Chapter 363: Unexpected Disaster
"Lisanna, what do you want for lunch today?"
In the three-bedroom, one-living-room house, Ashe looked at Lisanna who was playing spirit cards with Lauren and asked.
"Just make some ordinary food. By the way, be careful when you go out to buy groceries. I always feel that the atmosphere in this area is a little wrong."
Seeing that Ashe was about to go out to buy groceries, Lisanna reminded her.
The area where they are currently located is inhabited by a large number of foreign populations, and such an environment has unsurprisingly become an outlet for the fear and hatred of local residents.
The local residents now look at everyone as the running dogs of the air pirates, causing chaos in the vicinity.
But there is nothing that can be done about it.
Eighty percent of the crew members on the slaughtered airships are from Eclipse Port.
"Well, okay, I'll pay attention."
Nodding gently, Ashe put on her coat and left the house.
There is a market not far from where they are now living. When the three of them just moved in, the things sold in that market were still good quality and cheap.
But as more and more airships were in trouble, the supplies outside could not come in, and the supplies inside could not go out. The prices of some goods rose steadily, becoming things that ordinary people could not afford.
Looking at the deserted streets, Ashe walked slowly towards the market.
In the shadows of the street, several idle guys followed Ashe, with wretched and anxious expressions on their faces.
They had not eaten for most of the day.
The vendors in the market had sold out their stocks yesterday. Guys like them who used to make a living by extortion and petty theft are now completely out of food.
Ashe's clothes, whether in terms of workmanship or material, are not something that ordinary people can afford. Coupled with her beautiful face and graceful figure, these gangsters immediately had evil intentions.
"MD, after this job, we have to have a good meal and drink. We need to be careful when we do it. If this woman is not high-ranking, we will lock her up every day..."
After wiping the saliva from the corner of his mouth, one of the gangsters discussed the issue of how to deal with Ashe in a lewd tone.
But at this moment, Ashe, who was originally walking on the street, suddenly disappeared.
The gangsters dared to swear that she really disappeared "suddenly". They didn't even see clearly whether Ashe had any special movements before she disappeared.
"Wait! Where is the person? This guy can't be a wanderer!"
Flusteredly looking for Ashe's traces, several gangsters were like hyenas who lost their meat, and their eyes began to turn bloodshot.
They had no time to think, and even subconsciously ignored the fact that Ashe might be better than them.
"Are you looking for me?"
Just when the three gangsters were about to walk out of the shadows, Ashe's soft voice suddenly sounded in the depths of the alley behind them.
The gangsters turned around and looked, but suddenly lost their sight.
Immediately afterwards, their recent memories seemed to be pulled out.
"Plop!"
The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground overlapped, and Ashe wiped the blood spots on her face and walked out of the alley.
"It turns out that they are just a few gangsters. I thought they were accomplices of slave traders or air pirates."
With a helpless sigh, Ashe continued to walk towards the market while reading the memories of these gangsters.
However, when she was halfway there, she learned from the memories of the gangsters that the market had been closed.
With a sigh, she turned back helplessly.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence or bad luck. When she just walked to the alley, she saw a few people from the Sheriff’s Bureau standing there. One of the sheriffs was trying to ask the dead for information at this time.
However, Ashe was an experienced person. When she killed these people, she deliberately made the scene a little big and made these corpses lose the ability to speak.
The effective object of the dead conversation needs at least a mouth, but there is no such thing in the corpses in the alley.
Pretending to not care and letting his eyes pass through the sheriff's officers, Ashe continued to walk at a leisurely pace towards the house rented by the three people.
But trouble sometimes comes to him.
After confirming that the body could not provide useful clues, the sheriff in the alley wanted to come out for a breath of fresh air, but suddenly saw Ashe.
His breathing suddenly became heavy, and the expression on his face suddenly became obscene.
"Wait! Ma'am! We need your cooperation in the investigation!"
Without hesitation, the sheriff shouted this universal sentence.
The two sheriffs who came with him looked at him with a slightly contemptuous look, but then leaned against the walls on both sides, looking forward to the development of the matter.
The sheriff who spoke just now used this method to persecute many people, extorting money from men and extorting bodies from women.
And as "colleagues", they can occasionally get a share of the pie.
Compared with the security of Khorvaire on the main plane, although these large cities on the Elemental Plane of Air are also learning advanced systems, the ethics of law enforcers are obviously far behind. Not to mention places like Eruden, Aundair, Zirag, and Thrane, even the Shadow Marshes are probably better than them.
If the races of these sheriffs were replaced with minotaurs or trolls, Hope might be able to feel the feeling of his hometown (Droam) here.
Hearing the sheriff calling her, Ashe did not panic, but turned around and looked over.
The subtle psychic energy expanded outward, and soon judged the malice and desires of these sheriffs towards her.
‘Oops, I forgot that the law enforcers here are all beasts in human form…’
With a gleam in her eyes, Ashe lowered her body and rushed forward.
Psychic energy shone from her eyes, and the eyes of the three sheriffs also shone with the brilliance of psychic energy.
With her hands open, Ashe was about to cast a spell of enchantment to modify the memories of these three people and then leave, but just as she cast the spell, the shoulder straps of the three sheriffs suddenly made a harsh sound.
Ashe's concentration was quickly interrupted. Without time to check the status of the three people, she directly activated psychic teleportation and teleported away.
“Click!”
In the three-bedroom, one-living-room house, Ashe wiped the sweat from her forehead and walked into the house.
Lisanna and Lauren looked at the door following the sound and found Ashe's abnormality.
Looking at her two companions, Ashe pursed her lips and said with some self-blame:
"Sorry, I seem to have caused some trouble..."
Then, Ashe told Lisanna and Lauren what had just happened.
"Are these things considered serious crimes in Eclipse Port?"
Like Carl, Lisanna rubbed her chin, and her voice could not tell whether she was happy or angry.
"I don't know, but the piercing alarms from the shoulder badges of the three sheriffs made me a little panicked. If Eclipse Port really wants to investigate..."
Thinking of this, Ashe gritted her teeth secretly.
Suddenly, Lisanna stood up from the chair.
"In order to prevent them from coming to our door, let's retreat first!"
With her hands clenched into fists, Lisanna said with a firm look in her eyes.
