Chapter 81 Hooker's Alley(1/3)
Esley walked off the train-like train and looked at the Hooker alley in front of him. A trace of helplessness appeared on the face of the "Sword Forging Master" hidden by the system.
What debt is the hardest to pay?
There is no doubt that human debt!
Therefore, when facing the tavern owner, the "sword-casting master" will always be shorter unconsciously.
Because, he once owed a lot of favors from the tavern owner, but so far, he has not paid it back.
He appeared in Hook Alley, the headquarters of the Liberty League, to return favors.
De Koman, a member of the Free League.
He is not a core member, but he is not a marginal person. He is the kind of player who does not want to be bound or become a truly loner. He eventually chose the Free Alliance. He helped him in a certain original copy world and gained a lot.
Even, to some extent, DeComan is the key figure who can truly enter one of the top ten supernovas.
Therefore, after receiving the other party's request for help, Esliet immediately set off to Hooker's Alley.
Looking at the colorful alley consisting of gravel paths and low houses in front of him, the "Sword Forging Master" curled his lips. He didn't like this kind of town that looked like a fairy tale.
Not considered naive.
I just think that some fairy tales are far less simple than they seem.
If you dig a little, it will be dark.
For the ‘Sword Forging’, that feeling of ruining childhood is really terrible.
Maybe this is why adults don’t like to read fairy tales?
With the thoughts in his heart, the "Sword Forging Master" walked into the Hook's alley. The moment he stepped into the alley, a sound of wheels sounded.
Not from the alley, but from behind.
The ‘Sword Forging Master’ looked back.
Three pumpkin carriages of different colors drove slowly from far to near, each carriage was about 50 meters apart, and there was a coachman in a dress sitting in front.
However, these coachmen are not living people, but skeletons.
But that doesn't prevent them from making sounds
"Do you want to go to your destination?"
“10 points.”
When the first black pumpkin cart arrived, the skeleton in the same black dress grabbed the black horse and asked at the "Sword Forging Master".
After seeing the "Sword Forging Master" without answering, the black pumpkin carriage left straight and disappeared into the Hooker alley.
"Do you want to go to your destination?"
“100 points.”
The second pumpkin cart was red, and the skeleton in a red dress pulled the reins and asked the same words.
The ‘Sword Forging Master’ still had no answer.
The red pumpkin cart also left and disappeared like a black pumpkin cart.
"Do you want to go to your destination?"
“1000 points.”
The third pumpkin cart was white. When the white horse stopped, the skeleton under the white dress stood up and saluted to the "Sword Forging Master", and asked.
"good."
Without the same silence as before, the "Sword Forging Master" nodded and directly boarded the pumpkin cart.
After entering the carriage, the "Sword Forging Master" ignored the prompt of spending 1,000 points, but raised his hand to touch a brass ring on the index finger of his left hand.
There are no complicated patterns, nor any embellishments, and it looks like a ring that only rural peasant women choose.
But only its real owner, the "Sword Forging Master", will understand its benefits.
Not only can it identify dangers, but it can also indicate safety.
This brass ring has always been one of the most indispensable props for the "Sword Forging Master".
Just now, when the black and red pumpkin cart arrived, it gave a warning, and when the white pumpkin cart arrived, it indicated safety.
The countless experiences of dying and resurrection made the "Sword Forging Master" never doubt the reliability of this prop.
Wheel, wheel.
The skeleton driver in white costume shook the reins and the pumpkin cart drove towards the depths of Hook's alley. The "Sword Forging Master" sitting in the car looked at the buildings that were retreating rapidly on both sides and sent a private message to Dekoman again.
Unfortunately, I ignored it at all.
Apart from the illuminated name that indicates that the other party is still alive, there is no useful information.
Even if you don't know who the enemy is.
Similarly, after searching for his memory, the "Sword Forging Master" also found nothing.
In his impression, no one has used the method of "pumpkin carriage to pick up people".
Of course, the "Sword Forging Master" believes that as he goes deeper, the other party will definitely reveal his flaws and let him find his flaws.
After all, there are only a few people in the huge city that deserve his attention.
“Guest, your destination has arrived.”
After the bumpy journey, the voice of the skeleton coachman sounded, and the door of the pumpkin cart opened at the same time. When he walked out of the pumpkin cart, the "Sword Forging Master" looked at the castle in front of him with confusion.
The blue spire roof and white exterior walls, from the high tower windows, colorful tapestries were hanging down straight. The suspension bridge that should have been raised was already laid down at this time. A team of knights with bright armor, divided into two rows, stood on both sides of the suspension bridge, and extended to the castle gate.
From the direction where the "Sword Forging Master" stands, you can easily see the lively situation in the castle.
Of course, this is not the point.
The point is when did this castle appear?
Although the "Sword Forging Master" does not recognize the Free Alliance, he still has taught with the Free Alliance. The other party has entrusted him to cast weapons more than once, and he has also come to Hooker Lane more than once.
He could be sure that there had never been such a castle in Hook Alley.
Wheel, wheel.
After delivering the guest, the skeleton dressed in white clothes bowed and drove away, leaving the "Sword Forging Master" alone standing in front of the suspension bridge.
He touched the brass ring.
There are no warnings for danger, nor any warnings for safety.
“There is neither danger nor safety…”
"Unknown?"
The ‘Sword Forging Master’ frowned.
He hates this situation very much.
If he could, he wanted to turn around and leave, but Decoman's favor forced him to bite the bullet and walk towards the suspension bridge.
The touch from the soles of the shoes informs that the suspension bridge of the "Sword Forging Master" is real.
clang!
Pa, pa.
Just after the "Sword Forging Master" walked onto the suspension bridge, the knights standing in two rows drew out their long swords. They did not attack, but slapped the shield in their hands with their sword spines.
It is very rhythmic, as if it is some kind of war song.
It makes people feel passionate and excited when they hear it.
Even the "Sword Forging Master" was no exception, but he suppressed the excitement in his heart and walked through the suspension bridge step by step, passing through two rows of knights. When he reached the city gate, a tax officer wearing a vest and leather boots walked over with a smile.
"10 points for entry fee."
The other party said this.
The ‘Sword Forging Master’ gave 10 points.
Suddenly, the tax officer's smile became more and more sincere. The other party turned sideways, bent over, and made a gesture to the "Sword Forging Master".
The ‘Sword Forging Master’ stepped in.
There is still no dangerous warning for brass rings.
There was no danger in his intuition.
Everyone who passed by him had a smile on his face.
Even he entered several shops, and the things he sold were real.
There are both food, wine and daily necessities.
But there is no sign of members of the Free Alliance.
"Will it be here?"
To be continued...
