Thief

  elf The thief is hiding in an alley in the lower city. The exit of the alley is the only way from the upper city to the seaside pier.

  It's not that there is only one street from the Uptown to Castletown Quay, but the distance is much closer from this street.

  His alley is a passage between two rows of small buildings. The alley is not wide. There are some useless construction waste piled in it, including wood, bricks and tiles, as well as some discarded wooden furniture, etc., which makes the original The small space seems even more crowded.

  The clouds in the sky turned into fish scales, and gusts of wind blew, and the air was filled with salty, wet and cold sea breeze.

  He pulled up half of the clothes on his body. The weather was not very good and it looked like it was going to rain.

  It's been raining lately.

  In Castletown, this kind of half-cloak is very popular in the downtown area, mainly because this kind of cloak is very convenient.

  Elfs who go out to sea will bring this half-length cloak when it rains...it can't even cover their buttocks.

  light...

  It will not affect walking or doing some outdoor work, such as catching the sea and carrying things on the dock.

  The only drawback is that your pants will get wet.

  elf The thief put the dagger on his waist into his arms.

  The rain at the seaside is very corrosive to this kind of ironware. If you don't maintain it with grease as soon as possible after being exposed to the rain, the dagger will soon rust.

  This dagger is one of the most important items for an elf thief.

  He chose this alley to ambush the youngster mainly because there was an escape route beside the alley. Even if his plan failed, he could still get into the alley and escape.

  Speaking of his plan, this is what the elf thief planned.

  When the human boy ran down the long street, the elf thief was ready to charge ahead from the alley while he was not paying attention, snatched the books from his hand, and rushed into the opposite alley.

  If that human kid still had a little bit of blood, he would catch up.

  elf The thief planned to lead him into the alley opposite. It was a back street, and it was still a life and death. This alley was full of the back doors of some shops, and there were usually some domestic garbage piled up. Even if there was no one during the day, it was an excellent place. Where to start.

  As long as he could avoid the sight of the human boy for a few seconds, he could hide himself again.

  When the human kid walked in, he walked around behind the kid, pulled out a dagger and slit his throat.

  Then he could run to the countryside overnight to avoid the limelight and kill the witness, so no one would know who stole the Holy Grail.

  While waiting for the human boy, it started to rain heavily.

  elf The thief was a little worried that the human boy would take shelter from the rain, so he covered his greasy head with the hood of his cloak.

  The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the elf thief stood in the rain and was shiver coldly.

  I thought the child wouldn't come, and was about to find a place to take shelter from the rain. He came back at another time...

  I saw that kid running out of the rain.

  elf The thief suddenly became nervous. Although it was raining, he didn't know whether the rain or sweat in his hands was rain.

  Just when he was about to charge ahead, suddenly another carriage rushed out of the rain, which made the elf thief hesitate. Then he found that the carriage was parked on the street opposite the alley entrance, completely changing his route to attack the human boy. It's blocked.

  elf The thief wiped the rain off his face and just cursed, when he saw several young Silvermoon Elfs jumping out of the carriage.

  He was startled and subconsciously wanted to run, but found that none of the elf's even glanced at him.

  elf The thief immediately retreated into the alley.

  He secretly picked at the cracks in the bricks and saw the few Silvermoon Elf moved towards the human boy chasing after him. The human boy stopped instantly, then suddenly turned in a direction and got into the dead end alley in advance.

  elf The thief stood stupidly in the rain and found that his plan had failed again.

  …

  It's still raining...

  Roy ran hard on the street. There was no one in the alley. When he saw that the alley was full of debris, Roy got in at one end.

  The young elf wearing a cloak followed Roy's silhouette into the alley.

  Because of the rain, the rotten smell in the alley was diluted a lot.

  Steve took off the hood of the rain hood on his head, which broadened his vision and also allowed him to see the terrible environment around him more clearly.

  "You can't run away..."

  he said fiercely.

  There is a lot of garbage in the alley, and the back doors of some shops are everywhere. There are some domestic garbage piled next to the back door. This garbage carries a putrid smell, and some garbage piles even have sewage flowing across them.

  Such a bad environment is like the end of hell for a few young elves who are usually pampered...

  Because it was raining, there was a layer of water on the ground, and some rotten peels were floating on the water, making the street look even more messy.

  Steve stepped forward, and the heel of his finely crafted lambskin boots stepped on a fruit core. The bad touch made Steve feel sick in his stomach.

  The young elves chased down the alley dozens of meters away before being forced to stop by the bad environment here.

  When Steve saw that none of his friends wanted to go inside, he could only raise his hand angrily and stop the chase.

  …

  Roy ran to the end of the alley, only to find that this alley turned out to be the same as life and death.

  But he couldn't go back the same way at this time. Although he couldn't see the shadows of the elf people behind him, God knew where they were hiding.

  At this time, he didn't know where to go.

  While he was hesitating in place, he suddenly saw a door being pushed open not far away.

  A shop assistant walked out with a box of household garbage.

  Roy didn't care what kind of store it was. He rushed forward a few steps and dived into the store.

  Drenched all over, he rushed in rashly along the narrow passage. The shop assistant was so frightened that he overturned the trash can in his hand and almost fell to the ground.

  Roy rushed into the shop and discovered that it was a tea restaurant.

  There are no real restaurants in elf cities because they just eat some fruits and fish.

  The food was monotonous and bland for an elf.

  Therefore, in Castletown, this style of tea restaurant has become popular. The set menu of tea and various fruits in the restaurant has become the favorite of young elves.

  However, due to the rain in this tea restaurant, there were almost no who in the restaurant, but there were a few elfs under the eaves at the entrance to take shelter from the rain.

  It didn't look like they had any intention of walking in for tea.

  Roy rushed in from behind...

  The clerk in the store thought they had met a thief. Several waiters in the store first heard a shouting, and then saw someone running in wet.

  "Hey! How did you get in? What do you want to do?"

  An elf waitress asked Roy.

  "Is he a thief? Stop him and don't let him escape..."

  The other waiters in the store responded immediately.

  How could Roy let them stop him? He hadn't stolen anything. He had two books wrapped in oil paper in his hand, and he shouted: "Borrowed, borrowed... I'm not a thief, I'm a student of elf Academy. It's just that I took a sidetrack, I borrowed it from time to time..."

  When Roy shouted like this, the waiters in the store hesitated.

  I didn't see him carrying anything, and he looked wet and embarrassed, so no one was willing to embarrass him.

  Running all the way to the front door and getting out, Roy pushed open the front door of the store without hesitation and ran out into the rain again.

  This is no longer the same street as before, and naturally we can't see the carriage parked in the rain.

  He didn't stop until he reached the corner of the street.

  He turned around and glanced in the direction of each street. When he saw that the group of young elves didn't catch up, he sighed in relief.

  He quickly left the street.

  I was still complaining in my heart: Sure enough, you can't just agree to strike up a conversation with others, even in the Academy. Nothing good will come of this kind of strike up conversation.

  He didn't even know that he had accidentally escaped a murder planned by an elf thief...

  Roy, who was running in the rain, suddenly stopped. Some rainwater got into his eyes, which made him feel a little astringent. He wiped the rainwater from his face, and the water on his hair was still dripping continuously.

  Roy suddenly thought:

  'How could I forget that the tavern has always been a home for thieves? The waitress Lucy didn't even listen to her detailed description, she just said that she couldn't remember the appearance of the thief... There was definitely something wrong. '

  I guess I can't get any information out of that tavern.

  In fact, you can also ask other taverns, but asking for information in a tavern usually requires paying money, or at worst, buying someone a drink...

  Roy thought that the temple would give him a salary of 400 kohler per week, so it would be okay to take out a few kohler to get some information.

  But since I was going to another tavern to inquire about the thief, I might as well ask Sabrina to help draw a portrait, which would make it easier to inquire.

  She had to paint the portraits of the escaped crew members at night anyway.

  Yes, just do it!

  didn't expect that the troubles that had troubled him for two days were solved while running in the rain.

  It seems that there is a good basis for exercise to make the brain work faster...

  Thinking of this, Roy continued running in the rain.

  In the distant rain curtain, the blurry shadow of Liberty Goddess Temple can already be seen.

  The port terminal also gradually appeared in outline.

  But the sea in the distance and the clouds in the sky are still gray, and the boundary line cannot be seen.

  In the Sea Territory not far away, there are some ships waiting to dock.
