Danica's apology looked like a ridiculous joke to everyone.
"What is this guy talking about, it's funny. ”
The aristocratic lady who had fallen towards Magria just now let out a deliberate laugh, stared at Danica with slanted eyes, and then shifted her gaze to Magria and extended an invitation to him.
"Leave her alone, Monsieur Magalia, the first dance of the evening, and I hope you will be my dance partner. What do you think? If you don't already have a dance partner. As he spoke, he took the initiative to take his arm.
Danica looked at this scene, both helpless and a little angry.
She had almost forgotten that the aristocratic evening was such a thing, and its nature would not change no matter how many years passed. A group of aristocrats interacted with others for their own benefit. The most common, as it is now, is to choose a marriage partner.
She may have picked a bad time.
I always feel that this party is a little different from my cognition.
Shouldn't these noble ladies with low status start with their elders? Especially when they meet for the first time, the style of young people has become so free and casual? Is her idea too old?
"Sorry to interrupt you again. Danica took a step forward, closing the distance between herself and them, staring at Magria.
"I haven't heard your answer yet, Norman Magalia, I hope you'll forgive me. Also, I ask you to apologize to me as well. ”
"What the hell are you talking about? Who invited you? ”
Norman laughed, the smile on the surface, the smile did not reach the depths of the heart. As if just looking at a stupid joke, a stupid and impertinent pathetic joke.
"I'm not talking nonsense, I'm serious, I apologize to you for all the ridiculous scolding I gave you that day, and in the same way, you have to apologize to me. I can ignore the slap thing, the past things, I hope you can apologize to me, in this way, the pain that your past naughtiness and malice have brought me. I think...... I'll try to make it write off. ”
"So, again, I'm serious, and I hope you can apologize to me. Danica once again, sincerely, told the other party her thoughts, "If you want to listen in more detail, I can take everything you have done in the past, all of it, and I can ...... it here."
Before he could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted, and it was not Norman who interrupted Danica.
When Norman heard these threatening words, his angry muscles jumped out, and he was about to take action to stop it, but he was stopped by others first. Someone pressed him on the shoulder, and when he looked back, it was his brother.
"Norman, I didn't expect you to be so popular, more popular than me. ”
The person who interrupted Danica's failure to continue was Remington Magoria.
"It seems that you have scared the guests I have invited a lot. Remington glanced at Danica, "I want to give you a chance to explain." ”
"You invited her, what the hell is your idea?"
In the face of Norman's questioning, Remington shrugged his shoulders and beckoned to him, "Come here." ”
Norman, full of rage, glared at Remington and did not obey his words.
Remington had no choice, and looked at the noble ladies who were still standing near Norman, "Can you please lend a few steps?"
They looked at each other, feeling a little confused, but they were all members of the Magria family, and there was no reason to refuse, so they all took a few steps back. At this time, it happened that the beautiful music sounded again, and Remington whispered a word in his ear, and quickly retreated, and Norman's face changed in an instant.
"I'll go first, and I'll leave it to you here. ”
This you, referring to Danica.
"What's going on? ”
Danica muttered quietly, staring at the expression on Margeria's face, as if it had turned blue and purple because of Remington's words, it was rare to see such a magically discolored face. The first moment she saw it, she almost couldn't help but laugh out loud in an exaggerated way, and hurriedly pretended to rub her nose and blocked her mouth with her hand. Fortunately, I held back in time before laughing, and it was not easy to tell the truth.
After some discoloration, Norman finally recovered from his hesitation, and his face returned to his normal appearance.
Danica felt relieved, relieved, and a little vigilant, what did this guy say next......
"I forgive you for your stupidity. The ignorance and arrogance of my youth have done things that have hurt you, and I apologize to you for that and beg your forgiveness. Magoria said these words in a serious manner, which startled her, but she felt that this scene was so unreal.
"Ah...... Really?"
Danica asked again.
"Don't make me repeat!"
"Sorry, I'm sorry, I forgive you......"
What the hell Remington said to him was incredible.
It shouldn't be possible for this guy to be replaced, right? The eyes of the people in the vicinity who cast their eyes on him can be said to have never left him for a minute. It is unimaginable to say these words so obediently, but it is unsettling.
That guy really apologized to her, not casually, not fooling, and couldn't have heard it wrong, hallucinating or something.
In that case, what about the others......
She glanced around and saw that people around her were whispering.
Some of them cast a complex gaze on themselves, which contained an indescribable meaning.
Confused, unbelievable, uneasy, nervous, contemptuous?
And so on and so forth.
Their attitude still seems to be good and unfriendly.
"Well, I've had enough of all sorts of unpopularity today. ”
Danica comforts herself that she can only go to Samuel and leave from here.
The most important task for tonight has been completed, and there is no need to linger any longer.
After walking around, Danica searched for someone she was looking for, but she couldn't find it.
"Strange, where did you go?"
Walking back, intending to look for it again, I passed the door that led to the back garden and saw someone coming in from the dark garden outside.
Subconsciously stopped, and when she saw the other party's face, Danica was taken aback.
She immediately put away her surprise and walked over to them.
"Where have you been?"
Danica wants to remind them not to make this place their home, not to wander around, or they may be mistaken for a thief. Of course, these are not the right words to be said in this place now, so let's go back and tell them again.
"We should be leaving. ”
She came in with only one person, but when she went back with two people, hoping that no one would be able to show this, otherwise her actions would be very suspicious.
However, Hima doesn't plan to leave just like that.
"You go first! I'm going to find the Terran. ”
"If you want to investigate yourself, don't involve us in it. ”
Samuel went on to warn her, "Don't just use that kind of thing. ”
Danica was a little confused and looked at Hima seriously, "I don't understand, but you continue to stay here?"
"Don't underestimate me, even a great magician wouldn't think it would be so easy to catch me. ”
Since she said so, she must be very confident in her own strength.
"Then let's go back and see him, and the other companion who told you about it. ”
Danica was referring to going back to the branch and telling Lilil about her current situation.
"By the way, you go back and tell Lilil that Hima has a hunch that Rustma will be there in these two days. ”

The slums in the city were as dirty and messy as ever.
A man with a stumble walked slowly forward from a side path.
The man looked thin and short, bent over, and looked like he was moving the same way. The long hood, almost as long as a garment, obscures the face, making it difficult to see the face or whether it was intentional. In short, there are quite a few guys like this guy here.
Walking forward, I saw a dilapidated stone bridge.
The water under the stone bridge was dirty, and there was a faint smell spreading.
A few down-and-out men gathered on the other side of the stone bridge, a smell that was nothing to anyone who had lived here since childhood. Only those who set foot here for the first time will cover their noses with disgust.
The man walked slowly to the other side of the bridge, and as he passed, the words of the men reached his ears.
"What the hell are the nobles doing, don't they fancy this land, and there has been no movement for so long. ”
"Come on, I came here some time ago, and I haven't been here since, so I'm afraid that's it. ”
"Haha, I'm thinking too much. ”
"What are you talking about, don't you need money?"
"It's all poor here, how can those old men really fancy this place, they just want to see us laugh at it, you actually take it seriously! ”
"I'm going to win! I don't believe I'm going to lose all the time!"
"Oh my God, are you going to borrow money? You're already in debt. ”
Suddenly, the man stopped.
Turning around, he walked back to the few people who had gathered there to gossip.
"You guys. ”
He spoke, making a hoarse voice.
"Who are you? Looking for something?"
One of the tall guys looked down and questioned the guy who had suddenly stepped in.
"Do you want money?"
"I'm missing, three. ”
Three more, and there will be ten.
Moreover, the pets who left are almost coming back, and the power should have been collected enough.
******
The heat covered the sky, and the two of them set off at seven o'clock in the morning, walking from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.
"Elsie, I'm so sorry to trouble you again. ”
"It's okay, I'd like to take the liberty of asking, why does Miss Clynn need so many herbs?
The previous attempts were mixed up for various reasons, and ultimately failed.
Xiao Tie realized that it was really difficult to speak alone.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously clenched his teeth.
There is no room for failure, or you will not be able to face her......
But Atley was unexpected, or rather, as if he hadn't noticed at all.
"Atley?"
This guy still didn't seem to hear it, so Xiao Tie also began to think about his next move. Even though the Water Sword likes to play with children, he spends most of his day with the imps. Unfortunately, its mode of action is too casual to be fathomed.
In the name of hide and seek, the group of children had already tried to bring the Water Sword over, but it didn't work.
Other than that, Xiao Tie couldn't think of any good way.
In other words, it is impossible to snatch the Sword of Water away from Lillian Klin, and to think of a way back to prevent her from catching up, without a magic scroll at hand. Of course, if there weren't that kind of curious imp in the village, he might be able to try drawing a magic circle. He is not a magician, even if he can draw a magic array, but the success rate is great?
Well, there's probably only one riskiest way to do it.
This purchase is undoubtedly the best opportunity.
Definitely not to be missed.
At the foot of the mountain, Atley finally came to his senses.
"Already down the mountain?"
"Are you distracted, are you troubled?"
It's hard to get used to this way of talking, and it's likely that when he goes back, he'll have to stay away from a certain type of person.
"Ah...... I'm sorry. ”
Atley covered his forehead and apologized to the little railway.
"Is it because of Miss Kling?"
"Alas, I am a pharmacist, and there is no one to help me for the time being. How to say, I have encountered a very difficult situation, how to cure the disease of that person, what herbs to use, I ......"
"Troublesome?"
"It's the first time I've seen this kind of patient......"
"That's why you have to buy so many herbs?"
"I've almost run out of the previous ones, and I'm going to buy some other herbs, so I'm going to ask you again, it's going to be heavy. ”
"That's okay. ”
Xiao Tie probably understood what was going on, he sneaked in a few times, and the first time he found a locked room. The next few sneaks failed to reveal the weaknesses of Lilian Clint and the Sword of Water, but when he infiltrated through a tree and a window, he discovered a man in the room who was tied up with ropes.
In fact, Xiao Tie didn't go in that time, just because the edge of the window sill was the easiest to leave marks.
It was a long walk, stopping a few times to rest and spending a couple of hours.
Finally, they came to the village.
Standing at the gate of the village, Atli was a little worried.
"Elsie, it doesn't matter to you, do you?"
"What?"
"Last time I was here...... Leave you with bad memories. ”
"No, nothing. ”
That thing, I almost forgot about it if I didn't mention it.
"This time, I'll protect you. ”
"Oh......"
It should be the other way around, right, but what is this guy trying to say? It's weird.
The two of them walked into the village, and as before, came to the shopping street where medicinal herbs were sold. In the store, which was filled with the smell of medicinal herbs, Xiao Tie watched Atli choose medicinal herbs.
"Elsie, can you help me count how many there are here?"
Xiao Tie helped count the herbs while looking at a list that Atley had given him to see how many were left.
After more than half an hour, Atley placed a basket of herbs on the counter.
"Boss, check out. ”
After counting, I paid and walked out of the store.
Atley took the list, "There's one or two left...... There are so many, will there be these ones in this season?" muttered, looking a little worried.
"Where else are you going?"
Putting the herb he had just bought into the basket behind him, he saw Atley pointing in a direction.
"Let's go. ”
Just about to step out, suddenly someone walked over with his head down, and he didn't look at whether there was anyone in front of him.
Deliberately?!
Before he could say the scolding, he met the pair of eyes that the other party raised his head.
This face!!
Xiao Tie's face was surprised, and he was so surprised that he didn't even speak in time.
Atley turned around, trying to catch the guy in a hurry, "Hey, you guy?!"
Unfortunately, the other party ran away before he was caught.
Atley immediately turned his head to look at Elsie.
"You're not hurt, are you? I'm sorry, I let him run. ”
"It's fine. ”
"What is this man...... Forget it, it's okay if you're okay...... Let's keep walking!"
Next, the two went to three shops, and several herbs were never found.
Coming out of the store, Atley scratched at his hair in frustration.
"It's a problem, none of these stores have this kind of goods. ”
"But we've already bought a lot. Most of the thirty herbs on the list have been bought. ”
"Those three are the most indispensable. ”
"Atley, it's noon, why don't you find a place to sit down and have something to eat. ”
“…… Fortunately, it took a lot of physical effort for us to come all the way. After eating, let's inquire later. ”
found a restaurant and ordered two meals, Xiao Tie took the opportunity to leave on the grounds that he had run out of water and went to pour water again.
"This note?"
When I was just bumped into, I slipped the note into my pocket.
After glancing at the contents on it, Xiao Tie tore it up and threw it away.
"Can you help......
"Ashie!"
Suddenly, Iron hears Atley calling his name.
"Great, you're okay. Uh, I'm a little worried to see you haven't been back for so long. ”
“…… Well. ”
In the afternoon, I began to continue my previous work, and under the leadership of Atley, I came to the market. Come to the stall with the herbs, and ask about the remaining herbs one by one. After turning around a few stalls, the stall owner didn't say that it was out of stock or that it was sold out.
It is said that one of the herbs grows in a dense forest. Recently, there is a strange rumor that people who enter the dense forest will lose their way and cannot find the exit, and over time, not many people are willing to explore the dense forest.
Atley had to ask the stall owner who had bought the herbs, and had to think of something else.
After pestering for a long time, the stall owner finally named a man and told them his address.
Fortunately, the village is not big, and if you are a traveler, there are not many hotels here, and it is basically not difficult to find.
"I'm sorry, but I'm going to ask you to go with me one more time. ”
Xiao Tie said it didn't matter, and according to the address provided by the stall owner, they passed through a narrow and winding alley on the way.
After entering the alley, there were exactly a few people passing by in the alley.
Xiao Tie glanced back, and when their figures disappeared to the other side, he put down the basket he was carrying.
"I'm sorry, Atley, this basket feels heavy after a long time, can you do me a favor?"
Atley turned around, just about to put his basket down. When the basket fell to the ground, Atley showed his obvious back, and his whole body was flawed, Xiao Tie stood behind him, raised his hand and slammed it into his back.
"It's so defenseless. ”
