Chapter 60 The Bard and the Crow

"Hof, which floor is it?" Yago asked while walking directly towards the back of the tavern.

"The third floor, the one on the far left." After casting a curious glance at Yago, the boss ignored him.

His name is Bohoff, and there are quite a few people who call him Boh or Huff. Only Hals, with his big tongue, can call him that.

As for what "Holes" asked someone to do, he didn't bother to care about it, let alone someone who was not drunk. From time to time, a few policemen would come to the room to drag away a drunk who committed a crime or was choked to death by his own vomit. He is used to seeing things.

This tavern is also a hotel, but because it is a tavern, there are often quarrels and even fights with drunks. Basically, the only people who stay here are those who have drunk too much and have no place to live and are not afraid of dirty smell.

It's strange to say, let alone little girls, even women, few come to live in taverns.

But he just muttered something, and continued to wipe the cup with the not-so-clean rag.

When Yago got the specific location, he walked straight up to the third floor.

While walking, he glanced at the lit gas street lamps outside, and after expressing his feelings about the strength of the construction of the gas pipeline, Yago finally came to the leftmost room on the third floor.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—

Accompanied by the agreed, slow and rhythmic knock on the door.

Although there was no response from inside the house, Yago heard footsteps.

Then, the door was opened, and a girl wearing a brown soft hat who looked eleven or twelve years old came out. Under the dim light of the gray moon, the girl raised her head and spoke in Yago's familiar tone and strange The voice asked:

"How many people appeared on the second page? How many people appeared on the third page?"

Hearing the other party's inquiry, Yago also understood the other party's identity.

Because if you enter the world of the book through consciousness, you will be possessed randomly, and the three of them also agreed on a password.

There is no specific book, just three pages of a random storybook used as a code.

It is agreed that the first page is Elsa, the second page is Little Betty, and the third page is him.

After five rhythmic knocks on the door, ask about the names of several different characters on the other two pages besides your own.

Three pages of answers Yago knows, or all three of them know, but he can only answer the page he represents:

"I don't know on the second page, and there are 3 people on the third page."

After he answered, he spoke again:

"How many people are there on the first page?"

"4 people." The freckled girl responded, and then stepped aside to open the door, motioning Yago to enter.

Glancing outside the door, the girl closed the door.

Yago, who entered the door, looked at the girl, and "introduced himself" aloud:

"I'm Constable Halles."

The answer just now can prove that the other party must be Elsa, or that Little Betty and Elsa have exchanged identities.

It may even be someone who got the answer through something like mind reading and pretended to be one of the two.

Elsa said that in the world of books, there have been many extraordinary abilities in reality. He asked if there is the ability to spy on the mind, but Elsa is not sure, that is, the possibility cannot be ruled out.

Yago felt that it must exist.

The Thorn Tree recruited him that day, and he would not believe that there were no special censorship methods.

It's a pity that there is no way to deal with it.

The disadvantages of this autistic tactic of self-deception are all too obvious.

Elsa didn't know what Diego was thinking, and after Diego "introduced herself", she also informed her current identity.

Yi Ni, with no special status, is the daughter of a labor couple who came to Arabella from other places. She is an ordinary woman who is now a female worker in a textile factory.

And not long after, Little Betty finally arrived, but...

Looking at the tall and sexy girl wrapped in a black robe, Yago was a little dazed.

Little Betty, are you and Elsa the opposite?

But Elsa and Little Betty are used to it, and it seems that they have possessed more outrageous characters.

But living in the modern world, Yago, who has a wide range of knowledge, quickly recovered from his surprise after being slightly stunned. Not to mention the opposite, even Yago, who is a monster, has seen a lot.

After confirming their identities, the three left the tavern room immediately.

The re-assembly location is Yago, which is the home of "Holes".

The three discussed.

The story of "The Raven Song" is about a traveling troupe who traveled to Arabella, and when performing, they performed a story of an epic age.

The story tells that a caravan that hired a mercenary group met a bard when they were crossing a plain, and the bard kindly told them that there was danger hidden in the goods, and the goods would attract huge numbers of people. pack of wolves.

However, the people in the caravan did not listen, and the mercenaries drove him away as a liar.

But the bard still didn't want to watch them die, so he left his pet crow, saying that once he heard the crows, the wolves had arrived.

However, when it was night, the crow croaked to warn the caravan and the mercenaries, but the archers among the mercenaries took the crow's noise as an excuse and shot it with a bow.

Because they did not trust the crow's warning, the wolves came soon after and killed the mercenaries and caravan personnel.

At the end of the play, the bard sits by the fire with his harp and plays to the crows, who chirp with hoarse, shrill chirps.

Just after the traveling troupe performed the story and received applause, a man who claimed to be a bard came to the troupe and told them to leave quickly, otherwise there would be danger.

However, again, the bard's warning was not heeded by the traveling troupe. They ignored the bard and ridiculed him for deceiving people with the story they had just acted, and drove him away.

And when the bard left, like a story played by a troupe, he said that if he saw a crow flying, he would leave the area immediately.

However, the troupe was not convinced.

Then, not long after, all members of the troupe died in an explosion accident.

At the end of the story, the bard is sitting at the scene of the accident, sitting by the fire, facing a crow, waving a bow, and playing the exact same music on the violin as in the story, and the crow also sends out The hoarse crow chirps in harmony.

According to Elsa and little Betty, the story didn't last long.

And Elsa and Little Betty have repeatedly explored this story many times, and have determined the location and venue of the troupe's performance and a lot of news.

However, they went through various searches around this troupe, but found no clues related to potions.

If it fails again, then Elsa decides to drop the story and waste no more time.

She believes that not every story can be profitable, and not every story is related to potions.
