Chapter 507: Sailing on Land
Chapter 507: Sailing on the Ground
Standing in front of Aunt Nietzsche was a woman of about fifty years of age, who seemed to be called Mary, with short gray curly hair, a slightly wide face, a thick nose and big eyes, and a pair of lips that appeared extremely thick. It can be seen that the other party's face is obviously covered with a thick layer of foundation, which makes her whole face look as pale as a ghost, but the lips are red as if stained with blood—in short, how strange is this woman to look at......
Mary was dressed in a brown and yellow aristocratic robe, and she looked like a nobleman. However, every time Aunt Nietzsche saw the other party wearing this robe, she had to force her to hold back the smile that almost burst out of her chest—to speak, she knew even more about the origin of the noble robe that the other party was wearing than the woman in front of her!
When he first saw Mary wearing this aristocratic robe, Nietzsche had a familiar feeling, especially like the one she had handled last winter! But she didn't care for it, because this noble robe was one of the most common, and many wealthy but not aristocratic people liked to wear it.
But once when Aunt Nietzsche met each other on the road, Mary was foaming at the same time and chatting about lace news with another person, and she didn't notice Aunt Nietzsche walking by, when a gust of wind suddenly blew up, blowing the corners of Mary's aristocratic robe, and when Aunt Nietzsche inadvertently looked at the inside of the robe, she saw some stitches that she was very familiar with - those stitches were all sewn by Aunt Nietzsche one by one, so Aunt Nietzsche firmly believed that she was absolutely not mistaken!
It was at that time that Aunt Nietzsche knew that the origin of this aristocratic robe on Mary was a little strange. Later, when she received a new task from the original owner of the noble robe again, she heard the other party complain that the house had been patronized by thieves and had been stolen a lot of things, including the noble robe! When mentioning the robe, the original owner couldn't help but laugh at the thief's lack of vision, and there were a lot of good things in his house, but the other party just took away the old robe that was no longer valuable!
Aunt Nietzsche only laughed at that time, and did not tell anyone afterwards the secret she had discovered, and although she disliked and even hated the woman named Mary, she never tried to denounce the other person's thoughts, and the original owner of the robe had the intention of discarding it.
In this large city with hundreds of thousands of people, two people living in different urban areas have met many times, so much that both sides are enough to remember each other's faces. Especially during this time, after entering May, she can meet each other in the morning every once in a while!
Aunt Nietzsche and Mary are both early risers, but the reasons for their early wakes up are completely different - Aunt Nietzsche is going to the Elenda grocery store to buy special fruits and vegetables as soon as possible, while this Mary's woman is purely out for a stroll, or rather to show off!
This is not jealousy, and Aunt Nietzsche does not feel that the other party has anything worthy of jealousy—think about it, on this May day, and now it is June, but wearing a winter style robe, isn't this behavior abnormal? Even Aunt Nietzsche once guessed that the reason why the other party chose to go out early recently is probably because it is too hot to wear this robe in the evening!
So Aunt Nietzsche has long decided that Mary is a woman who loves to show off to the bones!
Speaking of which, like Aunt Nietzsche, this woman named Mary, her son, was once one of the suitors of the proprietress Elenda!
As for Mary's son, Aunt Nietzsche also learned about it when she was chatting with others, and he was a young man of about the same age as her own son, and he was still an awakened person! Aunt Nietzsche doesn't understand these first-order, second-order or something, but in her eyes, even the weakest awakened person is much stronger than ordinary people like them!
I heard that Mary's son had given her a lot of gifts to the other party in order to pursue Elinda, including gems such as garnets, delicacies such as honey fruit feasts, and good fabrics, etc., of course, none of these things were accepted by Elinda in the end, and all of them were turned away.
Later, Aunt Nietzsche heard that Mary's son seemed to be about to sneak into Ellenda's house (not a shop, but a house) one night! Unfortunately, while he was picking the lock, he was caught by two guards passing by! Finally, Mary's son was thrown into prison, and I heard that he was locked up for three months before he was released! When he was finally released, his nose and face were swollen, and almost no part of his body was intact!
After that incident, there was absolutely no possibility between Mary's son and Elenda (although even if there was no such thing, there was no possibility between the two). Unexpectedly, Mary's son and Elenda are no longer entangled, but Mary herself has begun to entangle with Ellenda!
At first, when her son was pursuing Ellenda, Mary would go to the grocery store almost every day to buy things, of course, not much, just like a normal customer. In addition, she praised Elenda for how beautiful, virtuous, and housekeeping...... Those who don't know about it really mistakenly think that Elenda is the established daughter-in-law of her family!
But when it came to her son, Mary's tone began to change completely—she didn't dare to trouble the guards who had tormented her son for months, but she poured all the hatred in her heart on Elenda, who was completely innocent in this matter!
At the beginning, she would go to the door of Elinda's grocery store almost every day and scold, slandering all the vegetables and fruits sold in the grocery store for being from improper sources, scolding Elenda for her pure appearance and vicious intentions, and even claiming that Elenda once accepted a thousand gold coins from her son, but later denied the marriage proposal she had promised...... In short, how ugly she can be, how ugly she scolds!
Not only that, but she not only went to the door of the grocery store every day to scold, but also said that Elenda was not all kinds of things! It was also because of this incident that Aunt Nietzsche looked down on the personality of Mary, and felt that it was entirely because of the existence of a woman like Mary in the world that the word 'shrew' appeared!
Fortunately, during a routine inspection of the business district by the sheriff, he happened to encounter this incident, and after learning the whole thing and the truth, the sheriff immediately asked the guards to take Mary back. At that time, Mary still wanted to quibble, but the sheriff just asked her nonchalantly, "Where did you get a thousand gold coins?" and she was dumbfounded on the spot!
In the end, Mary was released after only one day of imprisonment, and for the sake of the other party being a woman, the sheriff did not embarrass the other party, but only gave a warning. So after being released, Mary didn't dare to make trouble in the grocery store again, but whenever she met an old grocery store customer like Aunt Nietzsche, whom she could recognize, she didn't come forward and sneered, for fear that she would be uncomfortable all day!
Accidentally bumping into Mary was like noticing flies in the soup when she was drinking soup, which made Aunt Nietzsche's original good mood suddenly diminished a lot. However, Aunt Nietzsche knew that the other party was the type that the more you fought against her, the more energetic she became, so she simply didn't notice the other party, and walked past the other party in the established direction with low eyebrows.
Seeing Nietzsche dare to ignore herself made a trace of anger appear on Mary's face, but when she realized that the other party was moving in the direction she was walking into, her eyes suddenly flashed with a flash of schadenfreude.
"Stop, it's closed here today!"
Sure enough, when Aunt Nietzsche walked to the intersection, she was stopped by two guards standing aside.
The other party's murderous appearance couldn't help but make Aunt Nietzsche take a big jump. Aunt Nietzsche is the kind of character that is better for more than less, but when she thinks of the vegetables and fruits that have been completely eaten up in the house, she still can't help but cry out and ask, "Please, may I ask the guard, why don't you let people pass through here?"
"Uh, that-"
When Aunt Nietzsche asked him like this, this young guard, who had looked like a murderous god a moment ago, became distracted at this moment, and even blushed, looking like a shy boy next door!
"You stinky boy!"
At this time, another guard who looked like a middle-aged man standing aside raised his foot and kicked the young guard lightly with a smile, and then turned his head to Aunt Nietzsche and said, "I'm sorry, eldest sister, this is an order from Lord Viscount himself - until we receive a new order, no one is allowed to pass through this intersection! In fact, not only here, but the streets leading from the Two Realms Gate to the area around the Clock Square have now been blocked, please forgive me if there is any inconvenience caused to the eldest sister!"
"I beg your pardon!" At this time, the young guard next to him also shouted, and even bent down and bowed to Aunt Nietzsche!
Seeing that the two guards who were awakened apologized to themselves, Aunt Nietzsche couldn't help but be stunned, and after a while, she finally came back to her senses, and kept waving her hands to the two guards: "Don't dare, don't dare!"
"And as you all said, since this is an order from the Viscount himself, there must be a reason!" said Aunt Nietzsche, who did not forget to add, and then turned to leave.
As she turned around, Aunt Nietzsche thought to herself—according to the two guards, if the road leading from the Gate of the Two Realms to the Clock Square was blocked, it would not be impossible for her to go to the grocery store!
Glancing at the morning sun in the east in the distance, Aunt Nietzsche walked in the other direction.
"Gollum-" "Gollum-"
As Aunt Nietzsche approached the main street where the Gate of the Two Realms led to the Place du Clock, she suddenly heard a sound that seemed to be the rolling of the wheel axles, and judging from the sound from the far to the close, it was not one or two wheel axles, but too many to count!
Thinking of what the two guards had said to herself, Aunt Nietzsche immediately decided that the sound of these axles must be inseparable from the orders given by the Viscount! For a while, this could not help arousing Aunt Nietzsche's strong curiosity, and unconsciously, Aunt Nietzsche had greatly accelerated the speed of her steps, and the direction had also been deflected to a certain extent from the original direction!
Along the way, Aunt Nietzsche noticed that there were many people on the street who were walking in the same direction as herself, and they were all walking in the direction of the Two Realms Gate - probably like herself, they also rushed over to see the excitement! But when she really got close to the Two Realms Gate, she realized that this place was already crowded with people!
However, this aroused Aunt Nietzsche's curiosity even stronger, and with the vegetable basket in her hand, she was stunned to squeeze through the thick crowd all the way to the front of the crowd!
When Aunt Nietzsche raised her head, walked through the gap in the row of tall guards in front of her, and saw the objects that were constantly advancing behind them, Aunt Nietzsche couldn't believe her eyes—the five holy spirits were on top, they were ships, and these were ships that could be pushed on the streets!
