"City of Generosity" Byam, inside the Consulate in Intis.

Elaine sat in front of the dresser, looking at her beautiful but slightly haggard self in the mirror, and was stunned for several minutes.

The period of escaping from the Black Death was full of anticipation and suffering for her, fearing that she would be accidentally discovered by pirates and adventurers, and that she would be captured by the "sick lieutenant general" Tracy, completely losing her freedom, and never returning to her hometown and returning to her original life.

It wasn't until she hid in the consulate of her motherland through the remnants of her family's ties and got a ticket to leave the sea that she relaxed a little.

But this was still not enough to make her mind steady, and she thought that actually landing on the North Continent was the end of everything.

Thinking of this, Elaine couldn't help but raise her right hand and stroked the skin of her cheeks, which was not too fair but healthy enough, and found that its delicacy was much better than when she was a maritime merchant, and there was an illusion of reversing time and returning to her girlhood.

In fact, after entering the Intis Consulate, she had another option in addition to escaping the sea, that is, to cooperate with the Storm Church, the Rune military, and some spies in the consulate, and use herself as bait to capture the "Sick Lieutenant General" Tracy.

But she thought about it for a long time, and finally gave up this plan, and even asked the elder friends of the family who served as the military attaché of the consulate not to tell others about the fact that she was hiding here.

In any case, she never caused me any real harm, and in many places she would accommodate me and satisfy me...... In addition to nightly, every night...... That's, that's just the surface...... In the memory, Elaine's cheeks suddenly turned red.

The intoxicating nights, the fiery entanglement of limbs, and the unimaginable joy all passed through her mind, and it was difficult to calm down for a short time.

Elaine took a slow breath and exhaled it again.

She shook her head, letting the yearning for freedom, the nostalgia for her hometown, and the longing for her loved ones reoccupy her heart.

She looked at herself in her glasses again, coiling her dangling red hair in a circle.

She then thickened her straight eyebrows, intensifying the shadows and giving herself a more defined and deep look.

After such makeup, Elaine became a little more neutral and heroic.

She took off her clothes, wrapped her breasts in strips of cloth, and put on a white shirt, black waistcoat, men's trousers, and a long, double-breasted gown.

Finally, she took off her silk top hat and put it on top of her head, hiding all her red hair.

At this time, she looked more like a handsome young man than a woman in the mirror, especially the emerald eyes seemed to be very suitable for similar appearances, with a kind of charming depth.

Elaine waited patiently for a while until there was a knock on the door.

She picked up her luggage, opened the door and went out, following the elder friend all the way to the side door of the consulate garden.

A carriage has stopped there and will take her to the port, where she will board a passenger ship and go to the port of Pritz in the Kingdom of Rune, from where she will make a detour back to Intis.

Elaine had remarkable anti-tracking skills, taking a hard look at her surroundings, including the coachman.

The local native, thin and strong, does not like to wear hats, his facial features have not changed compared to when he saw him before, and his expression is a little nervous, which is normal...... Elaine made the confirmation, thanked the friend of the family elder, carried her luggage, and boarded the carriage.

As the wheels rolled, she pursed her lips and looked out the window, only to see the Indis plane trees sweeping back quickly.

It gave her the illusion of returning to Trier.

It is a metropolis full of sunshine, located in the area between the rivers Lane and Serenzo, with beautiful scenery, many varieties of roses, developed humanities and arts, and is a sacred place for painters, musicians, and families.

It was the capital of Intis, the first truly cosmopolitan metropolis after Russell the Great, and it was also Elaine's hometown, where she grew up, a city that she often saw in her dreams and shed tears for.

After some time, Elaine suddenly felt that something was wrong, because the surrounding streets were getting more and more deserted and more and more remote.

Although she has been a maritime merchant for a long time and is not familiar with the Bayam of the Sunia Sea, the "Hunter" in Sequence 9 can bring her enough vigilance.

"Is this the right route?" said Elaine, shifting her position, cautiously asking the coachman.

She's always ready to jump out of the car, ready to condense the fireball.

The coachman did not look back, looked at the road ahead, and said with a flattering smile:

"Honorable young lady, this road is closer, and it is not easy to encounter blockages.

"You know, Byam has been built for many years, and there weren't so many people and not so many carriages, and many of the streets were very narrow, and around noon, around evening, they were very easy to get clogged, and it was faster to walk than by horse-drawn carriage. ”

Elaine thought about it and believed it, because she had been in a similar situation in many cities.

Or Trier, when Russell the Great renovated the old town, had the foresight to expand the roads, and even today, it is enough to use...... Elaine had just flashed this thought when she suddenly heard the neighing of the horse pulling the cart, and seemed to be in some pain.

"Wait a minute, it seems to have stepped on something. The coachman pulled over and jumped off.

Elaine didn't think there was anything about it, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw that it was a silent alley with no people.

Her heartstrings tightened, and she didn't hesitate to crash through the carriage and tumble outside.

Whether it was an overreaction or not, she thought it had to be done.

At this moment, a strong fear surged in her heart, as if she was being targeted by a monster that was extremely hungry.

The spiritual pressure made her hesitant to act rashly.

Immediately, she heard a deep voice:

"I won't hurt you.

"I asked some questions. ”

Elaine had a lot of thoughts in her mind, and she quickly weighed the various options she could make at the moment.

In the end, she did not blindly escape, and sat back in her place under the pressure of great terror.

She plans to adjust her plan of action a little bit depending on the situation.

The door opened, and the lanky native coachman stepped up and sat across from Elaine, none other than Crane the Faceling.

- In order to play the role of a coachman, he practiced how to steer horses and vehicles, a skill he had not yet learned in the Tingen Market Value Nightman team. In view of the time constraints, he did not grasp it sufficiently, so he had to use the breath of "wriggling hunger", and the successful horses became obedient.

At the same time, Daniz, who was hiding nearby, ran over, sat down in the driver's seat, and took control of the vehicle.

His round-brimmed felt hat was pressed low and he was dressed like a real coachman.

Elaine bent her back slightly vigilantly, ready to pounce like a cheetah.

She felt the gaze of the man across her slowly sweep over her forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, neck, chest, waist, abdomen, and legs, and she was extremely uncomfortable to see.

Similar gazes, similar looks, she had seen in Intis, in Trier, in the days when she was running out to sea, that belonged to the scoundrels, to the disgusting ones, full of lust.

But this time, she strangely didn't feel insulted, and she didn't think that the other party was trying to tear off her clothes, fantasizing about some abnormal picture.

It's more like studying food...... It was as if a cold, slippery snake was swimming against my skin...... Elaine finally couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative to speak:

"What do you want to ask?"

Klein, who had completely grasped the physical characteristics of the other party, leaned forward, his arms naturally rested on his two thighs, and his palms were half-empty and half-solid:

"You've heard of Jimmy Neck?"

Elaine recalled for a few seconds, then shook her head firmly in denial.

She frowned slightly, confused and asked:

"Are you looking for the wrong person?"

"He's a wealthy merchant, a wealthy merchant who likes to collect, and you've heard of similar people from Tracy?" Klein asked again.

Tracy ...... Elaine sighed secretly and replied seriously:

"No, she never mentioned the rich businessmen who liked to collect. ”

Klein looked into the redhead's eyes and said in an unhappy tone:

"Then does her room have ancient documents from the Southern Continent's Bailang Empire?"

"No, she's not a person who likes to read these materials, she hates reading books so much that she has to read them to her. As she spoke, Elaine smiled wryly.

"What does she look at?" Crane asked, unchanged.

"Those classics of Russell, and the love stories that are popular now. Elaine replied calmly.

Klein nodded:

"Does she have a collection room?"

"Yes, but no one can enter except her and a handful of mysterious visitors, including me. Elaine recalled.

Klein was silent for a few seconds, keeping his posture unchanged and said:

"Tell me your story. ”

"My?" Elaine pointed to herself in surprise.

Klein bowed his head slightly, and did not repeat.

Elaine was stunned for a while and said:

"My story is simple.

"My father was a member of the Sauron family, a former royal family of Indis, and had a small share of the wealth, but he became addicted to alcohol, mistresses, marijuana, and gambling and eventually went bankrupt.

"In order to repay my debts, I chose to accept some of my family's conditions, became an extraordinary, and went to sea to become a maritime merchant. ”
