Section 42 Accidents

In terms of clothing, this outfit is very ordinary in terms of color and style, and it looks a little old because it has been put for a long time. But that's exactly what Ashrufat needs.

"What is this outfit?" the little girl looked at the outfit and her mouth curled. In a specific living environment, she has cultivated a high aesthetic ability, so she really can't look down on this set.

"In order to disguise one's identity, one must wear as ordinary clothes as possible. Ashrufat explained softly. The little girl reluctantly accepted it.

I also had to change the set...... Normally, Ashrufat doesn't have to carry a weapon with him when he moves around the city (because it's very eye-catching, especially if it's easy to attract patrols), but with this little girl, he has to think about carrying a weapon. Must be a set of clothing that can hide the weapon......

He found a set of clothes in this pile of old clothes that matched his requirements. It was a double-layered robe, of the kind worn by bards, under which there was enough to hide a larger weapon without being noticed. As for weapons, there is a weapons shop right next door. It's also a privilege to talk about. In the aristocratic district, there are many people who carry weapons with them, so there are many shops that sell weapons. In other districts, however, special attention is paid to people carrying weapons.

Soon after, Ashruphat finally equipped both men according to his own plan. He donned the bard's robes, and hid a sword under the robes. Although Ashrufat felt that he was better suited to use a two-handed weapon, a larger weapon could not be concealed so closely. The little girl put on the dress that was very ordinary in style and texture, and it didn't look as eye-catching as before. Even if he met any acquaintances on the road, Ashrufat could still cover his face with a hood, making people unrecognizable.

"Alright, Your Majesty, let's go now, to the trade area where you are going. ”

The business district of Eagle Falcon City is actually a multiple concept, which can refer to the market area in a narrow sense - the area with countless stalls and large and small shops, or it can be a collective name for five or six blocks including the market area. Because these neighborhoods are almost all related to commerce.

Ashrufat was now following the little girl, walking above the bazaar. It must be said that even if she is a queen, the little girl is still a little girl after all, and she is full of curiosity about anything new.

"Ashrufat, what is this?"

"Ashrufat, what are these shiny things for?"

"Ashrufat, why do these fish change color?"

The little girl finally has a chance to touch new things, so her questions are one after another. Ashruphat absentmindedly answered the common-sense questions while looking up at the sky from time to time. The little girl had promised him that she would return to the palace before dark. The problem is that it's only noon, and it's really far from getting dark.

"Ashrufat, what kind of fruit are these, and they are so expensive?" the little girl came to the edge of a shop and found something she had never seen before.

"It's a spice, a specialty from the Elven realm. Ashruphat explained. "Elven specialties are very expensive, and this one is still relatively cheap. It can be used to make soups – it is said that a little bit of it can add a special scent, and it can also be used to make incense, which can help promote sleep. ”

"Ah, this, I see it...... That's the price of wheat. The little girl's gaze turned away from the strange fruit and to something more realistic. "This is wheat? It's the first time I've seen it. It costs four small silver Ollies, is that expensive?"

"It's okay. Ashrufat replied. "It's quite expensive in an ordinary place, but in a city like Eagle Falcon City, it should be okay, not outrageous. Why do you ask this?"

For it is said that a king must know the price of goods in the market, especially grain. The little girl looked at the price marked in the store that sold grain. "Because that's the foundation of a lot of things. Knowing this, I actually understand a lot of things. ”

"What do you understand?" said Ashruphat deliberately.

"I don't know what to do. The little girl shook her head. "The book only says that you can understand a lot of things, but it doesn't say what you can understand. ”

Sure enough, do you know it but don't know why? Hey, it's no wonder, after all, it's just a little girl. Of course, at this age alone, it is already very good.

"Hehe, of course I lied to you! The price of food is the basis of all prices. Its ups and downs can actually determine the standard of living of civilians. If the price of food is low, it usually means that the country is safe and prosperous. Conversely, if food prices are high, it means ......"

The little girl is showing off her knowledge a little. But this did make Ashrufat look a little better, well, although she is a little girl who never goes out, but she seems to have learned a lot from the book.

They continue to wander around the market. But as mentioned earlier, it was the little girl who was really full of curiosity and freshness, and Ashrufat focused his attention mainly on the possible threats. But then again, while the city is home to thieves, pickpockets, robbers, and even traffickers, the number of these threats is still small compared to the city's total population. Besides, it's one thing for a little girl to dress gorgeously and go on the road alone, it's another thing for a little girl to dress modestly and be accompanied by an adult man. They went all the way without actually having any unnecessary trouble. It must be said that the little girl's curiosity caused her to have several arguments with the vendors. However, this is also a normal thing to do in the normal range of trading.

For lunch they had a little roadside grilled sausage and a glass of beer. It was obvious that the little girl would not have access to such a commoner drink in the palace - in the eyes of the nobles, wine was the drink that matched their status. At first, Ashrufat was worried that lunch would reveal the fact that they would leave secretly, but the little girl dispelled his doubts. Because the old woman (who is the lover of the legendary little girl's grandfather) will help her with this trouble. As long as they can go back before dark, the secret will certainly not be revealed—even if they don't get back in time for dark, there is only a small chance that it will be revealed.

Ashrufat now finally understood what had happened last time. He didn't know why he had met the little girl and secretly left the palace last time (and was even caught by a group of hooligan robbers), because there was Essien on duty outside the dormitory - no matter what, the man would never let the little girl leave. Now he understood, because it was the harmless-looking old woman who was secretly helping. She hid the little girl in her black floor-sweeping robe, and just like that, she helped the little girl sneak away. Truth be told, if Essien had been observing, he would have noticed this not-so-clever trick. But it was because things were so unexpected that he ignored the loophole.

It's no problem to go back before it gets dark...... Ashrufat calculated the time it would take. Just to be on the safe side, it's time to go back to the bazaar. I don't think there's anything wrong with that......

A foul wind blew and dusted everywhere. It was as if all of a sudden, the sky was overcast. The overcast black clouds in the sky are a good indication that a heavy rainstorm is imminent. The wind was blowing on the ground, and the sand was flying. All of a sudden, there was a mess all over the market. The merchants who were doing business in the market all started to get busy. Some shops moved goods from outside the store inside, and the small stalls on the side of the road were all closed, and everyone was trying to find shelter from the rain.

Ashrufat's first reaction was to return to the palace immediately. But it was immediately clear that this could not be successful. The raging clouds and strong winds indicated that a rainstorm was coming. He had just ignored the change in the weather - the clouds in the sky had gathered from all sides to the center, and by the time the sun was obscured by the clouds, the change in the weather had been basically completed, and it was too late to leave. If they want to rush now, the only consequence is to make them soup chickens. Everyone knows that umbrellas are almost useless when heavy rain is mixed with high winds. In times of such weather, the best option is to find a shelter from the rain right away rather than buying an umbrella.

This rain, no matter how you look at it, looks like it's going to rain for half a day.

Ashrufat sighed. His only hope now is not to meet the "small possibility" that the little girl said.

The darkness of the sky was so oppressive that time seemed to leap forward to dusk. Soon after Ashrufat and the little girl hid in a roadside restaurant, the rain of beans began to fall. In just a short time, the rain covered the whole world, and the light was so dim that it was as if the whole city had been swallowed by some monster.

All he could do now was find a place to sit and listen to the small talk among the people who were also sheltering from the rain. But fortunately, the little girl also showed great curiosity about this matter. She pricked up her ears and listened intently, while Ashrufat stared blankly at the rain.

This rain fell all afternoon. In fact, in this season, it would have been quite a common thing. By the time the rain had cleared and the clouds had broken through the sunrise, the sun had turned into a red ball hanging from the top of a distant mountain.

It's definitely too late to rush back now, and I can only hope that my luck won't be so bad. Ashruphat turned his head to look at the little girl. I don't know what's going on with Lu Dao, but the little girl is sitting in her place in a daze at this time, I don't know what Lu Dao is thinking.

"It's time for us to go, Your Majesty. Ashrufat reminded softly. The people who took shelter from the rain were all gone by this time.

"Ashrufat...... "The little girl turned to him with a blank gaze, "I ask you, Lord Byron...... Will they be the next king? The Makeremiz family is finished?"

"Ah......" Ashruphat didn't know what to say for a moment. It seems that the little girl just heard something. "It's just some boring rumors!" he took the little girl's hand and walked out the door. As soon as he stepped out the door, he saw someone he hadn't expected at all. It's the boss of "Red Rose", the boss who is not the boss, Rhodia!

Rhodia didn't notice Ashrufat. She walked across the street by herself to a large warehouse not far away.
