Leonard and their caravan drove into the port of Shevis in a caravan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info heard the shouts of the fishmongers on both sides of the road, guarding the stalls: "Eh!---The fish that came back from the sea this morning is fresh!--Sold cheaply!-"... It seems that the port city southeast of Lars has regained its former prosperity.

Suddenly, I saw a girl on the side of the road, about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a blue-green silk dress, with bright teeth and bright eyes, fair skin, pale orange hair, a few freckles on her face, two braids combed behind her head, and a face that was not very beautiful, but she looked particularly lively and powerful, while holding the hem of her skirt with her left hand, and at the same time swinging her right hand vigorously, ran to the carriage in which Leonard was riding, and called out loudly: "Your Royal Highness, Princess!

Sitting next to the coachman and Tina, a bodyguard leader in a suit and leather shoes saw this and hurriedly instructed the coachman: "Stop." It's the mayor. And Mr. Cliff's wife and miss. When the coachman heard this, he immediately stopped the carriage. I saw the girl behind her. A middle-aged man in a formal dress and a richly dressed blonde woman with an umbrella walked slowly in front of a large group of bodyguards wearing sunglasses, black suits, and shiny leather shoes.

When the girl saw Tina get out of the carriage, she hurriedly stepped forward, took the hem of her dress with both hands, and bent her knees very skillfully and gracefully, performed a noble etiquette, and said to herself with a modest smile: "Your Royal Highness, Princess." I'm Cliff's daughter, Caia. If you are meeting for the first time, please give me more advice. ”

Seeing that Caiya was so respectful, Tina replied kindly: "Caiya." You don't have to be polite. I have been cared for by your father a lot. When we meet for the first time, please bear with me and remind me what I should pay attention to in Port Shevis . ”

Caiya found that Tina was not only not much older than herself, but also very modest, and did not have the shelf that a royal nobleman should have, so she replied with an innocent and bright smile: "Your Royal Highness Princess." You're so kind. A noble and temperamental person like you can just play casually in our port with blue sea and blue sky and wide sea and sky. ”

When the lady with the umbrella heard this, she immediately stood behind Caiya and hurriedly reminded her daughter: "Caiya." How can you say that? Her Royal Highness is not here to play. ”

When Cai Ya heard this, she immediately stepped aside, pressed the face under her right eye with the index finger of her right hand, revealing the inside of her eyelids, spit out her tongue, and made a naughty grimace at the noblewoman, complaining: "Ouch." Take care of everything. Dislike. ”

The lady put away the umbrella, and also took the hem of her skirt with both hands very respectfully, and curtsied: "Your Royal Highness the Princess." I'm Cliff's wife, Caiyun. This kid is usually spoiled. Don't be surprised. ”

Beside Caiyun, a middle-aged man in a formal dress also pressed his right hand on his chest, bent down close to ninety degrees, bowed and made a big salute, and humbly introduced himself: "Your Royal Highness Princess." I'm the mayor of Port Shevis ..."

Tina used her own personal experience to persuade Caiyun: "I think Caiya's performance is just right now, she is lively and active, and she is innocent and cute. If a girl's family is too tightly controlled, it is not necessarily a good thing. Once the flowers grown in the greenhouse leave the greenhouse environment, they will be more likely to wither and wither. "Frank has always been very lenient in the education of female mages, allowing his daughter to grow up freely from an early age.

When Caiyun heard this, he couldn't help but tremble with fright, and hurriedly leaned down again with sweat on his face, and promised with sincere fear: "I will definitely follow His Highness's teachings and let this child grow up healthy and happy." ”

Caiyun is a typical virtuous and helpful woman who has no title of nobility, has not received much education, has been at home all day long, has never experienced the wind and rain of the outside world, and the nightmare of Cliff's sudden arrest and imprisonment by the provisional government of Vosfitta last time still haunts her heart. All this made Cliff's wife feel that she had no capital, and offending even a little bit of a royal relative like Tina would cause unexpected disasters.

In this world, with the exception of the aristocracy and the wealthy, the commoners, especially women, were largely uneducated and generally illiterate. To learn spells, to control spell energy, to become a mage, to practice swordsmanship, to learn moves, to become a swordsman, these are all things that nobles, at least rich people, can do. Ordinary civilians can only honestly work as peasants or hired laborers, as well as soldiers at the lowest level of the army.

Only a human with a mere 100-year lifespan to become a high-level mage, must be taught by a very powerful master. This is because to control the power of spells, it is necessary to use certain experiences and skills that cannot be expressed in words, and in addition to relying on talent to comprehend, you can only obtain the true transmission from the master.

All the other races in the Farusion Continent could not be compared to the elven race with a lifespan of thousands of years in terms of magic attainments. The elven king Clios is reluctant to develop a magic bullet launcher, and the Wright family of the human race is desperately developing a magic bullet launcher, all of which have their own special reasons.

Seeing this, Caiya, who was standing aside, put her hands behind her back, laughed happily, and persuaded her mother: "Your Royal Highness the Princess." You're just too good. Mom. Don't take it too seriously. Her Royal Highness is very approachable. ”

Seeing that Leonard and the others had all jumped out of the carriage, Tina continued to speak, introducing her companions: "Please don't be polite. These are Leonard, Bran, Hanks, Crotty, and Howl who came with me. They are all very approachable and absolutely reliable people. ”

Then Tina turned her head and asked the mayor of Port Shevis again, "I have come to find a man who claims to be a mysterious merchant. May I ask this person, where is he now?"

When the mayor heard this, he reported truthfully: "This mysterious merchant has only released the news that he will stay in the port of Shevis and wait for your Highness." As for where exactly he was waiting, it was not revealed at all. This person also released a message saying: If you come to him. Naturally, he would show up. ”

Leonard was intrigued when he heard this, and expressed his wishes: "Interesting. It seems that this mysterious merchant is also pretending to be quite mysterious this time. Do you want to go find this guy now?"

Hanks took Leonard's words and made two of his own utterly dismissive comments about the mysterious merchant: "He would play such a clever trick in his own right." In my opinion, it's more like a charlatan's trickery. ”

Tina instructed: "Anyway. Now that everyone has arrived at the port of Shevis has. Let's split up and find the mysterious merchant now. ”

Seeing this, Caiyun hurriedly asked Tina with a smile: "Your Royal Highness Princess, please wait." It's getting late. Our whole family has prepared a sumptuous dinner, and we are looking forward to your Royal Highness's arrival to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. And I would like to ask you a lot about my husband. ”

Tina, as a guest, felt very warm and reluctant to accept the host's invitation, and asked for the advice of her partners: "Then how about we all go to Cliff's mansion for a banquet first?" It is the etiquette of a nobleman for a guest to accept the invitation of the local host, unless it is a deep hatred with the other party, it is very rude to refuse unreasonably.

Leonard, who had visited the Mystery Merchant and knew that he was nervous, reminded Tina worriedly: "That Mystery Merchant is a stranger and stubborn fellow. If he knew we were coming, but didn't go to him. I'm not sure this guy will make a name for himself. ”

When Tina heard this, she was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer: "This... So..."

In order not to put Tina in a dilemma, Leonard followed suit, "Then, let me go to this troublesome mysterious merchant." Go to Cliff's mansion first. ”

Bran was very angry, put his right hand on Leonard's shoulder, and echoed: "Then, I will go with you too." Who told us to be accomplices in the crime?"

Howl continued, "I'm not too interested in the banquet of your human nobles. Go to the mysterious merchant, count me in. "As a long-haired orc with an ugly appearance and a rude and savage demeanor to humans, he is often the object of discrimination at the banquets of human nobles. Orc guests from Jiluo are usually arranged by their human hosts to eat at a side table.

Tina asked a little embarrassedly, "Is it really okay for you not to go to the banquet?"

Leonard replied with a smile, "Business matters. We're just limited to one less dinner tonight, and there are plenty of opportunities for that in the future. ”

Caiyun was also reluctant to keep these few people who looked like Tina's bodyguards to go to the banquet, especially the orc who looked very dirty and sloppy. So, with a bright smile on her face, she interjected to persuade the female mage: "This gentleman is really reasonable. Your Royal Highness, please don't hesitate to come to our house for a banquet. ”

Caiya also came to Tina's side and helped her mother: "Your Royal Highness Princess." Today's sumptuous meal is specially prepared for you. ”

Tina agreed, turned her head, and told Leonard and the others, "Okay, let's go." Ray, Bran, Howl, if you find the mysterious merchant, please take him with you to the feast at Cliff's mansion. So she went to Cliff's mansion, accompanied by Hanks, Crotty, Caiya, Caiyun and the mayor, surrounded by a large number of bodyguards.

As soon as Tina and the others left, Bran asked Leonard, "Ray." Where are we going to find that mysterious merchant next?"

When Leonard heard this, he smiled and said, "Where you usually look for it, you can find it now." ”

Hearing this, he became anxious and asked loudly: "Thunder." Tell us where to look? Today, we haven't eaten yet. ”

Leonard continued to laugh and sell off: "Don't you already know where to go?"

Hearing this, he asked even more puzzledly: "What!? How would I know?"

Bran had already guessed Leonard's intentions and sought confirmation: "Ray, stop playing tricks. You mean, we should go to the tavern and inquire, right?"

Leonard asked rhetorically, "Yes." Isn't the tavern a place where our mercenaries often go to find out what to do?"

Bran, who had never been in a tavern outside of Bagram, couldn't help but ask a little reassuringly: "But this is the port of Shevis in Lars, not in Bagram." It might be a little different, right?"

Leonard boldly speculated, "Aren't all taverns the same everywhere?" The mysterious merchant guy is in the tavern with a large pile of empty wine bottles, drunk and unconscious, waiting for us to wake him up. ”

Hearing this, he immediately echoed with interest: "Interesting." I've never met this mysterious merchant, but I can't wait to meet him. ”

Leonard replied, "Then let's hurry up." Then he led Bran and Howl around the busiest neighborhood of Port Shevis and found what appeared to be the largest tavern in the neighborhood by the side of the road, and paced in.

As soon as Bran entered the tavern, he went straight to the counter where the lobby manager was, and asked, "Boss." Let me ask you..."

Leonard grabbed Bran's arm and shouted to the lobby manager, "Boss." If you have any good wine and good food in this shop, just go up. ”

Bran was pulled straight to a dinner table by Leonard and sat down, unable to understand the other party's question: "Why didn't you let me ask just now..."

When Leonard heard this, he replied with a slight smile: "Don't be in such a hurry. Let's finish our meal first. ”

Bran sat down and asked Leonard, "Didn't you just say that the mysterious merchant would be drunk and waiting for us in the tavern to come to him?"

When Leonard heard this, he picked up a large glass of draft beer on the table in front of him, foaming at the surface, took a big sip, exhaled a mouthful of air, and asked Bran with a pretended surprise on his face: "Ah?—I was just joking, can I adjust the atmosphere." How can you take it seriously? I'm not a roundworm in the stomach of a mysterious merchant. ”

When Bran and Howl heard this, they jumped up from their seats at once, and asked loudly in unison, "What!?" The two of them, who had always admired Leonard's correct prediction of some things, such as Sean's appearance and temperament, were convinced by the great swordsman's rhetoric about the mysterious merchant, and they couldn't help but be surprised that it was a casual nonsense.

Bran continued to stand at the table, asking with a serious face, "Aren't we going to the mystery merchant?"

Leonard greedily stared at a large plate of crispy grilled chicken that had just been served to the table by the waiter, shiny, fragrant, and steamed and fried to a browned and crispy skin, while salivating and reaching out to break it, and loudly greeted Bran and howl: "Definitely." Let's try this crispy grilled chicken first. "Chickens are birds with multicolored feathers, flightless, teeth in their mouths, and claws on their wings.

Seeing this, the howl, who was standing at the table with Bran, criticized Leonard with disdain: "In this situation, you can still eat it." ”

Leonard tore off a large chicken leg with his right hand, put it in his mouth with the bone and meat, and chewed: "It's delicious." It's the signature dish of this tavern. Didn't you just say that you haven't eaten yet? I really don't know how to enjoy life. To make this crispy grilled chicken, the chef uses special spell props to make the bones of the chicken crispy and crispy, as easy to eat as crispy chicken skin and white chicken.

Smelling the spurting aroma, seeing Leonard sitting in his seat and feasting, the corners of Bran and Howl's mouths couldn't help but salivate, and their stomachs cried out indiscriminately: "Woo-"...

Bran winked, "Forget it. Let's talk about it after we've eaten. As the saying goes, people are iron, and rice is steel. So, the two of them sat back in their seats together, stared at the target fiercely, stretched out their dragon claw hands, firmly choked the charred and crunchy flesh of the large plate of crispy grilled chicken, kept swallowing saliva, and tore it up regardless of their lives.

Seeing this, Leonard, who was sucking his fingers stained with delicious spices and grease, couldn't help but tease the two partners present: "Isn't that right?" ”

At this moment, Bran and Howl were completely absorbed in the wonderful taste and could not extricate themselves, and they had no time to pay attention to what Leonard was saying: "It smells so good!" "It's delicious!"
