Chapter 415: Boundary
Loria had lived in Stormwind for quite some time, and she remembered the clean streets and blue-tiled buildings of the Southern Kingdom's capital, and the canals that crisscrossed the city; She had also encountered the city of Lordaeron unexpectedly, and at a glance she had a glimpse of its majestic outline...... The towering minaret of Dalaran is the freshest memory, and the Violet Eye, a symbol of wisdom and magic, is carved in every corner of the city. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Each of the three capitals has its own characteristics, and it is difficult for Loria to judge which one is more beautiful, she may choose to live in Stormwind, where she loves the tranquil atmosphere of the canal, and the magnificent Dalaran would be a great place to visit.
She didn't know much about Lordaeron, except that it was very large, and even the vague impression seemed more real than the city in front of her—the convoy was near Steinbrad, and Loria was rightfully looking at Rose's hometown.
The terrain at the junction of hills and mountains rose and fell willfully, and through the car window, she looked up and down at the city, and the most intuitive feeling was that it was gray, and when she got closer, she found that the city was unusually crowded, and that it was not only on the plane, but as the terrain undulated, it looked like an ugly honeycomb with no rules or logic—there were houses above the cave houses carved out of the mountains, and its neighbors appeared abruptly under the low cliffs.
Seeing Loria's curious and confused gaze, Hetty, who was sitting across from her, asked, "You've never been here, have you?" Haven't even read a travelogue? ”
"Travelogue?"
Loria muttered, and she was distracted for a moment before answering Hetty's question, "There are so many of them, and I don't want to look for a few of them...... The rest, in addition to making you pretend that you don't understand yourself, will only make your barren heart seem even more barren. ”
"What are you talking about?"
Hetty noticed that what Loria said was obviously not the same kind of book as she understood it, and after the question was raised, she became unconcerned again, and she leaned slightly towards the window, pointed to the earthy yellow castle at the highest point of the city, and said: "This is the royal palace where the Hillsbrad family has lived for generations, and on the other side of the hill is the territory of Aberdeen......"
There was pride in her hometown, although it seemed to Loria that it was all good...... As if returning to a familiar place, Hetty became a little more lively, and even talked more, and she did not seem to think that there was anything wrong with her, now that she was a duke, acting as a guide for a little girl, dutifully describing every street and every building in her path worthy of her praise and reminiscence.
"I thought you never went out."
"Just put on a cloak and cover your ......," Hetty, who became more and more calm in front of Loria, shook her withered and shrunken arm, "I also have the youth to sneak out at night." ”
"Speaking of which, do you have any specialties here?"
Like all confused travelers, Loria can only discuss the possibility of buying some souvenirs.
Hetty first wanted to praise the excellent agricultural products of the southern hills, but after thinking that the mages of the Republic of Dalaran would probably not be unfamiliar with vegetables and fruits, Hetty introduced some music and paintings that Loria had never heard of, "If you are interested, I can find you some art...... Of course, it is not a masterpiece, but the author is also quite prestigious. ”
The Duchess poked at Miss Loria's weakness at once, and made her understand the beauty of art as hard as it was to make a minotaur wear a sweater, or even harder.
Loria pouted, stopped looking out the window, curled up, and soon her full attention was on the lace of her stocking, not noticing that Hetty was looking at her with scrutinizing eyes.
When the carriage was stuck in a crowded road, Hetty suddenly asked, "You won't be bad for the princess, will you?" ”
Loria came back to her senses with an incredulous expression, she had said that her purpose was to see the princess...... Although she does have the idea of bullying Loka, she has no intention of verifying the paradox of time and space, let alone running to kill her mother for no reason, how can she be unfavorable to Roka?
As if to make sure from Loria's expression that she had no ill intentions, Hetty lowered her head and asked, "You like to read, don't you?" ”
"Approximately, right?"
Loria doesn't know if she likes to read books or not, and most of the time, her only motivation for reading books is to acquire knowledge, and the purpose is very clear...... Although she didn't carry books all the time, at her age and in an era when her literacy rate was always pitiful, she was already a book lover in the eyes of Herty.
"I'll keep my promise......," said Hetty, "the Royal Library may have some spare time, and I'll find a way to get you in." ”
Loria didn't know that the library, though located in the middle of the palace, was quite far from the center...... She finally took her attention off the lace of her socks, thought for a moment, and nodded, counting her approval of Hetty's proposal.
Thinking about something unrelated, they stopped talking, letting the noise outside the car seep in.
By the time the carriage reached the Duke's palace, they were no longer strangely friends.
The Duke doesn't need a close person who has seen his weakness, and the time traveler is also interested in keeping his distance from his distant relatives.
……
A large bounty was made, but everything collapsed after a fantastic feast.
Augustus, who was in the company of soap and plates, still couldn't believe how his small body could be crammed with such a huge amount of food...... He began to suspect that everything was his own delusion, that he must have been wounded in the head by the orc in the forest.
"Don't be lazy!"
The innkeeper, who was on the verge of going out of business because the ingredients had been emptied and he couldn't recover his money, roared behind Augustus, his voice powerful, "You'll never want to go out, never!" ”
How much food did Alice eat, and how much did she have to pay for it with her young life?
Augustus had to speed up his movements, he tried to escape, but was beaten with a spatula by the terrible innkeeper...... If this is a dream, let's end it quickly...... He could only hope that his head was really broken.
However, before he could wash all the dishes, the innkeeper sighed and patted him on the shoulder like a different person, telling him that he could leave.
Augustus became more and more sure that he was crazy.
When he walked out of the inn, he saw the culprit's silver-haired young girl standing with the town's militia captain.
"Your debt is forgiven." The militia captain frowned and said to Augustus: "For the sake of this little girl's intercession, you just need to complete the work I have assigned." ”
In this way, the half-hung warrior was inexplicably given a suicide mission - to explore the location of the possible front post of the orcs alone and destroy it. (To be continued.) )
