from the wizarding world

Chapter 44

When the remnants of the evil gods secretly sneaked into the mountain capital, Zhang Xiaodao, who was far away at the other end of the gray area, also encountered some troubles at this time.

The name of her in Grayland is Catherine, and she looks completely different from her on Shuilanxing. With short hair, she looks very capable.

Zhang Xiaodao, who came to the Scarlet Flame Empire, was not as lucky as Su Xueqi, and directly became a member of the blood family, even though the Burton family was just a small blood family that declined, and Su Xueqi was only a collateral descendant.

But this is already a very lucky start, like Zhang Xiaodao, her identity in Huiyu was originally a helper in a shop.

He has no background and is just an ordinary person.

The encounter with her master Man Xiong gave her more choices, but because of this, she had a conflict with the Gentleman's Club and has been hunted down to this day.

Good luck depends on misfortune, and misfortune depends on blessing.

Today, she no longer cares about gains and losses, and her biggest obsession is to avenge her master, nothing more.

Now her greatest hope is undoubtedly Rorschach's promise.

But before that, she had to escape the pursuit of the Gentleman's Club in Grayland first.

Unlike in Shuilanxing, the Gentlemen's Club has too little power to use in Dayan, and Gao Tianlin is more threatening.

Other high-level people definitely don't want to set foot in the Great Flame unless necessary.

But it's different in Grayland, the base camp of the Gentleman's Club in Grayland is in Scarlet Flame Empire!
Especially the No. [-] Gentleman, the current boss of the Gentlemen's Club, came to the Red Flame Empire. Although few people know his identity in the gray domain, as one of the few Silver Knights of the Water Blue Star, the No. [-] Gentleman is in the Red Flame Empire. The identity of the empire must be extraordinary.

You must know that even in the gray domain, silver knights are not seen everywhere, and any silver knight will not be an ordinary person.

Luo Xia and the others had guessed when exchanging information before that Zhang Xiaodao's arrest warrant was probably related to the First Gentleman.

But these are not what Zhang Xiaodao needs to consider at the moment, because for her, the most important thing now is to get through this replacement first.

Only by truly becoming a ghostly attendant can she break through the predicament and have the hope of avenging Master Manxiong!
But her current situation is really not good.

Because of the fact that she had just been offered a reward, her arrest warrant is now hung in the most prominent place in Dujuan City, where everyone can see it.

In addition, the gentleman's club should be able to roughly confirm that she is in the nearby area, even if she is not in Dujuan City, she is in the two nearby small cities.

These three cities are like a net to her.

She can clearly feel that there have been some foreign search forces in Dujuan City recently, and these are likely to be people from the Gentleman's Club.

She is not a native resident of Dujuan City. If the other party continues to search like this, she will be found sooner or later.

She didn't doubt that.

"The Land of Dreams in the west of the city..." Zhang Xiaodao had memorized the name by heart long before the replacement started.

Not long after returning to Ashland, she came to the west of the city. She just inquired about it casually, and soon found the tavern named Land of Dreams.

This is just an ordinary-looking tavern, and the business can only be considered mediocre.

Even after Zhang Xiaodao walked into the tavern, no one came to entertain her, everything seemed so unreliable.

So much so that she wondered if Su Xueqi had made a mistake.

But it's all here, she definitely can't just leave like this, according to the method taught by Su Xueqi, she took the initiative to walk to the bar of the tavern.

The owner of the tavern was a middle-aged man who looked a bit sloppy. He poured himself a glass of wine and drank alone while eating fried fish.

Even when he saw Zhang Xiaodao, a customer, coming forward, he didn't intend to put down his wine glass, and asked with a greasy mouth:

"What to drink?"

"I want a cup of drunkenness." Zhang Xiaodao whispered.

"Huh?" The tavern owner obviously didn't expect Zhang Xiaodao's answer to be this, and immediately put down the wine glass and half of the unfinished fried fish in his hand, wiped his hands on his body, and smiled, "Why are you This girl, I almost didn't recognize her, why didn't you tell me in advance when you come here to play?"

Not far away, an old alcoholic saw this scene and teased, "Could it be your illegitimate daughter, Barton?"

"Shut up, Chasen, this is my second brother's precious daughter, the little princess of our Barton family." The tavern owner scolded with a smile.

Evidently, he was old friends with the customers in the tavern.

"Don't stand there stupidly, little Amy, come to your third uncle and treat it as your own home." The tavern owner motioned Zhang Xiaodao to follow him, and at the same time told a waiter in the tavern, "Yordel , I will leave it to you first, and I will arrange a room for little Amy."

"Of course, boss!" The waiter raised his glass and replied in a drunken voice.

"Just keep drinking, you bastard!"

The tavern owner cursed and walked towards the backyard with a small knife. This scene also made the old alcoholics in the tavern laugh.

Zhang Xiaodao didn't say a word the whole time, just following behind the tavern owner.

When he came to a room, the tavern owner opened the door first and walked in, and motioned for Zhang Xiaodao to come in with him.

After entering the room, the tavern owner went straight to a floor cabinet and opened the door, revealing a deep tunnel.

"Follow me—"

The tavern owner didn't explain, and stepped into it first.

Zhang Xiaodao didn't ask much, and followed decisively. At this time, the voice of the tavern owner came from the front:

"Please help me to close the door, thank you."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaodao immediately turned around and closed the cabinet door.

At the moment when she closed the cabinet door, her eyes suddenly went dark, and she lost consciousness.

……

"Me, where is this?"

The movement in the ear, as well as the slight shaking, made Zhang Xiaodao slowly wake up from the coma.

She gradually remembered that she went to the tavern named Dreamland according to the address given by Su Xueqi, and she also matched the code.

The tavern owner really understood something, took her to a room in the backyard, and opened a secret door for her to follow.

The last memory is that she closed the cabinet door behind her as requested by the tavern owner, and then suddenly lost consciousness.

"Could it be...she lied to me?"

Zhang Xiaodao's first reaction was that he was cheated by Su Xueqi.

But rationality told her that there was no need for Su Xueqi to do this, and there was no conflict of interest between the two parties.

If Su Xueqi wanted to be unfavorable to her, there was no need to beat around the bush like this.

Just as the battle between heaven and man was in her mind, the familiar voice of the tavern owner sounded in her ears again, with a hint of a smile:
"Okay, don't pretend, I know you're awake."
