Chapter Twenty-Three: Winnie
After more than ten days of journey, the wheels made of fine iron have long been rusted, and the two tall black horses have lost their former steeds and looked a little tired, and finally came to the easternmost part of the Lanchester Empire, near the blue sea, in Morrington.
The young man in a black high-necked shirt lay quietly on the gentle carriage, gently closing the "Mystery of the Ashes" in his hand, and looking at the scenery outside the roller shutter with his green eyes.
The carriages and horses are seamlessly crowded together, and people of various characteristics are densely wandering through the narrow streets, among which there are many luxurious workshops with gold and jade, and the appearance of gold shining in the sun.
With the shouting of the butler, the architectural style of Guralon everywhere is fully reflected in the bustling town of Mornington, with hard cyan bricks neatly inlaid into the streets, one hot shop after another lined up under the towering buildings, and even he felt some guards dressed in regular clothes and exuding a knightly atmosphere, orderly command, guarding the area.
Most of the people who want to rush here are eager to be found out of their extraordinary talents and become mysterious and powerful wizards, Mebis thought.
Soon the carriage stopped outside an inn called the "Bend Inn", and Winnie, who had just jumped out of the car, told the butler to leave. This made Mebis stunned, Winnie gently shook off the gold wire covering her forehead, walked forward quickly, pinched the young man's tender face, and leaned close to him with her heroic cheek,
"The Lanchester royal family has the most talents in the mainland, you and I inherit the so-called 'bloodline', and it is only a matter of time before we have talent."
Mebis's face was ruthlessly played with by the girl, but she thought to herself,
"Eve's bloodline is at least at the wizard level, but why haven't you heard of a royal wizard returning to the Ashen Continent?"
Winnie leaned close to his ear and whispered,
"One of the reasons I became a wizard was to find out why the gifted people sent by the royal family in the past have not been heard from, I suspect..." The boy silently covered Winnie's softness.
"Don't be heard," Mebis hissed as she glanced around.
The two of them quickly walked into the hotel with their own salutes, and the counter was a young woman, and after she saw that the two young men and women were coming, she gently introduced the information of the hotel.
"How's the room for two?" The woman glanced at the handsome Mebes with a shifting gaze,
"Double bar" "single"
Mebis looked at the girl's iceberg-like face in disbelief, and then remembered that after parting with his father, he had no gold coins on him, and was about to refuse, Winnie's eyes flashed with cunning, and ended the disparity struggle with an unquestionable tone, took out a few golden pagodas from the small crocodile pocket, and in the woman's ambiguous smile, led the silent young man straight to the room.
The beige décor is cozy, the walls and ceilings are covered with patterned wallpaper, and the spacious room has everything you need, but there is only a small feather bed.
"I'm going to take a bath first, oh, I'll reward you"
Throwing the small bag containing the money bag to the young man, he hurriedly took out the clothes from the luggage, glanced at the somewhat overwhelmed Mebis, took off his delicate leather boots, and ran quickly to the bathroom.
"Why don't you go out and take a walk?" Mebis saw that there was nothing to do now, the chaotic shouts outside stirred the boy's nature, and Winnie didn't need herself, her image of her cold slaughter on the plain of ink grass, and the horse thief kneeling and begging for mercy was firmly imprinted in the boy's mind, which was also a reason for his "submission". Finally, I sighed where Count Simon's hardships and worries came from.
The streets were filled with aristocrats from other principalities on the mainland, and men and women of all walks of life seemed to be waiting for the arrival of the wizard, hoping that they would be tested for extraordinary talents and become high-ranking figures, which was evident from their high-spirited faces.
The slender, dark-haired, blue-eyed young man quickly toured the various specialty shops to expand his horizons, and soon came to the purpose of his trip, the 'Mornington Seafood Market'.
Fish is an invaluable ingredient in the remote town of Green, far from the ocean. It was the first time for Mebes to see so many strange fresh fish, so she walked to a stall filled with shrimp in bamboo baskets, and gently touched the puffed green shrimp with her slender fingertips to feel the rich texture.
The shrimp seller was a fisherman who had been ravaged by the sun, and Old John looked at the handsome young man in front of him in puzzlement, why did he come to the fish market here, and he still seemed to be very interested in rummaging with his hands?
The fishy, viscous black liquid on the ground did not dampen his curiosity, but the huge black mullets, hideous crustaceans, and blue guinea fish that still beat out of the water aroused his appetite for exploration.
As a chef from another world and a local area, his endless desire to explore ingredients is his innate instinct, and this instinct gradually awakens from the boy's body.
The young man who was still unfinished stretched out his arms, his straight legs were loosened, and the crisp sound of bursting bones came, comfortably skimming off the tiredness after squatting, standing on the shore protected by thick hemp rope, looking at it, the orange-red light shone on the whole world, the sparkling sea was painted with a red light like fish scales, and the sun like a half-round fireball formed a perfect oil painting with the boundless sea.
The sound of the breeze on the sea and the lapping of the sea continued to blow through the young man's black softness, perhaps blowing away the attachment in his heart, and he smiled silently, and the young man's tall black figure gradually disappeared into the street.
Winnie lay gracefully on her side on a comfortable fluffy bed, wearing only a thin gauze dress all over her body, faintly revealing the beauty inside. The slender and smooth thighs swayed gently, and the eyes were slightly squinted, like a lazy little milk cat.
As soon as Mebis closed the wooden door, he saw such a blood-spurting visual shock, he held his breath lightly, as if afraid of waking up the person in his dream, slowly took off his shirt, his back was suddenly warmly embraced, and the two smooth arms were crossed and tightly wrapped around his neck.
The young man's eyes froze, although he knew that this 'cousin' in the blood had always thought about him, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, and his feelings for her were more of that kind of sister and brother-like relatives, rather than...
Winnie Xiangxiang's hair rested on his right shoulder, and the tip of her tongue curled and licked Mebes's earlobe,
"I can't take it anymore"
The body was trying to shake off Winnie, who was holding him tightly, which was like the other party moving faster, reflexively slammed into the popliteal fossa of Mebis's left leg, Mebis, who lost her center of gravity, was turned over and pressed under Winnie, and before he could react, his soft body was close to the naked boy.
In the darkness of the night, he only felt the wet stuff sticking to his mouth, and his soft tongue slammed into his mouth.
In the midst of the chaos, the life force in the body of the outbreak gently shook Winnie, who was crazy, and looked at her with a complicated look with a confused look, not like a girl with a cold face in her usual face.
"Relatives are in chaos?" "No way!"
Mebis said categorically.
No one responded, and cautiously he slowly walked to the bed, looking at Winnie, who was breathing steadily and had fallen asleep, with a strange expression. The young man took out some linen clothes from the salute, spread them thinly on the cold stone slabs, and lay on the rough cloth full of doubts, and did not speak all night.
And far away in Earl's Castle Simon. August looked at the bright moon from afar, and secretly thought,
"The most dangerous thing about that kid is not the ruthless style, but the extreme... Desire."
