Chapter 3005 Fox

Dinner was spent messing around.

In the next few days, I would spend at least ten hours in the tavern every day, cooking wine and talking to Xi Lan.

As the saying goes: Street corners, casinos and custom shops are the best places to get information.

I just want to say: What the saying goes is true.

After several days of inquiring, I have a better understanding of Xi Lan’s whereabouts.

The most recent piece of information appeared twenty years ago.

Xi Lan once had a drink here, and easily eliminated a dozen pursuers from the Ka Xiu sect who lurked in, waiting for an opportunity to take his head.

I was very curious and asked the tavern owner: "Why are you so sure that person is Xi Lan?"

The tavern owner said confidently: "In the demon world, the only adventurer who is completely unafraid of the Kashu sect and can kill more than a dozen masters with a snap of his fingers, and the weapon is a tachi, is Xilan."

Wonderful reasoning!

I think I should give this tavern owner 82 points and 666 points.

After killing the adventurers sent by the Kaxiu sect to follow and kill him, Xilan did not leave immediately. Instead, he stayed in the tavern for three more days and did not choose to leave until he spent all his money.

I asked the tavern owner Xi Lan where he went after that.

The tavern owner said he didn't know, but what was certain was that Xi Lan left the city directly.

Later, the tavern owner recommended to me the former city guard and told me his home address.

Carrying the wine jar, I came to the guard's house and found the guard.

Now, the guard has retired. His main job is to entertain the grandchildren at home, his side job is to brag with the neighbors, and the job of guarding the city gate has been handed over to his son.

Seeing me visiting him with a wine bottle, the old man quickly saw through my intention: "You are here to inquire about Xi Lan, right?"

I was very surprised at the time and asked him why he knew it. Did someone tell him?

The old man said that no one told him and he guessed it himself. After all, a mere gatekeeper was not worthy of anyone visiting with gifts. The only possibility was to ask him for information related to Xi Lan.

I was impressed by the old man's wisdom, so I put down the wine jar and asked him directly about the direction Xi Lan left that year.

The old man stared at me for a while and then suddenly said: "You are not from the Kaxiu sect. Tell me why you are looking for Xilan?"

I didn't hide anything and confessed directly: "I came to Xi Lan for two things. The first one is hard to explain clearly, but the second one I can tell you is that I was entrusted by someone to ask Xi Lan if he wanted to return to his hometown."

"Entrusted by someone?" The old man smiled ambiguously, and said seriously: "Is he entrusted by a woman?"

"Yes, it's a woman. You should have guessed the identity of that person, right?"

The old man smiled and said nothing.

Then he told me that Xi Lan went south. According to his guess and judgment, there were two possibilities. One was to make money, drink and enjoy life in the southern wine city, and the other was to continue assassination. Apostle, after all, he has done this before, more than once.

Hearing this, I seem to understand why Crying Eye Held has been posting wanted notices for Xi Lan until now. Anyone who has been entangled by a buzzing insect many times will definitely Hate it to the core.

Moreover, Xilan is not a docile creature like an ordinary insect, but a fire ant that can hurt her or even kill her.

Then the old man used the unique advice of the elderly to remind me that I had better be mentally prepared, because even if I find Xi Lan, he may not go back with me.

I asked the old man doubtfully why he said that. Is there any basis for it?

The old man told me that there was no basis, but intuition, and

While talking about this, his son came back from get off work, bringing his daughter-in-law and the hot meals he bought.

Seeing this, I didn't want to stay any longer and left directly.

The next day, when I visited the old man again, he seemed to have forgotten what he had not finished yesterday.

In line with the fine tradition of respecting the elderly and caring for the young, I put down the souvenirs and left the old man's house silently.

To be honest, I don't think the old man has forgotten this matter, but he doesn't seem to want to answer me.

I couldn't figure out the reason, and I was leaning on my chin in deep thought. To my surprise, the blue witch next to me moved from the other side of the bed to the other side of the bed. She put her chin on my arm and enlightened me in a muffled voice. After a while, the content is very simple: he didn't say that this matter is actually easy to understand, perhaps because he feels that as long as you find Xi Lan, all doubts will be solved.

I have to say that what the Blue Witch said makes sense.

Agreeing with the Blue Witch's idea, I finally got a good sleep that night, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to sleep.

In the next few days, I found very little useful information in the tavern.

So I came up with the idea of ​​leaving.

I prepared various bagged snacks in advance, bought a lot of roast chicken, roast duck, air-dried beef, grilled lamb chops, and a lot of fresh vegetables. The four big men said hello and left.

When I left, the four big men from the General Administration specifically reminded me that no matter which town I went to, I should try to stay away from the Kaxiu Sect and the Second Agreement. It is said that these two organizations have already appeared in some towns for a brief and violent period. The friction caused no casualties at all, but the situation has arisen now, and it is estimated that the Demon World will usher in the latest turmoil before long.

The big man in the lead also told me that if it was really chaotic outside and it was difficult to survive, I could come to Liquor Town. This place is a neutral zone and is safer than other towns.

I waved to them, got on the motorcycle and left.

To be honest, if I were not from the Zephyr Continent and if I didn’t have a sense of belonging in the demon world, I would really want to live my life in the Liquor City.

Although I was involved in an assassination within a few days of my stay, compared to the glitz and irritability of other towns, this place is more rustic and simple than anywhere else.

The unscheming drinkers, the simple and silly city guards, and even the six major organizations do not have a base here. When I think of this, I suddenly miss the wine city.

Even if it's just less than an hour after leaving the wine city.

Liquor City seems to be the geographical dividing point of the northern region.

To the north of the wine city, it is almost desolate, except for the overgrown weeds and only hares.

To the south of the wine city, there are more and more vegetation and animals and insects.

After driving for less than an hour, I saw a group of foxes chasing some house mice.

House mice are quite fast, seemingly faster than foxes, but they are not as cunning as foxes, and they are not as united as foxes. When chasing, some house mice will fall behind, flee in other directions, and then be caught and bitten. die.
