When the other party's target was not confirmed, although Rhodes found the uninvited guest, he did not react anything other than secretly guarded.

can appear in his room in the middle of the night, except for the warbler, there is only the punisher - this kind of superhero-like role, Rod can't understand it anymore, an outsider like himself appeared in the room, and he didn't stay at the Bori Inn "as a thief", so it's strange that my punisher didn't come to see it!

If it were any other time, Rhodes wouldn't mind getting to know the Punisher Lady - unfortunately, Rhodes really didn't want to get involved in any kind of accident now.

If you're going to test something...... Then I'm just an ordinary person.

Rhodes, who didn't want to make trouble, ignored the movement outside.

The Punisher didn't seem to give up, and she deliberately showed her footsteps, trying to test Rod's reaction.

And Rod's reaction was simple - he directly pulled the rope in the room that represented something.

At the end of the rope, the bell rang in the service staff's lounge, and soon someone came up to ask what was the matter with Rod.

Rhodes directly said that someone was walking around in front of his door just now, disturbing his rest.

And for Rod's statement, the innkeepers can only apologize......

After some tossing, Rhodes asked them to pay attention not to let inexplicable people come in and disturb them.

Rod's performance was still good, and the job apparently took him for a bit of a fussy guy, and after apologizing again and assuring that this would not happen, he left Rod's room.

Then, by the time Rod started meditating again, the guy outside was finally gone.

Since then, there has been no word for a night.

In view of the excellent service, Rod generously gave two silver snake coins as a tip at the checkout the next morning - and the fellow greeted Rod again in the envy of his colleagues.

Well, much more sincere than yesterday's apology.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Rhodes also inquired about the caravan - according to Rhodes himself, he was a merchant from Piltover, who had come to Ionia to expand new trade routes, and needed reliable travel companions.

The enthusiastic work was to recommend several caravans to Rod, some of which would depart on the same day, some of which would pass through Weili tomorrow, and some of which would stop here for repairs after three days......

For the sake of tips, the job told Rhodes everything he knew about the caravan.

Rhodes left the inn after asking in detail about a caravan that was leaving for Presidium today.

Presidium was the capital of Ionia, but Eri was not an important trading city - in this case, Rhodes had no choice but to hitchhike with this caravan.

……………………

The trading post in Weili is not big, but it is very lively.

Today is the day when the caravanserai of the small town of Karimos departs for Presidium - this caravan travels between Ryli and Presidium twice a year to bring some fresh knick-knakgets to the inhabitants of the area.

The owner of the caravan, Karimos, is a smiling old Vastaya, and unlike the usual Vastayas who like to live outside the tribe, Karimos is a man who loves trade, life, and food, and because of his blood, he is able to change between multiple forms.

Just waiting in line for a ride, Rhodes saw his cat form and dog form—the former because he was going to his roof to remove the dried fruit, and the latter because he wanted to check if Rod had the "smell of the enemy".

Rhodes showed just the right amount of rejection and impatience for bringing his nose in front of him, and Carimos didn't care about Rode's emotions.

"Okay, okay, little guy who doesn't smell of blood - you passed my test, you can follow my caravan to Presidium."

"Now, try my dried fruit!"

As he spoke, Karimos turned back into the smiling old man, handed Rhodes a few dried slices of dried fruit, and then took out a huge pipe from under his counter in the cargo station and took a heavy puff.

"Outsiders always like to be seriously wary, and this vigilance seems meaningless to me, this is Ionia, not you Piltover, and we don't like to play any little tricks on trade contracts."

"How do you know I'm from Phi City?" Again, Rhodes appropriately expressed his astonishment, "I never seem to have ever stated my hometown. ”

"Because I have seen too many of your people, who have accepted the approval of Ionia and come to the Rim, always thinking of making a fortune - and then doing something about the contract."

"......," Rod blinked a little awkwardly, "what do you mean?" ”

"Then those unfortunate ones will lose Ionia's approval and will never be able to enter the Rim again - to be honest, I like the smell of you, and I hope you don't go down the path of those guys you used to, that's all."

Rod was slightly stunned, then nodded.

"Thanks for the advice."

As he spoke, Rod slipped a piece of dried fruit into his mouth.

The surging sourness made Rod's nose instantly redden, and if it hadn't been confirmed that this sourness was a simple taste, Rod would have almost risen on the spot.

Seeing this, Karimos laughed, he slammed his pipe, and then before rolling up his sleeve, he said that he had paid for Rod's room and board along the way.

"You're the most appetizing Picheng guy I've ever met." After making sure that Rod was no longer angry, Karimos took another puff on his pipe, "It's really rare. ”

"There are two problems." Rod held out two fingers in front of Karimos, "First, strictly speaking, 'Pichengkee' is a discriminatory and insulting slur, and no Picheng person will like you if you talk like that. ”

Blinking, Karimos' smile froze on his face.

"Second, I'm not actually from Phi City, strictly speaking, I'm from Zaun."

"Zaun?"

"That's right, Zaun." Rod nodded seriously, "Or ...... Zaun-Piltover Twin Cities Community. ”

Karimos touched his nose a little embarrassed, then directly transformed into a dog-headed Vastaya form, and began to roar at the guys who were secretly laughing.

One by one, those workers could only put away their smiles and speed up their actions.

And listen to Karimos with "Wang-hurry! Wang—Don't stop! The corners of Rod's mouth finally showed a slight smile.

Well, it seems that his identity is stable at the moment.
