Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Town of Wards
After returning from the blacksmith shop in Milan, Wang Cuo has been preoccupied, and Vianna and Yuffie seem to have noticed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info so I've been obedient and haven't played anymore. Yuffie wanted to ask, but never found a chance to ask.
When they were separated, Wang Cuo asked Yuffie to continue to help with the bank's daily business, and Vianna originally wanted to go with Wang Cuo, but was rejected by the other party with some things to deal with.
"Today is the day Marshal Zorn leaves, and the Lord of Torre will definitely go to the docks to see him off. You go over too, how to say that you are a member of the Roswell family, and you must be a good example of Vanna City. Wang said to Vianna.
She nodded, "Well, take care then...... Is it really okay?" Vianna thought for a moment, feeling that the other party was preoccupied.
"It's okay, it's a matter of bank investment, and I need to plan it. The king mistakenly came up with a reasonable excuse.
"Well, that's good. If there's anything you can do to help, be sure to let me know. Vianna stepped into the carriage and turned back.
"Definitely!"
Seeing Vianna leave, Wang Cuo returned to his home.
Wang Cuo has been thinking about the news that Milan revealed to him, the alchemist family, Lazer. Could it be that Viscount André's death had anything to do with them? He remembered the red-haired figure in the carriage, a woman with a scarlet complexion but a bewitching figure, probably the most sensual woman he had ever seen.
Could she be an alchemist? carrion potion, demon essence ore, combing through scattered pieces of information.
It was getting dark again, and when it was a little later, Yuffie would always come back with a large volume of information. It is said that she has to check the bank accounts every day. It saved Wang Cuo a lot of work time.
"What's wrong with you today? Yuffie said, putting down the information in his hand.
There were still beads of sweat on her forehead, and Wang Cuo stretched out his hand to wipe the other party, but was blocked in mid-air.
"I'll do it myself. Yuffie said with a blushing face, his eyes looking at his feet, as if searching for something.
"What about you...... What's wrong?" Yuffie wiped his face with a hot cotton towel and wiped the corner of Wang Cuo's clothes a few more times...... Suddenly, the hand stopped.
"I ...... It's just a little dirty to look at. She said with her head down.
"Hmm. Wang Cuo replied calmly, which eased Yuffie's nervousness, and she continued to wipe even the slightest stain from the corner of her clothes. A small black dot has to be rubbed many times.
"Do you know the Lazer family?" asked Wang Cuo suddenly.
"The alchemists of Wardstown, why would you ask about them?" Yuffie stopped moving.
"Once before, I wondered if I could ask them for help with the investment in the blacksmith shop, after all, some alchemy materials will also be purchased in the blacksmith shop. "Although Wang Cuo didn't know anything about alchemy, he had seen the Lazer family buy something at the blacksmith shop at least once, so he casually made an excuse.
Unexpectedly, Yuffie's reaction was very excited. "Listen, Wang is wrong. You should never get involved with that family. The expression was firm and unmistakable.
"What's wrong with them?, what's wrong with the Lazer family?" Yuffie's reaction made Wang Cuo even more strange.
"They are not normal people!" looked at Wang Cuo as if he was not satisfied with his answer, "The Lazer family, for hundreds of years, has been a family that has been engaged in alchemy for hundreds of years, in fact, there are many potions placed in the adventurer's hall, although the merchants say that they are elven potions, but in fact, they are not elven potions at all. All were shipped from the town of Wards and belonged to the Lazel family. ”
"It doesn't matter. "Businessmen are profit-seeking, sometimes they deduct water, and there are many things that are too high quality in disguise. As long as the apothecary is effective, whether it is the elven potion or the elixir of the Lazer family, the adventurers will not care.
"That's not the problem...... The earliest Lazer family was able to save the then lord of Roswell, who was Vianna's grandfather. Obtained the right to reside in the city of Vanna, but the family did not like to associate with others, and the way of doing things was very dark. It is said that more than fifty years ago, Lazer's descendants used potions to charm a noble woman...... So, the entire family was sanctioned, but there was no better apothecary in the whole of Vanna City than the Lazer family, so they were banished to small towns outside the city. Yuffie explained to the king.
I know that I am not a good person, but I can't let go of the value of the other party. It's a very sensible political move.
"So you don't have anything to do with that family, who knows what they're secretly doing to hook up. It's just that they have been stared at by the Mage Association, and they haven't made too many moves, so no one cares about them. Yuffie said with a warning.
"The Wizards' Guild is also staring at them?"
"Hmm...... As the archmage of Vanna City, although you rarely participate in the activities of the Wizards Association, you are still the most talented mage in the entire city, so don't have anything to do with them and ruin your future. ”
This time Yuffie's warning was more serious.
"I understand. Wang Cuo nodded.
..................
At night, the towers of the Adventurer's Hall still flickered with defensive ripples every day.
After so many days, the Wizards' Association has not done anything at all. Still haven't found the root cause of the threat to the city!
Wang Cuo still couldn't worry about the Lazer family. He instinctively felt that the Lazer family had something to do with the incident...... Do you want to check it out? Although the viscount didn't care about his death, the Lazer family made it difficult for them to settle down.
"Mora, stay at the door and don't let Yuffie come. The king mistakenly commanded, and used an afterimage to stay at home. This is already a way to save his life, one afterimage can only exist for about an hour, and he can currently release two afterimages. If you use it again, the first one will disappear. So I can only add one more on the way, so as not to quickly flee the scene when the time is up.
The town of Wards is two kilometers away from Vanna City, northwest of the city. In fact, long ago, standing on the tower of the adventurer's hall, he had already seen the house in the distance. The visual distance is not very far, and the continuous use of flickering and black fog rushes...... After night, the city gate was closed, and Wang Cuo flew out of the city with the help of the black mist's flying ability, counting the time.
At about a similar distance, another remnant was placed on the tree.
The sound of crickets was everywhere, and when we arrived outside the city, there was no light. With the help of his own eyes, Wang Cuo can still walk clearly.
It must be reached in half an hour, and counting the time it takes for your afterimage to disappear, the safest thing is to reach Wards Town in half an hour...... The air began to get cold, and Wang Cuo felt that it looked quite close, but it was really far away. The woods are also very numerous and overgrown with weeds. It's almost like an abandoned road that hasn't been walked for a long time.
It is said that it is a small town, but there is not a single house around, all of them are tall trees, and those things that used to look like houses from a distance are all abandoned houses, and the walls of the yard are broken, and the yard is full of weeds.
It's even a little eerie.
Light!
A little bit of sporadic light.
It appeared in front of Wang Cuo, and then a tall ancient castle came into view, surrounded by artificially excavated water. If it weren't for the point of light, Wang Cuo would have thought that no one would live there...... Because the castle is surrounded by vegetation, the walls are covered with vines. No one cares!
When you get closer, you can smell a pungent smell between your noses!
This is probably where the Lazer family lives, Wang Cuo thinks with great certainty.
