Chapter 490

Cat by the Canal is still called Cat, but she no longer works as a servant for Brusco, the fishmonger.

Daughter of the most honorable duke, reduced to the humblest fishmonger's little maid.

Going from noblest to humblest is the best way to wear down your past as Arya.

The training of the cat by the canal comes to an end when the cat can do the meanest thing with peace of mind.

Starting half a month ago, she started the next stage of training: observe and learn the actions and characteristics of everyone and every type of people with her eyes, and integrate herself into that identity, allowing herself to adapt to any one that fits the current identity scenario.

She was the cat by the canal, the cat who sold oysters along the canal.

"Scallops, mussels, clams."

This night, as usual, the cat pushed the wooden cart along the canal leading to the old clothes dealer's wharf. Whenever someone passed by, she yelled loudly.

"Oysters, prawns, fat green mussels."

She would smile at them.

—— Smiling is the best way to convey friendliness and reduce guard.

This is what kind people taught her.

Cat thinks so.

Many times, with her ugly, dry, long, dark face now, people will stop and buy a few oysters because of her smile.

——The kind person also taught her: words can deceive people's hearts, but the most subtle expressions and subconscious small movements can deceive the other party's soul. A smile is also an expression, and it can also deceive people, far more than words people.

At first, only those with compassion would be infected by the ugly cat's smile.

Gradually, the cat's smile became more and more varied.

She is learning, she is imitating, she is summing up, and she is still innovating.

Her smile is natural and sincere.

Now, cats can see people's preferences based on their appearance and habitual small movements, so they can give sweet, pitiful, flattering, or humble things to make the other person feel noble and noble according to their preferences. The cat deserves a few penny smiles.

When she has insight into people's hearts and human nature, when she adjusts herself to cater to others as she pleases, Mao'er starts to be invincible.

For example, there is an actress named Sluoyi on the opera boat, who is shrewd, petty and vain.

Knowing that female actresses' youth is fleeting and most of them have a bleak end, she deposits her salary in the bank to protect her old age. However, she hooks up with Erakuo and Koons in the same theater, so that the two male companions can take turns paying for her luxurious city life.

But even Sloy sometimes bought oysters from Cat for a silver coin.

For another example, the old bustard of "Happy Wharf", known as "Happy Merry" Marilyn, would buy a dozen oysters and distribute them to the girls in the brothel every time she saw a cat pushing a cart passing by the brothel. them.

No, when the lights came on, Marilyn was shaking the biggest breasts in all of Braavos, standing at the door to welcome customers, when she suddenly saw an ugly girl smiling at her shyly, she waved her hand out of habit, and shouted: "Cat , give me a dozen oysters to send to the back yard and share with my darlings."

Cat readily agreed.

Leaving the happy pier, the cat's oysters are running out.

You can go home.

She started walking towards the Isle of Gods.

But she will not go directly to the Island of the Gods, it is still early, the kind person is not asking her to sell oysters, but to meet more people through selling oysters and teach her to become more people.

She made a circle, pushed the cart and continued walking.

"Scallops, mussels, clams."

The cat meowed again.

She meets an acquaintance.

She often met him at the Happy Pier, and his favorite was a 14-year-old blonde named Lanna.

Mei Ruilin priced Lanna three times as much as ordinary girls, and he never tired of it, because he was a very good thief and assassin.

Money comes quickly.

But she seldom sees him recently. When delivering oysters just now, little Lanna even asked Cat: Have you seen Rogo? I haven’t seen him for a long time.

The cat is also very curious, does Rogo have a new love?

So she leaned in, alluring Lolita-like innocence—her face was thin and dark, but her eyes were big and bright, the type she knew he liked.

In the past, she used this smile to ask him to teach her his unique skill - the pocket sword.

"Go away!"

But this time the cat miscalculated, and Red Rogo only gave her a cold look, and strode away.

No, it wasn't a miscalculation, she knew it would end like this.

Through his steps that lost the rhythm of the water dancer, and the faint murderous look buried deep in his expression, she knew that he must have killed someone just now, and she was also injured.

She has seen similar situations several times, after all, he is both a thief and an assassin.

Of course the assassin wants to kill people. If he doesn't kill people, how can he find Lanna?

Cat looked at Red Rogo's disappearing figure, and murmured softly: "The smell of blood is very fresh, the battle happened two hours ago.

The palm of his left hand was an inch below the heel of his right leg, and the injuries were treated by doctors.

His face was pale and he lost a lot of blood.

There was a bundle behind the cloak, which contained a ten-jin object, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

His mission should have been successful, but he was in a bad mood tonight. "

With a flash in his eyes, the cat pushed the cart close to the river, looked left and right, and lifted the cart vigorously.

"Crash!" The lobster, scallops, clams, and more than a dozen oysters were all poured into the canal.

Then she pushed the battered wheelbarrow into a side alley, where it tipped over against a pile of jumbled timber.

"Clap clap clap!"

Mao'er patted her thin face a few times, her clothes and face shape remained the same, but the cowardly peddler was gone.

Anyone who sees her now will regard Mao'er as a little hooligan wandering the streets.

Before Red Rogo passed through the next intersection, Little Ah Fei caught up with him and easily followed him.

—The cat's purpose was never to sell oysters.

as for the kind

If she could bring him a piece of news that even he didn't know, he wouldn't blame her for throwing ten loads of oysters.

Red Rogo is a powerful water dancer.

But the ones who followed him out of curiosity were the Faceless Men.

So, he didn't know, a pair of bright gray eyes watched him stop in the dark, stopped by a stone bridge with few people, took off his burden, and hid it in the pile of rocks in the bridge hole.

——Winter is coming, the canal has entered the dry season, and there are wet and slippery rocks on both sides of the river.

Cat stopped following Red Rogo because she was more curious about the burden than the assassin's next move.

When he left, she immediately walked over, looked through the stones, and unwrapped the package

"Mother of Dragons!"

She uttered one of those catchphrases of shock that is so popular in Braavos these days.

"That bastard, Hong Rogo, even killed babies. Fortunately, he often brags in front of Lanna: he is the most gentlemanly assassin, and the emperor and general will not make his rapier tremble, but when facing women and children, He always turns around and walks away."

Seeing the baby's corpse with gray skin and the nondescript dagger in the baby's heart, Mao'er's expression was cloudy.

The cat returned to the dark alley, threw the package on the cart, and pushed it to the island of the gods—the House of Black and White receives a large number of corpses every day, and is also responsible for disposing of unaccepted corpses.

The wooden boat approached silently, and quietly sent the cat to the pier of the House of Black and White. During this time, they did not say a word or even give each other an expression.

"I was curious, so I followed the past and finally found this."

Every night when I come back, the cat will report to the kind person what it has gained, and the news it has heard from the street, the pier, and the brothel.

"Ah."

The kind man smiled kindly.

He is very satisfied with her performance today.

——He wouldn't feel sorry for a hundred carts of oysters dumped in the river.

"Red Rogo killed a baby, he deserves to die," Cat said.

The kind person is no longer kind, and the smile on his face has turned into a stern expression: "We kill people, but we have no right to judge, and we have no right to surpass the God of Many Faces to decide a person's life or death."

The cat lowered its head, humbly receptive.

But she was punished anyway.

Maoer Jinji is independent, supports the weight of the whole body with the thumb of the left foot, and holds a tray with the left and right hands, and the waif keeps adding and subtracting weights on the tray.

The cat tilted her body, and the waif pinched the soft flesh on her buttocks.

At two o'clock in the morning, the cat fell asleep exhausted.

In fact, the cat should continue to follow, because not long after, Hong Rogo saw the gray-robed man who hired him in a narrow alley.

Well, Cat had guessed that he might be meeting the Hire, but she wasn't interested.

"You are late." Red Rogo said coldly.

In the darkness, his expression was unclear, but the gray-robed man opposite him could clearly feel his mood: very irritable and suppressed anger.

"It's not too late. I rushed over as soon as I received your summons." The gray-robed man said calmly.

"Let Deathwing eat you bastard! That's not a corpse at all. I've been to Qohor, and I've seen the Necromancer's stitch monster." Red Rogo cursed in a low voice.

"Then what do they look like?" the gray-robed man asked curiously.

"You don't know?" Hong Rogo raised his voice, his tone full of disbelief.

"Show me the head." The gray robe said kindly.

"Hehe, have you been at the pier? Didn't you see the fire?" Red Rogo sneered.

The gray-robed man didn't deny it, he patted the wallet on his waist, and said with a light smile, "I pay the money, you do the work, and if you see the head, you pay the money, that's an agreement!"

Hong Rogo's intact right hand unconsciously pressed the hilt of the sword, and said in a low voice, "My lord's head is too big to carry, but I brought back the baby's body.

You give me the money, and tomorrow I will leave a letter telling you where the body is hidden.On my Red Rogo reputation, I won't deceive you over such a small matter. "

The gray-robed man took two steps forward, a flash of comprehension flashed through his eyes in the cloak, he nodded and said, "I see, you were seriously injured."

Red Rogo tightened his right hand on the hilt of his sword, and said in a deep voice, "I killed four night watchmen before, and now I can kill two more."

"No, no, no," the gray-robed man shook his head repeatedly, "I'm just stating the facts, nothing else. I understand that you're seriously injured and can't carry too many heavy things.

But you are a little too cautious, I just want them to die, and seeing the corpse is just to confirm this.

You don't have to hide the corpse and threaten me, I won't be greedy for your bounty, let alone kill people to silence them. "

"Really? That's good." Red Rogo moved his right hand away from the hilt.

The gray-robed man untied the money bag on his waist, threw it over, and said, "15 Jinhui coins, after the final payment, we will settle the matter."

Red Rogo shook his purse, nodded and said with a smile, "The amount is correct, let's clear it up, goodbye."

With that said, he took a few steps back cautiously, turned and left.

"laugh--"

Suddenly, cold light flashed in the darkness, and blood spattered.

"you------"
