Chapter 137: The Duke's Daughter
The haggard lady of the city lord smiled bitterly.
"I don't know you."
Liu Ci also smiled, "Well, I don't know you either." But if you can convince me, I can consider saving you. Don't say you don't want to live anymore, people who don't want to live won't spit out the potion mixed with the maze herb liquid. ”
"My father is Grand Duke Soor, is that enough?"
The elbow of the city lord's wife holding the bed was weak, she was trapped in the city lord's mansion, and her cronies around her had been transferred out one after another over the years, and the dual identity of the duke's daughter and the magician could actually fall to such a point, her face was trampled under her feet, and now she was not afraid of being embarrassed in front of Liu Ci.
True aristocrats are not afraid of death, but a meaningful death is not a death that lies in bed and is allowed to be weakened by medicines, a little weak, and without dignity.
"Archduke Soorr? Haven't heard of it. ”
Liu Ci wanted to yawn, the city lord's wife looked grief-stricken Is it swelling, could it be that Grand Duke Sool is very famous? The duke is a fifth-class title below the king, and the duke is indeed the top nobleman. Listening to the tone, Grand Duke Sool seems to be very bullish, but he has a poor pig-brained daughter and makes himself miserable.
The duke's fiefdom was a private principality, with an army, taxes, and even independent laws, and in addition to supporting the empire in foreign wars and defending the empire's territory, the duchy was like a small independent state embedded in the vast territory of the empire.
The dukes who are not strong are all loyal subordinates of His Majesty the King, and there are many dukes who are strong and do not give His Majesty face to the King. What kind of Liu Ci is Grand Duke Sool didn't dare to be interested, she thought quite insidiously, as long as the city lord's wife got better, whether she wanted to continue to play a loving husband and wife with the city lord, or fight in the ring with a negative man, it would be a good thing for her.
"Well, your reason struck me."
Liu Ci motioned for the other party to lie down, took a cup from the table next to the bed, took a cup of rootless water with a water gathering charm, and lit a rejuvenation charm in front of the city lord's wife.
Liu Ci's fingers trembled, the rune paper spontaneously combusted, and the talisman ashed in the cup without a trace, but the mouth of the glass was covered with a faint green light.
"Drink it."
Liu Ci handed her the cup, probably because it had been a long time on the sickbed, and there was no worse result than the current situation, and the city lord's wife did not hesitate to drink the talisman water handed to her by Liu Ci.
There is no imaginary bitter gray taste, and the runic water has a faint fragrance of plants and trees.
It was originally to use the wood aura to restore the human body, and by the power of the laws of the other world, a moment after the city lord's wife drank it, a stream of pure magic wood elements rose in the limbs of the body, and their flowing veins were scurrying everywhere in the bones, like the most gentle touch of a lover, slowly repairing her badly damaged body.
A quarter of an hour later, in Liu Ci's eyes, the qi and blood in the city lord's wife returned to the state before the illness.
The other party's haggard face even flushed, and the blue under his eyes became much lighter. With two more rejuvenation talismans, the qi and blood in her body can be the same as that of a normal person.
But the poison of the maze grass is still not solved.
After lying on the bed for a while, the city lord's wife was able to sit up from the bed.
"Is it a scroll? Very useful. ”
The continuous gushing strength can be most intuitively experienced by the city lord's wife who has taken the rune water. As the daughter of the duke, she has actually seen a lot of good things, although the effect of Liu Ci's "rejuvenation talisman" is outstanding, the treatment of the priest of light will not be worse than this.
But if the potion she was taking was mixed with Misty Grass, would the priest of light who treated her know nothing?
The lord's wife could not trust the priest, nor could she trust her husband. The only thing she can catch seems to be the mysterious girl with a sword in front of her who saved her?
"You're a swordsman?"
With spirit, the temperament of the city lord's wife to speak with people is already completely different. Now like this, Liu Ci really believes that she is the daughter of the duke.
Liu Ci really wanted to say that she was the only "female talisman" in the Magic Continent, but in the world of magic and swords, the talisman was a proper heretic, and in the face of the misunderstanding of the city lord's wife, she could only acquiesce.
"You've seen the results of the treatment, it's time to pay for the consultation, right? Or do you need me to find you an antidote to the maze weed? ”
"No, I don't. I am very grateful for your help in my dying life. Within my power, you have something you need help with, just say. ”
Of course, Liu Ci will not work in vain.
Simply explained that Si Si Xian's accident, Stuart was imprisoned, and what she wanted to achieve, Liu Ci quietly looked at the city lord's wife.
The wife of the city lord, who came from an aristocratic family, was also very decisive.
"You can go to Adjutant Burbit, who will not only solve your friend's problems, but also ensure justice in the case."
Liu Ci shrugged, "Several adjutants have avoided it, maybe the city lord has already greeted him in advance." ”
The city lord's wife smiled, "Of course you won't see him, he is from the Sool family. ”
Liu Ci couldn't understand the so-called "loyalty" of the aristocratic family, anyway, the city lord's wife was full of confidence and took out the dusty letter paper from the drawer. The ink-stained quill slid quickly, and the city lord's wife finished writing Liu Ci's request, and when the letter paper was dry, it was sealed in a milky white letter.
Then the lady of the city lord sealed the envelope with red lacquer and solemnly stamped her personal seal.
Liu Ci barely recognized that it was a big bird with a blazing light, anyway, it would not be the legendary phoenix of China, there are thousands of demonic beasts in the Moloch Mountains, who knows what the Sool family believes in.
"I'll bring the potion again tomorrow night."
Taking the envelope, Liu Ci pushed open the window and jumped down.
The staggered edge of the window was where she landed, and it was much easier to jump off than to climb up. The city lord's wife was startled by Liu Ci's abrupt action, and followed her to the window to watch, only to see Liu Ci's back disappear among the tall oak branches and leaves around the castle.
I don't know which family trained the swordsman, at a young age, his strength is already good.
Fresh air wandered by the window, and she breathed greedily.
The weakness of her breathlessness was gone, and she was a healthy person, except that she couldn't use magic.
It's been about two years since you had a good night view of Amster City, right?
She only looked at it for a moment, then took the initiative to close the window.
The body is no longer weak for the time being, and it is only the first step. In Amst, far away from the Duchy of Soal, how can a city lord's wife who is under semi-house arrest save herself?
She was not only the lady of the lord of the city of Amster, but also the daughter of the Grand Duke of Soal......
…………
The sky will be slightly brighter.
Liu Ci took advantage of the last twilight in the sky to sneak into the mansion of Adjutant Burbit.
This adjutant, who is also a small nobleman, is in his fifties this year, and is in charge of criminal law in the city. He doesn't care who you were before you came to Emster, and if you come to the city and break the law, you won't end well if you bump into him.
For example, in the East Side Prison where Stull was held, more than half of the criminals mentioned the name of the Burbee adjutant and wanted to bite him to death, because these people were tried and taken in by the Burbit adjutant.
The reason why Emster City, the free capital of faith, is not rampant with crime has nothing to do with the adjutant's crackdown on criminals. It is said that even the lord of the city has a lot of opinions about him, and if it weren't for the adjutant Burbitch acting fairly and not being caught by the city lord, he would have been unable to stay in his position for a long time.
Liu Ci also beat his idea at the beginning, but the news given by Mrs. Betty that Burbitch was high-profile but low-key, and there was no gap to drill. Unlike the lord of the city, surrounded by mistresses, there are loopholes everywhere.
Liu Ci thought as he tried to identify the location of the room.
The maids in Burbit's house had gotten up to prepare breakfast.
A middle-aged man in his fifties who seemed to be in good spirits was doing official business in his study. He hadn't changed out of his morning dressing gown, his expression was serious, and his brows were tightly furrowed into the word "Chuan". Although his face is well maintained, if you look closely, you can still see the silver strands that occasionally run out of the short brown hair, which shows that his location is a very laborious job.
However, to Liu Ci's surprise, he turned out to be an ordinary person who didn't practice fighting qi and didn't know magic.
Burbitch seemed to have found something difficult while reading the official documents, and got up and went to the bookshelf to look for information.
Liu Ci, who had been secretly observing him for a long time, took the opportunity to put the letter on the desk.
When Burbeech returned, he saw the imprinted red lacquered envelope, and his eyes were full of surprise.
The curtain moved with the wind, and Burbit did not immediately open the letter, but drew the long sword under the desk with his backhand.
"Who's there!"
The sword he held in his hand was relatively close to the Western sword of the earth, and the bladeless blade relied on the long, sharp tip of the sword to hurt people. Liu Ci took out a corn kernel from the space, flicked it with his hand, and the corn kernel hit the sword, and the long sword in Burbit's hand came out of his hand.
"It's rude to treat the Courier like that."
The posture of holding the sword is good, but Adjutant Burbitch is indeed a showman with no fighting spirit, and Liu Ci has no worries.
"Who told you to deliver the letter?"
Burbeech recognized the stamp on the envelope, but did not believe it was real.
Facts speak louder than words, and Liu Ci didn't bother to defend himself, and motioned for him to open it himself.
Burbeech opened the letter with suspicion, and the handwriting and seal could be faked, but the code words of the connection between the members of the Sohor family could not. Reading the long-lost letter, Burbitch burst into tears and snot, which frightened Liu Ci.
When the adjutant of the criminal title slowly calmed down, he did not hesitate to express his gratitude to Liu Ci.
"I will investigate the poisoning case of Sijixian, as for your friend who is locked up in Dongcheng Prison...... If you can afford the gold, you might as well vouch for him as soon as possible, and trust me, it's not a good place. ”
Liu Ci nodded, "I'll go to the City Lord's Mansion again tonight, and if you have a reply, I can pass it on." ”
Since Burbitch really wants to take care of the affairs of the four seasons, he is not afraid of troublesome Liu Ci. He also wrote a reply quickly and handed it over to Liu Ci.
By the time Liu Ci came out of Burbit's house, the day of Amster's hustle and bustle had begun.
Herders lead herds of cattle past her, leaving fresh livestock manure on the streets. Along with this dung is the most chewy smell of toast in the city of Amster.
Smelling the food, after running around all night, Liu Ci was really hungry.
She now wants to go back to the hotel, take a bath, eat a good breakfast, and sleep until she wakes up naturally.
But Burbit's reminder is still in my ears, and poor Stull Garland, who has been in Eastside Prison for three days and two nights, does not know what is going on now.
