"It's no problem. I'll let Funia keep the things for the time being. Let others take the dangerous things first." Luka said calmly, and then rubbed the silver-haired Loli's ears.
Chapter 154 "Father and Daughter"
Although Betty was wearing a hood at this time to hide her identity, her ears felt really good to the touch, and the soft and elastic feeling was very prominent even through clothing.
"So did you gain anything here? Did the guy named Alva do anything?" Luka asked while stroking Betty's head.
"No, that guy looks like an ordinary tailor. He sits in his shop every day, meets customers and makes clothes, and doesn't go out. I really don't see anything wrong with that." Betty curled her lips up a bit after recalling it for a moment. said.
"That's it..." Luka was thoughtful after hearing this.
He was not surprised that he did not find this. After all, this guy named Avar could lurk in the capital for so many years without attracting attention. He would definitely not expose himself easily. But if he had never left the house at all, how could he convey it to the outside world? What about the news?
"Has there ever been any magic fluctuation in his store?" Luka asked after thinking for a moment.
"No, we have been guarding here. Even if the magic wave is very weak, we can still feel it." Betty shook her head gently.
Luka frowned. This result was a bit beyond expectation. After all, if the other party has not left, there is no other better way than using magic to communicate... Could it be that some kind of secret code is used to communicate with other people?
It seems that if you want to find out the secret of Alva, you have to test it yourself.
Thinking of this, Luka asked Betty to rest here for a while, while he got up and took Elufa towards the tailor shop.
In order to hide his identity, Elfa at this time was not wearing an awe-inspiring gray robe as usual, but a very ordinary light blue coarse cloth shirt and a slightly faded old skirt. Even her red eyes were covered in red. She was covered by the contact lenses specially made for her by Ka, and after makeup, she looked like an ordinary city girl, holding her father's hand while shopping.
In a sense, the two of them now have this kind of relationship - according to the plan, Luka and Elufa will play an ordinary father and daughter in the next action and go to this tailor shop to buy some clothes.
"Well, if I behave unnaturally later, please remind me." For some reason, Elfa was a little nervous walking on the street. Luka could even see her eyes wandering. One hand was still clutching the hem of her skirt.
"It's okay, just relax." Luka was a little confused by her appearance, but still comforted softly.
"Hug, I'm sorry... Mainly because I've never been out on the street with people like this before, and I'm a bit unaccustomed to it..." Alfa, realizing that she was too nervous, immediately let go of her hand holding the hem of her skirt, then lowered her head and explained in a low voice. road.
"You have never gone out on the street to buy your own clothes?" Luka couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Elufa's words.
Although he knew that Elufa had always lived a relatively lonely life due to his special status, he did not expect that he would be so lonely.
"No, no..." Elufa lowered her head with evasive eyes, and then explained in a low voice.
"Because our identity is very special. As a non-human being specially trained to be a censor, I have not had much free time since I was a child, and I have to be careful about exposing my identity at any time, so I rarely go out."
“The church has always provided daily necessities such as clothes for free, so I have never bought them myself.”
so...
Luka looked at the girl who bowed her head and remained silent in front of her, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed in her heart. He stretched out his hand to rub the girl's head, and then said gently: "It's okay. You can tell me when you go out in the future, and I will go out with you."
"Hmm..." Elufa nodded obediently, then adjusted his condition and walked into the tailor shop with Luka.
The tailor's shop is not big, but the business is pretty good. There are several customers in line before Luka and Elufa, and they look like they are all civilians living nearby.
Faced with this situation, Luka could only look at the clothes and various objects hanging in the store to see if he could find anything.
The clothes hanging in the store look very ordinary in terms of style and material, but the workmanship is quite good. They are much better than the cheap clothes Luka bought when he had no money before. Even if he pulls them hard with his hands, there is no problem. ——In this world without sewing machines, it is already very good for cheap clothes to have this quality. It is no wonder that so many people patronize it.
This reminded Luka of the famous "plainclothes police pancake" meme from his previous life. If you want to disguise yourself without being easily exposed, it is still very important to practice skills commensurate with your identity.
Except for the clothes, the other furnishings in the shop were very ordinary. There wasn't even a baffle or a small room so that everyone could see everything at a glance. As a result, Luka couldn't find any clues after looking at it for a long time. He just thought it was an ordinary person. tailor shop.
Although the possibility of a hidden door or compartment cannot be ruled out, Luka cannot search this place now.
"Did you find anything?" Luka turned around and asked Elfa in a low voice.
"No...no, there seems to be something wrong." Elufa's tone was a little hesitant. He bit his lip and looked at a customer in front of him who was choosing clothes. After looking at it for a long time, he suddenly moved Luka to a corner where there was no one around. inside.
Luka was a little confused by her sudden move, but still cooperated and walked away.
"The guy I was looking at just now... smells of my own race." Elfa whispered in Luka's ear.
"You mean he is also a vampire?" Luka was shocked when he heard this and immediately looked at the person Elufa was talking about.
The other party was wearing a very shabby gray burlap shirt, a shabby hat on his head, and a pair of straw sandals on his feet. He looked like an ordinary farmer and not like a vampire at all.
"Hmm...I'm not sure. If it's really a vampire, he shouldn't be so thin." Elfa shook her head. She wasn't sure whether this was her own kind, but the other party The familiar aura on his body is definitely that of the same kind.
"Maybe he just has something similar to mine on him, or maybe he was sucked in blood not long ago." Elufa analyzed again.
"It makes sense..." Luka nodded in agreement, but he still felt something was wrong.
How could an ordinary farmer have something like a vampire on his body?As for sucking blood... Luka believed that if he were a vampire, he would never pick a middle-aged farmer who was covered in dirt and smelled of sweat. At least it had to be a beautiful little village girl.
Chapter 155
As the saying goes, if something is evil, there must be a ghost, and if something goes wrong, there must be a demon. This farmer may be the person who is in contact with Avar, but he is just pretending to be like this.Even if not, there must be some secrets about him.
While Luka and Elufa were talking, the farmer with a vampire aura had already chosen a cheap burlap top and walked to the boss Avar to prepare the payment.
Seeing this, Luka and Elufa looked at each other. After a brief eye contact, they immediately pretended to choose clothes. In fact, they slowly came closer, raised their ears and began to eavesdrop on the conversation between the farmer and the boss.
However, after listening for a long time, Luka didn't hear anything special except for ordinary bargaining, and he was inevitably a little disappointed.
Just when Luka was about to continue listening, the boss Aval seemed to be aware of their existence. He suddenly raised his head and looked at them with a smile. His eagle-like eyes immediately frightened Luka. A jump.
Alfa on the side put her hands directly on her waist. As long as the other party dared to make any move, she would immediately pull out the weapon hidden in her skirt and take action.
An invisible smell of gunpowder filled the air, but just when Luka was about to take action directly, the boss looked at Elfa and spoke.
"Oh my, you are such a cute little girl. Have you chosen your clothes? If there is no style you like here, just tell me and I can make a special set for you. I see you have been choosing there for a long time."
The boss's voice was calm, with a hint of elders caring for children, and it didn't look like he had figured out that Luka and Elufa were spying on him.
How to do?
Elufa secretly glanced at Luka from the corner of her eye, saw him making a "stop" gesture, and replied to the boss with a sweet smile.
"Thank you, but I still want to choose by myself for a while."
"That's it, it's okay. Just take your time and choose." The boss didn't say anything more when he saw this, but continued to talk to the farmer.
Luka, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief - if he hadn't calmed down just now, he might have been exposed.
This Avar must have been a very cunning guy for being able to hide for so many years. He might have been deceiving himself after discovering that something was not quite right between him and Elfa.
In order to avoid arousing the boss's suspicion again, Luka waited and looked and simply took off a pretty blue plaid dress from the counter next to him, and then called Elufa to come over and try on the length, so as to eliminate the suspicion. The other party was wary, but his eyes continued to look at the boss Avar who was still bargaining with the farmer from time to time.
Something is wrong. Even if you are a business specializing in poor people, have you ever argued with a farmer for so long over the price difference of one or two copper coins?
Looking at the two people still haggling at the counter, Luka couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
In that case, let’s try both of them.
Thinking of this, Luka directly folded the long skirt he chose for Elfa and took it in his hand, then walked straight to the counter, interrupted the conversation between the two and interrupted.
"Sorry, boss, I'm a little pressed for time. My daughter likes this skirt very much, and I'm going to buy it, but she's a little too long. Can you cut it? I'm a little pressed for time."
Luka pointed to the skirt in his hand, with an impatient expression on his face.
Luka's idea was very simple. If the boss was just bargaining normally with the farmer, then he had no reason not to help him deal with the skirt first. After all, he looked like he was leaving soon, and selling skirts was better than selling clothes. The burlap shirts are much more profitable, so there is no reason to struggle with money when opening a store.
However, Luka said several times that he was in a hurry and hoped that the skirt could be cut for him first, but the boss actually ignored him at all. Instead, he asked him to wait impatiently.
Luka, who had been rejected, returned with the skirt in his hands with a look of displeasure on his face, but his heart was full of joy - this old fox finally showed his tail.
If you don't do better business, you have to keep arguing with the farmer for the price difference of one or two copper coins. It's probably just a matter of bargaining and using some kind of secret code to exchange information.
"You stay here for now, I'll go out to buy some fruit." Luka, who had identified the target, told Elfa the secret code agreed in advance, and asked her to continue to stay in the tailor shop to monitor the two of them, while he walked to the Outside the tailor shop, after waiting far enough away, he used the communication crystal to contact Wei Yin and told the other party the information he had just discovered.
"So, dear, what are you going to do?" After listening to Luka's story, Wei Yin's questioning voice came from the crystal.
"Catch the living ones first, and then press for other clues!"
Luka's tone revealed a strong sense of excitement. This trip was worth it. He confirmed that there was something wrong with Alva and found a new prey.
What made Luka even more comfortable was that the guy who was connecting with Avar actually had the aura of a vampire on his body - which meant that Wei Yin could justifiably arrest him and interrogate him slowly by virtue of her status as a prosecutor, and solved the problem of Wang. It is not convenient to do it in the city.
"I understand, my dear, just let me know when he leaves there, and I will take him there directly."
"please."
……
A few minutes later, the farmer walked out of the tailor shop with his newly bought shirt tucked between his arms. He looked around and left without noticing anyone suspicious.
However, what the farmer didn't notice was that a short lolita and a gray-haired girl walked out of the corner next to him a few seconds later and followed him quietly.
After going around several times, the farmer, who felt that there was nothing wrong with him, secretly came to a remote hut in Nancheng District, opened the door and walked in.
"You're going to die, he's such a cunning guy."
Looking at the closed door, Betty, who was tired of following him, curled her lips. If Elufa hadn't been blocking her, she would have arrested the person halfway.
Elufa was not idle either. He immediately took out the communication crystal and sent a message to Luka. Then he and Betty surrounded the house to prevent the "farmer" inside from escaping.
But of course the "farmer" in the house didn't know this. At this time, he was using a knife to carefully cut open the burlap shirt he brought back, and then took out the note hidden in the sandwich.
Chapter 156 Penal Trial
The real name of "Farmer" is Vickers, and he is a mid-level vampire. Originally, he was caught by the local guard when he tried to suck the blood of a girl a year ago, and received the "Pale Hand" in prison. ” was invited to join and got a job as the new liaison officer of the royal capital.
In Vickers' opinion, this job is quite suitable for him. After all, as a vampire, he has long been accustomed to and learned how to hide himself in the crowd. He was only exposed because of his carelessness before. Now he has an organization to provide him with high-quality services. The slave sucks blood, and his disguise is absolutely flawless.
And the fact seems to be the same. During the year of activities in the royal capital, Vickers has not encountered any problems at all. He has not even encountered the people who are tracking him. Every time he goes on a mission, he simply takes the hidden items from the tailor shop. Just clothes with a note on them will do, don't take it too easy.
Although this mission was more important, from the perspective of Vickers who was used to it, it was just a matter of getting something.
However, this time after he returned to his residence, before he had time to read clearly what was written on the note, he heard a dense and orderly sound of footsteps coming from outside the door, followed by the sound of the door of the house being directly broken open.
"Come out, let the Tribunal investigate the case!"
A rude shout was like a thunderclap that instantly made Vickers' hairs stand on end - as a vampire who barely survives in human society, he is very aware of the significance of the word "Inquisition" to his existence. What does it mean? It would be nice to have a happy death.
"Damn it, why did the people from the Tribunal come looking for me!"
Seeing that it was too late to escape, in the panic, Vickers didn't care too much and hid the note directly in the safest place in his body - his stomach.
For ordinary people, they might die if they disembowel something to retrieve it, but for a vampire with strong regeneration ability like him, it's nothing. As long as he doesn't die, he can easily take it out again when the time comes.
"Give up resistance and capture without mercy!" Several men in gray robes with swords broke into the room and pointed their swords directly at Vickers and shouted.
"Who are you? Don't hurt me. I, I listen to you." Vickers pretended to be frightened and immediately squatted down with his head in his hands. He knew very well that confrontation with force was useless. The best option is to pretend so that they don't see their true race and pass as a "farmer".
Seeing that Vickers was so understanding, the men in gray robes did not embarrass him and escorted him out directly to Wei Yin.
"I will give you a chance now to tell you everything you have done, and I can fight for a quick death for you." Wei Yin looked at the vampire in front of her, cowering like a quail, and threatened with a cold expression.
However, faced with the opportunity, Vickers shook his head repeatedly.
"Don't kill me, I don't know anything."
"I don't know, so I can only deal with you according to the rules."
Wei Yin smiled, turned around and ordered: "Take him back and I will come and interrogate him personally."
After saying that, Wei Yin immediately threw up her sleeves and left, leaving a few men in gray robes to lift up Vickers and walk towards the black church where the Tribunal was located.
……
"I'll give you one last chance. Tell me everything you need to say, and I can make your death easier."
In the cell, Wei Yin, who was wearing a black uniform and holding a long whip, stared coldly at the inexperienced guy in front of her, and finally gave him a chance.
However, even here, Vickers was still pretending to be confused, shaking his head blankly as if he really didn't know anything.
"Sir...I, I am just a farmer. I don't understand what you want me to say?"
"...Okay, don't you cherish the opportunity given to you~" Wei Yin saw that the vampire in front of her was still pretending, and she no longer had the mood to continue, but turned to Luka beside her and asked.
"Honey, what do you think should be done to get him to talk?"
"Uh……"
Luka was a little confused after hearing Wei Yin's words. He was very skilled in interrogating girls, but as a man...he really didn't have the experience.
"In my hometown, before interrogating mortals, they would give them a hundred blows with a stick. I thought it would be good for him to experience it." After thinking for a moment, Luka thought that people in other worlds should be allowed to experience the traditional Chinese punishment of "killing the powerful stick".
"Bangzi? My dear... that's not the case, is it? Is the taste too strong?" However, when Wei Yin heard the word "bangzi", she immediately thought that Luka was going to do something, and she suddenly revealed An expression of disbelief.
"No, don't think nonsense!" Luka almost spit out a mouthful of old blood when he heard this, and immediately began to explain to Wei Yin what he meant just now, and by the way, he had to use a stick as thick as a bowl to hit her hard. A good spanking will do.
After hearing Luka's words, Wei Yin's eyes immediately lit up.
"Interesting, why didn't I think of such a fun punishment before?"
