After coming out of Archbishop Meron's laboratory, Enleco and the others did not have the guts to return to their camp.
Now they would rather encounter a group of angry evil dragons than go back to face the raging Princess. They are fully aware of Her Majesty's stormy temperament. What's more, Kate and Jerry are afraid of being punished if they go back like this. Enleco was treated the same way. If they were also forced to accept the so-called special training for brides, it would be the most tragic thing in life. Now Enleco has been saddled with the biggest stain in life. Two people with a bright future Young people don't want to ruin their bright future. The one who is most worried about this matter is Kate, who always values reputation more than anything else. For Kate, this is far more terrifying than taking his life.
Three desperate young men wandered aimlessly on the streets of Vedsk.
Vedsk is worthy of being the center of the world, and the level of prosperity here cannot be compared to other countries. Even a very prosperous big city like Sophien pales in comparison to Vedsk.
In Vedsk, there are seven palaces arranged sequentially on the center line of the city. These palace groups are only a small part of Vedsk. The entire Vedsk can be said to be composed of countless squares. In each palace group There are squares in the front and back. There is a square in the center of those high-end residential areas. The intersection where businesses are connected is also a giant square. Even in relatively low-end residential areas, there will be a small square.
Each of these squares displays a large number of statues. Those large squares can be said to be exhibitions of various sculptures. Although those medium-sized squares do not have so many statues, the sculptures displayed there are both in terms of subject matter and art. In terms of value, they are even better than those statues displayed in large squares. Even the smallest squares will not forget to place a relatively common statue of the Earth Goddess in the middle. But those are just Cheap stuff made from ordinary stone.
Enleco and the others walked through one square after another, admiring various sculptures. Because everyone is in a different environment, everyone has completely different tastes in sculptures. For example, Kate, he prefers those expressions. Hero-themed statues, and those statues are almost without exception made of bronze. Jerry has no interest in these oily, black things. He is only interested in those angel statues, forest goddesses, etc. Shepherdess and sheep are interested in sculptures with this theme, and he especially admires the works carved with white marble. Enleco is neither as full of hero worship as Kate, nor as full of leisure and leisure as Jerry. He is only interested in carving more realistic statues. For example, the thinker and the archer are his favorite works.
However, there were times when they had unified opinions, and they were unanimous in their appreciation of the twelve triumphal arches.
Walk along the Avenue of Triumph and pass through the twelve triumphal arches in turn. Countless reliefs and statues are carved around each triumphal arch. Each one is so beautiful, and the graceful arc-shaped curve of the triumphal arch It also attracted their attention. Coupled with the white marble floor, even a picky person like Jerry was full of praise.
Going south along Triumph Avenue, there is the high-end residential area of Vedsk, where most of the princes and ministers live. The wide streets are lined with sycamore trees. Countless carriages come and go on the road. There are not only a large number of carriages, but also a wide variety of styles. The shapes and decorations of many carriages are completely designed to show off. Kate and Enleco are not very interested in these, but Jerry is watching intently and marveling at them from time to time. , I am so envious. In these high-end residential areas, you can see a medium-sized square every two or three hundred meters. The layout of these squares is quite good, but unfortunately the layout is quite unreasonable. Many sculptures are placed there haphazardly. Although each sculpture They are all excellent works of art, but there are so many of them piled together without a unified theme or priority, which makes them seem quite uncoordinated. Each sculpture is engraved with the name of the donor, most of whom are princes and nobles. .And most of the themes of these sculptures are only in line with Jerry's appreciation taste. Enleco and Kate are also not interested in them.
Walking along the streets of high-end residential areas, from time to time you can see one or two beautifully decorated hotels or cafes, with two or three fashionably dressed customers sitting there to rest. If Enleco hadn't been full of food, If it was delicious food, he also wanted to sit inside and taste the local food.
Turning out of the high-end residential area, in front of you is Vedsk's most famous commercial street, with various shops opening on both sides of the street. Enleco and Jerry are quite interested in these things, but Kate doesn't like to go shopping. Originally, he wanted to pull the two businessmen away from this noisy place, but Jerry replied, "If you don't like shopping, you can go back to the camp by yourself first." This sentence made Kate obediently follow them. Kate really But I really don't dare to face the terrifying Princess alone.
Because it is located in the center of various countries, the Kingdom of Kaoqi has products from all over the world. There are many that even the well-informed Jerry does not recognize. Jerry is most interested in those products from the East. From Montita in the East He often couldn't put it down for the exquisite porcelain and gorgeous silks from the Kingdom. And he also secretly bought a bottle of Calonda's perfume. When Enleco and Kate took a look at the price of that perfume, they were stunned. That To them, it was an astronomical figure. After walking out of the store, Jerry even kept saying that this bottle of perfume was quite cheap.
In this commercial street filled with all kinds of goods, there are also items that satisfy Kate. In an antique store, Kate found two stiletto swords produced in the Principality of Salamos. Since Salamos is located in the northwest, The Principality of Moss is surrounded by mountains, and its mineral resources are also the richest among all countries. A special metal called "cloud gold" is produced there. As long as a little bit of this metal is added to ordinary steel, it can be greatly improved. The hardness and flexibility of the finished product. However, because the production of this metal is very small, weapons made of this metal are difficult to find. Unexpectedly, Kate met her there. Kate took out all the money, Finally, with Jerry's help, he bought one of the stiletto swords. Seeing how Kate loved this sword as much as her life, Jerry really couldn't understand why it was necessary to spend such a high price for such a weapon. ? .
Since there was a big harvest this time, Kate was equally excited to accompany Jerry and Enleco to the store in the following period.
Vedsk's commercial streets are connected together in patches, separated from each other by a central square.
Some of these commercial streets sell a variety of things, and some only sell the same type of goods in the entire street. Although some commercial streets sell everything, the things they buy are obviously not affordable for ordinary people.
And those are the places Jerry and Kate like to go the most.
After Enleco followed him through several high-end commercial streets that were almost the same, he suggested that they go to their favorite places separately. Jerry and Kate, who were in high spirits, naturally walked together. Enleco asked Jerry before leaving. Rui borrowed twenty gold coins.
Walking through those commercial streets, Enleco walked towards the places he liked. Compared to those high-end shopping malls with splendid golden walls, Enleco preferred those small markets located in quiet alleys, where various kinds of goods were displayed. The stalls with small commodities worth one or two copper dollars and the small furnishings made of bamboo and wood attracted him deeply. Going from one alley to another, Enleco seemed to have returned to his hometown, but it was much better than his hometown of Sevi. Na is much more prosperous. Although these streets belong to the lowest-grade building complex in the entire Vedsk, they are still much more beautiful than most buildings in most cities. The residential buildings on both sides are all multi-story. It is rare to see single-story houses. There is a small square between two or three streets. Such a square reminds Enleco of the square in his hometown again and again. Many people gather in these squares. , these places are not only natural teahouses, but also simple stages. Various buskers perform here, and various small vendors decorate the place like a festival celebration. In the center of these squares in Vedsk There will also be one or two statues. Although these statues have no artistic value, people will try their best to decorate these statues, such as planting flowers around the statues, or tying two ribbons on the statues. .After such decoration, those simple statues show a bold vitality, which is a warm feeling that those precious works of art displayed in large squares will never have.
Enleco likes it here because he knows that the people living here must be like the neighbors in his hometown. They are people who really know how to live and how to enjoy life. The people living in this environment are far more beautiful than the four streets. Those outside who live in splendor and splendor are more carefree, more harmonious and warm.
Enleco walked through a quiet street and saw a small wine shop called "Forest Fairy" at the other end of the street.
The name of the wine and the style of the signboard deeply attracted Enleco, because there was a wine with the same name and the same style of signboard in his hometown of Severna. Enleco was too familiar with that wine. The boss of the wine is an uncle named Todd. This Uncle Todd is quite kind and is a good friend of Enleco’s teacher Victor. In his hometown, Uncle Todd is the only one who doesn’t care about Victor’s debt. Uncle Todd's "Forest Goblin" wine is also the place where Teacher Victor often frequents. Victor will get drunk there almost every day. Whenever the sun goes down, Enleco will go to the wine to drag the teacher away. Back to the laboratory. Every time he went there, Uncle Todd would always treat Enleko to a delicious meal. Sometimes it was a plate of fried sausages, sometimes it was two pieces of creamy potato pancakes. The most impressive thing about Enleko was when he was ten years old. On his second birthday, Uncle Todd treated him to a cake. This was the first time in his life that he tasted such a high-end dessert. The feeling of happiness that day is still deeply imprinted in Enleco’s memory. No I thought that in a foreign country thousands of miles away, there was an identical "Forest Fairy" wine.
Pushing open the lattice door made of thin copper bars, a loud and noisy sound came oncoming. Enleco stood in front of the foyer for a while before he slowly got used to it.
It is the same as the "Forest Elf" wine in my hometown. The entire wine is divided into two parts, the front and back, and there is a row of high stools in front of the counter. People who love drinking like to choose a seat there, which is convenient for asking the boss for wine without being disturbed by others. There are several rows of high-backed seats and long wooden tables facing each other against the surrounding walls. The people sitting there are chatting enthusiastically with each other. There are also one or two tables of people playing cards there, and these people are always surrounded by people. A bunch of people. Enleco knew there must be gambling there.
When Enleco walked into the wine, everyone stopped, raised their heads and stared at Enleco.
Enleco felt uncomfortable being stared at by so many eyes, so he quickly found a seat next to a flower pot and sat down. This place was quite quiet and in a corner, with no one to disturb him at all. The biggest advantage was that the pot of flowers in front of him blocked those eyes. Follow closely.
Enleko sat down and looked around. Every glance made him feel so familiar. The bronze lamp on the top was shining with half-dark dim light like the bronze lamp in the wine in his hometown. There were decorations all around. Exactly the same lacquerware, the same tables and chairs, the same counter, the same wine rack and the same ale barrel placed on the right side of the counter. This ale is the only wine Enleco has ever drunk, and it is also Enleco's An alcoholic beverage that Enleco's father allowed to drink appropriately. This kind of wine has a slight bitterness, and the strength of the wine is very small, so it is not easy to get drunk. Enleco's father rarely drinks, and even if he drinks, he only drinks this Growing ale. On festival days, Enleco's father would take Enleco to Uncle Todd's to drink two glasses of ale. Everything was so familiar, and the only difference might be the people who came. Often the waiter, in his hometown of Severna, Uncle Todd was the only one who took care of the wine. From the boss to the bartender, he even served the wine and collected the money. But here, all the comings and goings are busy. The waiters are all young and beautiful girls, so this place can be regarded as a veritable "forest fairy".
While he was sitting there dumbfounded, a beautiful wine girl came over.
"Excuse me, sir, what do you want?" the wine girl asked.
Only then did Enleco think about ordering something since he came in. Originally, he just wanted to ask the lady to give him a glass of the only ale he had ever drunk, but after thinking about it, he was too embarrassed to just order these. Cheap drinks that are not worth a copper dollar. .
So, Enleco stayed there and thought for a long time, and finally stammered: "I, I, no, not quite."
Listening to Enleco's completely unintelligible words, a big man in the distance said loudly: "Miss, don't worry about that noble man, they will drink your wine."
Only then did Enleco realize that he was still wearing the royal dress specially customized to meet His Majesty. This outfit was indeed quite incongruous with the environment here.
Turning around, I saw, as expected, a confused look on the face of the wine girl.
"No, no, no, I have never drank alcohol," Enleco explained quickly.
"Hahaha, it turns out that he is still a young aristocratic young man." Hearing Enleco's answer, the people around him burst into laughter.
"Hey, noble young master, you should go back and drink milk. Wine is not what people like you should drink."
"Yes, I heard that every noble young master has two or three wet nurses. You should go back to find your wet nurses now. This is where our men stay."
All kinds of strange words were heard all around. Enleco wanted to stand up and escape from this place immediately.
The beautiful young lady in front of me smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter if you have never drank wine before. I suggest you drink some fruit wine. This kind of wine can quench your thirst and moisturize your throat, and it is not easy to get drunk."
After saying this, the lady smiled at Enleco again, then turned around and raised her voice to the noisy drinkers and said: "In our place, everyone who comes in is the same guest. If any guest If you hurt other guests, we will never welcome such guests here."
The wine girl's words silenced the people around her.
Enleco said "Thank you" to the young lady with great gratitude.
The lady smiled slightly at Enleco again, then turned and left.
After a long time, the lady came over with a glass of red-colored drink exuding a fruity fragrance.
When she gently placed the drink on the table in front of Enleco, Enleco quickly took out a gold coin and placed it in front of the young lady.
Looking at the gold coin, the lady smiled and said: "Sir, this gold coin can buy a whole barrel of this fruit wine."
"But I only have gold coins," Enleco said in a panic.
"Haha, the noble young master is showing off his wealth," the big man who liked to mock others shouted loudly again.
The lady turned around and glared in that direction, only to hear the big man muttering in a low voice: "Those nobles just like to show off their extravagance. I'm not wrong."
The wine girl completely ignored the big man who kept mumbling, and faced Enleco and said: "Sir, it doesn't matter if you don't have change. Just write down the account here. If you bring change next time, it's not too late to pay again." .”
"Aren't you worried that I won't come here next time?" Enleco asked curiously.
"Haha, this kid doesn't know that this is the specialty of this "Forest Fairy" wine," another unknown person shouted loudly.
"Yes, you can get drinks on credit here," the lady explained.
"Then you will definitely lose a lot of money," Enleco said with a smile.
"Fart, we are not that shameless, unlike nobles like you," the big man shouted and cursed, while rushing in front of Dawn Lecco.
"Sir" the lady took a step forward and blocked the big man: "I just said..."
Before the wine girl finished speaking, Enleco quickly stood up and said, "Miss, it was my fault just now. I shouldn't have said these offensive words. I apologize to this gentleman here."
Enleco bowed to the big man. All this made the big man very embarrassed. The man didn't know how to answer for a moment, and didn't want to lose. He muttered without knowing what he was saying. He turned around and returned to his seat.
Seeing that nothing happened, Enleco smiled at the young lady with the same ease and said: "I should have guessed that every "Forest Fairy" wine shop is like this."
This sentence caused laughter from all around. The big man stood up, pointed at Enleco and said with a smile: "It would be great if there was a second "Forest Fairy" wine shop. I travel all over the country and never I have never heard of another "Forest Fairy" liquor store, and I have also never heard of any other liquor store operating like this."
The young lady also smiled and said: "Indeed, this is the only one that sells "Forest Fairy" wine."
"No, there is also a "Forest Fairy" wine shop in my hometown. Everything is exactly the same as here," Enleco said doubtfully.
"Boy, tell me where your hometown is. Maybe it's a place I've never been to," the big man said with a smile.
"Severna, my hometown is called Severna, a small town next to Xina City, the second largest city in the Kingdom of Sophie." Enleco replied.
The big man was obviously confused by this answer. He had traveled to many places, but he had never heard of Severna.
"Oh──, it turns out that you are a member of the envoy from the Kingdom of Sophie who is visiting this time. That's no wonder. Indeed, there is also a "Forest Fairy" wine shop in the Kingdom of Sophie. I didn't expect you to come from there. It's really What a coincidence," the lady explained.
Apparently the lady became enthusiastic about Enleco because of this incident. She asked many times how Uncle Todd in Severna was doing and whether Severna still had as many travelers every year as before. When Enleco told her that his father was the owner of the grocery store in Severna, the lady happily said that she knew Enleco's father. The year before last, she had gone to Severna to visit Uncle Todd. He was replenishing supplies in the grocery store. It was just that he had not seen Enleco at that time. Enleco counted the time and found that he was practicing magic with Teacher Victor at that time.
Suddenly the lady stopped and said with a smile: "Wait a moment, I will make arrangements first and then come over to have a good chat with you. Don't go away."
After saying that, the lady stood up, took two steps towards the counter, turned back to Enleco, smiled and said:
"Don't ever go away." .
The lady walked into the counter, walked through a small door behind the counter, walked down some stairs, and opened a secret door.
As the secret door flipped, the lady walked into the airtight dark room next door. In the darkness, the lady skillfully touched a rope, and she gently pulled it twice. After a while, with a series of footsteps, a slender middle-aged man walked in.
"What's the matter?" the man asked.
"Go and check on a man named Enleco. He is a member of the Sophien Kingdom's envoy. Judging from his attire, his status should be high. This matter is very urgent. Go quickly. I will wait here. Your news." the lady ordered.
The young lady suddenly remembered something and ordered again: "Also, you should contact the team leader immediately and tell him that this Enleco is from Severna of the Kingdom of Sophie. He actually knows Todd from the Kingdom of Sophie. Please tell the team leader how to deal with this Enleko."
"Yes" the middle-aged man agreed, turned around and walked out quickly.
The lady was left standing there alone in the darkness. Above her head, in the noisy wine, another person was sitting equally lonely.
Since the young lady left, Enleco seemed to have lost something for a while, sitting blankly in that dark corner.
Enleco, who was completely bored, picked up the drink in front of him and took a sip slowly. A strong fruity fragrance mixed with the mellow taste of wine spread on the tip of his tongue. The wine tasted mellow but not strong. Drinking it The mouth is indeed quite moist. Enleco drank wine while listening to what the people around him said. This was the only way he could pass the time now.
Maybe it was because he walked into the wine dressed in aristocratic attire, or maybe it was because the people next to him knew that he was from Sophie. All the topics were centered on political issues that people rarely discuss, and indeed for ordinary people, It is said that politics is so out of reach that they neither need nor can have any influence on politics.
Just listen to the big man shouting there: "Hey, the Sophien Kingdom envoy is here. Hey, it seems that there is really going to be a war."
"How did you know there was going to be a war?" the person opposite him asked.
"Who is like you? He has never been out of Vedsk. The great nobles in the foreign vassals are stepping up their military training, and the taxes in various places have also been doubled. Isn't this a war?" said the big man.
"However, it seems that you can't see it in the capital." Another person said.
"Some people say it's because Mr. Kobe Leo and our Emperor don't want to fight," an old man's voice sounded.
"What's the use of them not wanting to fight? The prime minister wants to fight, the nobles in the city want to fight, the big nobles in the foreign vassals want to fight, the big bosses want to fight," said the big man.
"Yes, they can get new land and property if they fight a war. Only by fighting the big nobles can they be promoted and make a fortune. Only by fighting the big bosses can they get cheaper goods," the old man said.
Someone nearby immediately agreed with this view and said: "You are right, the nobles in the city want to be promoted, the nobles in the outer vassal want to take power, the business leaders want to get rich, what else can we ordinary people think about?"
A sharp voice said: "Don't even think about anything. You just want to be your soldier, pay your taxes, pay your food, get promoted and make a fortune? Don't even think about it."
"Yes, not to mention the millions of troops in foreign vassals, even if there are hundreds of thousands of troops stationed near our capital Vedsk, even if we conquer one or two countries, the things we rob will not be enough for them to share." The old man and That person had the same opinion.
"You don't understand. People will die in a war. It depends on who is more lucky. The person who survives to the end will have his share of the things stolen." The big man said.
"Then, what's the point of fighting? Can't I just stay far back and let others rush forward?" asked another person.
"You brother must have never fought in a war. When fighting, there are military orders. If you want to be lazy and afraid of death, you don't have to wait for the enemy to kill you. The team will kill you. The military orders of our Kingdom of Kaoqi are not ordinary. You're strict, don't look at those nobles with high ambitions, everyone is equal before military orders, those nobles have to fight with their lives if they want to be promoted and make a fortune." The big man explained.
Now everyone's interest was aroused. First of all, the old man asked: "From what your brother said, it seems that your brother is also a soldier."
The big man replied proudly: "Who says it's not the case? I am a noble knight."
"Yes, yes, your brother is a knight and you are here to hang out. Which knight is like you?" The sharp voice immediately shouted at the big man.
"I used to be a knight, so that's okay." After the big man cursed a lot, he said nothing more. He lowered his head and drank by himself.
The originally bustling wine scene suddenly became deserted. Only the sounds of glasses clinking together and the sound of pouring wine could be heard. No one spoke or made noise anymore. It seemed that the discussion just now had exhausted all the topics. After talking, these people could no longer find any topic to discuss. The wine was quiet.
This atmosphere was obviously unbearable for many people sitting there, and soon some people began to talk about it, but the people next to them were not interested in these topics at all, and no one else talked about it.
"If a war really breaks out, do you think we will win?" Finally, someone raised a topic that interested everyone.
"Of course we will win, how could we lose? Our Kingdom of Kaoqi has the most powerful army in the world." I don't know who said this.
The big man snorted suddenly and said: "What's the use of the strongest army? Once the war starts, all countries will definitely unite to deal with us. Can one country compete with the entire world?"
The man who spoke with a sharp voice was obviously a patriot. He immediately said excitedly: "Are you still a knight? We not only have the strongest army but also the strongest magician. Lord Kobe Leo's forbidden magic is Invincible in all battles and invincible in all attacks."
"Hey, have you heard of a thing that is spreading outside now? This time in the Qisla Valley, our great mage Kobe Leo once used a forbidden spell to completely eliminate those desert bandits, but he was The escort magician of the Sophie Kingdom envoy was blocked. I heard that the destructive power of the two magic collisions completely destroyed the entire Mercalus Fortress." After saying this, the big man picked up the wine glass and drank. He took a big mouthful and continued: "We have magicians, but others also have magicians. Sophie's Kingdom is a famous magic kingdom. There may be other powerful magicians. What kind of forbidden spells do we rely on to fight the war? How can we win?" .
The big man's words obviously made many people around him unwilling to listen. Someone immediately stood up and asked, "Are you telling a lie? I absolutely don't believe that anyone can break the forbidden spell of Lord Kobe Leo."
The big man jumped up as soon as he heard this. He was about to curse, but was stopped by the words of the old man next to him.
The old man said: "My friend, since you don't know the truth, you can't randomly suspect others of lying. Little old man, I don't know what's going on, but I have indeed heard about Mercalus. The fortress has been destroyed, and it was indeed destroyed by a magical confrontation."
After hearing what the old man said, the guy who just made the argument stopped saying anything. Everyone turned their attention to Enleco, hoping to get further answers from this member of the Sophie Kingdom envoy.
Now Enleco was worried. He couldn't say that he was the magician with enough power to fight against the great wizard Kobe Leo. It was he who broke the forbidden spell of the great wizard Kobe Leo. From then on, It can be heard from the words of those people just now that the great wizard Kobe Leo has a very high prestige in the Kingdom of Kaoqi and has almost become the idol of the entire nation. If he dares to blaspheme this national idol, it will be very difficult for him to do so. It might be torn into pieces by angry people, but I didn't want to cause such trouble.
Thinking of this, Enleco quickly shied away and said: "I belong to the leading team of the mission, and I don't know the details? I have been in Vedsk for more than half a month, and I just met the mission headquarters today. My news may It’s not as clear as what you know.”
Hearing what Enleco said, everyone around him was quite disappointed, but no one doubted what Enleco said.
People who couldn't get accurate answers turned their heads and continued to find other topics to discuss among themselves. The gamblers went back to betting on their cards. The wine suddenly returned to the way it was before Enleco came in, as if It was as if the heated discussion just now never happened.
※※※
Enleco sat alone in that corner, thinking carefully about the discussion just now. From this heated discussion, Enleco could clearly see that the people of Kaoqi did not want to fight at all, and even Even the man who claimed to be a knight was unwilling to participate in such a war that had little to do with their vital interests.
However, Enleco was not very sure whether the knight's views were universal. However, from the discussions of those people, he could clearly feel a strong sense of national pride, which was similar to that of the Great Demon. It is related to the endless personal charm of the guide Kobe Leo. On the other hand, the Kingdom of Kaoqi is indeed a country that advocates force. Every citizen is extremely excited about the strength of their country. In contrast, the Kingdom of Sophie, my motherland , everyone is focused on their own lives, and no one has ever cared about any national affairs. The task of protecting the country seems to have completely become the responsibility of the army. Compared with the Kaoqi Kingdom, the Sophien Kingdom is relatively free and open. Relatively equal. There is not much opposition between civilians and nobles. In Enleco's memory, most nobles are not annoying, and some are even very amiable and well-educated. Enleco has always respected such people. Nobles, of course, there are some people among the nobility who are quite annoying. Those nobles are very ambitious and arrogant, but many big businessmen are also like this. This does not seem to have much to do with the status of the nobility. If we want to talk about bullying the common people, , deliberately mistreating civilians, Enleco could only remember one such nobleman, and that was his teacher, Her Royal Highness Princess Chrissy. However, this Princess, Her Royal Highness, can only be said to be a special case among the nobles.
When he thinks of this witch princess, Enleco doesn't dare to think about it anymore. This princess has already become Enleco's nightmare. Whenever he thinks of this teacher, Enleco trembles all over and his heart trembles. .In his mind, the status of the god of Hades, Lactos Kranis and the Demon King was far inferior to that of his witch teacher, Conesalius.
Enleco, who had nothing to do, slowly sipped the glass of sweet juice with a slightly alcoholic taste in front of him.
In the dark cellar three meters below Enleco's feet, the wine lady was waiting anxiously. She was really worried that Enleco would not have the patience to wait any longer. The guy who was inquiring about the information was too slow. It's been two hours, but there's still no movement. For this intelligence network that has been in operation for decades, it doesn't take much effort to find out about such a trivial matter. Could it be that during the inquiry, that guy was discovered and killed? Either he was exposed, or something happened to the team leader, and he couldn't be contacted for the moment.
Just when she was thinking wildly, the door to the cellar opened. With a series of footsteps, the wine lady could clearly feel that more than one person was walking down. Now she was a little suspicious. This place was too late. To its secret contact point, unless there are special circumstances, only the middle-aged man who left just now can come. That guy has absolutely no right to let anyone else in without authorization.
Faced with this completely uncertain situation, the wine lady shrank and hid behind a row of cupboards.
When those people arrived at the bottom of the cellar, one of them lit up a lighting magic, and she raised the lighting ball in her hand high.
The wine lady couldn't adapt to this sudden light. She closed her eyes tightly and it took a while before she opened them.
"Monisha, are you here?" the person opposite asked.
Hearing this voice, the wine lady felt relieved and walked out from behind the cupboard.
"Miss Xiling, why did you come to a place like this?" Monisha asked.
Before the little girl named Xi Ling could speak, the middle-aged man beside her said eagerly: "Monisha, is that Enleco still here?"
"How do I know? It's been such a long time. I can't go up and down all the time. Moreover, according to regulations, other people cannot come down from this basement. By the way, look at this posture, that Enleco is absolutely He is not a simple person, have you found out who he is?" Monisha asked.
Regarding this question, Miss Xiling rushed to answer: "Mo Nisha, you will never imagine that if that guy is not a fake, he is probably the "Doomsday Catastrophe" ban against the great wizard Kobe Leo. The magician from the Kingdom of Sophie who cursed me.”
"No, that person looks like a child who has not yet reached adulthood. Can he be so strong?" Monisha asked blankly.
"I can't answer this question for you. Anyway, this guy is here now. Can't we just ask him directly?" said the lady who lit up the lighting magic.
"Fianna, do you want to ask him directly? If it is such an important matter, there is no way he can tell you." Monisha denied.
"Would I be so stupid to ask questions directly? Even if that person doesn't suspect, others will also become suspicious, so we'll still use the old method." Fianna said.
"The old method? It's impossible. If that guy can really break the forbidden spell of the great wizard Kobe Leo, your old method will probably not have any effect." Monisha said worriedly.
"Don't worry, this time we have the help of my junior sister. The three of us will use magic together. In addition, the junior sister has brought Master's artifact "Eye of the Soul". As long as you can arrange a clever trap, we will definitely be able to hide the ghosts."
I think we have the information we need, and maybe we can take this opportunity to arrange for someone to infiltrate the Sophien Kingdom envoy," Fianna said.
"It's not difficult to arrange a trap. Enleco is very simple and easy to deceive. What's more, he's not very good at drinking. As long as you add some hallucinogens to the wine, you can definitely make him lie down. Even if you don't use hallucinogens,
I am also sure that I can get him drunk with wine alone. But, who will control his spirit? Since he has the strength to fight against the great wizard Kobe Leo, even if he does not rely on magic power, his mental power will still be able to do it.
It is quite powerful, who is sure that he can completely control such a powerful mental power?" Monisha asked.
Miss Xiling said happily: "Don't worry, I will take action personally this time. In fact, there is no need to forcefully resist his mental power. We only need to guide his spirit to make him hallucinate. In the dream, we can
Knowing everything, by manipulating his memory, we can also create some illusions to let him serve us."
"Illusion? What illusion can allow him to serve us? It seems that I have never heard of any kind of magic that can effectively control a sane person." Monisha asked in confusion.
"Conscience, as long as we make that guy think that he has committed an unforgivable sin, his conscience will make him serve us. Even if this guy has no conscience, we can still use the falsehood in his memory to blackmail him and make him
Submit," Fianna said.
"What kind of unforgivable sin? What kind of strategy are you planning to use?" Monisha felt more and more mysterious about these two people.
Fianna and Miss Xi Ling looked at each other, one on the left and the other on the right at the same time posing in a seductive pose with protruding buttocks and raised breasts, and said with a mysterious smile: "Of course it's a beauty trap."
Monisha had a headache looking at these two playful and charming girls. These two people can be regarded as real fairies, the kind of fairies who can make people fascinated and not even know how they will die, the kind that can make people fascinated.
The kind of goblin that people are willing to sell their souls. The kind of goblin that eats people without spitting out their bones or even dropping any scum. The most terrifying thing is that these two goblins like to make trouble. Monisha secretly prayed in her heart that these two love
Trouble-making little goblin, please don't cause any big trouble.
"I'll go up and stabilize him first, and you go to the guest room at the back to prepare. If you want anything, just tell Linda and the others," Monisha said.
"Which two empty guest rooms are connected together? You always have to tell us first." Miss Xiling asked.
"Hey, there are two separate connected guest rooms on the third floor at the corner next to the kitchen. They have always been empty. Linda will naturally take you there. As long as you tidy up, it is the most ideal place to start.
"Monisha replied.
"Next to the kitchen? You, you, you don't usually deal with those guys who provide you with information there. It's so close to the kitchen so that you can deal with...it's also more convenient, right? Senior Sister Monisha." Fianna was surprised.
Have to ask.
Monisha spat when she heard this and said: "Nonsense, I just made that place as far away from other guest rooms as possible, and the sound insulation of the place close to the kitchen is much better than other places."
"Oh──you can do anything without disturbing other people, right?" Miss Xiling asked.
"I see, that's a good place to kill people and silence them. Otherwise, why did you make that place so secretive?" Fianna still believed that her original view was correct.
"Okay, okay, stop making trouble and start taking action." After Monisha said that, she turned around and walked out of the dark cellar. While climbing up the stairs, she was secretly lost in thought. She didn't expect that after so many years, Those two rooms are going to be put to such a use again. Think about it, back then, I wasn't just like these two little guys who liked to play pranks and liked to do these nonsense. At that time, I was not a forest fairy who was exactly the same as the name. What? If it weren't for that time, I would probably still be messing around with these two goblins. I hope that they don't steal other people's hearts and lose their own at the same time. As long as they don't steal other people's hearts like me. When she thought of the person who caused her pain and haunted her, who also stole her heart and stole her heart, she felt a stabbing pain in her heart. It was the pain of spiritual loss. Ordinary people would feel this pain. It's called the pain of lovesickness, the pain of falling in love.
The noisy sound in the wine brought Monisha back to reality. Now she could no longer think about that person. She had a mission, a heavy mission. When she first accepted that mission, she had already decided Abandoning her life's happiness, abandoning her family, abandoning relatives and friends, abandoning life, and at the same time abandoning love. But at that time, she never thought that abandoning love would be so painful. But for that mission, she still had to abandon what she shouldn't have. Love, let that love be buried deep in the bottomless abyss of her heart forever from now on. Monisha shook her head vigorously, driving all the chaotic thoughts out of her mind.
After walking out of the counter, she once again glanced at Enleco who was sitting there quietly. Looking at the shy and innocent little boy in front of her, Monisha could not associate him with the powerful magician. The little boy in front of me is exactly the same as the little brother in his hometown. He is almost the same age, almost naive and ignorant of the dangers of the world, and has almost the same innocent feelings. For this young man who is so similar to his brother, there is nothing wrong with him. Nisha really didn't want to harm him. However, for her mission, she had to take advantage of the innocent young man in front of her. Her heart was trembling again. Invisible trembling, silent. Trembling.
Seeing Monisha coming out, Enleco waved happily. A bright smile appeared on his face. It was a smile from the heart, it was the smile of meeting an old friend in a foreign land, and it was the most sincere smile. .
This smile deeply hurt Monisha's heart. Monisha originally thought that since she buried that affection deep in her heart, she had become a hard-hearted person and would never do anything for anyone else. I felt guilty about something, but now it seems that is obviously not the case.
"Hi, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting." Monisha walked up to Enleco and said.
"No, no, not soon." Enleco seemed to be unable to speak again.
"By the way, you won't object if I buy you a drink?" Monisha asked.
"Well, I'm not very good at drinking." Enleco didn't know how to answer. To be honest, he really didn't like alcohol, but he never knew how to reject a girl.
"It doesn't matter, that kind of wine is not very strong. What's more, if you are really drunk, there is a room here where you can have a good sleep. I will ask someone to take good care of you, but I don't think you will be so bad. , you will get drunk after just one glass of wine, right?" Monisha is obviously experienced and knows how to speak so that others cannot refuse.
Sure enough, as a man, a proud man, a man who didn't want to be looked down upon by beautiful women, and a man who didn't know whether to live or die, Enleco voluntarily stretched his neck into this carefully crafted trap without any hesitation.
"Okay, one drink, I think if you only have one drink, I think it should be fine." Enleco said ungratefully.
Monisha smiled, stood up and walked towards the counter. She was amused as she walked. She was really a simple young man who didn’t know anything. He didn’t know how to doubt others or be wary of others. With the two little goblins leading him, Monisha smiled. With the effect of hallucinogens, even an elephant will be drunk with a glass of wine, let alone a human being. When he wakes up early tomorrow morning, I'm afraid he will never be able to escape from the hands of those two little goblins. Well, this can only be blamed on his bad luck. He fell into this wine by mistake. This can also be regarded as a profound lesson for him.
