Chapter 462: Price Drop
"Really, if other gods see this kind of appearance, they will definitely be ridiculed and say that they don't look like gods at all, and they lose the face of the gods. ”
Walking in the Gothic city, Alice looked at the depressed shops around her, with only a few items on the shelves, including a few sturdy and air-dried meats in the food store, and the price on the sign was more than ten times that of before.
Looking at the sallow and malnourished crowd walking down the street, still wearing torn clothes in the cool autumn, with a numb expression on their faces, and no hope in their eyes.
Alice is now doing the work of inquiring about information, but it would be a bit inappropriate to ask a person who is worshipped as a god and a person who has already embarked on the path to becoming a god and whose strength has reached the top of the pyramid of the main plane to do the matter of inquiring about it.
If you let other gods know what Alice is doing at this time, and use the words that became popular thousands of years later...... "Alice, you quit the group" or "Isn't it a fake god", you will definitely be ridiculed fiercely, and you will not be able to raise your head for a long time.
The girl who brought calamity, it seems that this time it really deserves its name.
Alice looked at the scene around her and laughed inwardly at herself.
The blockade of Scandinavia by the Baltic Empire and Francis Drake has been a great success, and it is foreseeable that under the current situation, a large number of Scandinavians will die of cold and hunger in this cold winter, especially the elderly and children with weak immune systems.
Pity, pity, inbearability
Of course, Alice has these emotions in her heart, but she has to be ruthless in her position to do these things that will cause thousands of people to die.
She is no longer the boy named Aino she used to be, and the world she lives in now is not a peaceful world where even blood is hard to see, but a world without any concealment, where power is victory, and the strong dominate everything.
This Gothic city is no longer the savage and primitive feeling of the last time it came here, the wounds of war have not been fully repaired, the wounds of the victors are still bleeding, and the chains of hunger, cold, and disease bind everyone living in the city.
Most of the corpses still in the dark alleys had died of hunger, cold, and disease, and the Gothic soldiers tied their mouths and noses with sackcloth, fished out the stinking and rotting corpses from the stinking gutters, piled them together, and burned them in a fire.
There is no way to do it, the cold winter will turn the whole city into a hotbed of disease, and these rotting corpses are the favorite mother of the plague, if you are not careful, the terrible plague will break out again, and then sweep the whole city, the whole country.
If diseases and pains can be carried by cheap herbs, willpower, and strong physique, then these things can have little effect on the plague.
Alice walked with unhurried steps, she did not use magic to transform, but used the most primitive method, using some tools used by noble ladies and ladies to dress up to make up, and with the help of her vampire maids, a typical Scandinavian maiden was born.
She was wearing clothes made of cloth of various colors, and the stains on her face could only barely recognize her gender, and her hair, which had been treated with a special potion, was stuck together, and the smell on her body gave people the feeling that she hadn't taken a bath for a long time.
It was a novel experience for Alice, but it was clear that such outfits were everywhere in the city, and no one was looking at her for more than a second.
She's looking for the dark alleys of the city, hoping to find the guys who live in the gray area, just like last time, and get information about Siegel and Sigourney from them once again.
There was no way, as she couldn't be sure if the Snow Mountain Druid had actually joined the Scandinavian Empire, or if Sigourney had actually reneged on their agreement and renounced revenge.
If the Snow Mountain Druids were to join Scandinavia, it would be easy to find Alice without concealment due to their large number of spellcasters.
As for why he didn't go directly to Sigourney to inquire or confront him directly...... Alice is not stupid, and if Sigourney does change her position because of her and Siegel's children, then what awaits Alice will be a siege from the powerhouses of the entire Scandinavian Empire.
It's not that Alice didn't have the confidence to escape from such a siege, but it was not necessary to make such a big formation and make such a noise in order to inquire about something as simple as intelligence.
Alice has been in the city for two days, but in the past two days, she has not received any useful information, and the wall built in the middle of the city is really very eye-catching, and with her current status, she cannot enter it at all.
And the people in the gray area who wanted to find were nowhere to be found, the place where she last went was empty, leaving only a ruin full of garbage, and if it weren't for the magical defenses arranged around Alice, the stench that greeted her when she opened the door could have made her vomit all the food she had eaten the day before.
"It really made me look for a while, how to hide in this place, it's too remote. ”
Using some magical magic, and with the little information left in the garbage heap, Alice made her way around half the city and found a secret door at the pier of a small bridge.
She didn't care about any passwords, any identity verification and other things, confirmed that no one noticed her figure, and a [switch technique] helped her solve the problem, and then swaggered open the door and walked in.
The dark, moist passage leads to nowhere, and there is a strange smell in the air that is impressive, it is fresh with a little water, with a little earthy smell, and with a little vegetative smell.
The passage was very quiet, only the sound of water droplets echoed from time to time, and due to the special nature of the lich, such a gloomy environment did not affect Alice's vision, and she could clearly see the road under her feet without stepping on something strange.
After walking for about thirty minutes, passing fifteen forks in the road, and dodging some warning and defensive traps, she came to a waterhole.
The icy water flows down through the crevices in the riverbed, allowing the water in this pool to remain fluid and not become a stagnant pool without the slightest vitality...... Bats, rats, snakes, and other small animals that prefer to live in dark, humid places are clustered here.
They try not to clash in this place as much as possible, because the fighting will destroy the environment here, and the blood will pollute the clean water here, thus destroying the entire ecological environment.
"It's amazing, isn't it? These predators and predators can live in harmony without conflict. ”
A slightly magnetic sound startled the critters who were drinking, but it disappeared in a matter of seconds, leaving only the tiny stream of water to continue spraying down the wall.
"There is nothing strange that any contradiction seems so insignificant when the goal of survival is the same,"
Alice was not surprised by the sudden sound, in her induction, a middle-aged man was standing next to the waterhole, exuding a strong negative energy aura from his body, even if it was more than ten meters away, it could be clearly smelled.
"I thought it was a little mouse, but I didn't think it was a big cat?"
The middle-aged man still maintained a leisurely posture, with a smile on his face, and was able to open the secret door without a code, and through a series of traps and forks in the road, which was not something that an ordinary Scandinavian little girl could do.
But so what, even if she wasn't an ordinary little girl, he didn't have the slightest reason to worry about it, in this dark and humid small space, even those powerful legendary berserkers among the Goths, he had the confidence to be able to fight against them.
"Little mouse, big cat, it's really funny, I didn't expect that one day I would be called like this by others. ”
The makeup-on-makeup face made it impossible for the middle-aged man to see Alice's expression at this time, but from her tone, it was also full of pride and disdain for him.
"Okay, I'm not going to talk about that nonsense, since I found this place alone, then you should know what I'm here for, right?"
"I don't have that much time, not that much curiosity to find out your secrets, and I don't want to know why you're here, and so many precautions, not for those things. ”
Alice said impatiently, although as an undead should like such a cold and humid environment, but as a lich who still maintains the [girl's heart], it is still very difficult for her to like such an environment, even if she stays here for an extra second, Alice feels extremely disgusted.
If it weren't for the fact that she didn't want to reveal her identity, then there was no need to maintain the current situation at all, and she could simply know what she needed by controlling the other party's mind with a [Charm Monster], and through the last incident, she believed that this time she would not return empty-handed.
No matter what kind of identity the other party is, it is not enough to see in front of Alice, not to mention that the other party can't even see through Alice's disguise, and the strength is obviously easy to see.
"Okay, okay, it's my fault, it's my fault. ”
The middle-aged man lifted the magic that had shrouded him, and his figure appeared in Alice's vision...... Typical Scandinavian appearance, wearing an inappropriate black coat, a top hat on his head, and a black cane in his hand, the overall temperament looks very strange.
"There's no need to introduce yourself, out of this gate, I don't know you, and you won't know me. ”
"So, young lady, what do you need from us, and what are you willing to give?"
The middle-aged man bent over, observing the girl in front of him without a trace, and searched quickly in his mind, hoping to find someone to match the dirty Scandinavian girl.
It's a pity that with the strength of this middle-aged man, he can't see her true face through Alice's disguise.
"I'd like to know about the princess of Barusenga, now Queen Sigoarney of the Empire. ”
Of course, Alice can't say anything about the Snow Mountain Druid, after all, there are still a few people in Scandinavia who know about the Snow Mountain Druid and use it to make contact, and the person who has recently come into contact with the Snow Mountain Druid is herself.
If Alice asks about the Snow Mountain Druid, as long as the other party is not stupid, it is easy to find out Alice's true identity through this clue, and if these people in the gray area have a cooperative relationship with Siegel, then waiting for Alice is a small trouble that is not easy to deal with.
Although the people in the gray area nominally uphold the principle of neutrality, they are not suitable for exploiting loopholes and loopholes in the rules, and if they have not greeted the Scandinavians and have a certain amount of cooperation, then with the character of those barbarians, they will definitely spare no effort to strangle them...... Because the Scandinavians who like to go straight and walk in a straight line in everything they do, they have a rejection of things like intrigue and intrigue engraved in their bones, which is one of the reasons why most Scandinavians don't like Loki, the god of fire, who is known for his cunning.
"The princess of Barusenga? ”
Less than two years have passed since the demise of Barusinger, and the grand wedding seems to be still in front of us, and the ceremony that was supposed to bring peace to the entire peninsula will still bear the fruits of war, and the sweet smell of power has an indelible smell of blood.
"She's not cheap, what do you want to know about her?"
Not cheap means that it can be sold to Alice, and it also means that these people in the gray area are not very close to the owner of the place, Siegel, so it is explained that this stronghold is so hidden and has so many traps.
Although Alice had deduced the news from the other party's words, on the surface, she quietly stretched out her finger and made a hundred gestures.
"A hundred gold coins? a little less, a little less. ”
If it was before, the price of a hundred gold coins would be enough to buy this information, but now in Scandinavia, where supplies are scarce and prices are skyrocketing, a hundred gold coins can't be exchanged for anything of value.
"Two hundred. ”
"Deal. ”
Seeing that the other party agreed so readily, the middle-aged man's heart couldn't help but pass a trace of regret, but soon he adjusted his mentality and returned to that careless appearance.
