Second candy
Back in the inn room, Vilt put the wooden box down. She checked the time and said to Evelyn, "Evelyn, you will rest at the inn this afternoon." Vilt paused and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, we will leave at dawn tonight."
“I understand.” Evelin nodded, not asking why, and looked obedient. “I’ll pack my luggage in advance.”
"I won't be back for dinner. If you go out, please be careful." After saying this, Violet got up and left the inn.
"Be careful" is what Violet always reminds Evelin every time she goes out alone. Now that she is out, she still remembers this sentence. Evelin curls her lips as she watches Violet leave.
There will be no surprises.
After leaving the inn, Violet walked straight into a deserted alley. At the end of the alley was a wall, and the slowly setting sun couldn't even reach this corner. Along the wall of the alley were various discarded furniture, clothes, and bundled books...
I don’t know how long these things have been here. Some of the furniture still has new marks on it, which means that someone has taken a fancy to the items and is waiting to move them away at night.
Violet leaned over and listened attentively to the sounds around her. After making sure that no one was nearby, she put her index finger to her lips and whistled.
As the whistle sounded, a sparrow appeared from the other side of the wall and swooped down with its wings flapping.
She stretched out her fingers to catch the sparrow, which jumped and chirped on her fingers.
After listening to what Tuan Que said, Vilt ignored its intention to rub its head against her fingertips, raised her wrist and pushed it back into the sky.
When Violet came out of the alley again, she was wearing a black cloak.
The cloak covered her entire body, and the hat on her head hid most of her face, leaving only her slightly pointed chin exposed.
This outfit was very different from other people on the street, but passers-by seemed not to see Violet and walked straight past her without even a trace of curiosity.
The knights of the Cavaliers were still standing guard at the door of the pharmacy. They stood still, their eyes fixed firmly and seriously on everyone who passed by them.
However, the Knight Commander disappeared.
Violet glanced at it and then looked away, walking naturally into the restaurant she and Evelin had just left.
Sitting down at the window seat that she and Evelyn had not chosen that morning, she asked the waiter for a pot of tea. While waiting for the tea, Violet lowered her eyes slightly, and a faint magical fluctuation spread out from her body.
At this moment, Violet's eyes turned into dragon pupils. The walls of all buildings became invisible in her eyes, and the magical elements that were originally invisible to the naked eye turned into colorful air currents.
At the other end of the street, Violet spotted someone dressed similarly to her sneaking around the corner.
The fingers hidden in the cloak moved, and Violet picked up a black airflow, twisted it a few times with her fingertips, and tied it into a bow. The bow floated in the breeze to the other end of the street.
Andre was huddled against the wall, waiting to count the time for the Knights' shift change, when he suddenly shuddered. He quickly dodged behind the wall, not daring to breathe, fearing he would be discovered by the Knights.
The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. He was a master of information, gambling, and potions, but he was being chased like a dog by a dragon. Now he had no home to return to and no money to take.
When he gets all the gold back, the first thing he will do is put a bounty on the evil dragon!
Andre began to fantasize beautifully, and completely forgot about the cold wind that had swept over him before.
In the restaurant.
The waiter brought the tea, and the porcelain teapot made a dull sound when it hit the wooden table. Violet's dragon eyes and the magical fluctuations on her body all disappeared. She looked up and said thank you.
The waiter's eyes were fixed, like a puppet being manipulated. He put down the teapot stiffly without responding to Violet or asking if she needed anything else. He just turned and walked away.
It wasn't until he returned to the counter that the waiter's eyes lit up again. He scratched the back of his head in a daze and looked at the empty tray in his hand, feeling that he had forgotten something.
Violet set up a barrier next to her seat, and diners passed by in waves, and no one could see her.
I drank a pot of tea all afternoon.
The sun was setting lower and lower in the sky, disappearing below the horizon. The clock hanging in the restaurant showed that it was five minutes to six in the afternoon.
Violet counted the time, her fingers tapping on the table. After a moment, she left the tea money on the table and walked away.
After Violet disappeared, the restaurant clock chimed six times, "Dong-Dong-Dong."
The knights guarding the pharmacy changed shifts every three hours, with about a minute's vacancy between shifts.
Andre paid attention to the movements of the guards at the door. When they changed shifts, Andre wrapped his black cloak tightly around the door and ran quickly to the back door of the pharmacy.
There is a tree not far from the back door. Due to the weather, there are no leaves on the tree. A nimble person can use the tree to climb over the wall and enter the backyard.
Andre had no intention of climbing the tree, he walked straight under the tree.
Various unknown weeds grew next to the tree roots. When you pushed aside the weeds, you would find that the roots were connected to the mat, and under the mat was a walkway extending underground.
Andre carefully observed the traces around the straw mat, confirming that no one had turned it over. He breathed a sigh of relief, looked around to confirm that no one had noticed, and then bent down and crawled in.
The basement beneath the pharmacy is hammer-shaped, with a long corridor connecting to a square cellar.
It is called a cellar, but it is actually where Andre stores wine.
The corridor was narrow and the candles on the wall had long been extinguished. The face of the space ring on Andre's hand lit up and a lamp appeared in his hand.
The light illuminated Andre's feet, but the road ahead was still pitch black. As Andre walked forward, the light swayed, and the wooden shelves standing on the wall became dimly visible. The air began to be filled with the complex smell of alcohol.
These wines were also collected by Andre at great expense, but now Andre didn't even look at them. He walked to the deepest part of the basement with a clear goal.
The lamp was hung high up based on memory. There were two round wine barrels at the innermost part of the basement.
Just as Andre thought, the sealed lid of the wine barrel had been opened, and the wooden box inside had been moved out and placed on the ground.
The box opened, revealing golden gold.
There are people guarding outside the pharmacy. The Cavaliers need to report the gold they find before deciding where to put it, so it is relatively safe to keep the gold here.
Seeing that the gold was still there, Andre subconsciously slowed down his movements and squatted beside the box to check the quantity.
The two boxes contained a total of 200 pieces of gold, not a single piece missing.
Andre felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
He took out his space ring and wanted to store all his wealth.
However, the space ring in his hand was gray and there was no movement at all.
"What's going on?" Andre frowned and looked at the ring in his hand. He put the ring back on the gold and calmed down. "Collect!"
The ring and the gold faced each other from a distance, their positions not changing at all.
At this moment, Andre suddenly realized something, just like what happened at the street corner in the afternoon. His body stiffened, goosebumps appeared on his back, and his whole body trembled.
Andre turned his head with a "creak" like a puppet, and a pitch-black dragon claw appeared in front of him, only an inch away from his pupil.
Andre's pupils shrank almost to a point.
At the same time, a "black bow" inside his hood suddenly shattered and dissipated into the air.
"We meet again." Violet's dragon claws stopped in front of Andre. She was not wearing a hood, and her light dragon pupils stared into Andre's eyes.
"Ha...ha..." Andre laughed dryly and broke out in a cold sweat.
He thought that Violet took his medicine and left for the palace and would never come back, but he didn't expect that she was still in Whiterock Town.
If I knew she was...
Well, if Andre knew she was there, he would still release the news about the evil dragon, but he would remember to take the gold away and never come back!
After seeing Violet, Andre also knew why his space ring had lost its function.
“The honorable Demon Dragon…” Andre was flexible and flexible. He showed a flattering smile. Noticing that Vilt frowned when he heard the word “Demon Dragon”, he quickly changed the address, “The honorable Lady Vilt, we meet again.
"I never thought I would have the honor to meet you."
Violet looked at Andre, whose attitude was completely different from before, without any reaction. She put away her dragon claws, her slender white hands disappearing into her cloak. Her voice was cold, "I don't deserve it. I thought you went to see your Master Sissire."
Xixi Sailer is the legendary God of Gamblers, who has been in the upper realm of heaven for thousands of years.
Andre wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand. He stood up, lowered his head, looked at the surrounding environment and thought about how to escape, and said sincerely: "I was just joking, but I didn't expect the townspeople to take it seriously and even call in the knight guards.
"Wait until tomorrow! Tomorrow I will go to the town to clear the air and clear your name—"
As Andre spoke, he quickly took out two talismans from his sleeve. He was glad that he was cautious and kept the life-saving talismans.
A teleportation talisman and a confinement talisman.
The movement of the teleportation talisman can completely attract the knight guarding the door, and the confinement talisman can control Violet and make her unable to move.
In the dim light, the changes in Andre's eyes were clearly visible to Violet.
Even if she couldn't see him, after so many years of dealing with him, Vilt didn't need to guess that Andre was definitely planning something nasty. He wouldn't just give in.
Violet didn't take Andre seriously, but she wouldn't let her guard down against him either. The moment Andre made his move, Violet cast a spell to freeze him in place, and then took the two talismans from his hands.
"Teleportation Talisman, Imprisonment Talisman." Violet looked at the intricate patterns on the talismans, which were all high-level talismans. "What a waste."
Violet took the teleportation talisman without hesitation and used the confinement talisman to add another layer of restriction on Andre.
The confinement talisman not only makes a person unable to move, but also makes him stop talking.
Andre stood stiffly, watching Violet first take off the space ring in her hand, then cut his finger, used Andre's blood to undo the binding between his space rings, and then put the gold into the ring.
"Thank you." Violet thanked him in an ambiguous tone. She grabbed Andre by the scruff of his neck, and the two of them disappeared in the basement of the pharmacy in an instant.
Violet had used invisibility magic to swagger into the basement from the main entrance before the knights' shift change, and now she left quietly the same way Andre had come.
Violet walked out of the passage under the tree dragging Andre in her hand. She didn't notice that after she dragged Andre away, the petals of the small flowers on the outer wall of the pharmacy withered one by one.
After Violet dealt with Andre, she returned to the inn. It was already early morning.
Evelin had packed up their few belongings early and was leaning against the headboard fiddling with the coins in her hand.
The two coins collided with each other, making a crisp sound. Seeing Violet coming back, Evelin stopped what she was doing and smiled, "You're back!"
"Yeah." Vert lowered her head. The silver-plated coins had no appeal to her, but she paid more attention to Evelyn's expression.
Seeing that Evelin was still in good spirits, Vilt picked up the wooden box and said without hesitation, "Let's go."
In fact, even if Evelin was drowsy, Violet would still leave at night.
Violet tied Andre up and hung him on a tree at the entrance of the town. The restraint talisman was automatically removed after six hours.
At daybreak, people entering and leaving the town in the early morning will find Andre, the pharmacist who was rumored to have been robbed by a dragon and whose whereabouts are unknown, teetering on the tree.
When Andre is rescued, he will not be so kind as to keep Violet's whereabouts a secret. He will definitely exaggerate and say that the dragon is in Whitelock Town and cannot get far away.
Violet didn't want to encounter the Knight Guard at all, which would affect her future family harmony.
