Su ye got up, took the money bag, nodded slightly to Kelton to thank him, and walked towards the gate.
Su ye stood still at the door.
"Do I need to sign the Four Gods contract this time?"
"The promise in your heart is better than the gods." Kelton slowly took the water-filled wine, took a sip, and squinted his eyes, feeling extremely comfortable.
"See you later."
Su ye raised his hand and stepped out of the room under the night.
Huck followed Su ye silently.
Along the way, the waiters and regular customers of Dolphin River looked at Su ye and Huck as if they had seen a ghost.
How could that "wooden" Huck, who didn't pay attention to anyone at all, follow Su ye obediently? It was not seeing off guests, but protecting Su ye like Mr. Kelton.
Seeing Su ye leaving the gate, the busy middle-aged foreman gritted his teeth, ran out quickly, and shouted at Su ye.
"Mr. Suye, I am Temonosgenis, son of Peristra, welcome to visit me next time."
Su ye, who was walking forward, smiled slightly. It seemed that this person was very smart. He realized from the beginning that he had forgotten his name.
But what was his name? What forest and what pigeon? goodbye!
Ninth Avenue at night is much darker than during the day, and the sparse lights barely make it possible to see the road.
Only then did he understand why the pedestrians on the road walked steadily.
Afraid of breaking my feet, afraid of stepping on shit.
Su ye walked very slowly.
Huck followed closely.
At the intersection of Ninth Street, Su ye saw some people in shorts and leather armor and stopped.
Su ye knew that the barbarians in northern Greece wore trousers during this period, but he didn't expect that even the soldiers in Athens would wear trousers now. This means that the depth and breadth of cultural and civilization exchanges in this world far exceed that of ancient Greece in the history of Blue Star, including the appearance of tea to prove this point.
These people had daggers on their waists and were chatting. They were not very old, and there were even two teenagers in their seventeen or eighteen years.
Su Ye turned around and asked, "Mr. Huck, these city guard soldiers should be very willing to help you."
Huck stared at Su ye's face for a few seconds and nodded.
Su ye smiled and said, "Would you like to find two people for me to follow behind, and at the right time, come forward...to perform my duties."
Su ye said the last phrase very seriously.
Huck stared at Suye for a while before he said slowly, "Are you plotting against me?"
There was a hiss in his voice, as if there was a slit in his throat.
"It's not a calculation, it's asking for your help." Su ye said frankly.
"Magician's friendship?" Huck asked blankly.
Su ye couldn't help laughing and said, "It's said that Mr. Huck is not good at words. I didn't expect you to be so sarcastic. That's right. To you, I can only show the friendship of a future magician."
"Remember this night."
After Huck finished speaking, he walked towards the city guard soldiers.
The moment Huck finished speaking, Su ye saw a complex look in Huck's eyes.
Su ye looked at Huck's back and sighed softly.
When those soldiers saw Huck, they immediately stood up straight as if they saw an officer, and some of them even had glory on their faces, as if they saw a hero.
Suye looked at them. After a while, those people started to argue. In the end, two people came out, and the rest looked disappointed.
Huck pointed to Su ye and spoke to those people. Su ye nodded slightly to the soldiers, and the soldiers nodded immediately.
After a while, Huck returned and stood behind Su ye without saying a word.
"Thank you, Mr. Harker."
After Su ye finished speaking, he unceremoniously handed two money bags to Huck, leaving only one in his hand.
Huck looked at the money bag, then at Su ye, took the money bag, and hung it on both sides of the back waist, so that no one in front could see it.
Suye stepped forward, followed by Huck, and two young city guard soldiers followed from a distance, with excited expressions on their faces.
Su ye took a look behind him, and there was only one person following him, and the other was missing.
The city of Athens at night is far quieter than during the day, especially after entering the slums, those who are reluctant to light their lamps are either already asleep or chatting with their neighbors outside the door.
The climate of the Mediterranean is warm in winter and cool in summer. Even if he walks on the ground with bare feet, Su ye doesn't feel cold.
While Su ye was inquiring, he walked forward, and before he knew it, a group of men appeared behind him.
No one wore long gowns, even a few short gowns. Most people wore a piece of rag around their waists, and even a few people were naked and followed the crowd ostentatiously.
Everyone's feet were covered with thick mud, some down to the calf.
It was the first time they saw a teenager looking for Lawrence with a purse.
Lawrence was not the most powerful in the ghetto, but he was one of the most notorious.
Some people looked at Su ye's back with a smile, while others looked greedily at Su ye and Huck's money bags. Only a few people who knew Huck quietly looked forward to the good show.
The two city guard soldiers were behind the crowd.
After stepping on countless stones and mud puddles, Su ye finally arrived at a street corner and stopped in front of a tavern.
The night was dark.
Hanging at the door of the tavern is a blunt rusty bronze knife, which is as wide as two palms.
There is no plaque.
Everyone knows it's the Blunt Knife Tavern.
The number of Su ye's people who followed was more than forty, and more and more people were attracted by the crowd and lights, and moved closer to here.
Only a few seconds later, cheers came from the tavern, and at the same time there was a rhythmic roar.
It's like the crew shouting inspirational chant before the battle.
The thumb and index finger of Su ye's right hand moved slightly, and they were about to strike for the third time today, but they stopped.
Even without a light tap of two fingers, he slowly straightened his chest, raised his head, stretched his shoulders slightly back, relaxed his arms, and a confident smile appeared on his face.
The door opened, and two strong men who had been to Su Ye's house came out, holding oil lamps in their hands, looked at Su Ye contemptuously, and then made a gesture of invitation to the door.
Inside the tavern, the torches were bright, and in the light of the fire, Lawrence in a short brown linen robe came out and walked two meters away from Su ye.
When the wind blows, the moonlight and fire light sway, and the "centipede" on Lawrence's face slowly squirms.
Several people in the crowd let out a soft cry and retreated in a hurry.
Lawens' eyes were colder than during the day.
Under the firelight behind him, a pair of crazy eyes plowed at Su ye, but they all avoided Huck skillfully.
Ke Luo, with a simple and honest face, hid in the crowd and secretly looked at Su ye with a look of doubt on his face.
Lawens didn't look at Su ye, but at Huck.
Huck was still like a dead wood, silently looking at Lawrence.
"In front of the Blunt Knife Tavern, there are only enemies, or friends." Lawrence's voice was exceptionally peaceful.
Among the crowd behind Su ye, a few people turned around and ran, their bare feet stepping on the muddy water and making crackling sounds.
Huck said nothing.
"Give me the IOU." Su ye shook the gold coin bag in his hand, calmly.
Lawrence looked at Su ye, the corner of his mouth moved slightly, and the scar on his face squirmed again.
The few people who had seen Su ye during the day observed carefully. There were wounds on the neck, bruises, and stains on his body. Yes, it was the same Su ye, but why did he feel that he was not alone at all
Lawrence suddenly smiled softly, his eyes fell on Suye's bruised neck, and he said, "The donkey is here?"
"Ha ha ha ha… "
The crowd behind Lawrence burst into laughter, almost toppling the roof of the Blunt Knife Tavern.
