Chapter 5: The Impoverished Town of Frona
Birmingham obviously ignored the difference between the fast in the mouth of the monster and the fast in the human concept, the four-legged Mr. Warcraft is always faster than the two-legged Birmingham, this is Birmingham after following the instructions of Mr. Warcraft, after walking along the creek for three or four hours, finally when the little magician Ellie was ready to kill back to the small western-style building, intending to skin the monster and cramp, finally the green trees gradually became scarce, the moist soil under his feet also hardened, and the traces of the surrounding animals became less and less, but there were a few more lines of human footprints。 Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info This means that it is not far away from the place where humans live.
Sure enough, after walking through the last few tall trees, the vision in front of them suddenly widened, a straight avenue appeared in the eyes of Birmingham and others, the stream in the jungle flowed from the side of the avenue, and slowly flowed into the farmland on both sides through several aqueducts, and the poor farmers in the farmland did not seem to notice that the Birmingham group came out of the jungle not far away, but just lowered their heads and planted green seedlings into the muddy farmland.
Not far from the road, there are more than a dozen dilapidated houses, and the wooden fence encloses these dozen houses, like a simple city wall, "This can't be the town that your father asked you to cultivate, this Violet family treats the losers too badly." "Birmingham was amazed to look at the small village-like town, it was impossible to connect this place with the town, there were no pubs, casinos, restaurants, this place was too miserable.
"No, my father told me that the town of Storley is a very wealthy town, how could it be like this?"
"There seem to be a lot of people over there, so why don't you go over and ask. Tina, the knightess, pointed to the place where a group of people had gathered on the edge of the wall, and made her own suggestion.
The stench, the stench that is difficult to hide, even if the little magician Ellie casts a spell on the people to fresh the air, this stench still penetrates into the Birmingham group, and when they walk in, they find that a group of ragged civilians are in a circle, as if they are discussing something, not from the crowd A cry of exclamation, one of the people in the crowd saw the Birmingham group walk in, and hurriedly greeted it.
"Honorable knight, I don't know if you came to Stoli Town for a tour or passing through?" The person who came was a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, and unlike the group of civilians, the clothes worn by this middle-aged man were still relatively complete, at least he did not show some places that should not be exposed, and his complexion looked relatively ruddy, without the feeling of yellow and thin muscles like that of civilians.
"Huh, I heard you right. "Little magician Ellie swept over the middle-aged man with an expression of you are teasing me, and saw that the middle-aged man did not seem to feel inappropriate about what he said.
"Don't underestimate our small town of Stolly, once upon a time, our town of Stolly was a famous tourist attraction, with its fertile farmland, hard-working people, and clean air, especially the Violet family's Rose Manor on the top of the hill not far away. The middle-aged man introduced to the little magician Ellie very respectfully, but seeing the eyes of the little magician Ellie who obviously didn't believe it, his confidence was obviously a little lacking.
"See, this is the difference between the propaganda poster and the real thing, I think the broken sword will be like this, it's better for us to ....." Birmingham's words were not finished, his face instantly turned the color of pig liver, and a knight's boot was impartially landing on Birmingham's instep.
The female knight Tina looked at Birmingham with a smile, "Master, what did you say, what happened to that sword?"
"No, that sword is good, very good, it must be kept and not lost. Birmingham wriggled and apologized to the smiling knight Tina in a pitch-changing voice, and finally removed the heavy knight's boots from Birmingham's somewhat deformed feet with Tina's satisfied smile, giving Birmingham a long sigh of relief.
Birmingham's ridicule made the middle-aged man a little embarrassed, but soon this embarrassment was interrupted by another young man, "Yo, I said that the acting mayor should not waste your efforts, where are there still people in this place, but I heard that our Grand Duke Violet seems to have sent his daughter here, tsk, how ugly this daughter is, so unpopular with the Grand Duke, she wants to send her to our place." ”
The young man didn't notice Miss Maid's face turn blue in an instant, but Birmingham, who was standing next to Miss Maid, could clearly hear the creaking sound of Frona's clenched fist. Then a graceful arc swept through the air and fell into the farmland beside it.
The middle-aged man was stunned and watched as the soft and weak maid lady lightly punched the young man Rogge's body, and then there was no more, and Rogge, known as the first master of Stoley, planted the farmland with his feet facing the sky.
Miss Maid's punch definitely had the effect of killing the audience in seconds, and the crowd that was originally chattering dispersed in an instant, and in less than half a moment, the town that was still a little popular just now was left with only the man just now and the young man Rogge who was planted in the farmland.
"My lord, false propaganda shouldn't kill the head, right?" The middle-aged man trembled and glanced at the young man Rog who was planted upside down in the farmland, and then glanced at the configuration of the group in Birmingham, knights, magicians, and a strange maid, as for the little white face full of fishy smell, let's skip it.
Hey, I saw it, your eyes obviously skipped me, and how did you smell the fishy smell on my body in this foul-smelling town, I obviously washed it many times, alas, Tina and Little Ellie, what's the matter with your eyes, is there really a fishy smell on my body, Birmingham roared in his heart, but he couldn't help but raise his sleeves and asked deeply, the foul smell mixed with a faint fishy smell rushed into Birmingham's nose, making Birmingham's face change, and a violent breath rose from his chest, no, I'm going to vomit, Birmingham struggled to hold down his mouth that was about to gush out, trying to calm his breath, finally forced the violent turmoil in the stomach down.
"I'm Sebrila Frona, the eldest daughter of the Grand Duke of Violet, and since you're the acting mayor of Stoli, you're qualified to receive my letter, and this is my letter of appointment, and I want to know what's going on here?" Ignoring the fear of the middle-aged man, the maid took out a white letter from her bosom and handed it to the obviously stunned middle-aged man, who took the letter mechanically, the touch of the fine paper made the middle-aged man's rough hand feel black marks, the violet flowers woven of exquisite ribbons, and the violet family crest on the red ink, all showed the weight of the letter.
After the middle-aged man finished reading the letter tremblingly, he looked at the maid in front of him, and fell to his knees with a plop, "The villain is the seventh acting mayor of Stoli Town, welcome Lord Frona to come, the town is poorly equipped, and I hope Lord Frona will forgive me." ”
"You shouldn't call me Lord Flona, as a commoner, you call me by my name and you will be punished by death in the imperial capital, but judging by your appearance, you should not have received such an education, so I can forgive you this time, next time you should call me Lord Sebrela, or Lord Zhenshoufu. The maid corrected this mistake very seriously, obviously for the Violet family, which is at the pinnacle, there is always an inexplicable obsession with the etiquette of the nobles.
Looking at the maid lady who exuded an aristocratic atmosphere, Birmingham shrugged his shoulders a little uncomfortably, "Master, it's not right for you to do this, the responsibility of the nobles is not only to protect the people, but also to have a sense of awe for the people, in front of outsiders, especially in front of the people of their own territory, they must maintain their majesty, such a lord is easier to make the people of the territory feel secure than the nobles who mingle with the people." The female knight Tina quietly attached to Birmingham's ears, the warm breath made Birmingham feel a little itchy, Tina's unique rose aroma finally made Birmingham, which was tormented by the stench and fishy smell, feel a shock, but in the face of the female knight Tina's reminder, Birmingham still nodded involuntarily.
"Aristocracy has always been awe-inspiring. This is a sentence that Birmingham often mentions when learning aristocratic etiquette, and it is also a popular golden and jade saying in the entire aristocratic circle, and the maid Miss Frona at this moment is how she completely implements this criterion.
