Book 326 What is the magician hiding?
Zhou Shutong's little affair with the sick princess didn't last long, and the long beard, who knew that he couldn't earn the difference in the price of the two people, casually called a familiar townsman of Shui Wai Town, and asked him to drive the three of his people to the town.
What Long Beard said has no friends, no one wants to carry it is pure, Shui Wai Town itself is a place where merchants gather, and what they eat is the bowl of rice of tourists. It's a bad season, and the old men in nearby Rozeravin don't want to move their butts on the recliners in front of the fireplace, and their income is terrible, and they wish someone would come to stay and spend money for a while.
After rowing for nearly twenty minutes, Zhou Shu and the sick princess landed in a small town like an isolated island in the middle of the lake. It is divided into four islands, all of which are about the same size, and are connected by waterways and wooden bridges in the middle.
Zhou Shu looked around and admired the buildings with a strong sense of the times: "This town is very beautiful. ”
This compliment did not resonate with the sick princess and Longbeard, who felt that this town was not as comfortable as a metropolis like Rozelaven, and that the two men looked like a big city, and only those there would like this rustic tone. The sick princess was even more accustomed to seeing the huge tower buildings of Zhou Shuguo, and felt that this guy was mocking his own country by saying this at this time.
Ignoring the inferiority complex of the two, Master Zhou followed Changsu to his house with great interest.
Surprisingly, the long beard home is clean and tidy, like a dozen old maids with heavy cleanliness, not to mention spotless, and the furniture and accessories in the house are simple and surprising. Of course, a large part of this is due to the fact that there are no furnishings in his house at all.
This eerily clean Cheng dù is a mystery, but the answer soon emerges. Long Beard pulls out the key to open the door, and a girl about the same age as the knife team runs out of the backyard with a wooden basin of dirty clothes, calls out to her dad and runs away.
This father definitely didn't shout at Zhou Shu, the sick princess didn't expect that this crooked man with cracked melons and jujubes would give birth to such a lovely daughter, should she ask the temple to take care of the family? lest this father lack money one day and sell his daughter to others as slaves.
The sick princess thinks a little too much. Nagabeard invited the two to sit down at a table in the dining room, the only place in his house where there was a table to entertain guests. He tossed out a few pieces of drawing paper and a carbon rod, and without saying a word, he drew portraits on the paper.
"What does this mean?" the sick princess stared at the outline that was soon sketched.
Long Beard suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly, and pointed to a half-human-tall portrait standing by the wall, which depicted a family of three, and the man could vaguely see that it was much cleaner and neater. The woman was holding a milk baby in her hand, and the three of them had happy expressions.
"I used to be a painter in the town, but now that I've drunk too much and my hands are shaking, I can't touch the paint anymore, so it's okay with the carbon stick. ”
The two of them didn't know what he was talking about, and quietly watched as he painted with a charcoal stick and wiped with his fingers. After a while, the two recognized the appearance of the man in the portrait.
Nagabeard slapped the mediocre painting on the table, and smiled like a profiteer, "The explosion that the two of you are interested in." It's this person who caused it. I was there, I almost witnessed the whole process, do you need me to tell you about it?"
Zhou Shu and the sick princess stared at the portrait of Kuaishou on the table, feeling that their luck was not bad, and they met such an enthusiastic crowd.
Nagabeard saw the two nodding and shouted into the backyard, "Hana, go buy some refreshments." ”
The little girl named Hana ran over. Unbuttoned her apron and reached out to her father for money.
Long beard pointed at Zhou Shu with his chin, which means 'money asks this person to ask for it'.
Zhou Shu felt that if he remembered correctly. He seems to have heard the name Hana before, and it seems to be an ordinary name with a high rate of duplicate names. He took out a bag of silver full moon and threw it to the little girl, so that the girl's knees were so weak and nervous that she almost forgot how to walk, and after chattering for a while, she ran back to the backyard to collect the money, and only pinched a silver coin to go out to buy something.
Zhou Shu and the sick princess are not short of money, and they are willing to be generous in front of those who help them. Longbeard never thought that these two would be so rich. Originally, he was just going to get ten days and half a month's rations, but he didn't expect that this would be enough to eat for ten years.
With the money, Nagabeard naturally knows everything about what he sees. He was originally a painter and was very good at communicating with people, and a clumsy person could not do this kind of work that required bargaining with customers. It's the same for those who do the service industry.
According to Nagabeard, the fast hands in his paintings fly down from the sky. The fact that he can remember and draw a quick hand at a glance is enough to prove that his talent as a portrait painter is still very good.
At that time, Nagabeard was wandering around the fence of the Two Realms Gate, trying to find out if there was a loose fence that he could steal and sell the money for, but when he looked up, he saw a man in the sky smashing into the vicinity of the huge steel gate inside the wall.
Zhou Shu recalled the state of vegetation around the Gate of the Two Realms, where there were many trees that were so large that their branches could walk in a carriage. Even he can jump in, if Kuaishou really cultivates to 300,000 summon points, he will probably already have a series of yang level or a fourth series of moon level, it will definitely be easier than jumping by himself.
The sound of Kuaishou's landing was obviously not the explosion, a magician who caused the explosion, and Nagasu saw a middle-aged woman flying in the air on a metal shoe, and the tail of the shoe couldn't help but slam into Kuaishou.
Speaking of a middle-aged woman, or a magician, Zhou Shu and the sick princess remembered the guy who drove him away. If she really got into a fight with Kuaishou, then she wouldn't be blamed for her temper.
The woman's scorpion tail was grabbed by Kuaishou and torn off. At the moment of tearing, the severed tail exploded, making an earth-shattering sound, and in addition to this, an extremely bright light accompanied it, illuminating the entire forest.
At that time, Nagasu was afraid that he would be blind when he saw this light, so he quickly closed his eyes. When he opened it again, the two of them were gone, and instead a bunch of other magicians had come over, pointing around the place where the explosion had occurred, not knowing what they were doing.
Zhou Shu knew the next thing, and Changsu was stunned and didn't leave, waiting until Zhou Shu and the sick princess came over. He saw that the two of them seemed to be a little interested in what he was seeing, and after sneaking around for a while and feeling that there was no danger, he directly followed and stopped the two.
When Master Zhou heard this, he realized that he remembered to use the Book of Summoning to probe Kuaishou. Is it still nearby, is it still alive?
He wasn't optimistic about this guy, how much ability did he have to escape from the wizard and witch of Rasputin's family? But the facts disappointed him, although Kuaishou was not currently in the detectable range, his body was indeed still alive. There can be no mistake with that.
The sick princess urged Longbeard to think about whether there were any other details worth telling.
Long Beard thought about it seriously and said that there was nothing to be called a detail except that the weather was good, the iron gate was not loosened, and a fat rabbit ran by him but did not catch it.
After hearing this, Zhou Shu felt that this Baiyue Kingdom seemed to be in big trouble again. Obviously, the Two Realms Gate has been coveted by Kuaishou, as for whether he knows the importance of this thing. Then it is unknown.
The only thing that is certain is that the unlucky egg of the fir princess failed to escape from under Aleusha's iron ball, and now an elder of the Aleusha family has failed to leave Kuaishou, a guy who was just a speed-type martial artist before, this information gives Zhou Shu a feeling that this world is about to change.
After hearing these things, the daughter named Hana came back with a pile of food, and she was excited to prepare to eat.
The girl did not go to church school, but washed clothes at home to earn money, that is, the legendary washerwoman. She loved the cleanliness. I also like to wash things, but I don't think this job is any hard. It's just that she hasn't been able to eat anything good every day for a while now, which makes her sad.
Zhou Shu and the sick princess smiled and refused the drinks and snacks offered by the girl, thanked Changsu and said goodbye and left, and the two walked on the undulating path of Shui Wai Town, discussing the matter of Kuaishou.
As a result, the scenery here is so attractive that neither of them has the heart to continue researching the topic of the scenery.
"Otherwise......" Zhou Shu grabbed the sick princess's hand and said, "Let's stay here tonight." "He didn't have any bad intentions, he just felt like he was traveling here. Would like to stay here longer.
The speaker has no intention of listening, and the two reasons why the two could not be combined - the country that cannot be given up and the disease that cannot be cured - have now been completely solved. Recently, the sick princess has always hoped that her knight king will die soon, become the queen herself, and then invite Zhou Shu to come over and be the king.
Take the body of the Knight King. It's not strange to live for more than ten years, but with the condition of his head, it's not strange to announce his abdication at any time. His Alzheimer's disease has become so severe that he can only be awake for three or two days a week at most.
A few hours ago, the sick princess had heard gossip from her own maid that the Knight King had relapsed from Alzheimer's disease while practicing swords two days earlier, and had used the twin sword of the Iron Princess to cut off one of the feet of his own statue.
You must know that the statue is 33 meters high, and it was built to commemorate the hero after the catastrophe and was funded by the princess at that time, in fact, it was to curry favor with her future marriage partner. Although it is inside the royal court, it is so large that ordinary people in the royal capital can see it as soon as they open the window.
Fortunately, this statue was built by magicians, and it is guaranteed that it did not collapse, otherwise there would definitely be rumors such as a major reshuffle within the royal family.
Among the many adopted sons and daughters, the deepest friendship with the knight king should be the second princess Fuhu and the third princess Messy Hair, as well as the two little princes who have died. In order not to ruin the reputation of the Knight King, the throne of the White Moon will probably soon change hands under the joint establishment of Princess Fuhu and Princess Ranphy.
Now that the sick princess has been cured, when the news spreads widely, the process of the knight king's departure from the throne will probably be accelerated.
Speaking of her recovery, the sick princess remembered that it was time for her to write a letter, she had not written for some days, and she was not sure whether she could still hold her hand.
Considering this problem, the sick princess decided to stay here with Zhou Shu for one night, trying to write everything that should be written.
Master Zhou listened to her thoughts, praised it decisively, summoned a flying bird and flew to Ula Mystery with a note in his mouth, so that she didn't have to worry about herself, and then directly found a hotel in the town where she could stay-
After Yu Feiniao and his party left the secret prostitution hall, they decided to stay in the castle directly, they were a little disgusted and were in no mood to continue to wander around.
People sometimes just want to be one out of the other, and they have all decided to fly back to one of the three women. Because Yu Feiniao suddenly wanted to take a carriage that he had never sat in, he refused to leave when he passed by a carriage shop.
The Gray Witch doesn't really want to fly, it's still very difficult to find a place to go up and down without being discovered these days, since the boss said that she wants to take a carriage, then sit well.
The appearance of the Two Realms Gate was a big topic for the ordinary people of Rozeraven, who didn't know what the magicians in the city were up to. I just hope that there won't be any more natural disasters such as hurricanes and rains.
The climate in Rozelaven has always been terrible, and it is normal for southern cities to have such things. The inhabitants of the city had long believed that this disaster was caused by the magicians, because there were few magicians in the north, and there was no such thing.
Where does this come from, if you go to a tavern and ask a drunkard for a sausage beer and ask him, he'll tell you a story about conspiracy theories.
It is said that there is a group of people in Rozeravin City who hate magicians to the core, and they have been trying all kinds of ways to make trouble for magicians. Some people say that these people have been mistreated by magicians, and some people think that they are a group of good guys who have discovered some dirty things that magicians are secretly working on. For example, buying and selling women or something.
Rozeravin is the city with the most frequent disappearances of women in the White Moon Country, and although many kidnapping cases have been solved so far, it is only a small part of the huge number of missing people.
The citizens have no ill feelings towards this organization that only exists in the legend of hating magicians, because ordinary citizens who like magicians do not have zài.
Conspiracy theorists generally believe that they have created a lot of negative rumors about magicians, such as the weather. Most of the citizens still know that the celestial phenomena belong to the natural situation, and they will not rely on this and that, but there has always been a rumor that the magician Li Tong betrayed the White Night Country.
The reputation of the magician is too bad. They were the least responsible part of the nobility, and after acquiring the land, these new magical nobles were more greedy than any of the old nobles. The Magician's Castle. This place is not going to the general public at all, and parents will not let their children go to play in that vicinity, although there are abundant fruits, animals and insects in summer, and there is no danger, but if a child runs over to catch rabbits and pick fruits and is found, it will be light to walk for three or two days.
Yu Feiniao stared at a head of black hair and appeared in the carriage room. It reasonably attracted everyone's attention.
Ula Mi took out his money bag and asked the owner of the garage to find a better carriage and horses, and pull him back to the nearby castle in the mountains.
"To the castle?" the boss looked up and down, Ula and Yu Feiniao, two strangers. "The two ladies are the owners of the magic?"
In this world, everyone knows that the possessor of magic is beautiful and beautiful, and at some point this question is still a small trick for ordinary men to praise women's appearance.
The boss wasn't complimenting the two of them for their beauty. It's a heartfelt inquiry. He didn't want to have anything to do with the magician, and he had already decided that if the other party answered 'yes', he would immediately end today's life early.
Ula shook her head, although she had magical powers, she was just a waste of it, and she couldn't do anything. For this question, she regarded it as the boss's flattery, and she was smart but was mistaken by her cleverness, and she didn't dig into it.
The boss looked at the three of them suspiciously, and finally decided to be on the safe side, gave up this income, and politely refused, and they went to take a look elsewhere.
The three girls who were sent out frowned, they all keenly felt that things were a little strange, not to mention the boss's flickering attitude, even Yu Feiniao, who didn't understand the lingua franca, heard some strange meanings from the other party's tone.
"What should I do, why don't you fly back?" said the Grey Witch with a big grin on the road.
As soon as the word 'fly' came out of her mouth, a figure was hidden and listened to in her ears.
In the carriage house just now, there were not a few people who heard the outsider talking to the boss in the carriage room, some of them were guests, and some of them were employees of the carriage house.
One of them, a part-time worker who has just come to work in the garage for a few days, has a keen sense that the three people led by Yu Asuka are a little strange.
First of all, all three of them are foreigners. Although the Gray Witch is white, as long as you look closely, there are still many differences between her and the citizens of the White Moon Country.
There are many people who say that Rozeravin's magic is a foreigner, but it is the companion of this working girl in the garage who is stirring up this topic. They knew what the magicians must have done for building the steel gate, but their secrecy angered the woman and her companions.
Good things don't carry people, and there is no good thing to carry people. With this sentence as a course of action, they began to smear the magicians, wanting them to make a statement about the sect.
The result surprised several people, and the magicians remained silent, as if they had acquiesced to their duties. In fact, these people made up nonsense, but then there were all kinds of signs that they seemed to be blinded by something.
If Master Zhou was present, Cui Jian would tell him that there was a beautiful woman with 40,000 summoning points nearby.
Now this beautiful woman Yan zhòng suspects that the woman in front of her has some entanglement with the magician in that castle, and she can't figure out what conspiracy and secrets they hold in their hands.
