rose nursery rhyme

After putting on the cloak completely, Xi Di looked at Bryce again.

Brice was very considerate, knowing that it would take him a while to get used to the existence of his new companion, so he didn't rush to do anything, and took a step back consciously: "I'll wait for you outside the garden."

Xidi was awkward, no matter how uncomfortable he was, she simply didn't reply, and waved her hand twice casually, signaling him to leave quickly.

Bruce smiled and turned to leave.

He didn't seem at all worried that Sheedy would go back on his word, or pretend it didn't happen and just sneak out the side door.

Sidi really didn't want to do that.

A good boy will not break his promise if he promises to others.

Feeling more at ease without Bryce around, wrapped in his cloak, he strolled forward until he came to a beautiful carved wooden door.

There is only one room on the top floor of the castle.

Not even the lord himself lived on this floor.The view here is the best, and the windows are the largest. Looking out from the windows, you can just see the rose garden in the distance.

Allowing the youngest daughter to live in such a beautiful place may be a way for the lord to love her... Unfortunately, she doesn't seem to think so.

Sidi: "Is anyone there?"

He didn't come to kill people this time, so he acted very well. He knocked on the door twice and waited patiently outside the door for a while.

No one answered him.

But there were people in the room, and he could hear them.

Sheedy was a polite boy who wouldn't break into a girl's room without permission.So he knocked a little harder, and asked, "Is anyone there? May I come in?"

"...Please come in, the door is unlocked."

The people in the room finally spoke, and the voice was that of a young girl.

Now that permission had been obtained, Sidi pushed the door open.

The rooms are beautifully furnished.

The windows were indeed large, taking up almost half of the wall, but the heavy curtains were tightly drawn, blocking the view from the windows.

The light in the room is dim, there are obviously many lighting facilities, but none of them have been activated, only a faint light seeps in from outside the curtains, outlining the figure sitting in front of the dressing table inside the door.

She is the lord's youngest daughter, her name is Amicia, which has the same name as a rose.

When Sidi came in, she was combing her curly long red hair. She put down the comb and stared at the boy's figure in the mirror: "Good day, Your Excellency."

Her voice was very calm, as if she didn't notice that the boy in the cloak who suddenly appeared was holding a human head in his hand.

"Good day." Xidi didn't enter the room, but stood at the door and looked inside curiously, "Are you the lord's daughter?"

"I am." Miss Amicia stood up from the dressing table, her prom dress dragged the floor, looking gentle and beautiful, "What do you want from me?"

Xi Di asked bluntly: "You transferred the guards in the castle?"

"It's me." Miss Amicia took two steps towards the door, but she didn't get too close to Xidi, "How do you know?"

The task posters on the bounty list are completely anonymous, and no one should know...

It was the lord's daughter who was hiring someone to assassinate her father.

Sidi: "I guess."

Miss Amicia: "..."

Hearing this answer, her expression became a little subtle for a moment.

However, this is not the point of Xi Di coming here, so he just said it casually and quickly skipped this topic.

"They all said that the lord's little daughter is pretty, but I haven't seen you yet." Sidi puffed up her cheeks a little childishly, raised Lord Astrolo's head and shook it twice in mid-air, her movements were terrific. Be careful not to stain the beautiful white carpet in the girl's room, "And, I think, you should also want to meet this thing."

—'This thing' refers to the head of the girl's own father.

Miss Amicia looked at the lord's head without changing her expression, she didn't comment on it, she just chuckled and asked Xi Di with interest: "Then you've finished watching it now, how do you feel about me?"

"It's okay." Xidi shrugged, "Not as good as my... so what, companion."

'companion'.

This word has almost never appeared in Xidi's life, and when it was his turn to use it, he double-checked it to make sure he didn't mispronounce it.

Amicia: "..."

She didn't expect to get such an answer, and the smile on her face froze slightly.

Xidi didn't care, he was just telling the truth, and after he finished speaking, he asked again: "Then you have seen the head of the lord now, what are you going to do, keep it as a souvenir?"

Anyway, this is the employer. As long as you show her something, the task will be considered complete, and Xidi can go directly to collect the reward, and there is no need to run around with it.

"No."

After all, she is the one who can send out bounty tasks and hire someone to kill her own father. Miss Amicia quickly adjusted her mood.She waved her hand, didn't look at the man's head again, and said lightly: "It's just some dirty things, you can deal with it as you like."

He added: "Throw it away, I don't want to see him again."

Xi Di looked at her expression a little curiously: "Don't you feel scared?"

The stranger who broke into her room, covered in blood, was holding her father's head - even if she had issued this mission herself, she shouldn't have been so calm.

"What are you afraid of?" Miss Amicia's tone was relaxed, without any nervousness, "The lunatic who can take on this kind of task is either short of money or wants fame. I am an ordinary delicate young lady, and I am also a patron. , what good will it do you to kill me?"

"Let's talk about it." She smiled again, "You can even kill the lord, if you really want to kill me, am I afraid it will be useful?"

Xi Di thought about it carefully, nodded in agreement and said, "Yes."

"Then." Amicia raised her chin slightly, and said with a noble manner, "I am the sole heir of the lord, this... sir, if you are lucky enough to meet again next time, I hope you can salute me."

She didn't know Sheedy's name yet, but Amicia was a smart girl, just the right amount of daring, and Sheedy loved talking to people like that.

So he really bowed to the girl, his arms were raised in front of his chest in an unruly manner, the wide sleeves of his cloak were dangling, and the wording was as if he had learned it specially: "Salute to you, respected lady lord."

"I wish you a speedy fulfillment."

The girl didn't care about the disrespect in Xidi's address anymore, she nodded gracefully: "Thank you for your blessing, when you leave, remember to close the door for me."

****

Sidi passed the rose garden silently and swiftly.

The timed magic circle has taken effect, and those things that have not seen the sun for a long time have been completely lifted out, the white bones are hung with rose branches, and the black eye sockets are filled with mud.

The expensive harp was cut in half by the explosion.

The garden was filled with screams and cries, just as he had imagined.

The guests rushed to get out of the rose garden, but there was only one door in the garden, and it was so small and narrow that it could only let a girl in a big skirt pass through.

No one wants to lag behind the others, so they are all crowded at the door now, but no one can get out.

Some of the guards tried to maintain order, while the other part finally found the body of the lord in the castle, running back and forth in panic, basically no one commanded, it was a mess.

Sidi took a look as she passed by, and threw the lord's head into the rose garden. It just landed on a girl's puffed skirt, causing even more chaos.

Brace was actually standing outside the rose garden waiting for him.

He didn't know where to get another cloak, and put it on his body. Obviously, he was at the entrance of the rose garden, but no one noticed him, as if his existence was hidden.

Xidi came to him: "Let's go."

This kind of thing has never happened in the castle. The guards didn't have time to react, and they didn't have time to start martial law. It's just the right time to leave now.

Brace: "Did you see her?"

Sidi: "Yeah."

Bruce: "How do you feel?"

Xidi glanced at him: "She doesn't look as good as you."

There was a little smile in Brice's voice: "Miss Amicia will be sad if you say that."

"It was." Xidi didn't stop when she spoke, and the two walked towards the side door of the castle. On the way, they passed the canaries running out in all directions, and the chief guard in a hurry.

No one noticed the presence of the two of them.

Brice asked again: "Then you plan to set off towards the abyss now?"

Siddie: "Hmmm..."

Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by the hem of the overly long cloak, and he stepped on it, almost tripping over it.

No matter how flexible your skills are, you can't do anything with clothes that don't fit.

"Don't worry." Xidi lifted up the cloak like she was holding her skirt, exposing her calves, and said with a frown, "I'm going to collect the bounty first, and then buy some clothes... What do you think I'm doing?" ?”

"It's okay." Bruce looked away naturally.

Xidi tilted her head and looked at him for a while, then came to a conclusion: "You are really a strange person."

****

The bounty list is spread all over the continent.

The manager is unknown, and the maker is also unknown. It seems that it has been running since the beginning of the mainland, and now it has become a common secret among bounty hunters.

The positions of the bounty lists in various places are different, but they are all very secretive. Only those who know their existence can find them along with various clues.

The bounty list closest to the castle is in the forest outside the city, hidden behind the swamp, it is an inconspicuous wooden sign.

There is a circle of mushrooms growing under the wooden sign, with a bright red canopy and white spots, which looks poisonous.

The mushrooms form a perfect circle.

Xidi stepped forward, looked at the task at the top of the bounty list, and reached out to touch it.

The task was written on paper, and when he touched it, the paper shattered into many golden pieces, which fluttered into the mushroom circle.

Suddenly, a light ignited in the middle of the mushroom circle, and two or three small elves, only as long as fingers, flew out of the halo.

Elves have no gender, they all look the same.They suddenly flapped their transparent thin wings, holding a small fragment in their hands, and sprinkled shiny gold powder behind them, flying around Xidi several times.

Sidi: "Yeah."

It was his first time to complete the bounty mission, and he only knew how to operate it. It was also the first time he had seen these little things, so he was a little curious.So seeing the right moment, he suddenly stretched out his hand to pinch the wing of one of the elves, and held it in front of his eyes for a closer look.

She has long hair and wears bloomers made of petals and leaves. Overall, she looks like a shrunken human being with pointed ears, which is very cute.

It was the first time for the elf to meet such a bold human being. He was so angry that he raised his fist and hammered Sidi's hand.

Xidi turned to Brice and asked, "Can you raise it?"

"I'm afraid it won't work." Bryce had been watching Sidi's movements with interest, then shook his head and said with a smile, "The elves in the elf vault only appear around the mushroom circle, if you take it too far , it will disappear by itself."

"Oh……"

Sidi was disappointed, and regretfully let go of the hand holding the elf's wings.

"I have completed the task." He flicked the fragment in the hand of the angry elf, and said simply, "Give me the money."

Elf:"……"

The elf angrily threw a ring on Xidi's face, and led two companions watching the fun, and headed back to the mushroom ring.

The author says:

Mushroom rings, also known as fairy rings, are mushrooms that grow into a circle. It is said that those who meet it will have good luck~
