Chapter 339: Uninvited Guest 1
At breakfast, a letter was delivered to Siegel's table. The edges of the envelope were a little damp, but the wax was intact. The image above is a robin holding a scale.
"The messenger was a businessman who claimed to be from Ximu Town. The servant reported to Siegel.
"Whose coat of arms is such a robin?" Siegel wondered. Without Janet, if you want to figure out things like the heraldic insignia of the nobility, you can only look up books. However, the thick "Records of the Continental Family" can be regarded as the most boring book in the world, and Siegel can't read it every time.
He has officially become the Earl of Heim, and his coat of arms and life are enough to be recorded in the book "Records of the Continental Family", and the official viscounts and barons under his command will also be recorded. But now there are only Mana, Hum, Moore, Kenki, and Griner.
Siegel shoved the peeled egg into his mouth and opened the letter. After only two glances, he stood up abruptly, with eggs still spraying in his mouth, and asked, "What about the messenger?"
"It's still outside. The servant said.
In the hallway outside the hall, Jeff Gold was sitting on a bench, yawning boredly. The sturdy body he had cultivated from the blacksmith had been blessed, and his muscles had long since disappeared under the fat. It took Siegel a little to recognize him from his face surrounded by three layers of chin and wavy curls.
"Lord Siegel, Mr. Baron Squid. Jeff Gold stood up and stooped down in a shuddering manner. "Jeff is always there for you. β
"Now I'm an earl, but don't worry, it's nothing in front of old friends. Siegel had to push his hands to straighten him up. "You must have had a hard time sailing across the ocean like this. β
"Fortunately, I took the initiative to pay for the ferry tickets for two people and divided a larger cabin, so it was not hard. "He's close to Siegel. He lowered his voice and said, "But the other passenger is not very well, and the seasickness has not fully recovered yet." β
"Where did you place him?"
"An inn called Swan Lake. β
"I know there. When I change into casual clothes, let's go together. β
With the use of "Rabbit Ear Port" and "Wand Road", the transportation of goods has led to the development of commerce. The thirst for supplies in the aftermath of the war led to the rapid development of those territories that still retained production capacity, and the leader of them was the Heim Territory.
First of all, there is the best-preserved agricultural system in the entire New World. Whether it's grain, vegetables, fruits or livestock, Heim Collar can be sold on a self-sufficient basis. The iron mines of the Walled Mountains and several mines in the recovered castles began to work again, and various industrial goods were marketed in the south.
Novelties from the northern Raven tribe and the starting outpost were another big selling point, enough for the merchants who traveled back and forth between the two continents to smile. The original city of Mir was no longer large enough to accommodate the growing size of the city, and in order to allow the lord to have a quiet space to study spells, the residential and commercial areas were all moved to the northeast.
A large number of houses were being built, and everyone was optimistic about the future potential of Myr, and it was said that the gold from the sale of the land alone would be enough for Heim to spend ten years - only to cover what was left after excluding the cost of Siegel's magical research. Swan Lake Inn is run by Viscount Griner's youngest son, and is one of the better hotels in the business district.
That's why Siegel had heard of the inn. Or because it sent three roasted swans to the castle when it opened. "This is a big dish at the banquet of the nobles of the Star Kingdom, I hope the lord can like it. β
The dish made a good impression on him.
He wore the guard's smock and the merchant's cloak, and his defensive staff was tucked away, but he still had the Rainbow Orb ring. Using magic to dye his hair, change the color of his lower pupils, and put on a big smile, Siegel resembles a merchant apprentice who can no longer find the temperament of a lord.
He rode in a hired carriage. Go out through the side gate of the castle and follow the potholed dirt road. It's not that I don't want to fix this road. It's the need for excess transportation that always crushes it over and over again. On the way, Siegel asks about Master Bill.
"He's getting married in the fall, and I don't think it's going to be in time. Jeff's flesh trembled as he jolted, but his voice was steady. "Countess FerrarΓ‘n Tormont is a beautiful woman, and it is said that fifteen years ago she was pursued by half a kingdom. The previous Count of Tormont had just married her. He died on the battlefield of exterminating the bandits. Rumor has it that the Countess may still be a virgin, but I don't believe it much. β
"Her life is ...... Is it chaotic?" Siegel asked, frowning.
"Haha, not what you think. Jeff said, "Sir Bill, what do you say?" He has a unique charm and is very popular with aristocratic women. The Countess FerrarΓ‘n Tormont had seen the suitors of half the kingdom, but fell in love with Sir Bill's charm and wanted to marry him. I think that in addition to his swordsmanship, battlefield knowledge and temperament, his kung fu in bed must also be amazing. β
It's possible, Siegel thinks of the "battlefields" that Sir Bill has always conquered in the town in the past, and knows that Jeff's guess is probably true. Along the way, he listened carefully to Sir Bill's tales, and learned that he had exterminated thieves and bandits in the Starry Kingdom, cleaned the lair of the Wyvern, and exterminated the trolls entrenched in the mountains. He is running from place to place, his fame is far and wide, and he is about to have his own territory because of marriage and realize his ideals.
"He's thinking about you on the other side of the sea, but he's confident that you can do it well. It's just that because of the sea and busy affairs, he can't come to see you. Jeff stopped the carriage and said to Siegel, "My lord, it's here." β
The Swan Lake Inn has ten rooms, one each occupied by Jeff and his guests. Before Siegel could knock on the door, he heard a woman's giggling inside. He glanced at Jeff and asked with a look in his eyes, "Didn't you say that the seasickness didn't recover?"
Jeff Gold made an unaware gesture.
The door was unlocked and opened as soon as it was pushed. Siegel walked in and nearly tripped over her skirt on the floor. Evan Moonflower β Now Evan Stars is lying topless on the carpet doing sit-ups. A petite woman sat naked on his navel, her chest held up, fingers hooked at Evan.
"Not bad. At least you're still wearing pants. Siegel rolled his eyes.
"Good times always end quickly. Evan brushed his golden hair with his fingers, then pushed his elbows on the ground and stood up with the woman in his arms. He said to Jeff, "Don't forget to tip, Jenna is a nice girl." β
"Thank you," the woman ran her fingers over Evan's chin, rubbing against him. Then he started picking up clothes on the ground. During this time, he did not forget to give Siegel a wink, and then ran away with a smile in his hand.
"Recovered from seasickness?" Siegel nodded to Jeff, who walked away in amusement.
Evan picked up a bottle of wine from his plate, sniffed it, and threw it back. "If I hadn't pretended to be seasick, that fat man would have killed me along the way. His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, annoyed me. Don't you have water here? Light wine is fine. β
"You're not like your brother in this regard. Siegel opened the space bag. I took out some medicinal herbs from it and brewed it with condensing tea.
"Aaron is a poor fellow, in poor health, and stubbornly trying to be king. He didn't understand that the burden was going to crush him?" Evan gulped down the condensing tea, smashing it and smashing it, looking unfinished. "I thought that if I continued to fight, he would be angry with me first, so I withdrew. β
He stretched hard. Relax your body for a while, and then say, "I want to come and go." You are in the best place here. Away from those worries, safe, and able to get the best hospitality. β
"Not long ago Count Todd came to the New World, and we met once. He suspects you've come to Heim to look for me, and tells me to keep him informed of your whereabouts. β
"Will you tell him?"
"Even if you jump in front of him, I'll change his memory. Let him forget about it. Siegel waved his hand to drive away the excessively sweet aroma in the room, and then said, "You can rest assured that you can stay with me for as long as you want." You'd better wear makeup though, I'm not sure if there will be any spies from Count Todd in the territory. Of course. If you don't get bored, you can stay in the castle. It's safer and more private there. β
"Okay, then you're welcome. Evan said with a smile.
"You haven't even worn a shirt yet, so what's polite?" Siegel chuckled. "You're a prince, I'm not a count or lord, isn't it good to talk about etiquette?"
"I'm a king, but I haven't ascended the throne yet. Evan said, then picked up his clothes from the ground and began to put them on. He reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a necklace to hang around his neck, and Siegel's eyes widened when he looked at it.
"You're a hundred-sided dice?"
"Hey, can you see this?" said Evanle, "I asked a lot of people, and they could only see the necklace, but they didn't see the round thing. By the way, you told me about the dice, and even though it wasn't in the place you said, I finally found it. What the hell is this thing for?"
Evan took off the necklace and tossed it to Siegel.
The hundred-sided dice are heavy, at least heavier than the same volume of gold. The material and pattern of this dice are exactly the same as those of the twenty-sided dice, and it is likely that they have the same origin. However, no number is lit on this dice, from 1 to 100, and each side is exactly the same.
Siegel plucked his dice and placed them together with the hundred-faced dice. Evan shouted, "You have one, but the number is much less!"
"I was born with this dice, but I didn't get them back until I was an adult. "My dice have a lot of features, such as allowing me to turn on psionic vision. β
"Wow, that's amazing. Evan couldn't help but look at Siegel's pure white eyes, and let out a voice of envy. "My dice aren't that magical, but when I have an ability, I just can't lose anything. β
He opened his palm, clenched his fist, and then released it again, and the hundred-faced dice appeared in his palm. Siegel didn't even see how it had disappeared from his grasp. However, this also shows that the hundred-faced dice are indeed Evan's thing, otherwise he would not have followed orders like this.
"Come, let me tell you what I know about dice so far. Siegel sat down and placed the twenty-sided dice on the coffee table in front of him. "It started when I was born. (To be continued.) )
