MTL - Examination of the Imperial Examination-Chapter 40 soldier
Alvin leaned against the wall for a while, and after confirming that no one was chasing after him, he let out a long sigh of relief, looked up at the black night sky, and showed a smile of the rest of his life.
He really felt just now that death was so close to him that he didn't even want to resist, he just wanted to escape.
When the Beyonders started to be slave traders, Alvin shook his head and didn't think about it. Now the more important thing is to get out of here.
He touched the rain on his face with his hand, pulled his hood, identified the direction, and walked away quickly.
Fortunately, I have been exercising my physical fitness these days, and the teacher has also handed in some escape skills. If it was my previous self, I couldn't handle the sudden incident just now.
Just now, I might have subconsciously run along the road. This is too dangerous and the goal is too big. Even if I run away, the follow-up problems will be too troublesome. Maybe it will reveal too much information about itself, which will lead to retaliation.
Walking along the narrow road, it didn't take long before I walked out of the residential area with complicated roads. Under the heavy rain, I walked along the deserted street to see if I could find a hotel.
He had just gone through an escape, and now he was relaxed and exhausted. His shirt was soaked through, and the boots on his feet were soaked in water, making it extremely uncomfortable to walk.
After a long walk down the street, I finally found a hotel, 3 Sole, with hot water and a separate toilet.
To be on the safe side, Alvin plans not to go back to Citrus Street tonight, stay outside for one night, and go back tomorrow.

In the Port of Pritz, the old dock in the East District, a cargo ship is moored on the sea.
The two Beyonders realized that the peeping person had gone far, and decided to leave the boat first to avoid any accident, and their work was not visible.
"Sir, what about these people?"
After returning to the pier, the hooded man looked at the young gangsters and respectfully asked the man with a face beside him.
"Bring them all with you, and replenish the number." The masked man didn't go to see those people, but got on the boat directly.
"Yes, sir." The hooded man habitually closed his feet, his leather boots making a clack on the rainy ground.
Greeting to the boat, a few men in black walked quickly off the boat, quickly cleaned up the scene, and dragged a few younger brothers who had been paralyzed with a dozen people onto the boat.
The large cargo ship sailed away slowly under the double cover of night and heavy rain, and the cargo area at the wharf regained its tranquility.
Under the scouring of the heavy rain, nothing will be left by tomorrow, only the piles of goods wrapped in oilcloth quietly witness everything under the night.
"Sir."
In the captain's room on the cargo ship, the man in black faced the masked man, bowed his head and said respectfully.
"Well, let's see."
Seeing the man in black walk in, the masked man handed over a note.
"Extraordinary gathering? The commander suspects that today's peeps are related to the personnel of this gathering at sea?"
The blue eyes of the man in black swept over the note and said.
He didn't ask about such an important matter, why did he and others only get the news now.
"I have already sent a telegram to Backlund about what happened just now. I ordered the delivery location to be abandoned. In order to avoid risks, we don't have to go to the Southern Continent after this trip. We have another mission."
After the man finished speaking, he took off his mask, revealing a slender and serious face. His mouth was naturally pursed, giving him a feeling of unusual indifference. Then he handed out a piece of paper and said.
"I'll check it out tomorrow, and tonight at this pier, there are those boats docked here. The Beyonders who can show up so late have come back from the party, no accident. This kind of semi-open party should be able to find a lot of clues. , Belis, this wharf area, which used to be your jurisdiction, has decided to entrust this matter to you."
Looking at Belis, the man said with a serious expression.
"Yes."
Belis took the note, and when he saw the order, he gave the man a military salute without any hesitation, and answered neatly.
"In a month, if I can't find anything, I'll go back to Backlund and carry out the mission on paper with us." After speaking, the man solemnly returned a military salute.
"Yes." After Belis finished speaking, he returned the note to the man, turned and walked out of the room.
"Protect the slavers, Cappin, alas!"
The man looked at the paper, his hand holding the note turned pale, his palm trembled, and the paper spontaneously ignited silently.
He has no objection to the order from above to **** slaves from other countries. Emperor Roselle also once said that people who are not my race will have different hearts.
It's just that he didn't understand why one third of the slaves he escorted were the people of his own country.
The man walked to the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the dark sky and the sea outside, thinking of his military status, his heart was full of complexities.

July 6, Friday.
The next morning, it rained heavily all night.
Alvin, who rested at the hotel for one night, returned to his apartment on Citrus Street in a rental carriage, wearing the clothes he hadn't dried last night.
She changed into dry clothes, found some leftover ingredients in the kitchen, and had a simple meal.
"It looks like the move will be postponed again." Sitting at the desk, looking at the heavy rain outside, he shook his head and smiled.
Opening the newspaper they bought when they came back, according to the police, they almost killed the "crazy thug" last night. Although the other party escaped, the other party was already injured, and it is estimated that they will be arrested and brought to justice soon.
Five children went missing overnight in Xia Street. Up to now, the total number of missing children has been nine. So far, there are no clues.
It's not easy to look at the case of the disappearance of children. Was it the work of slave traders? Thinking of what happened last night, Alvin guessed wildly.
It was really lively last night, the Extraordinary gathering, the old wharf slave traders, and the missing children from the street.
Folded the newspaper, opened "Tragedy on Earth" and started today's study.
At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, in front of Teacher Geralt's house, Alvin brought 11 bluetail fish bought for 10 soules and two pounds of fine marquis black tea for the teacher.
At this time, the rain had gradually reduced. As soon as I opened the gate of the iron fence, I saw a black shadow, rushing towards me, and then I felt my shoulders sink, and I felt a plush head rubbing against my face. .
"Yumi." Alvin was moved, and planned to respond a few times.
"Snapped."
It felt like his head was patted, this arrogant little guy.
"This little guy is very worried about you~www.novelbuddy.com~ He has been standing behind the glass of the window and looking at the door today."
At this moment, the door of the small building was pushed open, and Mr. Geralt said from the door.
"I'm sorry, Yuumi won't leave you next time." Alvin patted Yumi's head and said softly.
The little guy shook his head in dissatisfaction.
"Good afternoon, teacher." Alvin saluted. The experience last night made him know how much Geralt helped him and respect him from the bottom of his heart.
"It seems that you had a wonderful experience last night."
Seeing that Alvin was so serious, Geralt raised his eyebrows and asked.
"It's quite exciting." Recalling the experience of escaping last night, Alvin replied with a smile.
It was raining lightly outside, two people and one cat, sitting inside the house, two cups of black tea and one cup of milk, the picture was warm.
"The handling is not bad, much better than last time." After listening to Alvin's remarks, Geralt took a sip from the teacup and praised.
"Thank you teacher for your teaching." Alvin smiled and flattered.
"By the way, have you found the reason for the disappearance of the dog near the teacher?" Suddenly remembering what the teacher mentioned that day, he asked.
"Well, I haven't found it yet, but I can be sure that it wasn't caused by a beast. After this heavy rain, it is estimated that no clues will be left."
Thinking of this, Geralt frowned. He couldn't figure it out. It wasn't a beast. Who would attack an ordinary dog? It's not white.
