Chapter 464: The Man Who Saved Her
"You may be seated, Miss Wind Spirit, and I'll pour my tea. β
The corners of Bud's mouth twitched, and the expression was very confusing. He hurriedly turned around and hurried to another room.
Sally suddenly panicked.
"Don't worry, we'll study everything clearly. Algernon, the "old scholar," smiled and comforted Sally in a calm voice. But......
"Miss Windling, if you really want to stand and watch, and think it's a custom you're proud of, feel free to do so. β
"I want to go back!" Freya yelled. It's noisy, her interracial accent is really strong, it's like a noisy sparrow.
"- Please be quiet as we speak, and if you are really the queen of the Feather Clan, please at least for the sake of the image of the Feather Clan, and do not leave an indelible impression on us 'not noble enough humans'. β
Algernon advised slowly. Freya's face turned black, and she looked away, staring at the door for a moment, then stealthily glancing at Sallyster.
"Hey, woman, I'm going to change my clothes. β
"Yes, please wait, because of what you have done today, I am not afraid to let Mrs. Blanche take you back to your room, and wait for Mr. Blanche to come back. Algernon had already been vigilant, but his tone of voice was neither humble nor arrogant, and Freya could not refute it.
She had no choice but to "snort", folded her arms, and sat down on the edge of the bench in a huff.
"It started a week ago. β
Algernon began to slowly recount the story that had happened not long ago, "Late at night. I walked around this lakeside, and sometimes it was hard to sleep when I got old -- oh, it was midnight and it was quiet, as has always been the case in this neighborhood. I heard an unusual noise on the surface of the lake, and I knew very well that I could have a premonition that something bad was happening in the emerald lake, but I was getting old. The curiosity of the elderly is a burden. β
Bud was soon back. Holding a black iron plate with a plain white porcelain teapot and five small teacups, he walked to the table, put the plate down, and silently poured tea for the guests.
But our Mr. Bard Blanche didn't sleep that night. Algernon glanced up at Bard. There seemed to be some reproach in his eyes. Bud jumped into the lake. There was no hesitation. He saw me, and he said, "Somebody has fallen into the water." β
"Someone assassinated!" Freya turned and shouted angrily. "How many times have I told you! I didn't mean to fall off by accident! Someone was going to kill me, they pushed me to the edge of the starry block! It's very high!"
"The young lady said that someone was going to kill herβ" Algernon simply continued, "oh, oh, of course that was what she told her after she awoke from her slumber. I think you know that when she fell into the water, because of the different positions, even the surface of the water would have a strong impact on the body, and I believe that she fell from the upper block, otherwise, she would not have been hurt so badly. β
"Miss Feng Ling was really seriously injured at that time, if it was a human, it would not be possible to get better so quickly, I don't know if the body of the Yu clan recovered relatively quickly. Budd frowned, he had just finished pouring a cup of tea, and straightened up with a look of doubt, "Mr. Yafil, do you need to add sugar?"
"Oh, no. Ivan looked up, slightly surprised, maybe Bud was a good fit to look at the store, he looked like a waiter.
"I helped Bud drag her to the shore. "She was unconscious," Algernon continued, "and hereβ" Algernon turned sideways, pointing to his right shoulder, "there was a crossbow arrow. Ivan Yafir, you must know that this city is inhabited by all kinds of human beings, not just old scholars like us. There are a lot of mercenaries in the city, and they are commissioned in the tavern to ...... with you."
"I see, Elder. Ivan hurriedly said, and the young lady was going to ask this and that again. If this young lady knew that he was a magician, the consequences would definitely be very severe.
"Who is he?" said the young lady, still at once, suspicious.
"It's a friend of mine 'personally'. Algernon solemnly put on the word "personal," "I and your savior, Mr. Bard Blanche, have placed great trust in him. Miss Freya Wind Spirit, I know you don't trust any humans, no matter what, no one asks for your opinion. β
"Another accomplice of yours?" Miss Freya Wind Spirit really didn't know what was in her head.
When my wife ran a fruit shop, she met those mercenaries, and she liked to talk to people, despite looking at her. Bard hurriedly pulled the conversation back, smiling apologetically, as if Freya was doing this nonsense, "That's why we can recognize the poison on that crossbow arrow, in fact, we don't know the mercenary at all." β
They had probably explained this to Freya a long time ago, but looking at Freya's disdainful face, it was useless to explain it a few more times.
"Hmm...... Well. This poison is called 'snake fang', and it is often used by mercenaries and explorers, and they encounter monsters and ...... If you are a beast that is more difficult to deal with, you will use that kind of poison. It's made of snake venom, and I've heard a lot of stories about it since I've been here. Sally hastened to add, perhaps feeling helpless, her eyes were dark.
"Who would believe that you're a magician and run a fruit shop!" exclaimed, Freya raised an eyebrow.
"I'm really not a magician!" said Sallyste, unfazed. was knocked unconscious by this young lady once, and she probably didn't have a good impression of Freya anymore.
"Can you be quiet for a moment, miss?" Algernon slowly turned to face Miss Freya. Ivan suddenly felt a gloomy black air rise from Algernon's back, and Freya's face turned white, and she turned her head away without saying a word.
"--It just so happens that there is an antidote and a healing medicine at home, and the antidote is prepared by myself, and after hearing what Sally said about that poison, I want to prepare an antidote, in order to ...... Just be careful, hehe. Bard smiled embarrassedly and scratched the back of his head, "I didn't expect the effect to be obvious, and it may just work very well on the Yu Clan, anyway, I haven't tried it before, so I took a risk." Miss Wind Spirit has had a high fever for three days, and I want to tell the silver-faced guards of the Feather Clan about her situation, but Elder Algernon ......"
"You've always been very careless. Algernon nodded sternly, "The city of the Feather Clan has not yet fully opened its arms to us, and we should be fully prepared before deciding to expose ourselves to unknown events related to the Feather Clan: find out where this young lady came from and why she was shot by an arrow." β
"I've told you all. Perhaps she was apprehensive about Algernon's intimidation just now, but Freya finally didn't shout at the top of her voice this time. Bud lowered his brow in frustration and pouted, his expression probably described as "crying and laughing".
"When Miss Wind Spirit woke up, as soon as she heard that I was a wizard, she couldn't listen to anything......
