"It's her?" Du Dian recalled the smell coming from the carriage, his eyes flickered slightly, and after a while, he set off to pursue the direction where the smell came from.
after an hour.
Following the trail left by the smell, Du Dian came to a nearby small town. The streets here were relatively dirty. Rats occasionally ran through some dark alleys along the way.
Du Dian stopped in front of a huge manor on the edge of the town, and saw the carriage that passed behind him before, parked in a corner of the manor, and there were seven or eight other carriages near the carriage. In terms of shape, they are not professional carriages on the street, but privately built vehicles, with different fabrics and structures.
Du Dian stood at the corner, looked at the manor, and soon noticed that the lawn of the manor was very clean, and there were four guards at the door. Behind the other walls of the manor, there was a fixed smell, and they went back and forth along a fixed route Fluttering, it should be the patrolling guard in the manor.
Du Dian looked at it carefully, and said in his heart: "It really is her!" Turning around and leaving, he went to the town for a stroll, and soon found a tailor's shop, entered it, and said to the boss: "Make me a suit The robe, I want it now."
The boss is a curly-haired woman. When she saw a guest coming in, she quickly greeted her warmly and said, "Please sit down, the robe is very convenient, and it will be ready soon."
Du Dian nodded.
Looking around in the store, I suddenly smelled a faint fishy smell. I looked in the direction of the smell, but it was coming from the wall behind the tailor shop, which was extremely hidden. women.
The curly-haired woman just turned around and asked, "What color do you want?"
Du Dian's eyes moved slightly, and said: "Black, linen will do."
"Okay!" The curly-haired woman turned around and picked out a piece of black cloth, and took out the scissors to cut it. In this era, mechanical energy has not been used, and the sewing machine has not been invented.
Du Dian silently looked at the back of the curly-haired woman, and suddenly found that the color of her nails was light red, and there were still some residues in the gaps. With his eyesight, although they were several meters away, they seemed to be closer to watch carefully. It can be clearly seen that these dregs are minced meat!
"Is it a murderer? Or an alchemist of the life faction?" Du Dian was secretly stunned. He didn't expect to find a tailor shop in this small town and encounter such a thing. Thinking of the many carriages parked in front of the manor, He had a faint feeling that he seemed to have entered an incredible alchemy stronghold.
After a while, the curly-haired woman handed the finished black robe to Du Dian and said, "Please change it to see if it fits."
Du Dian didn't wear it, just looked at it, and said: "It's okay." After paying the money, he picked up the black robe and turned away. As for the mask, although it was sold in this store, he still gave up buying it, otherwise it would be a black robe and a mask. The mask is too weird. If the other party is also an alchemist, they will probably use this to guess his identity, and thus leave information about his face.
Du Dian came to other shops in the town and bought ink and pens, as well as plush dolls, masks, and flowers.
When he came to a small hotel, he threw the plush doll aside, dipped a pen in ink, and carved an alchemy tattoo on his chest. After a while, the previous black cross tattoo was branded on his chest again. He asked the boss for some coal , Dot it in the room, dry the ink on the chest, then crush the flowers, smear the juice on the chest, tear off the remaining petals, and throw them in the interlayer of underwear.
Finally, holding the black robe and mask, he left the hotel.
Before returning to the manor, Du Dian was at the corner, and while no one was paying attention, he changed into a black robe and a white cat mask he bought at random, and then walked towards the manor.
"Who is it!" The four guards noticed Du Dian, and waited for him to get close before yelling and stopping him.
Du Dian said: "Get out of the way."
When the four guards heard the strong voice behind the white cat mask, they looked at each other. One of the guards calmed down a little and said in a low voice, "Do you have an invitation card?"
Du Dian frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said quickly: "I didn't bring it."
"No?" The four guards were stunned for a moment, and their faces turned cold immediately, "Please leave, this is a private territory, no entry is allowed without an invitation."
Du Dian said: "I'm here to find a friend, please help me to report, she just came here, her name is Nightingale, she has an invitation card, I made an appointment with her to come here today, she can prove my identity."
The four guards looked at each other, and one of them shook his head and said, "No, we are not responsible for reporting here."
Du Dian's voice became cold, and he shouted lightly: "Don't be ignorant of flattery, if you delay today's big event, you can't bear the responsibility!"
The guard frowned slightly, and said with a sneer: "Stop talking nonsense, it's just my master inviting friends to hold a private party, no big deal, no matter how much you talk about, we can only ask you to leave with strong means."
Du Dian didn't expect the doorman to be so difficult, so he could only say: "Really, how old is your master? Even a mere doorman has such a big face?" His words were full of anger, and he seemed to blurt out in anger.
The faces of the four guards suddenly changed. The previous man looked at Du Dian carefully and said, "You said you were looking for Nightingale, right? I'll go in and ask if there is such a person. If not, don't blame me." We're welcome!"
Du Dian snorted coldly, and said: "Just say that it was her old friend three years ago, and the hound was looking for her."
"Hound?" Hearing this obviously a nickname, the four guards looked at Du Dian's face a little more relaxed, and the guard turned around immediately and ran into the manor.
After more than ten minutes, the guard returned, but his attitude became more polite, and he said in a humble tone: "Wait a moment, I will notify you, she will be fine soon."
Du Dian stood with his hands behind his back, waiting quietly.
A moment later, the door of the manor was opened, and a tall figure wearing an owl mask came out holding a skirt. She was brightly dressed, and from her attire, she looked like a common masked ball attire.
After a while, Nightingale came to the door, looking at the white cat mask outside, feeling a little puzzled, and said, "Are you a hound?"
Du Dian heard this beautiful and mellow voice. Although it was slightly changed compared to three years ago, it was clearer and more mature, but it was still the familiar tone. Knowing that his nose was right, he immediately said: "Mouse, poisonous snake, nightingale, Hound." Say four code names in a row.
Nightingale was slightly taken aback when she heard that, pondered for a moment, and said, "Can I see your tattoo?"
Du Dian nodded slightly.
The guard next to him opened the door, and Du Dian came to her, lifted up the black robe on his chest, and opened his inner shirt, revealing the black cross tattoo on his chest.
After taking a look, Nightingale breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect it was really you. How did you find me?"
Seeing that Du Dian's identity was confirmed, the four guards beside him also breathed a sigh of relief.
Du Dian said: "I've been wandering around this town recently, and I accidentally saw you today."
Nightingale's owl mask revealed a pair of clear eyes, looked at Du Dian playfully, and said: "No intention, I haven't seen you for three years, and you still recognize me, it's not easy to explain."
When Du Dian heard her relaxed and teasing tone, his heart trembled, his mind turned quickly, and he scratched his head and said: "Well, I also heard it from my friends, but I'm not sure if it's the same person, so I took the risk to try it out today. Try and find out it's really you."
Nightingale said with great interest, "Friend? Which friend? If you tell me, I might know you."
Du Dian saw her asking the bottom line, smiled bitterly, and said: "My friend doesn't want others to know his name, for fear of causing trouble, so I hope you will forgive me."
Nightingale turned her head to look at him for a while, with a slight smile in her eyes, and said, "Forget it, anyway, I am basically sure of your identity, and there is no stupid knight of light who will come to this town Investigate, let's go in first, I still have a lot of questions I want to ask you."
