Section 15 Snooping
Chapter 15
"Master, you must wake up!"
Carrie's voice echoed in the sea of non-consciousness, awakening Ashrufate's self-consciousness from her sleep.
"What's wrong with me?"
"You have entered the dormantle of the damage recovery nature. The dormant time has exceeded 80 hours." Carrie's voice was still as usual. "According to calculations, your body tissue damage has recovered more than 80%, which has no hindrance to your actions. And I have detected signs of life outside... The other party must have found that you are hiding here. You must leave before more enemies arrive."
It took Eshu Rufat a few seconds to calm down. This sleep was a completely different feeling from the past sleep. It was a sleep that fell asleep without any transition and then had no dreams at all. He could neither judge how much sleep time had passed nor what happened during the sleep process.
"Master, there is a living being outside...he is here! This is by no means accidental! He has discovered your existence! Measures must be taken, otherwise it will cause great danger!" Carrie urged anxiously.
Asu Ruffat silently tested his strength and found that his physical strength had almost completely recovered, and even the wound on his abdomen only felt a slight itch.
Then he suddenly pushed open the soil covering his body and jumped out. With the silent summoning, the Withering Sword had already appeared in his hand. He raised the long sword and prepared to launch an attack while the other party was caught off guard.
"Mimilu? Is it you?" Ashu Rufate stopped. The one who was guarding outside was not the expected spy, but Mimilu. "Why are you here..."
Mimilu was indeed shocked. But after she came to her senses, she immediately rushed to Ash Rufat and rubbed hard in his arms. "Master! Master! Mimilu knew you would be safe!"
Although she said this, her face looked like she was snot and tears flowing all over, and she was so excited.
After a while, after Mimilu calmed down, Ash Rufate had the chance to ask her.
"Are you okay, Mimilu. Did you escape that day?"
"Well, I ran away very smoothly. Those people couldn't catch up with Mimilu at all."
Ashrufat noticed a ray of burnt hair on the side of Mimilu's head and ears. Experienced people can see at a glance that it was a trace of musket bullets passing by. If the bullet shifted a little bit, Mimilu would be shot dead on the spot. That chase was far less relaxed than Mimilu's words!
"That day, many people chased Mimilu, yelling and shooting Mimilu. But Mimilu was very flexible and they didn't hit her at all." Mimilu rubbed her nose and said embarrassedly. "Later, Mimilu climbed over the wall and hid in the corner of the wall, and they could no longer find Mimilu. Isn't Mimilu very powerful?"
"It's amazing! You saved me once." Ashu Rufat tried to make himself look like he was smiling. "Thank you, Mimilu. But how did you find this place?"
"Mimilu keeps track of the owner's smell by her nose. But the smell disappears here, so Mimilu thinks that the owner must be hiding nearby."
So that's it, the smell... Fortunately it's Mimilu, it would be a miserable one if it was a well-trained hunting dog.
He turned his head and looked at the city far away. It was afternoon, and the sun was shining. Even the crowd at the city gate was vaguely visible. He was even a little unbelievable that he had actually run so far.
How is Captain Chris? Has Wanye been arrested? Or have they escaped safely? Where is the Summer Night Dream Theatre? Is there a wanted order in the city? Asu Ruffatt couldn't wait to know these. But at this moment he was wearing the unfit sleeveless single dress (although both men and women are suitable, this dress is more suitable for women). If he wanted to enter the city, it would be difficult to escape the guards' gaze. Moreover, he had no money to pay for the entry fee.
"Mimilu." Ashu Rufat asked. "Can you do me a favor?"
"Well, Mimilu is happy to help the master." Mimilu replied happily.
...
When Mimilu climbed down the city wall, it was almost dawn.
The Semus' tough and powerful fingers and nails (or claws) helped a lot, allowing Mimilu to easily find a focus on the city wall and climb down with Ash Rufate's backpack in his mouth. If Mimilu did not have Mimilu, Ash Rufate would have to use some tools to climb up the city wall, and of course it would be easier to be discovered.
The backpack was the backpack that Ash Rufate left in the city hotel. As he estimated, because the horse was stolen (at least the boss would think so), the boss did not dare to take back the room, so his belongings were placed in the room intact and were easily taken out by Mimilu.
If the Semu tribes want to be thieves, there are really few places in this world that can prevent them from sneaking in.
Ashrufat took his backpack from Mimilu's mouth, checked it slightly and confirmed that no one had touched the bag. He changed his clothes as fast as possible, and then walked towards the city gate.
"Mimilu, I'll go in through the main entrance, you climb over the wall and wait for me there." Ashu Rufat ordered, and Mimilu quickly jumped onto the city wall again and crawled up.
When he arrived at the city gate, the east was just white. For those who were on duty all night at the city gate, this was the most exhausted, sleepy, and energetic time, but the shift changer had not come yet. The tax collector lazily took the money from Ashu Rufat and waved his hand to let him in. The armed soldiers didn't even have the interest to raise their eyelids to look at him. Most of them closed their eyes and took a nap while standing.
This lax state does not seem to be a big deal at all. When passing by the bulletin board, Ashu Rufate paid special attention and did not find any new paper sticking on it. This look is simply peaceful.
This made Ash Rufate a little uneasy. In his prediction, there were more or less one wanted orders here, offering rewards for thieves who entered the Great Temple at night. However, there was no such announcement here, which meant that either the thief was caught or something else had happened.
Baby Leaf, Captain Kris and others in Summer Night's Dream...
At this time, there was almost no one on the street. Ashu Rufat came to the entrance of an alley and saw Mimilu coming out of the alley.
"Master, Mimilu has been waiting for you for a long time." Mimilu said happily.
"Well, I'm in, Mimilu." Ash Rufate replied. He had to find someone to ask, but it must be a safe question, and he could not leave any clues for tracking for the enemy... He thought for a few seconds and then made a decision.
"Mimilu... Last time you told me that you have lived in the city for a long time, right? I asked you, are there beggars nearby?" It was not until this time that he suddenly realized that he had not seen beggars in Oren City. Is it because of time? The last time was a hot noon, and the beggars went to a cool place to escape the summer heat, and now it is dawn, and the beggars have not woken up yet... Although it can be explained clearly, Ashu Rufate still felt something was wrong.
"Beggar?" Mimilu's eyes flashed.
"It's that kind of... well..." For a moment, Ashu Rufate really couldn't find a suitable word to explain.
"Mimilu knows what a beggar is, but there are no beggars in this city." Mimiu replied.
"There are no beggars?" Ashu Rufat was shocked. Although it was prosperous and wealthy... how could there be no beggars?
"Well, Mimilu heard someone talk about this. Someone was asking why there were no prisons or beggars in this city..."
There are no prisons? Such a large city, the population should be quite considerable, but there are hundreds of thousands of people. There are actually no prisons here and no beggars. Could it be really a paradise on earth?
"What did the person who answered said?" Ashu Rufat asked.
"He seemed to say that all the criminals and beggars were arrested and sent to the south to participate in excavation activities... Mimilu didn't understand what this meant." Mimilu stuck out her tongue and scratched her ears embarrassedly.
All the criminals and beggars? What happened... No, I don't have time to care about this now! Ashu Rufate drove away these extra curiosity from his mind. There is only one thing he needs to care about now, that is, the whereabouts of Captain Chris, Baby Leaves and the troupe!
At dusk that day, Ashu Rufate finally found his opportunity. In a tavern, he met a guard who had met that night. Specifically, the two sides had only met one time, because at that time, Ashu Rufate was lying on the bed, and the guard was one of the many people who came in to search. However, the light was dim that night and the dress was different, so Ashu Rufate was quite sure that the other party would not recognize him. Ordinary people would not have such a good memory.
In fact, this is true. When Ashu Rufat proposed to treat him to a drink, the guard and his companions did not refuse.
With the guard, a young man in travel clothes. Judging from the lyre on his back, he should be a bard traveling from all directions. After three cups of cold and cool black beer, the distance between the three people immediately narrowed a lot and talked a lot. Ashu Rufate spent some time and soon realized that the poet was chatting with the guards in the temple for inspiration. Surprisingly, it was the poet who first mentioned the recent night theft incident in the Great Temple.
"Did you hear the gunshots? It seems that there is a very flexible little man among the thieves... I heard them say that they fired a lot of money guns in the end, but they still slipped away. It must be said that the group of thieves were very amazing. The Archbishop took action himself and finally caught a female thief back." The guards had been invited by the bard for several cups, so they were already half drunk at this moment.
"Female thief?" Ashu Rufat's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood that Xiangye had been arrested. However, in his heart, there was no suspicious look on his face. "Since there are still thieves on his way, why not issue a wanted order?"
"No need... I don't know who spreads rumors everywhere, saying that there are incredible wealth hidden in the temple... Every year, there are always a few thieves with no eyes coming in to steal, and we are all used to it! It's rare to catch only one female thief..."
"I remember there is no prison in the city, so where is the female thief being locked up?" Ashu Rufate asked the most important question inadvertent tone as much as possible.
"Hehe... it's not that simple... The female thief was taken away by Archbishop Carl... Do you know what this means?" The half-drunk guard looked at him with a drunken look on his face.
