Volume 1 Dream Treading Dust Chapter 18 Astrological Secret Letter
Bai Lianzhou's mind began to thunder.
Some puzzled eyes swept over the fat and wide back, and the young man silently followed the know-it-all into the back room.
If the previous duel with the Spirit Envoy Teucer was a palpitation, the current atmosphere was enough to make his legs weak and unable to stand.
Jack-of-all-trades boss, although he doesn't know his real name, he has a lot of weight in Saru Town, Bai Lianzhou was still curious before, why is he as omniscient and omniscient as opening the eyes of the sky, it turns out that he is so deeply hidden, and he is actually still the person next to the patriarch of the astrological clan?
The know-it-all glanced coldly at the young man's bulging pockets, and said mockingly: "That yellow-haired boy is so poor that you are greedy, you are greedy for thirty or fifty silver coins, and I gave you too little money to let you do such a thing?" ”
"Hey, boss, you're ......"
The know-it-all hand tugged on Bai Lianzhou's shoulder and ripped off the rags, "Not only kill people and steal goods, but also tear people's clothes and wrap wounds, do you have a little conscience?"
At this time, the spiritual power in his body also recovered about thirty percent, he secretly urged the spiritual power, treated the wound on his shoulder, and said stiffly: "I scraped it off when I tore it with that gangster, don't believe it, how can there be a wound on my shoulder!"
He gambled that this jack-of-all-trades didn't know that spiritual power could speed up the healing of flesh and blood, and pulled his clothes off, and the position that had been stabbed by Teucer had been completely healed, and his skin was smooth and flat.
"Phew, boy, you've been exposed, tell me the truth. ”
Bai Lianzhou scolded 10,000 words of "damn" in his heart, half a year ago, he was just an innocent and good boy of the Wind Empire who loved reading, since he came to the Violet Empire with the elite troops, he had done all the crimes of murder and arson - after all, it was the first time to do it, not only did he steal other people's purses, he ripped other people's clothes as gauze, and he forgot to hide the body before leaving......
Bai Lianzhou, Bai Lianzhou, you are such a complete idiot.
Thinking so, but not revealing it on the surface, the young man leaned his back against the door and asked vigilantly, "What are you talking about, I don't know anything." ”
"Bai Lianzhou, if your boss wants to harm you, can he still give you a chance to stand here and rub around?"
"Give me two sips of wine. Bai Lianzhou's heart moved, he stepped forward, and drank all the milk wine in the half-clay pot, wiped his mouth with his sleeve with a big grin, and said in a deep voice: "How can you be sure that I am a new spirit envoy?"
"I told you a long time ago, I know everything to see people, you kid is not an ordinary person, you don't believe it. The know-it-all snatched the wine jar and continued with some distress: "You kid, the ability to deceive people is not good, but the ability to deceive wine is a good learner." ”
The young man burped and asked a little dizzy: "Look at the person, you can only see that I am a spirit master, but it is impossible to judge that I am a spirit envoy, boss, you also recruited from the truth." ”
"The one who died just now is a second-tier dealer who fled for his life, and has been in Saru Town for four or five years, relying on his own spiritual skills, reselling our fragrance scraps here, offending those nobles and knights in the palace, and happened to meet you kid at the door of the inn, in fact, he is not a spirit messenger at all. The know-it-all muttered, "The world is terrible, even a small place like Saru Town is mixed with dirty things." ”
Bai Lianzhou was puzzled and asked, "What dirty thing?"
"Even a thug who hasn't taken a shower for half a year can say that he's a spirit envoy, he's not dirty, are you?" Jack-of-all-trades looked up at him, "Do you want to know the details of this matter?"
Bai Lianzhou shouted: "Of course I want to know!"
"You bastard, don't go crazy with the strength of wine, talk quietly, for fear that others won't hear, right?" The know-it-all sat motionless, holding his hands on his knees with some difficulty, "These words, even Xiyao can't say, understand?"
"Xi Yao is also a psychic?"
"Here, except for me, the boss, everyone has spiritual powers. The know-it-all lowered his voice, "And the guy in town who sells goat's milk wine, I've known him for five or six years, and I've never heard him say that he has such a beautiful niece." ”
Hearing the know-it-all say this, Bai Lianzhou was not surprised, he had long thought that Xi Yao should be able to do spiritual arts, but for some reason, he couldn't detect her spiritual power level.
"In short, now that the situation is serious, what you were talking about outside just now, if you let someone with a heart listen to it, you may not be able to save your life, it is really dangerous. The know-it-all glanced cautiously outward, and continued: "The patriarch has already sent a message from the side, you don't leave for St. Landle for the time being, someone will be sent to pick you up in two days." ”
"Is that really the case?" Bai Lianzhou jumped up excitedly, but immediately lowered his voice and asked, "Is this what the patriarch said?"
"Can there be a fake?" Jack-of-all-trades took out a small envelope from the inner pocket of his jacket, "The astrological messenger asked me to hand it over to you, everything I want to say is inside, you can see for yourself." ”
Bai Lianzhou took it respectfully. The envelope was thin, it was brown paper, the dark red fire paint coat of arms was very new, and it looked like it had been sent in an urgent manner, and the paper was rubbed with wax oil from a rosewood spoon.
Jack-of-all-trades flipped the wine jar and said nonchalantly: "There have been more and more spiritualists in the town in the past two days, and the patriarch wants you to stay here for a few more days to see what other forces in the Violet Empire are eyeing the new spirit envoys." ”
"I see. ”
Bai Lianzhou carefully opened the envelope, took out the letter paper inside, and felt a fragrance coming to his face. The boy didn't know much about spices, but he felt that they were sweet and greasy, a bit like roses, and a little like jasmine. Looking at the handwriting again, the strokes are as delicate as the furnace engraving of the letter stamp heraldry.
"My future patriarch must be very gentle and beautiful, right?"
"What did you say?" Jack-of-all-trades froze and looked a little nervous.
"My patriarch, it's called Rongmei, isn't it......" Bai Lianzhou said that the letter paper was put in front of his nose and sniffed fiercely, "Although I don't usually touch spices, but when I smell it, I know that it is used by women, and my neighbor's sister was like this before, and the Rongmei patriarch must be as gentle and beautiful as her." ”
"How do you read? The dogs in Saru are more educated than you. The know-it-all expression eased and spit out fiercely, "Which Chinese teacher taught you to use 'gentle' and 'beautiful' to describe men? You asked him to come to me, I think he is suitable to come to my store to chop wood." ”
"Male...... How can the word charm be used on men?" Bai Lianzhou was dumbfounded, thinking that this patriarch must be extremely feminine, not even male or female, to call such a feminine name and use such a sweet fragrance......
It's a little disgusting to think about.
"Okay, okay, don't think about these things that you don't have, the head of a dignified family, it's not your turn to judge. "Wanshi Passage," after all, there is such an inn in the west of Saru Town, and there are many people, so you should be careful lately. ”
Bai Lianzhou asked, "I heard Xiyao say before that the people in the town are all coming to me?"
"Pretty much. In short, you stay in the store honestly, don't make trouble for me, and wait for the news to be approved before going out for activities, do you hear?" Know-it-all showed a solemn smile, "Also, you kid can't get out if you fall into the woman's pit, think about it yourself first if something happens, don't always talk to Xiyao, understand?"
"Why?"
"You are the spirit envoy of the astrological clan, of course, you can only trust the astrological people. At best, Xi Yao has nothing to do with your astrological clan, so you don't need to tell her the details of these things, but at worst, the relationship between the major races and the royal family in our country is complicated, and it is not something that you can figure out for a while. The Rongmei patriarch asked you to stay and explore the reality of Saru Town, but it doesn't have to be aimed at anyone......." The know-it-all said this, and the words changed: "Until the point, realize it yourself." ”
Bai Lianzhou nodded: "Then please be accommodating to the boss and tell me what I need to pay attention to in the future." ”
The jack-of-all-trades took a deep breath and said patiently: "I don't have a deep connection with the people in the royal capital, and the people of the astrology clan can't recognize everything, so I can't help you check it, so you carry this letter with you all the time, so as not to let others see it." This matter is top secret, and if someone mentions this letter to you in the future, it will definitely be someone sent by the astrologers to answer you, understand?"
He continued: "Definitely, you must bring it with yourself! Cherish it, if you lose it or damage it, no one will recognize you as the new spirit envoy of the astrological clan!"
"Understood, understood. It's all up to you. Bai Lianzhou turned over and looked at the secret letter, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.
Recall the words of the old man in Tubrick, the owner of the "Suppression of the World" is a man, which is against the patriarch of the astrological clan. It's just that after thinking about it, although the men of the Violet Empire are indeed as burly and strong as the mercenaries of the Fire Empire, all of them are tough guys, they shouldn't be like to use sweet perfumes, neither men nor women, right?
Why did this know-it-all boss even want him to carry this letter with him? Is he trying to prevent Xi Yao, or does he want someone to deliberately see his flaws?
