章節 26: Roaming Aloof

Finding this place was no joke as well. They couldn't ask anyone, as it was supposedly an illegal tavern and they didn't want to grab anyone's attention in such an unknown place as well. They were keeping a low profile by changing their outfits as per Theodore's suggestion, again to stay away from any suspicion. "Without a map, how are we going to look for this place? "Aeneas's complaint wasn't a fluke. It was really hard. They had been wandering for an hour now. "Let's get to back allies in this town, we might come across some thugs who would lead us to such places," Vivian suggested. "Not a bad idea, but what is the guarantee that they'll lead us to the tavern and not someplace aloof to loot us." Catherin's question was also serious. Who knew what kind of thugs they would come across, what if they noticed them and tried to loot them? "For starters, let's spread out. If we keep walking in the flock, we'll never find anything. You both girls go to the upper back allies while we stroll in the lower region. Most of the time the most dangerous regions are in such shady places so be careful." Theodore suggested the plan and directions based on the elevation. His suggestion wasn't that bad. "Okay, we'll head up north, you better be careful. If something happens Sylph will come let you know. And if you need anything let us know some-way too okay." Catherine suggested to which everyone nodded in agreement. After that, the girls went up in the northern direction as both Aeneas and Theodore went south. "So shall we go…" Theodore was about to say something when he saw Aeneas already at a corner of a building indicating him to follow him quietly. He immediately understood that he had found some clue. He went up close to him and asked, "Did you find something?" To his question, Aeneas replied with a smile, "Jackpot… Shh, don't move until I say so okay." To his reply, Theodore stayed where he was as Aeneas sneaked to the next corner while peeking. After a while he indicated Theodore to get to him, seeing that he also moved to his position in stealth. They started moving through the corners of the buildings as such. Theodore had no clue what he was chasing but Aeneas seemed confident and thus he kept following. After a while, they stopped at a certain corner. Theodore couldn't hold on any longer and hence he asked, "What are we tailing? Did you find the location by any chance? Is it next to this building?" To his question, Aeneas looked at him with a smile and said," Let's move in from another side of the building, the front entrance is heavily guarded." Now Theodore finally believed that they had arrived at the location. "Should we not inform them as well?" To his question, he put his palm on his mouth and said, "Shh! Not now, let's investigate a bit first before putting them in danger." Saying this they walked towards the side of the building from a block away. Finally, they arrived at the rear of the building. "What the hell are they doing? Wanna die?" Eleanor said to herself as she kept her distance from them. It was a tall building and had windows way up, and had a chimney at the top. Theodore couldn't understand the purpose of it but as Aeneas began to climb up, he had no choice.
