The country of the west is pure and beautiful, and only the rich will occasionally pursue gorgeousness, which can be regarded as trying different tastes and pursuing individuality. And the people of the East Country prefer to wear plaid clothes, which is a bit Scottish.

Zhou Shu had already learned about these things in Nikko City, and after arriving in the hinterland of the East Country, he realized it even more obviously.

It's been more than a week since he arrived in the East Country, and thanks to the help of a translator, his accent is very deceptive, although he looks weird, but as long as he speaks when he comes into contact with people, the accent obtained from cheating can cover for him, at least not let him be treated like a monster.

A week's worth of travel in the country wasn't smooth, but at least it didn't cause any trouble.

The search for the king of this country has not progressed much, and no clues have even been found that are related. He has visited six cities, and his main means of finding them is to use the Book of Summons to search for local patrons.

According to Tiddlerum, the king of the East Country is protected by a patron god when he travels, which means that if he finds a city with a patron god, he should be able to find the king.

Unfortunately, the cities he passed through were almost all ordinary people.

Zhou Shu rarely acts alone, and no one follows him during this week, which is a rare thing for him.

His approach to investigation this week is relatively autistic, and he rarely communicates with people in Higashinokuni except for staying in a hotel and buying something to eat.

This kind of autism is wrong, and even killers should not be isolated from society and go it alone, especially if they can't find a target.

Since you can't find your prey. Then move your mouth and look around.

Zhou Shu has been looking for things by himself for a week, mainly because he doesn't like to communicate with people. There were some things he couldn't ask. Now forced to stop, he stopped at a place called Yancheng. Be prepared to ask a little inquire.

'Hey, friend, do you know where the king of your travels has been?'

Such a statement does not seem to be appropriate.

Under a sculpture of a strange old man in the square of Yancheng Administrative District, Master Zhou flicked a gold coin with his thumb very swaggeringly.

He was waiting for someone to talk to him, as long as he waited a little longer, there would be a snake with an eye for money, and he would just ask him directly if there was anything. This way of contacting the little hooligan is the snake bird suing Zhou Shu, which is a relatively new way of communication. At least for him, as long as he stood still, he would attract the rascals like a pretty girl with her big white legs. Now it seems that the appeal has decreased.

Zhou Shu's method of playing coins is also a little rough, a gold coin crackled and fell to the ground many times, and he didn't see anyone running to talk to him, which made him seriously doubt whether the snake bird was playing tricks on himself. Considering that she was a person in that kind of strange organization, she should still have some experience in the rivers and lakes, so Zhou Shu had no choice but to continue to throw the gold coins around.

When the gold coin fell to the ground for the hundredth time, Master Zhou had enough. It would be just over an hour before the sun went down, and he had wasted an entire day. He was tired of pouting his ass and picking up gold coins. Tired of the eccentric behavior of a performance artist, he decided to call it a day and get busy tomorrow. As for the gold coin that rolled away. He didn't even look at it, got up and turned around and left.

The gold coin was trampled on by a boot full of mud shortly after Zhou Shu got up. A hand with a bow and arrow gloves picked up the gold coin, wiped the dust off it, and bit it on a row of white teeth. The gold coin also proved itself with its softness.

"It turned out to be true. Why would that foreigner not even bother to pick up a real gold coin?"

It was a girl who spoke, wearing a cuirass and a forehead guard, dressed as a relatively ordinary warrior, but the equipment was very old and incomplete, and it didn't look like it was as good as it could be.

She was squinting at Zhou Shu's back, holding the gold coin in her hand. She hesitated. Do you want to earn more money from this generous-looking man than this gold coin?

Zhou Shu didn't expect to encounter any useful news in this city, and the scale of this salt city was not very large. It should be regarded as the third or fourth largest city in the area of Higashino Country. These three or four are basically equal to the third and fourth tier cities, after all, there are not many cities in this world. Mostly towns.

He slipped here quite casually, and for days he had been dizzy in the sky, and he had lost his sense of direction. Not to mention that I didn't find the king, I didn't even go to the capital.

He'd be going to have dinner, and then look for an opportunity to run to the nation's capital, looking for clues, and it would be better to stay here than to stay here—

In the direction of the south gate of Yancheng, a carriage transporting split timber is coming from the carriageway that covers the entrance to the city.

Wood was piled up high behind the wagon, but fortunately, the pack horses were young and powerful, and it was not difficult to pull the cart, and the driver did not need to use whips to beckon the pack horses to work.

The carriage stopped some distance from the city gate, and a beautiful girl sitting beside the coachman jumped out of the front seat and bowed deeply to the coachman.

"Thank you so much for giving me a ride. ”

The coachman waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing.

"Then uncle, go to the city, I'll go visit my uncle. ”

The coachman nodded, "I hope your uncle is willing to give you travel expenses, but we have been hoping for a princess in the town." ”

The girl made a helpless expression, worried. "My uncle was kicked out by my father back then, I'm afraid it won't be too easy for me to ......"

"Miss Quexi, I am older than you, and I know those things better than you back then. Don't worry, I know your uncle, and he will definitely be willing to help you. When you get your travel expenses, be sure to find a bodyguard. Maybe there are cheap companions on the Traveler's Alliance, but you should never go, go to the Chamber of Commerce to hire licensed mercenaries. You don't know how long you will have to walk this way, and if you are unlucky, I am afraid that it will last a long time, and I hope you can find the king along the way. ”

The girl's name is Sparrow. The family was originally the owner of a manor in a nearby town, but the East Country was defeated, and the war debt that her father bought was lost. As a result, the family road was completely ruined.

Dilapidated to dilapidated, but the Sparrow family has a very good reason to make a comeback. Because she's a princess!

Three years ago, when she was fifteen years old, she had met the traveling King's procession, and it was a very bright summer, when she was grabbing a pile of paint at the entrance of the town and drawing there, rubbing the colors on the canvas with her fingers.

She liked bright colors, using the red and yellow of the paint, but the landscape in front of her was a gray-yellow wilderness, which looked desolate.

While she was drawing, a young man was watching from the sidelines. Sparrow found this person annoying. It was a traveler, at least not from the town. He stared at it for a long time, but he didn't give a word of praise, and there were always a lot of boys touting when he painted. Although she hated the flattery, she carried the drawing board from the front of the flower bed in the town to the open entrance,

But I can't hear the applause at all, and I'm really a little unaccustomed.

The young man did not intend to remain silent forever, and he quickly spoke.

"Why did you draw such a beautiful picture against the wilderness?"

I was a little dissatisfied with the man's accosting, because it was obviously not a compliment.

"I'm not painting landscapes. It's a mood. That's what Quesi said at the time. After saying that, she used her fingertips to apply a large piece of black paint to the center of the canvas, "Now this is my mood!"

"Black, are you getting unhappy?"

"That's right!"

"So how can I make you happy?"

Finze so far. I don't know how many times I think back to the situation at that time. Even if she thinks about it many times, she thinks it was a romantic day.

The young man was the king, twenty-eight years old, but he had the appearance of seventeen or eighteen. After asking the question, she replied absentmindedly: "If a bronze statue of me could be erected in the town square, I would probably be in a better mood." ”

The young man smiled when he heard this, resumed his silence, and continued to watch Sparrow draw. Early the next morning, a group of craftsmen and painters came to the house. said that it was to measure the figure of Finse.

The Sparrow family had no idea what was going on, and only found out after asking. It turned out that His Majesty the King was in this town, and he was raised by the lord of the town. I want to erect a bronze statue of Quexi in the middle of the town square.

Quexi was betrothed to His Majesty the King and became the eleventh princess. However, she was not yet of royal age for marriage, and the king promised her to stay in the town and wait until she was eighteen years later to marry.

His Majesty the King often heard about the girl he liked during his travels and took him as a concubine. Quexi didn't expect that he was lucky enough to be favored by His Majesty.

When His Majesty the King proposed, she almost screamed. On the night of the engagement, the king had a very unruly affair with her, and after the end of the day, he made her paint naked on the empty walls.

At that time, Quexi painted the canvas in the brightest colors, and it was one of the happiest nights of her life.

Now she is eighteen years old, ready to go to the king's side and become his concubine. She had already been to the capital once, just a few months ago, strictly speaking, on her eighteenth birthday in the Eastern Capital.

When she was old enough, she went to the palace with her vouchers, only to be told that she had changed from an eleventh princess to a twenty-fifth princess. She didn't care about this, but the people in the palace told her that the princess needed to find the king and bring him back from her travels in order to get married.

Having already spent all the money her family had scraped together to go to the Eastern Capital, and could not afford to pay for the extra trip, the palace made an exception to give her some money.

Finding the king is very difficult for Finsi, she needs to find a small town that the king has passed through recently, use the voucher issued to her by the royal palace to ask the lord for the direction of the king's departure, and then move on to the next town or city. The cycle repeats itself until it catches up with His Majesty the King.

She returned home with the money from the palace, and spent most of it on the way home, and the rest was to feed and clothe her family for a few weeks, pay off her debts, and then there was very little left.

She now needs to set out to find the king, but she has no money, so she can only ask for help from her uncle, who has left the family.

The coachman was the former servant of her family, and kindly sent Miss Yuan to Yancheng. It can be regarded as a www.biquge.info of travel pen fun pavilion. He is not very optimistic about this trip of Quexi, it is difficult for a girl to go out without accidents.

There is no travel expense for the family to accompany the search. You can only gamble on the road alone. In fact, she was also a person who went to the Western Capital before, and spent money to find a partner with the same destination in the Travelers' Guild. Went on the road together, and nothing happened to take care of each other along the way.

Perhaps it was her luck that she found a retired female officer who had returned home. Although there were many dangers on the way, they were all cut down by a female officer's long sword, and Quexi covered her eyes with her hands on the side, not even seeing any blood.

The coachman obviously didn't think that his young lady had such good luck this time, and she hired a special bodyguard from the Chamber of Commerce. As for the money, it would be good to find the king and ask the king for it.

Fincy said goodbye to the coachman. I went to my uncle's manor in the suburbs to look for someone, and prayed in my heart that I could ask for more money from my uncle, so that my journey would be more comfortable and smooth.

Zhou Shu ordered grilled dried fish and fruit wine in the hotel restaurant where he stayed, and ate dinner with a disgusted face.

There are many river fish bones, Zhou Shu doesn't like it, in fact, he also loves to eat sea fish, and he doesn't like fish very much. If it hadn't been for the manager's recommendation, he would have fooled the meal with sweet bread and the luncheon meat he brought.

Now that the recommended things are served, he thinks it might as well fool around.

Eating dry fish and drinking wine that is far less delicious than fruit juice. Master Zhou thought that he had been playing with himself stupidly all day and tossing coins, and his mood was extremely low.

As he crunched and chewed on the bones, a man slapped his sword on his seat. Then he sat down and said, 'Can we have a table?'

"Yes, you can. Zhou Shu heard that it was a girl who spoke, and he agreed directly before he had time to see the appearance of others.

After saying this, he looked up, and it was still a girl with good facial features, and it was still quite pleasing to the eye, and this meal finally had something to be happy about.

The swordswoman ordered her meal, just a few sprigs of roasted corn. Now that the corn is just ripe, it's time to eat it. But in the country of the east. Corn is considered the lowest grade of food.

Zhou Shu looked at the corn that was served, a little envious. So I asked for two.

"You're so rich and still eat such things as grilled fish and rice?" the female swordsman looked puzzled and asked very familiarly.

"I just like to eat corn. Looks better than my fish. ”

"Weirdos. The swordswoman stuffed a half-eaten piece of corn into Zhou Shu's wooden plate, then grabbed a grilled fish. "Since you say so, let's exchange it!"

Zhou Shu looked at the tooth marks on the corn cob, and was a little uncomfortable. However, after seeing the figure of the girl in front of him in the Book of Summoning, he ate the corn from the tooth mark of the female swordsman with a good appetite.

The female swordsman seemed to see Zhou Shu's generous nature, and after catching a fish and falling into her stomach, she silently caught another one, and took Zhou Shu's wine glass, and drank it with a grunt.

Master Zhou doesn't mind her eating and drinking, men are always very tolerant of beautiful women who take the initiative, especially him.

The female swordsman ate and drank to her heart's content, and Zhou Shu nibbled on a belly of corn kernels, and both of them were very happy. The female swordsman was happy that Zhou Shu didn't know, but he himself thought that the new corn was very delicious, and he could continue to eat it tomorrow.

"Hello, Outlander. Thank you for treating me to a meal. The female swordsman looked at Zhou Shu in front of her with a smile and reported her name. "My name is Ouna, and as you can see I am a ranger. ”

It's not the first time Zhou Shu has seen such a thing as a ranger, and the sweater girl Eagle also called herself a ranger before she made trouble. Seeing that the girl introduced herself politely, he also replied politely.

"My name is Zhou Shu, and as you can see, I'm a ...... Uh...... "Zhou Shu really didn't design a fake identity for himself. As a killer, he didn't even forget about this kind of thing, and he felt as if he was a little stupid. "Uh, guess what I'm doing?" he very wittily decided to leave the problem to Ouna in front of him to solve.

"Zhou Shu? It's really a typical seafarer name, and it's so awkward to pronounce. ”

"One another. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, you're a merchant?" Ou Na pinched her chin and thought, quickly refuting her guess, "but you don't have the feeling of a merchant." Are you a foreign missionary? If so, I'm afraid you're going to come in vain, because our faith is very strong. And now is a critical time for God to test us. ”

Missionary...... Zhou Shu felt that this identity seemed to be quite good. I am very grateful to the girl in front of me for helping me think of a more reasonable explanation. Seeing the girl in front of him looking at the ceiling with a reverent face, as if there was some kind of fairy floating there, Zhou Shu said pretentiously: "I will not force anyone to accept my faith." Just want to help people who are in need. ”

"That's right...... Ou Na nodded, "Actually, I'm having some trouble right now. I don't know if you can help me. ”

Zhou Shu is a person who enters the play very quickly, and immediately put on a kind appearance and said, "I can talk to you." ”

Ou Na said that she got some windfall today, and it didn't hurt the sky, but she still felt guilty after accepting it.

"This one. Since you haven't done anything that violates your conscience, morality, and the law, maybe the windfall is a gift from God, so take it and take it, and you don't need to worry too much. ”

Master Zhou looked like a god. Even if he saw the true God in his life, he would be a staunch atheist, and it was impossible for him to believe in anything, so he didn't pretend to be particularly atheistic.

He, a young man born under the red flag, was propagandized since he was a child that religion is a liar with gods and ghosts, and that only science is the truth.

When he grew up, he slowly understood that the teacher who told him so when he was a child was a liar who didn't learn and didn't know how to learn, and he also knew that religion and science were not contradictory, although there were some collisions and frictions in history, but there were many helps. But unfortunately, his brain could no longer accommodate such a thing as faith. At least traditional religion has no effect, and you can only be an atheist with peace of mind and never waver.

Zhou Shu finished his nonsense, and then looked at Ou Na with a black line on his face and pinched out a gold coin. The one of your own.

"This is my ill-gotten gains, missionary. Thank you so much for your enlightenment, I can now convince myself to use this money. ”

Zhou Shu suddenly felt that the guy in front of him was very interesting, he didn't run away after picking up the money, he actually came to set himself up, and had a meal with himself.

He waved his hand with a smile, "If you are talking about this gold coin, it will be considered a good reward for you, and I hope you can maintain a good and upright temperament." ”

"God is mocking me?" said Ou Na, too, making a joke.

"I'm being sarcastic about you. ”

"Distressed, want this money back?"

"It's not a 'pen'. ”

"That's real gold!!"

"Oh well. If you want me to ask you to get this money back. You could go on and on about its value. ”

Ou Na didn't plan to return this gold coin at all, if Zhou Shu really wanted to ask for it. She rushed straight out of the hotel, confident in her steps.

She contacted Zhou Shu this time to earn more gold coins. She was already convinced of the temptation just now. This man is quite generous and unruly in his possessions. First, he allowed himself to exchange grilled fish with him for something that was obviously cheap, and he did not complain or show displeasure about the corn he had eaten, and even ate most of the corn he had left.

If you were an ordinary man, you would probably say things like 'It's not fair to exchange corn for my fish' or 'You've eaten this corn, give me another one'. The introverts will also show their displeasure and put their corn aside.

In Ou Na's opinion, the man in front of her is definitely a very perfect gold owner. If he hadn't had a strange seafarer face, Ou Na would have even wondered if this guy was a traveling king.

"Mr. Missionary. Ou Na smiled and looked at Zhou Shu, who seemed to be very wronged, "I don't know if you have encountered any trouble, I saw you throw gold coins before, you should want to seek help from mercenaries, right? ”

Zhou Shu is not very interested in mercenaries and does not reject fighting, as long as he can come to a random snake and discuss the king's whereabouts with himself. He doesn't have any clues, and he doesn't even have any idea about the country.

"If you need help, I'll let me help. However, the fee is a little expensive. ”

It was the first time Zhou Shu saw a woman and said that her charges were a bit expensive, and she was also inadvertently connected to a healthy tertiary industry. In the Book of Summoning, we can look at the comprehensive essence of Ou Na's body...... Zhou Shu stared at the content of the book and couldn't help but nodded, "It's as expensive as it should be, it should be."
