Androx visibly turned around, staring intently at Gotzo

e。

When she understood, she nodded and said, "I can see that you are an upright and frank person, so I will be frank with you." You've made my inn more crowded than ever. As a token of my gratitude, I will only charge you one silver coin per night for as long as you continue to share your story. I will continue to honor you, as I honor the king's kinsman. The clothes and food that I have given you are a reward, and I will not ask much more from you. ”

"I'm grateful," he replied, his voice full of enthusiasm.

Gotzo

E gestured down the hallway behind her, and a young manservant stepped forward and showed off a pair of light pajamas. "Do you want my servant to help you get dressed?" She asked.

A

okles agreed, let Ga

Bi stood up and got dressed. The servant took off her coat and covered her with pajamas. Then he carefully removed the silver mesh from her hair and placed it on Wolf SCA

On the table next to the cot. Then he changed into Andrkes' clothes, bowed and left the room.

"I haven't prepared a dressing gown for the fairy yet, but I will do tomorrow night. I hope he will forgive me," she said.

Wolf Scar drooped his ears in disappointment and said, "It's okay. I didn't have a dress until now, unless you count ...... Well, it's hard to explain. He slapped his chin and shook his leg off the edge of the table.

Andex waved politely and said, "I'm sure he'll be happy to sleep in it tomorrow."

Gotzo

E looked back at the hallway, then closed the door gently. "Mr. Andlox, I would like to remind you that as a guest in my house, fairies are the most precious treasures. Rumors of his superpowers are rife. Some say that your power comes from him. Others say that he could be used to bind the gods. Others, if this scares him, I ask for your forgiveness, want to eat him, want to be young again. I don't believe it at all, and I'll do everything I can to keep you safe. ”

"They think this little thing gives me strength?" Andlos pointed at the wolf sca

Say.

"They are fools, they are savages. I am a glorious woman, a pure-blooded Affinian, even though I was a baby when my father brought me here. I recognize a civilized person at a glance. I'm sure you are too. Master Androx, I would like to remind you that as much as I wish you would stay here forever, in my common room every night, and make me rich, you and a fairy are not safe in this town. The kings and nobles must have known by now. They will call you to them, but you shall not go. Meet them here and they won't hurt you in my house. If they threaten you directly, leave the city and never come back, lest you be deceived and get hurt," Gotzo

E said politely with his head bowed.

“Gotzo

Master e," he said, "I am honored by your suggestion. I can't even say how happy I am to find someone like you here, and this hostel. I really appreciate your warning. I sound believable. But I mentioned it in the common room: I can't leave unless I can find a place to put the little Ga

bi put it here. Is it possible for you to take her in?"

Gotzo

E sighed very sincerely and said, "I thought about it, but I was afraid that if she didn't recover, some men might misunderstand her status here and do something to her when she grew up." If she had an illegitimate child, I didn't want her to be hurt or disgraced to my family by keeping her bastard. The laws of Kelsel were very clear about the fate of the illegitimate child and the owner of the bastard. That's why I don't let women please male guests. ”

Androcles thinks that law is law, even stupid law prohibiting prostitution. He nodded, trying to hide his disappointment.

"Well, I'm not going to let you send me one anyway, because that girl is here, and I don't want her to fall down the stairs because no one is watching her."

"I'm glad you understand. Now, the last two things. First, I will have my servant greet your wife, Dela, to see if there is any more news. Is there anything else you can tell me about her?"

"Except for the description of her appearance and her bodyguards...... "Oh my God, I didn't mention bodyguards, did I?" She has four adult male Skywalkers by her side as her bodyguards. This is the best way to discover her. ”

"You mentioned the bodyguards, but you didn't say they were Skywalkers. Is there anything unusual about their appearance? Gotzo

E said.

"Except for the ears, tail, and hair?" He asked. "Honestly, apart from this, all I know is that there is at least one dog with light and dark patches of fur. I've never seen them myself. But one or two of them will go to town to buy supplies, and they may look for other Skywalkers who do business in this area. If you've heard about any orcs coming to town lately, please let me know. ”

"No one has ever stopped at my inn, but I'm going to ask. And one last thing: Tatalo was believed to be the servant of the Wild Mother, and it is believed that it was sent to punish the inhabitants here. She may be angry, or it may not really be dead because it was alive when you left it. I don't respect their goddess because I know she's cruel and petty. I don't have any advice for you at this point, but I want you to know. Now, do you want my servant to wake you up for breakfast? Or are we going to let you rest until you open the door?"

"Let me rest. As you may recall, after a few days, I have reason to feel tired," he said with a slight smile.

She smiled wryly and smiled back at his. "I think you know. Ah, I almost forgot! Before I leave, I want to see the fairy lying in bed. ”

Androx felt that she was more interested than she appeared, and only pretended to be an afterthought. Wolf sca

I don't know what the fuss was, but he took off his robe anyway, climbed into bed, and folded his wings on his back like a bug. The woman couldn't help it, she walked over and carefully stuffed the fairy into the cot. When he smiled at her in satisfaction, she blushed and covered her mouth with her hand.

"It's the cutest thing I've ever seen!" She said calmly. Then, looking a little embarrassed, she straightened up again, nodded solemnly, and gracefully slipped out of the room, closing the door casually.

Anders closed the door behind her, then carried Gabby to the bed and tucked her under the blanket.

"Alright, wolf sca

。 He whispered. The reason I'm telling everyone you're going to go with me is because people will say they'll take care of her so they can get you. "Got it? They'll lie, and when I'm gone, they probably won't even feed her. But if someone takes her alone, we know they'll take care of her. You can choose to stay with her or come with me. I don't care, but you have to tell everyone that you're going with me now. Got it?"

"Oh! I didn't expect that. All right. The fairy said. After a while, he lowered his voice and asked, "Are they really going to eat me?"

"Maybe some. Don't worry, though. Stay by my side and you'll be fine. After thinking for a while, he added, "If someone catches you and disappears like you were in a cave, they will think you have escaped." Now that I think about it, don't let anyone know that you can be invisible. Keep this secret until you have to use it. ”

"It's a good idea. I'm not going to tell anyone that if someone catches me, I can run away so they can't eat me. Do you think they want to eat me because I have bug-like wings?"

"Who knows what the barbarians are thinking?" Now go to sleep. ”

He turned off the lights and climbed into bed. The fairy's head glowed as usual, a little distracting in the dark, but soon dimmed as he slept. It took a while for Andelos to fall asleep, his mind troubled by everything the gods had set in his way; He didn't know when he would be able to shake off their anger and allow him to move on. Eventually, however, the whispers of the god of dreams worked, and he fell asleep.

* * *

He could feel the fresh, cold air on his tongue as he walked through the forest, feeling it biting at the back of his throat. Even though it was dark, he could see something moving in the shadows on the other side of the tree, something watching him. He walked away, careful not to make any sound, but somehow, it followed him. He looked down at the four rings he was wearing, the jewels glittering. He realized that they might reflect the moonlight that suddenly became very bright, making it easy for him to find, so he tossed them aside. First two hands held his hand, then two hands held his hand. He made them lie in the dirt without looking back. He heard a laugh behind him, a mysterious and bitter female laugh, looking at his things to find the jewel he had dropped on the ground. It followed him until it floated out of the window, its eyes flashing with a sickly glint, and it looked at him, and he curled up under the bed, all the more frightened.

Then, as he struggled to wake up, the dream slipped away. The morning sun shone in through the window, illuminating a square patch on the opposite wall. A

okles discover Ga

Bi was sitting on the edge of the bed and rocking back and forth. However, when he called her name, she did not respond. Surprisingly, the fairy was still asleep, curled up in a ball and lying on the bed. Only his ears and hair are exposed.

Okles stood up and opened the door. Two servants, a young woman and a young man from the bathhouse, were waiting for him. He said to the young woman, "Take this girl with you and take care of her needs." She nodded, then took Galby's hand and walked down the stairs.

Then Androcles stretched out his arms for him to change his clothes, and the young man agreed, giving him a new coat. The servant pulled the tunic to make sure it hung nicely on A

okles, then said: "My master said that your robe has faded permanently, and I regret her. She's working on another piece that will be ready this afternoon. Uh, I mean, yes. "He looked embarrassed. A

okles can imagine Gotzo

e drill polite language in them, and possibly prepare a stick.

"Wolf sca

It's time to wake up. ”A

Okles said with a gentle pat on the fairy's shoulder. He sits, sounding a bit like a bumblebee, and then sat up and stretched, yawning. A

Okles said to the servant, "His robe is there. Might as well involve him. ”

The fairy got up from the bed and stood up, her hands ready, and the servant carefully put on the robe, making sure that the wings were exposed from behind. Wolf sca

Seemingly pleased with himself, he tugged at the various parts of his robe, allowing it to sit comfortably. Then he flew over and sat on Anchors' shoulder.

He found the common room more lively than he had imagined, with about a dozen people sitting around eating and drinking. The servant led him back to the couch in the corner, where a bowl of apples and cheese awaited him, and next to it was a jug of wine.

"Can we offer you fried lamb, bread, or eggs?" The young man asked.

"That's it. Be sure to bring Gabi here, not back to my room. ”

The servant nodded and left. After a while, the young woman walked over with a passive Ga in her hand

bi。 "Gabi, please be seated," she said. Gabby sat down, "Master Andrax, she will do whatever you ask her to do." Anything goes. But I don't think she really understands what's going on. ”

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"Gabi, raise your arms above your head," she said. After a pause, Gabi raised his arms with a blank expression. "Put them down now." The little girl did so.

"I want you to know, in case someone else finds out, find a way to use her, or let her hurt herself," the young woman said. "If someone told her to stick her head in the fire, I think she'd do it."

"I see. You're paying attention. Androx said. Then he picked up an apple and placed it in Gabi's hand. "Eat this, girl."

Gabi took a big bite of the apple and never looked at anything with his eyes. The young woman bowed again and left.

"Can I taste the apples?" The fairy asked politely.

"Say it. Pick your favorite. Andox replied, bringing himself an apple and some cheese.

The fairy flew to the bowl and grabbed the stem of the bowl and placed it on the table. Then, he blushed a little and asked, "Can you open it for me?" I can't eat it because it's too big. I can't bite it. Then he tried to take a bite, but it didn't work. The little guy's mouth wasn't open enough to bite in.

A

Okles grinned and broke the apple in half with his hands. ”。 Start at the edge. ”

The fairy jumped eagerly a few times, then knelt down and bit happily.

"I thought you ate bugs."

"They didn't bring anything." Wolf sca

Said without any sense of humor.

A

okles let Ga

Bi ate a chunk of cheese and a little wine because she was less likely to complain if she started to get hungry. Wolf Scar ate almost a quarter of the apple, and Andoks didn't know where the fairy put the apple from their comparative size. His belly didn't seem to bulge much more than usual, though the little robe might have covered it.

A handsome boy walked over, a few years older than Andlos' suit, dressed in a linen tunic embroidered with an impressive floral pattern. He wore a pair of soft red leather shoes and a gold ring that held his oiled curls in place. He took a roll of brown paper, knelt on the ground, and handed it to Anchors.

Andrew took it and looked at it carefully. It was sealed with wax and the seal had a mark on what could have been an elk. He opened it and looked at it. "I don't understand, kid. These are not my letters. What is written on it?"

"The voice of the most revered Andro, the great and glorious King Bassanyan, summons you to appear in the halls of your ancestors so that you will be honored and respected and remembered forever. You are coming today at noon, because the sun shines on all things in the highest places, so your name will also be on everyone's tongue and lips. You are to take your fairy to the king and please him. "I am Basayan, King of Kelsos, and I am sending this letter at the hand of my son, the prince." The boy recited solemnly.

"You're the prince?" A

Okles asked.

"Yes, Master Andlox." He replied.

"Are you the eldest son, the heir?"

"No, Your Majesty. I'm the youngest. Everyone else is too busy. ”

"I see. Go and tell the king, I am not here for my younger son. If he wants to talk to me, if he wants to see my fairy, he can say it here, in this inn. He handed the scroll back, deliberately looking away. He didn't see the boy leave. It seems that Gotzo

e is right. The king, of course, wasted no time. There is no doubt that the nobles will soon appear, or send messengers. Now the only question is whether refusing the king in this way will incur a knife in the kidney.

Wolf sca

Apparently curious, flew up behind the boy until he left the common room. As soon as the door was closed, the fairy came back and asked, "Is this what the prince looks like?"

"I guess it's a kind of prince." "The princes of the Glory Nation learned the art of war from an early age, so that they could lead their armies into battle. I know a few of these people in the military. Even though the boy was very good-looking, it seemed to me that he was a bit weak. ”

"Why don't you want to go and see the king?" The fairy asked.

"You forgot about Gotzo

Did Young Master E say something last night?"

"Oh...... That's right. ”

As soon as the prince left, several more messengers came, promising to give him various gifts if he appeared in their estate. The two nobles even came in person, almost begging Androcles to join them. Although he refused a few times, each time they just offered more, as if he were haggling. Gotzo

Seeing that he was about to lose his temper, E saved him by announcing that his bath water was ready and apologizing to the VIPs who came to see him.
