Yuffie stood up, walked forward a little distance, and then quickly made a few gestures, turning the power of magic into a sound and transmitting it to Leia's ears.
"Long time no see. It's me, Yuffie. Looking for a place to have something to drink?"
The young ranger had obviously been alert to the surroundings. His body suddenly tensed up, and after hearing the words clearly, he slowly relaxed. After a moment, he turned his head slightly, met Yuffie's eyes, and then strode towards her.
Come.
"Let's go." A smile appeared on his face, "Where are you going?"
"Just follow me." Yuffie patted the other party's shoulder - this is also the habit of her current body. "Speaking of which, how did you recognize me?"
"Because of your eyes." Leia replied narrowly, "A normal man would not stare at me with your eyes."
Yuffie shook her head secretly in her heart. Her intuition told her that the ranger in front of her was just pretending not to be serious - the question just now might be related to some of the other party's secrets, so it was reasonable that she would not get an answer. However... pay attention when you have time.
Her eyes and expression weren't bad either, she thought.
The 'caravan' with one more person once again returned to the tavern they visited in the morning. The hall was still deserted, and the boss was still humming a strange tune, but there was one more man in a robe, standing in the corner.
Pour yourself and drink.
Yuffie greeted the shopkeeper and signaled Leia to treat her this time. The young ranger unceremoniously ordered a large glass of ale and a few side dishes, and then sat down at the table in the center.
"If you have anything to do with me, just tell me." Leia took a sip of ale and let out a comfortable sigh. "I'm really lucky. I came to such a ghost place and still picked up a lunch."
Yuffie sat across from the young ranger and motioned to the shopkeeper to add another set of tableware and a cup of white tea - a local drink that tastes slightly lighter than the black tea in the El continent. After hearing her words, the young ranger looked at
He looked at the cup in his hand with a regretful expression.
"Hey, it's a pity that you don't drink." Leia sighed exaggeratedly, "This is not what a guard should do."
The girl did not respond to Leia's words. Wizards' attitudes toward alcoholic beverages are divided into two factions. One faction believes that alcohol can inspire inspiration for experiments and creativity in casting spells, while the other faction believes that alcohol can numb the mind and make spells and experiments easier to produce.
Error - both she and Lin fall into the latter category.
"I thought you were looking for trouble with Setsuna." She changed the topic and cast a spell to prevent the conversation between the two from being heard by the outside world. "Why are you the only one here? Where are your companions?
?”
"Don't think of me as a short-sighted guy. I have some issues with that bastard, but I don't like the organization itself even more." Leia shrugged, with a little dissatisfaction in her words, "I heard what this bitch is planning to do.
Ghost, just come over and investigate. This kind of action is not suitable for a large group of people, so I let them rest first."
"In this case, we can cooperate." Lin, who was sitting on her right, interjected, "What news did you hear, please tell me?"
The young ranger glanced at Lin and showed an expression as if he had suffered a loss.
"As you know, that guy Wei Feng is responsible for the normal logistics and transportation of this organization." He picked up a chopstick of thinly sliced beef, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed, "But just a few days ago, I stayed at
People at the inn saw a few guys from the Ministry of Fog escorting two fully loaded carriages, and they didn't know where they were going." He spat lightly, "As the saying goes, if something goes wrong, it must be a monster - that's right.
, what are you here for?"
Yuffie briefly told how they met with the current Emperor of the Empire and promised to investigate the truth of the attack. When they heard that they had received the token from the Emperor, Leia whistled loudly and poured out the remaining liquid in the cup.
Drink it all.
"We really have yours." He raised his glass to the shop owner and motioned for him to bring him another glass of wine. "Tell me, how do you want to cooperate?"
Yuffie did not answer immediately. She organized her thoughts, watched the shopkeeper place another wooden cup in front of Leia, and then returned to the back of the bar before speaking out her thoughts: "We plan to communicate with Shuiyun as envoys first.
Meet and ask her for information about the attack. You may not get any key information, but you can find out the other party's attitude. And..." She turned to look out the window, "I still think that we can manage the city into a
He shouldn't be a bad person with this look."
"Whatever you think." Leia said noncommittally, "Then."
"What was your original plan?" she asked, "Would it be the same as last time, forcing you to break into the city lord's mansion and ask questions."
"That's what I wanted to do, but it's a pity that there's probably no chance this time." Leia tapped her fingers on the table, "How about I arrest someone and you use magic to pry her mouth open?"
"I'm afraid it's useless. The Mist Department is an agency in charge of intelligence. It's unlikely that peripheral members will know important information." Yuffie shook her head and rejected the other party's proposal, "Secret techniques can control thoughts, but they cannot distinguish authenticity. Unless you have
We have to find a way to capture Shui Yun, otherwise we will probably only get disguised intelligence."
Leia rolled her eyes at her, "Then what do you want to do?"
"Don't underestimate the possibility of secret magic." Yuffie stretched out his chopsticks and took the last piece of beef on the plate into his mouth, "As long as you can find objects related to those two carriages, or take us to that inn
, I will have a way to confirm its approximate whereabouts."
Hearing what she said, the young ranger finally raised his eyebrows and showed a satisfied smile, "It's not a bad thing to get to know you." He raised the almost empty cup in his hand, "In that case, I wish us a happy cooperation.
"
Yuffie touched him lightly with the tea cup in her hand, and suddenly thought of another question, "Leia, have you and Wei Feng known each other a long time ago?"
The young ranger snorted, acquiescing.
"If one day, you have to become enemies, what are you going to do?" She asked slightly curiously, although this question actually didn't make much sense.
"Teach him a lesson and let him understand what a stupid thing he has done." Leia replied without hesitation, "Then take him home. My blood relatives with that guy are no longer here."
, but there are still many people who are thinking about him."
Yuffie breathed out softly and smiled softly - given her current appearance, she looked a little strange.
"This puts me at ease." She said softly, "Sure enough, Wei Feng is not a bad person, just like you."
"I don't like hearing what you are saying." Leia's eyes widened, "Who is the same as that guy!"
The girl did not answer Leia's question, but stood up and walked to the bar, handed the money for the drinks and food to the shopkeeper, and then waved to the young ranger who was still sitting at the table.
Somehow, Sora's face suddenly flashed before her eyes, as well as the sadness hidden in his words when he asked several people to investigate "The Pale Hand".
"Time can change a lot, but there are some things that will never change." She whispered to herself, "Things worth doing... maybe I'm starting to understand."
