Volume I: The End of the Outlaw 63
"Where have you been?" Ralph stared at me.
"Get down to business." I say.
"Do business, or have fun?" He picked the corners of his mouth contemptuously. "It seems that you are not tired."
"Of course. Thankfully, I'm young and strong. "I looked at him." The main thing is that the waist is good. ”
"Stop talking nonsense. Where have you been in the past two days? ”
"Are you questioning me?"
"What do you think?"
"I'll just say, you're not just here to keep an eye on Fred."
"I'm too lazy to stare at you, and I'm not obligated to stare at you, boy. All I care about is our business, and nothing goes wrong. ”
"What could go wrong? I'm not idle! Do you think I stayed in some woman's arms for two days without getting out of bed? You are wrong, Mr. Ralph! ”
"I need to report."
"Debrief! Report! Are you going to tell the lone wolf that I like to peek at the prince and the woman! ”
"I'll talk about your fetishes while drinking if you like, but do you know how many nobles have been in and out of the embassy in the two days you've been gone?"
I rolled my eyelids.
"I'm trying to figure out how to get the notebook that Lone Wolf wants. Do you think it's easy to deal with this woman who doesn't sleep? ”
"How's it going?"
"There's a way." I pulled a small black bottle out of my fanny pack.
"That's it?"
"I'm the only one on the black market in all of Lordaeron and even in the entire northern kingdoms." I said it unceremoniously.
"When are you going to do it?"
"When needed." Ralph watched as I put the bottle back in my pocket. As I spoke, I pulled out another small bottle. "If you need this one day, I can lend you some. Just one drop! Majestic and majestic. I looked at his face with a wicked grin.
"Keep it for yourself." He turned and walked out.
What an unpleasant old fellow.
There were still a few hours left before dawn, and I couldn't wait to get into bed, really exhausted. In that library tower, I had been circling around with an old white-bearded man there during the day. When they get off work, they continue to look for clues. Moving the heavens and the earth, I can only move myself. In the end, I finally found the record of the Purple Lotus, but it was not in that big dictionary. Instead, it was in the shoulder pocket that the white-bearded old man carried with him.
There were two books in the shoulder pocket that the old man was carrying, and it was estimated that he was still studying the more sophisticated things. Includes records of the dispensing of potions to certain nobles. And only one of them has to do with the potion I want to make, and this is actually for Terenus Minahir, the current king, and it is the only one that does not record the time of preparation.
Suddenly I was woken up by Ralph. He handed me a note.
"When?" After reading the note, I looked up and asked him.
"This morning."
Trying to open his eyes and yawn. "Can't you tell me to sleep more?"
"Don't you need to recharge?" He said to me with a smile.
The lone wolf has written and asked me to contact Oriden. The note clearly told me what to say.
"You'd better think about it." There was no expression on Ralph's face.
Not being in contact with your leader for a long time is not necessarily a good thing, especially if you are entrusted with a heavy task. At this time, I was not worried about this, what the lone wolf asked me to report must have been very interesting to the prince. Fred is plotting to bring him down.
Two days later I received several "cordial greetings" and the only request from Prince Oriden to kill him as soon as possible, no matter what.
"What instructions does the lone wolf have?" I leaned against the window and looked at Ralph.
"Not yet. Just wait. ”
"Could it be that Oriden's order was consulted with his staff?"
"I don't think so."
"Where's Alyssa?"
Ralph looked at me. "What do you mean?"
"It's not interesting, the beautiful Alyssa blows the wind in her ears by Ouriden's side and is much more useful than Barov and the like."
"You might as well sleep again considering these useless questions." Ralph said.
"You don't seem to like to like talking about these things."
"Just do your job, sometimes it's a burden to think too much."
"I'm not mentally burdened."
He snorted and ignored me.
Without the instructions of the lone wolf, we could do nothing but keep watching. But in the past few days, Fred has come into contact with more and more Lordaeron nobles. One of them caught my eye – Glico Agamande.
Of course I know Agamandel, and I also know that this guy is said to be one of the top dukes in the kingdom of Lordaeron. I also knew that this guy's future family would be extremely miserable, but of course I didn't tell Ralph about it. He won't believe it.
With the last day of the Winter Veil Festival just around the corner, the city of Lordaeron is already immersed in the grand festive atmosphere. Although it is the Winter Veil Festival, the weather is not only very sunny but also getting warmer.
This warmth gives me a primal urge. After all, the girls shed their heavy winter clothes and changed into bright and loose clothes. Before the end of winter, everything has begun to recover.
I also received a reply to my report to the lone wolf, don't touch him.
Pinching the lone wolf's reply, I couldn't help but have a thought in my heart. Jorazi Ravenhod...... I keep repeating the name in my heart. Ravenhold, who never seems to take the initiative, may be the real protagonist of this game.
From Ralph's mouth, I didn't hear what Ravenhold had gained from this partition of Gaufrey's territory. Maybe that's not something we should know. To be honest, I don't know anything about Ralph. Although we work together, this guy doesn't seem to be the same as me. I looked at the rune markers on my left hand again, and suddenly a feeling came over me as I was watching.
Playing for Ravenhord, is this my future? I remember that I used to want to be free, and now I'm not completely free, but I'm still free......
While he was thinking, Ralph came up from downstairs.
"Tomorrow the King will give a speech in King's Square, and a day of revelry will begin in King's Square." He said.
"Have you found a female partner?" I turned my face to look at him.
"Do we have a holiday?"
"We're on holiday every day." I say.
"Only God and the dead have holidays."
"The last person to tell me that...... Hmph, I don't bother to remember his name. "I can't really remember the name of that sweet potato-like guy.
"People are actually good, and they can always say something meaningful."
"This sentence obviously doesn't mean much." I retorted. "And I don't like him very much."
"Tomorrow you go get your notebook. I went to stare at Fred. He said.
"What's there to keep an eye on? You're pretty good at arranging work for yourself. ”
Early the next morning, the noise and frolic from the streets kicked off the carnival of the Winter Veil Festival.
Standing by the window and looking at the children and busy adults playing in the street, I suddenly felt a sense of trance. Last year's Winter Veil at Ravenhold Manor received no gifts other than a bit of gingerbread and some hot cider. It's Chinese New Year again......
Spring festival...... I still think it's like a dream, but I don't dare to experience it being killed or whatever.
I didn't want to wait to see Ralph's stinky face and climb out of the attic window early. Running and jumping on the roof of the house gave me an inexplicable sense of pleasure. The weather was very pleasant, with some kites and flags fluttering in the cloudless blue sky. All the squares are decorated with streamers and buntings, and even fireworks have been brought in.
The faces of the guards of Lundaren were as serious as if they were facing a great enemy. Either they are dissatisfied with overtime, or they are probably afraid that they will be careless and ask a little villain to light the fireworks in advance.
The jugglers and troupes in the city are also making their final preparations, and the girls dressed in colorful clothes have happy smiles on their faces. Watching them laugh, I laughed too. I don't know why, it just feels good.
The embassy is also well decorated, and the eagle flags around the villa have all been renewed. The fence was also repainted. In the courtyard where there were no servants, the guards brought by Fred were already busy preparing the banquet place and meal for noon.
Hiding behind a large chimney, I used the binoculars I had bought on the black market to look at Fred's room window. Miss Eve seemed to be unusually busy to-day, walking past the window again and again, and changing her clothes one after another. It seems that she is going to attend the noon square rally with Fred.
Six tall guards stood around the two carriages on warhorses. The carriage was decorated with the flag of Alterac and was gorgeously decorated. A curtain of heavy silk and tassels of gold thread hung outside. Today, the guards were in good spirits, Alterac's orange robes were worn over the shiny armor, and the eagle's emblem was on their chests and capes at the back.
The ambassador was dressed very formally. The various badges hanging on his body felt like he knew how to display them. When the little lovers came out of the villa, it felt like it was almost noon. The ambassador seemed to be in a hurry.
For the first time, I saw the woman's appearance clearly. The not very outstanding facial features are embedded in a tender white goose egg face. The proud chest may be the key to conquering Fred, a poor child who lacks maternal love.
The group of people attending the celebration slowly drove out of the embassy. Seeing them go away, I put away my binoculars, it was time for me to go to work.
The people in the yard are busy, and the people in the villa are not idle. Entering the villa was easy and enjoyable. The prince's room was filled with an alluring smell of perfume. Looking at the many pieces of clothing thrown on the bed and chair, I gently locked the door.
Slipping out of the embassy, I still chose to run on the rooftop. The main thing is that the view is better and the obstacles are a little less than on the road. But at this time, I was not happy at all, and the small bag around my waist slapped my waist with my running and jumping. Originally, I wanted to keep some of this rare potion, but it seems that I have to use it for these two people in the next few days.
Königspplatz has been seen, and the square is packed with people. With bursts of chanting, it seemed as if Terenus's speech was coming to an end. At this time, I couldn't find Ralph at all, just like looking for the Purple Lotus in the Alchemy Academy. But finding Fred is easier.
Standing on the roof of the outermost part of the square, I turned to jump from the back of the house, and the gods played a big joke on me.
There were a few people in the alley not far away, and one of them was so familiar to me when I looked at his clothes!
