56.Gentle Female Knight VS Prince of Loyal Dogs (5)
In addition to these killers, Shirea and Aaron also encountered another group of killers on the road, and they were ambushed not far from Sara City.
It should be someone sent by Simon, the lord of Sarah.
If she wasn't mistaken.
Thankfully, though, it wasn't too much of a problem.
Except Aaron, who was dealing with the second group of people, suffered a small injury.
In the end, they came to Sara along the way.
With the king's edict in hand, he came to the city of Sara openly.
Simon, the lord of the city, welcomed them with a smile on his face, and very enthusiastically prepared a luxurious room and a sumptuous dinner.
Shirea lives next door to Aaron's room, which Aaron asks Simon for. A young and beautiful female knight and a young and handsome minister. It's easy to think crookedly, and female knights in this era can easily be used as mistresses by their masters. Simon had the same idea.
Shirea looked at Aaron, who was walking towards her room, and said, "This Simon is a little strange. β
Aaron nodded, "Purple Stone." He didn't mention it all night, instead crying that there was less and less ore coming out of the mines. Like let's die. Sister, why did you bring up the idea of visiting the mines? Even if you did, it would be useless! That Simon would surely erase the suspicious traces tonight. β
"Nope. Hileath shook her head and denied his answer, "No matter how much he erases the traces of the gem, he won't tell a lie on the spot." β
Aaron was surprised, "Sister, do you want to talk to the workers? they won't answer you." It's just that the scene is not moving, and if he doesn't admit it, we agree that there is no way at all. β
It's very thoughtful. But he misses a little, and people's faces will always reveal his heart.
"If you don't give it a try, you really won't have any chance. β
Aaron smiled and said, "Sister is always so hopeful. β
Shirea pressed his shoulder. Last year, she could easily touch his head, but now she can only touch his shoulder.
"Old-fashioned. How old are you, don't talk like that in the future, or I'll be spanked." β
Aaron's gaze floated, and his face was crimson in the light, like a pink gem.
"Got it!"
It's still so easy to be shy.
It's hard for her to continue teasing him.
"Come to me tomorrow before breakfast. She said with a smug face.
"Hmm. β
"Good night then. She left him a goodnight kiss on the cheek and gracefully walked to the next room.
Holding his blushing face, Aaron stayed outside the hallway for a long time, only returning to the room after the lights in Celea's room went out.
The next day, it was another sunny day.
After having a hearty breakfast with Aaron Simon in the living room, Shirea went back to the room to change into a set of clothes, a black lace skirt and long boots, and long light blonde hair tied into two braids with a white thick band, which looked very sweet and mysterious.
The change of this outfit is also to bring a dagger and try not to be discovered by Simon.
The mine is on a rocky hill on the edge of the city of Sarah.
The mountain called Bachina.
It has been mined for a hundred years.
It is also one of the largest mines in Sarah.
Twenty kilometers around is a rocky mountain, standing here like a fierce beast.
When Cerea and Aaron arrived with Simon, it was almost ten o'clock, and it was the time when the workers were busy. Countless men in the prime of life pushed wooden carts full of stones to and fro, sweat beading on their heads. Occasionally, you can see a few teenagers from Aaron's college struggling to carry rocks.
Simon saw that Celea's eyes had been fixed on the teenagers who were adults, and explained with a smile, "Miss Celea, these children have to come out to find jobs because their families are too difficult. It's just that they are responsible for moving a certain amount of stones every day, and they can do it at their age. But I couldn't help but scold the cadres in charge of this matter in my heart, so I didn't pull these broken children into the black hole and hide them.
Aaron took one look at them and said, "All right." Please take us to the mine!"
"No problem, Your Excellency. β
Simon led them inside.
Xireya looked at the gray-clothed young man with a complicated face next to the boulder not far away, and always felt that he wanted to say something.
"Silea?" Aaron couldn't call her sister in front of outsiders, so he resigned himself to calling her name.
Simon glanced at Shirea and felt where her eyes were looking, and his face turned bad.
Shirea turned around and smiled, "Sorry, let's continue!"
A smile immediately appeared on Simon's face, "Okay. Secretly, a pair of well-maintained hands full of gems made a gesture to the side of the hand.
When the group was completely gone, a fierce man took a thick whip and whipped it straight at the gray-clothed young man.
"I want to sue, I'm impatient!"
"Bah...... Do you think that weak chicken-like chincha can save you? β
"Fuck, I almost got killed by you. β
β¦β¦
Whip after whip, so that the boy was so painful that he couldn't speak.
The people around them walked away in front of them indifferently, and even those who were familiar with the boy did not dare to go up at this time.
Being alive at this moment is like a luxury.
The boy endured the pain and shame, his small fists clenched tightly.
But his consciousness drifted away.
Apparently I didn't get much information from this trip. This is what they expected. Even so, they did not sit idle, but went around interviewing the residents of Sarah, collecting some of Sara's things in recent years in a sporadic way.
Hard work pays off.
After a mysterious guest came to the city lord's mansion the year before, the purple stone in Sarah's gem shop began to disappear.
It is very likely that Simon colluded with others to secretly hide the purple stone. Who was that man? a prince and nobleman of his own country or a business tycoon of another country?
Anyway, it is absolutely impossible for the purple stone excavated in the mine to be only that small, according to the amount of purple stone in circulation and the price increase they checked.
As soon as Xireya thought of this, a gray-clothed boy inexplicably appeared in front of her.
The boy he met that day at the Bachina mines.
If you can talk to him, you will definitely gain a lot. However, now, as long as the workers who have worked in the mines, they are basically not allowed to go down the mountain.
This made it difficult for Silea's idea to take shape.
The more so, though.
On the contrary, she became more and more combative.
It's really a special mission, it's really brain-burning.
She couldn't help but complain.
After patrolling the street, Cerea walked to the meeting place with Aaron in her hand, holding a pile of paper full of writing.
Not long after she came, Aaron called out to her not far away.
"Sister. β
Her sapphire eyes were as beautiful and deep as the ocean, and her handsome face was full of smiles, and when she looked at her like a Labrador dog wagging his tail, she was so cute that Cerea couldn't help pinching his face.
"Aaron. What are you like over there?"
"It's not a big deal, it's pretty much the same as I asked earlier. Aaron shook his head.
Sheilea was a little disappointed, but it was too obvious that she didn't show it.
"It's pretty much the same on my side. It seems that this trick has almost worked well. "Sheilea was wondering what they should do next?" Now the clue was broken again, like a string of beautiful pearls suddenly lost a small one, so that the original pearl necklace could not be restored to its previous appearance.
Aaron comforted her and said, "There will be clues, sister, don't worry too much. Would you like a piece of bread?" he held in his hand two paper bags of bread.
Sheilea wasn't hungry, but she ate anyway. Thinking about continuity is mind-consuming, and there's nothing wrong with supplementing with a little nutrition.
While eating bread on the street and walking, they were like a pair of young people who came out on a date. The walk was also aimless, in order to blur the vision of the spies sent by Simon.
They passed through an alley, dark and embarrassed, and the smell of filth had accumulated over the years, almost like a poisonous gas.
As soon as Silea's feet were close to half a step, a black bat flew out of it, and immediately fainted after hitting her head, and fell to the ground.
What a stupid bat.
Shirea leaned down and picked it up and placed it in a safe place. Just as she was about to do so, a faint voice drifted into her ears.
"Aaron, wait. There are people inside. Shirea called out to Aaron next to her. The blue eyes looked inside, and it was a little dark inside, not too clearly.
"Anyone?" she picked up her skirt and tried to go inside, but was stopped by Aaron, his eyes full of disapproval.
"Sister, I'll go in first. The affirmative tone was not to consult with Cerea at all, but to unilaterally ask her to obey.
For this question, Xirea didn't really care. She waved her hand indifferently, anyway, there were two of them here, and it wasn't dangerous.
Aaron drew his sword and walked down the alley, picking up the garbage bags that stood in his way, his eyes as sharp as eagles.
The smell inside was so bad that Cerea couldn't help but take out a rose-scented handkerchief from her pocket and cover her nose.
Suddenly, Aaron in front stopped.
Shirea asked, "Aaron?" The boy who was a head taller than her could obscure her vision.
Aaron stepped aside, and the scene ahead of her appeared in front of her instantly.
The boy curled up in a ball leaned against the wall, and his angry appearance startled Silea.
He had a pair of eyes closed, and his gray clothes were stained with blood, which had been dried for an unknown number of days.
None of this is the point.
The point is that the appearance of this young man suddenly overlapped with the gray-clothed young man in the mine in her heart. No, he should be the boy in gray.
What makes Cerea strange is why he is here, it stands to reason that he must be in the mines!
More importantly, it still appears in this kind of place.
Hilea, however, was excited.
Because of his appearance, it may mean that their investigation can go further.
"Aaron, quickβlet's go to the infirmary. β
She heard her voice so joyful.
