Chapter 413: The Old House of the Scythe and the Rose (Page 1/1)

The three male mercenaries immediately went out, without any delay, and each went to prepare for his own mission.

Brienne was the only one in the room, and she walked over to the open wooden window and looked out.

It was already approaching dusk, and the red sun was about to set, and the afterglow sprinkled on her slightly tired face, adding a faint golden light to the surface of her skin, and at the same time covering countless buildings of different heights outside.

Aldolf, the heart of the Empire, did not expect to return here so soon.

Brienne just stared out motionless, standing for two hours at a time.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

A sharp knock on the door woke her from her tumultuous thoughts and back into the real world.

Only then did the mercenary realize that the sky outside the window had turned from bright to dark, and two distinct moons were slowly rising, one white and one green, ready to split the dark sky in two.

The night has fallen, but the noisy city has not stopped for half a minute, the streets are still full of people, people are boiling, especially in the southern district on the other side of the river, many places are just the beginning of the lights, a brightly lit scene.

But none of this had anything to do with her, and she wasn't just admiring the scenery.

Although the city has a special emotion for her, now is not the time for nostalgia and emotion.

The only thing she cared about was what she planned next.

The good news now is that the location of the little bell is finally determined, and there is no need to worry about losing her whereabouts again.

In her free time, Brienne went through all the information and clues so far, intertwined these intricate information, and then peeled back the cocoon, and finally found that things were more complicated than expected.

The eight-yearly Night of a Thousand Laws, the disappearance and appearance of the Little Bell, Egrim who returned to the Academy of Light, and the Broken Wheel who harbored a ghost.

It all seems to be intrinsically connected......

"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! ”

Before she could fall into contemplation again, a more violent sound sounded outside the door, which was no longer a knock, but a thump.

The mercenary rolled her eyes widely, and had to interrupt her train of thought to open the door.

The person standing outside the door was Fitandila, and she was the only one in the entire hotel who dared to do so.

The female knight, who had changed into civilian clothes, still wore her trademark ponytail, but the expression on her face was not as energetic as it looked, and even a little dignified.

She knew that several members of the mercenary group were meeting here in the afternoon, but no one called her.

Along the way, she has long discovered the abnormality of Brienne and the mercenary group, the purpose of their coming to "Aldolphe", in addition to the promotion of the mercenary group, is it really as the former said, just as the former said, just as the princess of a certain country in the north, to communicate with the imperial officials?

Or is this just an excuse?

But none of this was a priority, and she wasn't upset by it, but something else.

"I just ran into Rip and said you haven't been out for dinner, so I'm here to call you, by the way, what's going on with Elizabeth?"

Brienne was stunned and almost forgot about it.

"Eat? Oh yes, to eat, how is Elizabeth doing now. ”

When Fitandila said this, she also felt her stomach growl.

"It's normal now, but we don't have much time, I just asked Toby, he doesn't know where the Crystal Academy is, if you can't help it, then I'm going to take Viscount Mill Havelock's letter of introduction tomorrow and go to the Sigma Sect to find someone to ask, they should know......"

Before the knight could finish speaking, she noticed that Brienne was looking at herself like a fool.

"Looking for a priest from Sigma? Those crazy people hate mages the most, and you're still going to ask them? I won't give you a good look, don't make a mess, you go back now, clean up with Elizabeth, and wait for me to eat something, I have something to say to you two." ”

………

To the west of the northern district of "Aldolf", a large area belongs to the Old Town.

It used to be glorious and prosperous, but as the city expanded again and again, the core gradually shifted to the south of the riverbank, and now all the important buildings are in the south side, and it has also rapidly decayed, becoming a gathering place for ordinary people and even the poor.

An ordinary-looking horse-drawn carriage departs from the Ruusson district and travels from east to west through Margaret Street, the main thoroughfare of the North Quarter, where the "Aldolf" was the most spacious and lively hundreds of years ago.

When you reach the Old Town, turn around and enter a narrow, dark alley, then turn around the complex neighborhood until you stop in front of a house that glows dimly.

It was an old house that looked very old, and the surrounding buildings were the same, silent and dilapidated, and even if you could see a little candlelight, the whole street seemed to be uninhabited, empty, and especially eerie against the background of the moonlight.

It's in stark contrast to the other neighborhoods you pass along the way, and it's not too late, and even if it's as dilapidated as this one, you'll still see drunken homeless people and crowds of pedestrians on the streets.

Three figures disembarked from the carriage.

"Marceau, wait for us here."

Brienne, who didn't even have time to change her clothes, looked up at the door, where a wooden board hung from the top of the frame, carved with a sickle and roses, and made sure she wasn't in the wrong place, so she turned to the driver.

The young mercenary was obviously much more mature than when he first set off from "Fetenburg", but in the face of the scene in front of him, his immature face was still full of irrepressible nervousness, and his voice was trembling with a hint of trembling.

"Good...... Okay, Miss Brienne. ”

Not to mention him, even Fitandila, who thought he was very bold, was a little flustered after getting out of the car, and quickly held the little hand of the bald girl on the side.

It's like the abode of an old witch or an evil mage, and it feels like ...... Standing in the cemetery is the same.

So Brienne brought them to the necromancer?

After coming out of the "Bamboo Rat Hotel", there was no need for anyone to lead the way, and the mercenary asked Marceau to drive the carriage towards here, which seemed to be very familiar.

Not at all like someone who came to "Aldolf" for the first time.

"Don't be afraid, don't look at the gloomy place, it's definitely one of the safest places in Aldolphe."

casually comforted the obviously frightened young mercenary, Brienne didn't explain much, and knocked on the door very calmly.

It wasn't long before the door was opened, and to Fitandila's surprise, it was not an old mage who exuded a rotten aura, nor a scruffy old witch, but a pale-skinned, emaciated, but handsome young man.

He was dressed in a well-fitting black gown and top hat, and he also held a thick hardcover book in his hand, which he appeared to be reading.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, the shop is closed, who are you looking for?"

The young man's voice was very flat, and his intonation barely fluctuated, like a nobleman who had undergone strict etiquette training, and so did the temperament that emanated from him.

Brienne didn't intend to ramble with him, and dragged Elizabeth, who was standing in the shadows, in front of her.

When the young man saw her, he was stunned for a moment, and his unwavering face quickly showed an incredible expression, just like a devout believer who saw a god who had believed in her for many years appear in front of him.

Only then did Brienne say slowly:

"We're not here to buy something, we're not here to find anyone, we're going to the Crystal Academy."
