Chapter 127: A Chance Encounter
By the time the two of them came out of the underground labyrinth, the sun had sunk to the end of the earth. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"It took a whole day. Karl glanced at the sky.
The dark clouds in the sky have not yet dispersed, but the rain has been lighter.
"To make up for today's journey," Alexia said as she walked behind Karl, "I'm going to have to walk a little more tomorrow." The night is not suitable for walking in the wild, and you may be attacked by magical beasts. ”
"No problem. Calbi gestured with no problem, "I'll go to rest early." ”
"Hmm. Alexia nodded.
Alexia began to set up a temporary camp for wild rest, Carl looked at her petite back, and couldn't help but sigh a little, although she was only fifteen years old, Alexia was definitely an excellent captain, with personal combat power, leadership charisma, determination, knowledge, impeccable, sometimes hot-blooded, but never reckless when it was time to calm down.
As a member of her team, Carl is actually quite relaxed, as long as he does his professional thing.
"What are you doing standing there, come here and straighten the tent, I'm going to nail it to the ground, hold it firm. Alexia turned to Carl and shouted.
Because she was too short to reach the top of the tent, she had to be grabbed by Carl at a time, and Alexia didn't say anything special about it - provided that Karl didn't mention her height or her height or her height......
"It's coming. Carl interrupted his thoughts and went over to help.
-- Alexia's squad is on the move――――――
Nothing happened all the way.
Padra, a very ordinary second-tier city, Rhea, also ushered in her new day.
The five days of heavy rain have finally ended, and there is still shallow water on the ground, and the business district in the north of the city has become extremely lively.
Maybe it's because the sun is warmer after five days of continuous rain, or maybe it's because there are too many things to accumulate, and the ironware shop is more lively than usual today.
"Your shovel, eight silver coins. "The steel sword you ordered was finished two days ago. "What do you want?"
Lacey handed a steel sword to a middle-aged mercenary and turned to look at the next guest.
This guest was different from the usual five big and three thick mercenaries or dusty peasants, she was only a little taller than the counter, wearing this black linen dress, red double ponytail, beautiful little face, looking like a harmless little girl next door, but Lacey, who often dealt with mercenaries, could still find this new customer unusual.
"I want Tarien Purple Tree, do you?" Alexia looked around on the counter, "Well, you should call, call ......"
"The sap secreted by the Tarian Purple Tree will give off a smell that attracts the local black-maned wolves, but the wolves are not a herbivorous species, so they can only make them uncomfortable. Karl, who was standing behind Alexia, added, "Botany, Book III, Book 6. ”
"Wait a minute. Lacey trotted down a box from a container and handed it to Alexia, "Three gold coins." ”
Alexia opened the box, tapped at the ten purple cube-shaped pieces of wood inside, nodded in satisfaction, and handed the three gold coins to Lacey.
This kind of wood block is used to maintain the sword, with more than 20 years of wood heart to wipe back and forth on the sword body, after rubbing heat, the wood will seep out of the tung oil hidden in the depths of the air has not been touched, wipe the sword body and then wipe it off, even if it is maintained.
Alexia is almost running out of what she brought before, so she added some along the way.
"What else do you want to buy?" Karl urged, "I'm going to buy a lot of things from the Alchemy Guild later." ”
Carl wants to buy some materials to make the Void Crystal, which he has used up a lot before.
"No, let's go. Alexia said.
......
Shortly after Carl and Alexia left the blacksmith shop, a young man with pale blond hair came to the shop.
"Lacey, good morning. The young man greeted Kanban Niang.
"Ah, it's Levy. Lacey was pleasantly surprised, "Good morning." ”
As she spoke, Lacey glanced carefully behind Levi, "Where's the old man with glasses?"
"Did you say Philip?" Levi glanced back, a smug smile, "It's not easy to be thrown away by me." ”
"How can you do this, Grandpa Philip also cares about you. "Are you leaving today?"
Levi nodded, "That's right, if it weren't for the heavy rain blocking the road, I might have left two or three days ago." I'm going to go as soon as I buy some supplies, are the triangular steel arrowheads I ordered ready?"
"Alright. Lacey pulled out a box of well-made arrowheads and handed it to Levi, "My grandfather took him a long time to finish, and you're asking too much." ”
Levi smiled, "Trouble him old man, then, goodbye." ”
Levi put the arrow away, turned away, left only a dashing back, turned an intersection and disappeared.
"Little girl. An old but powerful voice interrupted Lacey's gaze, "Did you see Levy?"
The interrogator was an old man with all-white hair, glasses, and a black butler suit, who spoke with a hint of helplessness.
Levi said he was going to buy supplies, and that direction was probably Larry's grocery store. Lacey replied.
"Thank you, little girl. Philip said as he chased in the direction that Lacey was pointing.
That was indeed the direction in which Levi had left.
But Lévy turned the corner and silently "disappeared", disappearing without anyone noticing, and at the same time, on the other side of the crossroads, Lévy's figure appeared.
"Well, Lacey will definitely tell Philip the truth, Philip will definitely not be suspicious to see that she is not lying, and I will go to the thieves' guild to collect that information at this time, I have four minutes......" Lévi muttered as he quickly turned into an alley.
......
Climb from a gloomy alley to a brightly colored room.
This is the first room of the most famous gold cave in Rhea City, the Joy Castle.
The owner of the room subconsciously prepared to shout when he saw someone coming in, but when he saw the spark flashing in Levy's eyes, he swallowed the words stiffly.
"I'm here to get news. "Yesterday I received a message from your union. ”
"Yes......"
"Are you sure this information is reliable?" asked Lévi to the flamboyantly dressed woman.
The second identity of the woman in front of her is Nina, the president of the Rhea branch of the thieves' union, and she is a strong man with a silver position. But such a person did not dare to slack off in the face of Levy's questioning.
"It can be confirmed that Master Leopold is in seclusion in ......," said Nina, and changed the ciphertext language.
After listening to this, Levi threw five purple crystal coins to her: "I hope you don't lie to me." ”
The tone was very flat, but it made the other party shudder.
Nina hurriedly caught the five thousand gold coins and said repeatedly: "Please rest assured, your Excellency, there will be no mistakes." ”
"Well, good luck and goodbye. Levy walked out of the main entrance.
Nina didn't react for a moment, a gust of wind blew, and a strong hand grabbed her shoulder, and at the same time a voice asked, "What about that person just now?"
Nina felt that her hand was as steady as a rock, and there was no possibility of breaking free, and she couldn't help but cry because she was so aggrieved that she would be a president for a while.
"He—he went through the front door. ”
Hearing this, Philip let go of his hand and chased out, but seeing the dense crowd in the hall on the second floor, the old butler's brows couldn't help but wrinkle.
......
La Villette Avenue is the busiest street in the north of the city's business district, home to the most luxurious hotels, the most expensive luxury stores, the most complete black market, and the largest gold sales cave.
In the most prosperous areas, the most rich people gathered, and there were also many beggars who had no way to survive here to beg - they did not dare to go further than the middle of the road, so they could only reluctantly shrink into corners, and most of the people who came and went were just hurrying by, and even if they had good intentions, they were just throwing them away.
From a nondescript storefront, a dark-haired teenager and a short, double-ponytailed girl stepped out.
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. Carl muttered, "The Alchemy Guild here is also a little too watery, it doesn't even have a three-color pattern, and it still requires me to go to the black market." ”
There are three colors of red, blue and purple inside the three-color crystal, which are entangled with each other but will not be kneaded together, which is a rare cherished crystal and a raw material for making seismic crystals.
"It's nice to be able to buy it. Alexia glanced at him.
"Hey, don't mention it, the price in this black market is at least seventy percent more expensive than the one sold in the imperial capital store. Karl sighed, "Let's go." ”
"Hmm...... Wait a minute. Alexia paused abruptly and walked quickly over to a little girl begging.
The children had dirty blonde hair and tattered white clothes, their bare feet and legs were not satisfied with the scars and blood scabs of the long walk on the rough stone floor, the feathers of their wings were stained the dark red of blood and the black of dust, and they hung feebly behind their masters, and their slender shoulders and upper arms were faintly visible under the dirty surface of some long scars of the same size.
She was holding a wooden board with her name written on it: Lavinia. And also wrote a short story in the lingua franca and the winged language.
The content of the story touched many people, because girls begged for far more coins than begging beggars. Tragic stories are always able to elicit the pity of others.
But Alexia's eyes flashed with disappointment, and she silently placed a silver coin in the child's hand.
Carl slowly walked up to Alexia and asked, "Why would you offer to help a beggar at all?"
The same question, Alexia had just asked him a few days earlier.
"What about you, why don't you help. Alexia turned her head to look at him.
"Why?" Karl asked rhetorically.
Alexia frowned, Carl was testing her, so what was there she hadn't noticed......
Suddenly, Alexia took a step to the side, and a figure jumped from the second floor on the side of the street, landing right where Alexia had been.
Carl and Alexia saw that the face of this young man with pale blonde hair suddenly became a little exciting.
This person is Alexia's lévy who helped when the emperor begged for a sword, a young man whose forging art surpassed that of the dwarf master!
As soon as Levi hit the ground, he exerted his strength, turning into an afterimage that was difficult to catch with the naked eye, but the shadow was intercepted by a second figure who broke through the window, an old man with short white hair and a black butler's uniform.
"Well, Grandpa Philip, you win. Levi said helplessly.
In terms of speed, he does not have an advantage, and Philip is very good at high-speed movement and tracking, and it is already the limit that he can get rid of the opponent for a few rounds.
