Chapter 464
Changing the accent is not a difficult problem for Xia Lan. The game memory of the previous life combined with the rich experience of displaced in this life made him easily adapt to the environment in every place. As long as he doesn't talk about it in a long and long way, no one can detect his accent problem. ≤
However, Adrina is different from Winnie. After all, they are native natives on the western continent of Xiafeng Strait. They give people a clear impression as soon as they speak. Even if they use voice-changing agents, it is difficult to cover up. If you want to not arouse suspicion, the best way is to keep silent and pretend to be mute. But it is easy to pretend to be mute. The difficult thing is how to not cover up the suspicion of being too obvious!
It turned out that Xia Lan could still solve the problem through bribery when the town was not strictly investigated, but the situation has changed now. If you continue to try to enter the city by chance in the past, the consequences will be absolutely embarrassing.
"We probably need to change our way to enter the city."
After thinking for a long time, Xia Lan gave up several immature ideas of entering the city and sighed.
"What's the solution?" asked Winnie beside her.
"Look for a gap to lurk in." Xia Lan said quietly at the towering walls of Denmer Fortress. "This is the safest way I can think of."
The tall city wall may be an obstacle for most ordinary people, but it is a threshold for people like Xia Lan to easily cross.
"This is like your behavior, simple and direct." Winnie commented with a smile.
"Silently leave the crowd of people in the team and never attract others' attention."
After Xia Lan finished speaking, she slowly retreated to Adrina with the reins of the horse. After whispering a few soft words, the three of them disappeared without a trace.
Until the evening, the gates of Denmer Fort were still blocked. However, the crowd was significantly shortened. Many merchants and mercenaries who had been waiting for a long time complained and complained. It was very noisy for a while.
Suddenly, a violent conflict broke out in the crowd, which seriously disrupted the order around them. The soldiers responsible for the investigation at the city gate immediately set off with their weapons to quell the chaos. Even the guards on the city wall were alert. The archers of the sentry tower were all aimed at the city gate for a while. When the soldiers resolved the riot, they realized that it was a false alarm. It turned out that the two teams of merchants caused conflicts during the friction and collision.
"This is a great time to play with the troubled waters."
He patted his chest lightly. Winnie looked back at the gray stone wall of Denmer Fort behind her and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Did you forget my warning to you? I started pretending to be mute since I entered the city!" Xia Lan glanced at her coldly.
"Anyway, there is no one around." Winnie looked around the surrounding environment and found that they were in a flat wasteland, and there were endless buildings not far away.
"Be careful." Xia Lan looked around carefully and said, "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. Leave here as soon as possible and find a safe place."
Soon, Xia Lan and the two of them disappeared quickly under the city wall, and in a blink of an eye, they mixed into the bustling and prosperous streets.
The martial law at Fort Demel was somewhat unexpected. Anyone who entered the city would issue a small wooden identity nameplate, which would only be taken back when leaving the city. Whether it was a hotel or a transaction, the nameplate must be presented. Sometimes the patrol soldiers would come forward to inspect the suspicious guy, and they would immediately arrest and get imprisoned if there was no identity nameplate.
Xia Lan knew about the identity plate when she was creating a riot at the city gate. It was not difficult to walk in the bustling street market where people were coming and going. She found an ordinary hotel to settle down. After dinner, he went out and began to find out the medicine materials that Winnie needed. Before leaving, she did not forget to remind them not to go out and speak.
The night market in Fort Demel is very busy, and even the tense and martial law atmosphere recently cannot have any impact, because it has been peaceful here for too long, so long that people forget the war. It seems that there is no sense of crisis anymore. From another perspective, the people in Fort Demel are undoubtedly happy.
After visiting many high-end material shops, Winnie only needs all the materials. The remaining precious materials can only be owned in the capital of Ortori. Of course, if Xia Lan is willing to wait, the material shop promised to get all the materials in one month, but unfortunately he did not waste his spare time on this.
When I returned to the hotel, the moonlit night was already hazy, and the busy night market became deserted. Patrol soldiers could be found every other street. Occasionally, a barking of dogs and a faint noisy from the tavern.
Xia Lan only had one room in the hotel, and the room was very large, so it was no problem for the three of them to rest. However, Adelina and Winnie did not fall asleep for a long time, and they did not show sleepiness until Xia Lan came back.
"Has something happened when I was not here?"
As soon as he sat down, Adrina obediently brought him a cup of tea.
"No." Adrina thought for a moment and shook her head.
"Miss Adrina, you seem to have forgotten the hotel attendant who came to disturb you not long ago." Winnie, who was sitting on the sofa on the other side, said yawning.
"That hotel attendant?" Adelina thought for a while and said, "He just asked if we needed baths and desserts, no problem!"
"But I feel a little weird about him." Winnie frowned slightly and said, "Maybe I'm suspicious."
"How strange is that servant?" Winnie's words seemed to arouse Xia Lan's interest.
"I don't know, I always feel that his words and actions were a bit inconsistent after seeing us." Winnie said.
"Can he fall in love with you?" Xia Lan smiled.
"At this time, do you still have the intention to joke? Forget it! I'm going to bed!"
Winnie said dissatisfiedly, then walked off the sofa with her pillow in her arms and walked towards her bed.
"Adelina, do you feel like Winnie appears in the hotel servant?" Seeing Winnie retracting into the bed with a suffocation, Xia Lan turned her head and looked at Adlina and asked.
Adrina tilted her head and thought about it for a while, saying, "It seems that no, but the other party gives me a very gentle and comfortable feeling, and is very thoughtful in terms of etiquette."
"Okay, we will leave tomorrow anyway, so there is no need to think about it, go to bed."
Xia Lan nodded, reached out and walked towards the bed with her arms around Adelina's shoulder.
...
...
"The bat sent emergency information."
In a magnificent residence in the wealthy area of Fort Denmer, Sir Shugel had just returned from the banquet. The old housekeeper with a calm face came forward and said softly.
After loosening his collar, Shugel leaned against the soft sofa, reached out to hold the tea carefully prepared by the servant and drank it. Then he gestured to the servants around him to retreat with his eyes and said lazily: "What emergency information?"
"The bat returns, he may have discovered the target." The old butler bowed down and said.
"Hmm?" Sir Shugel's eyes shrank, put down the teacup in his hand, and said with a serious expression: "Tell me carefully about the specific information about the bat."
"Tonight, a man and two women were welcomed by the bat. Although they had the identity plates issued to the city, the bat felt a familiar breath in a certain woman. You know, the bat was an excellent perceptron, especially with a keen insight into the power breath of cultivation in the organization." The old butler said in a deep voice: "Later, the bat specially found that she was a mute. The same was true for another woman living in the house. The most important problem is that the bat felt a certain palpitation when he was close to the woman. Why did this feeling that could only appear on the twelve sacrifices on the head of this woman... So the bat had reason to suspect that this woman was the target."
"Tsk tsk, report it to that master immediately without further ado." Sir Shugel pondered for a moment and said decisively: "It would rather admit your mistake than let it go!"
“Abide by your will.”
After the words came, the old housekeeper disappeared in front of Sir Shugel like a gust of wind.
Shugel picked up the teacup on the table again. He didn't drink it, but just kept staring at the green color of the teacup. For a long time, he took a deep breath and snapped his fingers.
"Mr. Shugel, what are your instructions?"
At this time, a man wrapped in a black robe fell from the sky and said in a low voice.
"Tell the information here to a certain adult in the city." Shugel struggled for a moment.
"Affect the order."
Seeing the black robe's subordinate leaving, Shuger collapsed on the sofa as if he was exhausted, staring at the exquisite patterns on the ceiling with his eyes blankly.
"Lord, I'm sorry."
The moment when two identical messages came from one place in different directions, the surging tide was destined to come. Xia Lan, who was kept in the dark, was lying on the bed, squinting her eyes, half asleep and half awake. Adelina in her arms shrank like a kitten, and she muttered vague words in her mouth. Under his seemingly calm face, a restless heart was restless.
Where is the anxiety?
He didn't know, he was just uneasy, very uneasy.
The lights in the Church of Saints in the Fort Demel are brilliant, and countless figures reflected on the epic murals are like ghosts and monsters. The faint chants that sound inadvertently spread out with a sacred smell, and the cold metal collision sounds echo from time to time.
"Spend your life to the glory and punish the evil in the world!"
The low oath was cold, and a little cold light pointed to the starry sky.
In the square of the Church of Saints, countless soldiers wrapped in armor were gathered in an array. The burly man standing on the platform raised the silver spear in his hand. A bishop in a gorgeous robe came to him and whispered something devoutly. After a while, the bishop retreated to the side and began to bid farewell to the group of glorious soldiers.
"Unknown abnormal movements occurred in the Church of Saints! A large number of sacred knights were fully armed and rushed into the city!"
