#118 intelligence
As soon as Irina came in, she instantly killed the audience. The bar, which was still relatively quiet, was suddenly filled with whispers and discussions about Irina.
"You seem to be very eye-catching... Also, it's you who was late for three to five minutes!"
I said helplessly to Irina.
And Irina didn't care about my words.
"Don't worry about so many details, this is not something a gentlemanly man cares about~"
"I'm a gentleman, really, I won't lie to you!"
I said seriously.
Gentleman!Writing Gentleman, reads as...huh?
"You brought this girl too?"
Irina turned her head and saw Liz in front of me, she seemed a little surprised.
"Then why not?"
"I thought you were going to send her off this morning!"
"Please, don't you sleep in the morning? Even if you don't sleep, I will sleep too, okay? I spare my life, I don't want to die suddenly!"
I raised my eyebrows and said to Irina.
"Sit down quickly! Otherwise, those men want to invite you to sit with them!"
I patted the chair beside me and said to Irina.
I'm not lying, there are really a few men who want to stand up and look for Irina!
In this regard, Irina just smiled lightly, and walked over with two slender but not weak legs.
Although it is said that people depend on clothes, Irina's figure, even wearing such neutral clothes and pants, still cannot cover her graceful figure.
Irina walked up to me and was about to sit down when Liz stopped her.
"Wait a moment!"
Liz said suddenly, and Irina and I were taken aback.
I saw Irina stood up from her seat, walked to my side and pulled Irina aside, and sat next to me.
"What are you doing?"
"Don't do anything!"
Liz turned her face away as if she was competing with me, and said angrily.
Maybe it was because of Irina's attitude towards her before, which made her very unhappy?That's why I want to "bad" Irina, but this "bad" is a bit childish.
I shook my head, looked at Irina, stretched out my hand and pointed to the opposite side of me, signaling her to sit over there.
"It really is a child~"
Irina smiled and sat on the chair, her gaze fell on Liz.
But Liz turned her face away mercilessly, not looking at Irina, as if she was angry with her.
"Hey, hey... you two didn't come here to fight, let's get down to business!"
I sighed and thought to myself, why are these two people so difficult to deal with?
"That's right, let's see!"
As Irina said, she took out two documents-like papers from her body, placed them on the table and pushed them forward.
"Here is the information of Yang Xin and Lizde. Although I deliberately investigated it, it seems that for some reason, I couldn't get much information at all."
"You mean...someone deliberately concealed part of the information?"
"You can also say that? Most of the intelligence dealers seem to have concealed their information. They must have received benefits and coercion from someone, right?"
"Coercion?"
I blinked, but didn't understand what this "coercion" meant.
"Information dealers are a very free profession, but if someone with strength and power deliberately wants to erase the information, killing these intelligence dealers is not a wise person would take."
"They will put pressure on the intelligence dealers and give them a certain amount of hush money?"
"That's right! I got these information from an informant I've been friends with. Although it's not much, it's much better than other people's. This is the limit he can do for me."
Listening to Irina's words, I wondered when did Irina investigate this?It's only been seven or eight hours since we separated last night, right?Could it be that she didn't sleep and spent all her time investigating?
"I did not sleep, but for adventurers, it is normal to not sleep for a few days. After all, some tasks cannot be completed in one day."
Irina seemed to understand what I was thinking, and spoke directly.
"Huh? How do you know what I want to ask?"
"Your thoughts are all written on your face~"
Irina smiled coquettishly, making me swallow.
Why is this guy smiling so seductively?I suddenly felt that the cold expression she had before was better.
But that should be her attitude towards strangers, and although I am not an acquaintance to her, I can still be regarded as a "comrade-in-arms" after all, right?
"Ha...haha...that's it!"
I laughed, raised my hand and picked up the document in front of me, flipping through it page by page in front of me.
"Speaking of... why are you so concerned about this matter? Not only this matter, but also the group of thieves before, you said that you don't want a reward, just credit, and you came to rescue me last night..."
What I mean is very clear, simply ask Irina, what exactly is she trying to figure out?
After I finished speaking, I looked at Irina, she didn't have any special expression.
"Well, if I really want to talk about why, because I just want to complete these tasks so that my adventurer level can be raised quickly. I saved you because I have cooperated with you anyway, so it's okay to lend a helping hand. And, it's also because I extended a helping hand to you, now the task of arresting two wanted criminals is in my hands, isn't it?"
Instead of drinking, Irina ordered a cup of coffee and slowly stirred it with a spoon.
"Is the level of the adventurer so important?"
I continued to ask.
But this time, Irina seemed a little shaken and didn't answer me directly.
She raised her eyebrows, but her expression returned to the original one.
"Of course it's important. Upgrading to a higher-level adventurer means higher mission priority, more rewards, more power, and more information. Do you think it's that important?"
Irina looked at me with a half-smile.
But when she said that, I understood and nodded quickly.
……
"I really didn't expect you to keep a weapon with such an attack range. Just in case, let me confirm again. Did you really not lie?"
Before parting with Irina, Irina said to me.
"No matter how much I like to joke and be unserious, I can't take such a crucial matter seriously? Don't worry! If this condition is met, at least one of the two of them will be abolished by me!"
I said confidently.
I've wanted to use this weapon for a long time, but unfortunately I didn't have a chance. Now it's finally time to use it!
After parting from Irina, Liz and I stood at the door of the bar, looking at each other.
"Now send her away, Miss, I should also send you home, right?"
"go home……"
Liz murmured, didn't answer my words, just repeated "go home".
"Liz? What's wrong?"
Seeing that she didn't seem to be in a good mood, I was a little concerned and asked.
"Well... let's go home!"
Liz nodded and said with a smile.
#119 Sending Liz home
"Now send her away, Miss, I should also send you home, right?"
"go home……"
Liz murmured, didn't answer my words, just repeated "go home".
"Liz? What's wrong?"
Seeing that she didn't seem to be in a good mood, I was a little concerned and asked.
"Well... let's go home!"
Liz nodded and said with a smile.
On the way to the stables, Liz told me about her family, which gave me a general understanding of the "Hill Family" where Liz belonged.
Their family is not aristocratic, but even though they are not noble, they belong to that kind of wealthy family among the common people.
The Hill family started through business, and it took nearly a hundred years to reach the current height.
They have a lot of industries in this country, and have even started to enter other countries. Although they can't be said to be incomparably rich, they can be regarded as a first-class family.
Liz has two older sisters and a younger brother at home, and her mother died of illness many years ago.
"I heard that in this country, common people don't have surnames, but your family..."
"You also know that we are a family! Of course you have to give yourself a surname to make sense! Although civilians don't have surnames, this is not stipulated by the law. There is no law saying that civilians cannot have surnames."
Liz gave me a blank look and explained.
I suddenly realized and nodded, rode on Snow Flower's back, and stretched out my hand to Liz.
Liz blushed and turned her face away.
"What's wrong? Come up!"
I'm very surprised, why can't I get on the horse?What's wrong with me?
Just thinking about it, Liz put her little hand on my palm.
"Understood, let's go..."
Liz said in a low voice, if it wasn't for my enhanced hearing, I wouldn't be able to hear her voice.
After pulling Liz up, I flicked the rein in my hand, and Snow Flower flew out of the city, towards another city.
A town not far from Kador - Zerast.
"Speaking of which, how did you get captured by that group of people? Logically speaking, shouldn't a young lady like you be well protected?"
On the way to Zerast, I turned to Liz and asked.
This kind of eldest lady, not to mention having a bodyguard following her, at least she must have a few decent bodyguards, right?
If there is such a person, I am afraid that in those bandits, as long as Nikki and Lauulo do not take action, Liz will be well protected and will not be taken prisoner by them.
And if Nicky and Lauulo made a move in person, then Liz would definitely have an important effect on them, right?It shouldn't just be locked in that kind of place, and the guards are still so weak.
There must be something wrong here.
"Liz?"
Seeing that Liz didn't reply for a long time, I called her again.
No, Liz's appearance is definitely not right. Why does she always lose her mind when talking about her home, or when she was arrested?
I frowned, and my heart was a little tangled, because I didn't know how to speak. Liz must have something on her mind, but if I asked directly...would it be bad?
You have to find a suitable entry point, and now, let's divert her attention first, shall we?
"Hey Liz, when you're bored, do you come out to play?"
"Eh? Uh... yes!"
Liz didn't expect me to change the subject suddenly, and she was taken aback for a moment before hurriedly answering.
