"Alice, Alice..." Hurlington ignored the majesty and solemnity of the palace, holding Alice's black dragon scale armor and shouting here. Before he approached the bedroom where Alice lived, his
His voice was already heard by the nearby palace guards. In the past, these guards would have stopped Hullington from making any noise here, but now they are too lazy to care about it. They know that this man is Elance.
The princess's best friend is of no use even talking about it.
Hullington didn't mean to yell, he was just too happy. Recently, he has made continuous progress in alchemy. Not only did he have a better understanding of the ice feathers of the Holy Snow and Ice Phoenix, but he also improved his own alchemy.
Breaking through a new difficulty. Alice's black dragon scale armor has been modified by him no less than three times, and this time he feels that he has made the best modification.
"Hey, isn't Alice here?" When he arrived outside the palace where Alice lived, he didn't wait for Alice's response. Hullington turned his questioning eyes to the guards guarding the place, hoping to get an answer.
The guard shook his head: "Her Royal Highness the princess has gone out and should be playing in the back garden. The princess seems not very happy today. There may be something unhappy about her."
"Unhappy? Isn't her brother's matter in the past? Her mood has improved a lot in the past two days, how could she..." Hughington went to the palace garden with doubts.
Alice was indeed in the palace garden. She was in a daze by the small pool, quietly looking at the ornamental fish in the pool. She squatted there silently without saying a word. She didn't notice it until Hughington came to her side.
.
Hurlington held up the black dragon scale armor with a smile and said: "Alice, take a look, the changes this time are definitely better than last time. I have recruited several mentors from the alchemy department, and they have given me a lot of inspiration and
Inspiration, do you want to try it now?"
Alice lowered her head and pouted, not wanting to say anything. She just picked up a stone and threw it into the fish pond, startling the dragonflies lying on the water.
"What's wrong? I just heard from the guards that you were unhappy." Hughington asked with concern: "Are you still sad about your brother? It's been so long, and the sadness should have passed."
Alice shook her head, her eyes turned red, and she raised her head and asked Hughington: "Hughington, do you think my master...has he forgotten me? Or does he not have me in his heart at all...
Without us?”
Hullington was puzzled: "Why did you mention him so well?"
Alice's nose was sore, and she tried hard not to cry again, and said: "In the morning, I listened to the guards talking about the front line, and then I realized that Philip Ruhl's death was related to the master. The master's guardian dragon
Zaffino not only indirectly killed the general, but also killed...killed many soldiers of the Demon Moon, many, many..."
"So that's it." Hughington didn't expect that to be the case.
"You said that Master, who helped Saint Bikoa fight against the Demon Moon, didn't care about my feelings at all?" After saying this, Alice's eyes became redder and tears were about to fall, and she quickly wiped her face.
He turned to the side so that Hullington wouldn't see him.
"This..." Hughington thought about it: "Your master is indeed more pragmatic and unscrupulous in getting Long Ling. Bing Zhixie must have been lured by Saint Bikoya to participate in the army's war.
But to say that he doesn’t care about your feelings at all, I don’t think so.”
"Really?" Alice would ask this in the past, but she absolutely trusted the master in her heart, but now...she is a little unsure.
Hullington affirmed: "Of course. On the surface, he always seems to be hard-hearted and even a little vicious, but after the journey, I can see that he still cares about you."
Alice thought about everything in the past and realized that this was indeed the case. She felt a little relieved, but she still felt as sad as if she had been greatly wronged.
Hullington stepped forward and comforted: "Don't be too sad. I don't think Bing Zhixie will really become Mo Yue's enemy. He is not a heartless person."
"Yes." Alice nodded: "Hughington, I want to go out for a walk, can you accompany me?"
"Go out?" Hullington thought it would be good for her to go out and relax, so he said: "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was killed, you have been bored in the house. It's time to go out for a walk. But you should tell the Queen, and then say more
Bring some guards."
Alice shook her head: "I just want to take a quiet walk and visit the place where my brother was killed."
"But……"
Alice's red eyes looked directly at Hullington: "The target of those murderers is my brother, the crown prince. Now that they have succeeded, will they still want to kill me?"
Seeing that she was a little excited, Hughington didn't want to provoke her, so he said: "Then dress more plainly, so that you won't be easily recognized when you go out."
Alice still had no objection to this. She returned to the palace, changed into ordinary clothes, and went out with Hughington. At this time, Alice was no longer subject to various supervision and restrictions when entering and exiting the palace. At least she was already in the palace.
I traveled a lot and came back safely.
In the suburbs, the bloodstains had long been covered up by time and dust. Standing at the spot where her brother was killed, Alice seemed to be able to smell the smell of blood in the air at that time. The cruel scenes and the bloody scenes had deeply impressed her.
It was branded in her heart. Although she had witnessed death and massacre in two years, the tragic death of her relatives had become a lingering shadow on her.
Standing on the side of the road silently remembering, this kind of condolences should go to the cemetery, but here it seems to be more engraved in people's hearts. Hughington stood aside and watched silently. He usually likes to be bored, sarcastic and ridiculing, but he
Not being an ignorant person, he didn't want to disturb her at this time until she wanted to leave.
From a distance, pedestrians are walking towards here. It seems that they have walked a long way. Such pedestrians can often be seen near Thebiles. Most of them come here with their own business and purpose.
.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The pedestrians were riding in carriages, the kind of carriages pulled by monsters with long-distance endurance. They passed by Alice and headed towards the city outline in the distance.
As we drove away, all that was left was the dust kicked up along the way.
Alice was brought back to consciousness by the sound of the passing carriage team. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said to Hurlington: "Let's go back." She came here because of her playfulness.
She expressed her deep apologies for causing her brother to lose his life and hoped to get forgiveness from him here. Although she knew that this way of comforting the dead was just a kind of self-forgiveness and redemption, she really hoped in her heart to make amends for herself.
's fault.
Hullington was like a silent flower protector at this time. He quietly escorted the princess here, and now he quietly escorted her back.
The wind blew by, blowing the white bouquets on the ground, and people walked away with final regret and helplessness.
…
Back at the city gate, Hullington and Alice were about to enter the city, but were attracted by the dispute in front of the city gate. Hullington observed carefully and found that one of the people who caused the dispute was the carriage team that just passed by them. .
The number of this fleet is not very large, there are only five carriages, but the carriages are very solid and exquisite. They are not rented from stables and inns, nor do they look like the carriages used by ordinary wealthy businessmen. This is evident from the magic beast on the front of the carriage. You can tell, because it is a valuable beast that can fly and walk.
Another group that caused the dispute was a caravan. It seemed that they had just purchased a large amount of local luxury goods from Thebiles and were preparing to sell them in other major cities in Lada to make huge profits. The political capital of a country , it may also be the fashion capital of a country, which dominates the country's fashion and cultural trends, and citizens from other parts of the country will of course follow the trends here.
Generally, those who can do this kind of business are the nobles of the imperial capital or businessmen related to the nobles. Only they can get the most popular and in-demand things in the imperial capital and then sell them. Such people are usually powerful and arrogant, so When the goods they were transporting were knocked over by an outsider's carriage, they would always behave very arrogantly and unreasonably, and it would be quite normal for them to cause disputes.
"Do you see clearly? Every piece of the goods we are pulling is extremely expensive and is a work of art." The person whose goods were knocked over pointed at the outsiders who were about to enter the city and kept saying: "What do you outsiders know? Is it called art? Art means whatever you say it’s worth, it’s worth.”
"So you just want to blackmail us?" The accused foreigner said without any sign of weakness: "You just said that it is worth whatever I said it was worth, right? Hey, I see these rags are only worth ten gold coins at most. We are willing to promise to compensate you ten times, so you should have some fun."
"You... hum!" the person whose goods were knocked over said angrily: "Don't do this to me. You don't even look at where this place is and whose territory it belongs to! This is the imperial capital, and outsiders come here. You have to be honest with us when you come here. Humph, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was murdered recently, and suspicious people are being arrested inside and outside the city. I think you people are very suspicious."
The accused party was furious: "You are blackmailing and shameless! You...are you people from Debilis like this?"
"Quality? Do you people deserve to talk about quality with people in the imperial capital? Don't think that you really think of yourself as a noble after riding a few beautiful carriages. You are a bunch of country guys and nouveau riche." The party whose goods were knocked over was full of people. With contempt and ridicule, he sneered: "As for blackmail, country guys can never change their ignorant nature. Compensation for knocking over other people's goods is a matter of course. No matter how unreasonable you are, you still have to pay."
The other people in the caravan followed up and shouted: "Yes, yes, you have to pay. Even if the sheriff comes, you will have to pay." The people in the caravan were outnumbered, and they took advantage of the local area. When the commotion started, there were many people around. People also followed suit.
