Chapter Thirty on(1/2)
Ten minutes later, Erica and I arrived at the door of Chris's office.
What happened before was really a false alarm, because Polly told Ruby about her sister, so Ruby directly cured Liz in order to comfort Polly.
What Ruby used was not healing magic, but a special ability that I had never seen before. Even I couldn't analyze the specific process, but the final result was to completely restore Liz's brain to the way it was before the injury.
, even the tiny tentacles remaining in my mind have disappeared.
I asked Ruby how she did it, but she hesitated and couldn't explain clearly. It seemed that this was not her own ability, but maybe some new power given to her by Severna. After all, Severna said
In the future, you can take Ruby with you to fight. This is not something you say casually.
Although Liz has recovered from her physical injuries, the mental aspect is a bit complicated. The mental trauma left when her brain was touched by the tentacles still needs time to heal. But Liz is still a strong guy, and her current
It's in pretty good shape, so I'm full of hope.
"Really... why did you have to call us here at this point... It's better to have something big, otherwise I will demolish this mansion." Erica scratched her stomach and complained with an unhappy look on her face.
, it seemed that the hunger in her belly affected her mood, but I didn't take her words seriously.
"The atmosphere in the house is not quite right. It seems like someone big is coming."
"Fuck the big shot. No matter how big you are, eating is not as important. Even if Severna is hungry, he won't be happy."
"Okay, okay, let's go in." After saying that, I pushed the door open and entered.
Today's Chris is indeed different from usual, because at this moment she is being served by a group of ladies and put on aristocratic formal attire. Although it is a formal dress, it is actually a more solemn dress. The key is to look at the accessories on the dress.
, and although Chris currently does not have any title, she is still the daughter of the Grand Duke and she is currently the agent of Duke Michael, so she naturally wears the duke-level ambassadorial ribbon and medal.
"Wait a moment." When Chris saw us coming in, she quickly told the lady to complete the final steps, and then slowly walked to us.
To say that she walks slowly does not mean that she is careless, but that Chris is walking very carefully now because she does not seem to be used to the high heels under her feet. In fact, I don’t like wearing that kind of thing either. Of course, the high heels in this world are
It is also a product brought by the reincarnated people. Although it is inexplicably sought after by some nobles, it is not easily accepted by everyone. Perhaps the culture here is quite surprising, and many human nobles do not like it so much.
What’s new is that some unique families will even imitate elf culture. Of course, I would only find it funny to see such poor imitation.
The Principality of Michael was born out of the Kingdom of Solis anyway, so some of the etiquette in the principality is still the same as that of the Kingdom of Solis, such as the weird thing that noble women have to wear high heels in formal attire. And if I remember correctly
If so, it seems that the guy who made high heels lived in the Kingdom of Solis, but that was decades ago, and I don’t know if that guy is still alive.
"Diana, Erica. The people from Algasburg are already here."
"How could it be so fast?"
"This... seems to be a coincidence. My messenger met them before they left the principality. It seems that they were planning to come here..."
"You came out on your own initiative?"
"it seems that."
"That's strange. Those guys sneer at the outside world."
"My messenger asked them about this. It seems to be about Baron Ronan."
Chris almost confused me. Although the Baron incident had a great impact, it was also a follow-up issue. The distance from Algasburg to here is not close. They must have gone out before the incident. Is it possible?
They discovered the Baron's problem in advance and wanted to solve it themselves?
"Do you have any specific information?"
"No, but there seem to be a lot of people coming over there, and their leader seems..."
"rigid?"
"No, it's arrogance..."
"Arrogant? It's true that they are a bit arrogant and not friendly to outsiders, but they can't be called arrogant...What happened?"
Chris briefly told me about the contact with the people in Algasburg, but this made me a little strange, because those words were not like what those people could say, so I immediately felt sorry for them.
Questions arose about his identity.
"Are they really from Algasburg?"
"They came over in a floating boat..."
"Airships are not a rare thing. Similar magical vehicles can often be seen in other places besides the seven human kingdoms."
"This... we have never had contact with people from Algasburg before, but they just sent this." Chris walked quickly back to the desk and picked up a scroll, and was planning to come over.
Suddenly, he fell down on the table.
The lady and I quickly went over and subdued her. It seemed that she had lost her balance just now because of the high heels. Although she was not injured, her ankle was still twisted and a little painful.
"Hurry up and find Norma... The messenger team from Algasburg will be entering the city soon. Hurry up." Chris endured the pain and ordered the lady anxiously.
"Miss Michael, Ms. Russell is off today... we don't know where she went." The ladies replied nervously.
"I know……"
After I told her the location of Liz's house, Chris immediately ordered her bodyguard to ride to pick up Russell. It seemed that she was really anxious. I also took the opportunity to pick up the scroll and look at it, and found that it was indeed
Algasburg's common document paper, and it also has the rose flower coat of arms of Algasburg printed on it.
This is not a simple coat of arms. This is somewhat different from the emblem of the library. It is an official mark representing Algasburg. More than 200 years ago, before Algasburg was closed, they issued it to the surviving humans in the surrounding area.
An announcement was made, and the stationery used had a rose flower emblem.
I touched the coat of arms with my hand and could clearly feel the magical power attached to the coat of arms.
"It seems that he is indeed from Algasburg."
"real?"
"Yes, only they can create this unique magic mark."
"But..." Chris was obviously not happy about the other party's true identity.
"I understand. I'll accompany you to meet them later. Although I'm not sure about the other party's attitude, for my sake they shouldn't make it too difficult for you."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome." I turned around and called Erica and said, "You can follow me later."
"What? Is there really a big shot coming?"
"It's not like he's a big shot...I don't know exactly who the other party is."
"Oh, it's okay. I will be your bodyguard. If the other person is a bastard, I will make a hole in his head." Erica reached out and touched the pistol under her arm.
"I really hope you don't need that..."
"This small city... is surprisingly prosperous."
At this time, in the carriage of the welcoming team led by Miles, the young man was happily watching the scenery outside through the window of the carriage.
"Indeed, as a remote border city, it is indeed very good, but... it seems that it has only begun to prosper recently. You can see that the streets are full of construction sites for new houses." The old man sat on the young man's bed.
The person opposite looked at the street scene in the city from the window on the other side and let out a sigh.
"Most of the pedestrians on the street are dressed very appropriately. They don't look like civilians in border cities. Oh, look, that person is wearing elf silk clothes?! This doesn't look like civilians. Could he be a noble?"
The young man looked out the window and said with interest.
"Elven silk is not a rare thing, and there were imitations of it in the human kingdom more than 200 years ago...but...this one looks like the real thing...that's strange."
"Yes, but there is an elf community near the Principality of Michael. Could it be that the locals bought it from there?"
"Buy? I think it's appropriate to grab it." The old man snorted very disdainfully and then sat back on the chair and looked at the window on the other side.
"Not necessarily. Diana told me before that although the principality is not friendly towards the group of elves, there is no open conflict, and there are even occasional small-scale trade exchanges."
"Perhaps the upper echelons of the principality want to maintain friendly relations, but that may not be the case for the people below. Interests will always drive greed in people's hearts. Don't forget why we are here. The rumored baron imprisoned a
Elf women." The old man's displeased expression turned ferocious in an instant, as if he had a very strong hatred for the rumored baron.
"Rumors are just rumors and cannot be taken completely without actual evidence, so we came out to investigate. And since Miss Michael has taken over the city, the Baron's problem has probably been solved. Don't
Forget that Diana is here, she will not let her compatriots suffer that kind of humiliation."
"Huh! I'm taking advantage of that little bastard. If he falls into my hands, I will make sure he can't live without dying!" The old man vented viciously again, and then slowly returned to normal.
"It seems that some very interesting things must have happened here, but unfortunately we seem to have missed this good show. Do you think... is that Mr. Baron still alive?"
"I don't know, but I think even if he is alive, it will never be easy for him with Phyllis's character."
"Well..." The young man's reply was very vague, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
"What's wrong? Am I right? Or do you think Phyllis will let that kind of bastard live?"
"No...I think...it would be more appropriate for you to call her 'Diana'."
"Tsk, that's really troublesome. I just hate this problem with these reincarnated people. Since they have already been reborn, why are they still so obsessed with the names of their previous lives?"
"This varies from person to person. Look, my great-grandfather didn't do this."
"Huh!" After the young man mentioned his ancestors, the old man was inexplicably unhappy, but this displeasure did not cause the young man to be dissatisfied. On the contrary, the young man seemed very happy. After being silent for a while, the old man sighed and said
: "Forget it, I'm getting old and I'm too lazy to argue with your family anymore. Have you figured out how to deal with that Miss Michael?"
"Just do it." The young man patted his satchel and said, "A copy of "Hymn of Tranier" should be enough to turn off that lady."
"You're crazy! How dare you give that book away?!" The old man almost stood up in shock.
