First of all, we have to investigate the ruins around us, maybe there is something wrong with Helji's memory, and maybe her doll is not in the basement.

The next thing to do is to ask the neighbors who live around here to see if anyone has been to the ruins in the days that Alice has been away from Mosar - perhaps some daring child has ventured here and brought back Helge's doll as the spoils of his adventure.

After that, it's just a matter of luck.

Alice finished the first thing in fifteen minutes. And the second thing took her almost an hour of her time. However, it is a pity that after doing these two things, she still got nothing. After all, it's just a worthless doll, and even if someone takes it, it won't attract attention. She casually found an excuse to visit the inhabitants of the fire, but no meaningful information fell into her hands.

I didn't notice. ''Didn't pay much attention. ''Someone seems to have gone in.'' The news received from the townsfolk was the same. No nutritional value at all.

I'm in trouble.

"I just made a promise, how can I just give it up?" the girl murmured, and soon thought of a way to deal with it.

What you can't do, others may not be able to do. After all, if you are a foreigner, you may not be able to get what you want, even if you don't have the slightest malice in your communication—people always prefer to trust their neighbors with bad attitudes than trust friendly strangers.

So, since you can't do it yourself, then just go to someone who has the ability to inquire about the information to solve the problem.

Alice moved her shoulders, the weight of her harness reminding her of the weight of her bag—she had gotten a lot of loot in Ustengra, and it wasn't a convenient strategy to just leave it on her body.

"It's time to go find Aphro, too. ”

………………………………

When the scale of the clock is offset by a small square, the sunlight at the right temperature is evenly sprinkled, and the hanging card of the Night Star and Moon Chamber of Commerce is plated with a faint golden glow. The owner of the Mosal Night Star Chamber of Commerce, Aphro Night Star blinked slightly, and her almond-colored pupils glowed with a warm glow.

She was not surprised by the visit of the girl in front of her.

Because, it's a matter of course.

"Happy hunting, is there anything I can do for you......"

As she spoke, the miscellaneous members of the chamber of commerce left silently. While Alice was still confused as to which one she was singing, the second half of Aphro's unfinished sentence gave Alice a shocking blow.

“…… Dear lady Dragonborn?"

Alice was startled—she was almost literally jumping.

"You, how do you know!?" the girl's pupils contracted sharply, and her exposed snow-white arms entered a tense state in an instant.

She took a light breath and asked in a deep voice, "Is it Xiaoya?"

"I can't think of a better explanation for the use of the roar power of the bloodline of Ethrodil that should have belonged only to the heroes of ancient Nord, other than the Dragonborn recorded in the Book of Prophecy. Avro leaned back on the cushion relaxedly, crossed his fingers over his chest for a long time, and said, "Feim-Zii-Gron—that's how it sounds." Escape into the void and transform the entities of the physical realm into nothingness...... Ah, if I hadn't read it, I wouldn't have believed it. ”

Aphro's eyebrows furrowed, and he looked kindly at the girl in front of him.

"I don't mean anything malicious. She said briskly, "Actually, when I first found out about it, I was half scared to death. I thought it was a rising star, but I didn't expect it to be a big man of Chaoyang's level. ”

Alice lowered her head slightly, and after the initial surprise, the calm love gradually returned to her.

Of course, she knew that Avro had no ill intentions, and if she had, she should not have opened the cards so bluntly, but should have taken something more cautious and secretive. But Aphro didn't do that, but just revealed the hidden truth so directly. Then the meaning of this woman with rare orange hair is clear.

First, I have no ill will.

Second, I have something I want to ask you.

Third, your identity is no longer hidden, at least not a secret in the eyes of some people.

She breathed a sigh of relief and took a small sip from the cup on the table.

"How can you help me?" replied Alice. "Or maybe Your Excellency the Chamber of Commerce have prepared any novel tasks for me?"

"Ah, that's a lot. Aphro nodded slightly. "First of all, let's settle the previous deals. ”

She bent down and pulled out a small, beautifully decorated box from under her chair. The chest opened, and a rich aura of magical energy emanated from the contents of the chest. Alice then turned her gaze and saw a pile of long crystals inside the box.

Deep purple, translucent, prismatic crystals that linger with pure magical energy.

"Soul Stone?" Alice asked, confused. "What are you doing with this?"

"These are standard soul stones full of white souls," Afro explained, "and their market value is very stable, and they have remained at the price of two thousand cyptins for hundreds of years. And it's also very easy to store, even if it is stored in the warehouse for decades, it will not wear out at all. Therefore, in large cash flows, we usually use soul stones to pay the bills. ”

"According to the prior agreement, the Night Star Moon Chamber of Commerce will provide you with the service of exchanging the loot into money. Aphro gracefully flicked the dark purple prism, confident in his wealth and abilities. He said, "Let's get this out of the way." ”

Alice nodded, and silently took out the Helmet of Alozemo and placed it on the table. looked at Aphro expectantly.

“………………”

“………………”

The smile on Aphro's face froze. It is like a large lake with rippling water, and the sudden cold wind freezes all the ripples and small waves on the water surface in an instant. Alice could look closely at the corners of her mouth, the hanging smile and the folds of skin at the corners of her lips like an inorganic stone sculpture.

"Ah, it's my fault. Avro blinked, quietly removed the small box full of soul stones, and replaced it with another, more ornately decorated box.

"A big man like you naturally won't look down on such a petty plaything. Her eyes rested on the black helmet. Diverted the topic a little stiffly.

"This is Anrozemo's kit, a demon creation left over from the Gate of Annihilation, which is very strong, lightweight, and has all kinds of powerful and mysterious enchantment effects...... If it hadn't been for the recent news of it in Mosar, I probably wouldn't have recognized it. With some difficulty, she looked away from her jet-black helmet and at Alice.

"Why don't you keep it for yourself?"

"Is this it?" Alice shook her head slightly. "I don't wear heavy armor. ”

"Ahem," Aphro coughed twice, a little dismayed.

"I've seen wizards who gave up their study of arcane law for more than a decade for a family heirloom sword. I've also seen mercenary warriors stabbing each other for a piece of steel-made armor. And now a demon relic that is said to be priceless is in your hands, but you want to sell it because you don't like heavy armor...... Should I say it's you......? Uh, a lot of money?"

"It's not something to care about. Alice shook her head and replied. She also felt quite uncomfortable being told by others like this, and she didn't have the intention to continue the topic.

"I've put this aside for now, I have a personal assignment that I would like to entrust to your Chamber of Commerce. ”

"What kind of matter is it?" Aphro asked, "Although we can still say a few words in the Night Star Moon Chamber of Commerce on the Yar Border, if it is too troublesome...... It's also going to be overwhelming. ”

"Oh, that's not a hassle. ”

………………………………

Half an hour later, Alice, with a pile of extra-large soul stones, left contentedly. Aphro readily agreed to the request to help inquire about the ruins of the fire or the missing Jamila. And the loot she got from Ustengra was well disposed of.

- Although she didn't know whether she was making money or losing money.

In addition to this, Alice also gets an invitation. An invitation from the hall of the lords of Mossar, specially delivered to her by Aphro's hand—the wise Lady Igmund Old Raven, the rightful owner of the Yar Frontier and the foreseeer, invited her to participate in a tea party in the hall of lords in her spare time.

Alice didn't know what was behind this tea party. She didn't know anything about Igmund Old Raven Lady. But she knew that this time she had better go and listen to the old woman's opinion. Otherwise, it is estimated that it will be wanted and chased everywhere like in Xueman.

Alice had been assassinated enough that she didn't want to create a new enemy.

"Okay," the girl put away the invitation and left the front hall of the Night Star Moon Chamber of Commerce. "I've never been to a tea party before, so it's okay to see it now. ”

[However, in this case, the identity of the Dragonborn is estimated to be completely exposed...... What would I do about the other one?]

Alice put her worries down for the time being. Then, walking in the direction of the alchemist's hut.

Before fighting the dragon head-on, it is better to prepare the pre-planned potions.
