At night, the sky is dark, and the gabled roofs are covered with thick white snow. Ice is on the corners of the eaves, and white heat is rising from the chimneys. Although it is already past eight o'clock, the white snow reflects the whole city dimly.
, I can still see my own steps.
After more than ten days of sneaking, they finally arrived at Anmoxidu. Bingzhixie and the others entered the city during the day because they saw wanted posters posted everywhere. Even if they were disguised, they were afraid of being discovered by accident, so they waited until
They came out in the evening to find out where the person they were looking for lived.
Anmosi is a large city in the western part of the Demon Moon Empire. Because of its vast territory and diverse people, the culture and customs here are very different from those in the imperial capital, and have a unique flavor.
At this time, there was heavy goose-feather snow floating in the sky, which lingered on their furs for a long time. Alice wore thick gloves and a snowshoe fur scarf around her neck.
The entire face was tucked under the scarf, leaving only the upper part of the nose and lower part of the eyebrows exposed.
Ishuson also put on his warm robe and looked around. There were not many pedestrians on the street, most of them probably stayed at home.
"After asking for so long, they all said they don't know the person you are looking for." Ishuson said: "If there is, no one knows about him. Is it possible that there is no such person here?"
Bing Zhixie didn't say anything. He was worried about this in his heart. If he was transferred, someone should know about Yihubei Rost, but after asking for so long, no one knew.
Alice tugged on Bing Zhixie's clothes: "Where are we going now? Back to the hotel?"
"No." Bingzhixie said, "I'll go to the tavern to inquire more. You and Ishusen should go back to the hotel first."
"I'm going too," Alice said.
Bing Zhixie said: "No, you have to stay in the hotel. If something happens, we can escape separately. It's easier for me to escape alone."
"Oh." Alice didn't want to affect him because of what happened last time, so she had no choice but to go back to the hotel with Ishuson.
Anmosi is also a big city, and there are naturally many pedestrians and restaurants. Many tourists who cannot afford food and accommodation in big hotels like to go to taverns to have a drink, exchange some information and exchange experiences with people passing by. This is
Although it was already evening and there were few people on the road, there were still many people in the bustling tavern. Some city dwellers would have a few drinks here and inquire about what was going on outside.
There is no such person? Bingzhixie thought: "Wasilebu wouldn't lie to me because he wanted me to leave quickly, right? But the way he looked that day didn't look like he was lying. How could Anmosi not have such a person?"
Woolen cloth?"
The Witch's Tavern is a very famous old tavern in Anmosiddu. City residents and passers-by like to have a drink here before walking. Naturally, it has become a place for information exchange.
The old wooden door of the 'Zhi Ya' Tavern was opened, and a child stood at the door and looked inside.
"Hey, look, who's here?" A big curly-haired man in front of the bar said to the child in a loud voice: "Kid, do you want to come in and listen to a story? Oh, your hair hasn't grown all yet, can you tell the story here?
Can't hear it."
There was a burst of laughter in the already lively tavern.
The woman next to the big man took a sip of the cocktail and waved to the child: "Come here, don't be afraid. If you want to hear a story, I will tell it to you. My sister has a lot of adventure experience."
The child walked over with a smile on his face: "Hello, I'm not here to hear a story, I'm here to inquire about a person, a person from the city."
"Inquiring? You have come to the right place. The witch tavern has been open in Anmos for more than a hundred years. There is no one in the city that the owner of the tavern doesn't know."
The bartender behind the bar made a glass of juice and handed it to the child: "It's not that exaggerated, kid, tell me who you are looking for?"
The child took a big sip and said, "I'm looking for someone named Yihubi Rost. Do you know?"
There were three people drinking in the corner of the tavern. When they heard that the child was looking for this person, their expressions changed immediately. One person was about to get up to catch the child, but was stopped by another person: "Don't worry, this person is not one of us.
What we are looking for must be Bing Zhixie who dares not show up and asks this child to inquire. We can find him later by following this child."
The man sat down patiently again.
"Are you looking for Ishubetti Rost?" the tavern owner asked, "Why are you looking for this person?"
"I'm looking for him... I have something to do with him, can you tell me?" the child said.
The tavern owner smiled: "Of course. You must have asked many people, and others told you that they have never heard of this person, right?"
The child didn't know if this was the case, but he nodded.
The tavern owner said: "You are really lucky to have found me here. If you ask others, no one knows about him, because there is no such person in Anmosiduli."
"What do you mean?" the child asked confused.
The tavern owner said: "This man has been anonymous a long time ago. He uses another name, Anrun Dibi."
The child said: "So that's it, then where does he live?"
"No. 7, White Hart Street, but he may not live there," the tavern owner said.
"Oh, thank you, thank you to this sister too." The child finished drinking the juice and was about to leave.
The tavern owner suddenly said: "Wait a minute, you haven't paid me yet. All information requires money."
The woman next to me said: "He is just a child and you still want money?"
The tavern owner smiled: "No matter what news, you will be charged. This has been our rule for more than a hundred years. But..." Then he turned to the child and said, "For the sake of you being a child, I will only charge you one silver coin."
.”
The woman next to her also laughed when she heard this. The curly-haired man said: "I mean, you even want a child's money, then you are really living longer and going back."
The child took out a silver coin from his pocket: "Here, thank you for the juice, it's delicious."
"You're welcome, welcome to come again next time."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After the child left, the three guys in the corner looked at each other, put down their drinks on the table and went out.
The outdoors was no better than indoors, and a bone-chilling chill suddenly hit him. The child put his hands to his mouth, took a breath of hot air and rubbed it, and then came to a dead end alley.
"I asked for the news you wanted. Where are the three gold coins you promised me... Hey, where are the people?" The child stood at the entrance of the alley. Except for the broken barrels and old cloth bags piled up in the alley, there were no people anywhere.
Seeing that the person who hired him was not here, his happy mood suddenly disappeared: "Damn liar! Are you having fun playing with me? It's really abominable, abominable, abominable, big liar, bah!" He was getting angry, and was about to leave angrily, but turned around
I turned around and saw three adults.
These three people were the three people who were looking for Bing Zhixie in the tavern. One of the women said: "Don't be afraid, kid. I want to ask you if someone hired you to find out about the person named Yihubei Rost in the tavern."
?”
"Yes." The child said angrily: "He promised to give me three gold coins and wait for my news here, but you see, he disappeared. How disgusting!"
Another impatient person grabbed the child and asked, "Do you know where he went?"
"Let me go, let me go." The child was hurt by his hold and shouted repeatedly.
The third man persuaded his partner to let go, took out a wanted poster from his arms and asked: "Is he the person who is looking for you? Do you know where he is?"
The child looked at the poster and shook his head: "I don't know."
"What don't you know?" the woman in charge asked.
The child said: "I don't even know. The man who hired me was wrapped in a black robe. I don't know if it was him, but he looked like an adult. I don't know where he went. If I knew, I would have looked for him."
I need money."
"Oh." The woman in front of him pondered for a while. The man in black robe might also be dressed as Bing Zhixie.
"Hey, what is this?" The impatient man found something under an old cloth bag full of things. He took it out and saw that it was three gold coins.
The child shouted: "This is mine, he gave it to me, give it back to me." He jumped up and grabbed it.
The third person was moved in his heart and shouted: "Oh no, he's in the tavern!"
Bing Zhixie, who was wearing makeup, drank the last sip of champagne, put down her coins and left the Witch Tavern.
The three people who were looking for Bing Zhixie quickly arrived at No. 7 Bailu Street, but there was no trace of Bing Zhixie.
The impatient man looked around in the snow and said, "No one is there? What's going on?"
This is a large mansion, and there are no other people's footprints in front of the mansion.
The woman said to the third person: "Go and ask the brothers watching around to see if there is anyone suspicious passing by here."
After waiting for a while, the impatient person said: "I don't know why the people in the empire just don't agree to transfer him? Since he will be in danger, we should take him elsewhere. Let us set a trap to catch the ice here.
Wouldn't it be better for Zhixie? Now we have to secretly protect him, look for clues to catch Bing Zhixie, and find ways to find the princess. It's really too passive."
"Stop talking nonsense. Do you know who the person here is? He is the biological brother of Queen Athena."
"The emperor...the queen's brother~!"
The woman said: "Yes, so don't complain. I know a little bit about what's going on here. The reason why I didn't get this person away is because the people here don't want to leave."
"Why? Is it so difficult for him not to know that it is dangerous now?"
The woman shook her head: "He insisted on staying in Anmosido and refused to leave until he died. It is said...it is said that he was terminally ill and would not live long. You know some people, before they died, did not leave where they lived.
place."
"That's right~!" The impatient person stopped talking.
Not long after, the third person came back and shook his head: "No suspicious person passed here."
"Oh!" The woman lowered her head and said, "Did we miscalculate that the person who hired the little boy was not in the tavern, but had to leave due to some accident?"
The third person thought for a while and shook his head: "Not necessarily. Maybe he knew that we would come over and that there would be an ambush here, so he didn't act rashly. This guy really has some brains and is not that easy to deal with."
When Bing Zhixie returned to the hotel, he did not go to No. 7 Bailu Street. Just as the three people had guessed, he knew there would be an ambush waiting for him there, so he could not act rashly. It was better to plan and act first.
