Verse 60 Encounter Again

Purely in terms of area, the business area can be said to be the largest area of Eagle City. Once the place is large, it is naturally divided into different areas.

The place where Ashrufat walked at this time was completely different from the last time he visited the bazaar. The streets here are much cleaner, and there are no hawker stalls on the side of the road, except for the occasional small cart selling drinks or specialty snacks. The cars are all decked with colorful flags, and they only stop to do business when they are greeted by guests.

If anything, it can be called an "office area" because it is surrounded by buildings, and at the entrance of each building there are signs such as chambers of commerce, offices, etc. Most of the pedestrians passing through the streets, dressed in beautiful uniforms and gowns, wore hats, and walked calmly or hurriedly, past Ashrufat and the little girl.

"These are chambers of commerce...... So many ......," the little girl said softly, looking at both sides of the street. The entire street, with the exception of a few shops, is home to such a chamber of commerce.

"After all, this is the royal city of a country, no matter what the chamber of commerce is, it will regard this place as an important branch, or simply the headquarters. Ashrufat replied. As he spoke, he saw a whole group of armed men appear from the front. Almost all of these people wore leather armor and carried weapons, but the style of both weapons and armor varied greatly. They crowded around a car and slowly passed through the street. Judging by these traces, these people were not regular soldiers, but bodyguards hired by a certain merchant. And the one who leads them is particularly eye-catching. The man was not wearing leather armor, but shiny metal armor, and the cuirass was painted with roses and swords intertwined with each other.

When the procession passed, Ashrufat and the little girl, like the others, chose to stay out of the way.

"This man's breastplate...... Interesting, isn't it?" said the little girl softly. "Why do you want to paint this pattern on the cuirass? ”

"That's the family coat of arms. Ashrufat replied. "This one is a knight from Stygia. The habits of that place were quite different from ours, and their knights wore heraldic coats of arms on their armor. ”

"It's not going to cause ...... Is it particularly striking and being attacked intensively?"

"No, every knight does that, and it doesn't matter. Ashrufat replied, staring at the pattern not far away. "This is Cassilos'...... The coat of arms of a famous family. Children of the same family will not change the pattern of the coat of arms, but will change the coat of arms into a personal symbol in different colors. Maybe he's a midshipman who hasn't acquired a territory, or maybe he's been deprived of his territory for some reason......"

"Do you know this coat of arms?"

"Where did I think I saw it...... So there is an impression. Ashrufat stared at the pattern until the men were gone, reluctantly withdrawing his gaze.

"Have you ever been to the Stygia region?"

"Not necessarily. Ashruphat replied, "I said that I had ...... before Lost memory. Speaking of which, among the mercenaries, the knights of the Stygia region are very popular. Because they are not only brave and good at fighting, but they are also very reliable in their words. Of course, they also have some minor flaws, such as what they keep their vows or something, but these are minor flaws. No, the mercenary squad composed of knights in the Styia region costs about one and a half times as much as a squad of the same type. Caravans, in particular, like to hire this kind of squad as bodyguards, and they don't care about the high price at all. Because even if these knights are reduced to mercenaries, they are still loyal and trustworthy. ”

It should be so, as a mercenary, it is normal to know and come into contact with these knights of Stygian.

"Ashrufat, you see, these people just came out of that house. The little girl gestured. As he said, he saw a large building with a white slender fish painted on the signboard, which was a very simple and expressive pattern.

In the next moment, the feeling that had been lost for a long time rushed into Ashrufat's mind. This pattern...... I don't know what the road is, but when I saw this pattern, I felt very strongly touched. In a trance, a door seemed to appear in front of him, and all he had to do was walk into it. Just walk in, and all lost memories will come back in no time. But in the next instant, the door was gone. Ashrufat came back to his senses. He is now standing on a street in the Falcon City business district, surrounded by people.

"Ashrufat, what are you doing? The little girl said dissatisfiedly.

"That sign ......"

"Ah, the emblem of the Silverfish Chamber of Commerce. The little girl replied. "Don't underestimate it, this chamber of commerce is the kind of country that is said to be rich. ”

"They're ......," Ashrufat felt his throat twitch uncontrollably. "What kind of business do you run?"

"You don't even know this?" the little girl asked strangely. "Deposits and withdrawals, mortgages, loans, and the issuance of Quioli. Zhilu said no, Ollie was what they promoted. Don't look at the business is simple, but the influence is not ordinary...... And they also have stakes in a lot of other chambers of commerce. ”

For what...... Why does it have such a big impact on this silverfish logo. It's like ...... to this thing It's familiar...... But in his dreams, those dreams that don't know where the Tao came from, but are real, there is no such sign.

"Isn't this area the center of the business district?" the little girl stopped and looked around. "Truth be told, it's a bit of an aristocratic quarter. ”

"I don't know what to do. ”

"You don't know what to do?"

"Ah, I remember saying that I'm not a local, I'm from Brasian. I've only been in Eagle Falcon City for a few months, and half of my time is still on duty. Ashrufat replied.

"Brassian, what is that place?"

"Small city in the middle of nowhere. Ashrufat replied. "It's far from here. Thinking of Brasian, Ashrufat couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart. Sure enough, is he a person who is accustomed to traveling and wandering? I have been away from Brasian for more than two months, but I don't miss it at all.

Ashrufat quickly put these distractions aside and returned to reality. In fact, what the little girl said should be right, because there are so many chambers of commerce gathered in this vicinity, it has naturally become the center of the business district. As he was doing this, he suddenly saw a figure walk out of the gate of the Silverfish Chamber of Commerce in front of him.

Ashrufat quickly grabbed the little girl's hand and dragged her into a small alley on the side.

"Ashrufat, what are you doing...... Not...... Hmm......" The little girl was halfway through, but Ashrufat covered her mouth with his hand.

"Shh......h You see, the one. ”

The little girl stopped struggling in an instant, and out of the Silverfish Chamber of Commerce was Little Grufiz, the diplomatic ambassador of the Belu people. Last time, because of an accident, the little girl also met him once, so if they meet this time, then she will definitely be recognized by the other party.

Ashrufatra lowered the hood of his robe to cover half of her face, and the little girl covered her head with a scarf. In this case, even if you see it, you won't be able to recognize it at once. However, for safety, the two of them still hid in the corner and did not come out.

"That guy...... I remember that he seemed to be leaving in the next two days......" the little girl said softly. "What is he doing here?"

"Probably just here to get some money. Ashrufat said, his eyes were not on little Grufiz, but on a woman beside him. In fact, Ashrufat still remembers the arrival of little Grufiz in the port area by chance with Akin, and he had this female escort by his side at that time. At that time, the female guard made a special impression on him.

But now, after coming into contact with Scarlet Rose Laria, the female guard gave him a different feeling. A strong intuition.

Little Grufiz didn't notice anyone hiding on the corner and secretly observing him. Of course, he wouldn't care if he was aware of it. Although he said that he came here as a diplomatic envoy, a trip to the Chamber of Commerce or something was just a very ordinary daily activity, and it would not attract any special attention at all. In fact, as far as he is concerned, he is actually just coming to the Silverfish Chamber of Commerce to propose a pocket money. His mission is coming to an end, and it's normal to spend some money or something.

He swaggered over with a group of entourage.

"Are you looking at that woman?" the little girl suddenly noticed that Ashrufat's gaze was not on little Grufiz. It was difficult to tell who Ashrufat was looking at when he was far away before, but now he can tell. "Why are you staring at her?"

"Shh......h This woman ......," Ashrufar said. "Didn't you notice that she was strong?"

"Strong?" the little girl couldn't see it at all. For the vast majority of ordinary people, unless they really do it, it is impossible to see whether they are strong or not.

"Well, at least it's a notch like Scarlet Rose...... But she was too young. Ashruphat looked at the wind chimes in the distance and whispered. "I'm only about fifteen years old. ”

"Really?" the little girl was skeptical. She had seen Scarlet Rose kill more than twenty heavily armed men as easily as straw. Judging from the scene at that time, not to mention that there were only twenty men, and dozens of them would only take a little more time for Scarlet Rose. Can this woman compete with Scarlet Rose?

"It should be. Many thoughts crossed Ashrufat's mind, but in the end, he resisted all the impulses, stood motionless in his hiding place, and let little Grufiz and his party go away. "Armed with a weapon...... Followed by little Grufiz, at a glance, he knew that he was a guard. ”

The figure of little Grufiz and his party disappeared into the crowd of people in the street, and Eshurufat left the hiding place with the little girl.

"Remember what little Grufiz said to you last time?"

"Well, it's all a bunch of empty talk and nonsense. The little girl replied. "On the surface, it seems that there is a lot of talk, but the key points are left alone. Diplomats seem to be like that. ”

"Huh...... A king, not only a king, but also one of the most important abilities of a leader is to find the information he needs from these words and nonsense. ”
