99. A woman with a story

This is really not good news. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoIn the void, there has never been a professional below level 10. These elves are the elite among them. In the underground environment, this group of nearly a hundred or so fifteenth-level female elves full of hatred for humans is definitely a roadblock in the way forward.

"Can we not go to the swamp?" thought Easter that instead of fighting a group of red-eyed tigresses in the swamp, it would be better to find another way to go.

"There's no other way. Dardo gestured to the lines on the map. "The other road is defended by the archbishop's elite men. From there, the archbishop has long since disappeared. ”

This is probably the worst news Easter has ever heard. Truth be told, he really didn't want to fight those poor female elves. Stripped naked and used as an animal exhibition, the Buddha also has fire! Not to mention that it is difficult to say who will lose and who will win! It is very likely that they will be overwhelmed by the dense rain of arrows and will not be able to raise their heads.

At this moment, Sonia, who had not spoken for a long time, spoke.

"Can we negotiate with them? We don't want to fight this one. Do they just want to? If they die, they will have one less!"

"It also requires them to be able to talk. I'm afraid that if they don't say a word, they will fight when they come up. ”

"No matter what, we're going to pass through this swamp," Valentina decided. Then, she also asked a little unconfidently, "We're just going to pass through the swamp, not to kill them all." They're not going to be stalked, just chase after us!"

"Well, what do the Dryads look like, and how different are they from humans?" said Easter. The question may be about whether or not they can make it through that swamp.

Before setting off, Valentina still needs to do some preparations. At the very least, she needed to help Esther and Sonia arrange the safe evacuation of the people who were all over the valley here. After all, they are just civilians and militia and should not be involved in such an engagement.

For this question, Valentina, who also landed from the underground dock, confirmed the safety along the way. In this way, there is no longer a need for strong force to protect the crowd along the way.

In this way, it is completely possible to arrange for people to go to the underground dock on their own, use the boats there, pass through the underground river, and return to the surface.

However, this also requires Valentina to do a delicate organization. After all, not everyone can row, and rowing in a dark underground river is even more dangerous.

In this regard, Valentina's countermeasure is to pick out the rowing experts in the crowd and organize a team dedicated to rowing. Through her status as a legendary powerhouse, Valentina convinced the singled out that they would be generously rewarded by the royal family if they worked hard to get everyone back to the surface.

While Valentina was arranging the evacuation of the Valley, Esther was also having a strange conversation.

The location was Esther and Sonya's break room, and the conversation was with a woman, the same woman who pointed out that he and Sonia were not the City Guards at the beginning. Through Sonya's psychic vision, they quickly found the woman among a large group of people. Compared to the weakness and weakness when she was first rescued, the speed with which this woman recovered was astonishing. When Esther found her, she was wearing a ragged garment that had been ripped from a dead man's body, and was working with a large group of women to make dry food.

In the dimly lit valley floor, some women are threshing stored wheat using the most primitive methods. The object that Esther was looking for was to take a few women and mix a large amount of wheat grains with a small amount of flour to make wheat rice balls. This rice ball is steamed and then dried, making it an easy-to-carry travel food.

This is not a traditional food in Coronia. The people of Coronia do not have the habit of eating wheat grains, and it is not popular to make rice balls.

When Esther called her out of the crowd, she was calm, as if she knew Esther was looking for her.

A strange feeling welled up in East's heart. He felt as if he hadn't gone to this woman and had missed something important.

Pouring the woman an expensive drink from Valentina's contribution, Esther decided to get straight to the point.

"Do you think I can trust me now? You must not be an ordinary person. ”

The woman is very beautiful, especially the facial features are particularly delicate. Although she looks to be in her thirties, she still exudes a charming charm.

She picked up the wooden cup that Esther handed over, and took a gentle sip of the drink inside, a look of nostalgia on her face. Her movements are very elegant, and in contrast, Valentina and Sonia look like uncultured wild girls (although it is true, Valentina is a barbarian, and Sonia has been a king of fights since she was a child). ）

The woman put down her glass, sighed with a lonely expression, and said slowly, "Misty wine from Shalit." It's really been a long time since I've drunk it. ”

East was taken aback. The name of the drink, Valentina had just told him. It's misty wine, and it's a product of another plane. As for which plane, Valentina did not remember. But the woman, after only a superficial sip, called out the name of the drink and said where it came from.

Easter, however, did not show this surprise. For this woman's extraordinary, he has long been mentally prepared.

"Drink more if you like. Grab a bite to eat by the way. Esther reached out and handed over a plate of refreshments.

Instead of picking up the refreshment, the woman asked Esther a question.

"Now in Colombo, is there any Gaote Comptoir?"

Esther couldn't answer that question. He made it clear to the woman that he was not a native of Colombo, that he had only been in Colombo for a few days, and that he had spent a long time underground.

It's not a big problem to be here. Esther immediately called for a call for Gronny. This veteran warrior is indigenous to Colombo. According to him, his family has been living in Colombo since 3,000 years ago.

"Goult Comptoir?" Gronny listened to Easter's relay, a look of remembrance on his face.

"There used to be such a big commercial house. Right on the Avenue of Splendour, next to the Pergas Weapons Workshop. That's a big trading house. It is said that the trading house was related to a certain big man, and he could always get his hands on rare high-end luxury goods. ”

"And how is it now?" the woman's voice trembled unknowingly.

"It seems like it closed more than a decade ago. ”

"Do you know where the people in the store have gone?"

Gronny spreads his hands. "I don't know. I'm just a warrior and don't pay attention to luxury stuff like that. I can remember that shop because it's next to the Pervase Weapons Workshop. ”

From Gronny, the woman gets the news that a decision does not make people happy. But she seemed to have expected it, and there was no obvious reaction, just a little silence.

After letting Gronny leave, Esther asked again, "Do you have anything to do with the Gaute Comptoir, or do your family work in the firm?"

A wry smile appeared at the corner of the woman's mouth, "You are very perceptive." All right. Now it seems that you have some abilities and relationships. Most importantly, you should be the one of the eldest princess Void Fleet. What I'm talking about, you shouldn't be a threat. ”

"Please. Esther nodded.

"My name is Mora Gott. The owner of the Gaote Comptoir is my father. Ostensibly, we are an independent plane luxury goods firm, but in reality, we are the Duke of Pervasse's agent in the plane deal. ”

"How is this possible?" said Valentina pushed open the wooden door and walked in. She had just finished arranging for Brask to organize the rowers. As a member of the city guard, Brask became more familiar with the countess and carried out orders more seriously.

Then, Valentina decided to go and see what Easter was up to. As a result, the woman's last words were heard.

If the man who made the worst impression of Valentina during her five years in Coronia had to be Prague Pervasse. This talented gentleman always wants to pursue the eldest princess with all his heart. In Valentina's opinion, this is simply a toad wanting to eat swan meat. A waste who is not even a legend dares to have such wishful thinking. If it weren't for the eldest princess's civilized education, she would definitely pull out her knife and teach that guy a hard lesson. She could see that the eldest princess didn't have a good impression of Prague Pervas, but because of her own upbringing and the face-saving relationship between the royal family and the top nobles, she couldn't speak harshly about this guy. As the captain of the guard, of course, Valentina has to take care of this guy for her sister's master.

Although Valentina is a brute girl, she is very smart (stupid people can't become legends). Therefore, even if she can't be hard in Serenti's way, she can still use the way of civilized people to soften.

So, Valentina began to manipulate at the level of the Void Fleet. Every time the Void Fleet brought back an Exotopic product, she prioritized the supply of business rivals who competed with Pervas's family. In just a few years, the Pergas Trading Company, which once occupied half of the luxury goods in Colombo's heterogeneous plane, was dealt a heavy loss. As for the key targets, Valentina certainly knows it. The main force of the Pervas family's heterotopic business is the Pervas trading house established by their own family. As for the surrogate, she had never heard of it at all.

"Your Excellency. You're not from Coronia, are you? Where were you twelve years ago?"

Looking at the blue-haired Valentina, the woman asked calmly.

"Twelve years ago?" Valentina was momentarily speechless. Twelve years ago, at the age of eight, she was still a caveman in Serenti!

"Yes. Twelve years ago, my family's Gault Comptoir was the plane trading agent of the Duke of Pervas's family. ”

"Well, so how did the situation get to this point?" Valentina was very interested in the Pervas family, and she vaguely sensed that there was a lot to be done here.

"It's going to be a long story. Would you like to hear it?"

"Of course, please speak. ”
