Chapter 804: Paladin, this store does not entertain troublemakers (24)
Before leaving for Fort Frecy, Qian Qian went to town, where she made an iron cuirass for Safin at the town's blacksmith shop. Safin was not satisfied with the uncomfortable breastplate, but it knew that Qian Qian was worried that it would be injured during the journey, so he obediently put the cuirass on.
"I'm sorry!" Qian Qian tiptoed and reached out and patted Safin's huge beak: "When I'm done, I'll take you to the elf's territory, and someone will definitely be willing to sell us armor grass, with armor grass, I will weave you a set of light and strong armor." β
Safin let out a low sigh of understanding, and arched Qian Qian with his huge head, the days are still long, everything will be fine, won't it? When his friend defeats the old witch who wants to eat her meat, it won't need to wear armor! Maybe when the time comes, it can take Lily back to Mount Ogas to have a look!
Soon after Qian Qian's fifteenth year old, she set off with Safin, with a clear destination, and went straight to Fort Frecy. The main system of the mission location has a hint, and 7788 has planned a sparsely populated flight path for her, although it is somewhat detoured.
Although the location of this singing task is very clear, the time is uncertain, so Qian Qian still followed the old rules and went to wait near the Duchess cemetery of Fort Frecy early. She didn't know how long she needed to stay in Fort Frecy, so she brought a lot of luggage and stuffed the glove box she had inherited from Ivan to the brim.
After half a month of hard work, Qian Qian and Safin finally arrived at Fort Frecy, and she and 7788 studied the map of the Dukedom of Frecy for a long time, and finally chose to let Safin land on the hill closest to the castle. Because Safin was so attention-grabbing, Qian Qian was afraid of arousing the suspicion of the guards, so she decided to go into the city alone and leave Safin in the mountains.
Safin was not satisfied with her decision, but remained obedient and stayed on the mountain. Qian Qian put on the gray coarse cloth hood he bought in Oak Town, carried a basket, and walked alone along the mountain road in the direction of the castle.
The powerful Duke of Frecy was indeed very pompous, the guards at the gate of the city looked brightly armored, and two magicians in red robes stood on the high city wall and looked out at the stone path outside the city.
As soon as Qian Qian saw these two magicians, he immediately gave up his attempt to disguise. The simple potion she made couldn't hide from the eyes of her peers. She lowered her head and tugged at her hood, covering her face even tighter.
As she expected, when she approached the city gate, before the guards could ask her, a magician had already descended from the city wall and walked directly to her.
"Where are you going, little one?" The chubby magician smiled kindly, and Qian Qian could see through the lower edge of the hood that the neckline and chest of his robe were decorated with patterns representing the identity of the great magician, this is a guy with good strength!
"Hello, dear sir, I'm going to the tavern, can you please show me the way?" Qian Qian didn't look up, but answered the magician's question in a respectful tone.
"Oh? Want to earn some pocket money? The magician nodded, and continued. He didn't force Qian Qian to raise his head, because there were too many magicians with quirks, and it wasn't strange that this little guy was wearing a hood.
"It's not." Qian Qian replied honestly: "I just finished my apprenticeship, and the teacher asked me to go out for a walk, but my strength is average, so I want to hire a ranger in the tavern to accompany me." I wanted to take a closer look and find the right person, so I planned to stay in town for a few more days. β
"I see." The fat magician nodded, pointed to the wide streets in the city, and said, "Follow the road all the way, and you will see an inn, which is very good and has a fair price. There are four taverns in town marked with a six-pointed star, and there is one near the inn, which is easy to see. β
"Thank you, sir!" Qian Qian bent down, saluted respectfully to the magician, and then turned around and walked in the direction pointed by the fat magician.
"Money skewers~!" 7788 shook his head and stretched his voice, reporting like a song: "Someone is following you, following you~!" β
"Yes." Qian Qian continued to walk forward without squinting: "I'll go to the inn he pointed out, and go directly to the tavern later, this is probably a routine surveillance, after all, there is a sharp-eyed magician in the city, and it is indeed worth paying attention to." β
As Qian Qian expected, after she honestly followed the instructions of the city keeper to stay in the inn and began to go in and out of the tavern in the city, the people who watched her disappeared.
"Maybe they think you're too weak to be worth paying attention to." 7788 summed it up this way: "Because even the rangers in the tavern look down on you and don't want to go out on adventures with you." β
"Maybe." Qian Qian shrugged: "Many gifted magicians are taken out by the teacher at the age of twelve or thirteen to take out adventures and gain knowledge, like me, most of them come alone, and most of them have no prospects, and they have no background, and the teacher thinks that it is not worth spending effort to pay attention to the apprentices they cultivate, you know, some magicians will take more than one apprentice." But the strength of the magician, how can you see it from the outside! β
"It's good not to pay attention to you," 7788 jumped around happily: "We can go to the Duchess's grave tomorrow!" β
"That's right!" Qian Qian also smiled.
The good news is that it didn't take much effort for Qian Qian to know where the Duchess's grave was. The innkeeper was very eager to share, and on the first day Qian Qian arrived in the city, she couldn't wait to share the gossip of the Duke's family with Qian Qian, including rumors of demonic blood, including the missing Prince Christian.
I have to say that the people's brain replenishment ability is really strong, and the bizarre story that Qian Qian heard from the innkeeper's mouth is 10,000 times more wonderful and twisty than the poem in her hand, but unfortunately it is fake.
But she didn't care too much if the story was true or not, she just pretended to agree at the most appropriate opportunity, and added at the right time: "Oh, that's it!" The Duke was so tolerant that he even set up a tomb for the Duchess in the family mausoleum. β
"That's just a faΓ§ade!" The innkeeper said with a look of contempt: "And even if it is a disguise, it is impossible for that kind of woman to share the family mausoleum with the Duke, how could the king allow such a thing to happen." But you were right, the Duke was really forgiving, and he had finally made a grave for the woman outside, near the village to the west, behind a chapel, in a very desolate place, where no one usually went. But if I want to say, that's pretty good! If it is really placed in the family mausoleum, it will be called humiliation! β
"Isn't it fake?!" Qian Qian took over the conversation very cooperatively: "Since it is fake, what difference does it make if the duchess's tomb is set up." β
"Of course!" The innkeeper said in an exaggerated tone: "If I say that I should not have made her any grave at all, wouldn't this be tantamount to a constant reminder that the prince has such a lowly mother?" What a pity poor Prince Christian, perhaps he just couldn't bear this insult and left Fort Fresse! Such a beautiful boy, if it weren't for the Demon Bloodborn...... Then we in Fort Frecy will have the most handsome lord in the entire kingdom! β
Qian Qian: ...... So in fact, the boss lady, you are regretting that you can't see the handsome guy, right?!
