Chapter 36: The Girl's Secret
"The icy water on the snowy mountain tops, the newborn oak leaves after a storm, the feathers of black seagulls, the powder of red pearls...... Well, there are also sun-dried green caterpillars and barnacle powder, just a moderate amount. ”
There are only some ingredients in it that Buck whitens his teeth, and some of the things that Andy needs, these are all ordinary alchemy materials.
The old man's eyes were more interested, and he nodded, and pulled these things out of the cabinet below.
"What more, little one?"
"If there's a crystal ball the size of a pearl, I'll need a few too. ”
Andy thought for a moment and thought that maybe he would use a crystal ball because he loved collecting interesting souls.
"Pearl-sized?"
The old man thought about it, and went back to the inner room to look for it.
In the end, everything was put into a small bag by the old alchemist and handed to Andy, who gave him five gold coins.
The gold coins, which are enough for ordinary people to live for a long time, were exchanged for such a small bag.
For the first time, Andy felt how hard it was to be a wizard, and this time he only bought a few small things that he couldn't afford to be truly valuable.
"You'll need to get a lot of gold. ”
Andy walked out of the shop, sighed softly, and walked towards the market center.
The old alchemist smiled when Andy went out, picked up the crow, and muttered, "This little guy should be very suitable to inherit my alchemy, maybe he should go and meet our old friend Pixar......"
The market was very chaotic and dirty, fresh or dead sea fish, full of garbage, stray cats and dogs running around, excrement in the corners, all kinds of smells mixed together, which made Andy, who had recently become accustomed to the sea breeze, very uncomfortable.
The bazaar is a place where the poor and the lower people gather in a town, and the nobles disdain it, and perhaps they will cover their noses with clean handkerchiefs and make a look of disgust when they mention it, and this is a paradise for the inferior, a place for the inferior.
There was nothing Andy needed here, and Andy couldn't stay here, so quickly walking out of the street, Andy unexpectedly saw the black-robed girl.
The wide black robe covered the girl tightly, and from a distance it looked as if something was wrapped in a large black cloth.
Many people around showed curious looks, but in this mixed place, no one dared to test, I heard that the situation is a little wrong now, the two strongest pirate ships in the Storm Sea are listening outside, even people who are usually used to walking in the dark do not dare to do anything at this point in time.
Andy followed unhurriedly, but saw the girl turn left and right and dodge into a warehouse, Andy looked along the place where the girl got in, and found that this was a place to store hay, and there was still a faint smell of hay in it.
Andy is familiar with this kind of place, there are many merchants in the harbor town, and most of them use horses to transport goods back and forth, so they need to store a lot of hay here, plus the cows raised on the farm, the demand for hay in the port town is generally high.
Andy was familiar with this place because when he was in Port Louis, he also liked to go into other people's warehouses, lie on the soft hay, and sleep beautifully, so that Anna looked for him for a long time.
Another time, Andy almost had something happen to a prostitute in such a place, but it was stopped by the sudden arrival of Anna, who was holding Starfall.
From then on, Anna kept a close eye on him, and warned all the women in Port Tulouis to stay away from Andy.
The place where the black-robed girl got into was a loose wooden board in the corner, and as long as the wooden board was removed, anyone with a thinner body could get into it.
Andy wanted to see what this guy was going to do, so he quietly removed the plank and got into it without a sound.
Hidden behind a pile of hay, Andy silently watched the girl.
The girl seemed to be resting, leaning against a pile of hay, gasping softly, and taking off the huge hood of the black robe.
Blonde hair, beautiful face, turquoise eyes.
It was completely different from Andy's previous expectations, Andy originally thought that there would be a freckled girl under the black robe, but he didn't want to be such a beautiful aristocratic girl.
The girl was none other than Margaret, and she leaned quietly against the haystack, her eyes closed, as if she were about to fall asleep.
"Could it be that you came in and went to sleep?"
Andy was a little speechless, sleeping in the hay house with a shape-shifting potion bought from an alchemist.
Andy waited patiently, and sure enough, it didn't take long for the sound of chains being shaken outside.
Margaret snapped her eyes open, but instead of hiding as Andy had expected, she stood up.
The wooden door was pushed open, and a chestnut-haired girl dressed as a maid walked in, and when she saw Margaret here, she breathed a sigh of relief and gently closed the wooden door.
It was the little maid Nicole who came in.
"Miss, got it?"
Nicole had already seen the potion in Margaret's hand, but still asked.
"yes, it's not easy, I really don't know why that old guy opened his shop in such a messy place!"
Margaret grumbled, looking at Nicole with an inexplicable smile.
"Nice, remember what I said, if Brigadier Norrington agrees to the marriage, you must seduce him and you...... If he doesn't agree to the engagement, that's just right. ”
Nicole's face turned red, opened her mouth, and said timidly, "But Miss, when the time comes, all the nobles will know that Lord Norrington is engaged to you, even if I am with him...... There's no way I'm going to replace you, and he's going to kill me. ”
"Don't worry, as long as you are with him, Norrington will not let you be bullied. ”
Margaret said firmly, "Brigadier General Norrington is a very respectful and upright person, once you have a relationship, he will definitely be responsible, I don't have to marry him." ”
Andy listened to a lot of things from the two girls, but he understood a little.
The noble lady's father wanted to marry her to Commodore Norrington, but the young lady did not want to marry him, but wanted to be a navy alone, and her little maid Nicole liked Norrington, so she planned to make Nicole drink the potion and become her own.
If Norrington agrees to the marriage, let Nicole take the opportunity to have a relationship with Norrington, so that the noble lady and his marriage will naturally be done, and if Norrington does not agree to the marriage, then it is just right, everyone has their own way.
To put it bluntly, the aristocratic lady doesn't want to get married, so she finds a maid to replace her.
"It's interesting, I didn't expect this kind of thing, but this girl is too simple. ”
Andy sorted out the relationship and smiled lightly, the rebellious girl is really unprovoked, it is too natural.
Margaret finally persuaded Nicole, and Nicole, in order to repay the favor, even made the idea that even if Norrington was not responsible for her in the end, she would give him herself.
"So, Nicole, take it off!"
"Take off?" Nicole was stunned, "Take off what?"
"Take off your clothes!" Margaret took off her black robe, revealing the lady's outfit inside, "Let's two change our clothes, and then drink the potion, and then you will be Miss Margaret!"
