Chapter 409: Goodbye Merlo
"Huh, can you go out?" Xing Han listened to the good news brought by Lan, to be honest, he didn't expect to be able to go to the outside city after entering the city of kings, but it is indeed a little boring in this kind of place, the secret of the throne has not been solved, and Lan can only spend a day under surveillance, if she is outside the city of kings, she should not maintain this cold face.
"Well, although the King's City is not a place where you can enter if you want, you are now my guests and can leave here at any time. Lanto flipped through the book in his hand with his chin and didn't seem to have any interest in the outside of the King's City.
Xinghan put down the throne and asked, "Aren't you going to go out with us?"
"Don't go. ”
"Hey, there's no one watching you outside...... Xinghan whispered close to Lan's ear.
"Don't go. ”
"If you lock yourself up here all day......"
"Don't go!"
In the end, he couldn't resist Lan, and Xinghan walked alone to the villa at the back of the palace, which was the place that Lan arranged for Bing Tong to them, and there were two guards outside, which looked like a prison.
"Mr. Xinghan, Miss Ice Eyes, they are not here. The guard stopped Xinghan and didn't let him go inside.
"No, where did they go?"
Another guard pointed to the golden gate in the distance and said, "They went out early in the morning, saying that they wanted to walk around here, and Lord Louifez had already instructed his subordinates to keep this villa safe." ”
"Well, I see, thanks. ”
Leaving the villa, since the girls are not here, it seems that it is time for him to go to the outside city to relax, and the fatigue that ran out secretly with Lan last night still remains, hoping that he can absorb some magic molecules when he gets outside.
It was a good feeling to leave the King's City and retrieve the source of mana, the mana filled the body again, and the weakness disappeared two-thirds in an instant.
Wandering the streets of the city, there was no one here, and the hovering tram speeding at high speed overhead made him feel a little uncomfortable. The streets of the city are not very complicated, almost all of them are in a straight line, and only a golden gate can be seen in the distance.
There are many shopping malls here, but it is surprisingly quiet inside, as Broken Star said, the city of kings is a place where only kings are qualified to live here, but why are these ordinary people here? Some of them are even inferior to beggars, as if they are forced to put on the clothes of this place and force themselves to live in this city.
"Cafe, is there such a shop here?" Xing Han stopped at the corner of the street, and there was a sign with the word café written on it at the entrance of the alley, and subconsciously turned into the alley, the environment here was not bad, as if someone had carefully cleaned it every day.
"Jingle Bell~"
The bell on the door rang a few times, and as far as the eye could see, there was only a manager wiping a cup and another clerk busy cleaning, and then a red-haired girl in a hoodie sitting in the corner sipping coffee from time to time.
"A cup of iced coffee, thank you. ”
"Young man, do you still want to drink ice on such a cold day?" the store manager raised his head, and the two eyes under the white eyebrows cast an inquiring light.
"Get used to it. Xing Han paid according to the list price, a total of three Malton gold coins, which was already a relatively cheap price compared to the third tier.
The store manager asked Xing Han to wait patiently for a while, and gave a dessert cake: "There are relatively few customers in our store, it seems that these cakes can't be sold today, if you think it tastes good, there are many more here, but the next ones will have to be charged." ”
Xinghan nodded, and took the cake to the table near the girl, this scene is somewhat similar, I remember that I was also in such a café when I met Sanchiba, I don't know how she is now.
After about five minutes, the clerk took the plate and put the cup on it in front of Xing Han: "Sir, this is your iced coffee, please use it slowly." ”
Xing Han took a big sip from his cup, he hadn't eaten in the morning, plus the toss like last night, he was already hungry now, and it seemed that he had to ask for a few more cakes to solve the breakfast problem.
"Wow - what a bitter ......"
"Oh, young man, drink slowly, or the mellow flavor of the coffee will be ruined." The manager was still wiping the cup in his hand and instructing the clerk to bring the cake from the kitchen.
"Ah, but the coffee here is really bitter, two or three times bitterer than the earth's. Xing Han smacked his lips, even if he drank so much in one gulp, he could still taste the mellow aroma of coffee in the aftertaste, "Fortunately, it tastes good." ”
"It turns out that this gentleman is not a resident of the continent of Errilanca, no wonder he thinks this coffee is bitter. "Hundreds of years ago, a merchant discovered the secret of coffee beans, and if the coffee beans were magically mixed together, the gaps inside them would become smaller, but this would make his coffee beans more expensive than other vendors. Soon after, the businessman's secret was discovered by others, and the beans were processed according to his method. His coffee, though bitter, is worth savoring for longer than drinking it, and since then, almost all cafes in ElriLanka have used these beans. ”
"Really...... It's a good idea to compress the volume of the coffee beans to extend the flavor duration......" The girl sitting at the table across from her suddenly chuckled.
This voice is very familiar, Xing Han looked at it carefully, but he couldn't see the girl's appearance anyway, the voice was very good, and she probably had a good face.
"You ......"
"Hmph~"
The girl slowly took off her hood, revealing a slightly childish face and long bright red hair.
"Merlot......
"Mr. Xinghan's eyes still need more practice, did it take you seven minutes and four seconds to recognize me from the moment you entered the door? Really, I still don't remember after seeing it so many times, no one knows my body better than Mr. Xinghan, right?" Merlo got up from her seat, her face almost touching the tip of Xinghan's nose.
Xing Han's face instantly turned red, he knew what Mei Luo was referring to in the second half of this sentence, so he quickly changed the topic: "Why are you here?
"Oh, I don't remember saying I wouldn't come to the King's City. Merlo sat next to Xinghan with her arms crossed.
"What about Camuel and Daisy, are they here too?" Xing Han looked out the window, but saw no figure.
"No, Sister Camus said that there was no need to see Mr. Xinghan, Sister Daisy originally planned to come with me, but Sister Camuel always refused to let her go out, and in the end I was the only one who came. Merlo's face suddenly changed, and she puffed out her mouth and asked, "Why did Mr. Xinghan come here so late?" I have been waiting here for three days, and I have not seen you all yet. ”
Speaking of this, Xing Han couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "Uh...... There was a slight accident during the teleportation, and our position deviated from the King's City, so it took three days to rush over. ”
"Oh, let me guess, Mr. Xinghan must have touched that magic door, right?"
"How do you know?"
"Sister Camuel told me that the magic door to the King's City, no matter who opens it, must not touch it, otherwise the time and space will forcibly change the teleportation direction due to the toucher, but without a map, I didn't expect Mr. Xinghan to find this place in only three days. Merlo said with a grin.
"Thanks to Broken Stars, we were able to find the City of Kings, otherwise we don't know where we would have been deceived by that fake map. ”
"Fake map?" Merlo looked at Xinghan curiously.
told Merlo what had happened these days, she didn't speak for a long time, her expression was very solemn, as if she was thinking about something important, for a long time, a few words slowly spit out from her mouth: "That's really the case......"
"What?"
Merlo hesitated for a moment and said, "Sister Camuel told me about the King's City before, when she first came here with her father, the King's City at that time was only the golden anti-magic gate. It wasn't until after her father's death, after Sister Camuel's sister had taken control of most of Judriland, that she returned to the City of Kings, but there was suddenly more of a city. ”
"I don't know if Sister Camur's conjecture is true, the city of kings has never needed the intervention of ordinary people, and the cities and villages that have appeared now ......" Merlo didn't finish her words, just bit her lip and glanced at the sky outside.
"By the way, has Mr. Xinghan found the friend he was looking for?"
"Well, I've seen her already, but I'm going to stay here and help her with another thing now. Xing Han nodded.
The store manager didn't know when it had disappeared from the front desk, leaving only the shiny cup behind.
"Another thing?"
"Have you ever heard of the name Lou Fitz 61 Lan 61 Molis Varner?" Xing Han was going to tell Merlot about this, if there was Wang Buxia's sight here, then his own words might be related to Lan's safety.
"The daughter of the Duke of Windrider? I have seen it in the book, and it seems that since the Revolution, she has disappeared with the Duke of Windrider in Errilanka. ”
"The friend I'm looking for is the daughter of the Duke of Windrider. ”
"Oh, that'......" Merlo didn't seem surprised, more of a slightly jealous tone.
Merlo didn't seem to be too interested in this matter, and Xinghan didn't continue to talk about it, and there was an opportunity to tell her in the future that there was no need to find out everything in the sight of the king.
"Now, Mr. Xinghan, are you living with Miss Lan now?"
"Uh...... In general...... Temporarily...... It's like this......"
"Hmm......"
"Merlote?"
