Section 34 Meets Sur again
"Yasuna, I'm going to go out while I'm away, you and Phinea must protect the two little guys, there will be a lot of people looking for trouble these days, you must be careful. William said to the Frost Giant Leader as he tidied up the contents of the Spatial Ring.
Yasuna's eyes flashed and she said, "You want to go into the city?"
William nodded and said, "Well, there are some questions I need to ask the city lord of Silvermoon City in person, she should be able to answer my doubts." ”
Yasuna whispered, "Actually, you can just let it go, anyway, Elm is already dead, and no one can force you." ”
"I know, Yasuna, I can let it go, but have you thought about it, how should you and I stand in a chaotic world?" William's eyes at this time showed inexplicable depth and solemnity, "This is an opportunity, an opportunity to mark the value of you and me." Powerful power can only make others jealous and guarded, and only virtue can be accepted by us. ”
Yasuna felt a little amused: "You, you want to be a good person?"
"A good person? What kind of person is a good person? Hehe, being a good person is too tiring, I just want to be an existence with my own principles and persistence. With that, William walked out of the house without looking back, leaving behind a bewildered female frost giant.
Maybe it's because they've long been accustomed to this troubled world, maybe everyone here has a big heart, although there was a farce of demons dancing last night, after dawn, the residents of Silvermoon City still walked out of their homes as if nothing happened, setting up stalls, opening shops, performing, drinking, as always, the only difference is that most of them are equipped with an extra self-defense weapon, of course, there are also a very few leather armor that has not been moved for several months and wraps it around their bodies.
There are indeed a lot fewer people out of the city, and no one will stupidly crash into danger when the situation is unknown, and the officials of Silvermoon City have sent most of the Pegasus knights to patrol the wilderness outside the city, especially the outskirts of the eastern part of the city.
Along the way, William encountered a dozen Pegasus knight squads in succession, but they didn't pay much attention to this lonely traveler, except for the first two knights who circled around him in mid-air a few times, the other patrols only swept by.
Only at the gate of the city did William encounter the real interrogation, a middle-aged man in leather armor and holding a hardwood staff led dozens of city guards to erect a wooden fence at the gate (because there are few large-scale cavalry battles here, such defensive facilities as horse rejection are not common), the city's defense is obviously several times stronger than in the past, many of the residents of the villages and towns who were not affected last night have moved to the city after dawn, it can be seen that these people have been prepared, although the family is not flustered.
William didn't know that the reason why the people of the villages and towns attached to Silvermoon City were ready to move was because when the winter snow was about to melt, it was the time when the orc tribes and a large number of other monsters from the deep forests of the mountains came to raid them, and it was not surprising that people had to hide in the heavily defended Silvermoon City at this time every year to avoid those dangerous monsters.
Several young men in leather armor, armed with strange instruments, constantly inspect every pedestrian waiting in line to enter the city, supposedly to prevent non-human (non-natural) monsters from infiltrating the city. William saw with his own eyes a man with a messy beard being pulled out by them, and one of the young men who was inspecting him said angrily: "Are you? Go away, man, Silvermoon City is not open to you now." The bearded man had to return to the wilderness in a huff, and a few of the people who were waiting behind left the group of their own accord in disappointment, and it seemed that they were among the unallowed.
Things in the world are often delicate, and most of the cities of Faeron will refuse to even hesitate to attack those evil or unnatural creatures, but they will always be banned, and there will always be some powerful (not powerful) people active in the dark corners. Silvermoon City is the only city, although she also has a long forbidden list, but unless it is some recognized evil guy, the city's guards will not actively attack the forbidden ones, but the dark corners of this city are always the cleanest, and this is one of the reasons why Erasdr is admired.
William easily passed the city gates, but instead of immediately meeting Erastro, he walked along the Moon Square to stock up on what he might need on his upcoming journey (or runaway), salt, flavorings, food, vats of fine wine, and various containers and toolsBy the time William arrived at the Riwen River, he had already purchased supplies of nearly a thousand gold coins. ,
Instead of repairing the ruined Moon Bridge, several makeshift pontoon bridges were erected over the River Raven, and there were not many pedestrians passing on them, William crossed the pontoon bridge to a small shop on the south bank, and while he was picking up exquisite trinkets, he asked casually, "Boss, where can I meet Ms. Erastro?"
In the Northlands, the name of Erastro is always revered, and even if the people there are very hostile to the Travelers, they will immediately rally and lend a helping hand whenever they hear that someone asks for help, and even the most ordinary farmers and shepherds will become as brave as heavily armed soldiers, and will not hesitate to sacrifice their lives for Erastro, which is the powerful charm of the Lady Hope of Silvermoon City.
The owner of the trinket shop was obviously also one of Erastro's admirers, and William's question immediately made his eyes light up: "You mean Lady Hope, oh we used to see Lady Radiant at any celebration, now young man, why do you want to meet Lady Silvermoon?
William pretended to be solemn and whispered, "I have something important to report to Lady Erastro, but I don't know if anyone else is worth trusting?
The shopkeeper squinted his little eyes and patted his chest and back, and reassured: "Friend, I am definitely a partner worthy of your trust, believe me, I can definitely help you inform the Supreme Lady." ”
"No, I only trust Ms. Erastro, I don't trust anyone else," William thought he had a good talent for acting.
The shopkeeper was a little disappointed and said, "You don't believe me, you don't believe me, well, if you want to find Ms. Erastro, then you have to ask the guards of the Supreme Palace, I believe they can give you a satisfactory answer." ”
"The Supreme Palace?"
"Yes, in the very center of the city, the beautiful castle with the battlements of a unicorn's head, made entirely of white marble. It has the most beautiful buildings and the most heavily guarded, and if you can convince the High Guards, you'll be able to meet Lady Erastro. ”
William smiled: "Then borrow your auspicious words, thank you" Saying that, he picked up a few favorite trinkets and walked away, the shopkeeper looked at William's distant back and was stunned for a while, until he disappeared William's trace, he suddenly reacted: "Damn bastard, you haven't given the money yet, the boy is back"
William was about to return to the north bank for the Supreme Palace, but he met an acquaintance by the river: "Mr. William, Mr. William, why are you here?"
"Suer, hehe, I didn't expect to meet you here, why, didn't you go to school?" William looked at the girl in front of him with some surprise, she looked much more mature than she had been a little more than a month ago.
Sur said excitedly, "Mr. William, where is Millet Sha'er? Mi Sha'er has delayed a lot of homework, you can learn a lot of things in a month, you know, I just learned two new spells, do you want to take a look?"
William said, "Another day, I have something to see with Ms. Erastro now, and I'm afraid I don't have time to appreciate your learning." William felt a little uncomfortable when he remembered Suer's sad appearance when the Moon Bridge was destroyed, and he didn't know what her expression would be when she learned that the real murderer who destroyed the Moon Bridge would one day.
"You're going to meet Lady Erastro, she's in the Ladies Academy right now, and it looks like there's another mysterious guest meeting her," Sur said of Arastro, who was also a little star in her eyes, and she was one of Lady Hope's admirers.
William couldn't help asking, "Ladies College, doesn't Erasdra live in the Supreme Palace?"
Sur said proudly: "Most people don't know that in Silvermoon City, Ms. Erastro's best friend is actually our dean, Master Linx, and Ms. Erastro even spends most of her time in the academy, leaving a fake stand-in in the Supreme Palace. ”
William said, "How do you know this?"
Sur smiled, "These are just open secrets among mages, and almost every well-informed mage knows about them. ”
"Oh, I see, you seem to be a good mage too. William's small compliment immediately made the girl in front of him happy.
Su Er smiled and said: "Mr. William, you are really a gentle person, with an elder brother like you, Xiao Sha'er must be very happy." Oh, here, this is the Ladies Academy, isn't it beautiful?"
William looked at the manor-style castle with pleasant scenery in front of him and said with a smile: "It's really a good place, I believe that Xiao Sha'er will definitely like it here in the future." Thank you for your help, Soul, I'm going to see Erastro, and I'll treat you to a big meal when you have time. ”
Suer immediately said excitedly: "Okay, okay, how about the [Hero's Banquet]? Just like last time, I still can't forget it." ”
