595. Exposure whereabouts

 In front of a street food stall

Kagelcoward bought a baked wheat pancake piled with pea puree and cheese. The stall owner joked enthusiastically and sprinkled some vanilla crumbs on his pancake. He put it in an iron bucket next to the stall.

There is also free red cabbage soup, but the stall does not provide portable containers. You can only drink these free soups unless you bring your own bucket or borrow a few public wooden bowls from the stall owner in front of the stall.

A large portion of baked wheat cake with mashed peas, one quarter of a wheat cake, topped with a layer of mashed peas and a layer of cheese, only costs fifteen copper plates.

If you want to add bacon or sausage, you have to pay the stall owner ten more copper coins.

This style of breakfast is very common in the winter in Bena City. If you eat breakfast as late as possible, you can save lunch and just have dinner to spend a long day.

As a demon hunter, Cagel Coward's business this year was not good. Fortunately, he took a few orders at the beginning of the year and saved a little money. Starting from the summer, the news of the Red Dragon Treasure was like a flurry of news.

Like a depth bomb, the peaceful Bena City was turned upside down. Almost all the most famous adventure groups and mercenary groups that had been dormant in Bena City took action, boarding the magic airship flying to Helensa City, heading for Pag

Looking for the legendary dragon-slaying magic weapon in the Los Mountains.

Kagelcoward inexplicably became a member of the treasure-hunting army and went to Hellanza City at his own expense. Before winter, he took a magic airship from Hellanza City and rushed back to Bena City, except for the luggage he carried with him.

I didn't bring anything back.

There was no income for nearly half a year, which had a huge impact on Kagelcovod's life.

Since the rent has not been paid for half a year, the landlady has rented the house to a young couple.

That night when he returned to Bena City, Kagelkovo stood outside the yard and saw the curtains in the bedroom shaking constantly. He thought a thief had entered the house, so he kicked open the door that was locked from the inside.

He opened the door and rushed into the room with dirty long leather boots. He just happened to see two white-striped chickens clinging to each other by the bedroom window, looking at Kagel Coward, the uninvited guest, with a horrified expression.

Then screams, fights, scolds, insults, and cries came from the house. The landlady's son happened to be a knight in the Bena City guard camp.

After Kagorkovo beat the young couple severely, he lived in a prison cell in the guard camp for half a month before being released.

A demon hunter like him who has no real estate cannot be regarded as a citizen of Bena City, but can only be regarded as a wanderer. Therefore, there are almost no human rights in Bena City.

Now because he has a bad record of breaking into private houses, the housing rental union has put a big red cross on his name. He can't rent a house in Helensa at present. Does he have any friends or relatives who can seek refuge?

I can stay in a relatively cheap small hotel.

The main reason why he did not leave Bena City is that only in such a big city can he receive some commissioned tasks for demon hunters. Unfortunately, winter has entered the off-season for commissioned tasks. Kagel Coward

I have never been able to receive a serious commission, so I basically can only stay in the hotel. The gold coins in my pocket slowly turn into silver coins. I can only eat some cheap street food on the street every day. Fortunately, I can drink a sip of red.

Vegetable soup can warm the stomach.

Kagelcoward was standing on the side of the road, bending down to scoop out a bowl of red cabbage soup from a steaming iron bucket. A magic caravan slowly passed by. The moment he raised his head, he happened to see the window.

Those charming black-purple eyes.

He was slightly startled, and subconsciously flashed in his mind that the woman in the car was so beautiful, and she seemed to have been looking at him just now.

Kagelcoward looked towards the magic caravan with the soup bowl in hand, and saw the woman looking at him again through the rear window.

He wanted to catch up, but was stopped by the stall owner.

The stall owner pointed to the wooden bowl in Kagelkovo's hand and said: "Keep the bowl!"

Kagelcoward smiled apologetically, and quickly drank the beetroot soup in the wooden bowl. Then he put the wooden bowl back on the wooden stand aside, turned around, and strode through the crowd towards the place.

A magic caravan chased after him. At this time, when there were the most people on the street, Kagelcoward ran forward a few steps in the crowd and watched the magic caravan disappear into the traffic.

For the next few days, Kagorkovo would wait in front of the scone stall in the morning. After filling his stomach, he would watch the magic caravans coming and going on the street.

Several times, the knights from the guard camp saw him standing on the street and wanted to cause trouble for him, but they had no reason to give up in the end.

On the afternoon of the fifth day, Kagelcoward had exhausted his last bit of patience. He spat into the flower pond on the roadside and wanted to go around the mercenary union to see if there was anything suitable for him to pick up.

Task.

He walked along the street to the intersection, turned left along the sidewalk, and saw a carriage coming out of the alley on the left. A beautiful face was reflected in the glass window, except that the complexion was a little gray.

, everything else is perfect.

Kagelcoward's heart was boiling with excitement, and he could hardly breathe with excitement. He strode towards the magic caravan and chased it. Seeing that the magic caravan was about to disappear into the traffic, he quickly jumped onto a roadside vehicle.

The parked magic caravan threw a silver coin to the coachman and hurriedly said to him: "Follow the magic caravan in front."

The coachman raised his whip, and the magic caravan quickly merged into the traffic...



Aphrodite has been in a good mood these two days. Bena City is at least ten times larger than Helensa City, and there are many places to hang out.

Every day she would rent a magic caravan and leave the hotel in the morning, wandering aimlessly on the streets of Bena City. When she saw interesting buildings or novel places, she would stop the carriage and start her day from here.

journey.

Aphrodite didn't even know the name of this small square. She just thought that the maze made of shrubs and low walls in the square seemed very interesting, so she asked the coachman to stop, threw a silver coin to the coachman, held up her skirt, and

Walking into the square with brisk steps.

In winter in Bena City, women always wear hoods when going out.

There are many women like Aphrodite who wear a veil, so she does not look very special in the crowd. There are many people in the square, and many women stand outside the low shrub wall, waiting for the children to exit the maze.

Everyone came out and chatted lively. The women were obviously not interested in this maze with shrubs and low walls. Only a group of children kept running in from the entrance.

Aphrodite didn't go in, she just walked around the low shrub wall and took a look around.

The sun was shining brightly at noon, but the gusts of north wind still made the temperature in the square a bit cold. Several children squatted behind the low wall. In front of them stood an older child, who was looking through the children's pockets one by one.

Most of the children's pockets were empty. Only one boy was covering his pocket nervously. The older child looked over alertly. He bent down and opened the child's fingers, and took out a few candies and candies from his pocket.

Three copper plates.

"Give me back... the big bad guy!"

The boy found that the candy and money in his pocket had been snatched away by the older child, and he hugged the older child's leg desperately and refused to let go.

The older child reached out and grabbed the boy's blond hair, kicked him on the chest, then smiled proudly and disappeared into the bushes.

The boy fell under the low bush wall. The other children fled away in fright, leaving only the boy lying on the ground crying sadly.

Aphrodite was startled slightly. She stopped and walked up, squatting in front of the boy who fell to the ground. Aphrodite put her hand on the boy's head, gently stroked his hair, and said to him

Comforting: "You are a boy. No matter what happens, you cannot cry like a girl. Crying has no effect except making you look more miserable."

"Come on! Stand up and I will take you to get your candies and copper coins back!"

The boy wiped his tears and nose and quickly got up from the ground. His right face was slightly red and swollen, and there was a clear footprint on his chest.

Aphrodite took the boy's hand and led him slowly into the low wall, saying to him as he walked:

"Promise me that if something like this happens in the future, you will stand up bravely. You have to take back what you lost by yourself!"

Aphrodite just straddled two low shrub walls and found the older child squatting under the low wall to peel off candy wrappers from behind a row of low shrub walls. The older child raised his head and looked at Aphrodite in confusion.

Luo Di and the boy holding her hand thought it was an adult from the family coming.

The eldest child was as nimble as a rabbit. He wanted to pass through the low bush wall, but when he saw Aphrodite's eyes, he was stunned. He stupidly took the candy and three pieces of candy in his pocket.

He took out a copper plate and gave it to the boy.

Aphrodite comforted the boy again, touched his head, and turned around to walk out of the maze surrounded by shrubs and low walls.

The boy also grabbed the candy and ran away.

Only the older child was left standing there in a daze.

After a few seconds, the older child came to his senses, shook his head vigorously, turned around and ran away into the bush wall.

All this was seen by Kagelcoward, who was hiding behind the flower bed.

Is that... dark magic charm?

Kagelcoward stared at Aphrodite with a puzzled look. He was not sure who Aphrodite was, but he knew that charm belonged to black magic. He guessed that he had met a black magician. This kind of

The black magician was a kind of secretive person in Bena City, so he hid behind the wall with fear on his face, and looked at Aphrodite with more curiosity...
