Jerry left the iron felt Avenue, no one noticed him, and not even Charlotte knew when the assassin left his tavern, just as he did not know how he came. This is not a difficult thing. The dwarf''s gathering area is always piled with goods that are several people''s height. Although the standard here is the dwarf''s height, it still makes the street of brick and steel have too many corners to accommodate people.
After all, the so-called walking in the shadow does not mean that you can only move forward in the shadow or have a channel that can avoid everyone''s eyes and ears. People who are good at sneaking just don''t need to be noticed.
It''s easier not to be noticed. Dwarves are not olfactory species. Their ears are often filled with the sound of iron and the shouting of their companions. The creaking sound of carts full of goods on the ground is enough to cover up most of the walking and moving. Having said that, sneaking around the dwarf''s gathering area is something assassins don''t want to do.
Once upon a time, when the iron felt Avenue had just taken shape, it was not that no one wanted to force the dwarves to submit to a certain force or become the vassal of a certain gang by means of assassination, but they failed completely. If there is no sensitive perception, make something instead.
The rat man walked through a pile of barrels and through the cracks between the houses. From time to time, his steps would stop to avoid the filaments hanging in the air and the moving walls and floor tiles. These are the eyes, ears, and traps that dwarves make for themselves.
Dwarves are famous for their craftsmanship. Their forge furnaces and workshops can meet most of the world''s industrial needs. However, few people know that the traps made by dwarves are also of high level. You see, the dwarves'' craft is to excavate minerals and treasures, so to protect their precious things, it is quite reasonable to be proficient in making insurance facilities.
Most of the assassins and killers who came to assassinate the dwarves were trapped in such a humble trap. As time goes by, today''s iron felt dwarfs no longer need to use force to ensure their own security. The intertwined network of interests makes everyone at the node very safe.
However, the Dwarfs'' sense of time and respect for habits make them not relax in the protection of the street. Although most of the traps in front of them are no longer fatal, this does not prevent them from being the nightmares of every assassin. Fortunately, the dwarf ruins that were chosen for Jerry when the demons trained him would only be more dangerous than here.
Climb the side of the house along the cracks between the bricks and stones, avoid the wood sticks that are deliberately stretched out, jump on the roof from the corner of the house, and then slow down one or two steps away from the edge.
The catapults can be hidden in the tiles, and the seemingly empty top-level platform may also contain flip trap. There are different styles of buildings in front of us. When we have pedestrians of normal height on the street, we can relax a little.
Jerry skilfully jumps to the ground and pulls up his hood, sometimes more inconspicuous in the crowd than in the dark corner. And when a person deliberately seeks the corner to hide, he will appear very suspicious.
"Zizi" with scales of small fish, only the length of the fingers, the thickness may not be as thick as the thumb of an adult male, baked on the fire, it is even more barren. Jerry stops in front of the fire, takes a copper plate from the purse on his belt and throws it into a small basin by the fire. There are also several such coins scattered in it.
People who pay for the fish in this way don''t want others to see their faces. This is a worldly wisdom that people will understand when they do business on the street for a long time. Moreover, from the size of the shadow, he already knew who was coming to buy fish, and there were not many people who would like this taste.
"One copper plate and three pieces." The old man separated three wooden sticks from the fish and handed them to the rat man. His words made Jerry a little hesitant and didn''t take it in the first time.
"Usually there are five." Such small fish were all caught from the nearby river. To be exact, it was caught by the old man selling fish with his suspender like net bag in the morning. Because serious fishermen don''t like this kind of small fish at all. They are rotting fish that live by eating the garbage generated by the city. They are small and have no meat, and the viscera that are difficult to remove still have peculiar smell.
Naturally, such fish can not be sold at a price, so even after the treatment of the elderly, a copper plate with the smallest denomination is enough to buy several. Since Jerry came to the city, the price of this stall has never changed.
"Hey, don''t get angry. Look at the fish today The old man turned his wrist and exposed the belly of the roasted fish. Today, the shriveled fish belly protruded a little drum. "See, this is the mother fish preparing to lay eggs. Usually, it''s impossible to catch it. Today, a current just happened to bring them into my fish basket. It''s not easy to destroy fish eggs and eviscerate them. It''s natural to sell them more expensive. In this way, I''ll add one more item to the face of you as a regular customer. I only sell two pieces for each other. "
This reason is not unacceptable to Jerry. In fact, with his income as an assassin, he doesn''t need to be wronged to eat the strange fish that beggars don''t want to buy. There is a secret in this. As the old fish seller said, it''s hard to get rid of the smell of fish by changing people to roast it. However, he doesn''t know what means he used to remove the smell of fish. Of course, it''s not that the fish becomes a delicacy if the smell is removed. It''s just that there is a slight smell of fishy sweetness in the shriveled taste.As for how the old man got rid of the peculiar smell, the rat man didn''t care much about it. He thought it was just spices and other methods. As the old man said, he would never believe that he had gone to the viscera of the fish. The fish meat is sticky and greasy. It is still such a small fish that the viscera and flesh bones are cut into each other. If you can get rid of the internal organs of the fish, you may not be able to carve flowers on the peach stones.
"All right." The reason why they are so fussy about these little fish is not that they are meticulous. This is also a part of his practice. His tutor strictly requires him to control his desire. He has limited food and clothing, especially when he eats and drinks. Although he has been trained in alcohol tolerance, he can only have a little meat and smell, which is also to prevent the explosion of blood eating impulse in rat human instinct.
Just now, he has eaten some food with cheese and others. In terms of his food intake, it is enough to maintain the operation of his body. Eating these small fish is just a rare and small enjoyment in boring life.
But just as Jerry was about to take over the grilled fish, the other hand quickly took it over. Then there was the sound of teeth chewing on the bones and the sound of breaking eggs. "Delicious, very good. I never thought anyone could cook these fish so delicious! I''ll pack all your fish. Take it. Don''t look for it
"Ding Dong!" A silver coin, one circle larger than the copper plate and twice as thick, was thrown into the basin. Light but with a few hoarse female voice from the side of the rat man. For the second time, Jerry''s hair almost stood on end, and it was the second time he had been approached so imperceptibly.
"Hey, ma''am, old man, these fish are not worth so much money!" The old man said this, but he was busy putting all the fish into the cat girl''s hand. Then he even ignored the stove and poured the coins in the basin into his arms. It seemed that he did not intend to continue business.
Jerry stays where he is. He''s either staying or going. Just at this time, the smell of grilled fish in front of his nose is particularly clear, "very delicious, you smell."
So the mouse man put his nose closer to the front, but the smell went away immediately, "Oh, I only let you smell it. What do you gather forward. These fish are all mine, not yours. "
"I paid for it, too." The assassin who can come and go freely in the dwarf trap does not know where the courage comes from. He is fighting for his hobby finally.
"So? If you want to know if the price is high, you can get the money back from the boss. Do you think so? " Cat woman left and right bow, eating fish said.
"Yes, yes, miss. You are right. Don''t worry about it. It''s just a few fish. I''ll give you two more next time. Take your time. I''ll buy some wine while the wine shop is open. " The old man collected his stall in a short time, and then rushed out of the alley like he was afraid of regret.
"I don''t see. The old man is still a drunkard."
"I don''t see you want to eat this fish either."
"Isn''t it natural that cats eat fish? It''s like eating mice. "
