Chapter 53: The Smell Likes
Shangri-La, a city on the eastern border of the Kingdom of Pole
To the east of this city is the Elven Forest, which is the only city in the human country that has economic and trade contacts with the Moonrain Republic, the country of the Elves of the Forest, but even so, there are few real Elves in Shangri-La City, because the Elves usually hide in the depths of the Elven Forest, and they will not go out lightly, so generally those who come to Shangri-La from the Moonrain Republic to do business are a human group that lives with the Elven Forest Clan: the Druids
Because of this, the city of Shangri-La is not very large, although the Pole Kingdom had signed a secret agreement with the Moon Rain Republic a hundred years ago, and used the elven port to transfer goods for the Pole Kingdom, and these materials had to be transported through GuòShangri-La, so it gave the city a short period of prosperity, but after the change of regime, the secret covenant was not recognized, although the regime of Duris wanted to continue to extend the validity of the secret covenant with the Elven Elders, but under the strong protest of the remnants of the former dynasty who remained in the forest, the Elder's House finally did not reach an agreement with the envoy of Duris on the matter of the secret treaty
However, although the Secret Covenant was not inherited by the new government of the kingdom, nor was it abolished by the elves, the Druids still often traveled to Shangri-La City, the bridge between the two countries and races, as usual, and the new government of the Pole Kingdom and the Elven Elders' House of the Moon Rain Republic chose to turn a blind eye
On June 10, 1686, a convoy of Gambokians arrived on the outskirts of Shangri-La
I'm so sorry, Miss Sophia, we can only send you and your friends here, the patriarch of the Gamboki, the hunchbacked old man said to Sophia
No, patriarch, don't do this, we should thank you so much, if it weren't for your convoy as a cover, how could we have come here so smoothly, Sophia smiled and said to the patriarch
This is what we should do, and Felegotei, who stood beside the chief, said that Miss Sophia not only saved us whole people in the mountains of Lamer, but also saved the two siblings Tasika and Mayana in the city of Ensogui, and you have done too much to us Gamboki, so when we know that you and your friend are being chased by a mercenary group, it is only natural that we should help Miss Sophia
Yes, my sister and I really don't know what would have happened if it hadn't been for Miss Sophia, Tasika said that he and Mena turned out to be the grandson and granddaughter of the patriarch, so we must help Miss Sophia
Polite words don t need to say too much what are you going to do now sophia asked
Elven Forest, we won't go to this Shangri-La, I think it's good, the people are pure, there are not so many bullies in other places, we plan to stay here for a while, and then the patriarch replied
Well, it's time for us to leave, thank you, goodbye, Sophia, and wave goodbye to the Gamboki
Good bye
......
After saying goodbye to the Gamboki, they walked down the road of Shangri-La
Sophia, the friends you have made are really good, they actually used the manpower of the entire clan to cover us here, and Joeka said with a smile
The Gamboki were all welcoming, and Sophia nodded and said that they could help anyone they saw as friends or guests regardless of the return, and to be honest, if it weren't for the help of the Gamboki, how could they have escaped the tracking of the Lion Mercenary Regiment so easily
Joyka agreed, indeed, in these days mixed with the Gamboki, Joyka did feel the Gamboki's unreserved sincerity towards people, which was really evocative, and formed a huge contrast with the secular society of deceit, swords, and blood, and he was even reluctant to leave those Gamboki people when he was leaving
However, although they were reluctant, they still had to do what they had to do, and although there was a lot of delay on the way, it seemed that Cassius and Ray did not arrive first, so Joyka and Sophia first found a hotel to stay in, and waited for the arrival of the two brothers and the strong Uncle Regunor
Memphik: That's it, you can go back first, Joyka said to the man next to her
What is this and what is it Sure enough, are you going to drive me away, Monfic smiled bitterly
You must know that the journey we are going to take is quite dangerous, and it is not something like you that a noble child should go, Joyka continued
What do you mean by this, Memphik is quite dissatisfied, on the day I left Ensogui, he was no longer a noble son of Viscount Warnock, but an adventurer who embarked on a journey, and you don't want to drive me away
Seeing that Monfic was so resolute, Joyka shook her head and said helplessly: You guy is really difficult
Sophia didn't bother to pay attention to the interaction between the two men, she walked straight to the counter and checked in
After settling into the hotel, Sophia, who was very tired from the way, closed the door of her room and lay down on the bed and fell asleep, while the two men were still very full
Joyka packed up her gear and headed out of the inn, absorbing the experience of his time in the town of Carlo Quire, and instead of leaving his weapon in the tavern, he had a longbow and a longsword with him
Just as Joyka had left the hotel, Monfic gave hot pursuit: Where are you going?
I'm not going to a place like you, a noble boy should go, Joika teased
Please, don't mention the previous identity, whether it was good or not, Memphik said with an unhappy face
At this time, Joika was thinking in his heart, it would be good to take this kid with him, let him touch some nails, and then he might no longer haunt me, and at that moment, Joika squeezed out a sly smile to Monfic: Do you really want to go to those places with me
That's right
You have enough money on you
Probably- enough
Then come with me
Ten minutes later, the two were outside the door of a noisy building
Is this the place you are coming to Memphik blinked and asked Joyka beside him
Yes, I regret it now, I said earlier that this place was not from a noble son like you
Joyka thought that Monfic would retreat after seeing the place he came to, but he didn't expect that this nobleman's second young master actually had his eyes shining, and his expression was quite excited
Okay, I haven't played for a long time, I'm hungry, and I'm not bad today, and Memphik said quite happily, and then left the stunned Joika and rushed into the smoky casino by himself
Seeing that Memphik was quite skillful in picking up gambling equipment and gambling big, and then shouting with those street people who were unruly and unruly, Joyka really fell through the glasses, is this a noble child
In fact, Joyka didn't expect that Monfic was already a famous gambler, but his usual gambling was played with his soldiers, and the average nobleman disdained this kind of thing that was popular at the bottom of the society, but the average civilian soldier would play both, if he counted his mother's background, Monfic was only half a nobleman, he was willing to put down his identity, eat and have fun with the soldiers, and narrowed the relationship between himself and the soldiers - it is precisely in this way that Memphik won the favor and support of the soldiers
Therefore, Memphik not only gambles, but judging from his current behavior, he is simply addicted to gambling
What is even more unexpected for Joyka is that although she and Memphik are both addicted to gambling, Memphik's gambling skills are obviously much better than herself, watching the coins flow into Memphik's pocket in the midst of loud laughter
However, in a certain way, the two of them can be said to complement each other's strengths and weaknesses
Two like-minded gamblers were partying in the largest casino in Shangri-La City, and they didn't know what the tiredness was
I don't know how long it took, the people in this casino couldn't stand it, and the two of them closed early, and the two gamblers were kicked out
Hell, it was already late at night, and Joyka looked at the night on the street and said with emotion, when they entered the casino, it was still in the morning, and the two of them had been crazy in the casino for more than ten hours
It's been a long time since I've tried to have such a good time, and after the adrenaline is gone, I am in the frenzy of gambling, and gradually return to normal, followed by a wave of hunger, but I am a little hungry
I'm also looking to see where there is still food, and Joyka put her hand on Monfic's shoulder, and walked down the street together, after fighting side by side in the casino just now, Joyka is sure that Joyka will not persuade Memphik to leave in the future
The hungry two were boasting to each other about the majesty they had just been blocking the table while looking for a restaurant on the street to feed their stomachs, but it was already early in the morning, and the restaurants were closed, where else could they find food
Suddenly, the two stopped moving
Do you feel it too, Joyka asked
Well, Memphik, who was standing next to him, said that the person who came was not good, and he was very murderous
There are sixteen people in total, and we have eight people each, do you have a problem?
Okay, then we'll compete to see who can solve the eight people first.
