Chapter 323: The Tale of Brittany The Girl's Promise
"Whew, it's so comfortable. Dad, Ellie seems to be flying~"
The girl sat on her father's shoulder, swaying her two white calves, and excitedly pointed to the land that was faintly appearing in front of her. After nearly ten days of arduous sailing, Cynroth and his party finally reached their destination.
Rennes of Brittany.
Rennes, as the quintessence of Britannia, is naturally far more prosperous than Dublin and Desmond. Under the painstaking management of Governor Allen, Wren is certainly not as good as the imperial capital with a permanent population of one million, but the population of hundreds of thousands still makes it above most cities in the empire.
Even though it was nearly evening when Cynroth and the others arrived in Rennes, there were still white sailboats coming from afar above the harbor. As soon as a ship approached, someone would come up to pick it up, and everything seemed to be in order. Each ship has turned into a small point of light, contributing its own light to Rennes, the pearl of Brittany.
It's busy, but it's very orderly.
Everyone knew that there was bound to be a war between Britannia and Norman, and the number of caravans at this time was obviously much lower than before. It's just that even so, there is still such a scene, and I don't know what it will be like here in the past.
"Wren, it's been a long time, and it's still so beautiful here, if Dublin one day...... What do you think, Sinloth? ”
The Count said goodbye to him secretly.
Hundreds of thousands of people in a port city, what can it be? The people of the empire are still rotten, and he has never been to any of the big cities of the rabbit country with tens of millions of people, and they are higher than Rennes.
"But that's it."
"Oh?"
As if not expecting Cynroth to say such a thing, Madame Butterfly tilted her head and looked at the young man in front of her with interest. The prosperity of Wren is undoubted, throughout the empire. In addition to the capitals of other satraps, Venice and a few other cities can rival it. Sinloth is not a man who likes to talk about it. What is it that prompts him to say such things?
Cynroth wanted to suck his mouth to death. Always tell the truth. However, in the face of his wife's curious gaze, he replied, "One day, Desmond will surpass Wren." ”
"Oh, I hope so."
The young Count turned his back to the slowly setting sun and made a confident declaration. Madame Butterfly looked at the high-spirited young man in front of her, her eyes sparkling.
……
"Daddy, where are we going now?"
Ellie stood on the dock holding her father's hand, her curious little head spinning around. Looking around, the father and daughter were followed by a loyal butler and a murderous elite soldier. However, due to the mobilization order of His Excellency the Governor, the docks were full of heavily armed people at this time, so Sinlos and his party were not conspicuous.
Sinloth looked at the notes in front of him, thinking about the next itinerary, and answered his daughter at the same time. Madame Rosa came with an army, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she naturally wanted to live in the barracks, although she was also a vassal of Britannia. But among the vassals, there will inevitably be contradictions. If there is no Shangguan bullet pressure, it is easy to have problems.
Sinloth as a vassal of the Demon of the Law. It is impossible to cheekily squeeze into the barracks in Britannia. The two got off the ship, agreed to meet again tomorrow, and then disposed of them at the docks.
"Let's find a place to rest first, and then, if we're lucky, we'll be able to visit Governor Allen tomorrow...... Well, these nobles are going to pay a visit, too. Ellie will be well-behaved then, but don't be too nervous, just like when she usually practiced. ”
Now that you have come to someone's land, it is natural to say goodbye to the dock. The visit of the visit. The bribery of the bribe. Anyway, for a certain count, something gradually became popular among the nobility. Expensive utensils with beautiful patterns are no different from the dirt on the ground.
"Hmm!"
Ellie nodded. Obediently responded. This time, only she and her father came out, and she must not embarrass her father.
Ray's summoning success seems to have given Nanorka a great inspiration. I don't know how she managed to convince Tirpitz to make the ship elves who wanted to stick to him all day long want to stay with her in Desmond. And Assasin, who was devastated, as soon as he knew that Hermint was going to the steppe, immediately followed noisily.
The cat is noisy, vowing to avenge the death of his dried fish.
Desmond was in need of manpower for spring ploughing, and Lady Van Zhuo was pregnant at this time, and the Count thought that it should be no problem to go with Lady Rosa. In this way, Sinloth brought only the housekeeper and his eldest daughter to Rennes.
From the time she came to this world to the present, whether it is good or bad, Elle's various values have always increased. is only the inexplicable popularity, but it is always a pitiful double digit, it's time for everyone to meet Fanzhuo's daughter. And this visit to Rennes is undoubtedly the best opportunity.
"Sir, please come with me. There is a hostel nearby that will surely please you. ”
The butler was always so calm, he bowed and began to lead the way for the father and daughter. Rennes, as the capital of Britannia, had a lot of nobles coming and going on weekdays. And there are naturally not a few hotels that specialize in receiving nobles. As a professional housekeeper, he naturally knows what the father and daughter who have just disembarked need most.
The father and daughter followed in the footsteps of the butler, followed by the sturdy soldiers, and parted the dense crowd of the harbor all the way to the nearest hotel. Although there was a constant flow of people at the dock, the obvious aristocratic dress of the Fanzhuo father and daughter, as well as the fierce-looking and well-equipped soldiers behind them, still made it easy for the father and daughter to separate the crowd and walk outside.
And then, Sinloth felt as if a nimble little hand was gently touching his waist. The Count hurriedly turned around, but saw a petite figure that had disappeared into the crowd.
The Count touched his waist, and sure enough, the money bag hanging there was gone.
"Damn, there's a thief!"
……
"Whew!"
Miss Buwannaba, who was of short stature, clutched the purse she had just stolen in one hand and pressed her large hat in the other, and walked through the streets of Wren with a mournful voice. The girl is dexterous like a cat, always able to dodge obstacles in front of her and escape in the midst of impossibility.
But this time she seems to have hit a hard stubble. The previous flow of people does not make the other party lose their determination to track. And the other party seems to be equally familiar with the terrain of Rennes, no matter how she changes routes, she can never get rid of them. The weakness of the girl's physical weakness also showed up at this time. Gradually, Miss Buwannaba's breath became more and more severe. She felt as if her lungs were about to burn, and the world in front of her was filled with golden stars.
Buwannaba has no strength!
And those fierce pursuers are already close at hand. Miss Buwannaba, who was in a hurry, did not pay attention to her feet for a moment, and fell to the ground hard. And the money bag in his hand also flew out far away.
"Whew, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts......"
The result of a small mistake was catastrophic, just as Miss Buwannaba screamed and tried to get up. The troublesome owner had already surrounded Miss Buwannaba with his men.
Looking at the distorted aristocratic owner, Buwannaba clasped his tricorne hat with both hands, and squatted on the ground with a sad voice: "Don't cut off Buwanaba's hand, Buwanaba is afraid of hurt......"
The girl's face was covered with smudges, and her tears brought out a few deep traces. Sinloth took the money bag he had picked up and raised an eyebrow.
……
Hateful people have their own pitiness, and so does the girl in front of them.
According to the mournful girl. Her name was Buwanaba, and she was a down-and-out aristocrat from Corsica. The girl who was in the middle of the family originally planned to go to Paris to join her relatives, but accidentally got lost. Came to Rennes in Britannia. To make matters worse, the little money she had left on her had run out.
The girl had no choice but to make this decision, hoping to make up the money for the trip to Paris. Before that, she hadn't eaten for a few days. The nobles were all protected by knights, and she had no chance to make a move. I finally met someone who didn't have a knight around, but I was able to follow him all the way.
It's just that Sinloth expressed 120,000 doubts about her words.
What kind of intelligence could have made her all the way from Corsica, Italy. Wren, who got lost all the way to Britannia, did this woman directly cross the entire demon!
Sinloth's brow twitched, feeling like his intelligence had been fooled. But based on an evil trait. Looking at the girl with pear blossoms and rain in front of him, Sinlos still stopped the movements of his subordinates, who were eager to behave in front of the lord and captain. At this time, he had already drawn his short sword and was about to slash.
"Your Excellency?"
The captain of the soldiers withdrew his dagger, but still looked at his lord suspiciously. If you dare to steal the nobleman's wallet, you must be ready to have your right hand cut off at any time. Reasonably, there was nothing wrong with the Captain of the Soldiers' actions. If you don't establish your authority, your subordinates won't be so obedient.
"It's a pity to kill it, take it back and train it for two years, and make meat for me."
"I see."
Ellie's golden ponytail jumped cutely, and the captain of the soldiers instantly changed into an expression that all men understand, and he put away his short sword with joy and sincerity, worthy of being the lord of the lord, even if there is a humanoid tyrannosaurus like Mrs. Lady at home, he still dares to elope with Miss Arian Hurd, not to mention, he has just been caught, and he dares to bring a woman to the house openly.
No wonder he is a master, and he can only be a captain. With this open-mindedness and courage alone, he is far behind.
It's just that no matter how convinced the captain of the soldier is, the cute eldest daughter has a frightened expression on her face, as if she knows her father for the first time: "Dad? How can such a thing be done......"
The girl puffed out her face and puffed up her chest, which had nothing, and stood in front of the weeping Miss Buwanaba: "Daddy, no! I'm going to tell Mom! ”
Sinloth couldn't wait to make a fool of himself and hung himself on the wall. But after all, this is outside, and in front of his subordinates. After all, it was the words that came out of his own mouth, and Sinlos decided to say a few words first, and then ...... Find a reason to relent.
"Ellie, she's a thief. The so-called law is precisely to protect everyone. Well, the vast majority of it was to protect the nobility...... So, has she considered the feelings of the person who has been stolen money? If you make a mistake, you must be punished. ”
"This ......"
In Desmond, most of the shops are the lord's own property. And as the eldest lady, naturally there is no reason to let Alie pay. In fact. Ellie doesn't have to spend money at all in Desmond, she can just brush her face. Still, Ellie understood. Money is a very important thing, and stealing things is not good, just like stealing honey candy before going to bed at night. If your mother knows about it, you will be knocked on the head.
What Sinloth said was well-founded, and Ellie couldn't refute it. She could imagine how anxious a traveler would be if her wallet had been stolen. It's just that if she just watched the girl become her father's meat, she would never be able to do it, although she didn't know what the meat in her father's mouth was, but it must be a very terrible punishment. At least it sounds a lot scary than knocking on the head.
"But she's so pitiful......" The girl had no choice but to blink her starry eyes. He prayed to his father, "Dad, she must know that she is wrong, is it okay for you to let her go." ”
And the miserable Miss Buwannabas looked at the Count pitifully.
Something evil began to interfere with the Count's will.
Your daughter has made a small request to you, and as far as you are concerned, you don't really care about the life or death of such a small character. However, I can take this opportunity to educate the lovely Ellie. At the age of ten, it's time to know a little bit about the cruelty of this world......
1. Punishment for mistakes. Stand up to the beating. Ellie, this is what happens if you break the rules casually. As a future aristocrat, you have to understand. You are never alone, behind you is always full of people who are willing to believe in you and follow you. Before you do anything, think carefully about the consequences...... Someone, cut off Buwanaba's hand for me!
2. Ellie, if Buwannabas becomes my meat tool, maybe in a few months, you will have a sister again?
3. Kindness is the prerogative of the strong, worthy of being my daughter. What you want is this bearing. Ellie, you have to remember. If you don't want to be a wretched creature like Buwanaba. Just keep trying! Always be the strongest in this world!
Sinloth silently chose the third option, and he crouched down. While stroking his daughter's soft blonde hair, he said to Buwanaba, who was shrunk into a ball of fright: "Miss Buwanaba, for Ellie's sake, forget it this time...... Please do it yourself. Ellie, remember your choice today. If you don't want to be such a loser......"
Ellie seemed to understand something in a daze, and she nodded heavily. And Buwanaba was even more pardoned, and quickly nodded his little head.
Ellie. Fanzhuo's feelings increased by five points.
Sure enough, it's getting harder and harder to improve.
Since Ellie gave the ladder, Sinlos also went down. Everything that had to be done was done, and just as Sinloth got up and was about to leave, a loud voice came from behind him. The petite girl, who was a little shorter than Ellie, covered her belly and smiled awkwardly.
Looks like this girl is faint from hunger.
Ellie let go of her father's hand and returned to Bwanaba. The blonde girl fumbled in a small pocket in her skirt and pulled out a couple of gold coins and honey candy. Ellie secretly turned her head and saw that although her father's eyebrows kept stirring, he never spoke, and then turned to the surprised Buwannaba and said, "It's not a good boy who steals, Buwannaba will be a good boy in the future......"
Is it that you have given too much pocket money to Ellie lately?
"Hmm!" I didn't expect the other party to be so generous, and tears flashed in Buwanaba's eyes. She nodded heavily and said to Ellie, "Thank you, I promise...... By the way, I don't know your name yet. ”
"Ellie's name is Ellie, Ellie. Van Zhuo, a native of Desmond......"
"Fanzhuo? The family that never stopped...... But I remembered! The girl repeated the name, as if she had made up her mind. She tore off a corner of her clothes, bit her finger, and quickly wrote on it under Ellie's surprised gaze.
"On April 10, Buwanaba borrowed from Ely. Ten gold coins of Fanzhuo...... I will definitely return it in the future! After the girl finished writing the blood book, she seemed to be relieved, she handed the blood book to Ellie, grabbed the gold coins and candy tightly with both hands, and quickly disappeared into the alley of Rennes: "Ellie, I will definitely pay you back in the future!" ”
Ellie looked at the blood book in front of her and looked at her father in confusion. Sinloth tapped her daughter's head, didn't say anything, but took her hand and walked towards the hotel.
"Daddy, that kid...... I ......"
"Ellie, your pocket money will be halved next month."
"Huh?!"
Ellie. Fanzhuo's feelings increased by five points. (To be continued)
ps: Without my wife's surveillance, the second goods can be wasted in an instant...... If you don't know who Buwannaba is, you can read her name a few more times...... Keywords, dwarf, foreigner, Corsica......
