613 Amely
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and it was only in front of the courtyard gate that he hesitated for a moment.
King Nacini glanced at Allegri with a half-cut branch, who nodded, dissipating the fire magic between his fingers.
With a squeak, the wooden door was pushed open, and the preoccupied girl rushed into the yard with her head bored, not caring if there were other people inside.
King Nacini and Allegri looked at each other, and at the same time lifted their guards. Judging from the other party's reaction, either they stumbled into it, or there was something else, at least it had nothing to do with the two of them.
"Huh?" Finally, when the girl looked up, she inadvertently swept them, and suddenly screamed, and the gardening hoe she was carrying in her hand almost fell to the ground.
"You ...... Why are you here?" she subconsciously stopped, and raised her hoe a little nervously, if it weren't for the fact that neither of them looked like bad people, the girl's reaction would definitely be greater.
In particular, the handsome King Nacini has a dignified appearance and a righteous face. He secretly waved his hand at Allegri, and he stepped forward and replied softly, "We live here." β
"Is there anyone living in this place?" asked the girl with long light chestnut hair, her eyes wide open, and she wondered. She was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with beautiful eyebrows and round cheeks, like an apple at the end of summer. In the eyes of the experienced King Nachina, she is not particularly beautiful, but she is born with a pair of smiling eyes, fresh and natural, lively and amiable.
"We've only moved in the past few days," King Nacini said with a smile and a lie on his face, "I'm Nacho, the distant cousin of His Royal Highness the Grand Duke, what do you call you, girl?"
"It turned out to be Nacho's son," the girl's cheeks couldn't help but turn red in front of the heroic Lion King, and she hurriedly bowed. "I'm ...... Amely. β
"Miss Amely," said King Nacini, pointing to the hoe in her hand, curiously, "have you come to repair the flowers?"
"No, no. The girl waved her hand again and again, and explained, "I ...... Just come, pick up something. β
"Mademoiselle used to live here?" asked King Nacini, looking at her tentatively. What Amely is wearing is not the uniform uniform of the maids in the palace, but the clothes are not luxurious, and they should not be the children of Grand Duke Ian, as for the specific identity. For a while, he couldn't figure it out.
"No, it's just that no one lived here for a long time, so I hid my stuff here. A lovely blush appeared on Amely's cheeks, and it tended to spread to her neck.
"Then the young lady can go and get it. After careful observation, King Nacini concluded that he was not lying, and since it was only a misunderstanding, he dismissed the idea of killing people.
"I'm sorry. Excuse me. It was only then that Amely spotted Allegri not far away. She hurriedly bowed, ran to the corner of the courtyard in small steps, and dug with difficulty.
"I'll help you. King Nacini threw away the branch in his hand and walked over in a few steps. It is not in line with aristocratic etiquette to let a lady sweat rain with a hoe.
"When I was buried, I didn't feel so difficult. Amely flattened her mouth. Although she was a little embarrassed, she obediently handed over the hoe.
King Nacini smiled slightly, and grasped the handle of the hoe in the position of holding a sword, and the blade of the hoe probed into the ground, only a few centimeters into the soil. The vermilion energy flashed and passed. He managed to find the location of the foreign object, and he didn't see any force, but the hard soil cracked like soft cheese. Soon, a wooden box dozens of centimeters long was revealed in front of their eyes.
"Thank you, childe. AmΓ©li thanked him, and was not afraid of dirt, so he bent down and picked up the wooden box and wiped the dirt off the surface with his sleeve.
"You're welcome. King Nacini played with his hoe and turned away. He is reluctant to snoop on other people's privacy.
But the moment Amely opened the box, Allegri frowned slightly, and his eyes were fixed on it.
There were no gold jewels in the wooden box, and the only valuable ones should be those impure magic crystals. Other than that, there are only a few thin old books, and a miniature statue of a gray corpse.
After a quick count, Amelie patted her chest with confidence, but just as she wanted to close the wooden box, a surprised voice came from her side,
"Alpha puppet?"
Among the many schools of magic, the arcane system is the most mainstream and orthodox. The mages believed that the only way to pursue truth was to abandon the so-called practicality and simply explore the mysteries of magic itself.
The consequence of such a guide is that the middle and low-level arcane mages are exaggerated, and the actual combat ability is low. On the other hand, arcane spells are all-encompassing, covering almost all areas of magic. Truly skilled arcane mages are often proficient in a variety of mystical spells, giving them a head start in mage battles, and this also gives them a greater advantage when they comprehend the power of the realm and advance to the legendary realm.
Golem is one of the branches of the arcane family. This is a special genre mixed with mechanics, capable of creating and controlling all kinds of arcane puppets. During the Medieval Magic Empire, such sophisticated magical creations were very common in both military and civilian fields.
However, nowadays, it is difficult to see real Olympic puppets all over the mainland. The puppets manipulated by the magicians are just superficial and have no practical value other than a few antics to perform. Perhaps, there is only the island of Thran that hangs overseas, and there are still some related inheritances.
That's why Allegri walked up to Amely with great interest and asked. Although the Ao Neng puppet has been damaged for a considerable amount of time, at least the main structure is still there, and it can be put back into use with a little repair.
The girl was taken aback, and immediately held the wooden box in her arms, looked at him vigilantly, and denied in her mouth, "I don't understand what you say." β
"No wonder you're hiding these things here," Allegri said suddenly, "Under the rule of the Holy See of Light, artifacts related to ancient magic should all be contraband, right?"
"I'm sorry, I'm leaving. Emily was so worried that she glanced sideways at Allegri and turned to run away. The Church of Light's attitude towards magic is well known to the world, and she is walking on thin ice in the Grand Duke's mansion, for fear that people will find out that she is secretly practicing.
"Wait. At that moment, King Nacini suddenly shouted. For some reason, he always felt that the other party was like a frightened rabbit, which was very interesting.
"What...... "Amelie's impression of him is still very good.
"Your hoe. King Nacini raised his gardening hoe with a smile on his face.
