My Supernatural Life of Leisure

Chapter 2487: The delay in departure is puzzling (two chapters combined into one)

"Boom..."

The terrible thunder suddenly exploded, startling the guests in the guest room.

This time the thunder sounded particularly close, so many people came to the window, opened the window and looked out.

There was a tall tree burning in the distance. It seemed that it had just been struck by lightning from the sky, which made it look like this.

"That tree was struck by lightning."

"It's really unlucky."

"Will we be unsafe?"

"It should be fine."

"As long as we don't go to the road, we won't be struck by lightning."

The guests talked about it. The trees struck by lightning in the distance started to burn fiercely, but soon they were extinguished by the falling rain.

It was evening now. It had been raining all day today. If some people didn't pay much attention to the time, they might not know that it was already evening.

The dark clouds covered the sky, and lightning flashed from time to time. The sky was instantly illuminated, and some trees in some places suffered.

In the low-lying areas of the city, the soldiers who were doing their best to drain water were taking a break at this time. They saw a big tree in the distance being struck by lightning and then burning, and they all showed worried expressions on their faces.

After all, it is easier to be struck by lightning when draining water in low-lying areas than in other places.

At this time, someone said, "Thunder and lightning appear frequently now, why don't we wait until the lightning disappears before continuing to drain water."

His proposal was agreed by many people. Although everyone came out to help the residents in the low-lying areas drain water now, it does not mean that they are willing to sacrifice their lives for them.

The captain of the soldiers in charge of this area soon learned about everyone's thoughts, and he did not force his men to continue draining water when thunder and lightning occurred frequently.

After all, people are all made of flesh and blood. If he ignored the opposition of his men, he would not have to be the captain.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead leaned against the window, looking at the big tree in the distance that was struck by lightning and burned, and then extinguished, and his previous experience could not help but emerge in his mind.

The current lightning has struck and ignited some tall trees in the city, which is very rare for residents, so they can't help but feel panic.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead saw this scene, and he didn't feel panic at all.

Who told him to encounter more terrible scenes than this before, when the frequency of lightning striking trees was much higher than now.

And those terrible trees struck by lightning were very close to the cave where it was hiding.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead had the experience last time, and now he saw this scene without any waves in his heart, and even felt it was quite interesting.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The door of the guest room was knocked, and there was no need to guess that it was the waiter.

It was time for dinner, and the waiter came to the guest's room with a lot of dishes.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead waited for the other party to finish serving the dishes, and asked casually.

"Did you hear any interesting news today?"

The waiter was about to leave when he heard the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead ask this question. He thought for a while and said.

"I heard from a guest that a shop on the opposite street was going to be sold. A man went to ask the price, but he fell several times on the road, got wet all over, and lost his purse."

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead listened to the waiter's story. Although it was not the information he needed, he still smiled. After all, such unlucky people are still rare.

"Sir, please enjoy your meal. If you need anything, please call me at any time..." The waiter said with a smile, then left the guest room and served other guests.

The door was closed, and the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead began to enjoy a sumptuous dinner.

The sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded on the street. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead moved his ears. He knew without looking that it was a pair of cavalrymen on the road.

Now that it was dark, it was quite strange that a group of cavalry suddenly appeared.

Residents on both sides of the street looked at the fast-moving cavalry, wondering what they were going to do.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead thought for a moment and had some guesses in his mind.

He thought that he had not seen many soldiers on the street all day, but now there were cavalry, which might be the big man who was arresting the rebels.

"It's a pity that it's still raining, otherwise I could try to go out and see how it's going."

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead muttered a few words in his heart, and then he stopped thinking about other things and concentrated on the sumptuous dishes on the table.

Now there is not much money missing, and a few more missions can be done to collect the money to buy the defensive spiritual weapon.

When the time comes, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead will buy the defensive spiritual weapon and leave the city, and there will be no chance to eat such sumptuous dishes afterwards.

Before leaving, you should enjoy it to your heart's content.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead had made up his mind to try all the dishes that the chef of the inn could cook during the rainy days.

The dinner was quickly finished, and the waiter came to clear the dishes on the table.

While clearing away the dishes, the waiter mentioned something to the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead.

"Sir, the shopkeeper just told me that the store's warehouse was robbed."

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was drinking tea. After hearing what the waiter said about this, a surprised expression appeared on his face.

"The warehouse was robbed. Is anything missing?"

The waiter continued, "Some food was lost, such as dried meat, vegetables, fruits, etc..."

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead nodded, "These things are not valuable, and the loss is not big."

The waiter sighed, "Yes, the loss is not big, but if the thief comes to steal again, it will still have an impact on the store after a few times."

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead knew that what the waiter said had an impact on the store, referring to the fact that the ingredients were stolen, and it was raining heavily now, so there was no way to effectively replenish the food.

When the guests in the store order food, they will not be able to meet their requirements due to insufficient ingredients. This will have a great impact on the reputation of the inn. Others will not choose this inn when they choose it in the future.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead raised his hand and touched his chin, and then said to the waiter, "Since you are worried about thieves coming to steal things again, just ask the shopkeeper to arrange some people to guard the warehouse."

The waiter sighed again, frowned and said, "That thief is not an ordinary person. It's useless for us to guard the warehouse."

"Huh?" The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, was a little surprised when he heard this.

"If the other party is a practitioner and has good strength, it would be too embarrassing to do such a thing of stealing food."

The waiter chatted with the guest for a while and then left the guest room.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead picked up his teacup and drank tea, thinking about what the waiter had just said.

A thief comes to the warehouse to steal things, and he is also a practitioner with good strength. This is indeed a very bad situation for the shopkeeper.

"How about I help him?"

"There's no need to go out of your way to help him. If the thief is accidentally discovered by me, then I will catch him and hand him over to the shopkeeper."

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead thought to himself, and then he picked up the teapot and filled the cup with water.

The downpour outside the window became heavier after nightfall, and the frequency of thunder and lightning flashing through the clouds in the sky further increased.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead drank a cup of tea and heard hundreds of thunders.

Fortunately, he stuffed some cotton into his ears, otherwise the thunder would make his head hurt.

More than ten kilometers away, a pair of soldiers stood under the eaves to take shelter from the rain.

These soldiers came here with a mission. It is raining so hard now, and thunder and lightning are constantly appearing in the sky, making it difficult for them to continue to carry out the orders issued by their superiors.

"Captain, why don't we forget about it today? If we continue to carry out the mission of the Lord in such weather, it is very likely that there will be mistakes, and it will be difficult to explain it then." A soldier suggested.

Others agreed upon seeing this. Although everyone was very angry and wanted to find out all the rebels in the city and deal with them, they were also worried that the rebels would run away because of their impatience.

The soldier captain recalled what the big shot had said before and nodded to his subordinates.

"That adult also said that if the weather becomes worse, the plan will be suspended."

Then, the soldiers who came to this remote place began to leave.

They soon reached the end of the street, turned a corner and disappeared without a trace.

A heavy downpour fell on the ground and quickly flowed to low areas.

Where the soldiers had been hiding from the rain, a figure wearing a raincoat appeared.

If you look at this man's face, you will see that he is wearing a mask.

Ordinary people would not feel anything special when they see this person.

However, if the soldiers who left saw it, they would definitely be furious.

Because this look is exactly the characteristic of a rebel, especially the mask on his face, the feeling of déjà vu is very obvious.

"Those soldiers just stayed here for a long time, not just to hide from the rain."

The rebels have been hiding in the dark and watching the soldiers. Not long ago, their companions were surrounded and killed. The rebels wanted to kill these soldiers and avenge their companions.

However, I received an order not long ago, and everyone in the city was temporarily on hold.

This order is a dead order and no one is allowed to have different opinions.

So the rebels who discovered these soldiers, although they wanted to avenge their dead comrades, resisted the urge to take action.

After the soldiers left, their angry mood improved. At this time, the rebels thought about it calmly and felt that they were right not to take action just now, because they might have fallen into the opponent's trap.

"call……"

A strong wind blew on the road, blowing a large amount of rainwater flying randomly and rushing under the surrounding eaves.

The masked rebel thought for a while and felt that his clothes were soaked by the rain. He then decided to leave and return to his hiding place.

A pale golden aura emerged on the surface of the body, and the rebel's figure became blurred. When he walked from under the eaves into the rain curtain, he could not be seen at all.

But if you look carefully at the ground, you will see footprints appearing one after another.

It turns out that this insurgent used his supernatural power to conceal his figure, and it was difficult for ordinary people to find his trace in such bad weather.

"Ha~"

The captain of the pig-headed man with a brown birthmark on his forehead yawned. Although it was still early, he was a little sleepy, so he decided to go to bed early.

He turned off the lights in the room, lay down on the bed, and pulled the quilt over himself.

It was strange that he felt sleepy when he was drinking tea at the table just now, but after lying on the bed, the sleepiness quickly disappeared and he became very energetic.

The captain of the pig-headed man with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the ceiling and recalled what had happened recently.

The main purpose of coming to this city was to find a chamber of commerce to cooperate and dig a spirit stone mine.

After that, all kinds of changes were passed without any danger. Overall, his luck was pretty good.

"After I buy the defensive spiritual weapon, I will go to meet the president of the Chamber of Commerce before I leave and ask him if it is time to set off." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead said to himself.

During this period, he went out not only to go shopping and eat.

There is one important thing that must be done. Every time the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead goes out shopping, he will definitely observe the vicinity of the cooperative Chamber of Commerce's residence.

There was news earlier that the alien beast group was going to attack the city, and many chambers of commerce in the city had to cooperate with the city lord's mansion to stockpile supplies, so they could not withdraw manpower to do other things.

Now that the alien beasts have attacked the city, and some time has passed, the Chamber of Commerce's stockpiling of supplies has temporarily come to an end, and then they can mobilize manpower to dig spiritual stone mines.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead observed several times and found that the Chamber of Commerce's residence was still operating as usual, and there were no many people mobilized or signs of going far away.

This is very strange. Obviously, there is time to allocate manpower to dig the spirit stone mine, but the Chamber of Commerce did not do so.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead did not go to the door to contact the president of the Chamber of Commerce to ask about his plan.

Because they had talked about the departure time before, it would be more appropriate to ask when the time comes.

"I hope nothing has happened, otherwise it will be a bit troublesome." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead muttered to himself.

He was most worried that the things he had agreed on would change because of some accidents. In that case, he would either help the other party solve the problem or wait patiently for the other party to solve the problem by themselves.
