Chapter 13: Going to the Academy (Part II)

In the evening, Duncan deliberately hosted a banquet in his carriage to entertain Green.

Fran and Dolan sat obediently on the side.

took out the good wine he had treasured for many years and poured it for Green, Duncan did not slack off because he was Green's elder, and sincerely toasted a glass of wine to Green, "If it weren't for you today, the consequences would be really unimaginable." Fran is my favorite daughter, and I'd rather lose my whole caravan than lose her. ”

"Fatherβ€”" Fran's eyes were a little red.

Green stretched out his hand to lightly block it, "Uncle Duncan, you are too polite, you took care of me along the way, I just did what I was supposed to do." ”

After greeting each other for a while, Green said that it was getting late and that he was going back to rest.

"Green, you must know that Fran is not measurable in my heart by money, and I really don't know how to repay you. In Julu City, I have been in business for many years and have some connections, if you need help, you are always welcome to come to me. ”

Green, who was about to go out, heard Duncan's words and knew that the other party was indeed sincerely thanking him, although he did not covet the other party's return, but Green still nodded seriously and said that he had written it down.

......

"What about the casualties in the convoy?", Fran asked after Green left.

"Three guards were killed, seven were wounded, and the others were fine. I've already made arrangements, and I'll give out the pension one by one when I get back. It's just a pity that Raymond and Sack, both old men who have served in the caravan for many years, are loyal, and they die like this. Duncan sighed and drank the wine from his glass.

"Father, drink less, your health is not good. ”

Fran thoughtfully put away the wine and put it in the cupboard of the carriage.

"What do you think of Green?"

"What's going on? It's good... Eh, father, you're drunk, what nonsense. Fran, who instantly understood the meaning of Duncan's words, blushed and snorted.

"Once I and his mother Winnie planned to marry you, but Winnie died of illness and the matter was over. ”

Duncan recalled the events of that year and couldn't help but sigh.

"How's it going, although Andrew's territory is far away in the countryside, but a rich iron mine has been discovered recently, and Grimm is very skilled, and he must have achieved something in the Knight Academy, but he is also worthy of you. If you agree, I'll put on an old face and say it to Wolf. ”

"I... I... I haven't thought about this yet, so I'll talk about it later. ”

Escaping quickly from the carriage, Fran hid in her tent. Although she does have a good impression of Green, she is used to being free to follow her father in business for many years, and she is not ready to get married.

......

For the next few days, the caravan slowly advanced along its original route, getting closer and closer to Julu City.

After a day's journey, the caravan finally arrived in front of a small town before evening.

"This is Oak Town, the caravan will spend the night here tonight, and it should be able to reach Julu City at noon tomorrow. ”

It was a fellow from the caravan who spoke, and the people of the caravan had been much more enthusiastic about him since Green had killed the bandit leader that day.

After many days of marching in the wilderness, at last there was a town to rest, and the people of the caravan seemed very excited.

Found an open spot on the edge of the town, set up the camp, and the guys pulled out some goods and put them up for sale in front of the camp.

Seeing a caravan coming, many people in the town ran out to pick up some goods that they could not normally buy, and occasionally some hunters came to sell them with wild animal skins.

Duncan said that some people would be left to guard the camp, and the others could go around the town, but they would have to be back before leaving tomorrow morning. Many men cheered, carrying money in groups and walking towards the town, after being in the wild for too long, these people were almost suffocated.

Green wandered around the camp with his hands behind his back, watching with interest as others bargained.

"Brother Green!", a cry of surprise came from behind, Green turned his head to look, and sure enough, it was Dolan again. Since that day, this kid has been entangled with himself, and he has to teach him to cultivate all day long, and he can't hide from it.

"I'm so sorry Dolan has caused you trouble these days. A pretty figure followed Dolan and walked over.

I saw that Fran was wearing a delicate tunic white dress today, showing her slender figure, the skirt was slightly shorter, revealing a smooth and delicate calf, her long soft black hair was draped behind her, and an amethyst necklace hung around her slender neck, which seemed to be wearing light makeup.

I rarely saw Fran these days, and it seemed that she was avoiding herself intentionally or unintentionally, and when she appeared in front of her, Green politely stepped forward to say hello.

The two chatted for a few words, and Dolan came up and said, "Brother Green, we're going to go to town for a walk, do you want to come together?"

After a little thought, Green agreed, he had been staying in Andrew's domain and rarely went out, and he couldn't help but be a little curious about the situation outside.

So the three of them walked together, chatting casually about some interesting things in the caravan.

As soon as he walked out of the camp, he saw a figure returning from outside, it was Tour, whom he had not seen in a few days.

Seeing Green and Fran walking side by side, talking and laughing, a burst of fire burned in Tour's eyes, his face was gloomy, and he walked silently with his head down.

The last time he was frightened by the bandit leader and ran away, he became the joke of the caravan, and no matter where he went, he could always feel the contemptuous gaze from behind him, especially the few times he saw the trace of disgust in the corners of Fran's eyes, which made his self-esteem hit again and again, and he no longer had the arrogance he used to have.

"Slightly~", Dolan secretly grimaced at Tour's back, and was immediately stopped by Fran, but the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

Green didn't feel anything about it, the other party was just a small officer of a chamber of commerce, although he had provoked him a few times, but he didn't take it seriously, the two were not destined to be people of the same world.

Oak Town is not big, but it is very lively, and the town is full of shops, although it is already night, but most of them are still open. Because this is going to the provincial capital Julu City, there are a lot of people coming and going.

The three of them wander around the town casually, and Fran, who is well-groomed, always attracts attention. At a small stall, Green buys a local specialty, and the owner fills a large bag of flan as he praises her beauty.

"Looks like you're really stained tonight," Green laughs.

Dolan on the side stuffed a mouthful of snacks and muttered: "Sister Fran's beauty is famous, every young man in the caravan likes Sister Fran, whoever marries Sister Fran is really lucky." ”

"Eat you quietly, no one will treat you as a dumb person if you don't speak. Fran gave him a light knock on the head.

As they walked around, the three of them happened to come to a jewelry store, and the gorgeous and exquisite jewelry was placed behind the glass window, and Fran's eyes were immediately attracted tightly.

Then he looked at Green a little embarrassed, not knowing how to speak.

"If you like it, just go in and have a look. Green said with a smile.

"Oops, my stomach hurts," Dolan suddenly exclaimed.

Fran hurriedly crouched down to check on him, "What's wrong?" ”

"No, no, no," Dolan hurriedly waved his hand, "I just want to have diarrhea, just go back alone." Look, isn't that Joseph in front, I'll just go back with him. ”

After speaking, Dolan hurriedly ran towards the guy from the Chamber of Commerce in front of him, and threw a look at Fran before leaving, which clearly meant "Sister, I have created a chance for you, and it will be up to you next!"

Her face flushed for a while, and Fran stood up and looked at Dolan's figure running away in shame, how could she have a stomachache?

"Then let's go in and have a look. Green reminded loudly on the side, and Fran withdrew her eyes hatefully and walked into the jewelry store with Green.

......

"Please give me those emerald earrings to try. ”

Fran put on her earrings, compared them to the mirror, and turned to Green and smiled, "Does it look good?"

For a while, it was so beautiful that the clerk was a little stunned.

"Not bad, perfect for you. Greene said to the clerk, "Please wrap up these earrings." ”

"Wait, this color is too dark, it's a little old, let's try the one on the side"

...... Green was speechless for a while, it seems that no matter which world, women are the same when they go shopping.

When he had nothing to do, Green took a casual look in the store.

Unconsciously coming to the corner, Green felt a strange aura.

I only saw that in the corner, in a glass display case, there were some pieces of jewelry, which looked like they were some years old.

Green pulled over a clerk and asked, "These are ......?"

"Oh, these are some of the old pieces of jewellery that we've bought, and they're going to be re-smelted or polished in new condition before being sold. ”

"Please show me that bracelet. ”

The clerk looked at Green with some embarrassment, "Sir, these are to be processed, not sold." ”

"It's okay, I'll buy it at the original price," Green said calmly.

The helpless clerk opened the cabinet and took out a string of silver bracelets decorated with broken gems, although some are old, the luster is dull, but the style is very peculiar, the surrounding hollows, the fine gems are embellished into two snakes, head and tail are connected.

Green took it, and a strange aura came over him, exactly like the feeling on Leah's necklace. The prompt of the system also jumped out, "Found available energy, do you absorb it?".

Ignoring it for the time being, Green calmly asked the clerk about the price of the bracelet. After carefully looking at Green for a while, the clerk offered a price that was not too high, although he knew that he had been slaughtered by a small one, but Green didn't care about the money.

"Wrap it up, and I'll settle the bill with the lady's later. ”

......

On the way back.

"Brother Green, thank you so much just now. ”

"You're welcome, it's rude to have a beautiful lady pay the bill. ”

Fran watched Green play with the bracelet and asked, "Which girl are you going to give it to?"

Green smiled, "No, I just think there's something special about its design." ”

Hearing Green's answer, Fran felt a sense of relief in her heart.

After the two returned to the camp to say goodbye, Green couldn't wait to return to his little tent.

Take out the bracelet and use your mind to summon the system and absorb the energy in the bracelet little by little. There were some vague images flooding into Grimm's mind, what seemed to be some pictures of the previous master's life.

After a while, the bracelet's energy was absorbed, much shorter than the first time it was absorbed from Leah's necklace.

Looking at the system panel, I only get three attribute points to assign. It's not much, but it's better than nothing, and Green thinks about it for a while but decides to keep it for now, and add it when necessary.

Nothing happened overnight.

At noon the next day, the caravan finally came to a huge city. There was an endless stream of people around, and Duncan's caravan was inconspicuous among them. The towering walls are forty meters high, and there are still flashes of light on the surface from time to time.

Duncan explained to Green, "It is said that when this wall was first built, it was specially asked by a mage to attach a strong special effect to it. ”

After paying the entrance fee, Green said goodbye to Duncan.

"It's better to go back to our Chamber of Commerce, the conditions are limited along the way, and I didn't entertain you well. Duncan said.

"I have some other things to take care of, not to mention that you will have a lot of things to do when you go back, so I won't bother. ”

Seeing this, Duncan didn't hold back, but just left Green a contact address and told him to come and sit when he was free.

After saying goodbye to Duncan, Green turned and walked away, disappearing into the crowd a moment after.
