The Amber Sword

Chapter 58: Burning city

Views:

Look back to the year of blooming flowers and summer leaves, early in the morning of June 2nd.

With the lead of the bar owner’s daughter, Sue, Freya quickly came to 51 Bonoan Market. She looked out. Even in the early morning, there were still problems in the largest trading market in Ridenburg. Few people lit the brazier far and near, and the bright light made people feel more or less at ease—

She tried to walk, but the girl named Su grabbed her hand: "Don't go, there are people hidden in the alley."

This braided girl stood at the corner of the street at the junction of light and darkness, with one hand resting on the wall, and staring at the outside warily.

"Is it the guard?" Freya was taken aback.

"I don't know, but there are two new faces there. They are definitely not from this city." Su shook his head and replied quietly.

Freya pressed the hilt of the sword to her mouth, and hesitated a little nervously. At this time, most of the people who appeared at the Bonoan Market were soldiers of the Whitemane Legion, and he had expected that those people had found Hood. I just don't know if they will ever meet? Would she go up and knock on the door

The future Valkyrie frowned and suddenly remembered what Brando had told her:

"If you find traces of the army, don't worry, they won't be surprised before you don't know our relationship. They also hope that there will be a chance to kill us all."

Thinking of this, Freya took a breath. She turned back and asked, "Sue, can you answer me some questions?"

"how?"

"I ask you, how do you know how to see that someone is lying?"

The dark-skinned girl smiled: "Because I often help in the bar, do you ask that?"

Freya's face blushed when she was seen through her mind. She really fell in love with Su Yuan's much richer experience and knowledge than herself. In previous conversations with Su, she and everyone naively thought that the nobles would save them, but Su pointed out the essence of things in just one or two sentences.

Therefore, in her heart, this somewhat cold girl is a very sensitive and assertive girl.

"It's okay, I occasionally help others," Su smiled: "Freya, you look at me."

"what?"

"Your friend who said Ridenberg would be breached, what is his name?"

Freya was startled, wondering why the girl in front of her suddenly mentioned this question. She panicked, her eyes flashed: "Bo, Brando."

Su's eyes moved: "You have a good impression of him, right?"

"No, no, Brando, he likes Roman."

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

Freya's face seemed to be on fire, she still dared to look at Su there, her eyes wandering, she wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to start. She felt that she was the number one idiot of Tianzi, or the one without discounts, and for a while she could only wait to find a place to hide in.

"Understood?" Su asked.

"Ming, I understand." Freya lowered her head and nodded vigorously.

She took a breath, grabbed the sword and wanted to go out, but immediately turned around and grabbed Su's arm: "Su, can you wait for me here?"

Su Yi was startled, but still nodded. Freya suddenly felt that she was a little inexplicable, but she always felt that having Su by her side was like Brando, which could give her some confidence.

Then she walked out of the alley, pretending not to care about the glaring gazes around her, and went straight to No. 51 in Bonoa Market. She raised her hand-after hesitating, Freya felt at least two things. Sharp fell on her back, but in the end he knocked it down.

Bang bang bang, the knock on the door seemed to sound in my heart, and Freya waited for a moment before the door opened with a creak. A man with a rickety back appeared behind him, bald, almost indistinguishable from his age, he was visibly stunned when he saw Freya, and his eyes shrank back subconsciously.

"After you find the wool textile merchant named Hood, don't show your identity. Give him a time and ask him to meet us in the bar. You have to pay attention to his reaction, and you know that this person is unreliable."

"Freya, look at me."

Freya caught this subtle change in expression at the first time, and Brando and Su's words were remembered in her heart at the same time, which made her feel cold.

"Who are you, what can I do for you?" The short man asked after a moment of stunned.

Freya was silent for about a second, and she just looked at each other coldly. Then, just when the short man couldn't help but want to back up, he suddenly drew out the sword and placed it on the opponent's neck with a'zi', his eyes sank slightly.

It was said that it was too late, and when the situation on the scene suddenly changed, Su saw that several people on the street moved subconsciously. But they calmed down quickly and returned to the state they had started-the movements between them were very subtle, and only the girl hiding on the corner of the street could see all this.

Freya didn't know what was happening behind her. She just held the sword as calmly as possible, and said in a flat tone: "Are you an accomplice of that witch?"

"Don't kill me, they forced or forced me..., girl... witch?" The short man was so frightened by the sudden change that he sat down on the ground and then reacted to the cold-faced ponytail girl in front of him. What did you ask

At this moment, Freya only thought of what Brando's wizard rebel, the young man named Charles said:

"Your aunt knows a lot. This is a secret among wizards in this world. There is a book called'Dark Epic', which tells what happened in the past countless years..."

"But not necessarily, people who have something to do with magic. Some witches in the country also understand some rumors in this regard."

In fact, she never thought that she could be so strained before she took out the sword, or it should be said that her mind was in an ethereal state. She said coldly: "You should call her'Jenny', forget it... It doesn't matter, I will teach you a lesson first."

She raised the sword as she spoke, and the textile merchant named Hood immediately wailed in fright: "Wait, wait, my lord, I have nothing to do with her... No, it's not okay, I mean I'm not in the same party with her. I mean, she is just a normal relative, no no, distant relative!"

"Oh?"

"Really, really! You believe me, you believe me, she only comes to the city to collect goods occasionally—that witch, yes, witch! She does collect some weird things—right! She lives in Butch, with her niece!"

Freya looked at the man, suppressing disgust in her heart. He lifted him up: "But my informant told me that she entered the city a few days ago. You had better not deceive me. As a wizard, I can extract your memories and memories at any time!"

The little businessman was scared and paralyzed by the sword on his neck. He didn't hear Freya's speech at all: "I said, I said, she had left Ridenburg two days ago and went to the north."

Freya looked at his eyes, and then threw the guy away disgustingly. She took a breath, but heard Su whistling at the corner of the alley. She knew that her big move had attracted the attention of those people. , She must leave here quickly.

But she didn't expect that Aunt Jenny was not here, she went to the north? Braggs to the north, where is she going to do? But it doesn't look like this person is lying.

She gritted her teeth and suddenly hesitated.

The afternoon sun shines in from the arched floor-to-ceiling windows of the castle, making this room, which is decorated in soft colors, bright. A girl in a silver princess dress sits on the edge of a small round table in Rococo style, leaning on a high-back chair in a standard posture, holding a cup of black tea in her slender palm, and holding a silver spoon in the other, motionless. , Her soft pale silver-gray eyes stared at the front-as if listening to the story fascinated.

She has beautiful silver curly hair, and half-pointed ears reveal a fair-skinned tip from the curly hair. She is the most beloved daughter of Obergus VII and the first beauty recognized by Eruin.

If in Brando's era, whether it was a player or an NPC, she was called the Princess Regent, and if anyone in Eruin could compare with the prestige of the Valkyrie, then this is now the princess, who is still a little immature.

"Very clever girl, the real people in Everton's family are outstanding people." After a while, the princess put down the tea cup and asked quietly: "And then, Lord Overwell?"

The cold-faced middle-aged man standing in front of her, if Brando were here, would definitely recognize him. Because this is the'Earl Dunn' who was sealed by his sword. But in fact, in the aristocratic circle of the capital, there are not many but not many people who know the Lord Earl, but he is better known than having a nickname:

'Sir Wolf' Overwell, a close minister next to His Majesty, one of the core leaders of the Royal Party, has a good personal relationship with Everton and Woodrow.

Overwell looked at the princess, knowing that the other party was not simple, but she was the jewel in the palm of his majesty today, and he didn't dare to just perfunctory.

This time he borrowed the name of Dunn from the Lules-Bullman family to go to Ridenburg-because both are masters of appreciation and have a very similar hobby in collecting. Although the appearance is not similar, this is not a big problem in the age of news silencing-he is here to do something for Obergus VII, a secret mission.

Thinking of this, he realized again that the princess was asking himself questions, and woke up: "Naturally, the daughter of the Earl of Everton, seems to be at least as good as her father, but it's a pity..."

He wanted to say that it was a pity that he was a woman, but he suddenly realized that the princess who was known as the crown of the royal family before him hurriedly swallowed the second half sentence against his will.

Of course the girl understood what he wanted to say, but she didn't ask. Just changed the subject and said: "But Lord Earl, I am a little confused about your previous story. You deliberately troubled that young man, it seems to be unnecessary."

It’s weird if you don’t understand it. But he replied respectfully, “I’m just worried about his attempt. By your daughter. Your Royal Highness, you know that the white knights of Karasu and your father are not in the same way—"

"I know, but they have no objection."

"That's it, it doesn't hurt that I want to try him. Anyway, it's just a shadow. Compared to Karasu, I can tell which one is more important than Karasu. It doesn't matter if I try it personally for your majesty's sake." Replied Feverwell.

"I thank you for my father, and beat Master Fwell." The princess thought to herself that father and this guy wanted to work in Karasu province, but could they succeed? She guessed that their attempt was nothing more than out of nothing.

She thought about it, the recommended quota of the Bastar Royal Cavalry Academy may have to be increased. But she wanted to remind something, but after thinking about her identity, she gave up.

In the end, he just said: "Then, Lord Overwell. I want to continue listening to the following story. Before my history class starts, I have about two or three short periods of time to listen to you."

"Of course, as much as you want."
