I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle
#651 - Why does this person have no shadow?
"Idiot, it's the Magic Mirror of the Kingston family..."
Behind Danny, the bard huddled under the table, muttering softly.
"Oh, right, right..." When the flames were retracted, Danny noticed they were coming from the gaps in Jesse's armor, and he recalled the Kingston family's relic.
Seeing their knowing expressions, Li Yue didn't ask.
"What Magic Mirror?" Sawyer asked instead.
"Huh? Didn't you come back from 'that war'? Didn't you see Gerald use it?" Danny didn't expect Sawyer to not know.
Seeing how fierce they were when they fought, Danny thought they were both experienced warriors.
Li Yue's face was wooden, and he suddenly felt like his presence had been a bit strong just now, and he had been too proactive in the fight.
He wondered if it would attract unnecessary attention.
After all, he was a wanted criminal.
"What's his name?" Finally, Li Yue turned his gaze to Danny.
"They'll be going tomorrow too, right?" Sawyer asked Don Quixote and Jesse Khedira.
The knight in front of you once again reached for the hilt of his sword, but was stopped by Wu Zhen waving his hand.
"No." Sawyer shook his head, "Maybe there was, but the battlefield was huge, I don't remember."
"Jesse Khedira." Danny had long prepared a backup identity, choosing a name that perfectly fit the image of a traveler.
As long as he took advantage of Li Yue recruiting a group of heroes to go around Town Hall tomorrow, the unfinished business in Copper Mine Town would only be the Church...
Wu Zhen stood quietly, without any intention of reaching out, always with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Although she had forgotten "Van Helsing", she still had some lingering impressions of the strange face outside the domino.
But even more so, she didn't dare to call herself a traveler, lest she associate herself with this wanted criminal.
"Where's he going? The Cleaners and the New Church will want to interrogate us again later..." Sawyer asked, turning his head.
"Drank too much, going to the restroom." Danny waved his hand, squeezing through the crowd straight to the restroom.
Sawyer felt that he had fought alongside Jesse Khedira and Don Quixote, and had drunk heartily under the same table, so there was nothing to hold back in his words.
"Why doesn't he have a shadow?"
"Lord Li Yue, these are the photos taken tonight, please take a look." A secretary-like fellow brought up three photos on a copper plate, which were the ones taken outside the Copper Heart Tavern earlier.
Returning to the sewers was like returning home, Danny wiped off the copper mine disguise on his face, thinking to himself that it was lucky he left quickly, and wasn't hit in the face by the Clockwork Warrior...
When the floor collapsed, Danny had already lit up the Copper Heart Tavern, and now there was no reason to stay.
Danny quietly moved forward, preparing to escape to the restroom—Wu Zhen's attention to wanted criminals was understandable, but if he ran into the Cleaners and the New Church, he would definitely be recognized.
Li Yue's mind turned, and he understood—first compensate for the losses of the Copper Heart Tavern, then investigate responsibility.
"That photo... who is that person?"
So he vaguely glossed over it.
Otherwise, there were too many people in the tavern, and it would be easy to associate with that wanted criminal.
"Hero?" Wu Zhen questioned Danny's path.
Of course, he would definitely not join the hero group, as that would go against the path on the map.
"That one will do." Li Yue quickly glanced over them, selecting the scene of raising a glass with the heroes in the tavern.
In the town hall office, Li Yue was sitting and sipping tea, with three knights who had been tortured beyond recognition in front of him.
Jesse's guards tied up the 3 surviving knights, first throwing a gold coin to the tavern's bartender, and then tying him up.
The guards escorted the 3 prisoners, and the reporters had also put away the wooden box—they followed Li Yue's footsteps to the door, relaying everything that had just happened to the Cleaners and priests as soon as possible.
"You look a little familiar..." Li Yue frowned slightly, his gaze towards Danny becoming more and more doubtful.
"I hope Lord Wu Zhen can be more lenient, and not arrest us all for interrogation, delaying tomorrow's hero group test..." Wu Zhen changed her tone and called Li Yue "Lord".
After all, he had killed so decisively just now, it was impossible not to notice.
Li Yue withdrew his hand, not feeling embarrassed at all, his movements were very natural.
The mayor's report will be presented to Li Yue first, and then reported to the Empire.
"I also look forward to seeing you at the Town Hall tomorrow, we'll talk in detail then." Li Yue didn't ask too much, seeing the light coming in from the window, he got up to leave.
"You're good, I look forward to seeing you at the Town Hall tomorrow." Li Yue let go and closed the door gently, then walked to Don Quixote and extended his hand to him.
Also, because Li Yue had always been curious about Clockwork Warriors, wanting to test what level these famous creations of the Empire were, he unconsciously went a bit too hard...
With so many assassins hiding in the wine cellar, the tavern owner must be involved.
Danny was also becoming more open about acting in the underground mines of the Seven Gold Cracks, feeling that before the bard meeting began, he should have time to rush to Holy Mine Town and listen to whose epic was more moving.
"As you wish, Lord Li Yue." The secretary took the copper plate, picked out the seventh photo of raising a glass, and then suddenly froze in place.
But the strange human face projected by the domino, in a distorted way, existed in the deepest part of Li Yue's memory.
Danny was startled, thinking he was about to be recognized...
The photo Li Yue chose would be published on the front page of tomorrow's "Imperial News", as for whether it would be the headline... it would depend on the Empire's attitude towards tonight's eyeball rain.
This brief moment of gaffe was only captured by Danny and Wu Zhen, Danny couldn't turn around and run to the restroom now, he could only grit his teeth and wait.
The restroom window was open, Danny came to the back alley through the window, and also picked up a domino in the back alley before crawling into the nearest sewer, leaving behind the Copper Heart Tavern in the night wind and the holy dark light on the front door.
It's a pity that the skinny horse Rocinante wasn't there.
As the heir to the Kingston family, Li Yue would of course pay attention to the wanted lists of the Seven Gold Cracks.
He had also run away without a trace long ago.
The first photo of just sitting down was a bit rigid, the eighth photo of opening the wings was too calm, Wu Zhen chose the relatively violent seventh photo.
Recalling the fiery wings he had just displayed, Danny wasn't sure if he could escape from the siege of Li Yue and the Kingston family knights.
"Uh... just a non-believer still searching for his path." In front of Li Yue, Danny certainly didn't dare to call himself a knight, otherwise a casual question would reveal his lie.
The mayor's office had already been requisitioned by Wu Zhen, and the mayor himself was driven to work in the cubicle, frantically dealing with the aftermath of today's eyeball rain.
"I will go." Don Quixote nodded.
After all, the direction of that war might be hidden in the summary of "that war".
Thinking so, Wu Zhen slept in the sewers near the Town Hall, quietly waiting for tomorrow morning's interview.
As for whether the bartender was innocent, it would depend on how he performed.
Footsteps came from the street corner, and light shone in from the window, obviously the Cleaners and the New Church had received the news and came to the Copper Heart Tavern to arrest people.
And now going back to the restroom might be even more conspicuous, Li Yue could only try to remain calm and reduce his presence.
