AWB Chapter 155 Siege and Killing
Chapter 155 Siege and Killing
The Crown Tavern is an inconspicuous tavern in the city. Although it is not big, it has a unique feature - the Crown cocktail is very delicious, so there are always many guests coming and going.
Although it was the normal business hours for the pub, its door was tightly closed and a sign saying "Closed" was hung on the door. This made the guests who came to drink feel a little puzzled, but they had no choice but to leave.
Unlike the quiet and desolate scene outside, the scene inside the pub is quite different.
In the tavern hall, the stools were almost all occupied. Some were chatting and some were drinking, but without exception, they were all wearing the apprentice robes of the Water Element Academy.
At this time, the tavern owner was sitting in the middle of the bar, holding a glass of wine and saying to a woman in a teacher's robe beside him with a flattering look:
"This is the specialty of our pub - the Crown Cocktail. It tastes very good. Miss Huo, please try it."
The woman took it and took a sip, then nodded to the boss and said, "Well, it tastes good."
"I'm glad Miss Huo likes it. If you like it, I'll bottle some for you and bring it back. Please say a few good words to your brother."
The boss smiled and spoke nicely to her respectfully. The woman in the teacher's robe was the teacher from the Water Element Academy who had competed with Qi Yu for the "Frost Core" at the auction.
At this moment, she was chatting with the tavern owner at the bar. It was said that half of the funds for this tavern were provided by her brother. It could also be said that her brother was also half the owner of this tavern.
At this moment, a water element apprentice came down from upstairs. This person walked to the woman and handed her a few pieces of paper.
After taking the paper, the latter asked, "Is this it?"
The apprentice nodded and replied respectfully: "Yes, Teacher Huo, this is the information that Director Huo asked for. The person above is the one who bid with you."
"Good, very good!" The woman flipped through the pages, then threw them on the table and said to the people around her, "Take a look, tell the people below to do their best to search for him, and come back and tell me where he is when you find him."
The apprentices who were originally sitting around stood up one after another, passed Qi Yu's information around one by one, and then left the tavern directly.
"Wood Element Academy? So what? You are just a little apprentice, and you dare to snatch things from me. If you fall into my hands this time, I will make you live a life worse than death!"
When the woman thought that someone else had gotten to the thing she liked first, she was so angry that she stomped her feet. She wished she could catch Qi Yu right now and torture him in every way to vent her anger.
...............
On the other side, Qi Yu stood in the alley, watching Zhang Xu reading the letter in silence. He had a hunch that what was said in the letter must be unusual.
As he expected, Zhang Xu's expression became uglier as he read. In the end, he crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it far away, muttering to himself:
"Damn Liu Hao, it's clearly my rest time, but he actually used his power as the teacher on duty to assign me work. Okay, okay, just wait for me..."
Then she noticed Qi Yu beside her, thought for a moment, and said, "Xiao Yu, the teacher has some things to deal with, and may not be able to accompany you back to the academy. The teacher will call a carriage for you later, you go back first."
After hearing this, Qi Yu nodded and said, "I understand, teacher."
Then Zhang Xu took out a crystal ball from the ring, injected mana into it, and then said to the inside: "Send me two carriages."
As the light of the crystal ball went out, Zhang Xu smiled at Qi Yu and said, "Okay, when you go back, if you have any questions about tomorrow's class, you can ask Su Yuhong."
Qi Yu nodded again without saying anything extra, but he didn't know that while the two were talking, there were several pairs of eyes staring at them not far away in the alley.
"It was him. He was the one who took the master's flesh and blood." A Moon Worshiper hiding in the dark said along with the Moon Worshiper next to him: "But who is the apprentice next to him?"
A cultist nearby compared the photos and nodded slightly, then replied: "He's just an apprentice, so there's nothing to be afraid of. What do you say? Why don't we just take him down? He's a teacher-level mage, and he's still good enough for us to get close to him?"
His companion beside him hurriedly stopped him: "Let's wait a moment. The High Priest ordered us to tell him when we find any traces. He probably wanted to avoid alerting the enemy. I will go back and report. You keep an eye on him here first."
After saying that, he flashed away, while the rest of the people lay in wait, waiting for the opportunity.
At the same time, in the darkness at the other end of the alley, a group of people wearing water elemental wizard robes were lying in ambush. The apprentice in the lead was also holding a photo in his hand, comparing it:
"Yes, it was that apprentice who stole the teacher's things. They seemed to be calling for a carriage."
"Humph, you want to leave after offending Teacher Huo?" An apprentice holding a dagger laughed softly, "Someone, go tell Teacher Huo that we have found the target."
…………
Qi Yu in the alley didn't know what was going on. He still stood at the entrance of the alley with Zhang Xu, waiting for the carriage.
At this moment, Qi Yu felt a chill on his spine. He didn't know why, but he had a bad premonition. This feeling was very bad. He turned his head and looked at the deep alley behind him. It felt like a huge mouth that was ready to eat anyone. If Zhang Xu wasn't still beside him, Qi Yu would have wanted to escape now.
He didn't know when this feeling appeared, but since entering the jungle, Qi Yu had avoided many dangers by relying on this feeling.
Just as Qi Yu opened his mouth to say something, he saw Zhang Xu's expression suddenly changed, as if he had also realized something, because they found that the people who were originally flocking to the street at this time had disappeared in an instant.
At this time, there was no one on the huge street and it was unusually quiet. Zhang Xu opened the crystal ball and tried to make contact, but the crystal ball seemed to be broken and there was no response at all.
"Don't waste your energy. We have already blocked this place. No information can be conveyed!"
Qi Yu and the other man turned their heads and saw a group of people walking out from the shadows of the street ahead. They were all wearing robes of the Moon Worship Sect, and leading them was a Moon Worship Priest wearing a bird-beak mask.
Qi Yu was slightly stunned when he saw this, and then his face became solemn. He recognized the identity of the visitor and was very afraid of the leading priest.
