"So, you are telling me Pherae is planning to attack?" Alex was talking to a old man called Lysander.
"Yee brother, the army has been mobilized, they are going towards the southeast, maybe some other cities are plannin to attack, but i think tis Pherao. *HICK* *HICK* *HICK " Lysander was drinking a lot and had a red face.
Alex went into thought.
"Is that why am i feeling so distressed, but we are going to leave this place soon, why do i care about this city at all." Alex knew his instincts, he would not be notified by anything insignificant he could not meddle with.
And this was the situation he either didn't care about or couldn't do anything to.
"Thanks, old man." Alex pushed some coins next to Lysander and sighed.
"Damn... mystery..." Alex looked around and stood up, he went towards the girl in the bar.
"Hello." Alex greeted her.
"Greetings traveler." The girl responded with a smile.
"My name is Alexander," Alex said and looked through her liquors.
"I see, that's awesome!!!, a powerful name, my name is Irene, nice to meet you, Alexander." Irene smiled with grace and said this as she put down the cup she was cleaning.
"I wonder if something is going to happen soon," Alex muttered.
He noticed Irene twitching her shoulders.
Alex smiled and took out the pouch, his stash.
*Cling*
He took out a coin and made it fly in the air.
As he caught it.
"Weather is brewing, it's a bad omen." He added.
Irene twitched some more.
Alex took out 3 coins and made them fly in the air.
As he caught them.
"The smell of the sea is churning, Poseidon is trying to say something." He added.
Irene twitched quite a lot.
Alex took out 5 coins and made them fly in the air.
As he caught them.
"The birds are flying low, storm is about to come." Alex was about to catch the coins but.
*CLING*
Irene held her hand out and coins fell on her hand.
She turned around.
"Huh... Great Poliorcetes spent a lot of money inviting pirates from the sea, especially nefarious Cilician pirates, i think something is happening, you guys need to leave fast from this city." Irene said this with a whisper and continued to clean her appliances.
Alex nodded and stood up, he was going to go for a walk.
--
Outside.
It was already a night, the nightlife here continued with some lamps and torches around the city, people mostly disappeared only a cold sense of air could be felt around the entire place.
Alex turned towards the city that was being bathed in blue light from the gathering clouds of the sky.
"Yes, the terrible storm is coming, this smell is too strong." Alex took a breath and said this.
He suddenly raised his eyebrow and smiled as he walked over to a barrel that had a little stick on it, he took the stick and went towards the main central side of the city.
The city was extremely advanced, as the main marine guard for the mainland it had an enormous wooden wall stumped around it.
The main central point of the city could have been considered an enormous building Alex didn't recognize, he was going there... except he was not.
He walked over to a dark corner between a few houses with people not walking and said.
"Come out, you have been following for a while." He said this and smiled and from the side of the building, someone came out.
That someone had a long beard and one eye with an eyepatch, he had leather clothes and looked like a pirate.
"Ohohohohoho?" He licked a dagger and laughed with his crooked tooth.
"Great, some street rat has been attracted, did you smell cheese on my mouse?" Alex raised his eyebrow and said this.
"Very funny foreigner, you see? you shouldn't have thrown those coins in the sky so leisurely, you know? Baddddd people can be attracted to the smell of money" Pirate was talking evilly but he didn't consider this.
*BSHHHGGGGG*
Alex pulled his hand and threw the stick at him.
"AGH!!!" Pirate was hit in the nose.
"DAMN YOU!!!" His nose was bleeding.
"I don't care about the reason for throwing out trash, why would i care about yours" Alex rushed over and got ready to fight.
"AGH!!! DIE!!!" Pirate jumped up, he started to swing his dagger around.
*PACK*
Alex dodged, very easily caught his left hand, pulled his feet over his knee, and...
*BSHHHGGGG*
Dropped him in the ground.
"AGHHHGH!!!" Pirate felt extreme pain in his left hand.
"Well... that was easy... now sleep." Alex smiled and said this.
*CRACK*
He knocked the pirate out and threw him close to the little trash that was in this place.
"Phew..." Alex cleaned his hands and was about to leave but...
"Oho?" Alex tripped on something, and he noticed the thing that was on the ground.
It was a little wooden circle plate with something written on it.
"This is interesting... Illyrian... and this symbol... pirate symbol, Illyrian Pirates..." Alex said this and took the little symbol from the ground.
He looked back and smiled.
"Maybe this rodent is useful after all." He took the pirate in his hands and left the place.
He was going to... "Talk" To his new friend.
Alex looked around the city and decided to go to a big hotel, he had enough money given by Paula to spend as much as he could.
"Now i think about it, how did Paula get so much money, wasn't the village extremely small for them to have a big money-making business like this?" Alex thought about this as he walked passed quartz-decorated pillars and beautiful houses.
And he reached the place he wanted to reach.
"Dolphin's Rushed Feet... weird name for a tavern, but this will do." Alex looked up and saw the entrance made from wood and he could see it had a second floor as the balcony could be seen upwards.
He entered the tavern with a smile.
He was going to... have a little chat with people here.
