88. Baroness Royancram
With just one cane, the thief Sloll fell, and there was no spiritual light emitted from the cane, and for a while there was no sound, and the streets were full of murderous atmosphere, and the people along the street had already closed their doors.
When the leader saw it, the big sword in his hand shook, and with a buzzing sound, it emitted a pale yellow brilliance, and he cautiously forced Wang Qinian, at this moment, a gunshot rang out, Wang Qinian's body shook, and disappeared on the spot, with a buzzing sound, there was a scream on the left side, and a person holding a short gun fell in a pool of blood.
The Short Gun is a relatively powerful weapon for ordinary people, but it is not a terrible weapon for the powerful, and its threat is not as great as that of a magic arrow.
Wang Qinian appeared in the same place again, and the leader shouted: "Up!"
Those people rushed up, and Jessica, who was on the side at this time, made a move, only to see the electric light ball skyrocketing, expanding outward in a circular shape, and everywhere it went, the electric light split into a loud sound.
The leader's body glowed with a pale yellow light, resisting the electric light, and the others were miserable, one by one, their hands and feet trembled, the corners of their mouths were crooked, and they fell to the ground.
As soon as the stabbing sword in Wang Qinian's hand lit up, the sword qi soared, and it had already cut into the leader's big sword, knocking the leader's big sword to the ground, and the sword qi condensed in front of his throat.
In the blink of an eye, all of them were captured, Wang Qi began to interrogate, all of them knew nothing about the gem mines on the Xiami Peninsula, of course, Wang Qinian could not mention the gem mines, which shows that the news of the gem mines is still circulating among a few people.
"Get out!" Wang Qinian blasted them away, looked at the two corpses, stepped forward, put away their blades, and searched their bodies. However, both of them were relatively poor, and they only got a few silver coins, at this time Xiaoshuang had lifted their invisibility, Wang Qinian smiled and said to Xiaoshuang: "Let's go, let's see where to buy the blade." β
They entered an armory shop, which was more formal, unlike some places where the blacksmith shop was mixed with the armory shop, but specialized in weapons. It seems that there are also advantages to having more adventurers.
Wang Qinian talked to the boss about the price for half a day here. Sold a bunch of weapons to the armory for two gold coins and six silver coins, less than half the price, of course.
Then he gave a gold coin to Xiaoshuang, who was dumbfounded and took back the gem and a gold coin. His mouth was still muttering: "The king is too bad." I couldn't help but pay not a single gold coin. On the contrary, he earned more than one gold coin, and if he knew it, he would have asked him for three yuan, no. Ten pieces. β
"Little money fan!" Wang Qinian said, and Jessica also smiled.
"Let's go, let's go, this place is already clear, it seems that only a few people know about that news, and it didn't make it all over the place. Wang Qinian said to Jessica.
The two hired a carriage and headed eastward, passing through several towns and changing carriages on the way, and after ten days they finally came to the place entrusted by Mikoyan, in the kingdom of Dar and the kingdom of the Tugus, in the small town of Upranza, where they stopped and got out of the carriage, where Baron Royankram dwelt.
Asked the pedestrians about the location of the Baron's Mansion of Royankram, Wang Qinian and Jessica came to the Baron's Palace, and when they arrived at the Baron's Palace, they learned that this place had been ruined, although the Baron's Mansion still covers an area of two acres, but the lawn and other places are no longer considered lawns, wild grasses grow wildly, landscape trees have not been pruned for many years, they have no shape at all, and the walls have been mottled, but they are barely maintaining the dignity of a nobleman.
Wang Qinian and Jessica came to the gate, an old porter was dozing, Wang Qinian made the knocker of the iron door ring, the old porter woke up, the uniform on his body had been washed white, and stood up: "Who?"
"Good day, old man, we have been commissioned by a friend to see Baroness Royankram. Wang Qinian said with a smile on his face.
The porter lit up Wang Qinian and Jessica through the iron door, seeing that they were brightly dressed and extraordinary, knowing that they were not ordinary people, such people could not usually be seen, the old porter opened the door: "Dear old lady, please come with me." β
They followed the porter toward the tall building, and a maid saw him and asked, "Who is this, old man Rapp?"
"Little Osa, this is Madame's honored guest, go and invite Madame. Rapp said.
Osa listened, and ran upstairs quickly, and a moment later a lady appeared on the revolving staircase of the hall, dressed in a compact tunic of the nobility, with a wide skirt, a towering collar, and an exaggerated hat embellished with intricate and ornate embroidery or ornamentation, but this one was clearly old, but she was beautiful, and although the years passed, there was still not much trace of the years. The maid Osa was wearing a black skirt and a white apron, and her clothes were old.
Wang Qinian took off his hat, the hat was pressed on his chest with his right hand, and he bowed: "Noble and beautiful lady, I am Qinian Wang, she is Jessica, we are from Huolin Qiaoton, and we have met Mrs. β
Jessica also took a step back with her left foot, lifted the hem of her skirt, squatted slightly, and performed a skirt salute, and the Baroness did the same.
"Dear Mr. Wang, are you a magician?" asked Baroness Royankram.
Wang Qinian nodded, and his eyes looked to the side: "Baron, isn't he there?"
"He and his son went on a fishing trip, and the lady and the gentleman please take a seat. Baroness Royankram said, and everyone sat down.
Wang Qinian sat down, Osa poured coffee, Wang Qinian tasted it, although his sense of taste was not fully restored, he could taste that it was a very ordinary coffee, and then he said: "We are passing through here, and we have been commissioned by Senior Magician Mikoyan to bring something. β
When Wang Qinian mentioned Mikoyan, her face changed significantly, and she sighed: "Why bother, what else is there to say about the past." β
Wang Qinian smiled: "This is what you deserve, Magician Mikoyan said that you lent him money back then, and for many years, the interest has rolled, and it just so happens that he has recently started a jewelry business, so he asked me to bring it to you." β
Wang Qinian said and took out the things, put them in a box, Wang Qinian opened the box, the box was full of jewels, eye-catching, Osa couldn't help but sigh, covered his mouth with his hand, and his eyes were wide open.
"How many are there?" asked Baroness Royankram, who did not change color, but her eyes twitched.
"There are about two or three hundred thousand gold coins, which is not much for Mikoyan magician, and it is also due to your original capital. Wang Qinian said that he knew it was a lie, but when he saw that Baroness Royankram acquiesced to it, he thought it was true.
"How is he now?"
"He's fine now, but because it's too far away, he has a mission, and he can't get out of it, so he doesn't have the time to come and see you. Wang Qinian took out a small box separately and said, "This is a magic gem, and Magician Mikoyan wants me to give it to you alone." β
Baroness Royancram did not open it, but took it casually, put it in her hand and stroked it: "The two of you have walked a long way, so let's have a meal here, Osa, and tell the cook to prepare the meal." β
Osa retreated, and there were only three people left in the living room, and at this time he heard the sound of the stairs, and a young girl came down, Wang Qinian glanced at it, and she looked very much like Baroness Royankram, and it was no surprise that it should be her daughter.
"Jenny, come and meet the Magician King and Magician Jessica, this is my daughter Jenny, my youngest daughter, the eldest of the three brothers above him, the eldest has long since died, the second went fishing with his father and the nobles, and the third is a magician and knight, and now he has gone out to travel. Baroness Royankram introduced.
Jenny called out to her mother, and gave a dress to Wang Qinian and Jessica, and saw the jewelry in the box: "Mother, whose is this?"
Baroness Royancram said: "This was sent by a friend of mine from a former friend, and I asked Mr. Wang and Ms. Jessica to bring it. β
A glint flashed in her eyes, and she stared blankly for a while, probably realizing that she was out of shape, so she said embarrassedly: "Mr. Wang, you are a magician, just like my third brother, I want the third brother to teach me, but he refuses to teach, saying that I have no magical talent, is that so?"
Wang Qinian raised his head, her eyes flashed green, she was not without magical talent, but not very good, so she smiled and said, "You have magical talent, but it's not very good." β
"Yes, then the third brother lied to me, the one on your shoulder is the flower fairy?" Jenny was happy, and she thought it was very funny to see the flower fairy.
The flower fairy Xiaoshuang was dozing off on Wang Qinian's shoulder, and suddenly heard a woman's voice talking about her, her eyes opened, and she saw that it was a girl about sixteen years old, her eyes swept her, and she said lightly: "Wind and fire dual attributes, but now it's a little late to learn magic, at most a fifth-level magician, to reach the advanced Cheng dΓΉ, the conditions are too harsh." β
The light in her eyes dimmed, and Baroness Royancram spoke: "Our family is not afraid of your jokes, the family is broken, can Jenny ask you to send her to Mikoyan." β
Although she didn't say it explicitly, Wang Qinian raised her eyes and looked at Baroness Royankram's eyes, her eyes seemed to be able to speak, Wang Qinian vaguely felt in his heart that this girl might be Mikoyan's daughter, and at this time Jessica's voice came from his heart: "Wang, could she be Mikoyan's daughter?"
"Probably, if it's Mikoyan's daughter, then promise her, it's better for you to take her as an apprentice first, and wait until you see Mikoyan. Wang Qinian also replied with the method of connecting hearts.
"Okay, I'll take her as an apprentice first, it doesn't matter if she's not Mikoyan's daughter, it's just a little less talented, and hard work is also very important. "Jessica should have arrived, Baroness Royancram did not know that they had already decided Jenny's fate in their hearts.
"Well, I promise, I'll send her to Mikoyan's side. Wang Qinian nodded in agreement, turned around, and said to Jenny, "We'll leave this afternoon, you just follow Jessica first." (To be continued......)
