The Amber Sword

Chapter 68: Act I City of Burning

Eyes back to the Year of Flowers and Summer Leaves, early June 2nd.

With the bar owner's daughter Sue's lead, Freya soon arrived at 51 Bonoan Market, and she glanced out, even in the early morning, there were still many people in this largest trading market in Lidenburg, and the fire pit lit up in close proximity, and the bright lights made people feel a little more or less at ease ——

She walked, and the girl named Su grabbed her hand: "Don't go, there are people hiding in the alley. ”

The young girl with the hemp braids stood at the corner of the street at the light and dark junction, holding one hand against the wall and staring vigilantly outside.

“Is it a guard?” Freya was surprised.

“I don't know, but there are two faces, definitely not from this part of town.” Su shook his head and replied quietly.

Freya put the handle on her mouth and hesitated a little nervously. Most of the men who showed up at Bonoan Market at this time were soldiers of the White Beard Corps, and he knew that they had found Hood. I just don't know if they've met. Should she knock on the door again?

The future goddess of martial arts frowned and suddenly remembered what Brando told her:

“If you find traces of the army, don't worry, they won't scare the snakes until you know our relationship. They also want an opportunity to knock us all out. ”

Thinking about it, Freya took a breath. She turned back and said, "Sue, can you answer some questions? ”

“What?”

“I ask you, do you know how to see a man lying? ”

The dark-skinned girl smiled: "Is that why I ask? ”

Freya, who was seen through her mind, blushed, and she did see Su Yuan's experience and insights much richer than herself. In her earlier conversation with Su, she and everyone thought that nobility would save them, but Su pointed out the nature of things in just one or two words.

So in her mind, this somewhat cold-blooded girl is a very sensitive and opinionated girl.

“It's okay, I help others occasionally," Sue smiled. “Freya, look at me. ”

“Ah?”

“What's the name of your friend who said that Leidenberg would be broken? ”

Freya suddenly wondered why this young girl was suddenly talking about it. Her heart panicked and her eyes couldn't help but flash: "Brando. ”

Su's eyes moved: “You like him, don't you? ”

“No, no, Brando. He, he likes Roman. ”

“Eyes, look at me, Freya," Su Ping looked at Freya, dark brown eyes calm like a pool of water: “Who is Roman? ”

Freya's face was like a fire. There she dared to look at Su. Her eyes fluttered and she wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to start. She thinks she is Tianzi No. 1 fool, or the one who doesn't have a discount, she can't help but find a sew to hide in for a while.

“Understood?” Su asked.

“Understood.” Freya lowered her head and pushed a little harder.

She took a breath and grabbed the sword and wanted to go out, but immediately turned around and grabbed Sue's arm: “Sue, can I wait here? ”

Su Yi, but nodded. Freya suddenly felt a little strange, but she always felt that having Sue around her, like Brando, would give her some confidence.

Then she walked out of the alley, pretending she didn't care for those around her, and went straight to Bonoan Market No. 51, and she raised her hand - hesitated for a moment, and Freya felt at least two sharp drops on her back, but eventually banged on her drums.

Bang bang bang, knocking on the door sounded like a heartbeat, Freya waited for a few moments before the door opened. The back revealed a man with a crotch on his back, bald and almost impossible to see his age. When he saw Freya, he noticeably crooked and his eyes subconsciously shrunk back.

“When you find the wool textile dealer named Hood, don't identify yourself, give him time to meet us at the bar. If you pay attention to his reaction, you'll know he's unreliable. ”

“Freya, look at me. ”

Freya captured this subtle change in colour in the first place, and Brando and Sue's words reminded her of it at the same time, making her feel cold.

“Who are you and what can I do for you?” The short man stood still and asked.

Freya was silent for about a second, and she looked at each other like that, cold. And then just as the little man couldn't help wanting to back off, suddenly 'Z' pulled out his sword and put it around his neck, his eyes slightly heaved.

Sooner or later, when the situation suddenly changed, Sue saw several people move unconsciously in the street. But they quickly calmed down and returned to the state of beginning--there was a very minor move, and only the girl hiding on the corner could see it all.

Freya had no idea what was going on behind her, she just held the sword as calmly as possible and said plainly: "Are you the witch's accomplice? ”

“Don't kill me, are they forcing me, forcing me, woman... witch?” The short man, frightened by this sudden change, sat on the ground with his ass, and then reacted to what the cold-faced ponytail girl had asked.

Freya, all I can think about at this moment is what Brando, the wizard obedient, the young man named Charles, said:

“Your aunt understands a lot. This is a secret circulated among wizards in the world. There is a book called" The Epic of Darkness, "which tells about what has happened over the past countless years...”

“But not necessarily, magically related people. Some of the country witches also know some rumors about this. ”

In fact, she never thought she could be so resilient before she took the sword, or that her brain was a state of emptiness. She said coldly: "You should call her 'Jenny’, forget it... it doesn't matter, I'll teach you a lesson first. ”

As she said, lifting her sword, the textile merchant named Hood immediately shouted: “Wait, wait, my lord, I have nothing to do with her... No, no, it's not okay, I mean I'm not with her. I mean, she's just an ordinary relative, no, no, distant relatives--! ”

“Oh?”

“Really, really! Believe me, believe me, she just comes to town once in a while to pick up -- the witch, yes, the witch! She does charge strange things —— yes! She lives in Butch with her niece! ”

Freya looked at the man, holding on to her disgust. Pick him up: "But my informant told me that she went into town a few days ago, and you'd better not cheat me. As a wizard, I can always draw your memories and memories out! ”

The little businessman had been paralyzed by a sword scaffold around his neck for a long time, and he couldn't hear Freya's speech: “I said, I said, she left Riedenberg two days ago to go north. ”

Freya looked him in the eye and threw the guy away nauseously. She gasped slightly, but heard Sue whistling around the corner of the alley. She knew that her big move had caught the attention of those people and she had to get out of here.

But she didn't realize Aunt Jenny wasn't here. She went north? It's Braggs to the north. Where is she going? But it doesn't look like this man is lying.

She bit her teeth and hesitated for a moment.

The afternoon sun shines through the castle's vaulted floor-to-ceiling windows and brightens this flexible room. A young girl in a silver princess dress sits beside a small round table in Rococo style, sitting in a standard position on a high-back chair with a slim palm flat with a cup of black tea, the other holding a silver key, motionless, soft, pale silver-grey eyes staring forward - as if listening to a story is divine.

She has a beautiful silver curly hair, half-tipped ears revealing a white tip from the curly hair. She is the favorite daughter of Obergu VII and the recognized first beauty of Eluin.

If in Brando's time, players and NPCs alike, call her Princess Regent, and if anyone in Eruin can compare to the prestige of the goddess of martial arts, then this one still looks a little naive.

“Quite a smart little girl, the Evertons are real people.” It took a while for the princess to put the cup down and ask quietly: "Then what, Lord Ovewell? ”

The cold-faced middle-aged man who stood in front of her, if Brando were here, would have recognized him. Because this is the Count Dwayne, whose throat was sealed by his sword. But in fact, in the aristocratic circle of the capital, there are not many people who know the Count, but he has a nickname more widely known than this:

‘Sir Wolf' Ovewell, the closest minister to His Majesty, one of the core leaders of the Royal Party, had a very good personal relationship with Everton and Woodrow.

Ovewell measured the princess, knowing that it was not easy, but she was the pearl in the palm of His Majesty's hand today, and he didn't dare do anything about it.

This time he went to Riedenberg under the name of the Dwayne of the Lleisburman family - because they were both appreciative masters and had a very similar thing in common about collecting a hobby. Though facial resemblance is unlikely, it's not a big deal in an age of blocked news - he's here to do something for Obergu VII, a secret mission.

It was only here that he realised that the princess was asking herself a question and woke up: "Naturally, Count Everton's daughter looks at least as good as her father, unfortunately...”

He had intended to say that unfortunately it was a woman, but suddenly realized that the princess before him was the crown of the royal family, hurriedly swallowed the second half of the sentence unwillingly.

The girl certainly understood what he was trying to say, but she didn't ask. I just changed the subject: "But, Count, I have some doubts about your previous story. You deliberately bothered that young man, and it seemed like a little more than that. ”

Beating Felwell thought you wouldn't understand, but he answered respectfully: "I'm just worried about his intentions. A highland knight, along with his squire, appeared in Lidenburg, next to Everton's daughter. Your Highness, you know that the white knights of Karasu and your father are not on the same path..."

“I know, but they didn't object. ”

“That's exactly why I'd like to try him. Anyway, it's just a shadow. I can tell the difference between the weight and the weight of Karasu. For His Majesty's sake, even if I try it myself.” Beat Feverwell, "he replied.

“I thank you for my father, Lord Verwell.” The princess thought that Father and this guy wanted to work in the province of Karasou, but could it succeed? She guessed what they were trying to do.

She thought that the recommended places at the Royal Cavalry Academy in Basta might be added. But she wanted to remind me of something, but she thought about her identity and did it.

And finally, he said, "Then what, Lord Ovewell? I'd like to continue listening to the rest of the story, and I have about two or three more bars to listen to before my history lesson starts. ”

“Of course, I'd love to. ”
