The arrival of a cloaked man would not surprise the people in the tavern, as they were drinking happily. Some were chatting, some were playing cards, and some had even fallen asleep on the table.
Eloline came to the tavern owner and asked, "How much is a room?"
"50 copper coins a night."
"Then open a room for me, and by the way, buy some information from you."
"Oh? I wonder what news this lady wants?"
The tavern owner looked very calm. He saw several people like Eloline who dressed mysteriously and asked for information every day.
Eloline lowered her voice to make sure only the tavern owner could hear: "A female knight, blonde, about seventeen years old."
Hearing Eloline's description, the tavern owner smiled and said, "The Kingdom of Lombard is a country of knights. There are at least dozens of female knights who fit your description."
"..."
This surprised Eloline a little. She didn't expect that there were so many girls who shared the same idea as Licaro.
Of course, it may also be related to the country's chivalrous tradition.
"Well, her name is Likalo."
The tavern owner shook his head: "I've never heard of this person."
"All right……"
In fact, Eloline thought that there was a high probability that Licaro would not use her real name.
"Your room is the second one on the right upstairs. Would you like to eat something first?"
"Thank you. I'll be there later."
Eloline handed the money to the tavern owner and went upstairs.
Although it only cost 50 copper coins a night, Eloline found the room quite comfortable and the 50 copper coins were well worth it.
Moreover, the sound insulation of the room was very good. Eloline, who was in the room, could not hear any noise from the first floor.
After opening the window of the room, Eloline breathed in the fresh air and felt that it was time to eat something.
When she was going downstairs, a man in a wizard's robe was walking upstairs and accidentally bumped into Eloline.
"Sorry, I wasn't looking at the road carefully." The man quickly apologized.
The voice sounded like a mature female one, with an emblem on her chest that Eloline didn't recognize, and her clothes made her look a bit like a magician.
"It's okay, you go up first."
Eloline took the initiative to make way for her and let her go upstairs first.
Then Eloline went downstairs, found a secluded corner, sat down and started eating.
To be honest, human taverns are quite noisy, and Eloline doesn't really like this noisy environment.
She thought of her childhood experiences in the Edfallon Forest, which made her miss it very much.
That kind of quiet and peaceful atmosphere is what she likes.
Eloline saw that the woman who had accidentally bumped into her before also came downstairs, and then she also found a corner with almost no one to start eating, but the food on her table looked quite shabby, with only hard bread and water.
So strange, does that person have no money?
For some reason she felt a little sorry for that person, and this thought made her want to do something good.
In the end, Eloline was left with a plate of fried steak. Before leaving, she went to where the woman was sitting and put the steak on the table.
"Well, I can't eat this anymore. I'll give it to you."
After saying that, Eloline turned and walked upstairs.
Licaro was stunned. What was this strange girl doing?
Are you feeling sorry for yourself because you can’t afford to eat?
In fact, she had money, but in order to save money to rebuild the Knights, she deliberately reduced the quality of food.
Speaking of which...
Licaro stared at Eloline's back and found that her outfit looked familiar.
She thought of the cloaked man who had stolen her horse in the castle before.
Maybe it's just a coincidence?
After all, the cloak worn by the girl is so common that you can buy the same one almost everywhere.
As for the height issue, there are people who are similar in height to the girl.
Licaro didn't quite believe that the girl who gave her steak would be a horse thief. She had a favorable impression of the girl's voice just now.
But this steak...
No matter who the girl is, no matter whether she is well-intentioned or has some other purpose, Licaro will not eat this steak.
Because she didn't dare to gamble.
Looking at the steak on the plate, Licaro swallowed and continued to eat the dry bread.
By the way, it seems that the girl lives next door to her.
It seems that she will not be able to sleep well tonight because her suspicion has not been dispelled.
Could she really be an enemy?
However, Licaro knew that one should not judge a person by his appearance, and she would not let her guard down just because the other person was a younger woman than herself.
No matter what, she had to keep an eye on the girl tonight.
Chapter 2 - Disaster 010 A strange misunderstanding
When Eloline returned to her room, she took off her cloak.
It’s better to be free like this.
Standing in front of the mirror in the room, Eloline looked at herself in the mirror.
The body was cute, except for the height and breasts.
Her clothes were very beautiful, and they were not ordinary clothes that would not be worn out.
At first, Eloline didn't think much of it, but later she found that she liked beautiful clothes more and more.
If I have a stable residence in the future, I must buy more nice clothes.
After looking in the mirror she laid down on the bed, holding Tails in her arms.
Maybe because she hasn't fully reached adulthood yet, after Eloline transformed, her tail was shorter.
But the advantage of this is that she can tuck the tail into the cloak. If the tail is very long, it will probably lift up the cloak.
However, although it is short, it is not that short. At least Eloline can hold it in front of her.
Before she learned about shapeshifting, Eloline always thought that the dragon girl's tail grew in a certain place, but now she knows that the tail actually grows on the coccyx.
Eloline likes to sleep with her tail in her arms because it feels very comfortable, just like having an extra pillow.
She was not sleepy at all now, so she lay on the bed and thought about things out of boredom. She would try her luck when the Adventurer's Guild opened tomorrow.
At this time in the next room, Likalo was constantly activating the magic power in her body.
She had prepared for the worst, and was therefore activating the magic power in her body so that she could cast spells more efficiently if a battle broke out.
She really wanted to confirm the identity of the girl next door, but she didn't know how to do it.
If you go up and ask directly, not only will you not get an answer, but you will also alert the enemy.
So Licaro cast monitoring magic on the wall so that she could clearly hear the sounds from the next room.
However, after she perked up, she heard no sound for a long time. Could it be that the girl had fallen asleep?
Although Likalo was also very sleepy, she couldn't relax. What if the girl was really an enemy? It would be very dangerous if she fell asleep.
Time passed slowly. After all, Licaro was a human being, and she would feel very uncomfortable if she didn't sleep.
But she resisted her sleepiness and kept listening to what was happening next door, but in the end she found nothing.
Just when she was about to give up, there was finally movement next door, and it was quite strange.
Eloline didn't know what was going on, but her body suddenly started to feel hot.
At this time, her face was flushed, her breathing was rapid, and she kept rolling on the bed.
This was the first time her body had ever experienced this, but she knew what was going on.
She might be... in heat.
Vitien had mentioned this when she shared knowledge about dragons with her, saying that dragons would have several estrus periods before they reached adulthood. She didn't expect it to be today.
In fact, if you are in heat, you just need to endure it a little and it will pass, but the process of endurance is very painful.
So she kept rolling around on the bed, and couldn't help but let out a slight moan.
This was nothing for Eloline, but it sounded quite strange to Likalo next door.
Her cheeks turned red with embarrassment, wondering if the girl was...
So she simply cut off the monitoring magic on the wall, lay back on the bed and thought randomly.
What are you doing...why are you doing this?
Licaro was distracted by the previous voice. Although she could already live independently, she was still quite immature in some aspects of knowledge.
The whole night passed in Licaro's confused thoughts. When the next morning came, she saw big dark circles under her eyes in the mirror.
She stayed up all night to avoid a possible attack.
And Eloline had a good rest. She did nothing last night and only endured for about half an hour before the estrus state ended. After that, she had a comfortable sleep.
She walked out of the room full of energy and prepared to go to the Adventure Guild. Coincidentally, the door of the next room also opened, and the woman who ate hard bread last night also came out, still wearing a wizard's robe.
But when Eloline saw her, she found that her behavior was a little strange, as if she was deliberately avoiding her.
But coincidentally, they both were heading to the Adventure Guild, so they just stopped by.
Eloline thought about it and felt that this was fate, so she took the initiative to talk to him: "What are you going to do in the Adventure Guild?"
Lika Luo didn't expect the girl to talk to her. She hesitated for a moment and replied coldly, "Accept the commission."
"Oh, can I know your name?"
"inconvenient."
"……All right."
It seems like he's really difficult to get along with.
In fact, when Eloline saw the woman wearing a wizard's robe, she realized that she was actually someone who wanted to hide her identity.
Isn’t it the same for me?
It is really a wonderful thing that two people who hide their appearance can talk to each other.
"What are you going to do in the Adventure Guild?"
Likalo suddenly took the initiative to ask, because she thought about it and decided to talk to the girl, maybe she could find out who she is.
"I'm going to look for someone."
"Oh, the Adventure Guild does have a missing persons service. Can you tell me who you're looking for? Maybe I'll know."
"A female knight, blonde, about seventeen years old."
"..."
Hearing Eloline's description, Licaro's heart began to beat violently.
This person was looking for me! She was indeed the person I saw in the castle before!
Licaro tried not to show her nervousness, and quickly said that she didn't know and changed the subject.
Although she couldn't see the girl's appearance clearly, Likalo was sure that she was younger than herself.
Licaro really wanted to find an opportunity to kill the girl in front of her, but she held back.
Since the enemy was willing to send this girl to hunt him down, it meant that this girl was definitely not an ordinary person.
