From the narrow window on the second floor came the voice of Emma, the former hotel hostess and now the hotelkeeper: "Sir Elvis, don't make jokes about the little girl. ”

"I'm not kidding, you quoted the price, I paid. Sir Elvis shouted. He tilted his head, and two guards stepped forward and motioned for Rosie to follow them. When Rosie hesitated, Elvis's face became unpleasant: "Rosie, you look down on me?"

Rosie smiled: "Noble knight, how dare Rosie despise you. ”

"Then come with me, I have inquired before I came, you have already come to the menstrual affairs. ”

After the menstrual period, it is no longer a child, but a woman.

Maester Pate dared to be angry on the side. He was powerless, and he had a heart that tried to protect Rosie.

One of the guards' sword is unsheathed.

In Old Town, the soldiers of the Hightower family represent supreme authority.

The Old Town, ruled by the Hightower family for thousands of years, is deeply rooted, and the family knights are the most powerful representatives of the town. Their word is a command.

Rosie was escorted out of the hotel by two soldiers, while Sir Elvis and another soldier broke off. There was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, and the sexy and charming Emma ran down the stairs with her shoulders exposed.

In fact, His Majesty's words kept echoing in Elvis's ears, and the knight was very vigilant in his heart, and he stared at Emma to prevent Emma from having a hidden weapon in his hand.

His Majesty had warned them to be careful, for it was likely that they would not be any rivals to Emma and Rosie. It's a strange and confusing statement, but Elvis knows Emma, who has had a lot of fun with knights, including Elvis. Neither Emma nor Rosie knew martial arts, and the knight thought he was sure.

But His Majesty's sudden arrival in Old Town, and the sudden revelation of the names of Emma and Rosie in the Bottle of Quillry, and the sudden assumption that they were extremely dangerous, had alarmed and amazed the knights and the lord of the Earl.

In the too unusual things, there must be something strange and secret that they have not been able to understand for the time being.

His Majesty didn't say it explicitly, but as long as Emma and Rosie were brought to the Tower of Babel, the truth would be revealed.

Rosie had been carried out of the hotel by two soldiers, crossed the wooden bridge, and boarded a boat that crossed the Meada River.

The quill bottle is located on an island in the Meada River, which has a wide estuary into the sea, and there are several islands on the water, which are connected by wooden and stone bridges. The water surface of the Meajiu River is foggy all year round, and the visibility of the fog is very low in the morning and the Night King, but in the afternoon and sunny morning, the eye can easily see through the fog on the surface of the river and see the situation on the other side of the river.

Emma saw a patrol of Hightower soldiers on the other side of the river, heavily armed, some with bows and arrows. On the river, there were also two patrol longboats of the Hightower soldiers.

Old Town is the largest port city in the Seven Kingdoms, and merchant ships from all over the world crowd the port every day, with the city garrison patrolling the port streets and river. Old Town has a strong navy with a total of thirty warships, mainly to prevent threats and disturbances from the Iron Breeds of the Iron Islands. The Iron Breeders of the Iron Islands often plundered the Oldtown's maritime trading ships, and the Hightower family of Oldtown had to build a maritime force that could link up with the Redwin family's navy on Qingting Island.

On the surface, there was nothing unusual about the patrol guard on the other side of the river and the two longboat patrols on the river, but Emma was still sensitive to a strange aura, as if the patrol guards on the shore and on the water were deliberately arranged here.

This alarmed Emma.

She knew that Pate had been charmed by Rosie, and the alchemist had already made an agreement with Pate, and at ten o'clock this evening, they would meet in the gazebo outside the hotel, and hand over the golden dragon with one hand and the other hand.

In full view, Emma and Rosie are taboo about killing.

The Facelings are Assassins, not high rollers.

As the first purpose of the assassin killing in the Black and White Courtyard, it is to make the person who is killed appear to have died a natural death.

The current situation is not suitable for roughness, let alone exposing them.

Bachelor Pate was in the hotel, and he couldn't alert the young bachelor.

Emma made a decision in an instant, she walked towards the knight, exuding a charming charm, her eyes wandering: "My great knight, warrior and benefactor, let me accompany you, and leave my little daughter Rosie behind." Emma's eyes were confused, and she looked at Pate, "The rumors of a golden dragon on Rosie's first night are all jokes, and she already has a man she likes." ”

"Oh, but I've already paid for it, a golden dragon. The knight didn't appreciate it. He reached out and grabbed the money bag on the table, opened it, and took out a golden dragon and threw it on the table. The golden dragon rolled on the table, drew a circle, snapped softly, and fell to the middle of the table.

Emma's whole body hung on the knight's body, and looking at her appearance, she couldn't wait to rub herself into the knight's body. But the knight was clearly more interested in Rosie, and he put away his purse and strode outside.

Intentionally or unintentionally, two patrol longboats on the river rowed towards this direction. The sea chrysanthemum soldiers standing on the bow of the ship were all longbows and arrows, and Emma knew most of them, and among them, there were many sharpshooters who could shoot apples thrown in the air through the shafts of arrows. When the soldiers were drinking in her tavern, they often liked to perform throwing arrows as a way to win or lose and punish for drinking.

The Faceless are proficient in disguise and poison, but they are still mortals, not gods. The best of them is the Narrow Sword Swordsmanship, which is astonishingly fast and accurate, but as powerful as the former Jaqun Hegar, he was also caught by the garrison in the underground casino of Junchen City and thrown into the black prison where he could not escape, and finally he was bound by iron chains and escorted to the Desperate Wall with Fangs and the big black bear Rolger to be the night watchman.

The mystery of the Faceless lies in the unpredictable face of the ghosts and gods, they have a thousand faces, but if they fall into the eyes of the people, with guard, they are still ordinary people, and they cannot suddenly show any three heads and six arms. Not being discovered is the creed and criterion of the Faceless Ones.

Emma's identity when she was young was the hostess who pleased the guests in this hotel, and this pleasure included a lot of content, some of which were no different from the women in the women's courtyard. Rosie is her child born in the hotel, and no one knows who Rosie's father is except her.

Rosie was also familiar with the world between women and benefactors in this environment early on, and many of them had booked Rosie's first night with Emma before she had her menstrual affairs.

Emma did tell Pate about the first night when she bought a golden dragon for Losh, and said that if Pat couldn't get a golden dragon, she would sell Rothy's first night to any other man. As for whether Pate told the apprentice Moreland, the assistant Aman, and Rooney about the first night of the purchase of a golden dragon by Rosey, Emma didn't know.

Young Pete is an honest child, and for this golden dragon, he has promised to exchange the key with the alchemist. Perhaps, this guy spread the rumor by triumphantly declaring that he would buy Rosie's first night with the certainty that he would take Rosie away.

Emma watched as the knight took Rosie with his attendants, and if she was to report the crime and be protected by the law, she would have to go to the Tower of Heaven, to meet the lord Leighton Hightower, and tell him her 'grievances'. And the place where the Elvis knight took Rosie was also the Tower of Heaven.

"Impudent knights, they will be nailed to the pillar of shame by the curse of the seven gods. Emma said through gritted teeth at the knight's back. Pate stood in the hotel in despair, with Rosie's back in his eyes.

"Pate, did you bring a golden dragon?" said Emma suddenly.

Pate's gaze shifted mechanically to Emma's face.

"Have you brought a golden dragon, and if you do, I can go and catch up with it, and tell the knight that someone has pre-purchased Lotie's first night. The Earl of Layton will do justice to me. ”

"I'll have a golden dragon soon, but not now. ”

"You got a golden dragon, but didn't you bring it?"

Pate looked at the gazebo outside the hotel, where the alchemist had not yet appeared. As long as the alchemist appears, he will bring him a golden dragon, and he will bring the key that the alchemist wants.

“...... Belch...... Yes......"

"Well, I promise to bring you the whole Rosie, but when we do, you'll have to promise to give me a golden dragon. ”

"Swear in the name of the gods, old and new, I promise. Pate felt his breath get hot. It's as if the air in this hotel is getting hot. Emma is going to bring back the whole Rosie for him, Rosie is his, and Rosie belongs to him. He prayed that the alchemist would appear sooner so that he could get the golden dragon.

"Pate, don't lie to me, if I go to the Tower of Babel and bring back Rosie, you'll have to pay, I know you love Rosie, you'll be genuinely good to her, won't you?"

"Yes, Emma, you can trust me completely. Pate's heart was excited, he was going to elope with Rosie under the protection of the night, and thanked the gods, they must have heard his prayers in the middle of the night, and he longed to live with Lotie, and to go to his school town and the bachelor's necklace, nothing could compare to Lotie's smile at him.

Emma said something upstairs, and several hotel maids came down, and Pate was so excited that he could no longer hear Emma and the maids talking, and his eyes looked out of the window, and he saw an island in the distance due west and the water of the vast sea.

Emma simply freshened up and dressed up and went out.

Pate sat down, and a maid poured him wine, bread and honey, and roast meat and snacks. Pate wasn't polite, he was going to give Emma a gold dragon, so he thought he deserved these things.

Pate ate ate and drink in the hotel, but neither wine nor meat has lost its taste in his mouth, as if chewing hay. He was looking forward to the alchemist's appearance. The alchemist's face, Pate, didn't know that the guy's face was hidden in his hood, and he had never faced Pate for what he really was. But as soon as he showed up, Pate knew it was him.

I don't know how long it was, but just when Pate couldn't help but stand up for the third time and go out to look, he saw the alchemist appear. He came by boat, walked up the wooden bridge, and walked straight to the hotel. Pate immediately walked out to meet the alchemist, and perhaps the next moment, Emma would bring Rosie back, and he didn't have a golden dragon in his hand.

"Why are you here now?" was the first thing Pate said to the alchemist. He was a little impatient.

The alchemist was calm and said lightly: "Pate, I came at the agreed time. ”

"Did you bring the money?" was the second sentence Pate said.

A golden dragon appeared on the alchemist's finger, and with a slight movement of his finger, the golden dragon flipped dexterously between his fingers, and it was about to fall to the ground several times, but at the most dangerous moment, the gold coin flipped back again, and it was dangerous.

"Is it true?" Pate hadn't seen many gold coins with his own eyes. This will be the first time he has gotten gold with his own hands. He is a child of a poor family, and it would be nice to have a silver deer in the family. And with the scholars, apart from books, there is no chance to see the golden dragon.

"Really. The alchemist didn't mind Pate's rudeness, and said lightly.

"Can I take a look first?" Pate thought he had to be careful, this golden dragon was related to his and Rosie's future happiness.

"Of course. The alchemist handed the gold to Pate's hand.

Pate's heart was excited, and he flipped through the gold coins, and it felt no different from the knight's gold coins he had just seen. He put the coin in his mouth and bit it, and he had seen others do it: "Okay, it's true." ”

In the blink of an eye, the gold coin was taken back by the alchemist, and Pate didn't understand what was going on, and the gold coin returned to the alchemist's hand: "Did you bring the key?"

"Yes. ”

"Show me. ”

"You give me the gold first. ”

"I can't give it to you here. ”

"Why?"

"I don't want anyone to see this transaction, the soldiers patrolling the river, the merchant ships coming and going, and the maids in the hotel. ”

"So where are we going?"

"Go to town. ”

Pate hesitated. The alchemist put the golden dragon in his pocket: "If you want to trade, follow suit." The alchemist strode away. Pate alone took a heartbeat in the gazebo, and the next moment, he followed behind the alchemist.

Half an hour later, the two of them went ashore and walked on the road paved with goose warm stones. The alchemist walked faster and faster, and Pate had to trot to follow. The terrain is getting more and more remote, there are more and more trees on both sides of the road, and the goose warm stones on the ground are becoming more and more slippery.

"Just trade here, I won't go with you again. Pate said flatly.

The alchemist paused and turned around, his face still hidden in the hood of his spear: "Well, there's no one here anymore, let's trade." The alchemist took out the golden dragon, and Pat took out the key.

At the moment when he handed the key to the alchemist, Pate hesitated and struggled, "Can I ask you why you need this key?"

"Not why. The alchemist said lightly.

"Well, I know I shouldn't be asking such a stupid question, can I see who you really are before we close the deal?"

"There's nothing to see. The alchemist said lightly. He lowered his hood.

Pate saw a striking eagle-hooked nose, pale blonde hair, those eyes were very special, the gaze was as deep as a long night, and a faint scar slanted across the left eyebrow, splitting the eyebrow in two.

The alchemist put the golden dragon in Pate's hand, and Pate handed the key into the alchemist's hand, and Pate said, "I'm curious, can I ask what to call you?"

"I, a nobody, really. The alchemist said lightly. He put on his hood, and his recognizable face was no longer visible, "Pate, look, there's something strange in that river?"

Pate turned his head to look at the river, which was hazy with a white mist. Suddenly, Pate found himself falling, and the goose stone ground flew like a shield, hitting him in the face so hard that he heard the sound of his own bones shattering......
