Hearing this, the old man thought for a moment and said, "Do you want me to help you find that missing friend?"
Benjamin nodded.
It seemed that he had other considerations. After thinking for a while, the old man slowly spoke and said: "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that the situation in Regina is quite strange recently, and it coincides with the celebration day. If the other party really They are well hidden, and I may not be able to find them."
"It doesn't matter." Benjamin didn't care. "Try it. If you can help us find him, the two hundred gold coins will be yours."
How could he not understand Regina's unpredictable situation, but he believed in the methods of the "Silver Fox" boss. As long as you get the help of the old man, it will definitely become much easier to get your companion back.
Benjamin had said so, and the old man certainly couldn't refuse. In the end, he nodded and agreed to Benjamin's request.
So Benjamin began to describe the people he was looking for one by one. In order to ensure that he found the person, Augustine, "Madam", the strange young man... everyone's appearance was carefully described by him. The old man also showed a very professional look, holding a small notebook, and wrote down everything Benjamin said word for word.
After writing it down, the old man raised his head and said, "That's all? Are there any other clues?"
After thinking for a while, Benjamin nodded again: "There is one more."
As he spoke, he took out the draft-like letter from his pocket—it was the lady's discarded letter. He unfolded the paper and handed it to the old man solemnly.
"This is something written by the female bandit leader. If you can, look for the person named Sydney, it will definitely be an important clue." He explained.
"Sydney?" However, after taking the letter, the old man had a strange look on his face.
… oh
Seeing this, Benjamin looked somewhat surprised.
"Do you know this person?"
The old man touched his chin, and his tone sounded a little strange: "I do know a Sydney, but... I'm not sure if the one I know is the same person as you."
Although he didn't understand the old man's strange attitude, Benjamin still felt very happy after finding the clue.
"Where is she? I need to see her."
The old man hesitated for a moment and said: "She... opened a store in the east of Regina, and she is quite famous nearby. I can give you her address, but don't hold something too big. Hopefully, maybe it’s not the same person.”
As he spoke, the old man pulled a piece of paper from his notebook, wrote the detailed address on the paper, and then handed it to Benjamin.
Benjamin took the address, looked at it twice, and put it away.
"Don't worry, I will help you find those three people. You can ask for this address on the street. Just treat it as a free gift to you." The old man continued.
Hearing this, Benjamin also showed a grateful smile and said: "Thank you very much."
The old man nodded casually.
In this way, although the trap set by using the mercenary mission failed, Benjamin was not too disappointed after the deception - not only did he accidentally meet an old friend from the past, but he also obtained some clues with the help of the other party.
This increased his confidence in finding Augustine.
It was almost twelve o'clock. Although Benjamin wanted to go to Sydney's store as soon as possible, it was indeed a bit too late. They were probably closed. Therefore, after bidding farewell to the old man, he explained the situation tonight to other mages, and then returned to his room, preparing to visit again tomorrow.
After meditating for a while, he covered himself with a quilt and fell into a deep sleep.
A night of silence.
The next morning, after everyone woke up, they left their respective hotels according to their original plan and went around Regina to inquire about information. As for Benjamin, he held the potion, prepared for battle, and went to the address given to him by the old man alone.
I have to say that there are even more people on the streets today than yesterday. Benjamin was not familiar with the terrain of this city, and he had to squeeze in and out of the crowd. Finally, after more than an hour, he finally arrived at the door of the store.
The store opened by Sydney is located in a place far away from the main road in the east of Regina City. It also has a bit of a dark corner of the city. The whole store is not big and doesn't look very formal. It doesn't even have a sign. There is only a small advertisement-like sign hanging on the door. If you don't look carefully, you may not even find it.
However, standing at the corner of the intersection and looking at the sign hanging in front of the shop, Benjamin couldn't help but be stunned.
I saw this line written on the sign:
Regular club, sisters massage, welcome to visit.
“…”
What the hell
Benjamin looked confused.
To be honest, he didn't mean to think in that direction. He didn't know what "massage" meant in this country. He was even surprised that there was such a thing as massage in this world, and that this kind of culture could actually develop in this country.
However, as such an upright person, he still had to think wrong.
Massage club…
Is it really the "massage club" he thought it was
Originally, even if there were mountains of swords and seas of fire and numerous ambush, he planned to break through. But now...
"What should I do? I'm a little scared now." Benjamin took a deep breath and said in his heart.
"What are you afraid of?" There was a strange excitement in the system's voice, "When Zhu Bajie broke into Pansi Cave, were you afraid? You have to think that all this is to save people, without any impure purpose. You enter This is noble, great, and self-sacrificing, and no one can accuse you."
“…”
Although I am very dissatisfied with the Zhu Bajie analogy, I put aside the distracting thoughts in my mind. You're right, Augustine's life or death is still unknown, waiting for him to save him! No one should be left out of the agreement, so how could he give up just because of a small massage parlor
It's just... I don't know why, Benjamin feels a little nervous.
Making a small swallowing movement, he stepped forward and pushed open the half-open door. Passing through the dark and damp narrow corridor, he soon came to a place that was somewhat similar to the front desk of a hotel.
He looked curiously and saw a listless woman sitting in front of the stage, fixing her makeup in front of an old small mirror.
"Um... hello, I'm looking for someone?" Seeing that the other person didn't even raise his eyes to look at him, Benjamin hesitated, stepped forward, and said.
The woman glanced at Benjamin tiredly, then moved her eyes back and continued to apply her blush.
"Little brother, on such a big day, do you come here instead of going to the celebration? Do your parents know?" Her voice was lazy, as if she didn't care about anything, "If you want to find someone, then you can I'm sorry. The sisters all went to the celebration to join in the fun, and no one will receive you today."
Listening to what the other party said, Benjamin also had a strange look on his face.
From the woman's temperament and the content of her words, he also noticed that it seemed that... the meaning of massage in this world coincided with the previous world.
This massage parlor is actually that kind of parlor.
incredible…
etc!
What on earth was he thinking
Shaking his head and putting those meaningless thoughts aside again, Benjamin regained his solemn expression and said, "It doesn't matter if no one is here. I'm here to see Sydney. Can you tell me where she went?"
Hearing this, the woman finally put down the mirror. She tilted her head and looked at Benjamin from top to bottom with half-closed eyes. She was silent for a moment and then slowly said, "I am Sydney. Tell me, why are you looking for me?"
