Chapter 45 The Truman Who Didn't Show Up
It was the last step of the stairs, and after Hepburn stepped up, she suddenly turned her head and said to Hellen on the sofa:

"Hellen, thank you just now, good night!"

Hearon heard the voice, and his ears moved slightly:
"Thank me? Thank me for what? Thank me for not eating her just now? Alas... a woman's thoughts..."

After muttering something in a low voice, Hieren covered her coat and fell into a deep sleep.

Hepburn went back to the room and closed the door and leaned against the door. Looking at a big human-shaped hole not far away in the room, she couldn't help but covered her mouth and started laughing. Immediately, she remembered the horror of someone being kicked on the ground by her. look.He couldn't help sighing, and after a while, he pointed his chin with one index finger, and said to himself with some doubts:
"If you always bear it like this, will it suffocate him..."

……

The next morning, Hieren was awakened from sleep by a tangy aroma.

Opening her eyes, Hepburn carefully held a plate of steaming pastries and put them in front of her nose, waving her plain hands lightly, fanning the hot air non-stop.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Xillen teased and said, "Hey, why did our chef come online so early today?" He sat up straight and took the pastry plate.

Hepburn gave Helen a blank look, and said: "This is to make up for the damage I caused you due to my blind impulse last night, and to apologize for wronging you and having to sleep on the sofa for a few more days."

Shiron shrugged and smiled, went to the bathroom to wash up and finished this loving breakfast.

……

At the gate of Kenshen City, when the day agreed with the mercenary named Truman arrived, Hellen and Hepburn came to the gate of the city early in the morning and waited.

They waited from early morning to noon, and then from noon to dark, and it was almost time for the city gate to close, but there was still no sign of Truman and others.

"I remember that the time we agreed with him was today, could something have happened?" In a tavern at the gate of the city, Hepburn rested her cheek on one hand and stared blankly at the liquor in front of her.

Helen shrugged on the opposite side and said, "Maybe it's delayed by something, we'll wait and see tomorrow. Hmm... well, let's not come tomorrow, I'll just find someone to watch for us at the gate of the city. "

Hepburn nodded, drank the wine in front of him, and the two returned home under the moonlight.

Early the next morning, Hellen paid for a few local hooligans and asked them to keep a close eye on various places at the gate of the city to see if there was any mercenary convoy that looked like Truman.

After three days in a row, there was still no news. Truman and his party seemed to disappear suddenly, and no news came.

At the dining table, Hepburn bit her finger and said, "No, even if they regret it and don't want to ask for your help anymore, they will send someone to notify you. It's impossible to just disappear like this. .”

Xieren shook the red wine in the goblet, pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe something happened. After all, they are mercenaries, and they come and go in the wind and rain. Maybe something happened."

Hepburn nodded helplessly, and said, "Then what should I do? It's hard to find clues about the Watcher's armor, alas..."

Helen pursed her lips and pondered for a while, then said: "I remember that Truman seemed to be performing some escort mission when he separated from us last time, and their destination was also the city of Kenshen. In this case, the mercenaries in the city Maybe the guild will leave their message behind."

Hepburn frowned and said: "But the information of the mercenary guild is strictly confidential, especially the information about these employers. If we ask for it directly, they will definitely not give it."

A gleam flashed in Hellen's eyes:
"If they don't give it, we'll just go get it..."

……

In the middle of the night, the city of Kenshen, which was so bustling during the day, also fell silent at this time. Hellen was dressed in night clothes and stood in the living room talking to Hepburn.

"...Why don't I go? You have just broken through. There are many powerful people in the city of Kenshen. Even if I go, I will be able to withdraw safely." Hepburn straightened the collar of Hearon. , worried.

Helen waved his hands, put on another large black robe, which completely covered his figure, and said:

"Don't worry, have you forgotten that I have a skill called 'Shadow Stealth'? With that skill, even if I can't beat it, I can escape. Besides, have you forgotten what I used to do? , Let this kind of work be done by professionals!"

Hepburn sighed softly, and said: "Then you should be careful, if you haven't come back within an hour, I'll go to the mercenary guild to save you."

Xillen smiled confidently and said, "You can just wait at home with peace of mind!" After speaking, he turned and left.

"You wait first."

Hepburn reached out and stopped Hellen's movements.

"What's the matter, what else do you need to explain?" Helen asked puzzled.

Hepburn hesitated for a while, clutching her hands, and said, "Close your eyes!"

Helen frowned, not knowing what Hepburn meant, but she obediently closed her eyes.

In the darkness, Hellen suddenly felt something warm and soft wrapped around his body, but before he had time to fully enjoy Hepburn's embrace, the warmth left quickly.

"Pay attention to safety, this is just out of courtesy, well, you go!" A shy voice came.Helen opened her eyes to find that the girl had disappeared into the living room.

Raising his eyebrows, Hellen moved his limbs, took advantage of the night to leave the gate, and began to shuttle quietly in this quiet city.

……

According to the address given by Hepburn, Hellen was lying on the roof of a house, staring at the tall and magnificent building complex in front of him.

"The mercenary guild! It's built like that!" muttered in a low voice, and Hellen began to carefully observe the building in front of him.

After observing for a while, and having an approximate orientation of the guild building, Helen jumped off the roof, took two steps in three steps, and quickly moved to the back wall of the guild. What heard a sound came.

After pondering for a while, Helen felt a move in his heart:
"Sneaking in the dark!"

After eight seconds of invisibility, Hillen quickly started to act after escaping into the shadow plane.

Pushing hard on the ground, Xieren jumped into the air, clung to the top of the wall with both hands, and continued to use force to climb over the back wall.

Five seconds!

Half-squatting on the top of the wall, he quickly looked around.

There were no guards, and Hellen was relieved.

three seconds.

Helen took a deep breath and slowly turned over from the wall.

zero seconds.

After getting off the wall, Xillen quickly got into a bush and showed his figure.

"call……"

Heaving a long sigh of relief, Hellen wiped the sweat that oozed from his forehead.

It was the first time he did this kind of work, and Xillen was still a little nervous. He used to watch those male protagonists jumping over the roof and walls, going up and down on TV, and stealing information like picking something out of a bag, and thought it was not difficult.I didn't expect that it would not be as easy as I imagined to operate it in the field today.

Clinging to the ground, he waited quietly for a while, and found that there were no patrolling guards. Helen slowly left the grass and showed his figure.

Looking at the hall with locked doors not far away, Helen walked forward quietly.
