【Chapter 17】The Tender Controversy

In the evening, when Aidi returned to the Prado with the army, everyone wanted to go back to rest and relax after a busy experience, but they did not expect Aidi to insist on a routine meeting as usual. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Although some people are a little unconvinced, but after all, Aidi is a woman, and at the same time she is a secret law consultant, which is still in everyone's hearts.

After the soldiers' summons, Yanna, accompanied by Afra, also came to the castle hall, and she felt a little unnatural without Izzy present, but under the smile of Aidi, she still sat down as usual, the throne that did not match her thin body, and Aidi stood beside her with the same elegant demeanor as before.

Looking at the laughing and playful people in front of her, Yanna's cute little face also showed a smile, but Aidi on the side had a somewhat angry face, and coughed softly twice at the same time, signaling everyone to be quiet. When they saw that she had something to say, everyone silently returned to their positions, and at this time, Aidi's body had long lost the innocent temperament of the original, replaced by a noble appearance, and that calm character, which made people unconsciously obey her arrangement, even if they knew that she did not have any right to command herself.

"Does anyone have anything to say?" said Aidi, as no one yawned beside Faense at the bottom of the steps, and Cedric stretched and said lazily, "I just want to ask when I can get out of this hall, I didn't have a good rest yesterday." As soon as Cedric finished speaking, Gaudian and Faense looked at Afra in unison, and even Yanna looked at her with a smile.

Afra suddenly felt a hot sensation on her face, and she lowered her head slightly shyly, not intending to explain this misunderstanding that was more beautiful for her. Aidi stared at Cedric with a serious expression, although he did not speak, Cedric still saw a deep rebuke for himself from her sharp gaze.

But he still maintained the masked smile on his face, as if he was deliberately teasing Aidi's emotions, seeing this, Yanna also sat on the throne with her clear and pure big eyes, glared at him hard, and then he silently shook his head, stepped aside, and stopped talking.

"Although Izzy is not in Prado during this time, danger is spreading in the city all the time, and the killers who appeared in the first few times have proved this, so I hope everyone can do their part. Aidi said sonorously, but the person under the steps nodded helplessly, and there was no echo.

When Aidi saw this, she didn't care about it, after all, the identities of the arcane mage and the arcane advisor were not understood by everyone. In the same way in the Sapro continent, the reason why most people choose to be silent about the Black Prince's obliteration of the mystical mage is because people don't know about the mystical mages, and when those unverifiable announcements are spread, people will immediately remain vigilant and hostile to the mages, as if it is only the mages who destroy the world environment and peace.

The people standing here are not affected by this feudal mentality, they are still young, but they don't like to obey the command of others, let alone the exiled Aidi, even if Izzy is standing here with the crown, they are not willing to listen to orders, or blame and educate.

"Faennes, you have to strengthen the patrol of the city guards, so that those lurking enemies can't take advantage of it, you also know the consequences, just like this morning's belongings were dropped......" Before Eddie could finish speaking, Faense waved his hand slightly unhappily, and the other sleeve also floated up empty with the swaying of his body, "Got it!"

"Afra, you have to work hard tonight, I have heard reports of assassins killing at the city gates before, so you will take the soldiers of the night watch tonight and secure the city gates, and you can have a good rest during the day tomorrow. As soon as Aidi's words fell, Afra bowed solemnly and said yes, which still made her feel a little relieved.

At this time, Yanna stretched out her hand to interrupt Aidi's words to continue, "Aidi, let Cedric and Afra keep vigil together tonight, the night is long, you can't let her hold on until dawn alone, not to mention that she is still a girl, okay?" Yanna's tone showed her respect for Aidi, and it only showed the meaning of discussion.

Eddie smiled and nodded, but Cedric stood up unhappily, "Why, Queen, I can ......" Before Cedric could say anything, Gaudian on the side hurriedly covered his mouth and didn't let him say any more, "It's good for you, Lord Cedric, shut up." As he spoke, Gaudian looked at Yanna embarrassedly, as if she was apologizing for Cedric, and seeing this, Yanna also responded with a smile.

"Since everyone is fine, let's disband and rest. Aidi said generously, and at the same time bowed deeply to everyone. Seeing this, everyone immediately dispersed, more like a group of students who couldn't wait to get out of class, looking at the people who left in a hurry, the corners of Aidi's mouth couldn't help but show a wry smile.

Yanna on the side did not leave, but got up and took her hand, "Aidi, you are right, I believe in you, you are also our family, one day everyone will understand you." Hearing Yanna's soft words of comfort, Aidi involuntarily sighed, "Hopefully......" After speaking, Aidi let go of Yanna's hand and left the castle hall alone.

Although the night in the north is long, it will come later, and when people have already eaten dinner early, the sky has not yet completely darkened, and the stars in the sky are just shining insignificant in the gray and white sky, and the moon in the distance is only slightly showing a vague outline.

Leaving the castle hall, the others went back to their rooms early to rest after a busy day, but Cedric was not, and he wore a shirt that was already covered with dirt, and went to the tavern of Prado without hesitation. When he pushed the door and walked in, the people in the room who were chatting in twos and threes stopped and looked at him with strange eyes.

Seeing this, Cedric smiled slightly and bowed to the guests in the room, "Hello everyone, although I am very handsome, you should not look at me like that." As soon as Cedric's words fell, the people in the room sighed disdainfully, and at the same time returned to the topic just now, the reason why Cedric said this was actually to let the beautiful bard in the corner listen, and when he got up, he involuntarily threw a wink at her, and the beautiful bard also nodded and smiled at him.

At this moment, the owner behind the bar turned around and walked in front of Cedric. Before he could speak, Cedric pushed him away, walked to a table, and sat down, "Boss, how is business today?" "Yes, yes, yes, okay." "You know me, don't you?" "Yes, yes, yes. "Remember the girl who was with me that day?"

Hearing this, the boss nodded thoughtfully, and then said with a smile, "Yes, yes, I'll tell you, she'll come back later." As soon as he heard the boss's words, Cedric suddenly felt a little surprised, and at the same time he was happy in his heart, "Really?" The boss nodded deeply, seeing that the boss didn't look like he was lying, Cedric grabbed his hand.

"Well, I tell you, I'm not short of money, you bring up the best drinks and delicacies, and then in a moment the girl comes, and you will lead her to me, and I will reward you in that time." Hearing Cedric's words, the boss was also ecstatic, he hurriedly agreed with a smile on his face, and returned to the bar, after all, business has not been very good recently, and finally looked forward to him.

Cedric sat in his seat, arranging his collar when the small chatter of the surrounding guests reached his ears. Wearing a dirty white shirt and no coat, no one thinks that he will be a good person wherever he goes, only that he is a young man who is in a flow of air.

Cedric sat quietly for a long time, and after a while the boss brought a bunch of food and drink, filled the table, and lit a small candle, which looked particularly emotional, but this was even more talked about by the people around, and Cedric didn't care, he took out a small deflated money bag from his pocket and put it under the table, not knowing what to do.

Standing up, he turned around and came to a table of guests with their backs to him, and the two guests who were talking looked at him in unison, "What are you doing?" He didn't respond immediately, but raised his hands and saluted gracefully, "Two adults, do you want to play with me, I have two hundred silver coins." Cedric said as he beckoned to the busy boss at the bar.

"Two hundred?" The two guests were taken aback, two hundred silver coins were not a small amount in their eyes. At this time, the boss, under the command of Cedric, brought three dice clocks, which were filled with dice and placed on the table. At this time, Cedric also took out a money bag from behind him and threw it on the table, which looked like it had more than two hundred silver coins.

Seeing that the eyes of the two guests were glowing green, one of the guests pretended to be calm and glanced at Cedric, "Okay, how do you say to play?" Hearing his words, Cedric suddenly laughed, he moved a chair from his side and sat down, "It's very simple, I lost two hundred silver coins for you to share, if you lose, give me fifty silver coins each, and take off your clothes for me." ”

"What?" Cedric's words made the two of them a little surprised and a little angry at the same time. However, he just spread his hands, leaned back in the chair, and made an indifferent expression, "Hey, there is always a price to pay for saying bad things behind people's backs." At this time, the man, who had been silent, pinched his fingers and said, "Okay, he loses one of us by one hundred, and if he wins, we will lose fifty by one person, so we can gamble." ”

Under the persuasion and calculation of his companion, the somewhat angry guest nodded his head and reached out to take the dice clock, "It seems that your two hundred silver coins will be responsible for what you say, come on." "Wait a minute!" Cedric stopped the guest and pointed to his purse.

At this time, the two guests looked at each other, reluctantly took out the money bag in their pockets, poured it out, and piled it on the table. Cedric smiled and shook his dice. After he shook it lightly twice, the dice clock stopped, and he took the lead in quietly opening a corner, and looked inside, only to see that he had shaken four fives and one six.

He smiled and glanced at the two guests in front of him, and at this time they also finished reading their dice, and carefully covered their dice, "You speak first, rich man." Hearing the guest's words, Cedric smiled, "Eight six." "Eight six?" the guest suddenly wondered, and the three of them played the dice for a total of fifteen.

"I don't believe it. "Then you can open it......" Just when the guest was about to take the dice clock, another person hurriedly stopped him, "Brother, you are thinking about it, he can shout this in one mouth, he must be sure, you see if you have it." Hearing his companion's words, the guest stole another glance at his dice clock and nodded silently.

After the two guests looked at each other, the guest who was in his turn held his breath, "Nine six!" the guest said and winked at his companion, who looked silly and slapped his dice clock directly, "Ten six!" After saying that, the two of them stared at Cedric's body in unison.

Cedric was not nervous and smiled slightly, "Eleven and five!" As soon as he finished speaking, the next guest lifted the dice bell, "I'll see what you can make up!" I saw that in his hand were, three ones and one six, and one five, "Brother, let's go, two hundred silver coins are ours." As he spoke, he lifted his companion's dice, and saw a one, a six, a five, and a four, and a four on the table.

Seeing this, Cedric flipped the dice clock, and there were exactly eleven fives out of the fifteen dice on the table, which made the guest who called it open suddenly panicked, "I thought you were talking about eleven six." At this time, Cedric took a deep breath, stood up, threw his seat to the side, and glared angrily at the two guests in front of him, "Don't play if you can't afford it, don't play with him, talk bad about me behind my back, think I can't hear?" His voice immediately resonated with the other guests, and they blamed the two guests.

Although people say that they don't want to disturb other people's affairs, there is still no one who can look at the people who are sorry for playing. Hearing everyone's accusations, and seeing that Cedric was not a good person, everyone was angry, and the two guests had to nod their heads silently, and were about to get up to leave, but Cedric stopped them, "Hey, look at my clothes, have you forgotten anything." ”

The two of them had no choice but to take off their clothes, fall on the table angrily, and walk out quickly, they really couldn't continue to be embarrassed here. When they were gone, Cedric casually put on an overcoat and put the silver coins on the table in the two pockets left by the guests.

Seeing that the beautiful bard in the corner was secretly looking at himself, he smiled and put one money bag in his pocket, and at the same time threw the other money bag to her, "Take it, I'll give it to you." At this moment the beautiful bard put down the strings in her hand and strolled to Cedric, and her tall figure made everyone in the room look at her with envy.

"Handsome guy, can I ask you how you did it?" "Those two are just fools, how can they be eyebrow-raising when playing dice." Cedric said, a cynical smile on his lips, and patted the beautiful bard's slender hips. Looking at Cedric in front of her, she also secretly admired in her heart, generally no one has such courage, after all, the dice rely on luck, and almost the two hundred silver coins in his hand will be lost.

As the bard thought of this, Cedric opened the large bulging purse in his hand, took out a piece of air-dried meat and put it in his mouth, and at the same time took out another slice and gently put it in the bard's surprised mouth, and after a moment she suddenly realized, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Afra walked in with a package, as if looking for something. As soon as she came in, the boss hurriedly walked over with a smile, "My lord, do you need anything?" "Oh, I'm looking for someone, Cedric." "Who's that?" While the boss was talking to Afra, Cedric saw Afra and quickly hid behind the bard, and waved his hand at the boss, signaling not to tell her.

Unexpectedly, the boss misunderstood, he smiled and pointed to Cedric, Cedric immediately quickly pretended to go, and the bard was also curious, but he had taken his money anyway, so he stood in front of him and looked at Afra who was walking step by step with a smile.

"Cedric, what are you hiding?" Afra was about to reach out to pull Cedric, but the beautiful bard stopped her at once, and at the same time had a stroking smile on her face, "I said, sir, who are you looking for, did you recognize the wrong person?" The smile was full of hostility among the women.

"Hmph, why, who are you to dare to stop me. Afra said contemptuously, and the bard was not afraid at all, and folded his hands proudly on his chest, "I'm just a citizen of the city, my lord, can you, as an officer, bully us at will?" Everyone could tell Afra's identity from the armor on her body, but the bard still stopped Afra.

At the same time, the guests on both sides are also more inclined to this beautiful bard, after all, in terms of identity. Looking at Cedric with her back to her, Afra became even more atmospheric, and she looked angrily at the bard who was standing in front of her, "I tell you, it's okay with you today, don't make trouble for yourself." ”

"My lord, you should say this to yourself, do you still want to do it if you recognize the wrong person?" "Cedric! turn my head for me! Don't think I won't recognize you if you change skins. When she heard Afra's shout, Cedric turned around silently, bowing her head and saying nothing, which made her even more angry and confused. And she put her doubts on Cedric, but transferred her anger to the bard in front of her......
