In the evening, outside the capital of knowledge, it is a noisy time of day, and the merchants of the nearby villages and towns return to their homes with empty wagons and heavy purses on their belts. Winter is coming, and after the last shipments have been sold, these part-time merchants in nearby villages and towns will no longer continue to travel between cities and towns, preferring to hide in the warmth of their homes and spend a comfortable winter.

The girls followed the traffic, unhurriedly approaching the capital of knowledge, occasionally encountering familiar vendors along the way, and Catherine would always smile and wave to them. However, the vendors who were greeted did not seem to be so pleasant, and after seeing Catherine, they often hid on the other side of the carriage at the first time, pretending not to see it, but there were still a few vendors who did not have time to hide, and could only return the salute with a tangled expression.

"You're still so horrible in the eyes of these vendors, big sister. Freya shook in front of people for a long time, and found that no one recognized her identity, so she relaxed and joked: "I went to the market with you back then, but I saw your power, so many of me didn't dare to go out on the street." ”

"This is the Cavaliers' record. Catherine was not embarrassed at all, and said proudly: "In order to achieve such a result, I visited all the farms near the Holy Capital, and recorded the prices of almost every vegetable and meat in detail, and I also consulted a few market scholars for this." ”

"Just to save a few gold coins?" Freya sighed, shook her head and said helplessly, "You are really persistent. ”

"Don't look down on a few gold coins. Catherine retorted: "You should always understand the principle of accumulating more and more, save a little here, save a little there, and you can get a few thousand more gold coins in a few years." Besides, an ordinary person's monthly expenses are only a few gold coins, and the savings each time are enough for them to live comfortably for a month. ”

"Catherine. The two girls were arguing very boredly, when they suddenly heard someone shouting Catherine's name from afar, and when they looked up, Nicole from the antique goods store was driving a carriage towards them, and waved their hands and shouted from a long distance: "You have been gone for a long time this time, have you just come back today?"

"yes, just got back from the land of mountains. Catherine raised her whip and replied, "Why are you going out of town at night? What about Rachel? Isn't he with you?"

"After a busy day during the day, I can only leave at night, and a friend is waiting for me tonight in the village of Glench, and I want to collect a shipment from him. Nike looked at Eva sitting on the roof of the car with curious eyes, and replied casually: "Rachel still needs to see the store, so he didn't go with me, anyway, it's not very far, and he will be back tomorrow afternoon, and he doesn't need two people to run." ”

"Seriously, you should have hired a clerk. Catherine persuaded, "Seeing that your business is getting better and better, you can afford this expense, and you can have someone to help you take care of the store, and you can also make it easier." ”

"Forget it, there are a lot of things in the ancient goods store that are too dangerous for ordinary people, hiring an ordinary person may have an accident at some point, and hiring a professional is much more expensive than ordinary people, so it's better for us to do it ourselves. Nicole said, "By the way, in the past two days, there has been a girl who has been looking for you in the mansion every night, as if there is something important, but she refuses to say anything when she asks her." ”

"Little girl?" Catherine was stunned, "You haven't seen it either?"

"yes, I don't know. Nicole said, "But she usually comes at night, and if you're lucky tonight, you should be able to meet her, and you'll know when the time comes." But I don't think it's anything particularly urgent, otherwise we would definitely be asked to talk. ”

"Well, thank you. Catherine thought about it, but she really didn't have a clue, so she could only smile and say: "Then you hurry up, I shouldn't have dragged you to chat, we will be home soon, don't worry, you still have to rush at night." Forget it, don't talk about it, don't talk about it, you go quickly, come back early tomorrow, if you have time, come to the mansion for dinner in the evening, I haven't thanked you for helping us take care of those children, I guess the four of them together are enough for you to have a headache. ”

"Hahaha, they're actually very well-behaved, okay, then I'll go first, see you tomorrow. Nicole shook the reins to restart the carriage and waved goodbye, her eyes still spinning around Eva as she left. It's not that she sees anything wrong, but she wonders in her heart, in less than three months, where did Catherine find such a delicate little girl like a doll, and this child's strength is still exaggerated, if the legendary level professionals are really so easy to pick up, there will not be only dozens of legendary ranks in the human world.

"It seems that she really didn't see it. Catherine looked back at the blonde girl on the roof of the car: "Eva, you better go back to the carriage first, although after verification, no one can really see your identity, but it is really abnormal for you to sit on the roof like this." ”

"The instruction has been received. Eva stood up expressionlessly and climbed into the carriage, and habitually said in a stylized tone: "The instruction is being implemented, the instruction has been completed, and it has entered the standby state." ”

"Ahem, ahem. Catherine almost choked herself, coughed a few times and said: "Eva, you'd better change the way you say it, basically no one in the world will talk like this, if you don't change, it will be difficult to really integrate into the human world." ”

"Okay, I know, I'll try to change. Although the way Eva speaks has changed, her voice still has no ups and downs: "The humanized ontology is very troublesome, if it is still attached to the control center, it only takes a few instructions to change, but it still needs to be slowly adapted to the ontology." ”

"That's the price of being a normal person, don't worry, you can take your time, as long as you can always remember. Catherine comforted her, then turned around and waved her horsewhip down, "Let's go, Freya, I'm a little worried about the little girl who came to us in Nicole's mouth, and I hope I can see her in time today, and I'm always a little worried." ”

"If you're worried, go back and have a look. A voice sounded from the top of the carriage again: "Anyway, it will take an hour at most to get home from here, including the part of the road in the city." ”

"That's why I said I was on my way. Catherine subconsciously replied, suddenly reacted, and turned back in surprise: "Hey, Pannis, you are so scary again, when did you come back? ”

"Let me think about it, probably when Eva complained that her health was not working. Pannis sat down in the place where he originally loved and said, "As for finding you, it's too easy, ask the people on the road where there are beautiful women, and they will naturally point it to me." Hey, put the sword down, I admit that I just heard someone crying about your heroic deeds in the bazaar, and I realized that you haven't arrived home yet, so I chased after you all the way, otherwise I would have gone straight back. ”

"It would have been nice to say that earlier. Catherine gave her an angry look, put her sword back to her side, and shook the reins to speed up the horse's progress: "How did things go? ”

"Of course not, things are going well. Pannis said: "Three elven demigods, two dwarven demigods, two winged human demigods, by the way, Odin also went over to help, plus me, a total of nine demigods participated." Well, no, I should say ten, and the leader of the lizardmen in the swamp also went, but by the time he arrived, the thank-you feast was over, and everyone said he had just gone to get a night's sleep. The nine demigods had a slight advantage against the twenty-one demigod beasts, and those demigod beasts themselves were also fighting with each other, so it didn't take much effort to end the problem, and there were no injured people. However, the Winged Human Race has lost more than a dozen gold-level young people, and their population is already small, which is quite heart-wrenching. ”

"That's a shame. Although it had nothing to do with herself, Catherine still sighed a little sadly and said, "Does this happen often?"

"According to the elves, such a thing had never been heard of in their generation. Pannis lay down on the roof of the carriage, looked at the sky with his arms on his pillow, and said, "This is the first time that those demigod beasts suddenly ran out of the Death Forest in groups, and everyone agrees that something may have happened in the depths of the Death Forest. ”

"What kind of change can make a dozen demigod beasts come out and wander?" Catherine shook her head and said, "I think if such an accident happens, I'm afraid the entire Yala Continent will feel it." ”

"I thought so too. Pannis said: "However, maybe there is something we don't know about, and no one dares to admit or deny this kind of thing with such certainty." But the rest of the matter has nothing to do with me, the result of everyone's discussion is to investigate the cause of the demigod monster's movement to the elves to deal with, after all, they have lived outside the forest of death for thousands of years, living with the forest every day, this experience must be much richer than others, it is up to them to find out the cause, and then how to completely solve this problem. ”

"That's good. Catherine said, "Is there anything wrong?"

"No, no, but ......," said Pannis, after a moment's hesitation, "this is indeed strange, after all, nothing like this has ever happened before. I'm worried that something very troublesome might come into play. There are enough troubles in Yarra's world now, and I don't want to see another one more thing added to them. ”

"Don't think about it so much. Catherine comforted: "Even if there is trouble, just solve it." ”

As we were talking, there were more and more pedestrians and travelers around me, and the city gate was already in sight. (To be continued.) )
