Dale, who jumped off the garbage boat, swam to shore.

Not far away, garbage boats dock on the riverbank, where the lights are as bright as day, and large groups of scavengers are gathering past.

Dale dodged the scavengers and slipped into a clump of reeds to come ashore. Although her clothes were soaked and her hair was sticky with aquatic plants, she was in an unusually good mood. Looking in the direction of Uptown, the magic signals that explode in the sky from time to time are beautiful.

It is estimated that no one would have imagined that Princess Ben has already run to the lower city. You can look for it there, I'll hide here for a few days and then find a way to leave.

Gollum......

The stomach growled.

Only then did Daile remember that she hadn't eaten since she visited the clear sky, and it was no wonder that she wasn't hungry after running such a long way.

As Dale surveyed where she was and wondered where to get something to eat, a glowing butterfly flew down from above. It circled around Dale and danced, its wings sprinkled with fireflies.

Seeing such a beautiful butterfly, Daile couldn't help but reach out and let the butterfly land on her finger.

Then the butterfly scatters into a cloud of stardust and disappears.

Broken!

At this point, Dale realizes that it is a magic butterfly for tracking, and its appearance represents that her whereabouts have been revealed. The person who tracked them can return at any time and must leave as soon as possible.

Dale pulled out her magic wand to unleash her magic to erase her trails, but a dagger came out from behind and rested on her neck.

"This young lady, don't move! My knife is very fast. ”

Dale's body stiffened instantly, something she had never encountered before. His actual combat class results are very good, but he doesn't notice the proximity of the person behind him at all, and he is a very scary guy.

"Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am. I'm curious about who you are, and why my husband came here so late to wait for you. ”

The man behind reached out and took the magic wand from Dale's hand, and then threw it into the darkness ahead. The magic wand was grabbed by a hand before it hit the ground, and then a very well-dressed young man came out of the shadows.

"Stiqueo deposited wood for the rod, and the unicorn had a magic core on its forehead and mane. The 24th edition shines brightly as the main technique, and it is a complete version of encryption. There are one hundred and twenty-four jasmine flowers carved on it, each with a different shape, and each one is a sub-technique embedded in the main technique. The young man turned his finger around Dale's magic wand and said with a smile, "Very beautiful, very valuable." Miss...... You have some stink, you should be hungry, and you need a clean room to rest.

How about this magic wand for your trip to Downtown? ”

Dale sniffed the sleeves of her coat.

It smells terrible.

My stomach was hungry just now, and now I scream again.

I do need to take a shower, change my clothes, eat something before I go to bed.

But who is this person in front of you?

"This magic wand is called Jasmine, and not only can it greatly increase the magic effect of the release, but the Dicio Sediment Wood is an extremely precious spice. Now that it's in your hands, there's nothing wrong with doing my travel expenses in Downtown.

It's just that...... Who are you? You should know who I am. ”

The young man turned and walked into the distance, and said, "My name is Luke, and I am a buyer of alchemy materials, and I recently bought a house in the lower part of the city of St. Lun. There's no romance here, and a blade can stab you in the heart from behind at any moment.

If you don't want to die, follow me.

By the way, I have another name. Meteorite, isn't it familiar?

Miss Jasmine! ”

At first, Daile was thinking about how to escape from this predicament, but when she heard the last name of the other party, she covered her mouth and exclaimed: "You, you are the Meteorite!" ”

The dagger resting on the neck was withdrawn.

"Miss Jasmine, my name is Fast Legs, and I am Mr. Luke's retinue. Don't call out that name in Downtown, or you'll get into big trouble. ”

Dale turned around and glanced at the person behind her, then quickly chased forward, leaving a trail of footprints wet. Fast legs had to stay, dealing with the traces left here.

Far from the river, the lower town is very quiet in the middle of the night, with no street lights and only a faint glow from the moonlight. It's a mess far beyond what Dale could have imagined for the lower town, with people who don't even have homes huddled in makeshift shacks.

Wild dogs gnaw on the garbage.

In front of them, a group of ragged men gathered around a burning fire barrel to keep warm, and they laughed loudly with bottles in their hands. When these people saw Dai'er, they cast ill-intentioned glances.

The frightened Daile pulled up her collar and ran to Luke's side with her head down: "Hey, where are you going to take me?" ”

Luke walked as he looked at the people with bad intentions, his clothes and momentum made the thugs not dare to be presumptuous.

"Don't ask, just follow me. Of course, you can also choose to escape, if it weren't for Miss Weathersky entrusting me to find you, I wouldn't care if you lived or died.

The thought that I was going to marry such a stupid woman, I would rather she really disappear. ”

"Hey!" Being called stupid made Dale angry, and she wanted to retort loudly, but when she noticed that the gang looked at her again, she lowered her voice and said, "I admit I'm a little stupid, but I'm not stupid." If it weren't for Sister Sunny Sky to help you, you would never find me...... Did Sister Sunny Sky let you come? ”

"Believe it or not."

"You and Sister Sunny Sky both work for Sister Agatha, and I believe you. Just now you said that your name is Luke, and you are a buyer of alchemy materials......

Is it a secret mission assigned to you by Agatha's sister? ”

Dale, who thinks Luke is credible, gets closer. And she often heard Agatha say that the secret missions carried out by the Empire's secret agents, this time she was able to get up close, and it was also a mission carried out by the Empire's top secret agent Meteor himself! The excitement excites Dale and makes her completely forget about the danger she faces.

Through the clear sky to receive Daile, you know that this princess is a self-acquaintance.

Luke didn't answer Dale and walked on his own, thinking about how to deal with this sudden trouble.

It's a disrupted whole plan.

Seeing that Luke ignored her, Dale didn't ask any more questions, but cautiously followed.

Although the Haijiao area of Nutao City is also a slum area, as an old city, there are still necessary public facilities. It is also subject to the continuous management of the administrative department, so it is transformable.

The lower part of the city of Saint-Lun is completely natural. The first settlers relied on rivers and drainage to build their houses, and later radiated to both sides of the water as the population grew. Basically, there is no overall urban planning, and at most some powerful people have limited management in their own spheres of influence.

What is enforced here is the true law of the jungle, where the strong are respected and the fittest survive.

On the second day after arriving in the imperial capital, Luke quietly entered the lower city with his fast legs. He fabricated a businessman's identity for himself, visited several leading figures here, and was considered familiar.

All that's left is to buy some out-of-the-way alchemy materials and mysterious items for Clear Sky and himself, and monitor a few interesting research trends by the way.

It was all going well, but it turned out ......

Luke couldn't help but look at Dai'er who was following him, and shook his head helplessly and walked into an old small building.

Walking up the creaking building, Luke said to Dale behind him: "This was originally a merchant's property, and then he made a fortune and wanted to leave here, so I entrusted a friend to buy this place as a disguised residence."

You live in his daughter's room and there are some old clothes in it that you don't throw away and can change into after the shower. ”

"Oh......"

Luke pushed open the door of a room and pressed a switch on the wall, and the dim light illuminated a small room. The decoration inside has a girlish atmosphere, and it is obvious that the merchant loves his daughter very much.

"There was a small washroom inside. The house has an automatic water filtration system, but there is no hot water. I don't think this little nuisance should be a hassle for you......"

Along the way, some half-dried clothes made Dale even more uncomfortable, and she couldn't wait to take a shower and change into clean clothes.

"I know how to use magic to heat water. Chief Detective Meteorite, can you get out?

This father-in-law mainly bathes! ”

"Here, my name is Luke and your name is Jasmine. If you say something wrong, I'll throw you into the pigsty next to you. ”

In the face of Luke's oppression, Dale stepped back in fright and slammed into the wall: "Listen to you, Fall...... No, it's Mr. Luke. ”

"That's right......" Luke exited the room, "I'll go prepare dinner and eat it after taking a shower." I have a lot more to ask you......"

"Yes, it's Mr. Luke."

Seeing Luke coming downstairs, Dale immediately closed the door and plugged in all the latches that could be inserted. Then he leaned against the door, patted his chest, and said in fear: "It's terrible! It's horrible! ”

Luke was in the kitchen on the first floor preparing food for Dale, and the fast legs who were in charge of cleaning up the marks and keeping an eye on the sentry walked in.

"Sir, it's all taken care of, no one is following you." Quickleg picks up a knife to help peel apples and asks, "Who is this girl?" Looking at the clothes and the magic wand, the family background should be very noble, right? ”

Luke knew that it was impossible for Dale to hide his identity, so he said truthfully, "Her name is Dale Augustine." ”

"Dale, nice name. Augustine...... Ao ...... almost cut off his fingers with a knife in his leg: "Chief Inspector, no...... Mr. Princess Dale, she's really Princess Dale! Why is she here?

You're not mistaken! ”

Hearing that the upstairs princess was actually Daer, her legs were almost stupid.

Their current behavior belongs to the kidnapping of the princess, and if they are caught, they will go to the gallows.

"Be quiet!" Luke listened to the voice upstairs and said to Fast Legs, "I don't know the specifics. Anyway, there are no magic flares in the direction of the Imperial City tonight, and it must be related to Princess Dale. After a while, I asked her what had happened, and you went outside to watch, so that no one could touch the corner of the wall and didn't know yet. ”

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, he cut the sliced apple into small pieces with a few knives, and then went out on guard.

While Luke placed a plate of fruit salad, a plate of fried egg sausages, and a few slices of bread on the table, Dale walked down the stairs with a towel wiping her hair after taking a shower.

Then, with a flick, the raised hair dangled from the roots of the hair to the ends of the hair. The remaining water was separated by the magic and formed a curtain of light in the air.

When she saw the food on the table, Dale's eyes immediately lit up. After the shower made her even more hungry, she rushed to the table and sat down, grabbed her knife and fork to eat.

And Luke stopped her at this time.

Facing Dale's puzzled eyes, Luke took out a potion bottle and placed it on the table.

"Since you've dried your hair with magic, use the magic to smear this bottle of hair dye on your hair."

"Why?" Dale looked at the unknown potion and was very vigilant.

"Your blonde hair is too glaring. Since you've run to Downtown, you don't want to be found by anyone else. ”

"Is this potion really okay?"

"If you don't wipe it, you won't eat."

Dale looked at the food in front of her, and the protest in her stomach made her finally compromise: "Okay...... Anyway, what do you want to do to me, you don't need to do anything with the potion. ”

Luke's face darkened.

In order to eat, Dale picked up the potion bottle and put the dye inside into her hands, then rubbed it in her hair. The residual magic on the hair strands makes it easier to disperse and absorb the dye, and the hair color quickly turns from blonde to dirty blonde.

With the ordinary girl's clothes on her body, she is finally not as eye-catching as before.

Luke was pleased with Dale's cooperation: "Let's eat...... Go out tomorrow and get some freckles on your cheeks, and you'll be the real jasmine. ”

Permissioned Dale immediately devoured the food, despite her reserve, and asked, "Why do you call me Jasmine, that's the name of my magic wand?" ”

Luke leaned back on the back of the chair, looked at Daile who was eating, and said with a smile, "In the lower city, I can't call you Her Royal Highness Princess Daile, can I?" Jasmine is just a name, I thought of it temporarily, and it suits you quite well. ”

"Okay. You're a professional agent, and I listen to you. ”

Dale continued to eat, and Luke asked, "What happened to you?" Why would you climb out of the drain? ”

"I was assassinated, I was thrown into a drain, and I didn't know how to get here." Daile said without raising her head, thinking about how to escape from this imperial secret agent. If he sent him back to the palace to invite merit, it would be difficult to run again.

Luke snorted, "You'd better tell me the truth." Save you, add a lot of risk to me, if you still lie...... I can tell Miss Weathersky that when I find you, you're a corpse. ”

Dale's body stiffened again, and she had heard a lot of notoriety from meteorites. He killed countless people in the city of Angry Waves, and legend has it that he had a mat made of human little finger bones, and slept on this mat in the summer.

"I, I'm escaping......" Dai'er, who was raised in the palace, was not Luke's opponent after all, and she was casually frightened and made all the moves: "......

Hey, I'm so stupid and stupid, you don't want to marry me. You told Sister Sunny Sky that you didn't find me, and let me go. I think you and Sister Sunny Sky are a good match...... No, if I were missing, my father would definitely marry Sister Agatha to you.

Sister Agatha is smarter and prettier than me...... You've earned it! ”
