Chapter 133: An undercurrent surging
Night covers the land, and everything rests. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the inn of Venus Town, Bai Huang and the others sat around a round table at the side of the hall, eating the home-marinated bacon provided by the innkeeper, and there was a large pot of vegetable soup on the old wooden table.
Naturally, the others were much better at eating than him, and while everyone enjoyed dinner, they discussed in a low voice the information they had gathered today and their next actions.
"According to the anomalies in the town, the items sold by the traveling merchant should indeed have been made by the inheritor, and even that merchant was the inheritor of the goddess of life. "If there is an anomaly caused by an overabundance of life force that can be attributed to the possibility of coincidence, then the multitude of common instances undoubtedly reduces the possibility of coincidence to zero indefinitely.
"Now that we've found the exact clue, are we going to travel overnight to find the girl?" asked Brian, chewing bread in his mouth.
Christina shook her head: "There's no need, we can say that we're here to join in the fun this time, since someone wants us to come to the inheritor, then we'll come to find it when we're idle, but we don't have to be so dedicated, anyway, I don't believe that those behind the scenes will pin all their hopes on us." The matter of saving Edward III is not an absolute necessity for us, but we have to take this opportunity to see which old foxes are hidden behind this matter. ”
"On the contrary, I am a little worried about the current situation in Augustus, in fact, I am very strange about Richard's attitude, now the Holy Duchy is a hot potato, even if he can successfully take control of the power, but still have to face the crisis of being destroyed by the Five Kingdoms. And fools know that the Five Kingdoms, as 'betrayers', are determined to eradicate the Shayat family this time, and it is impossible for Richard not to see through this, but his attitude is obviously biased towards the Eagle Principality, which is really puzzling. Bai Huang watched as everyone enjoyed the delicious dinner, and had to concentrate on the discussion.
Roy put down the bacon in his hand and said with some uncertainty: "Perhaps, an unconfirmed rumor I have heard can explain this situation. ”
"I smell gossip, and it's heavy. Bai Huang vaguely guessed what Roy was going to say, causing Christina to roll her eyes, "Hmph, do you have a nose?"
"It was true that there were rumours that Richard was not of royal blood, which was not uncommon in the court and had been circulating for a while, but as Richard continued to build up his prestige on the battlefield, the reputation of the 'Iron Heart' spread far and wide, and the rumor naturally dissipated. Now, it seems, maybe it's true. ”
"Yes, the prince is proving by his actions that he really has the same surname as the king next door. Everyone didn't understand Bai Huang's words, but they guessed the general meaning from his tone.
Bai Huang and his party didn't know that at this time, in the Chester Palace, a person was also talking about the same topic.
"'Iron Heart,' my dear uncle really has a name that doesn't deserve him. I've always felt angry, hated, unwilling, jealous, and crazy about my bloodline, and I can't say anything about my fragility, where is it like steel?"
Xiu sat in front of the window, gently shaking the goblet in his hand, the blood-red wine slowly flowing in the bright moonlight and reflecting the bewitching light. Xiu seems to be talking to himself, but he always has a loyal audience around him.
"Zero, Richard, this person, in fact, lives a very miserable and stupid life, has always been bound by those false things, if he had a different background, he might be able to become the second Leighton Vigrod in the history of the principality, but unfortunately, a good lion has become a puppet. ”
"Oh, then, hasn't my father become a maiden?" said Xiu, chuckling, and got up to Edward III's bed. Yes, this is Edward III's bedroom in the depths of the palace, a room that only Richard can enter and exit at will nowadays, and it doesn't seem like a forbidden place for this ordinary second prince to set foot in.
"Zero, I seem to have mentioned to you two days ago that my father is actually very similar to me. Xiu looked at Edward III, whose face was pale and his life was hanging by a thread, still maintained that calm and breezy demeanor, and even smiled even more, but the words he said were a little funny. The son said that his father was like himself, which was a bit funny.
As a qualified listener, Zero naturally understood the meaning of cultivation, since it was a father like a son, then it was undoubtedly not like it before, otherwise it could only be a son like a father.
"My father used to be like a young girl, sensual, willful, and a typical romantic. But now, he has abandoned all these things, and such a father is slowly becoming interesting......" The monk drank the wine in his cup, turned and walked out of the room, leaving only a bland but creepy epilogue: "Like a girl who will tear up a beautiful puppet little by little......"
......
In the middle of Cook's collar, in the village of Mook, adjacent to the town of Venus, a young girl in a black and white maid outfit with a giant backpack is selling her strange things to the villagers.
"Uncle, I see that your hoes are so old, do you want to change them, my magic hoe was obtained from the dwarf kingdom, and the hoeed land can double the crop yield." ”
"Grandpa, grandpa, I see that your teeth are all gone, you must not be able to eat a lot of things, come on, come on, try my magic dentures that I finally got from the hobbit, it can make you bite those delicious and crispy things again, whether it is black bread or bacon, I dare to say that even if it is an earth element, you can enjoy the deliciousness of food~"
The girl was bragging about her unreliable goods with a horse-drawn carriage, and a hopeful voice came from behind her: "Excuse me, do your dentures also work with skeletons?"
The girl turned around, the backpack behind her almost didn't knock the old man away, she looked at the armored man in front of her who asked strange questions, and showed a happy expression on her face, "Do you want to buy it?" Yes, yes, yes, my Ellie Litchman's reputation is famous in the entire continent, if you really think my dentures are not easy to use, I can pay you ten~" In her eyes, there are only guests and people who are about to become guests, there is no difference between strange and strange.
"Go, go, I think you're really crazy, what kind of dentures, go and put a tongue on yourself first. Christina tolerated the fellow who had been sick lately, and looked at the girl in front of her carefully, and it was easy to determine that she was indeed the traveling merchant that the townspeople had said she had, for the features were so obvious.
A huge backpack, a double ponytail, a strange maid outfit, and a very cute girl are all stacked together, and it's easy to create a quirky and distinct image in your mind.
And so I found it, what about the ambush, and what about the scramble?
After enjoying bread and milk in the morning, I drove for half a day, and then ...... Then they found it, and it was so easy that everyone felt a little weird and indescribable, but they didn't hurt enough to ask for trouble.
"It stands to reason that if the people sent by Richard weren't a bunch of idiots, they should have found this place before we did, after all, they had a lot more people at their disposal than we did. ”
"Perhaps, their luck is just too bad, or maybe our 'allies' have already caught up with them. ”
"Oh, I say, do you two have to take everything apart bit by bit, and you can't even let go of a footprint?" Brian had a headache when he watched Bai Huang and Roy start talking in a low voice again, he was most annoyed by these complicated things, sometimes he felt that humans had more brains in their heads than dwarves, and they liked to make simple things complicated.
"Brian, leave those two guys alone, let me ask you, has Puff ever been in this state before, it's been in a very sluggish state for the past two days, and it doesn't eat much, it doesn't look right, but it doesn't look like it's sick. Shirley kicked Brian and looked worriedly at the little porcupine curled up in her arms, the little one's eyes were half-closed, and his spirit was indescribably sluggish, and even the supple golden hair on his body had lost its luster.
Brian scratched his head and said helplessly: "Don't look at the little guy's small size, but he has the same body as me, and he has never had any diseases." ”
"It's hard to find a trainer or a druid in a place like this. Although Shirley has a lot of contract partners, in the final analysis, she is a priest and has no match for the "veterinarian". And Brian, hehe, you expect him to be careful and gentle and know how to take care of his pets, it is more likely that he will kill a legend with one punch.
Accustomed to the team's unreliability, Christina let them talk and fart on their own, and she began to make contact with the girl in front of her, who called herself Ellie Leachman. There are ways to deal with businessmen, and the worst thing Christina is the golden Jinkola, and she is naturally invincible against Ellie.
"You, you said that these magic items on my body, of course, they were obtained from various distant countries at a great cost!" Christina asked about the origin of the magic items that Ellie sold, which naturally made her wary.
"Oh~ yes. I know that the person who made them is in Cook's territory now~ Don't worry, I'm not trying to grab the source of goods from you or anything, but I just have something to ask that person for help, if you help us find her, then this money bag is yours. Christina pulled out a heavy purse, and the golden light reflected from the slightly open mouth of the bag almost dazzled Ellie's eyes.
"Deal!" Ellie reached for the money bag but grabbed it, and said hesitantly in Christina's smiling gaze: "First of all, you have to pay me a deposit first, you have to give a tenth, not a fifth, yes, this is the rule, and you have to buy a few items from me, which can increase the trust between us, rest assured that I will give you a ninety-nine-six discount, such a low discount I am an exception for your discount, you know......"
In the midst of a chatter, Bai Huang and his party seemed to have taken another step towards their goal, but what was waiting ahead? )
