Chapter 349
Finally, Rin stopped in front of a tavern.
When Raphael saw this, he quickly said: "This kind of place is full of adventurers, it is the most dangerous."
"Idiot, don't you know it's dark under the light? And don't worry, I can talk to the boss here."
This tavern is one of Qiyu's strongholds and intelligence stations in Glow City.
Rin did not enter through the front door, but walked around to find the back door and knocked on the door rhythmically. This was one of the docking signals.
After knocking three times, after a while, the back door was opened, and a man who looked like a man came out and glanced back and forth at Rin and Rafael.
Both of them covered their faces and lowered their heads, unable to see clearly.
"Buying wine or shopping?"
Rin wondered what kind of code it was, but Qiyu only told him the general code, and it was not clear about each stronghold. He impatiently took out a magic seal and threw it to the assistant.
The waiter took it in his hand, looked at it briefly, and said, "Two adults, wait a moment, I'll call the boss."
After saying that, he closed the door, turned around and walked in.
Raphael asked strangely: "What does this place do? Is it a secret society?"
"Information point of the Death Ring Witch."
Rin explained that saying so was not a lie to Raphael.
Qiyu's identity is only known to her apostles and a few confidants, and most of the time they establish strongholds with the help of the witch's name.
The trained employees all regard themselves as working as witches, and the life-sounding witch is a leading intelligence agent. Even if she is exposed, the officials will not find it strange, and will even turn a blind eye.
Soon, the owner of the tavern opened the door and invited the two people in with a flattering look on his face, while patting the waiter on the head.
"Idiot, you know you are a superior, but you don't serve me well. You actually let me wait outside. There is no etiquette at all."
With that said, he handed the seal engraved with his life to Rin respectfully.
"Two adults, please come in. I wonder if you have any instructions for me to carry out? Or is it that the witch will send two of you to inspect on a regular basis?"
Rin withdrew the seal and waved his hand: "It's a small matter. My companion needs to stay here for a while, and he won't be discovered by anyone during this period."
"My subordinates take orders and ensure that the mission is completed."
"Well, let's prepare a room now."
The pub itself will have spare rooms for drunken guests, and additional accommodation fees can be charged.
The boss didn't dare to ask any more questions and quickly made arrangements.
Rin compared Raphael's figure, took out a set of spare clothes for Yuye and handed them to her.
Yuye is taller than Raphael, and her general build is about the same, so she can be used.
Raphael took the clothes hesitantly, gritted his teeth, spit out the word "thank you" like squeezing out toothpaste, and ran into the room.
After washing up and changing into clothes, the Thunder Swordsman felt that he had finally regained a new lease of life and was living like a human being again.
For Rin, she was grateful from the bottom of her heart, but because of the previous conflicts between the two, it was difficult to step down, so she could only maintain this arrogant face.
"Um... Anyway, thank you very much this time. I will definitely pay you back in the future."
"Now do you believe that I can rescue stray cats and dogs?" Rin chuckled.
"you……"
Rafael was really about to quarrel, but suddenly two "gurgling" sounds came out, and she covered her stomach in embarrassment.
"Okay, let's go, it's time to feed the pigeons."
"No... no need, I can overcome this kind of thing by myself." Raphael shook his long blond hair with a tough expression.
"Gululu."
But her belly was obviously not prepared to give her master face. She screamed louder and louder. Rin rolled her eyes and asked the waiter to hand him two silver coins.
"I see there is a barbecue restaurant next door. Let's go get some more food."
"Okay, you two adults will wait a moment."
Afterwards, the two sat across from each other around the table, the atmosphere was silent and awkward.
After a long time, Rin knocked on the table, raised her chin, and spoke first: "Tell me, how did it end up like this?"
"Ah?" Raphael was a little at a loss, "Wha...what, didn't I say this before?"
"It's one thing to catch you. What I'm asking is how you managed to make yourself look like a beggar."
When Raphael heard this, his expression froze, he lowered his head and bit his lower lip, but refused to speak.
After all, it was so embarrassing.
Seeing that Rin couldn't ask anything, she had no choice but to stay in silence together.
After waiting for a while, someone brought the barbecue in, along with a small bucket of beer.
"Okay, stop pretending to be dumb and start eating."
Rin didn't eat much at the banquet tonight. She was always thinking about business. Now she was really hungry, so she took the lead in grabbing a skewer of barbecue and biting into it.
Raphael's stomach growled even louder, he swallowed, but finally couldn't hold it back, grabbed a large piece of steak and stuffed it into his mouth.
Logically speaking, people who have been hungry for two or three days cannot eat such greasy food at the beginning, but the physical class of a person is that the body is good at digestion and the intestines are as strong as cast iron.
I couldn't stop eating. I ate like crazy and poured myself one glass after another of beer. Soon my face turned red.
Rin raised her eyebrows and looked at Raphael, whose cheeks were bulging like a hamster's, with a look of disgust on his face: "It's indeed a wild boar."
"If you can, try starving yourself for three days."
After a few glasses of beer, Raphael was no longer as restrained as before, chewing fiercely.
"A delicate magician like you won't be able to walk for three days."
"I am not an ordinary magician! I am not penniless! Forget it... What's there to say to a poor guy like you."
"Burp."
Raphael burped, wiped her mouth, and said angrily: "Who is a poor guy! I still have a hundred gold coins left before."
More than a hundred gold coins, in the eyes of ordinary people, is a huge sum of money, not really a poor guy, but in the eyes of the aristocracy, it is barely enough to support one person for two months.
"Where's the money?"
Raphael, who had been tight-lipped before, opened up after drinking, and cried loudly with grievance.
"I was cheated! Dead liar, even this lady wanted to cheat! Woohoo, if I hadn't discovered it early, these bastards would have wanted to sell me!"
Chapter 119 Let's clarify, we just have a private affair
Raphael grew up under the doting of the Meteor Sword Saint and has been well protected. She has no social experience at all.
Of course, she still feels that she has quite some experience in the world.
Moreover, she had overcome many obstacles along the way, destroyed several robber dens, killed several vicious criminals, and was always thanked by civilians and local noble merchants. It can be said that she was going smoothly.
However, some people were more impressed by her strength and identity.
After finding that people from the Meteor Empire were looking back and forth at the city gate, and she could not disguise herself, so she could not get out of the city, Raphael looked for another way.
Then she encountered a bounty.
After being rewarded, she hid from place to place. She accidentally heard that someone was engaged in underground smuggling business. No matter what it was, there was a way to take it out, so she went to the door and asked them to send her out of the city.
Raphael did not dare to tell this group of people about her identity, fearing that they would sell her out because of the high bounty.
The other party offered 150 gold coins. Raphael ran away from home and did not bring too many gold coins. She could only use the extra clothes and low-level magic cards to make up for it.
Fortunately, she was not stupid enough to know that her high-level magic cards and magic devices were life-saving items, and it would be easy for people to find out if she sold them, so she kept these valuable things with her.
But she was really penniless in this way, and the guys refused to admit their debts.
Not only did they rob her money, but they also wanted to sell her for a high price because of her beauty.
The young lady was so angry that she wanted to teach them a lesson at that time.
However, the other party seemed to have a great noble as a backer, and the thugs who were guarding the place were really of high level. Raphael was afraid that the sound of fighting would attract bounty hunters, so he could only swallow the humiliation and ran away in a hurry.
Raphael became more and more sad as he spoke, and he cried while eating, and poured beer into his stomach in big gulps, regardless of Lin's presence, and poured out all the bitterness.
In the end, he was drunk unconscious, lying on the table, still mumbling, with tears in the corners of his eyes, which made the child very aggrieved.
Lin's eyes twitched, and he muttered "idiot".
Although they have similar personalities, one thing he is better than Rafael is that if he really has any difficulties, he will still ask his friends for help instead of just trying to hold on alone.
Of course, he will not be cheated!
But those guys are really bold. They not only cheat money but also rape women. Now that they see Rafael's bounty portrait and know her identity, they may be scared out of their wits.
Lin got up and looked at the mess on the table. Basically, only the base was left after eating. There was also a smell of barbecue in the house.
After collecting the garbage and opening the window a little for ventilation, Lin helped Rafael up, threw her on the bed, and then threw the quilt on her.
Then he closed the window, went out and told the boss to keep it secret, and then cast space magic to return to his house.
Xiye, who was napping on the sofa, moved his ears, opened his eyes a little, turned over and continued to sleep.
Lin lay on the bed, rested his head on his arms, and squinted his eyes.
It is actually a good thing for a fool like Rafael to experience more social beatings.
Rin thought heartlessly, and felt that this guy was so stubborn and didn't want to go home, so it was not impossible for her to help her as a friend.
Well, let her hone her skills outside and grow a few more minds.
Anyway, her fighting ability is really not weak, and she has many ways to save her life.
But it is too difficult to send her out of the city directly now. Adventurers and bounty hunters, even soldiers, will watch this city tightly under the heavy reward.
The best way is to take your own ride away.
I believe no one dares to check his car.
After making up his mind, Rin felt very sleepy and fell asleep with his head tilted.
The next morning, when he got up, Iris had already brought breakfast.
Rin got up late, and the other three girls had already eaten. Lina was called back to the palace by Augustine to deal with things early in the morning and was not among them.
Lin picked up a piece of pickled radish and ate it, then drank a mouthful of preserved egg and lean meat porridge happily, and then said: "I was bored last night, so I went out for a walk, and then I met that guy Rafael."
Silly Roe Deer immediately perked up, stopped teasing Xiaolong, and asked hurriedly: "Didn't Sister Rafael leave a long time ago? Why is she still in the imperial capital?"
"The people sent by her mother have offered a large reward in the Adventurer's Guild. Now the whole city, including the guards, are looking for her, so she can't go out."
Guards naturally cannot receive the bounty legitimately, but they can cooperate with adventurers and hunters, so they can get a sum of money privately.
And Lin didn't mention that when he saw her, she was hiding in the bridge hole, cold and hungry, but only told about the reward.
Iris's face was full of worry: "Sister Rafael must be in a difficult situation now."
"It's because she is stubborn and refuses to go home."
Rin looked contemptuous: "But since she asked me for help, I will reluctantly help her. When we leave later, we will take her with us."
"Little Lin is the best!"
Iris's eyes sparkled and she threw herself into Lin's arms. Lin Wu Yue, who was squeezed between them, struggled desperately, wishing to scratch her to death with one claw.
"I still have to eat! You are so heavy!"
Rin pushed the silly roe deer away and pulled her hair unhappily.
"Hehe, Xiao Lin, come eat quickly. Where does Sister Raphael live now?"
"She's safe now, but don't go looking for her yet. That group of people must have known her interpersonal relationships and that you are friends. Don't let them find her when the time comes."
"Guhehe, I know."
"By the way, Xiao Lin, Emilia, Sister Xiye and I are going to go shopping later. Do you want to join us?"
They will be leaving in a few days, but they haven't visited Glowing City properly and haven't bought many special products, so they discussed going shopping together in the morning.
Although Fei Miao is lazy, she actually likes shopping. Although she goes to snack stalls most of the time, she also wants to buy some daily necessities for Eevee this time.
Xiye is used to strange handicrafts and is also interested in shopping. On the other hand, she wants to protect her two younger siblings.
