Chapter 1034: Pursuers (Part 1)
"Surprised?"
Falk walked up to Willy and Ilsa with a smile on his face and said to them.
"In such a wild place, there is such a big tavern."
"Yes..." Ilsa nodded, the surprise on her face not gone, "This is the first time I've seen this kind of tavern built in the wild..."
After catching a ride with Falk, Enli and Ilsa began a long journey "back to the capital".
When it started to get dark today, the caravan arrived at a tavern built in the wild - this salmon tavern.
It seems that this is not the first time Falk and others have come to this salmon tavern.
After arriving at the Salmon Tavern, Falk and others skillfully drove the carriage and horses to the stables next to the Salmon Tavern that were specially used to park horses and carriages.
Falk patted Enli and Ilsa, who were still staring blankly at the tavern built in the wild:
"Okay, don't stand here. There are two empty tables over there. Come and sit down over there."
Falk pointed to two empty tables on the open space outside the tavern.
"I'll go to the tavern to order food and drinks. You just go there and wait."
After saying that, Falk led a few people and walked towards the tavern.
Enli and Ilsa, along with others, put the two empty tables together.
After putting these two empty tables together, it was barely enough for Ilsa, Enli, and the entire caravan to sit down.
Not long after, Falk and the others came back.
After Falk came back, he sat next to Enli and Ilsa with a smile on his face, and then announced to everyone:
"I've already ordered the food and drinks. I'm treating you tonight! Everyone, please have a good meal tonight!"
As soon as Falk finished speaking, there were cheers in response to him.
Enli, who was sitting next to Falk, could not help but ask Falk:
"Mr. Falk, have you been to this salmon tavern before?"
"Well, yes." Falk raised his head and looked at the sign of this salmon tavern, and then continued, "When I was doing business, I would always pass by this salmon tavern, so I couldn't even remember that I had been there. How many times have we visited this salmon tavern? The owner of this salmon tavern and I are also acquaintances.”
"I didn't expect..." Ilsa on the side murmured, "In such a wild place, there is actually a tavern, and the business is so good..."
"Hehehe, Miss Lotta, don't underestimate this tavern." Falk chuckled, "There is a reason why the business of this salmon tavern is so good."
“First of all, the Salmon Tavern is in a great location.”
"It's right at the intersection of several avenues."
"Furthermore, because these avenues connect many important cities, businessmen will inevitably take these avenues."
"Therefore, there is an endless stream of businessmen passing by this salmon tavern every day."
"So, this salmon tavern mainly does business with merchants passing by."
"And this salmon tavern is also a rare resting place, so businessmen passing by here are also happy to have a meal and rest here for a night."
After listening to Falk's words quietly, Enli looked around.
Then he nodded:
"Indeed... the people eating and drinking in this pub now are basically dressed like businessmen..."
"alright,
Stop chatting! "At this moment, a man in the caravan suddenly took out a stack of cards from his pocket and slammed it on the table. "Before we wait for the food and wine to be served, let's play cards! "
"Playing cards...?" Ilsa looked at the pile of cards that the guy smashed on the table with a puzzled look.
After Enli took a look at the stack of cards, the expression on his face suddenly became strange.
"Is this... Tekun?"
"Enli, do you know this?" Ilsa turned her head and asked Enli.
"Yes." Enli nodded, "I have seen others play it before, and I have played it twice."
"Oh! Brother Knight, you know how to play Tekun!" The caravan boy who had just smashed the stack of Tequin cards on the table now extended an invitation to Enli, "Then - play with me. How about two?"
Enli, who was not very interested in Tekun cards, subconsciously wanted to refuse.
But before he could say the rejection, Ilsa, who was sitting next to him, suddenly said:
"Enli, let's play a few games with him. This is my first time seeing Tekun. I want to see how Tekun is played."
Now that Ilsa had said so, Enli could only swallow the words of rejection that had surged into his throat.
"Then... let's play a few games."
…
…
"Hey, little knight knight, I didn't expect your card skills to be quite good."
In the blink of an eye, Enli had played three Tekun cards with the caravan man.
Each of these three games ended with Enri's victory, receiving a lot of applause and cheers from the surrounding spectators.
"Okay, let's stop playing here." Enli threw the remaining cards in his hand back on the table. "I've played Tekun too much, and it's quite boring."
As soon as Enli finished speaking, a slightly excited female voice suddenly sounded beside him:
"Enli! Can you teach me how to play Tekun?"
"Huh?"
Enli stared at Ilsa beside him in amazement.
Ilsa then continued:
"I feel Tekun is very interesting. I want to learn how to play it! Can you teach me?"
"I can teach you..." Enli was embarrassed, "But...because Tekun is very playable, many people have become...dependent on it after getting in touch with it."
Ilsa understood what Enli meant.
So, Ilsa smiled at Enli and said:
"Don't worry, Enli, I won't get addicted to a card game."
"Well...ok..."
Enli sighed lightly and taught Ilsa how to play Tekun.
……
Enli, who was teaching Ilsa how to play Tekun, and Ilsa, who was already learning how to play Tekun, did not notice that at a table not far from them, there were two young men who had been secretly looking at them.
One of the two men was a tall, thin man with a sallow complexion.
The other was a short, strong man with only one eye and an eye patch on his face.
These two young men were frequent visitors to the Salmon Tavern in recent times.
Since Enli and Ilsa came to the Salmon Tavern with the caravan, the two young men had been drinking from their glasses while secretly looking at Enli and Ilsa.
And whispered from time to time:
"Is it those two people?"
"Not sure, but the characteristics of these two people are completely consistent."
"That means - we finally found those two people?"
"I don't know, there are young men and little girls with such eye and hair colors everywhere. So it is possible that they are not them."
"Forget it, no matter what, go and report the news first."
"Yeah, that's true. I'll stay here, you go and report the news."
"Yeah. Be careful yourself, don't be discovered by others."
"I understand, you too, be careful when you go to report the news, don't encounter any accidents."
After a brief exchange, the tall young man with a sallow face got up and left the Salmon Tavern.
Only the short and strong man with an eyepatch and only one eye left was left here, continuing to drink the wine in the glass while secretly monitoring Enli and Ilsa.
