Chapter 44: The Young City Lord

Why was Wednesday so surprised? Not anything else, but the sight on the street made him a little incredulous.

Last night's fight was witnessed on Wednesday, not to mention the rivers of blood, but there were a lot of stumps and broken arms. But after the middle of the night, the streets were as clean as if nothing had happened, and there was not even a trace of blood to be seen in front of the inn.

After watching it for a while, Wednesday praised it, this floor washing is really professional, and there is no trace left. It's no wonder that Wednesday looked incredulous, he thought that the next morning's Shura-like scene would definitely be chaotic for a while when ordinary people saw it, but the reality was completely opposite to what he thought. I just don't know which side is in charge of cleaning.

But none of that mattered, Wednesday was just surprised. But then I saw some people talking about something in front of the hotel, and I wondered if it had something to do with Margaret.

Thinking of this, Wednesday got dressed and took the little Dandan downstairs to squeeze into the crowd, but what he saw was a notice. The content of the notice is very simple, it is a reward for famous doctors. A reward of 10,000 gold coins will be offered to a famous doctor who can treat incurable diseases, no matter what method is used, as long as it can be cured. Then I briefly described the symptoms above.

Don't think about it, it must be Margaret's serious condition. Do you want to go in and see Margaret? Wednesday was frowning when a group of soldiers parted the crowd, and several swordsmen walked to the door of the shop in a crowd of old and young.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper immediately stood up, bent down and saluted, "Young City Lord, you are." ”

"I want to see someone upstairs," the young man tilted his head, and a swordsman beside him followed to sweep the shopkeeper aside, and then entered the hotel in a menacing manner. The soldiers stood at the door, tore down the bounty notice, and shouted, "Okay, okay, it's all right, let's disperse." ”

Wednesday took a few steps back as the crowd squinted at the soldiers, feeling very unhappy. The young city lord, that is, the son of the city lord here, is too domineering. But just now I saw that the young city lord was accompanied by an old man, could it be that old man knows how to heal? This young city lord is here to receive the reward?

After thinking about it, I couldn't figure it out, but when I saw the swordsman's skills last night, I also knew that ordinary people couldn't hurt Margaret, so I didn't take it to heart, but thought that if the young city lord's person could cure Margaret's disease, it would be better. Anyway, Wednesday was not confident that he could cure Margaret.

Thinking of this, Wednesday dispersed like a passerby, bought two breakfasts and returned to the hotel, calling for Chriss.

Chrissy hadn't had a good night's sleep in the past few days, and she felt like she had to get out of bed while lying on her soft mattress. After washing his face, he felt a little more energetic, and while eating, he asked Wednesday, "Bruce, are we on our way today?"

Wednesday shook his head, "No, we have to wait depending on the situation." ”

Chrissy snorted, for it was better for her to be jolting on her back on Wednesday than to be in this hotel without even being able to get out.

Seeing Chrissy's expression, Wednesday warned: "Don't think about running around, the situation outside is very chaotic right now." If you get lost, I won't bother looking for you. ”

Chrissy snorted and didn't speak again.

Before the meal was finished, Wednesday noticed that there was movement on Margaret's side, and hurriedly ran to the window to look. I saw a group of people walking out of the hotel around a girl, in addition to the giant sword man last night, there was also a mage and other swordsmen, and the leader was the young city lord.

Margaret wore a long white dress and a white top hat, and if it weren't for her terrible hairstyle, she would have looked like a princess. She was helped into the carriage, with the others on the right and left, and the soldiers divided into two groups to follow the back of the hall, and then walked down the street towards the center of the city.

Wednesday frowned as they disappeared around the corner, and Jean told Chrissy to go back to the roof while no one was looking. Standing on the roof, you can almost see the general appearance of the entire city, and you can naturally see the location of the convoy.

I saw the car carrying Margaret driving slowly towards a large mansion in the east of the city. Looking from the top of the building, the house is quite large, there are several houses in the backyard alone, counting the middle courtyard and the front yard, it is more than enough for dozens of people. Not to mention anything else, the pond in the backyard alone seems to occupy a lot of land.

Could it be that there is some kind of residence of the young city lord? Wednesday had the heart to investigate the situation, but he thought that the people around Margaret were not weak, so he suppressed the impulse in his heart. The people around Margaret are not vegetarians, and if he breaks in rashly, he will definitely die a miserable death.

And since he knew that Margaret had someone to answer, Wednesday was also a little wary of those people. After all, Wednesday knew their secret, but he wasn't their person, and if they wanted to say that they didn't want to kill him and kill Wednesday, Wednesday himself didn't believe it.

So if you can't make sure of your own safety, you will definitely not approach those people casually on Wednesday.

Seeing Margaret enter the courtyard and live in a house in the back, and seeing the soldiers on the perimeter of the courtyard walls, Wednesday was relieved. But seeing that the others had also entered Margaret's room, Wednesday's heart hung in the air again.

It was almost noon, when the young city lord and his people left the house and returned to a compound in the center of the city, but the soldiers remained outside, not knowing whether they were used as guards or for surveillance. Of course, Margaret has high-ranking people around her, so she shouldn't care about those soldiers. It's just that I don't know if the young city lord brought the person cured Margaret's illness, and I also don't know why the young city lord arranged Margaret and his party like this. Could it be that Margaret's identity has been exposed? Wednesday frowned and thought about it, thinking that it was unlikely, if any person with a little power knew Margaret's identity, then Margaret would have been arrested a long time ago.

But this matter is not so certain, maybe the young city lord has already known Margaret's identity and is waiting for her to be caught, and now he is sick and is in their arms.

It's a pity that Wednesday can only guess here, and then look at the movement over there from a distance, not daring to get close to observe.

Just as he was about to go down, Wednesday suddenly heard movement behind him, and suddenly turned his head, but it was still the blonde Saimen.

"Hey Lee, what are you looking at?" Simon grinned, with an indescribable smell of sunshine on him.

Wednesday coughed, "Look at the scenery." ”

Simon blinked slightly, making an expression that you understand, "The view, are you looking at Princess Margaret?"

Wednesday was shocked, but his face was as if he had heard some ridiculous news, "Princess, Princess Margaret?" said and pointed to the house Margaret had just lived in in the east of the city, "Are you kidding?"

Simon raised his eyebrows slightly, "It seems that you are not very shocked by this news, Li." ”

Wednesday coughed, secretly wondering if his acting skills were not up to par, so he pretended to be embarrassed and coughed, "Brother Simon is amazing, I did guess that Margaret's identity is extraordinary, but I didn't expect it to be a princess," said and asked in a low voice with a wink, "What country is she a princess? It can't be the illegitimate daughter of a certain king, right?"

"Ahem," Simon choked on Wednesday's gibberish, "No, no, it's just a princess who is outcast," he said, pulling out a flask and handing it to Wednesday, "Tell me how you met, hey, don't say you're okay." ”

Wednesday was secretly shocked, not knowing what was the origin of this Simon, and not knowing how the other party knew about the relationship between him and Margaret. But when it comes to this, it's not interesting to deny it, but it will be looked down upon, so it's better to be free and easy.

So he gave a thumbs up to Saimen, "Brother Simon is so clever that he can see through the origin of the younger brother at a glance," he said with a sigh, "Actually, I don't know what's going on, I took a mission in a place called Thorn Town, escorted Margaret's girl into the mountain, stayed in the mountain for half a month, and was ambushed as soon as she got out of the mountain. ”

Speaking of this, Wednesday took a sip of wine, looked at the prompt sent by the system with the upper limit of internal force +21 points, and smiled in his heart, but he made a palpitating expression on his face, "If it weren't for Margaret's grandfather, she and I would have been killed," Speaking of this, he paused again, and said with a little sadness: "Margaret's grandfather almost paid the price of his life to help us escape, and then entrusted Margaret to me, and then ......"

"And then what's going on?" Simon asked quickly.

Wednesday shook his head with a wry smile, "And I lost Margaret halfway through," he let out a long sigh of relief, "It's okay, I chased after me again, otherwise I wouldn't have known how to explain it to her grandfather." ”

Simon chuckled twice, and then asked tentatively, "What are you going to do now?" I see that the person who picked her up has arrived, and you don't really need to worry about her anymore, and it is best to leave here with the girl in your room. ”

Wednesday sighed and shook his head, "That's what I said, but after all, this road is only a fifth of the way, and it is still far from the completion of the mission, I have to watch her reach her destination safely, otherwise I will not feel at ease." ”

"Sure enough, it's a trustworthy person," Simon praised without knowing whether it was true or not, and then asked, "Then do you know the identities of those people around Margaret?"

"I don't know," Wednesday shook his head decisively, "Do you know, Simon?"

Simon smiled and didn't continue the topic, but instead asked, "Let's go to find out the situation together in the evening?"

Wednesday's heart moved, but he pretended not to be interested and asked, "How can I probe it?" ”
