Chapter 14 Visitors from the West

During the banquet, Yalei and Charlene put aside their troubles for the time being, and they had a good conversation with Orient, and after three rounds of drinking, the major put down the cup slightly drunk, and said with curiosity on his face:

"Your Excellency the Governor, this gun given to you by His Majesty is said to have a special origin, can you let me see it?"

"No problem. ”

The black-haired knight and his lover looked at each other for a moment, and at the same time, nodding that it was not a big deal, he strode over to the metal box, ripped off the blockade above, and carried it to the table.

Clickβ€”β€”!

The moment the lid of the box was completely removed, the golden light like the scorching sun bloomed from the box, instantly covering the bright lights in the hall, and at this moment, the three of them seemed to be inside the rising sun.

After barely getting used to the golden glow in full bloom, Yalei looked at the light source and saw that the contents of the box were as bright as the solidified fire of the sun, and the whole body was wrapped in a layer of golden light that was impossible to see.

The body of the gun is slender and smooth, up to nine feet long, the tip of the gun is in the shape of the rising sun, and there are five sharp sharp angles that imitate the sun around it, and the carved pattern on it is simple and condensed, as if it is a corona plucked from the sun!

It's like a scepter, much more like a gun.

Buzzβ€”β€”!

The black-haired knight's waist Arondette let out a sword groan, vibrated and rushed out of the scabbard, revealing an incomparably sharp half-foot blade, and a bright sword light spread out in a circle, like a faint ripple on the surface of the lake, and like a shockwave that erupted when a huge mass hit.

Phewβ€”β€”!

At the same time, the golden spear shone brightly, and the sound of breaking wind in the hall came and went, and the lake-like sword light in the dazzling golden light turned and soared. It flows like a dragon of light. Then it gradually dimmed......

Wooβ€”β€”!

Seeing that his own brilliance was suppressed by those who came after him. Like a child who has been bullied, the Holy Sword let out an unwilling wail, retracted its scabbard, and regained its former calm.

It looks good......

In order to show that he is not a person who likes the new and hates the old, he patted Arondette on the waist, saying that his favorite weapon will always be it.

The black-haired knight holds the blade of unknown origin. Holding it up in front of him, he found a beautiful line of characters engraved on the barrel of the gun, although he didn't know those words at all, he knew the meaning of the characters in his heart, as if a voice was whispering softly in his ear:

"The spear pierced the sky, and the gods fell to the ground. ”

"Wow! that's beautiful!" Orient craned his neck to stare at the sharpshooter obsessively, then quickly shook his head and clapped his hands.

"Hahahaha!"

Yalei smirked on his back, spun the spear in his hand a few times, and said with his mouth closed, "Tut-tut...... Look at this look. Looking at this blind light, even if it is a little bit of fame. I also admit it, how stylish and cool. ”

β€œ......”

The green-haired girl shook her head helplessly, and sat back in her chair with her cheeks on her cheeks, with a melancholy expression.

Similar to poisonous snakes, the more beautiful some things are, the more dangerous they are, haven't you heard of such a thing...... This rough-lined man is really heartless and heartless to a certain level.

The two men felt the spear and admired it for a full fifty minutes, before Charlene coughed unhappily, temporarily relented, put the weapon in the box, and then quickly finished the dinner as if chewing wax.

......

After sending off the purple-haired major, the green-haired girl looked at Yalei's smirking expression holding the spear, and suddenly became angry, snatched the spear from his hand, and said angrily:

"Stupid, I'm so happy to get a vase of spears, I'm really angry!"

"Vase gun?"

The black-haired knight was stunned, unable to accept that his love spear was called this, and said: "How can you say that the vase, you also saw it just now, even the holy sword of Arondaite's level is inferior to it." ”

"But it's useless, stupid!"

Charlene frantically slashed the volley of the spear into the air, and said angrily:

"I've looked up the information about this gun in the family library, and I know better than you where it came from, so I can say that this gun is useless except for its good looks. ”

"Why do you say that?" said Yare, still with a skeptical expression.

The green-haired girl took a deep breath of cold air, forced herself to calm down, and recounted seriously:

"Let me tell you directly, this Mortal Blade has a total of five forms that can be converted into each other, but no one knows how to convert, so it will always remain in the form of a scepter with no combat power, that is...... It's just an ornament!"

β€œ......”

The black-haired knight's face suddenly turned to ashes, and he glanced at the immortal blade blankly, and then as if he was like something, he asked with a strong spirit:

"No, since it's useless, why did His Majesty the Emperor give it to me?"

"You need to know...... His Majesty the Emperor's Light Arsenal had a total of treasures, and he didn't know how many treasures there were...... Not to mention the use and performance of the weapon......" Charlene said with one hand covering her forehead.

"Anyway...... Let me give it a try. ”

Yalei's mood completely fell into a trough, but still holding on to a glimmer of hope, he took the Blade of Mortality from the green-haired girl and decided to spend some time researching it.

......

A week later, the black-haired knight had to stop his research, because the gun really didn't listen to the call at all, and the infusion of vindictive energy was like a sea of mud, absorbing as much as he wanted, but there was no response.

The projected is not as powerful as a normal spear, the latter at least physically reasonable, while the former only has the ability to illuminate at night.

Unfortunately, Yalei could only temporarily put it into the cold palace, except for the daily routine of importing fighting energy, he no longer expected this gun to play a role in actual combat.

Due to the fact that the heavy snow has not stopped during this time, and there is a tendency to get heavier, the mountain roads and wilderness are completely sealed into a snowy field, so the connection between the Doge's Palace and Gilred is temporarily interrupted.

In order to reconnect with the other party and get more information about himself, he decided to infiltrate the Highland Kingdom again. Wait for an opportunity to find out the origin of the short gun.

......

Celtic. The northern part of the Highlands.

Evening. The earth was completely covered with a layer of white snow and ice, and the sky could not see the setting sun, only the increasingly yellow skylight. The northern harbor, built on the seashore and built on the hillside, is still a busy scene, and the Lune soldiers carry fuel lamps and line up from the pier to the halfway up the mountainside, and from a distance, the lights are connected into a large area.

As night approaches. The firelit corridor flickered with the snow in the night, propping up a spreading ribbon of silver light, giving people the feeling of a fairy tale world, full of an unreal and unreal sense of unreality.

But for the peasants who worked under the supervision of the Lune warriors, it was a living chore, each of them had to carry two or three heavy boxes of supplies from the docks to the mountainside.

It was enough to work tirelessly in the wind and snow, and even worse, there was no pay, because it was the labor of the common people, and the king and his ministers only had to take care of two meals a day.

When the laborers trudged through the snow. Halfway up the mountain, in a tall complex surrounded by evergreen trees, inside an ancient castle with the brightest lights. At the moment, it was a brilliant light, and it was obvious that someone was holding some kind of event. Dressed in dresses and furs, dressed gracefully and luxuriously, and talking extraordinarily, the nobles and celebrities were all whispering and talking softly under the bright lights.

"What the hell weather!"

Nancy cursed for the thousandth time in her heart, carrying a plate full of glass cups through the narrow aisles, weaving through the crowd of well-dressed people, delivering glasses of valuable wine to the guests.

Pale gold Highland whiskey swayed in the glass, and several merchants, also dressed in pale gold fur, were gathering together to converse in a strange dialect she didn't understand, and the sound was like the crunch of boots stepping on the snow, and the pretty waitress kept whispering to herself.

The screaming cold wind swept through the cracks in the castle with sparse and tiny snowflakes, but Nancy, who was lightly dressed, was unusual, hovering around these guests like a flower butterfly.

The smuggling trade network between North and South Celts was cut off, and the Highland kingdoms were hit hard, and this trade route not only brought in tens of billions of soles a year, but also allowed them to replenish the garrison through Hadrian's Wall from the south.

But now that the trade routes were interrupted, the vacant part of the highland kingdom had to rely on the support of the Free Alliance, which also caused this port to the Atlantic Ocean to begin to prosper abnormally.

If you have money in your hands, of course you have to consume, and this castle is a gold cave for local merchants and nobles to share the spoils, and there is no shortage of aristocratic scum who like to take advantage of women, but no one can get half a cent of this beautiful temporary waiter.

Even if a high-level rune warrior with extraordinary skills came out, she could avoid it without a trace, and after two or three times, no matter how stupid people were, they understood that this girl was not easy to mess with.

Nancy hated the cold, and even more hated the vulgar aristocracy of this place, and if it weren't for the sudden heavy snowfall, and the fact that she accidentally spent all her travel expenses, she wouldn't want to stay here for a second.

After the drink, she rested by the crystal ice lamppost, and calculated the income of her part-time job tonight sadly, and her good opinion of the Celts decreased again.

Why did the Confederation have a cold war with Rossevia...... If you are harmed, you will have to smuggle yourself when you travel.

Thinking of this, she turned her head to look out the window again, and the white lighthouse at the pier was still shining blue, and with the white snow around her, it was like a candle poking on a cream cake.

At the beginning, I was looking at this lighthouse, and I came to the first stop of this trip with longing, and then ...... was cheated out of all his net worth by the professional scammers at the docks.

"Nancy, it's almost time, the boss has you ready to perform. ”

Just when the temporary waiter was nostalgic for his bulging wallet, a beautiful "female leopard" in her twenties, with red lips and white teeth, and an incomparably mature figure, walked up to him.

A high-cut coat dressed in golden leopard skin tightly clasped the other party's delicate and bulging body, making her graceful body shake with her steps, exuding a wild and sexy smell.

β€œ......”

Nancy subconsciously looked at the pair of giant peaks that trembled up and down, and then looked at her slightly undulating hills, and her eyes instantly became empty and obscure.

"Nancy, do you hear me?"

The "leopard girl" didn't care about the greedy eyes of the surrounding guests, but threw a few winks at them, and then once again cast her eyes on the newcomer who was working on the other side. I repeated what I had just said:

"Get ready to perform!"

"I see!"

The girl inexplicably felt a wave of humiliation welling up in her heart. Suddenly his chin was raised high. Stepping all the way, he walked to the background like a pile driver.

In order to save enough money and leave the country that made her sad early, Nancy worked another job part-time in addition to being a waitress, and every night at seven o'clock, which was the time period when she officially worked.

Backstage, the person in charge of the castle immediately nodded at the girl. He raised a short hand and shook it, and the golden ring between his fingers made a shining arc in the light.

However, Nancy, who was in a bad mood, did not look at him, walked into her exclusive dressing room without saying a word, and then closed the curtain heavily.

Although he was ignored by the other party, the face of the person in charge was still full of spring breeze, and there was no angry expression at all. In the final analysis, it only depends on the fact that in the few days that this girl is here, the income of the castle exceeds the usual two months combined.

......

Deftly avoiding pedestrians, Nancy, dressed in a gray robe, carried a white high-backed chair and slowly walked back to the middle of the castle hall. Place the chair in the aisle under the chandelier.

The girl lifted her hand and lifted the hood that covered half of her face, revealing her shoulder-length silky purple hair and slender eyebrows. Her eyes were bright, but slightly narrowed, with a hint of spirituality and vitality beyond ordinary people, and her whole face was fair and delicate, and she should be less than twenty years old.

"Miss Nancy is finally on the show!"

"We can't wait!"

"Let's get started!"

Amid the commotion of the crowd, she took out a harp from under her cloak, held it diagonally to her chest, and turned the knob at one end slightly with one hand, and gently plucked the strings with the other, making a light and long tinkling sound.

Figured out the timbre.

Nancy sat up straight, lowered her head slightly, and beat with her feet, her fingers fluttering on the strings, the sound of the piano was short and compact, interspersed with sudden bursts of high notes, sounding lighthearted and bright, even temporarily hiding the bitter cold of winter.

"The strong tea you wanted. ”

The leopard girl held a glass cup with hot tea, handed it to a figure wrapped in a black robe, and asked with a silky look, "Do you need any other services?" ”

A pair of eyes under the black hood looked in the direction of the piano, and after a few seconds, he said in a slurred voice: "No need, thank you......"

The upper echelons of the Highland Kingdom throughout the restaurant began to notice the unexpected music, and their eyes focused on the slender body, and some diners who were far away even left the table to lean in to see what was going on.

Nancy's fingers continued to leap on the strings, pressing them with one hand and playing them with the other, her hair flicking slightly to the rhythm, seemingly completely oblivious to the movement around her.

After the song was played, she finally raised her head and showed a shallow smile: "Fortunately, all the distinguished guests of the Highland Kingdom, please support me for the first time." ”

The girl's voice was playful and sweet, as beautiful as the sound of her harp, and she looked around with smiling eyes, and continued:

"I'm going to sing, a hundred soles. ”

At this point, she squeezed her eyes and smiled a little shyly: "But you can't order songs, because I'm not very familiar with the songs of the Highland Kingdom." ”

"A hundred soles, when her voice is golden,"

Someone was whispering not far away, and his companion seemed to disagree: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't know, Miss Nancy's singing is much more beautiful than the sound of gold colliding." ”

Nancy paused and slapped her forehead suddenly, "Ahh ”

There was an uproar in the castle, and a certain merchant dressed in a black bear fur was the first to shout: "Miss Nancy, it's only been one night, and the price of your song has doubled, are you slaughtering us fools?"

The girl still kept smiling, not at all unhappy: "How can you say that, scarcity is expensive, after tonight, you will never be able to hear my song again, isn't it worth the high price?"

She tilted her head and looked at the doubter with a wicked smile: "Actually, you can find someone to listen to the song together, isn't this also your businessman's favorite method of cooperation." ”

There was a burst of laughter among the onlookers, they did have money, yes, but Thor was a foreign currency, and the reserves in the kingdom were limited, and Miss Nancy didn't want other money, so she was a little helpless.

But a low, hoarse voice came from the corner of the castle:

"Let's sing a song. ”

Nancy looked over the side, the voice coming from a single table, the speaker still facing the wall, half a cup of strong tea in his hand, he brought the cup to his lips, took a sip, put it back on the table, and put his hand to his waist.

Pulling out two banknotes from his fanny bag, he flicked his wrist sharply, and the banknotes flew diagonally into the sky, drawing a slender and blurred parabola in the light, flying over the crowd and shooting in the direction where the girl was sitting, and a slender hand grabbed it in the air:

"Thank you, sir. ”

The girl stuffed the two banknotes into the small bag around her waist, picked up the piano again, and put her hands on the strings: "So, my lordship, what song do you want to hear?"

"Whatever. The tall figure in the corner still didn't turn his head.

"Then let's sing 'Sigfrey's Fall'. ”

The girl's fingers gently hooked the strings, the melody was soft and slow, the tone was crisp but not loud, she raised her head, her lips lightly opened, and her voice was high and long.

β€œ...... When the noble Sigfri drank from the spring/Hagen stabbed him with a cross in the back/The blood of his heart splattered Hagen's whole body from the wound/He committed this crime as a warrior, and there is no one else in the afterlife/He plunged the tip of his spear deep into his heart, / And then fled with great fear/No other warrior had made him flee in such a panic/Sigfrey already knew that he was seriously wounded/The warrior immediately jumped up from the fountain and was furious/A short spear was still stuck in his back/ He wants to reach for his spear or sword / If he gets Hagen's sins, he will be avenged before his eyes......" (To be continued.) )
