Chapter XVIII. Visitors
While waiting for the tall Silver City Chief, Esther also recalled in her mind the thrilling explorations shared by the Sun, and gradually reunited the trusty leader of her imagination with the man with a resolute face and scarred face from before.
However, Amon knew that the "sun" was in Silver City, and this incident did not surprise Esther, and the experience of the boy being parasitic was shared with everyone in the Tarot Society.
At that time, there were only a few people at the table......
Esther's eyes darkened, she rummaged through her pockets, and poured out a diamond-shaped bright ruby, the bottom of the gem was a circle of silver bases, and on the back was engraved a vertical downward "Sword of Judgment", which was obviously a special badge of some kind of noble symbol, but Esther did not know where it came from.
She played with it in her hand, and even when the surrounding light was dim, it looked like a glimmer of flames, which was very beautiful, and that alone made her feel better.
Although there was a conflict with the other party, which made Esther feel inexplicable, since the person sent it to the door herself, she didn't mind charging a little "mental damage fee". After the other party passed out, she stealthily launched another "steal", directly stealing something from the person that made her subconsciously feel very valuable, and finally got her hands on this strange gem.
The crow noticed the crystal clear ruby in Esther's hand, and looked down curiously, "Where did you get this?"
But before Esther could answer, Raven had already thought of the answer: "Oh, the previous Prince of Grove?"
Esther was rubbing the surface of the gem with a smug smile on her face, but the crow's words directly made her smile freeze at the corner of her mouth: "Wait, you mean that the guy who is dressed like a lame turkey is the Prince?" He is the Prince of Sunia of the Kingdom of Rune?"
Still staring at the jewel in Esther's hand, the crow replied nonchalantly, "Yes, the younger of the Augustan family. They have their big family noses on all their pennies, and you should have noticed that."
Seeing that Esther was staring at the gem in her hand, the crow continued, "The badge engraved on the back is a symbol of the Augustan family's inheritance, although it is only a matter of the previous era."
Esther could hear the word that the crow had deliberately accented, and for the Amun family, the "long-livedness" of the Augustan family was really not worth mentioning.
"You seem to know what this thing can do?"
Esther handed the gem to her head to make the crow see better, but the crow stared at what was in front of her and pushed Esther's hand away with her wings, "I don't know."
"You're always telling unnecessary lies to me, you should know that I can 'listen', right?"
The crow chuckled before saying, "Even if you don't know what it's for, you can see that it's valuable, so keep it."
Esther turned around the emblem again, looking reluctant: "I always think it's special, and it would be a waste to sell it as an ordinary gem."
"You can give it to me, too." Raven said casually, not expecting Esther to take it seriously.
Esther's eyes suddenly lit up, "Can you use it to make you give up the 'Source Castle'?"
After a dozen seconds of silence that froze the air, the crow pecked hard at Esther's head, "Do I look as stupid as you?"
As Colin Iliad climbed out of the trapdoor with another council elder, he saw the sight of the lady he had repeatedly stressed as "mysterious, quirky, high-ordered, and unpredictable," pecked by the bird she had brought with her, screaming and waving her arms in an attempt to chase away the creature that was holding on to her hair.
Esther grabbed the raven and shouted in Rune, "Enough is enough! Someone's coming!"
Amon had noticed this, of course, and if it weren't for the crow's lack of resistance, Esther could have snatched it off her head so easily. For Esther's move of grabbing herself from the top of her head and holding her in her arms, the crow only
He snorted, and even refused to speak in front of the other two.
Colin's face was not obvious, but the lady beside him could clearly see that this trustworthy chief was in a rare mood of "confusion".
Esther looked over and saw the lady next to the chief of Silver City, her thick silver-gray curls draped behind her head, wearing a black robe embroidered with many purple mysterious patterns, her face looked like she was about thirty, and her pale gray eyes were bright and sharp, like thorn bushes with water.
While Esther was looking at the other party, one of the members of the "Council of Six" in Silver City, "Shepherd" Lovia Tiffany, was also carefully observing this "high-order extraordinary person who is very likely to come from the outside world".
As for how high the real strength was, within minutes of the two of them climbing the round tower, Colin repeatedly told Lovia not to test this.
The reason he asked Lovia to dismiss the idea was also very simple, just a simple summary of what happened at the end - the thunderstorm in the sky had completely stopped, and this lady was the one to solve the matter.
Lovia had no objection to the task given to her by Colin, and although she didn't quite understand why she was the one who was the escort, she took it as a trust and was ready to fight hard with the other party.
Colin didn't mention that he had seen some kind of lark phantom, on the one hand, he still had doubts about the identity of "Esther", a fairy tale that was not only in Silver City, a story that had no signs for thousands of years, and Colin did not believe in a person who suddenly appeared but echoed the story.
On the other hand, he also doesn't trust Lovia that much.
Colin cleared his throat and introduced the people around him, "Then according to our agreement, Lord Esther, this is Lovia, and she will accompany you around the city during your visit to Silver City."
Esther smiled first, saluted Lovia's chest, and greeted her in the same way that Zoya remembered on the continent: "Hello, just call me Esther."
After seeing the previous scene and seeing each other with her own eyes, Luo Weiya's tense state relaxed slightly, and on the surface, this task didn't seem to be too dangerous.
What's more, because of that very special hearing, Lovia picked up a little strange humming sound from the lady.
Lovia returned the salute with much more deference than Esther, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she seemed to be suppressing some kind of excitement: "Lovia Tiffany, one of the members of the Council of Six in Silver City."
The crow lying in Esther's arms narrowed her eyes, and a voice came to Esther's consciousness stealthily: "Be careful, she is a believer in that madman."
