"Oh, you're finally here, so many things have happened in the city in the past two days, and it's been a mess, I'm worried that you won't come to pick it up." In the fringe specialty store, the elderly shopkeeper showed a stone smile in his heart and greeted him from the counter, "Are you preparing to leave?" Well, compared to the dress, I feel that this dress is still suitable for us marginal travelers. ”

It was Babu and Monica who pushed the door in.

The two of them have changed out of the beautiful dresses that are eye-catching in the city, and have changed into the sturdy and durable regular clothes that walk on the edge.

Monica was wearing a short red jacket with black tight trousers, which set off the already conspicuous long legs more slender, stepping on the edge of the booty red-soled high heels, with her footsteps, her long maroon wavy hair swaying gently, with indescribable sassiness and capability. Babu was with her, still in the same tight-fitting white robe, with a hood covering her head that only showed her chin, and she couldn't see her face clearly, except for her light steps and nimble movements.

The shop is still the same, and it doesn't seem to have been affected by the turmoil of the succession of the city lord in the past few days, and the only change is the statue and huge portrait on the front. The sculpture has been covered with a cloth, the portrait has been removed, and the wall is crisp and refreshing, and there is no longer any trace.

The shopkeeper took the initiative to pull out a large box from the corner and opened it to see that it was filled with another set of lamps. The shopkeeper put out a full set of lamps and lanterns to display, and then asked: "Have you brought that set of samples, do you need me to debug it for you again?" ”

"Well, the sample is very good, so there is no need for debugging." Of course, Monica wouldn't say that we had sold the samples, she smiled mischievously at Babu, and said vaguely, "It's on the car, and it's troublesome to dismantle it, so we didn't bring it here, anyway, just pay for it according to the price." ”

As he spoke, he took out the fifteen gold coins that Elvis and the four of them paid for the lamp and lined them up on the counter, his movements were quite casual, as if he was taking out this huge amount of money and not worth mentioning, so that the shopkeeper couldn't help but marvel, and he didn't think that this money was the income from selling samples. After carefully checking it, the shopkeeper carefully put away the gold coins and put the lamps into the box with a smile on his face.

"You two don't look at anything else?" Seeing that the two were leaving, the shopkeeper's expression stiffened slightly, thought about it, gritted his teeth and stuffed another storage gem into the box, then reluctantly patted the box and closed the lid, looked at Anna in Babu's arms, and handed the box to Monica, "It's okay, always live in one place, everyone will live in waste, and the edge is where we belong." Let's go, this gem will be my parting gift, and on this one-way street, I wish you all the best to travel until you are old. ”

"Ha, thank you for your blessings." Monica was in high spirits and took the box with a smile, "I also wish you a flood of customers and a hundred gold every day." ”

"100 gold is too little, at least a thousand gold, hahahaha." The old shopkeeper laughed and sent the three out of the door, leaning on the door and watching the three leave, until he saw the three disappear into the door of the blacksmith shop, the old shopkeeper returned to his shop with a faint smile.

"Huh? What's the matter with you? What about the portrait of His Majesty? What about the greetings? I think you're resentful of Your Majesty. As soon as he entered the blacksmith shop, he heard movement in the workshop behind him, and Babu winked at Monica, suddenly raised his voice, and scolded in a cold voice, "What about the shopkeeper, come out for me, come with us, you ...... Uh, ahem, sorry, what about the owner? ”

Coming out of the back workshop was a thin and small woman, with messy clothes and a touch of blush on her face, who was sorting out her hair while coming out in a panic, and saw that the three of them were stunned at first, and then breathed a sigh of relief. And at this moment, a shiny bald head poked its head out of the workshop, saw Babu and Monica, the corners of his eyes jumped, wiped the cold sweat on his head and ran out, and protested dissatisfiedly: "Why are you running to scare people again, it doesn't matter if you scare me, what do you scare Lily...... Oh. ”

The burly blacksmith as tall as a brown bear stopped complaining by the petite woman next to him, and the woman smiled gratefully and said: "I know who you are, I was sick a few days ago, this guy almost had a big accident, fortunately you kindly reminded me, otherwise maybe I wouldn't have seen him." I've always wanted to thank you in person, but today I finally have a chance, you guy, why don't you say thank you quickly. ”

was roughly pressed on the head and bent down to salute, but the blacksmith laughed, thanked him again and again, and then straightened up, scratching his bald head and full of happiness, the petite woman Lily glared at him angrily, and said gratefully to Babu and Monica: "The rules in the city were really ...... a few years ago Thanks to you, you saved our family, alas, I hope it will get better and better in the future. By the way, what you wanted, that fool has already made it, don't look at others as stupid, his hands are still very dexterous,"

As she spoke, she pulled out a silver sash from a drawer under the counter, made from the Báb's drawings.

A belt made of a mixture of metal and leather, with a hard, silvery metallic sheen, and a few slits on it that allow the belt to fold up. There are a lot of hidden buckles and switches inside the belt, and I don't know what they are for, but looking at the concealment of these small switches, Monica always feels that they are not normal uses.

"All are customized according to the requirements on your drawings, and the error is definitely not more than one percent." Handing the belt to Babu, the woman was also a little curious, and asked for Monica, "I didn't use any valuable materials, it was pure delicate work, and in order to show my gratitude to you, I won't charge you the balance for this." However, can you satisfy our curiosity, what exactly is your belt for? ”

"Huh?" Babu had already wrapped his belt around his waist, and was pulling out some strange small metal objects from all over his clothes and inserting them into the hidden buckle of his belt, hearing the woman's inquiry, he casually pressed a switch on the belt, and with an undetectable sound, a wire hook shot upwards and was fixed to the beam of the roof, followed by a "whoosh", the steel cable contracted, and Babu disappeared in place, submerged into the shadow of the roof, and several people just watched as he disappeared from his vision.

A few seconds later, a black shadow flashed, and Babu fell from the roof back to the ground, his steps light and barely sound. But as soon as he landed, he noticed that the blacksmith couple was huddled together, and locked every piece of furniture with a worried face, glancing at Babu vigilantly as he locked it.

"Hey, you two went too far." Babu said dissatisfiedly, "And you, Monica, was you serious about taking a half-step back?" ”

Monica touched the hairpin on the back of her head, wrinkled her nose and snorted, but in the end she couldn't hold back, and curiously touched Babu's belt, which felt very strange, soft and hard, and could only be sure that it was quite strong. And a wide belt is tied around the cloth robe, whether it is color or shape, it looks very matched.

"Well, it's a set, but Jimmy, the blacksmith in Sol Town, isn't good enough to create something so fine." Babu gave a thumbs up to the blacksmith couple who were trembling together, "Don't make a fuss, your skills are really good, thank you, since you don't charge money, then the production drawings will be left for you, maybe in the future you can set up an organization, and the people in it will use these equipment to fly around and sneak into important places to carry out tasks." ”

Thinking about the future, he threw the blacksmith couple behind them, who shook their heads firmly in refusal, and left the blacksmith shop contentedly and stood on the slightly deserted streets of the city center.

As soon as I went out, I saw a carriage parked outside the door, and the manservant in a neat uniform stood straight outside the carriage, and when he saw the two people coming out with the child in their arms, he immediately stepped forward and respectfully handed over an invitation.

"My master invites two travelers to a banquet tomorrow evening." The manservant bowed his head and said politely, "I implore you two to take the time to attend." ”

Babu and Monica glanced at each other, glanced at the invitation hastily, and then nodded with a smile and accepted the invitation, and only when the servant was relieved to get into the car and leave, did they shake their heads lightly and sigh.

This is not the first invitation.

It has been three days since Wesley slept peacefully, and in these three days, both Sophie and Aurora have been quite busy, and the two of them are out of breath under the pressure of various government affairs, and the two highnesses who are completely inexperienced can't handle it on their own, and they are almost crazy when they are busy, especially Aurora, whose eyes are bloodshot from the next day, and want to break the bridge of the nose of everyone he sees.

In order to avoid a bloody case in the castle, His Royal Highness stepped forward, and whenever Aurora wanted to come to Hu, she stood up for the first time and scolded Aurora with more fierce words, and then was tied up and smoked by the angry Aurora, and finally both of them forgot about the previous problems and continued to deal with government affairs with satisfaction.

It's a delicate way to get along, but at least it's a wonderful balance to deal with the hectic side of government. And the busy sisters didn't have time to thank Babu and Monica for the past three days, although they wanted to and should, but the incident happened suddenly, and there was really no time and opportunity.

But the important ministers in other cities have time, and in the past few days, there are important ministers who send invitations to the two of them every day.

These two people have a good personal relationship with the two of them, and they have a close relationship with Abby of the temple, and at the critical moment, it was they who saved the old city with their own hands and uncovered Cui En's father-killing plot, so to speak, it was they who single-handedly pushed Aurora to the position of the city lord, and these two people will definitely be reused in the future, and their status will never be low, now is the best time to show goodwill in the relationship, and the important ministers will certainly not let it go.

So, within a few days, the banquet continued, and they didn't talk about business, it was pure communication of feelings, and several important ministers accompanied the two to eat, drink and have fun, and played in various high-consumption places, which was quite enjoyable, and there was no blank day.

But today...... Hey.

Fooling the manservant who came to invite them, the two were snickering back to the inn, and they had not gone long before a few fast horses galloped along the street. Although there was no sound, after the fast race, the people on the street seemed to have received a signal, the shops closed one after another, and the pedestrians on the street quickly dispersed, I don't know if they were rushing home.

Babu and Monica understood what was going to happen and quickened their pace, and just as they were returning with their suitcases and stepping into the inn, a long trombone sounded from a distance.

As soon as the heavy trombone sounded, the mournful atmosphere immediately spread throughout the city center of Donggu, and in the sound of the trumpet, dozens of white doves rushed into the sky, and the mournful whistle added a bit of solemnity and depression to the city.

Two carriages slowly drove out of the castle, one in four and one in two, one in front of the other and one behind, and entered the city streets, escorted by two rows of cavalry on the left and right. One large and one small, two transparent coffins were dragged by the carriage, the large coffin in front was richly decorated, and the old Wesley was lying in the city lord's dress, calm as if he was asleep. The coffin in the back is slightly smaller, and the decoration is much more simple, and Choi En sleeps quietly in his favorite standard military uniform, and the medals accumulated over the years almost fill the space in the coffin.

One can finally face the citizens as the city lord of his dreams, and the other finally gets the young body that he has been thinking about, the two don't know if they are satisfied with the current arrangement, probably satisfied, at least neither of them protested, and the convoy began to say goodbye around the city in the sad music.

Immediately following the two coffins, there were two ordinary and exclusive carriages of Aurora, before the convoy departed, Aurora and Sophie had already gotten into the car, although the two had not shown up since then, but from the window, the two could occasionally see the expressionless silhouettes of the two, occasionally looking at each other, but soon looking away, as if they were only seeing air, but even so, the two insisted on sitting in a carriage, and they were sitting side by side.

The carriages of the important ministers were also lined up, and they drove slowly to the sound of mourning music, and each carriage was draped with a long black veil, which fluttered as the breeze blew, adding a bit of a sad atmosphere to the city.

Mourning drifted slowly through the city and into the hotel window, and in the suite, Babu lowered the box and lifted the curtains, and looked at the slowly moving convoy in the distance with Monica, and sighed softly.

"What's wrong?"

Judy's hoarse voice came from behind, and when she turned around, she saw that she was standing tremblingly on crutches, and at this time she also changed out of the loose clothes she had been wearing for the past few days, and changed into a black and white dress, which was said to be a popular maid uniform in the royal city of Vera, and a sturdy and loose robe was put on the outside, holding her staff as a crutch in her hand, looking like she was about to travel.

Even though she struggled to stand, she refused Monica's support and enjoyed standing on her own. She slowly moved to the window, looked out the window like the two of them, and asked softly, "Do you regret it, and you are reluctant to leave?" ”

Yes, with the previous merits, you can live such a luxurious life with such a high position for the rest of your life, and smart people know what to do, but ......

The novel and unique world, the unknown and mysterious edge, although the rich and luxurious life is good, how can it restrain the uninhibited soul of the traveler?

The two looked at each other slyly and smiled, and everything was silent.

However, just as the two of them were about to answer, there was a soft knock on the door of the suite.
