Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.
Chapter 89 Wanted in the City
Lin Anlan, holding White hostage, forced Su Yang to retrieve the materials. After examining them carefully and confirming they were indeed the materials for the bracelet given to John, Lin Anlan used White as a hostage and led him downstairs. Under pressure from Lin Anlan's control, the Viscount's guards and servants dared not make a move, only able to watch helplessly as Su Yang and Lin Anlan stepped out of the manor gate and arrived at the iron gate. Su Yang opened the gate and slowly retreated towards Lin Anlan. Lin Anlan also slowly withdrew her sword, keeping it at White's neck until the distance was right, then quickly withdrew it. Su Yang swiftly closed the gate, and the two immediately fled.
White felt the chill on his neck disappear and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he was startled by the loud slamming of the door. He was immediately filled with rage and roared at the guards who surrounded him, "Go after them!"
Upon receiving the order, several guards hurriedly left the manor and chased after Su Yang in the direction he had gone. White glared hatefully at the remaining servants and said, "Go and call the steward to my study!" With that, he headed towards the mansion.
Not long after he arrived at the study, the butler came in, anxiously asking, "Sir, are you alright?"
"Alright, alright, tomorrow morning, go to the Church of Saints and deliver a letter to Bishop Conrad, saying that the treasure was stolen and I am seriously injured, and ask him to come to the manor to discuss the matter in detail." After giving the instructions, White, fearing that the butler might have missed something, added, "Make sure to convey the fact that I am seriously injured very clearly, understand?"
"Old slave understands."
"Also, take some men and find out where those two petty thieves came from. Tomorrow morning, have someone deliver the message to the city lord of Gupa and the garrison commander, and have the garrison send some painters to draw pictures of the two petty thieves. I'm going to issue a city-wide warrant for their arrest," White said angrily.
Meanwhile, the guards who went to chase Su Yang and Lin Anlan could no longer catch up. They lost sight of the two halfway through the chase and had no choice but to return to the Viscount's mansion. Instead of going back to the inn first, Su Yang and Lin Anlan went to find John. John was still sitting blankly at the door of the old blacksmith's house. When Su Yang and Lin Anlan arrived, the old blacksmith was no longer there, most likely having escaped. So the two of them took John back to the inn and told him what had happened that night.
"That's the situation. It's alright, John. It's not your fault," Su Yang comforted John. John was just a newly graduated apprentice, and he still had to listen to his master's advice on many things.
"Su Yang, what do we do next? Do you remember that we didn't disguise ourselves tonight?" Lin Anlan seemed to recall that they had set off hastily tonight and hadn't used any disguise techniques. She said, "It would be troublesome if we were wanted by the authorities tomorrow."
"Now that you mention it, I do remember." Su Yang said somewhat awkwardly, "Then what should we do? Is the level of painting in this world really that advanced? Could it really accurately recreate our appearance?"
"That's not necessarily true, but you can still get a general idea of what it looks like."
“Why don’t you come and hide at my place for a while?” John said. “My place isn’t great, but it’s remote and hardly anyone comes here. I’ve been staying with my master for the past few days, so those people shouldn’t be able to find me.”
Upon hearing this, Su Yang exchanged a glance with Lin Anlan and quickly made a decision: "Alright, let's not delay, let's go to your place tonight."
The two then packed their belongings, took the spirit beast and the three little ones, and followed John to his dwelling. Just as John had said, his dwelling was indeed remote. The two followed him through many twists and turns, and finally arrived at a dilapidated little wooden house. The surrounding area was full of dilapidated houses, with only a few homeless people living there. There were no ordinary people to be seen.
John welcomed Su Yang and his companion into the house and said somewhat apologetically, "The house is a bit run-down, but please don't mind. If you don't like it, you can go to the crafting room. It leaks a bit outside, but I usually sleep in the crafting room, which is warm."
Su Yang looked around and realized that the room was indeed drafty. When he arrived at the crafting room with his luggage, he found that the environment was actually better than the one outside. The two of them immediately put down their luggage and planned to use their disguise technique to go out and check the situation again early the next morning. Su Yang took out the bracelet material from his pocket and handed it to John, saying, "John, you can continue crafting."
"Mr. Su, are you still willing to entrust such precious materials to me?" John's bright eyes seemed to be glistening with tears as he looked at Su Yang with some disbelief.
"It's nothing, it's not your fault that the materials were lost. Besides, we got them back, didn't we? You can continue making them." Su Yang smiled and indicated that it wasn't a big problem, then tossed the bracelet materials to John.
John took the materials, speechless with excitement, and bowed deeply to Su Yang.
Nothing happened that night. Early the next morning, White's steward arrived at the branch of the Temple of Saints, and also dispatched two other servants to the city lord's mansion and the garrison respectively.
Upon hearing his purpose, Conrad immediately said, "Go back and tell Viscount White to rest assured that his affairs are my affairs. As for his injury, I am deeply sorry. I will send the Healer to treat him later, but please forgive me for not being able to go in person today. I have to welcome the seven Saint Knights of the Holy Knights Hall later. Please go back first."
After hearing Conrad's words, the steward knew he couldn't offer any further advice, so he returned to the Viscount's mansion and relayed Conrad's words verbatim to White. White had just finished meeting with the garrison and the city lord's envoys, and had drawn up the wanted posters for Su Yang and his companion. After hearing the steward's words, White asked with some surprise, "Is this true? Are there really seven Saint Knights coming today?"
"This old servant was unaware, but these words were spoken by Lord Conrad himself, so they must be true."
"Prepare the horses, we're going to Conrad now."
Inside the city, the garrison troops and guards of the city lord's mansion posted wanted notices on the streets, which read: "Anyone who captures the two thieves alive will be rewarded with ten gold coins; anyone who hands over the corpse will be rewarded with five gold coins." Then, a large number of soldiers searched the crowded streets and markets, and the three city gates were also under strict guard, allowing only entry and no exit.
Su Yang disguised himself and went out to gather information. As soon as he arrived at a slightly more crowded street, he saw the wanted posters and bounties for himself and Lin Anlan. He thought to himself, "These are really good-looking. This viscount has such a good memory. He could remember my appearance even in such darkness last night."
After thinking it over, he took advantage of the few soldiers on the street, bought a lot of food at a shop, and then turned back to John's house. Upon returning, Su Yang recounted his experiences to Lin Anlan in detail. He didn't know if his disguise would be detected, but he'd heard that the city gates were now only for entry, not exit, so it seemed they had to prepare for a long-term hiding.
