I weave fate in parallel time and space

Chapter 105 Remuneration (Subscribe for the third watch!)
This place is even more humid than Skye Island, and there is a slight chill in it. Although Shaar's appearance is not as eye-catching as Alicia's, in order to avoid trouble, he still put on a cloak to cover most of his appearance. .

They walked through the forest and came across a small abandoned village on the way. The houses in the village were all low brick houses about two meters long, and the path paved with bluestone was soaked in water vapor.

Not far away, a slender waterfall flew straight down, washing out a small lake.

The village looked like it hadn't been lived in for a long time. Many broken tiles fell to the ground and were covered with moss. At least it must be a medieval building.

After passing through the abandoned villages, they never found such a gathering village again.

Except for some places where water resources are scarce, many rural houses are very scattered. There are no neat and row houses like small towns, and most of them are built next to their own farmland or pastures.

But by visual inspection of the surrounding houses, the population of this valley should be around [-] to [-], and the streets are also dirt roads, muddy after the rain.

Suddenly, Shaar seemed to have noticed something, and raised his head slightly to look at the roof of a certain house.

On the roof, a young man wearing special clothes and a hood was watching them secretly. When Shaar turned his gaze over, he quickly hid behind the house.

"There seems to be someone watching us over there." Sebas stared at the roof not far away, "Do you need me to deal with it?"

Shaar shook his head calmly, "It's okay."

"Is it someone you know?" Sebas seemed to understand something.

"I don't know each other, but it should be related to a friend I haven't seen for a long time." Xia Ya said.

Dressed in assassin clothes and a hood, there was only one person in this world who had this kind of attire in the past, and that was Hei Lang.

But obviously, the person who pierced the customer service should not be Hei Lang, otherwise he wouldn't have failed to recognize Xia.

The brotherhood Heilang wanted to establish when he came to Europe should have achieved certain results.

Although this assassin's movements are still a bit unfamiliar, for ordinary people, he is definitely a master.

The purpose of Helang's establishment of this organization is to find his sister and the existence of the mysterious organization that caused the Marquis of Oss to be parasitized by the nightmare.

And this mysterious organization seems to be looking for some kind of special treasure.

So, maybe that's why these frat people are here.

Sebastian nodded. Since he knew someone, he didn't say anything.

They went straight to the information center—the tavern, which is found in almost every place.

The tavern here fits the stereotype of many taverns.

There are some thick-haired rough guys who are drunk, their voices are very loud, and they are very noisy. Some people are even buckling their feet, and the strong stench is mixed with the smell of alcohol.

But what is surprising is that the waiters here are all teenagers, and the youngest does not seem to be as old as Arthur.

It seems that there has been no stranger here for a long time, so when Shaar and Sebastian came in, all eyes were on the two of them.

In a corner not far away, there were a few people wearing assassin suits and hoods, and they were also looking at this place from the corner of their eyes.

Shaar ignored these gazes, but walked directly to the bar.

The owner behind the bar is a Celtic woman with red hair tied back casually.

She looks about 30 years old, with fair skin like all Celtics, and three-dimensional facial features. The only fly in the ointment is a very hideous scar from the chin to the corner of the eye, like a bug, which affects the appearance very much.

"welcome."

The proprietress looked at Shaar and Sebastian, and she joked, "I really don't know what kind of wind is blowing recently. In the past, there was no stranger in Sleepy Hollow for several years. Recently, so many people came here at once."

Shaar smiled, found a place to sit down casually, and took the conversation, "And maybe, all the questions are about the same thing."

The proprietress stared at Xia Ya, her eyes gradually became sharper.

"You are so interested in the Headless Horseman?"

"The Headless Horseman?" Shaar's eyes showed a little interest, "Do you have a Headless Horseman here?"

The proprietress reacted, and said angrily, "Are you playing tricks on me?"

Char shrugged, "It's just a wonderful misunderstanding."

He took out a map from his body and handed it to the proprietress.

"I want to ask about this place."

The clairvoyance that Merlin's fate gave him can only see everything on the "now" timeline, and cannot see the past and future.

But in this work, Merlin can use his clairvoyance to calculate the future scene and make certain predictions, just like Laplace's demon.

So Shaar can also do it to a certain extent, as the weaver of fate, he should also do it.

But compared to asking directly, it must take a lot of effort.

Saying that, Xia took out a gold coin from his pocket and put it on the table. Although the currencies are not the same, the gold is real.

The proprietress' eyes lit up, she picked up the gold coin and looked it over, took a bite to test the authenticity, then clicked her tongue in amazement, "Your hand is much richer than that group of people."

She accepted the coin, then carefully looked at the map, frowning slightly.

"This is the Forbidden Forest?"

She looked at Shaar and said suspiciously.

"Aren't you here to find the Headless Horseman?"

There was a gleam in Shaar's eyes.

Presumably, this treasure must have something to do with the knight.

"Can you tell me about it? About the legend of the Headless Horseman." Shaar asked.

Catherine came back to her senses, shrugged and said, "It's not a secret, everyone in Sleepy Hollow knows it.

Legend has it that he was a brave knight under the Duke of Britannia before his death, and his head was cut off by the enemy because he died in battle.

So the British Duke buried him in Sleepy Hollow.

Every night when the moon is dark and the wind is high, he will ride a horse that is also an undead, looking for his lost head everywhere;
And whenever he sees someone who looks similar to himself in his lifetime, he will behead his head and bring it back.

Speaking of which, the end of April and the beginning of May are also the most common time for the legendary Headless Horseman to appear. "

"Has anyone here really seen the Headless Horseman?" Xia Ya asked with great interest.

Catherine shook her head, "Maybe the old man has seen it before. During this period, we would draw the curtains and close the door at night and wear gold ornaments.

Because the Headless Horseman is afraid of the light from the gold, which is his only weakness.

Although gold cannot harm the headless horseman, it can keep the souls of the residents of Sleepy Hollow from being taken away.

This is a custom handed down a long time ago. "

"Then there must be some people who don't abide by the customs?" Shaar asked.

Catherine nodded, "There are indeed, and indeed some people died in the suburbs during this period, but most of them died of accidents, and they were not beheaded."

Shaar nodded, looked at the proprietress, and said with a smile, "I don't know your name yet?"

"Catherine," said the landlady, "the boss here."

After a pause, Catherine said, "Do you want some wine? I can provide it for free."

"No." Shaar smiled, "Actually, I also opened a tavern in the past."

"Then do you plan to open one here?" Catherine said half-jokingly.

"Not really." Shaar said, "If I want to drive it, I will drive it in the urban area."

"Indeed." Catherine nodded, "A big boss like you who can take out a gold coin at will doesn't look down on a small place like us."

"I'm a little curious." Shaar looked around, "Why do you have children in their teens here, are they all your children?"

"That's right." Catherine nodded and said, "They are a group of children with no parents and nowhere to go. I give them a bite to eat, and they call me mother."

She seemed to want to say something, but at the same time, there was a little commotion in a corner of the tavern.

The two men fought and overturned all the tables and chairs along the way, and the wine bottles fell to the ground. The rumbling sound was accompanied by the cheers and cheers of the drunks around them.

"Marlene is mine, you are not worthy of her at all!"

"I'm not good enough for her, so are you? You delusional sewer rat!"

Catherine shouted angrily, "Stop it! Get out of here!"

But they didn't respond.

She yelled straight away, "Harlon, throw them out!"

Soon, the door curtain on one side of the bar was lifted, and a strong man about 1.9 meters walked out. With an absolute force, he pulled the two of them apart, grabbed the collar of one person with one hand, and threw them out. tavern.

"Calculate the loss, and send the bill to their home later!" Catherine said angrily with her hands on her hips.

In this era, those who can open taverns are generally local snakes. After all, they still need to deal with those very restless drunks and hooligans.

"I still prefer the tavern you opened." Sebastian whispered to Char.

Xia's eyelids closed slightly, but he didn't answer, but looked at Catherine, "Do you often get into fights here?"

"It's just those two idiots." Catherine said disdainfully, "Wolf and Baker are being played around by a woman."

"Is it Ma Lin?" Xia Ya asked, the two men had called this name when they quarreled just now.

"It's just a whore from a foreign country." Catherine said contemptuously, "I heard that she fled to Sleepy Hollow because she cheated other people's property outside. She just likes to pretend to be weak to seduce men."

It sounds like a green tea.

"Marlene and Woolf are getting married in the afternoon." Catherine continued, "But Baker is a little bit reluctant."

She sighed and said sarcastically, "Who made him richer than Woolf?"

"That's always been the case."

Xiaya smiled, instead of continuing to listen to this country gossip, he said.

"Thank you very much for your information, Ms. Catherine.

I hope my reward can satisfy you. "

"Satisfied." Catherine nodded and smiled, "Your gold coin has covered my turnover for several months."

Shaar closed his eyelids slightly, slowly got up from his seat, and praised Catherine.

"You are kind and beautiful."

Catherine frowned slightly. With the hideous scar on her face, she couldn't be called beautiful.

If someone else said this to her, she would definitely think it was a mockery.

However, there was no teasing or deliberate compliment in the words of the person in front of him. On the contrary, they were very sincere and made people feel disgusted.

Catherine frowned and replied.

"Thank you."

After nodding to Catherine, Shaar and Sebastian opened the door together and left.

Catherine watched them leave and murmured, "This is much more polite than the previous group."

"What are you here for?" The burly man named Haron came over and asked.

"I don't know." Catherine shook her head, "It seems that they are also here to find the Headless Horseman."

Haron frowned, "Isn't that a legend many years ago, does this really exist?"

"I heard that a headless horseman was seen in a nearby village, and someone else was beheaded." Catherine said as she waved the gold coin in her hand.

Haron nodded solemnly, "Recently, it has become more and more uneasy. I heard that the West Francois have gone crazy recently, not only fighting the Britannians, but also hitting the British Isle.

I don't know if it will spread to our side.

Now there are so many foreigners here again. "

Catherine took a deep breath, then let it out slowly.

"What do you think about so much, we are far away from West France."

As she said that, she was about to lock the gold coin into the cabinet on the side.

But the next moment, under Catherine's gaze.

The gold color on the gold coin was slowly fading, and after a while, the originally golden gold coin turned into an ordinary stone.

"What's going on?" Harlon obviously saw this scene as well.

"I don't know." Catherine was also a little flustered, "I obviously"

After a pause, she seemed to have realized something, her face flushed visible to the naked eye, and she said through gritted teeth.

"That person must have used some trick to deceive me, this group of damned strangers!"

Catherine looked at Harlon and said sharply, "Halon, chase after me, they won't be far away!"

But Harlon was indifferent. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Catherine's face in disbelief, as if he saw something weird.

"Catherine you... your face."

Catherine frowned slightly, Harlon's expression clearly stung her.

The corners of her mouth drooped, and she said displeasedly, "What's wrong with my face?
It's all like this, how ugly can it be?

You said you don't dislike me! "

"No." Harlon's tongue twitched a little, and he said in horror, "the scar on your face is gone!"

"What?" Catherine didn't seem to hear clearly for a while.

"I said, the scar on your face is gone!" Haron shouted again.

His voice seemed to attract several people around him.

They also turned their attention to Catherine, and then their eyes lit up, and they said in surprise.

"It's true, lady boss, your scar is gone."

"Boss, what medicine did you take?

The scars of these decades can be healed. "

"Speaking of which, the proprietress is so beautiful."

Listening to the conversations of the people around, Catherine also gradually believed in Harlon's words.

Her breathing was a little short, and she stretched out her hand tremblingly to touch her face. The raised, hideous, bug-like scar could no longer be touched.

Instead, it is extremely smooth skin.

She looked at Haron and said with tears in her eyes, "Where's the mirror?"

"Didn't it all be smashed by you?" Haron said helplessly.

Because of the scar on her face, what Catherine hates most is the mirror.

Sometimes he can't even shave well.

Catherine quickly picked up a basin from under the counter, filled it with water, and gradually stabilized with the water waves.

Soon, she saw the beautiful face in the water basin, with smooth skin and no blemishes
Tears rolled in her eye sockets, and she covered her mouth a little excitedly to keep herself from crying.

Suddenly, what the stranger said just now flashed in her mind.

"I hope my reward will satisfy you."

She seemed to realize something, pushed open the door of the bar, ran out of the tavern quickly, and ran to the village road to look around.

But at this moment Shaar and Sebastian have gone far away, and they are completely invisible
