Chapter 44: Nightfall

What's the matter, Frankenstein? ”

When I opened the door, I saw Frankenstein dressed as a maid, and the woman of the family seemed to understand the reason why a strange man had appeared in the house.

It seems that Sean will not be able to appreciate the shock that the short skirt brings to the man in the coming days.

"Would you like breakfast, and if you need to, head to the dining room, Lord Haile Caesar is already eating."

As a qualified maid should do, in addition to the service of the maid, Frankenstein does everything in everything, whether it is making the bed, cleaning, cooking and laundry, the maid has to do what she has to do, but in her eyes it is to be done meticulously.

After saying that he would go down to eat later, Sean could see a relieved look on Frankenstein's face.

Closing the door, Sean stared at the iron sword on the table and sighed deeply.

Maybe he gave up the idea of killing the two women in this room for a while, or he felt that the other party was kind enough to entertain him, but based on the scene he saw in the basement last night, he judged that the danger of the two women was very high.

Either way, hesitation, let the hand unsteady sword, but also lose the slashing forward.

All in all, Sean gave up on the idea of fighting their swords, at least, not now.

"Good morning, Miss Hale Kaiser, and, of course, Frankenstein, thank you for the breakfast."

Dressed in a pure white dress, it looks like a pajama style, and it seems that Haile Caesar does not have Frankenstein's consciousness as a woman, nor does he have the intention of hiding his figure.

As if aware of Sean's eyes, Haile Caesar glanced at Sean's lower three ways, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and said, "Unknown traveler, I don't know what your plans are in the future." ”

The misunderstanding has long been resolved, whether Sean moves out and is a road idiot, he will also be bound by the curse of getting lost in a two-story house. As a result, he couldn't find his way back to the kitchen because he was in a hurry to go to the toilet, but such an excuse was listened to and believed by Haier Kaiser.

The title of pervert did not remain in Haile Caesar's heart, and it also made Sean breathe a sigh of relief, it is normal for a gentleman to be misunderstood, although he is used to it, he does not like this feeling.

"If you may, tell me what this place is, and where the forest is. As you know, as an adventurer, I don't know how to get to the well in the backyard, and since I don't know where I am, I can't know where I'm going next. ”

Refused the bread and milk brought by Frankenstein, remembering the scene in the dungeon, Sean still endured his hunger and declined Frankenstein's kindness, and prevaricated with his own weight loss.

These two masters and servants are prone to believing many unrealistic excuses.

Sean, who doesn't look athletic, loses weight is also a very ridiculous thing, unless he wants to maintain a skeletal figure.

This is no less than a life-threatening move for a person who is out on an adventure.

"Oh, is this your request?"

"Huh?! I wonder what Miss Hale Caesar means? ”

"Shouldn't there be a reciprocal price to get something from someone else, whether it's something practical or a message or something like that?"

With his chin propped up in his hands, sticky milk running down his mouth without hesitation, Sean could feel the whole table shaking.

Happy swinging legs?

Sean shook his head, probably not thinking that the woman in front of him was as cute as a little girl.

"You mean, it's a business?"

Little Sean carried the package to deliver the letter, not afraid of the sun or the wind and rain. I'm afraid that the black-hearted woman will deceive me, I can't go back without clues, I can't go back without clues......

For Sean, he is a black eye.

Neither how did she get here, nor where she was going to go, or what the lost book in Alice's mouth was.

Thanks to Haile Caesar, Sean also has some understanding of the world.

Whoever owns a city can occupy one side and become the most powerful person in one side.

And whoever owns several cities is called a king.

Hale Caesar's house is located in the Forest of El Winter, and Sean is on his way out of the forest.

The deal with Hale Caesar was for Sean to deliver the letters in the package to different cities, inviting the city's owner to the Forest of Elwinter, her house, to watch her latest research.

According to Hale Caesar's exact words: "This invention is a great invention that can change the whole world and affect thousands of years." ”

That being said, Sean has some conjectures about the invention in Hale Caesar's mouth.

Sean agrees to deliver a letter to him, and Hale Caesar will tell Sean anything he wants to know when Sean returns from delivering the letter, and even if she doesn't know, he will give Sean a place to find out.

As if he had to complete NPC tasks in the game, Sean, who was black-eyed, had nothing else to accomplish except for agreeing to the deal of Hale Caesar.

Alice's commission?

Probably, only God can know what exactly Alice needs.

Thinking of Hale Caesar's face, Sean was not angry.

Sean asked, "Do you know Alice the person?" ”

Haile Caesar nodded, "Yes." ”

Sean looked at her expectantly.

Haile Caesar rightly said, "I won't tell you." ”

Ignoring Sean's bruises, Hale Caesar explained, "Unless you will

The letters were all sent to those city lords, otherwise I would not have said a word, not a word. ”

"I understand, then how do I get back after I send the letter."

Sean asked the question of the future, and instead of providing him with a map, he showed him a way out of the Forest of El Winter.

According to Sean's road idiot attributes, if it weren't for Hale Caesar's emphasis that the road she pointed out had traces that were clearly different from the grass, Sean would not have agreed to the request to deliver the letter.

God knows if I have to go around the world to finish the letter in the package.

Haile Caesar didn't care about what Sean was worried about, "If you can't come back, I'll think you're dead in the belly of a certain wolf, but I just hope that you can finish delivering the letter and then fill the belly of the hungry wolf." ”

"Damn woman, how can I be soft-hearted. With that little arm and leg, Uncle Sean only needs one hand to subdue her. If you train her well, let her go east, and she will never dare to go west. ”

Gritting his teeth, he can only get over it now.

Carrying a small bag full of envelopes.

Sean didn't count them, and there were probably a dozen or so letters.

The letters were written with the lives of the recipients, and most of them were written with honorifics, after all, according to Haile Caesar, these recipients were all characters with heads and faces, and the worst ones were also at the level of city lords. Of course, without a certain status, it will not be considered by Haier Kaiser.

What exactly is her invention, is it the so-called organ splicing in the dungeon or this scientist-like woman, and there are even greater inventions.

Sean doesn't know.

Carrying a small bag, his mouth was full of complaints about Haile Caesar.

Deliver letters, retrieve books left on Alice's note, and see a bright red message in Frankenstein's room: Where's Alice?

"Uncle Sean won't be bound by these trivial matters, it's better to let Uncle Sean go back quickly, otherwise even a god will kill you."

Sean resolutely embarked on the path of exploring the world.

"Is that all it takes? Mr. Rabbit. There's something special about that man, you need to come and make a trip yourself. ”

"Of course, that's what Alice meant."

"I see."

The El Winter Forest, located in the southwest of the continent.

The air is humid, the vegetation is dense, evergreen all year round, and it is also a sparsely populated area.

The road in Haier Caesar's mouth is only the width of an ordinary carriage, and the so-called road has only a faint wheel imprint remaining on the road.

The road, which has grown weeds, seems to have been unpassable for a long time, at least it was once possible that this road was a very prosperous trade road, even if it became depressed for some reason, so that this road gradually merged with the weeds.

Thanks to the barely visible imprints, leaving the Forest of Elwinter became much smoother.

Like a normal forest, the Al Winter Forest is probably much larger than a normal forest, and the perennial mild environment makes it more abundant in flora and fauna.

Accompanied by the sound of birds that could be heard everywhere, there were two large wild boars, bowing their heads on the ground in search of food.

"Finally, it's out."

As if it were a farewell to the past, Haile Caesar's proposal was at least unproblematic.

Leaving the Forest of El Winter, the whole view is much wider.

Without the interference of the sky and trees, the plains make people's hearts much more open.

Wheat fields can be seen everywhere, golden ears of wheat are swaying in the wind, and the harvest season has arrived.

Half a day's journey, Sean completely left the area of the Elwinter Forest and came to the human society.

"Hahahaha, so you are a traveling merchant."

"No, no, Brother Tommy, the traveling merchant is just trying to make ends meet. As you can see, we don't have a single product on us, you can call us a troubadour. ”

"What is a troubadour, a being as great as Lord Marte?"

"In a sense, more powerful than the Lord of Malte, if there are no women here, I can show you what a troubadour is."

"However, if there were no women, the banquet would not be a banquet."

Tommy's oily hands make his big bald head appear brighter in the light of the campfire, making it difficult to look at directly.

Sean smiled slightly, dodging his intention to hook his shoulders and back, and explained: "A qualified troubadour must be a gentleman. It is a very rude thing for a gentleman to tell a story in front of a lady. ”

"I don't understand it, but I feel it. When the feast is over, you will let me meet the troubadours again. ”

"Okay, I'd love to."

With a glass of freshly brewed ale, Sean watched the festivities of the small village.

It's a good time, and the people here have a tradition of celebrating the autumn harvest.

Men and women alike alike joined in the joy of the feast.

The men raised their glasses and cheered, and the women let go of their former reserves and showed their beautiful bodies around the campfire.

The young man blushed, probably because of the strength of the wine, and looked at the woman in his heart stupidly, and received a roll of the eyes, and the smile on his face was even worse.

Occasionally, a young girl left the campfire with her head bowed at the boy's urging, drawing applause from the crowd, and a little ill-intentioned young man sneakily followed, probably because these people had engraved their studies in their bones, even at a banquet where they had drunk

Don't forget to observe and learn. Perhaps, the pair that is the teaching material, will protest against this. But on such a busy night, who cares.

A toast was raised with a shy boy, who smiled shyly and walked towards the girl's place.

Everything seemed so peaceful and lively.

This is the impression that this village gives Sean, compared to Alice, who has too many secrets, or Hale Caesar, who does incomprehensible work.

Although the villagers here do not have the appearance of those two women, and they seem to have much darker and rougher skin due to their perennial farming work, at least they will not make people feel too secretive when they get along with them, and they need to be paid attention to at all times.

Perhaps, the simplest happiness is simplicity.

Sean's wine buddies are leaving, and the feast is coming to an end.

After a man has eaten and drunk enough, all he wants is to continue to work.

After thanking Tommy for the shelter he had arranged, a smile appeared that all men understood, and Tommy scratched his head before he remembered that he needed to wash before he could continue the work.

Farewell to Sean, probably, the well will be very lively tonight.

A dilapidated but non-broken room, Tommy said, the owner of the house is said to have dug up a large treasure in his backyard and moved to the city.

It just so happened that no outsiders had moved in the village for a long time, so Sean lived.

If Sean can solve the food problem, he will have no problem even if he lives in the village permanently.

However, there is no way to give the land to Sean.

Looking at Tommy's honest smile, Sean also understood that the villager who had made a fortune probably no longer existed.

"Malte?"

In the envelope that Haile Caesar handed him was a letter with Marte's name on it, placed at the top of all envelopes.

Hale Caesar had known that when Sean left the path she had pointed out, he would reach the city ruled by Malte.

Is this a benefit, or is it a bad taste for Haile Caesar?

"If it's so close, I'll send it myself!! Even if you ask Frankenstein to deliver this letter, you can leave during the day and come back at night. ”

No matter how much Sean complains, in fact, he has become Hale Caesar's full-time messenger.

The white envelope, with Marte's name outlined in delicate text, is covered with fire lacquer, and on it is a unique motif of Haile Caesar, a crow with a long hooked beak.

"Forget it, let's sleep first, and I'll go see the city lord tomorrow."

Put your backpack under your head, and the old house can only be used as a temporary residence, and tomorrow you will say goodbye to Tommy, and you will go to the city.

Perhaps, the question of what a gentleman's troubadour was to Tommy Copp, would have to wait until his next return.

"Well, presumably that guy can't get up after a hard night's work, I'd better go to bed early and leave early."

Sideways, a lonely night, there is no legendary pillow that can make people elaborate, lonely people, if you ignore the various tones and sounds outside the house, can still sleep well.

The sound of humming and humming is endless.

Perhaps someone cut off the source of sound in order to get Sean a good night's sleep.

Ahhh

It wasn't until dawn that Sean woke up and understood what had happened.

Probably because the murderer knew that the owner of this house had left the village, except for this old house, the other houses were stained with blood and gradually blackened.

Whether it's the boys and girls who were shy about their first experience last night, or the villagers who were drinking with Sean, there are only their heads on the ground, but their bodies are gone.

An inexplicable massacre befell this celebration, looking at Tommy's head, and not blinking his eyes? Perhaps.

"I hope in another world, you can understand what a gentleman is, what a troubadour is."

Packing up his things, Sean sighed, life still has to go on.

The silent slaughter unfolded around him, but he slept soundly all night.

The wordless annoyance, both about what happened in the village, is also an aspect of the decline in vigilance towards oneself.

Drinking and making mistakes, or, in a peaceful atmosphere, I also relaxed my tense nerves.

The village was littered with paw prints and the footprints of wild beasts, and Shaun could imagine the tragic atmosphere of last night, which was also the day when the villagers were celebrating the harvest festival and the able-bodied men were drinking too much to indulge their inner ambitions.

A group of beasts of the race came to the village and got enough food, and that's what Sean came to the conclusion of.

"Feeding the belly of a hungry wolf, is that what it is?"

Without thinking about whether to avenge Tommy and the others, in the forest, without the help of the Book of Rubick, Sean would not be able to find the murderer of the tragedy in a short period of time unless he burned the entire Elwinter Forest.

Natural disasters are more than that.

In order to comfort himself, Sean also cheered up and reminded himself again and again that this world is not safe.

Towards Malte's city, the distance from the village is not too far, and Sean estimates that it will only take half a day to arrive.

Along the road, Sean's heart was very heavy, but he had to put an end to this fact.

"A passing traveler? Adventurer? ”

"Yes, there is an adventurer below, and only an adventurer wanders around, but there is not much value on him."
