Chapter 35: The Old Housekeeper Who Doesn't Fit Together

When Morley returned with his team and dragged several truckloads of supplies, he immediately noticed that there were some changes in Wule Town compared to when he left.

The most obvious place is that the residents here are busy doing something, no matter who it is, their faces are full of energy, and their eyes are shining with a light that they have not seen before.

You know, since the day Shelley and the others first stepped into the town of Wule, they had never seen any smiles on the faces of the residents here. Everyone was living in the dark, and there was no glimmer of hope in the whole town.

But in the half month since he left, the previous gloomy atmosphere was gone, and the atmosphere of the whole town was completely different, as if it had a little more vitality.

When Morley wanted to stop someone and ask about the situation, he was rejected by the other party on the grounds that he was busy. What can a small town with such a backward situation have? This filled Morley's mind with questions.

"Could it be that the princess did something?"

Thinking of this, Morley made people quicken their pace, and when they returned to the mansion, they were even more frightened by the sight in front of them.

The guards kept coming and going, and no one was busy saying hello to them. Two gardeners operate some inexplicable equipment in the front yard. As for the chefs, they were discussing something in front of a bunch of plants they had never seen before.

At this time, Hans ran out with a bunch of bamboo pieces with information about the residents written on them, and a few guards appeared, and when he saw Morley and his party, he had a smile on his face.

"Butler Morley, you are finally back, Her Royal Highness Princess has been waiting for you in the backyard for a while."

Morley hurriedly stopped Hans, who was about to leave after speaking, and asked, "Hey, wait a minute, what are you all busy with now?" ”

Hans smiled innocently: "There are so many things to do, you, don't ask me, after all, you will have to be busy later, hurry up and see the princess." ”

When Morley arrived in the backyard with the crowd and the van, Shelley was writing something on a stack of freshly made paper.

At her feet lay an unusually strong "black dog", and across from her sat a woman they had never seen before, who was it if not White Smoke.

Morley, who walked up to her, was curious about how the smooth and light paper was made, but it was the reporting that mattered most at the moment. But before he could speak, Bai Yan took the lead and asked, "Hey! Geezer! What about the two children you brought back? ”

Morley looked at White Smoke and then at Shelley in a daze, his face full of questions.

Shelley touched his forehead helplessly and said, "Alas...... Bai Yan, didn't we say okay, I won't ask anything from you, but on the contrary, you can't interfere in my business, you forgot? ”

"Humph! If it's about compatriots, then that's another story. ”

"But if you interfere too much, won't you see what I'm doing?"

Bai Yan couldn't refute it, so he had to sit back in place obediently and pin his head to the side.

Facing the princess, this woman had no respect at all, which made Morley have to be curious about the identity of the other party and asked, "Your Royal Highness the princess, who is this?" ”

"Oh, she's my guest. Don't worry about her, just report what happened in the past this time. ”

Morley nodded, and told Shelley about his trip to Canterlot. First of all, the exchange of currency, there is no problem at all, after deducting the money spent on ransom in the slave market, plus Shelley's jewelry, in the end, a total of eight million copper coins were exchanged, which is really beyond Shelley's expectations, which is a surprise.

Then there was the arrangement for the maids to find the books for themselves, which was a relative pity, and they wandered around Canterlot for several days, and only received two sets of books that met Shelley's requirements.

One set is a single book, received from a descendant of an explorer, and it records the places that the explorers visited, most of which were unknown dangerous areas. Because it was so bizarre, not many people believed in it, not even his own descendants. So much so that the book was collected in just ten copper coins.

The second set has a total of five books, which is expensive, and the other party actually asks for two silver coins each, and the five books together are equivalent to the price of 10,000 copper coins for the other party. The reason why it is so expensive is because the records on it are all information about alien creatures that have been known to humans, and many of them have hand-drawn patterns.

Because the sheepskin was originally thick, when the five books were piled together, they were all as high as Shelley's waist. She flipped through a few pages and smiled with satisfaction. Seeing that she was pleased with the books, the maids were relieved.

At this time, Morley handed over a sheepskin alone: "Your Royal Highness Princess, this is handed over to you by the Duke of Poka." You offered to pay taxes with copper coins every month, and he agreed, but ......"

Seeing that he wanted to stop talking, and his face was embarrassed, Shelley knew that the dead fat man must have something to do again. So he took the sheepskin and looked at it. The more he looked behind, the colder Shelley's eyes became, and he simply sneered at the end.

Because it was exchanged for copper coins, it was originally only necessary to send one person to send thirty gold coins, but instead of sending a group of people to escort three million copper coins.

Because of this, Polkadot actually asked Shelley to pay for the transportation of a mere hundred copper coins. Is he short of that money? Of course it's not bad, it's clearly trying to humiliate her.

If you don't want to pay for the delivery, you can do it, so Shelley has to come to the door to get it himself. According to him, whether he sent someone to deliver the money, or Shelley came to get the money, the money was a tax given to Her Royal Highness the Princess, so it must be taken over by Shelley.

For this kind of lie, even ordinary people can see that it is naked contempt.

Bai Yan laughed mercilessly on the side: "You princess is really a wretch, the lord of a border state doesn't take you seriously, I really don't know how embarrassed you were to boast in front of me before." ”

Although everyone expressed their anger at Bai Yan's unreasonable words, Shelley didn't mind at all. Because at this time, a poisonous hunting net had been woven in her mind, and the prey that this hunting net wanted to catch was the entire family, including the Duke of Poka.

"Hehe, it's good, it's very good. A month later I went with the caravan to Canterlot, and I came to see if he dared to take my money! One-toothed! Tear it up for me. ”

As he spoke, Shelley threw the sheepskin into the air, and raised his right front leg lazily with one tooth, and several wind blades appeared, tearing the sheepskin to the ground more finely than ashes.

Of course, this scene also revealed the identity of Onefang, and everyone, including Morley, retreated in horror.

"Magic ...... Warcraft!? Old Morley was so frightened that his heart began to hurt, "Your Royal Highness Princess, this ...... What the hell is this? ”

"A few days ago I met an injured wind-stepping wolf in the border forest, which was born before he died, and is now being raised by me. Rest assured, it won't hurt. ”

As he spoke, he stroked Onetooth's head with his hand, and its reaction seemed to be very affectionate to Shelley.

But even if Shelley said it wouldn't hurt anyone, how many people in this world weren't afraid of Warcraft? No, there were two or three maids on the spot who fainted in fright. If it weren't for the fact that he had been frightened by Shelley's actions a few times before, Morley would have felt that he might have to confess on the spot.

First the filth, now the Monster, and Morley now decided that no matter what happened in the future, he would have to keep his composure.

"Okay, let's talk about the superpowers, I heard that you ransomed two people? How much did it cost? ”

"Forty-three gold coins were spent, which is not out of your budget. The two were not very old, a teenage girl and an eight-year-old boy. It's a pity that the rest over there is too expensive, except for these two, the cheapest one costs sixty gold coins. ”

Shelley shook his head and said with great satisfaction: "It doesn't matter, it's good to bring back two people." It's also hard for you, and you haven't been exposed along the way, right? ”

Morley naturally knew what she was referring to, and said with a wry smile: "Alas, this really scared us all the way, but fortunately, we all pretended to be very fierce and didn't let them realize that we didn't have the holy stone in our hands. But it did give them some fright. ”

"What did you say!? You don't have a holy stone either? Bai Yan slapped his head and looked at Morley with a shocked expression, "Without the Holy Stone, you dare to take two superhumans?" ”
