【Chapter 13】 Tiara
Soon the boss brought a basin of steaming water to their room upstairs, and he cautiously returned to the bar with a shy stomach, only to see Izzy still sitting alone in front of the bar, and gently shaking the wine glass in his hand to him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The fat boss reluctantly poured a glass of wine for Izzy again, and the face that had just been slapped by Izzy was still red and swollen, which made Izzy feel funny. But he still held back and didn't laugh.
"Hey, boss, take out your craft and make something delicious to deliver. ”
As he spoke, Izzy drank the glass again, took out a money bag from his pocket, counted a few silver coins from it, threw it on the counter, and turned away. Only the boss was left silently putting away the silver coins on the bar.
"What is the ...... of a stinky thug".
When Izzy arrived at the market, he saw that the sky in the distance had darkened, and the merchants were busy sorting out their wares on the cars. Izzy walked briskly to see where he could buy a decent set of clothes, but as he walked around, the merchants were not willing to unload their goods from the cart and rearrange them because of Izzy.
He had no choice but to silently put his hands behind his back, sigh slightly, and stroll through the busy and lively streets. At this moment, the scene in front of him suddenly stopped Izzy, and saw a merchant behind a stall, carefully sorting out his goods, and a trench coat that seemed to be old was lying quietly there.
Izzy walked quickly to the stall and gently touched the familiar trench coat of the Order, some of which had an ornate Order seal printed on the collar, and a faint trace of blood on it that could not be washed. This is a costume that only the head of the Order wears, which means that this is Olga's Order trench coat.
It was then that the busy businessman noticed Izzy, and he came to Izzy's side with a smile.
"Hello, young man, do you fancy this dress? ”
Seeing Izzy staring intently at the dress, the boss reached out and lifted the trench coat up, and pretended to be very kind.
"How did you get it?"
"Of course it's from a regular channel, hey, young man, don't look at this dress a little old, but this kind of workmanship is not easy to find, do you know the mercenaries of the Order?"
Hearing the merchant's words, Izzy nodded silently, and then the merchant spoke even more proudly.
"I think it might have been from a mercenary of the Order, but all I know is that I bought it from a treacherous merchant for fifty silver coins."
"Treacherous merchants?"
"Well, I met him in Moonlight City, this man is rude, but he is very good at business, I finally bargained with him to buy it" Listening to the merchant's words, Izzy nodded slightly.
"Then how much do I need to give you to take it away?".
The merchant thought left and right for a moment, and stretched out his palm, "In this way, you give me fifty-five silver coins, which will be used as my errand fare." ”
Seeing the merchant smile, Izzy shook his head lightly and sighed. The merchant saw that it was already dark, and the other merchants had finished packing their things. The merchant put away his smile and nodded solemnly like Itch.
"Well, young man, I see that you really like it, fifty silver coins, I will give it to you for free. ”
Seeing the merchant's sincere look, Izzy raised his eyebrows instead, "Don't talk nonsense, you bought it with more money, you know it in your heart, now I'll give you thirty silver coins, will you sell it?"
Izzy spoke calmly, as if he had debunked the merchant's lies. The merchant weighed left and right, and nodded silently. Thirty silver coins is not a small amount on Sapro, it is enough for half a soldier's salary.
Izzy smiled and reached for his purse, but when he opened it, the smile stopped abruptly, for there were only twenty silver coins left in the bag. Seeing Izzy's embarrassment, the merchant took a deep breath and changed the pleasant expression on his face.
"How many more?"
"Twenty ......"
Izzy smiled awkwardly and poured the silver coins from the money bag into his hand, and then the merchant seemed to be angry, he ignored Izzy anymore, turned around and began to pack up his goods, "What's the matter today, I've been delayed for so long, I'm still a poor bastard...", the merchant complained indignantly with a reluctant expression.
"That's it!"
Izzy shouted, stepped forward and patted the merchant, and when the merchant turned around, Izzy gestured on his body, "How much do you think I'm worth?"
The merchant looked up and down, looking at Izzy suspiciously.
"How much do you give?".
"Plus all this money is given to you, I want this dress. ”
As soon as Izzy finished speaking, the merchant looked at him even more suspiciously, "Really?" Izzy smiled and nodded.
"But you'll have to promise me something......."
Soon, Izzy, dressed in a trench coat of the Order, returned to the tavern with the merchant. When the fat boss saw Izzy, he immediately showed a surprised expression, only to see that Izzy was wearing a gray and white Order trench coat, with long corners majestically following his legs, a silver belt around his waist, and a long and narrow knife hanging obliquely, although the clothes were a little shabby, but he looked very capable.
"You're really not a human trafficker?"
The boss said in surprise, Izzy nodded silently, and sat down on the stool in front of the bar, "Find me paper and pen, and pour a glass of wine for the merchant..."
Izzy waved his pen and wrote quickly, the flowing handwriting running down the paper. Once Izzy had received a thorough training from Olga, who could not only write brilliantly but also paint beautifully.
"How's it going?" said Izzy smugly, looking down as he wrote.
However, the boss nodded secretly: "I can't read." ”
At this time, Izzy raised his head and looked at the boss, "If you don't know how to read, how do you remember the account".
"I know how to count. ”
Hearing his boss's answer, Izzy ignored him and lowered his head to continue writing. Soon he finished writing a letter, and when the merchant saw it, he put down his glass, carefully took the letter, and put it in the envelope.
"Nothing else, then I'll go. ”
"Be sure to deliver this letter to the town of Tyre, and I think they'll pay you another. ”
"Don't worry, I've done the job of delivering letters. ”
In the face of Izzy's instructions, the merchant patted his chest and reassured.
But just as he reached the door, Izzy suddenly shouted and stopped him.
"Hey, you seem to have forgotten something"
At this time, the merchant hurriedly ran back to Izzy, showing a sudden expression of realization, "Eh, the woman's clothes, I forgot" The merchant smiled awkwardly, and then handed a package to Izzy.
After Izzy took it, the merchant hurried out, looking at the back of the merchant leaving, Izzy sneered contemptuously.
"What a profiteer..."
Hearing this, the boss at the bar wiped the wine glass that the merchant had just used, and chimed in, "That is, I can tell from the moment he comes in..."
Without waiting for the boss to finish, Izzy turned his head and looked at him, "You too." With that, under the boss's confused gaze, Izzy took the package and walked straight up the stairs......
In the small town hall of Tyre, the tables and chairs in the room were overturned, and in the midst of the chaos, Cedric's unkempt head was gently stepped under Tiara's feet, and a grinning expression was revealed.
"Hey, Tiara, isn't the boss's letter in your hands now, let me ...... go."
Cedric cried out in pain, but Tiara had one foot on his head, holding the letter in both hands, and looked at it earnestly. In a moment, the letter slowly slipped from her hand and landed lightly and slowly on the floor in front of Cedric.
As Tiara moved her feet away, Cedric quickly grabbed the letter, stood up from the ground, and looked at Tiara, only to see that her immaculate face had changed from the resolute expression of the past, and was replaced by a look of lost soul.
"What's wrong? Tiara. ”
Cedric asked softly, rubbing his head with one hand and holding the letter with the other to look at it in detail.
"This letter is addressed to Faennes, and Izzy says that Olga may have been killed in Moonlight, so let's all be careful......" Tiara said silently, staring out the door with blank eyes. "Then Jasmine must know about this, it seems that the Black Prince's next target is us. Cedric said with some panic.
Suddenly, Tiara remembered Farnes and Jack, who had already set off in the morning, "No, they are in danger. Tiara said and ran out of the town hall as fast as she could, and Cedric tried to stop her, but was too late to follow her.
Tiara walked out of the town hall and shook a large brass bell next to her, and the crisp sound quickly rang out in Tyre. Dozens of Order's mercenaries hurriedly came to the square in front of the town hall, and lined up in a panic, and even some of the Order's mercenaries who were keeping vigil had just gotten up and rushed over messily before they got dressed.
Seeing that all the mercenaries of the Order had arrived, Tiara took the long sword of one of the Mercenaries of the Order "Everyone, listen, I heard the news......" Tiara was about to speak, when Cedric, who was running behind her, stepped forward and covered her mouth. All the Mercenaries of the Order looked at each other for a moment......
"Tiara, what the boss said is only possible... We can't confirm ...... yet".
Cedric said nervously, snatching Tiara's sword from her hand. Tiara looked back nervously at Cedric, as if the situation of Faenes and Jack had been imagined in her mind.
"What then? If the Olgars are killed, then their situation is in danger......
Before Tiara could finish speaking, Cedric stepped forward again and put his hand on her red lips. However, the mercenaries of the Order who heard Tiara's voice were in an uproar for a moment, and they looked at Cedric and Tiara in surprise in front of them.
Cedric quickly approached the Order's mercenaries and blocked Tiara with his body.
"Be quiet, this news is not accurate. We now set out to find Faense to confirm it. However, Cedric's words did not calm the people.
"What if it's true?"
"If it's true, then if we do it against them, we will be sent to death. ”
"Don't go, don't go......"
Some of the mercenaries of the Order questioned, some accused, although they bravely fought against the bandits, they had not experienced any war, and they did not want to be enemies of the Bishop and the Black Prince of Moonlight City, and suddenly the bustling crowd became noisy.
Seeing the commotion in front of him, Cedric had a headache for a while, and he had to look at Tiara with a reproachful gaze. Tiara stepped forward slowly and retrieved the sword from Cedric's hand.
"Shut up for me, if you don't want to go, you have to go, if you don't go, if you don't go, beat me first!"
With Tiara's shouting, the mercenaries of the Order fell silent, in their eyes, they had never seen anyone defeat Tiara, and they also knew that Tiara's personality was impulsive and irritable, so they didn't dare to say anything for a while.
"Since there's nothing you don't want to go, check my equipment for me, and let's go now!"
With Tiara's voice, people began to bust themselves. At this time, Cedric rubbed his unkempt hair and came to Tiara's side.
"It seems that all of us are afraid of your ......".
Tiara and Cedric took all the Order's mercenaries with Tyre, and although they were a team of dozens of people, they marched mightily. They traveled lightly, with Tiara leading the group with a hurried and nervous pace, which led to a general increase in the speed of the team as a whole.
Soon, Tiara and Cedric were in the mountains south of Tyre, and she saw from afar a few men, including Faense and Jack, who seemed to sit listlessly on the ground, waiting for the Order's messenger to arrive. Seeing this scene, she was about to run forward, but was stopped by Cedric, who was quick to move, because Cedric saw the faint knights of the Order in the farthest distance......
"Hey, give me some spirits, our grown-ups are here. ”
Farnes said as he stood up and kicked Jack, who was asleep beside him.
"Huh?"
Awakened, Jack saw the knights of the Order walking in the distance, and then he hurriedly got up and straightened his armor.
These knights of the Order in heavy armor, with pale golden helmets on their heads and silver armor with gold trimmings, which made them look holy and mighty, led by a messenger in a gorgeous white robe, walked with neat steps towards Faense and the others.
Faennes straightened his collar briefly, walked forward, and before the Order's messenger could reach him, he knelt down on one knee, bowing his head and waiting for the Order's messenger to arrive.
"Child, the gods will protect you......"
The Order's emissary came to Faense, who tapped the top of Faense's head. At this time, Faens slowly got up, raised his head with a smile, and looked at the thin and vicissitudes of the face of the Order's envoy, and the dozen or so knights of the Order behind him, after dropping two large boxes, stood in a row, solemnly not far behind him, forming a semicircle.
At this time, Faense looked at the messenger of the Order suspiciously, "I'm sorry, my lord, I didn't know of other messengers of the Order. ”
Hearing Faennes's words, the envoy of the Order suddenly showed a kind smile, perhaps because of his age, which made his smile look more like a kind old man.
"Bishop Jasmine has punished him for corruption, I think he has nothing to do with us now, you ......"
As he spoke, the Order Emissary took Faennes's arm and walked around the heavily armed Order knights to two heavy chests.
The old Order Emissary waved his hand lightly to a Knight of the Order beside him, who quickly walked over and opened the chest, which suddenly shone with a dazzling light.
"What is this?"
The box was full of countless silver coins, and the light emitted by these silver coins hit Faennes's eyes, and he stared at the box without turning his eyes and showed a shocked expression.
The Order's emissary did not answer Faennes's words, but instructed the Order knight to open a second chest, which contained some specially made shirts, which were brand new and looked unusually comfortable in white color. Farnes could hardly believe what was happening before him, rubbing his eyes lightly, and looking at the entire box of silver coins and costumes again and again.
"I am also deeply sorry that the last emissary of the Order corrupted the law and caused damage to the town of Tyre, but justice will be done eventually, Lord Jasmine looked through his ledger and found that all the supplies originally given to the mercenaries of the Order had been replaced with inferior equipment, so Lord Bishop decided to compensate the children. ”
The Order's envoy spoke peacefully, and patted Faennes, who was still surprised.
At this time, Faense took a breath, and there was a long-lasting emotion in his heart, he knelt down on one knee again, sincerely clasped his hands, and gave a deep salute, "I, Faens, am very grateful to the Bishop for his care for us......" Before Faens finished speaking, the messenger of the Order smiled and helped Faens up, a pair of old hands, and at the same time held Faens's arm.
"Hehe, the Olga people are now sent on a secret mission, and the mercenaries of the Order will be led by you, so you don't want to live up to the high hopes of the Bishop......
"Yes, my lordship, we will follow the will of the bishop and strictly carry out the order!"
"Oh, that's good, come and see these ......clothes," he said, and the messenger of the Order took Faense to the chest of neat garments again.
"This is no ordinary shirt, Lord Bishop knows that you children don't like heavy armor, but he is worried about your safety, so he has specially made these shirts, and the shirts are filled with fine armor, which are very light and at the same time, not inferior to any light armor. ”
As soon as the Order's envoy finished speaking, Faennes's face showed a grateful expression, and he took a deep breath, unable to hide his emotion.
Just as the Order's envoy was about to say something, a Order's knight quickly walked up to him, "My lord, the Order's mercenaries have an ambush!"
Hearing his report, the Order's emissary changed his face from a kind look and glared at Faennes.
"Son, why did you do that?"
The elderly messenger of the Order raised his arm, pointed at Faennes with a trembling voice, and spoke sharply in a rebuking tone, but Faens only looked at him in astonishment, not understanding what was happening.
Looking at the silent and surprised Faens, the knight of the Order on the side quickly drew his sword and pointed it at him. With the sound of a long sword unsheathed, the rest of the Order knights also drew their weapons one after another, pointing at Jack and several other Order mercenaries. For a moment, the sound of the sword unsheathed was surrounded one after another, and even startled the birds resting in the jungle, as if a fierce battle was about to start in this clearing......
This tense scene was deeply watched by Tiara, who was hidden among the trees in the distance......
