Chapter 96 "Hijacking"

"City of Generosity" Bayam, inside the Intis Consulate.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, Yi Lian stared at her beautiful but haggard self in the mirror, and was in a daze for several minutes.

The time of escaping from the Black Death was full of expectation and suffering for her. She was afraid that she would be accidentally discovered by pirates and adventurers, captured by "Vice Admiral Disease" Tracy, and completely lose her freedom. It is also impossible to return to the hometown and return to the original life.

She didn't relax until she hid in the consulate of the motherland and got a boat ticket to leave the sea through the residual relationship of the family.

But this is still not enough to make her feel at ease. She thinks that the real landing on the Northern Continent is the end of everything.

Thinking of this, Elaine couldn't help raising her right hand, stroked the skin on her cheek that was not too fair but healthy enough, and found that its delicateness was much better than when she was a sea merchant. The illusion of returning to girlhood.

In fact, after entering the Intis Consulate, she had another option besides escaping from the sea, that is, to cooperate with the Church of the Storm, the Loen military, and some spies of the consulate, and use herself as a bait to capture the "Vice Admiral Disease" special Recy.

But after thinking for a long time, she finally gave up on this plan, and even asked her family elders and friends who were the military attache of the consulate not to tell others about her hiding here.

No matter what, she has never caused me any real harm, but she will accommodate me and satisfy me in many places...except every night, every night...that's, that's just the surface... In the memory, Elaine's cheek Suddenly it became popular.

Those intoxicating nights, the heat of body entanglement, and the unimaginable joy all flashed through her mind, and it was so short that she couldn't calm down.

Elaine took a slow breath and let it out again.

She shook her head, letting the longing for freedom, nostalgia for her hometown, and longing for her relatives regain her mind.

She looked at herself in the glasses again, and coiled up her drooping red hair.

Then, she thickened and straightened her brows, intensifying the shading for a more defined, deeply lined look.

After such a make-up, Elaine became a little more neutral and very heroic.

She took off her clothes, wrapped strips of cloth over her chest, and then put on a white shirt, black waistcoat, men's trousers, and a frock coat.

Finally, she took off her silk top hat,

Wear it on top of your head to cover up your red hair.

At this time, she in the mirror looked more like a handsome young man than a woman, especially her pair of emerald green eyes seemed to be very suitable for a similar appearance, with a kind of charming depth.

Elaine waited patiently for a while, until someone knocked on the door.

She packed her luggage, opened the door and went out, followed the friend of the elder of the family all the way to the side entrance of the consulate garden.

A carriage has already parked there, and she will be taken to the port, where she will take a passenger ship to Pritz Harbor in the Loen Kingdom, and then return to Intis by detour.

Elaine has extraordinary anti-tracking skills, and carefully examined her surroundings, including the coachman.

The local aborigines are thin and strong, they don't like to wear hats, their facial features haven't changed from what they saw before, and their expressions are a little nervous, which is normal... After confirming, Yi Lian thanked the friend who was an elder of the family, and carried her luggage, boarded the carriage.

While the wheels were rolling, she pursed her lips and looked out of the window, only to see Intis plane trees sweeping back quickly.

This gave her the illusion of returning to Trier.

It is a metropolis full of sunshine. It is located in the area between the Lane River and the Serenzo River. It has beautiful scenery, many varieties of roses, and developed humanities and arts. It is a holy land for painters, musicians, and novelists.

That is the capital of Intis, the first truly cosmopolitan metropolis after Emperor Roselle rebuilt it, and it is also the hometown of Elaine, where she grew up, and she often sees it in her dreams and is for it. This city that shed tears.

After an unknown amount of time, Elaine suddenly felt that something was wrong, because the surrounding streets became more and more deserted and remote.

Although she has been active in the Misty Sea for a long time as a sea merchant, she is not familiar with Bayam in the Sunya Sea, but the "Hunter" of Sequence Nine can bring her enough vigilance.

"Is this route correct?" Elaine moved her position and asked the driver cautiously.

She's always ready to jump, ready to condense fireballs.

The coachman didn't look back, looked at the road ahead, and smiled flatteringly:

"My dear lady, this road is shorter and less prone to traffic jams.

"You know, Bayam has been built for many years. At that time, there were not so many people and so many carriages. Many streets were very narrow. Around noon and evening, it was very easy to be congested. Walking was faster than taking a carriage."

Yeah? Elaine thought about it and believed this statement, because she had encountered similar situations in many cities.

Trier is better. When Emperor Roselle remodeled the old city, he expanded the roads with great foresight. Even today, it is enough to use... Elaine just had this idea, when she suddenly heard the neighing of the stallion pulling the cart. With a cry, it seemed to be in some pain.

"Wait a minute, it seems to have stepped on something." The coachman stopped the carriage and jumped off by himself.

Elaine didn't think it was a big deal at first, but when she glanced out of the corner of her eye, she saw that it was a quiet alley with no one there.

Her heartstrings tensed instantly, and without hesitation, she was about to break through the carriage and roll outside.

Whether it was an overreaction or not, she felt it had to be done.

At this moment, a strong fear suddenly emerged in her heart, as if she was being targeted by a monster who was extremely hungry.

The pressure from the spiritual level made her hesitant to act rashly.

Immediately, she heard a deep voice:

"I won't hurt you.

"I'm asking some questions."

There were many thoughts in Yi Lian's mind, and she quickly weighed the various choices she could make at present.

In the end, she didn't run away blindly, and sat back in her original position under the pressure of the huge terror.

She planned to adjust her action plan little by little depending on the situation.

The door of the carriage opened, and the thin and strong native coachman came up and sat opposite Elaine. It was Klein the "Faceless Man".

——In order to act as the coachman, he specially practiced how to drive horses and vehicles, which was a skill he hadn't really learned in the night squad in Tingen City. In view of the tight time, he didn't have enough control, so he had to use the breath of "squirming hunger", and the successful horse became obedient.

At the same time, Danitz who was hiding nearby ran over, sat in the driver's seat, and drove the vehicle.

His felt hat was pulled low, and he was dressed like a real coachman.

Yi Lian bent her back slightly vigilantly, ready to pounce like a cheetah at any time.

She felt that the man on the opposite side was looking slowly over her forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, neck, chest, waist and legs, which made her extremely uncomfortable.

She had seen similar gazes and sizing methods in Intis, in Trier, and in those days when she was traveling on the sea. It was a hooligan, a disgusting guy, full of lust.

But this time, she strangely didn't feel insulted, and she didn't think that the other party wanted to tear off her clothes, imagining some abnormal pictures.

On the contrary, it's more like studying food... It's as if there is a cold and slippery snake swimming against my skin... Finally, Yi Lian couldn't bear it anymore, and she took the initiative to say:

"what do you wish to ask?"

Klein, who had fully grasped the opponent's physical features, leaned forward, his arms naturally resting on his thighs, and his palms were half-empty and half-solid:

"Have you heard of Jimmy Necker?"

Elaine recalled for a few seconds, then firmly shook her head in denial.

She frowned slightly and asked in confusion:

"Did you find the wrong person?"

"He's a rich businessman who likes to collect. Have you heard of someone like that from Tracy?" Klein asked again.

Tracy... Elaine sighed secretly, and responded seriously:

"No, she never mentioned rich merchants who like to collect."

Klein looked into the eyes of the red-haired girl, and said in an unhurried tone:

"Then does her room contain ancient documents of the Balam Empire in the southern continent?"

"No, she is not a person who likes to read these materials. She hates reading books so much that I even have to read novels to her." As she spoke, Elaine showed a wry smile.

"What novels does she read?" Klein asked without changing his tone.

"The classics of Roselle, as well as the popular love stories now." Elaine answered frankly.

Klein nodded:

"Does she have a collection room?"

"Yes, but except for her and a few mysterious visitors, no one else can enter, including me." Elaine recalled.

Klein was silent for a few seconds, maintaining his posture and saying:

"Tell me your story."

"Mine?" Elaine pointed to herself in surprise.

Klein nodded slightly, without repeating.

Elaine was stunned for a while and said:

"My story is simple.

"My father was a member of the Sauron family, the former royal family of Intis, and received a considerable amount of wealth, but he was addicted to alcohol, mistresses, marijuana, and gambling, and eventually went bankrupt.

"In order to repay the debt, I chose to accept some conditions of the family, became a Extraordinary, and went to sea to become a maritime merchant."

PS: I finally got over it today, and it is considered a recovery. Because there is no manuscript, the number of words in this chapter is a bit small, and it has not been revised. I have to make up the manuscript in the next two days. .
