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 and face the raging Princess. They are fully aware of Her Princess's stormy temperament. What's more, Kate and Jerry are still afraid that they will receive the same treatment as Enleco when they go back like this. If they are also forced to accept the so-called special bridal training, it will be the most tragic thing in life. Now Enleco has already carried it. This is the biggest stain in life. Two young people with a bright future do not want to ruin their bright future. Among them, 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 deserves to be called the center of the world, and its prosperity is unmatched by other countries. Even a prosperous big city like Sophien pales in comparison to Vedsk.
In Vedsk, there are seven palaces arranged in sequence on the city's center line. And these palace complexes are only a small part of Vedsk. The entire Vedsk can be said to be composed of countless squares. There are squares in front and behind every palace complex. 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. of square.
Each of these squares displays a large number of statues. Those large squares can be said to be exhibitions of various sculptures, and although those medium-sized squares do not have so many statues, the sculptures displayed there are better than those displayed in terms of subject matter and artistic value. The statues in the main square are even better. Even in the smallest squares, a relatively common statue of the Earth Goddess is placed in the middle. But those are cheap items made from ordinary stones.
Enleco and the others walked through squares one after another, admiring various sculptures. Because everyone is in a different environment, everyone has completely different tastes in sculptures. For example, Kate, who prefers those expressions Hero-themed statues, and those statues were almost all made of bronze. Jerry had no interest in these greasy, black things. He was only interested in statues of angels, forest nymphs, shepherdesses and sheep, and he especially admired the works carved in white marble. And Enleco is neither as full of hero worship as Kate, nor as full of leisurely appreciation as Jerry. He is only slightly 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 Triumphal Avenue 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 Arc de Triomphe also attracts their attention. Coupled with the white marble floor, even a picky person like Jerry is 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 plane trees. Countless carriages come and go on the road. The carriages here are not only large in number, but also in various styles. The shapes and decorations of many carriages are completely designed to show off. Kate and Enleco are not very interested in these, except Jerry. The people watching beside me couldn't take their eyes away, and they were amazed from time to time. I was really envious. In these high-end residential areas, you can see a medium-sized square every two to three hundred meters. The environmental layout of these squares is quite good, but unfortunately the layout is quite unreasonable, with many sculptures randomly placed there. Although each sculpture is an extremely outstanding work of art, so many of them are piled together without a unified theme or priority, which seems quite uncoordinated. Each sculpture is engraved with the name of the donor, most of whom are princes and nobles. Most of the themes of these sculptures only suit Jerry's taste. Enleco and Kate were equally uninterested.
Walking along the streets of high-end residential areas, you can occasionally see one or two beautifully decorated hotels or cafes, with two or three fashionably dressed customers sitting there to rest. If Enleco wasn't full of delicious food, he would also like 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 on both sides of the street. Enleco and Jerry were very interested in these things, but Kate didn't like going to stores. Originally, he wanted to drag the two businessmen away from this noisy place, but Jerry replied, "If you don't like going to stores, you can Go back to the camp first." These words made Kate obediently follow them. Kate really didn't dare to face the terrible princess alone.
Due to its location in the center of various countries, the Kingdom of Kaochi has goods from all over the world. There were many that even the well-informed Jerry didn’t recognize. Jerry was most interested in goods from the East. He often fell in love with the exquisite porcelain and gorgeous silks from the Eastern Kingdom of Montita. And he also secretly bought a bottle of Karonda's perfume. When Enleco and Kate took a look at the price of that perfume, they were stunned. That's an astronomical figure for them. 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 by the Principality of Salamos. Since Salamus 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. Hardness and flexibility of the finished product. However, since the production of this metal is extremely small, weapons made of this metal are difficult to find. Unexpectedly, Kate met him there. Kate spent all her money and finally bought one of the slender swords with Jerry's help. Seeing how Kate loved this sword as much as her life, Jerry really couldn't understand, is it necessary to pay such a high price for such a weapon
Since there was a big gain this time, Kate was equally excited to accompany Jerry and Enleco to the store during the next period.
Vedsk's commercial streets are connected in patches, separated from each other by a central square.
Some of these commercial streets sell a wide variety of goods, while some only sell the same type of goods throughout the street. There are also some commercial streets that sell everything, but the things they buy are obviously not affordable for ordinary people.
And Jerry and Kate liked to go to those places 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 selling small commodities worth one or two copper dollars were deeply attracted to him by the small furnishings made of bamboo and wood. Going from one alley to another, Enleco seemed to have returned to his hometown, but it was much more prosperous than his hometown of Severna. Although these streets are among the lowest-grade buildings in all of Vedsk, they are still much more beautiful than most buildings in most cities. The residential houses on both sides are all multi-storey, and single-storey houses are rarely seen. There is such a small square between two or three streets. This 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. There will also be one or two statues in the center of these squares in Vedsk. Although these statues have no artistic value, people will try their best to decorate these statues, such as planting flowers around the statues, or adding flowers to the statues. Those statues were tied with two colorful ribbons. After such decoration, those simple statues show a proud vitality, which is a warm feeling that the 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 the same as the neighbors in his hometown. They are people who really know how to live and how to enjoy life. People living in this environment are far more carefree, harmonious and warm than those living in splendor and splendor four streets away.
Enleco walked through a quiet street and saw a small bar called "Forest Goblin" at the other end of the street.
The name of the bar and the style of the signboard deeply attracted Enleco, because there was a bar with the same name and the same style of signboard in his hometown of Severna. Enleco was too familiar with that bar. The bar owner is an uncle named Todd. This Uncle Todd is a very kind man and is a good friend of Enleco's teacher Victor. Uncle Todd is the only person in his hometown who doesn't care about Victor's debt. Uncle Todd's "Forest Goblin" bar 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 bar and drag the teacher back to the experiment. room. Every time he went there, Uncle Todd would always treat Enleko to a delicious meal, sometimes a plate of fried sausages, sometimes two pieces of cream potato pancakes. The most impressive thing for Enleko was on his twelfth birthday That day, Uncle Todd treated him to a cake. This was the first time in his life that he tasted this high-end dessert. The feeling of happiness that day is still deeply imprinted in Enleco's memory. I never expected that there would be an identical "Forest Goblin" bar in a foreign country thousands of miles away.
Pushing open the mesh 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.
Same as the "Forest Goblin" bar back home. The entire bar is divided into two parts, front and back, with a row of high stools in front of the counter. People who love drinking like to pick a seat there so that they can easily ask the boss for a drink without being disturbed by others. There are several rows of high-backed seats and long wooden tables lined up against the surrounding walls. The people sitting there were talking animatedly to each other. There were also one or two tables of people playing cards there, and these people were always surrounded by a bunch of people. Enleco knew there was definitely gambling going on there.
When Enleco walked into the bar, 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 and dim light like the bronze lamp in the bar in his hometown. The surroundings are decorated with identical 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 the alcoholic beverage that Enleco's father allows Enleco to drink appropriately. This kind of wine has a slight bitterness, and the strength of the wine is also very small, so it is not easy to get drunk. Enleco's father rarely drinks, and even if he drinks, he only drinks this kind of ale. On every festival day, Enleco's father would take Enleco to Uncle Todd's bar to drink two glasses of this ale. Everything is so familiar, the only difference may be the waiters coming and going. In Uncle Todd's bar in his hometown of Severna, he is the only one who manages it, from the boss to the bartender, and even serves the drinks and collects the money. He did it all by himself, but here, all the busy waiters coming and going are young and beautiful girls, so this place can be regarded as a veritable "forest fairy".
While he was sitting there stunned, a beautiful bar girl came over.
"Excuse me, sir, what do you want?" the bar girl asked.
Only then did Enleco think of ordering something since he came in. Originally, he just wanted to ask the lady to give him a glass of ale, the only ale he had ever drunk, but then he thought about it and felt embarrassed to just order these cheap drinks that were 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 want to drink your wine."
Only then did Enleco think that he was still wearing the royal dress specially customized to meet His Majesty. This outfit is indeed quite inconsistent with the environment here.
Turning around, sure enough, the bar girl had a confused look on her face.
"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 nurse 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 lady in front of me smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter if you have never drank wine. 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 back 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 definitely don’t welcome such guests here.”
The bar 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 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 bar 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 keep an 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, this is the specialty of this "Forest Fairy" bar," another unknown person shouted loudly.
"Yes, we can drink 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 bar girl could finish 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 in the same relaxed manner and said, "I should have guessed that it seems like every "Forest Fairy" bar 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 Goblin" bar. I have traveled all over the country and never I haven’t heard of another Woodland Goblin pub, and I’ve also never heard of any other pub operating like this.”
The lady also smiled and said: "Indeed, there is only one "Forest Fairy" bar."
"No, there is also a "Forest Goblin" bar 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 haven't been to before," 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 the 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. That's no wonder. There is indeed a "Forest Goblin" bar 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 young 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. Replenishing supplies at that grocery store. It's just that he hadn't seen Enleco at that time. Enleco counted the time. During that time, he was practicing magic with Teacher Victor.
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 a dark room next door with airtight walls. 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 young lady was left standing alone in the darkness. Another man sat equally lonely in the noisy bar above her.
Since the young lady left, Enleco seemed to have lost something for a while, sitting blankly in that dark corner.
Enleco, who was extremely bored, picked up the drink in front of him and took a slow sip. A rich fruity fragrance mixed with the mellow taste of wine spread on the tip of his tongue. The wine tastes mellow but not overpowering, and it is indeed quite moist in the mouth. Enleco was drinking wine while listening to what the people around him were saying. This was the only way he could pass the time now.
Maybe it was because he walked into the bar dressed in aristocratic attire, or maybe it was because the people next to him knew that he was from Sophie. All the topics revolve around political issues that people rarely discuss. Indeed, politics is so out of reach for ordinary people. 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 big 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 it can't be seen 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," the big man said.
"Yes, they can get new land and property after fighting. 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 The man agreed.
"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 the high-minded nobles, 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 in his mouth, he said nothing more. He lowered his head and drank by himself.
The originally bustling bar suddenly became deserted. Only the sound of glasses clinking 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 that, these people could no longer find any topic to discuss. It was quiet inside the bar.
This atmosphere was obviously unbearable for many people sitting there, and soon some people started looking for some topics to talk about, but the people next to them were not interested in these topics at all, and no one else talked about it.
"If there really is a war, do you think we will win?" Finally, someone raised a topic that interested everyone.
"Of course we will win, how can 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 fiercely 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 sip 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, "What are you telling me, brother, it's not 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 the 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 could not say that he was the magician with enough power to fight against the great wizard Koby Leo, and it was he who broke the forbidden spell of the great wizard Koby Leo. It can be heard from the words of those people just now that it is obvious that the great wizard Kobe Leo has a very high prestige in the Kaoqi Kingdom and has almost become the idol of the entire nation. If he dared to blaspheme this national idol, he would probably be torn into pieces by angry people, and he did not 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. The gamblers went back to betting on their cards. The bar suddenly returned to the way it was before Enleco came in, as if the heated discussion just now had never happened at all.
※※※
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, one can clearly feel a strong sense of national pride. On the one hand, this is related to the infinite personal charm of the great wizard Kobe Leo. On the other hand, the Kaoqi Kingdom It is indeed a country that advocates force, and every citizen is extremely excited about the prosperity of their country. Looking back at his own homeland, the Kingdom of Sophie, everyone is focused on their own lives. 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 Kingdom of Kaoqi, the Kingdom of Sophie is freer, more open and more 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 nobles, of course. There are also some people among the nobles who are quite annoying. Those nobles are high-minded and arrogant, but many big businessmen are also like this. This does not seem to have much to do with their noble status. If you want to talk about bullying the common people and deliberately mistreating the civilians, Enleco only remembers that there is only one such nobleman, and that is his teacher, Her Royal Highness Princess Chrissy. However, this eldest princess 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, Laktos Kranis, and the demon king Nizarius was far inferior to that of his witch teacher.
Enleco, who had nothing to do, slowly sipped the glass of sweet and slightly alcoholic juice in front of him.
In the dark cellar three meters below Enleco's feet, the bar 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 full hours, but there's still no movement. For this intelligence network that has been in operation for decades, it does not take much effort to inquire about such a trivial matter. Could it be that during the investigation, the guy was discovered and exposed, or there was an accident with the team leader, and he was unable to do anything for a while. connect.
Just as she was thinking wildly, the door to the cellar opened. With a series of footsteps, the bar lady could clearly feel that more than one person was walking down. Now she was a little suspicious. This place was a secret contact point. Unless there were special circumstances, only the middle-aged man who left just now could come. That guy had absolutely no right to let anyone else in without permission.
Faced with this completely uncertain situation, the bar 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 bar girl couldn't adapt to the sudden light. She closed her eyes tightly and it took a while before she opened them.
"Monisha, are you here?" the person opposite asked.
The bar lady was relieved when she heard this voice, and she turned 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 way, 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 thing, 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. We will 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 won't have any effect." Monisha said worriedly.
"Don't worry. This time, with 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 don’t think we got the information we need, and maybe we can take this opportunity to arrange for someone to infiltrate the Sophien Kingdom’s envoy,” Fianna said.
"It's not difficult to arrange a trap. That Enleco is very simple and easy to deceive. What's more, he is not very good at drinking. As long as you add some narcotics to the wine, you can definitely make him lie down. Even without narcotics, 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 control him. 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 will You can know everything, and by manipulating his memory, you can also create some illusions to let him serve us."
"False? What kind of falsehood 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 also 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. They secretly smiled and said: "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. People are willing to sell their souls to goblins. The kind of goblin that eats people without spitting out bones or even leaving a single crumb. The scariest thing is that these two goblins like to look for trouble. Monisha secretly prayed in her heart that these two trouble-loving goblins would never cause any big trouble.
"I'll go up and stabilize him first, and you go to the guest room at the back to get ready. 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 don't usually deal with the guys who provide you with information there, do you? It's so close to the kitchen so you can deal with...it's more convenient, right? Senior Sister Monisha." Fianna was surprised and suspicious. asked.
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, is that 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. As she climbed up the stairs, she was secretly lost in thought. She didn't expect that so many years had passed. , those two rooms are going to be used like this again. Think about it, back then, I wasn't like these two little guys who liked to play pranks, and liked to do these nonsense. At that time, I was not a forest worthy of the name. Where are the goblins? If it weren't for that time, I would probably still be messing around with these two goblins. I hope they don't steal other people's hearts and lose their own at the same time like me. As long as she thinks of the person who caused her pain and haunted her, who also stole her heart and stole her heart, she felt a sting in her heart. It was the pain of spiritual loss. Ordinary people would This is called the pain of lovesickness, the pain of falling in love.
The noisy sound in the bar 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 imagined that abandoning love would be so painful. But for that mission, she still had to abandon the love she shouldn't have, and let that love forever be buried in the bottomless abyss of her heart. 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 her is exactly the same as the little brother in her 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 her brother, Moni Sha really didn't want to harm him. However, for her mission, she must take advantage of the innocent young man in front of her, and take advantage of this young man's innocence. Her heart was shaking again. Invisible trembling, silent trembling.
Seeing Monisha coming out, Enleco waved happily. A huge smile appeared on his face. That is a smile from the heart, that is the smile of meeting an old friend in a foreign land, that is 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 feel guilty for anything else, 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, right?" 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 so you can have a good sleep. I will ask someone to take good care of you. However, 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 man with a sense of pride, a man who doesn't want to be looked down upon by beautiful women, a man who doesn't know whether to live or die. Without any hesitation, Enleco voluntarily stretched his neck into this carefully crafted trap.
"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. Due to the effectiveness of the drug, a glass of wine will make even an elephant drunk, let alone a human being. When he wakes up early tomorrow morning, I'm afraid he will never be able to escape from the clutches of those two goblins. This can only be attributed to his bad luck, and he ended up in this bar by accident. This can also be regarded as a profound lesson for him.
