After standing on the roof and observing for a while, I realized that the thugs standing at the door actually did nothing to control access. They probably just maintained order and sent away some troublemakers. As long as someone wanted to enter, they wouldn't even stop them.
Let anyone drive in.
Lin thought for a while, then used the flash technique to fall into the dark alley, put away his magician's shawl, and changed his image a little. Although he had never learned professional disguise, he could change his hairstyle and change his appearance.
Dressing up is still possible.
When everything was ready, I naturally mustered up the courage to break into the Dragon Pond and the Tiger's Den. Of course, it was not because I had never been before that I was interested in such a place.
After successfully passing two strong orcs guarding the door, Lin walked into a place filled with choking smoke and full of waiters. There was only one word for his impression: dirty.
Compared with the top nightclubs on earth, the environment here is as bad as a beggar's den. Anyone with some sense of style will not enter such a place, no matter how weird the gameplay is. But in the Lost Land, this is a noble place.
Where we will come.
Although I had never been to a place like this before I traveled through time. But with the knowledge I gained from various movies, TV shows, and animation works, if I open a top-notch hotel in a mysterious land, I can’t say that I can make a lot of money, but at least I can make a lot of money.
People are flocking to it.
But those random thoughts were not the purpose of today. In the crowd, Lin quickly saw the figure of the fat noble man. He was large and particularly conspicuous. But where the other party walked in, there seemed to be guards to block the other people.
Behind the curtain, the situation inside is vaguely visible. But it feels like it's not that easy to get close to or sneak into.
After a little observation of the surroundings, there is no place for people to drink alone here. And because I am single, a waitress has already taken the initiative to come over. Since the risk of exposure is high if I continue to investigate, and there is no quiet place to cast a spell for investigation,
So Lin simply pretended to be casual and walked into a curtain somewhere, then flashed away.
The pretty waitress followed someone's footsteps and walked behind the curtain, but she didn't see anyone. She hesitated for a moment, wondering if she had seen it wrong. She glanced left and right to make sure she couldn't see anyone.
The queen then gave up and went straight to find the next customer.
Even if you don't smoke those big cigarettes, you will be a little confused or slow in thinking after staying in such a place for a long time. It's not a big deal to see some strange images. So the waitress simply didn't think about it in detail.
The figure seen.
Returning to the last roof he reached, Lin observed the roof of the brothel from a distance. There were several thugs patrolling the roof, looking heavily guarded. He turned his head and looked in the other direction, which was the location of Hakiri.
Generally speaking, it is a magic positioning method used to recover the marked object, but it can also be used in reverse to make oneself flash to the side of the marked object. And that place should be the current location of Fen and his group. Without thinking too much, Lin
Disappears on the roof and flashes back to his companions.
"Hey, I'm back. Have you gained anything?"
As soon as someone appeared, the Lich noticed it. Lin took the time to look at his surroundings. This place was already indoors, and the flames of the fireplace heated the whole room.
The two apprentices, who had been busy since preparing to leave the ship, are still busy now. One is packing things, and the other is preparing dinner. After receiving the news that their teacher has returned, the two girls deliberately avoided it. It seems that they are still there.
Sulking about what happened earlier.
Someone who was completely unaware sat down and poured himself some water to quench his thirst. Fen's question was not just a casual social statement. Guessing that someone was leaving, it was probably to go.
She followed the noble who was looking for trouble. Then when he came back, it was natural for her to ask questions.
But when asked about the results, someone only shook his head and said: "I didn't find anything definite, at most there are some guesses."
"Oh, tell me." Fen asked.
"I followed the group of people all the way to a brothel. After I followed them, I circled around and saw them entering a guarded place. In order to avoid being exposed, I did not try to follow them, but retreated.
come out."
A very simple statement, but in exchange for a group of people's distrust, or contemptuous eyes. Lin felt confused and asked: "What's wrong? Why do everyone look at me like this?"
"Here, be good, take it." Fen handed over the box.
Someone took it easily, but asked with a confused look on his face: "What's wrong? It's just sitting next to you, why do you insist on me holding it?"
"You don't want to take it? Well, come back." Fen stretched out his hand and asked for the weapon.
Someone who was confused about the situation originally wanted to put the sword aside, but since Fen reached out his hand, he handed it over. He didn't forget to ask one more question: "What's wrong..."
The lich who took the sword immediately squatted to the side with the two apprentices who suddenly put down their affairs. He asked Haggiri in a low voice, "What exactly did that man do in the brothel? Tell me."
... After figuring out what these three women were up to, Lin couldn't help but said angrily: "What can I do in just a few minutes after I go in and out!"
"That's right, he didn't do anything." Haggiri praised, but said with emotion: "Ah, he is such a boring holder, there is nothing to arrest him."
Fen asked: "Is it true?"
"Not really. What he did behind your back is more stupid than bad. It's nothing to mention. It's not like the holders I met before who always did it in secret no matter how upright they were.
Some burning, killing, looting, or the kind where he can't control his lower body. It's really boring. But having said that, his delusions and dark history are amazing, and his blindness reaches the limit. Are you interested in knowing?
"
Without waiting for the three women to reply, Lin first used the flash technique to take Hakakiri back from their hands. Staring at the weapon in his hand, he said, "Why didn't I know you were so wicked before?"
"Is that so? This can be regarded as the private fun of my family." A certain sword said proudly.
Finally, there was still someone who remembered the business. Fen whispered to Shakiri: "I'll ask you in detail later." Then he turned around and asked someone seriously: "What did you say about that group of people just now?"
To be honest, there is nothing someone can do with such an exaggeratedly hard guy in my opponent. So I can only throw it aside with dissatisfaction and answer Qi Fen’s question: "Because I can’t confirm whether the other person has connected with other people, so I don’t know.
Who is the person behind the scenes? If there is a mastermind behind the scenes, there is a high chance that the trouble this time was premeditated; rather than those people who are used to running rampant and just happened to meet us on the dock."
"How do you determine this?" When talking about business, Fen asked with a serious expression.
"If they meet the other party by chance, then after being treated like that, there is a high chance that they will choose to go back to the place where they can find the most help, that is, their own home. If they choose a place other than home,
It means that they trust that place more than their own family, or that it is the place that ordered them to do this, so they have to report the results."
"According to what you said, there are two possibilities. Why do you think the other party has premeditated it?"
"Because of the location."
"Place? You mean the brothel?"
"Yes. It is impossible to meet his father in that kind of place. No matter what the fat man wants to meet, it is a nobleman with a higher status than him, or a person with stronger strength than him, or someone with a brain better than him.
He is an easy-going peer. In short, in such situations, it is easy to stimulate him to do some irrational behavior. For example, he goes to find trouble with two magicians. But what is not clear yet is whether this group of people understand
We don’t quite understand our strength, so we made such a provocation, so we picked an insignificant person to try our luck; or at least one of them knew very well, so they sent a person with no brains to test our attitude.
.”
Although everyone was busy, only two official magicians were chatting leisurely, but everyone still pricked up their ears and paid attention to the conversation between them. And Uzov, who stayed in the same hotel, this
Shi interjected: "Sir, did the brothel you went to have any conspicuous signs or marks? Do you still remember it?"
Remembering that there was a sign similar to a sign at the door of that building, Lin used the magic whiteboard pen technique to draw the sign out of thin air. He also added colors along the way.
Uzov looked at the mark, thought for a while, and then said: "This is the mark of Qingying, which is a very commonly used mark to represent a brothel. But this mark is not like any large underground brothel I know.
organization, so it shouldn’t be a territory controlled by a big shot. If that’s the case, I think the other party is just a group of small nobles who have never seen much of the world, and they are desperate to find trouble. In my past travels, I really
I have met many noble children like this."
After pondering for a moment, Lin asked Uzov: "Do you think it's possible that the people behind the scenes just pushed the fat man out as a victim? If we had reacted too violently before and killed each other, they would have just improved the entire situation.
, using higher powers to cause larger-scale conflicts."
"Haha, Your Excellency, if we were still in the military country, I dare not say that the situation you imagined would never happen. But this is just a small country. Even if we use the power of the whole country, it will at most cause you a little trouble. Even if they are behind
There are big nobles from other countries, no matter how much they contribute, the extent is limited. Because these small countries exist between the two empires, the current balanced situation can be said to be the result of the tacit consent of both empires. If there are too drastic changes, or
Interference by the great nobles on either side may trigger unnecessary reactions from the other side, and then a border conflict will not be able to resolve the matter."
In other words, think of this place as a third world country under the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. No matter how large the scale of the war, it is at most two guerrillas fighting against each other, and it is impossible to escalate it to the level where the people behind it are fighting shirtless.
So the best thing to do is to remain unchanged in response to all changes. Too much and too big a reaction will make the people hiding behind look down upon it. If it is really just a small group of people jumping up and down, this kind of inaction is easy.
Let the other party take advantage of it. When the time comes, just slap him to death. That's okay.
