one hanging on a pine wall and one on a rock pier.
Glori knew that the store in front of him was "Kozuki".
Pushing the door again, the "small building" was crowded with people.
Unexpectedly, before he could react, Glori was invited.
"Hey, I knew you'd be back here. β
The person who spoke was Ai Dane. Aidane, holding a wooden plate. The wooden plate is full of wooden cups. Moreover, Aidan was dressed more decently than the last time. A light cotton dress with no patches...... Despite the wear on the cuffs, it doesn't mean that the clothes are old - Glori, I don't know how Adam managed to get a valuable garment.
"Hey, you look so spirited. β
Glori just said hello and gave him a hug. After receiving a smile, Glori walked around the round table and into the corner where he had been before.
Perhaps, it's time to give them some time, because the storm is coming.
Perhaps, they can't be allowed to get along for too long, and it's also because of the storm.
Glori was conflicted and didn't take the initiative to get Fiona to follow him, wanting Fiona to say a few more words to Edan En. In his hesitation, Glori called Adan again. Because, Glori knew that Edan was happy to work in the "small building". It would have been pleasant to ask Adam to helpβafter all, Adam would be happy to be busy.
"Aydane, like last time...... Wine, warm. β
By the way, Glori took out five coins and put them in a wooden saucer. Watching Adam take the saucer made Glori feel a little relieved. The bills should be clear and there should be no arrears. Glori doesn't want to owe Adam anything, but it becomes a problem when it comes to Adamne's love for Fiona.
Depressed and unbearable, Glori had no choice but to let his thoughts run away from other things.
Leo, why hasn't it shown up yet?
At this moment, the streets lit up with fires. Some chases, from far and near, arrived at the door of "Xiaozhu".
"What about the people? I see, the rats have found a new nest! I see, did the little creature run into this smelly, sour place?"
The one who spoke, Glori saw it. A medium-sized, spear-armed guard hunched over, panting as he shouted at another hunched and shorter guard.
The short-headed guard shouted, "Then why don't you go in and have a look? Why, let me do all this kind of thing? I see, we have to let the lord lock up this kind of place." β
"Shut up this kind of place, the city lord hasn't seen him all day, we don't know who he is!"
The medium-sized guard kicked him directly. So, the short guard staggered past the door. Amid the creaking of doorrails and chairs, the whole tavern fell silent.
At first, the few people who were happy to hear the noise also became dumbfounded.
The first unlucky man was the one who drank wine next to the round table at the door. Under the tugging of the short guards, the drinker did not get up. Immediately, a slap that made Adamn fall moved the drunken man.
Looking at what was happening in front of him, Glori bent forward and stretched his legs to support the gloom under the round table. As he had just thought about something, Glori realized that a figure was hidden under the round table.
"Don't be afraid ......"
"Don't let them see my ......"
"Fiona, put your cloak in order. β
"Don't, don't get up. Please...... If I get caught, I'll have to be with those monsters!"
...... Monster company?
Those, what kind of monsters?
The man who almost cried was a child of a few years old. Listening to the voices coming from under the round table, Glori didn't want to leave with Fiona. And Glori couldn't leave. If Glori gets up, the people under the round table will be out of luck. Uncloaking and placing it at the end of the round table near the hallway, Glori saw Fiona do the same.
Without accosting anyone at the round table again, Glori yelled.
"Hey, Aydane. You'll have to bring a second glass of wine. And, we paid for it. β
"Second glass?"
Aidann was stunned for a moment. Those five copper plates are not enough for two more glasses of wine...... Here, it's the City of Honor. Stunned for a moment, Aydanne was about to ask Glori.
Adamne was confused, and Glori saw it. Just now, Ai Dann must not have seen a person break in from the outside. At this point, Adynne must not know anything. Can't wait, Glori shouted again.
"Hey, what are you doing? Hurry up!"
This time, Glori was deliberately ruthless. Even, Glori slapped the table with a lot of force, attracting the attention of a group of people. However, Ai Dann only frowned because of a "snap".
"Wine?"
"Yes, it's wine...... And, it's the second cup!" replied Glori.
Hearing Glori's repeated advice, Adynne reacted. I didn't look back, and went to the counter.
"For the second drink, you have to pay. β
"Pay for the wine, you have to go first!"
Glori slapped the table again. This sound frightened Ai Dann into a daze. Even, people were puzzled - in front of the guards, a guy who dared to eat and drink for nothing jumped out! And the two guards followed along. As a result, the search of the tavern turned into an interrogation of suspicious people.
Not afraid of the guards, Glori reached under the round table and pressed the shoulder of the hiding. Glori told the people at the round table: Whatever happens, don't make a sound.
Don't make a sound!
As expected, Glori couldn't help but smile as he watched the guards walk over. By the way, he had to talk to the guards. If anger makes people forget something, then make those two guards angry. And the words that Glorry could think of were the ones he had heard in the past.
Frowning, he slapped the table for the third time, and Glori let out a rage.
"What are you looking at, sir? Look, you're nothing but hungry wolves who have lost their hares!"
"Heh, of course it's up to you...... Someone I've never seen before is going berserk in this hellish place? Yes, it's a hell of a place, but it's up to me! If you want to stir things up, you have to follow my rules!"
Medium-sized people speak more than shorter ones, and Glori can see it. According to the meaning of a medium-sized person, he had to find a place to be beaten. Because, the medium-sized man was pointing to the door.
Another fight?
Glori shook his head, out of need, and asked, "Who is the city lord here?"
"City Lord, we, no one has seen him. It's ridiculous that a commoner is inquiring about the nobles!"
As he spoke, the medium-sized man pointed at the entire tavern by the way, which was nothing short of provocative.
Glori clenched his fists.
But the kid was still hiding under the round table! Now, he had managed to divert the guards' attention, but the guards hadn't left! The easiest way to do that was to punch the guards and run away. However, will it work?
If it worked, Glori would have run for the guards. Unfortunately, Glori wasn't sure if he could get both guards to leave at the same time, and that the search for the tavern would be forgotten by the guards. The only way to do that is to keep the guards staring at you.
Straightening his back, Glori clenched his fist, not swinging at the guards, but enough to make waves. A burst of colorful light from the fist lit up the entire tavern.
Glori, speaking to the guards, said, "The person you have been trying to find day and night is right in front of you. And I'm the blue star!"
