Chapter 169 (1/2)

This is the third time Loren has come to Gumu town.

The cold rain pattered in early spring, coloring the originally not sunny day with a layer of gray. The cold rain drenched the black haired wizard outside the tavern, revealing a pair of obsidian pupils under his hood, staring at the sign shaking in the breeze outside the tavern.

At this time, it is almost evening, and there are few pedestrians in the originally deserted street. The misty and rainy day makes the business of the tavern much better. At least there is a warm fireplace and blanket under the eaves, and a cup of worrisome malt wine.

”Are you really sure that the guy waiting for you is here?” Asriel asked, standing next to Loren and holding his shoulder very old. ”Doesn't the little priest seem to have told you the location?”

”He has told me, but he didn't notice it.” Loren said faintly.

It's not hard to guess that the other party is here - at least for Loren. The little priest met Dalton Kande in Gumu town and got the news of the disappearance of his mentor before he set out. On the same day, the gentleman asked him to convey the news of his mentor's disappearance.

More than three times was no accident, and Loren never believed in any accident.

The rest is to inquire about the new faces in Gumu town recently. This is a small town. There are not many foreign tourists and caravans at all. Even one more outsider will be very abrupt. As long as you look carefully, you can certainly find each other's trace.

And if you can't find... That means two things. First, the other party is good at concealment and rarely travels; Secondly, he certainly didn't leave, and at the same time, he was in a place where a group of people gathered, so that he could not only avoid sight, but also determine whether he appeared.

At this point, Loren has a natural disadvantage. Black hair and black eyes are too pricking.

As for this tavern, when he first visited Gumu Town, he once came back to look for clues about the ghoul incident. It is also the only pub like this in this village.

Gently clenched his left hand, he always wore the ”caster” gloves on the way, and never took them off; The ”bright silver” is pinned to the buckle on the right waist and can be touched by reaching out - in this crowded tavern, long weapons such as ”tree heart” are very impractical, and they may be killed before they can wave their staff.

”Your spiritual palace has not fully recovered, and now I may not be able to help you.” the young man ”kindly” reminded, and his scarlet eyes glanced at Lauren nearby: ”if it's like last time, I'm afraid you'll die directly.”

”I have some confidence in me. Aren't we friends?” the black haired wizard raised his mouth slightly. ”Anyway, I don't expect you to help every time. I'm more or less worried about whether you will take the opportunity to do what you shouldn't do.”

”Your statement is really heartbreaking. We are the closest friends.”

”I think it's the best thing for two 'close' friends to be wary of each other.” Loren smiled kindly at Asriel: ”after all, who can guess whether the other party will suddenly betray himself?”

”... you are becoming less and less lovely, dear Lauren. I still miss you.”

The boy sighed with disappointment. The delicate face showed a somewhat playful smile: ”but now it's more elegant and confident. It really adds a lot of color. It can also be said to be 'another kind of charm'?”

Completely ignoring him, Loren went straight to the front door of the tavern, followed by Asriel turned into a dark shadow, and a pair of black feather Eagles with bloody eyes stably appeared on the shoulders of the black haired wizard.

Ignore the revelry and drunkenness around, or the drunken and flushed pub regulars. Looking for a place at random, Loren pushed away the unconscious drunkard, gently snapped his fingers at the owner of the tavern and put the silver coins on the table.

”Your malt wine, master wizard.” the tavern owner touched the silver coin and put the glass in front of Loren. ”What's the purpose of coming to Gumu town this time?”

”See a friend.” the black haired wizard smiled. The tavern owner stopped asking, weighed the silver coins in his hand and walked away.

The dark yellow liquor swayed gently and looked very beautiful in the dark candlelight of the tavern. Lauren picked up the glass and drank it down the edge.

The cool touch penetrated into the throat, but it was a warm taste from the chest down. Even the body wet by the rain didn't seem so cold.
