17. The Strange Messenger and the Strange Letter (I)
On the top floor of the gold-encrusted rose, Elevenn was lying on the sofa with his body leaning, holding a piece of letter paper made of unknown materials in his hand, which looked like the rune leaves used by the elves in the forests that were almost as old as this world on the World Island, soft, light and tough, but in some details it was different from what he saw in the book, the smell of the letter paper was a slightly pungent scent of ink, not the incense commonly used by the elves or the incense used by the ancient nobles. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It's a pity that the appraisal of the Book of Ten Thousand Laws can't be used, otherwise it wouldn't be so black-eyed. ”
Elivan rubbed the corners of his tired brows, and put the letter paper on the table, Wendy was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen, and in the corner of the house, the instruments and materials he used to use had been collected by category, and the storage ring on his finger was already full of various materials used in the long journey, he glanced at the house he had lived in for almost three years with a little affection, and then withdrew his gaze, intending to take advantage of the time before eating to squint for a while, the events of a few hours ago not only caused Pars's mind to suffer a heavy blow, but also made him feel tired。
Yes, Eliven and Wendy are ready to leave Bordeaux City, although staying in Bordeaux City will be fully protected by the goddess Waukin, but this time he really can't go, because there is something he has to do waiting for him.
The specifics of the matter began the previous afternoon.
After instructing Pars to send the invitation, Wendy walked to the elevator with Eleven, and after a few minutes of gentle landing, the two of them came to the casino under the golden-trimmed roses, the operation of which had been handed over to the priests of the Church of Waukin, and there was no better place to accumulate wealth than the goddess who encouraged the faithful to chase money.
The far-sighted goddess even openly invited her friend Lady Luck Tymorrah to set up a small mission in the casino, and after only more than two months, the lucky church, which had a large number of believers, began to send formal pastors to these humble mission sites, and the two goddesses who secretly hooked up together sent oracles at the same time, so large and small, received the "divine grace" of the business license issued by the Waujin church and the lucky church Casinos began to appear in other parts of the continent, not as dark and dirty as the previous casinos, but simply beautiful and tidy like paradise, so they soon became a favorite pastime for the upper class who loved to gamble.
Since the gray plains picked up a life, Elevan, who returned to Bordeaux City, was relieved to hide a few of his shady friends in the guest rooms of the casino, because this place was also concerned by the two medium-powered gods of Wogin and Tamoura, so few stalkers or bounty hunters dared to enter here to find out the news, so it was very safe for Ratel to stay here.
Coupled with the gold-studded roses, this is almost a five-star service in the previous life, so there is almost no difference between them hiding in the ground and living in the guest room, three meals a day are sent directly to the room by the specially trained internal personnel of the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce, and when they are not feeling well, there are also skilled doctors and pharmacists to serve at any time, and when they are bored, they go out to gamble with those well-dressed guys, and they are really uncomfortable, so they find a few high-level dancers who stay in the casino all the year round and wait for business for recreation, of course, in the end, this Elevan doesn't care, Rattle They can only pay the bills by themselves, but Rao is so, this is inRattle and Roman, who have lived in the "Divine Grace" casino for half a month, and Andre are also quite happy, especially the last one, who stays at the table with a delicate alien helmet almost every day, and he will never come down if he can't lose his chips.
Although Andre is burdened with his mother's heavy hatred, the poor child who was born in a poor place on the barren stone plateau, when has he ever seen the prosperous scenery of the gold-inlaid roses, the highest level of gold selling grottoes in the mainland, and being taken by Rattle and Roman, two guys who are definitely not good people, they quickly learned to drink and smoke, play cards and scold the streets, but fortunately, the old K group is not a puritanical organization, as long as they don't die, Eleven doesn't bother to care what they do every day.
As a result, when Wendy helped Eliven into the luxurious suite of three people, he saw that he was dizzy and drunk, and the drunken Rattle and Andre were scuffling together, and the two of them did not use other strength, they simply squeezed together with the strength of their bodies, trying to trip each other like wrestling, while Roman, who was wearing a sloppy pajamas, was squatting on the bar like a drunken horse monkey, holding a bottle of dwarf ale in his hand and shouting cheers, and he didn't know who he was supporting, anyway, the shouting was in full swing, Roman's imp Prius propped his hands on the brim of a large wine glass, almost immersed his big head in the red wine, after drinking a full stomach, he staggered off the bar, and then sneakily lay in the corner not knowing what he was doing, his mouth full of spiritual words and chirping, and from time to time he let out a ghostly crying scream, and the lavishly decorated room was littered with their own clothes, dancers' clothes, and a large number of chips, gold coins, the paper money used by the Wojin Church to exchange gold coins, and all kinds of wine bottles, dinner plates, in short, it was like a pig's nest。
"Tut-tut. ”
Elevenn shook his head and sighed, he had also heard the little supervisors complain that these guys were playing crazy these days, but he didn't expect them to be so good at playing, and he was still thinking of discussing some things with the three people who had just recovered from this serious illness, and seeing how they looked, it was estimated that they would be awake until tomorrow morning, so he simply turned out of the room with Wendy, planning to come over again tomorrow morning.
"These friends of yours have lost almost 100,000 gold coins in the past half a month, don't you care?"
Wendy chuckled and helped Eliven pat the dust off his shoulder, and then asked him with interest, this little girl has been mixed in the underground world of Bordeaux City since she was a child, so she didn't seem to care about the rude behavior of Rattle's people, but after listening to Eliven tell them about their experience, she thanked the three of them very much, and now it seems that the complaint is just a joke between the two young couples, and Eliven observed with interest the laughter, scolding and frolicking of those people in the casino, and hugged Wendy's thin waist without care,
"Just let them play, just the big trouble in Sam City, the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce owes them a lot of favors, Uncle Vince and Daddy Hall are not unsympathetic people, I dare to say, as long as Rattle and a few of them agree to become the guests of the Chamber of Commerce, let alone 100,000 gold coins, even if it is five times more, Uncle Vince will smile and meet all their requirements, these guys, hum, are all talents. ”
As he spoke, Eleven's hand began to be dishonest, and as a result, it was immediately exchanged for Wendy's charming eyes, the little girl's posture made Elivan flutter for a moment, and then laughed, and kissed Wendy's ear, and the intimate and warm two people walked out of the casino with a smile, and then Elevenn looked at the sky that had darkened outside the gold-encrusted rose, and didn't know how to move, so he said to Wendy,
"Let's go out for a walk, let's go to the old town, I haven't been with you for a long time. ”
Wendy thought for a moment, then tilted her head and nodded, she walked to the front desk and said something to the leather-clad hostess, and the young man quickly ran into the hall on the first floor, and after a short time he walked out with a strange-looking wheelchair and handed it to Wendy respectfully.
"Get in the car, my warrior. ”
Wendy put the wheelchair at Eleven's feet, looked at the strange expression on his eyebrows, covered his mouth and chuckled, and then reached out to pull up a strand of his hair that had fallen, just looked at him so crisply, Elevenn also held back a smile, changed the cane to his left hand, and sat down with his right hand holding the handle of the wheelchair, then turned his head to look at Wendy, and whispered,
"As you wish!
Soon, the people who came and went at the gate of the gold-encrusted roses saw the famous "Ice Beauty with Gold-inlaid Roses" Miss Wendy pushing a young man of her age, sitting in a wheelchair with a happy smile, and the two were walking on the road talking and laughing, as if they did not care about the passers-by who looked at them with strange eyes.
And Wendy's fanatical admirers and suitors were almost crazy when they saw this scene, and they wanted to pounce on it and tear the scum of their goddess to shreds, but after seeing the tragic lesson of a few impulsive young men who were pressed to the ground by the strong men in black who were hiding in the crowd as soon as they took a few steps, these people quickly calmed down, although their eyes were still on Wendy, who was wearing a tight black dress, but they didn't dare to make any other movements, as for Eleven, most of them gave him a blessing in their hearts before leaving。
"Good luck and damned lame, curse you to break even your third leg! now!"
Elivan, who had finally been a full-fledged person in another world, was a little unaccustomed to this kind of high-profile scene at first, and only relaxed after walking out of twenty minutes, at this time they had entered the old city where the pace of life was more than that of the commercial district, and most of the people living here were peaceful old people and some noble ladies at home, and these cultured people would not be as careless as those hot-blooded young people, so the eyes gathered on the two of them were finally a lot less.
"Ah, I really didn't expect my little Wendy to have so many suitors, tsk, it looks like I'm really lucky!"
Sitting in a wheelchair, Elevenn tilted his head to look at Wendy, whose face was slightly red, who noticed Eleven's playful eyes, and immediately patted Eleven's shoulder with his hand.
"Yes, some lucky fellow has deceived me for five years with just a loaf of bread and a glass of milk!
This arrogant appearance is difficult to see in Wendy, who has a very independent personality, so even Eleven, who has been glued together all day, is a little sluggish, but he quickly reacted, shook his head and snorted with a coquettish expression, and then pointed to the young people who were playing the music he had made on the river beach not far away, and motioned for Wendy to push him there.
These young people who gather here all year round are a part of the scenery of Bordeaux's old town, and they are in fact troubadours from all over the central part of the continent, who play here not only to support their families, but more importantly to show the most famous troubadours in the mainland. Vasatin Bordeaux tribute, this troubadour who has been dead for almost two hundred years is one of the most peculiar of all the immortal legends of the entire continent, he has participated in many earth-shattering events, he was born in Bordeaux and died in this city, his legend is not something that can be told overnight, and we will talk about it slowly in the following stories.
Wendy pushed Elivan to the riverbank, she was also curious about what Elivan was going to do, but this guy just said something to a young man who was sitting next to him and rested, so he borrowed the nine-stringed instrument that the young man was carrying, and then held the nine-stringed instrument in his arms with a strange momentum, and spent about five minutes tuning the timbre, and gently plucked his hands on the nine strings, and a gentle, heavy and beautiful tune flowed out of Eleven's fingertips, and his slightly hoarse voice also cooperated with this song full of sadness and true feelings to flow slowly in the air,
“everynightinmydreams,”
“iseeyou,ifeelyou”
“thatishowiknowyougoon”
“......”
“andmyheart,willgoonandon”
Although the cultures of the two worlds are completely different, and there is a slight gap in the understanding of beauty, but in the part of music, the understanding of the most touching feelings is figured out, so in Elivan's sometimes gentle, sometimes high voice, in that song that seems to be able to wash people's hearts, all the troubadours who are playing around have subconsciously stopped the instruments in their hands, and even the old people who are sitting on the river beach to enjoy the scenery and drink a cup of afternoon tea have also stood up, but no one is willing to interrupt this beautiful moment, although they can't understand this strange language, but the song carries a touch of unrepentance for the lost love, for the once beautiful attachment, but deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts.
"What's the name of this song?
Wendy was holding Elivan's arm and shaking like an innocent little girl at the moment, and Elivan pinched her nose dotingly, casually put the lyre in the hand of the sluggish young man, and then nodded his chest with his free hand, and then nodded Wendy's forehead,
"My heart is eternal", my heart until eternity. ”
Wendy was really moved, the little frustration that Elivan had not responded to her question positively had already been known to be thrown somewhere, she leaned down, and the two of them intersected their lips and teeth, until several minutes later, it ended in the applause, cheers and whistles of the surrounding people, Wendy, who was flushed, hurriedly stood up, pushed and Elevenn walked briskly out of the river beach, while Elivan, who was in a wheelchair, squeezed his eyebrows and waved to the onlookers who were full of friendly and blessed faces, which triggered another enthusiastic whistle。
"Let's go, let's go back!"
Elavin turned his head with a grin and said to Wendy, who was covered in frost, and as a result, he received a big white eye, but he laughed disapprovingly, shaking his head and humming a weird "My heart is eternal" Let Wendy push him around the old town, but after a circle, Wendy was not tired, but Elevan in a wheelchair, with all kinds of snacks and small bits and pieces in his arms, which was the trophy after Wendy almost swept all the way through the famous flavor snack street in the old town, although these things were finally distributed to those begging beggars in the end, but this did not prevent her from asking Elevan to do his duty as a boyfriend and put all these things into his arms.
But it's nothing, after all, it's all gadgets, and it's not enough to make Elevenn feel stressed, the two of them are very happy like the young couples who can be seen everywhere in Bordeaux, and they did have a good time this afternoon, even Eleven, who has never liked to show his head, surprisingly felt very fulfilling, but the only problem was that he had too much fun, so when the two of them were ready to go back, it was already midnight in the starry night sky, and there were no pedestrians on the streets, so Elavin simply picked up his cane, and the two of them helped each other to walk to the little beggars who gathered on the edge of the abandoned streets of the old town and lived by begging, gave them all the food in a wheelchair, and then gave the wheelchair to a poor old gentleman who lives nearby who has been taking care of these homeless children.
In the past five years, Elivin and Wendy will come over to see this batch of little beggars when they have time, and when they are a little older, and then decide to go out of Bordeaux City to find the future, Elavin will also give them the necessary help, but every time they do these things, the feeling is completely different, the only thing is that kind of fulfillment and happiness, which cannot be compared to doing anything else, including killing those blood feuds with their own hands, the latter can only give him emptiness!
The two of them walked on the stone bridge that connected the business district and the old town while waltzing full of mistakes, but at the moment of getting on the bridge, Elivan's cane flung to the right, protecting Wendy behind him, because at this time, on the stone bridge that should have been empty, there was a strange figure, it seemed to be a trembling fat guy, talking with his hands folded.
And that guy was still wearing a dark black dress in this dark and moonless night, if it wasn't for the slight watery elemental fluctuations that Ellevin felt from him for the first time, he really wouldn't have been able to detect him, Elavin turned his head slightly and said to Wendy
"You stand back first, I'll take a look!"
"No! I'm with you!"
Wendy grabbed Eleven's hand resolutely, and with a slight grasp of the small bag she was carrying, a small silver pistol appeared in her hand.
"I can protect myself!"
Eliven nodded, and the two of them approached the trembling figure step by step, but when they got closer to the guy less than five meters, the man was still trembling, and he didn't seem to realize the approach of the two at all, just closed his eyes, counting down the numbers one by one,
“5、4、3、2、1!”
When he heard what the guy was talking about, Elivan only cared about pulling out the staff and sword in his hand and protecting it in front of Wendy, who was probing his brain, which reflected in Eleven's mind was full of human bombs, explosions and other messy content, but after waiting for five seconds, he found that nothing had happened, and the night breeze of Xi Xi gently blew his forehead, and at the same time gently wiped away the two or three drops of cold sweat.
And the fat man who had finished counting down immediately opened his eyes, looked left and right in horror, and when he saw Elivan standing not far away, the panicked feeling that had been permeating his body subsided, this sweaty guy almost jumped directly in front of Elivan from where he was standing, and then staggered, and quickly stabilized his figure, tremblingly took out a scroll from his arms, his face was full of flattering smiles, and then handed his hands to the bewildered Eleven.
"It's... Someone... For you....take it...!"
