Chapter 85: Alabasta: the agony of fear
Lin Mo didn't know why Vivi appeared here early in the morning.
However, looking at Vivi's condition just now, I was definitely scared.
This should be the first time she saw someone die before her eyes, so Ikalem would cover her eyes with her hands.
Although Ikalem was wondering why Lin Mo was here, now is not the time to ask Lin Mo. Ikalem asked with a heavy face: "What exactly happened here? Who killed the person who fell on the table?"
"It's him, he killed it, Captain Ikalem."
"Yes, it's him, we saw it with our own eyes."
The onlookers immediately pointed their hands at the bounty hunter Hoth.
Hoss smiled and said nothing, immediately ran to the densest place.
"Damn it, stop here!" Ikalem wanted to chase Hos, but Vivi was still here, and he was frightened and had not recovered yet. He could not leave Weiwei alone here.
But he is the captain of the Kingdom Guard. Now so many people are watching. If he just let the murderer escape, it would probably make the residents of Albana doubt the guards.
Just when Ikalem was still hesitating.
Vivi pushed Ikalem away with a slightly pale face, trying to keep herself calm, and then smiled and said, "I'm fine, Ikalem, go quickly and don't let that person run away."
"But if I go, what will you do, princess?"
"Ikalem, you are the captain of the guards. It is your duty to protect the people of Alabastan. If you give up chasing the murderer to protect me, what if he kills people again? Since I am the princess of the kingdom, I should not ignore the safety of the people for myself. Go quickly, I'm fine, really."
"Princess Vivi." Ikalem looked like she was about to cry. "What a great thing. Princess, you are only seven years old... OK, I understand."
Ikalem turned to look at Lin Mo who was about to walk out of the crowd: "The guards should come later. Although I hate you very much, Lin Mo, please, please take care of the princess for me before the guards come, thank you!"
Lin Mo: “…”
He doesn't want to...
Vivi immediately pushed Ikalem: "What are you still standing there? Go and chase me!"
"Ah, I get it, I'll go now." Ikalem immediately chased in the direction where Hos slipped away.
And Lin Mo has already walked out of the crowd watching.
He did not agree to Ikalem to take care of Vivi, nor did he intend to stay.
Seeing Lin Mo leaving, Wei Wei looked at the man who had long lost his breath when she saw Lin Mo leaving the table. She tightened her teeth and faced the people around her with worries, and smiled and said, "Okay, let's go back. Just leave the next thing to the kingdom's guards. Don't worry, we will never tolerate criminals."
"Since Princess Vivi said so, I believe Lord Ikalem will definitely catch the murderer."
"Yes, I also believe that the guards of our kingdom are quite powerful."
"That's right, then let's listen to Princess Vivi, let's part first."
"good…"
The people around were talking and dispersed soon.
And Wei Wei, endured the discomfort in her heart and stayed here alone.
After waiting for ten minutes, the guards came.
"Your Majesty Princess, we have received a report that someone was killed here. Why are you here alone? Where is Captain Ikalem?"
"Princess Vivi, it's too dangerous here. Why don't we draw two people out and escort you back to the palace first?"
The guards were surprised to see Vivi here.
Weiwei shook her head and said, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me. Ikalem is going to catch the murderer. Let's leave it here for you. I have something to do, so let's go first."
"Hey? Princess Vivi, where are you going?"
"Princess, don't run around, what if something happens?"
Weiwei smiled and said, "Everyone said, I'm fine, don't worry, I'll go back to the palace by myself later, now I'm going to find someone."
After speaking, Weiwei trotted directly in the direction Lin Mo had just been walking.
The guards were too late to stop them.
Because it was still early, many taverns in Albania had not opened. Lin Mo searched a few streets before finding a tavern that had just opened and had not been in the guest house.
The tavern owner is a half-bian.
The owner of the tavern who was wiping the cup saw Lin Mo coming in, looked up at him, then lowered his head to continue wiping the cup, and asked while wiping: "Little kid, you have gone to the wrong place."
Lin Mo came to the bar and sat down directly, grabbed Bailey and went on the bar: "Give me a glass of the best wine here."
The tavern owner looked at Bailey who was placed on the bar, chuckled, put down the wine glass he had wiped, then put away Bailey who was placed on the table, immediately took out a large wine glass, poured him a large glass of wine, and delivered it to him.
Lin Mo picked up the cup and took a sip. It tasted pretty good, but compared to the rum he drank in Roger Town, there was less time to light up the fire.
"It seems that I underestimate you." The tavern owner said with a smile.
Lin Mo glanced at him speechlessly.
The tavern owner continued: "Often children will cry after drinking this wine, but you have nothing to do, and your expression looks quite enjoyable."
Lin Mo: “…”
Lin Mo was too lazy to talk nonsense to him and continued to drink.
Although the boss was a little long-winded, the amount of wine he gave was quite sufficient.
At the same price, the tavern he went to yesterday could only buy a glass of wine of about 200 milliliters, and here, a glass of wine is at least 500 milliliters.
After drinking the whole glass of wine, Lin Mo took out a large handful of Baileys and placed his wine pot on the bar at the same time: "Fill it up, and then have another glass."
"It seems that your alcohol tolerance is very good, and you can't tell at all that a child should have."
As he said that, the tavern owner accepted the money and poured wine for Lin Mo.
Lin Mo was sitting on the bar stool waiting.
Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps outside the tavern gate.
"You are indeed here." Wei Wei's voice appeared at the door.
Lin Mo: “…”
He actually found it...
Wei Wei trotted into the tavern, sat down on the high stool next to Lin Mo, placing her hands on the bar in front of her, staring at Lin Mo with her body, grinned and said, "I asked a lot of people before I asked you that you were here, but I didn't expect you to drink. It's so amazing."
Lin Mo: “…”
So, what exactly are you here to do?
Seeing Lin Mo ignore her, Vivi said relentlessly: "Lin Mo, it's the first time I saw someone dying in front of me. I was so scared to death. But you didn't react at all. Are you not afraid at all?"
Lin Mo: “…”
Why are you afraid? I want to feel it, but no one can give him the chance to feel it, and he is distressed...
