42. Old woman

After handing the seal as proof to the guards to meet the lord, Alice and White were taken to a room to rest for a while. After all...... The guards didn't recognize the seal, and naturally they didn't know what the seal meant, and not driving people away was already a sign that he believed in Alice and White.

It's a pity that White can't rest for the time being, because if you want to maintain your status as a "knight", you must always have a corresponding attitude. His tall body didn't shake in the slightest, and he really looked like a knight guarding a big man.

As a matter of fact...... He was supposed to be like this, but his strange personality made him look more like a painter who pursued "beauty".

"Now, that's how the seal goes, is it really okay?"

"Absolutely. White lowered his head slightly, "As long as you are a person who still has respect for Perry, you don't dare to steal his seal, of course, if Perry lends it himself, it will be another matter." The city lord shouldn't be unrecognizable to you now, so please wait. Other than that...... Do you notice?"

"Perceive something?"

"Until now...... Orcs as seen. After quietly looking around, White leaned over, "Did you find someone you were looking for?"

“...... Not yet. On this question, Alice can veto it with great certainty. As time passed, the appearance of rabbits and cats became clearer and clearer in my mind, and sometimes they could even move. Although I have seen many orcs of the same kind along the way in this city lord's city, the familiar feeling has not appeared once.

There are many, many orcs in the city lord's manor, and even the guards are all ears and guys. But I still haven't found anything to look for. But that's not bad. Because judging by the performance of this city lord. If the orc she found was really in her hands, it would be very difficult for her to hand it over.

"Well, well, that's a ...... I'm sorry to be late. ”

Just as White was about to ask something, a standard noblewoman's voice sounded with the sound of the door being pushed open to him that he was almost tired of listening, the orderly female city lord who managed this chaotic city where orcs and humans coexisted...... It's finally here.

However, I don't want to judge other people's tastes. But judging from what she did and deeds, I thought it should be a clean, unsmiling, cold-faced woman. But she's really ...... dressed up for the ball now Somewhat ruined her image.

The fan on the picture is no longer snatched all the time, and the red feathers on it are constantly dancing in the wind. Regardless of the heavy dress, her hat felt very familiar to Alice. There are many precious gems set on it, and if you look closely, you can see that they don't seem to be just "good-looking", and the hat looks like it has been stitched and modified, and its prototype is ......

This female city lord, is it also a magician?

No, be calm now. His identity is not the stubborn student next to Mr. Oz, but with Perry's seal. represents the ...... of Perry's will Her wife. Although it is fake...... However, in this case, it can only be taken as real.

"There must be something important about the princess's visit to my desolate place. ”

As he spoke, the castle lord returned the seal he was holding to Alice. As White said, she probably felt hot when she held this seal.

"Tell me, I, Ophelia, will do it for you with all the power of the city. ”

Ophelia......

I don't think I've heard this name before...... No, I should have seen her appearance myself. The lady is dressed like a noblewoman, the fan in her hand is constantly fanning, and she wears a hat that must be studded with precious stones, and her identity is also ...... Magician.

"We ...... Where have you seen it?" searching for memories, although the memory of Ophelia this time is deeper than when I saw the young dragon and the white wolf between them, but it only stops at the name and her presence, so that Ophelia is less important to herself than the rabbit and cat?

"Huh...... The minister has only been to meet the king once recently, so I guess we met at that time. ”

Ophelia was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head, "It's a great honor to leave an impression on your mind. ”

"You...... It's a magician. ”

"That's right, Chan was already qualified when he was an adult. ”

"Good at ...... Be...... Elemental magic?"

"This ......" Ophelia looked even more surprised this time, but immediately knelt down directly, "The princess's eyes are unfathomable, and the ministers are terrified...... What the minister learned...... Elemental magic indeed. ”

Sure enough, Ophelia, the lord of the city, knows him himself. Maybe it was the past, maybe it was the future, but it definitely existed in my impression. But...... With all that, there is still no way to prove anything.

"This time I need to go to the border. ”

Sighing, Alice no longer intended to dig into the memories she could wipe away, "I'm going to take a break here before that." ”

"Border? ...... What companions did you bring with you?"

"No, he's the only one. ”

Alice pointed at White, her face flustered. Although Ophelia was a fool who only knew how to laugh in her memory, now it seems that she seems to be ...... It's really not that stupid. To be able to manage this city with many hidden dangers in an orderly manner, a fool can't do it.

If you say something like bringing a companion, I'm afraid ...... She'll see something.

"What's the matter, is there any hesitation?"

"This ...... There are some troublesome things out there, so if you're just trying to play, it's best to stop there. ”

Ophelia sighed, "Although we are currently in a truce and peaceful relationship with the orcs, ...... Recently, near the border, there have been a number of ...... A gang similar to that of a bandit. The minister is also working on it, so ......"

Border, robbers......

"Have you seen each other's faces?"

"All orcs, phew, what a bunch of disobedient children. At the mention of the orcs, Ophelia's face showed the same emotion, as if he was suppressing something, "You are noble, at least...... Wait for the minister to deal with this matter before setting off, which causes your unhappiness, and the minister is willing to bear it alone. (To be continued.) )
