"This is your letter." The tavern owner took out a letter from his counter and handed it to Agnes.
"Okay, thank you, sir." Agnes nodded to the boss, smiled, glanced at the lily-of-the-valley-shaped paint on the seal of the letter, picked up the wine glass that the boss had just put on the counter, and then dropped it I bought two one-sule banknotes, "Please prepare another fried anchovies, one boiled octopus tentacles and two fried conger eel croissants."
"Okay." The boss nodded to Agnes.
Agnes turned around with satisfaction and looked at the entire store. People's low-pitched laughter mixed together, giving the entire tavern a "buzzing" background sound. There were only a few people standing in the aisle, but because the tavern was not big, it seemed a bit difficult to walk to your destination. stand up.
"Excuse me." Agnes said to the man in front of her.
The man in front turned his head, and Agnes couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. She remembered this man clearly.
This is a man of medium height, who looks to be less than 1.75 meters tall. His skin color is yellowish and has a tanned feel. His contours are softer, but his eye sockets are deep-set, and he has obvious facial features. People of highland origin.
The last time I saw this man, he was leaving the hotel with a product made from a human body that had an obvious sense of incongruity. It is estimated that he may have some connection with the Church of the Mother Earth.
Agnes glanced around without leaving any trace, and did not see anyone with an obvious sense of disharmony.
"Ah, I'm sorry." The man stepped aside and said a little apologetically.
Agnes smiled and nodded to the man, then walked straight to the table in the corner and sat down.
Lani retracted her gaze from looking at the people in the tavern and looked at Agnes.
"This tavern is...many of the guests are from Feneport." Lani said to Agnes.
Agnes knew that Lani actually wanted to say that this was the contact point for Fenebaud.
"Of course," she nodded and showed a smile, "This is normal, isn't it? Although this place belongs to the Kingdom of Loen and is under the influence of the Lord of Storms Church, people from the same place always You like getting together, don’t you?”
"That's true." Lani nodded and didn't continue to say anything.
“You can try them,” Agnes reached out and pushed the wooden plate containing red and white tender meat sprinkled with a little chili powder that had just been placed on the table towards Lani, “I heard that this tavern makes them before. tasty."
"It's indeed different," Rani casually picked up a small fork on the table, picked up a piece, and took a bite and said, "It's not quite like the way the locals cook octopus."
"It brings some of the characteristics of Feneport." Agnes smiled, casually tore open her share of croissants, and said softly, "And Olavi Island belongs to Loen just like the Rhoside Islands. of colonies.”
Lani was silent for a moment, lowered her head and tore apart her own croissant as Agnes did.
"It doesn't matter whose colony this is, it doesn't matter to me," Lani took a bite of the croissant and said softly, "Whether it's the Loen people or the rebels, it doesn't make any difference."
Lani paused for a while and then suddenly said: "Although my mother often missed her relatives in the past, I know that she was actually sold to the Red Theater by her parents. I went to find her."
"They looked numb and thin, no different from other locals on the street. They believed in the sea god," Rani said softly. "I watched them for a long time and watched them sell their last daughter. , and then died in the purge of 'heretics' by the Lord of Storms."
"Then do you think they are hateful?" Agnes asked softly.
Lani's eyes were a little confused and she slowly shook her head.
"I don't know," she said in a very soft voice, "When I first knew what they were doing, I wanted to kill them, but suddenly I felt that my mother would not be happy with me doing this, so I just looked at them ."
"Sounds like 'then'?" Agnes nodded.
"Yes, I later found out that it's not that they don't love their daughters," Rani slowly lowered her head and said, "They and others even thought that selling their daughters was a good thing for them and their daughters. Good thing."
"This is normal," Agnes said in an almost indifferent tone, "No matter where it is, for most people, they have to survive first before thinking about anything else."
"Like them?" Lani raised her head and stared at Agnes closely.
Agnes nodded slowly under Lani's gaze.
Lani fell silent, lowered her head, and carefully ate the croissant that had been torn into pieces at some point.
...
"Madam!" A slightly gentle man's voice sounded behind Agnes. Agnes frowned and saw Rani beside her subconsciously put her hand on the gun bag on her waist and turned around. Turn around and look behind you.
It was the man from the previous store. Agnes raised her eyebrows slightly, reached out and patted Lani, and stood quietly without speaking.
"Hello, madam, Okefa Konakris..." The man walked quickly to Agnes and said with a smile.
"The 'cultivator' sequence that came to the sea?" Agnes glanced at the man up and down, raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked, "You don't feel like a member of the Earth Mother Church to me."
Okefa couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face, and he nodded clearly, "Yes."
"What's the matter with you?" Agnes asked in a calm tone.
There was a little hesitation on Okefa's face, and then he took a deep breath in Agnes's sight and said, "Stitch told me, if you want to ask for help..."
"Stitch?" Agnes couldn't help frowning and subconsciously repeated the name.
Okefa stopped talking when Agnes spoke. He looked a little embarrassed, as if he didn't know whether he should continue speaking.
"You want to ask me for help?" Agnes raised her head and looked at Okfa calmly, "Is it for yourself or for some other reason?"
Okefa had a little embarrassment on his face and did not give the answer immediately.
"You go back first." Agnes turned her head to look at Lani, who was standing quietly aside, "I'll be back later."
Lani glanced at Okfa, nodded to Agnes, turned and left here.
"We may need to find a quieter place to talk." Agnes looked at the expression on Okfa's face and said aloud.
