An Elegant Noble's Guide to Vacations
Chapter 12 Closing the book, Liesel looked up at the sky.
The moon had passed its zenith a little, and it was almost time for a shift change, so he got up from his chair.As a result, nothing happened during this period of time. What Liesel did during the night vigil was to add more firewood from time to time to keep the campfire from going out.
He was careful not to make any footsteps, and looked into the half-open door of the carriage.The moonlight shone faintly into the carriage, and two men were lying inside covered with blankets.
"(As expected of two tall people.)" The carriage was originally quite spacious, but now it looks a little cramped, Liesel thought as he knelt down on the floor of the carriage.He moved very carefully, and there was only a slight creaking sound from the planks, but one of the blankets moved with a rustling sound.
"... Has the shift changed?" Jie Er sat up, stretching out his hand to shuffle his hair while looking at Lieser.
The voice that came softly was low and hoarse, maybe it was Jieer's voice just waking up, and it was the first time he heard it.Liesel moved her body closer to him little by little, careful not to let her shoes touch the floor, and leaned her head to look at his face.
"Why did you wake up all of a sudden? Could it be that you were not asleep?" Liesel asked in a low voice in order not to wake Jagi.
In the next second, Jie Er's original blanket fell on his head, presumably to protest his groundless suspicion.Lieser took off the blanket that blocked his view, and moved his body back.
Jie Er also got up and sat at the back of the carriage, stretching his legs out casually.
"I won't sleep soundly outside." "Isn't that kind of sleeping method unable to recover from fatigue?" "It's enough." Liesel also sat in the back of the car like him, taking off his shoes.
Then, he suddenly held Jie Er's hand beside him from above.His body temperature felt a little lower than usual, indicating that he really fell asleep just now.
Jie Er dexterously put on the shoes with one hand, and moved his fingertips lightly.Lieser let go and took out two books.
"Jie Er." "Yeah." Jie Er took the book he handed over, checked the cover, and took it away.
He didn't pay much attention to books, and he didn't care about his preferences, but judging from the types of books he took from Lieser several times, he shouldn't get tired of reading these two books.
At least it would pass the time for him, Lieser thought, yawning slightly, and got into the car.The blanket that Jieer handed over was still warm, and while he was draping the blanket over his shoulders, he moved closer to Jaggie who was sleeping facing the wall.
"(Well, I slept very sweetly.)" Probe to look at his expression, the baby face looked more immature when he fell asleep, and now he is exhaling steadily.
Go to bed early yourself, Lieser lay down.During the night watch, I didn't want to sleep at all, but as soon as I lay down on the mat, I felt drowsy, and it seemed that I was still able to be vigilant.
Lieser covered the blanket to block the moonlight shining into the car, and gently closed his eyes.
The next morning, when it was still daylight, Jaggie woke up.
Looking in the opposite direction of the morning sun, the night sky has not completely dissipated.It was a normal wake-up time for Judge, who woke up early to get ready to open the store.
"(Maybe this is the first time to sleep so soundly outside.)" He propped up his sleepy eyelids and slowly sat up.At this time, the bulging blanket around her came into view.
To the tall Judge, it was a small bump.Lieser's height was by no means short, but compared to Judge, everyone, regardless of gender, probably looked petite, and there was no way around that.
Judge looked at the ball of blankets with a dull mind that had just woken up, and suddenly felt a little curiosity.He leaned over slowly, and stretched out his hand towards the blanket tremblingly.
"It's all right..." He said the excuse that he didn't know who to listen to, and lightly lifted the blanket.
Liesel happened to be sleeping facing him, and that sleeping face was exposed from under the blanket, and Jaggie felt an indescribable touch in his heart.He was usually shy and couldn't get a good look at Liesel, but now it was all right, and Judge stared intently at his sleeping face.
That face can't be called dazzling and beautiful, but the symmetrical and upright face brewed a quiet temperament.Seeing his tightly closed eyes, Jaggie noticed that although the eyes were gentle and steady, they always had a noble color.It was precisely because the color was hidden that he was able to stare at Lieser without any scruples at this moment.
Illustration p205 "(The skin is good...I want to show off to Stad. But, I should be beaten.)" Judge murmured a compliment that was a bit subtle for a man, and slowly stretched out his fingers.
The moment his hand was almost touching that cheek, there was a slight "chi" sound, and the door opened.
"... what are you doing?" Sitting down on the floor, he began to defend inexplicably.
Jieer watched his reaction with interest, and at this moment, Lieser also woke up.What a lively morning.
The lively journey also reached the afternoon of the fourth day, and Lieser and his party finally arrived in the commercial country of Makaede.
Although it is "finally", this speed is already remarkable in terms of a merchant's carriage journey, which originally took five full days.
Now, they're waiting in line to get into town.
Should it be said that this place really deserves to be called a commercial country?Goods and people gathered from all over the world, and the front of the city gate was full of carriages and travelers, which was very lively.
The city entry review is not too strict, but it seems to take some time.
"Rhinoceros fruit juice, please refer to it, one copper coin per bottle!" "Guests who need to leave the carriage, please go to the Clayton Trusteeship on the right hand side after entering the city! It is on your right hand side after entering the city gate!" "Beside the queue of carriages, peddlers selling goods and businessmen who advertise come and go.They haven't entered the city yet, and the business spirit of the people here is really strong. Liesel smiled and listened to the hustle and bustle around him.
By the way, the back door of the carriage was still open, and they happened to be staring at the coachman behind them.Liesel waved at him jokingly, and the coachman looked terribly confused.
"Brother Liser, Brother Jieer, we are almost at the gate of the city." "Well, adventurers only need to show their guild card, the conditions are very loose." "It's unreasonable if there is no crowd in the commercial country." "Pay attention Law and order still pursues development, and it’s hard to find a balance.” The standards for entering the city are loose, and although it’s easy for spies from other countries to take advantage of the opportunity to investigate, on the other hand, crowds, goods, and intelligence also gather here.
For those who do business, this place is like a holy place. In fact, almost all the queues waiting to enter the city are carriages owned by merchants.
This type of city must be led by a chief who has excellent political balance ability and is worthy of the trust of many businessmen. The lord here is naturally no exception, but the situation of this city is a bit special.
"I heard that he is the only ruler who was born as a commoner." "You are disgusted with this kind of person?" "No, all outstanding talents are welcome, but I would like to take the initiative to invite them." Lisse Er was born in a noble family, but his views are very open-minded. After hearing this, Jie Er deeply understood.
Regardless of Stadt or Judge, the people Liesel took the initiative to get close to can be said to be outstanding people.According to Lieser's claim, this is because outstanding young people are really likable, Jieer thought to himself, the king he once taught might also belong to what he called "excellent young people".
"However, he didn't become a lord in this generation, did he?" "Ah, yes. When the commercial country was still called a commercial city, now the grandfather of the lord was conferred the title." "It seems that at that time The lord adopted that grandfather as his adopted son?" "You actually knew." "It's written in the book." Before the previous lord jumped to the position of ruler, he was originally just a businessman.
Within a generation he had become a wealthy merchant, well-liked among merchants, and well versed in all trades and trades.Sometimes he would inject huge sums of money into cities to straighten out roads and revitalize transportation.
It is said that the prosperous development of the commercial city and the reputation of "commercial country" are almost all due to his great achievements.
"The lord at that time really didn't have face." "In terms of the strength of his speech, he must have been stronger than the lord at that time." However, he always respected the lord at that time, and the lord was very grateful when he saw that he had given him face when he took office. Relief, this is the most fortunate thing.
"Because of this, the lord will adopt him as an adopted son. There will inevitably be various opinions around, but this must be the most peaceful way." In this way, the lord appointed him as the next lord.
At that time, the lord had no children, and he never regretted his decision. The previous lord, who had been politely declining, also expressed his sincere gratitude and accepted the lord's kindness.
In order to repay this kindness, the previous lord tried his best to rule Markade.During the following three generations, the unremitting efforts of the successive lords brought about the prosperity of the present commercial country.Speaking of the rapid development of this city, there is indeed something worthy of admiration.
"It is still deeply trusted by the businessman, which means that he is very good as a lord and a businessman." I heard that he will pay attention to promising business transactions, and sometimes invest in them." "It's really not easy." Liesel expressed his admiration bluntly.Of course, the same goes for investment and the like, but the most admirable thing is that even the astonishing number of business licenses are fully managed.
It is the dream of all businessmen to own their own storefront in the commercial country and become rich successfully.Handling all related business in person will increase the representative's workload. I have to admire the lord for completing these tasks every day.
"I'm really worried about when I go back." "You mean accumulated work?" Jie Er understood the meaning correctly, Lieser smiled at him, and decided not to think about it now.
"Ah, so it's because of busyness..." "Jaji?" "I heard that the lord will never show his face in front of people now, and no one has seen his face." The point of not showing up in front of people , looked very unusual in Lieser's eyes.
Regardless of good or bad aside for the time being, it is inevitable for nobles to attract attention.If, as a nobleman, no one has seen his face at all, it must be the result of deliberate concealment.That being the case, his reason for doing so is... .
Jieer looked at Lissel who was lost in thought with displeasure, then turned his head to spy on the situation outside.
"Hey, we'll be next." "Ah, okay." Unexpectedly, it would be their turn so soon. Jagi, who was sitting on the driver's seat, showed his special pass, and Lieser and Jieer showed their adventurer's pass. the guild card of the owner.
The guard was taken aback when he saw Jie Er's card, and he was also well-known here.Then when he saw Lieser's guild card, the guard was full of surprise. He looked back and forth between Lieser and the card desperately, and froze for a while after realizing that he was an adventurer.
"Just tell you not to keep making people freeze like this." "Just say it's not my fault." Amidst the jokes between the two, a group of people passed smoothly in front of the recovered guard.
As soon as they entered the city gate, Liser and Jieer got out of the carriage immediately, because Jagi was going directly to his grandfather's house.Although he also invited the two to spend the night together at home, Liesel and the others did not want to disturb Jaggy's relationship with his family, so they declined his kindness.
Seeing Jia Ji's regretful expression, Jie Er felt sorry for his grandfather.If he knew that his doting grandson prioritized his reluctance to leave Liesel before meeting him, I don't know what he would think.
"Well, Brother Liser, where are you staying..." "We will start looking for it later. Jieer also said that if you are not picky, you will definitely find a vacant room." "Well, there are plenty of hotels anyway." " No... no!" After spending four days together, Jaggy got used to Lieser and the others a little, and now he can express his opinions.However, Jiaji's attitude was still very polite, and he rarely heard his objections, and the two couldn't help shutting their mouths when they heard it.
"Let Brother Lieser live in a cheap hotel...how can...I can't accept it!" "What kind of image do I have in his mind?" "Isn't it just what it looks like on the surface." His face was livid.
The two heard him muttering: The bed is so hard, the quality of the food is so poor... This kind of wording is completely rude to Jagi, and it seems that he really doesn't want to see this kind of thing happen.Although insisting on providing services suitable for customers, there is nothing wrong from a businessman's point of view.
Having a good impression is also a problem, Liesel smiled wryly.
"It doesn't matter, I don't mind." "I...I mind very much." "Then we will try our best to pick a hotel." "However, if there are no other rooms available, the two of you will still spend the night at a cheap place...!" Facing Jagi, who finally stopped them with a tearful attack, Lieser succumbed, while Jieer felt hopeless.
After recommending a few hotels, Judge handed them a card just in case they were rejected.This is an introduction card, with Jaggie's name and the name of the chamber of commerce he belongs to written on it, which is a very important proof for a merchant.
This card is quite effective in commercial countries, as long as you show it, you can get maximum accommodation in most hotels.
"Is it okay to hand over such an important thing to us?" "Yes, please accept it!" Jagi smiled softly with tears in his eyes.Lieser accepted the card with gratitude, after all, the kindness itself was very gratifying.
"Why can't you hold back that guy?" "Seeing that kind of eyes crying and begging for mercy, there is really no way to refuse." He felt that if he continued to refuse, he would be desperate to death.
Lieser looked down at the card.The name of the chamber of commerce recorded above is the chamber of commerce of Jagi’s grandfather, and the location of the chamber of commerce is also roughly marked.
"Then, we'll pick you up at this place in three days." "Absolutely... You must never accept the guard commissions of other carriages, come back with me!" With that, the invitations entrusted by the guards will definitely come like snowflakes.After he finished speaking desperately, he led the carriage and left.
Liesel waved his hand slightly, watched Jaggie leave, and then looked around again.
"It's so crowded." "Let me just say it, it's noisy and chaotic." This place is clearly the gate of the city, but vendors and hawkers are gathering here, and the originally spacious space is full of businessmen.All the streets are lined with shops, and even the narrow alleys are lined with hawkers.Looking up, countless banners and posters for publicity are hung all over the street.
This is a veritable city of merchants, with a large number of tourists and residents, the streets are bustling with people everywhere.
"In short, let's find a place to stay. Jagi also recommended a few hotels." The two walked side by side as usual.
They walked straight ahead on the street, but they were in the turbulent crowd, giving people the illusion that there was a wall of people in front of them.How does everyone move forward in this situation?Lieser thought to himself, following Jieer's footsteps who walked into the crowd without paying attention.
"Ah, I'm sorry." "Oh, I'm sorry." "Well, Jie Er, wait..." "...you go behind." Seeing Lieser being pushed by the crowd and making it difficult for him to move, Jie Er grabbed his arm, Lead him behind him.After all, Lieser had no experience of acting in crowds, so it was only natural that such a thing would happen.
After Lieser obediently walked behind Jie Er, the pace of progress was unbelievably smooth.Apart from the fact that the people around him would avoid the vicious-looking Jieer, it must be because he knows how to walk among the crowd.
"After we find the hotel, let's take a stroll." "Okay, anyway, don't you want to eat outside?" "Well, Jagi said, in front..." The dizzying vendors caught Lieser's attention from time to time , just walked for a few minutes.At this time, Jieer kept facing forward, suddenly stretched out his arm towards him, and grabbed his waist with his backhand, and Lieser also took a step sideways.
Before Liesel had time to think about what was going on, he heard someone passing by beside him startled.He turned his head, but he couldn't tell who it was among the vast crowd.
"...was taken as prey?" "Probably." It seems that it is a specialty that will definitely appear in the crowd, pickpocket.Lieser looks noble, and in their eyes, he must be an excellent fat sheep.
"You actually have a way to find out." "You can tell by looking." "Jie Er, sometimes you live by feeling." The two of them chatted and turned from the street into the alley.The main street is still bustling after nightfall. For the sake of travelers who want to sleep peacefully at night, some hostels are set up deep in the alleys.Because they can overlook the lights on the street at night, I heard that tourists often choose hotels on the outside, but the two are the ones who pay more attention to the quality of sleep.
Passing a vendor lined up with ore on blankets, Liesel and Jieer climbed the stairs at the corner of the alley and arrived at the hotel recommended by Judge.
They moved into a room for two and sat down for a while to rest.
"Stay for three nights, it's not too long or too short." "Jie Er, is there anything you want to do?" "No." "Have you been to Markaide before? The guards were also surprised to see you." "Just Let’s hear it, I haven’t stayed here for long.” Jie Er has been to the commercial country several times for commissions.There is also an adventurer's guild here, but he never used Markade as a base for a long stay, and the noisy atmosphere here was not to his liking.
Even so, it still became a topic of conversation in the streets and alleys, because it only took Jieer a month to conquer all the mazes around Markade.
But I don't think this is information that Liesel cares about, so I won't take the initiative to bring it up.
"What about you?" "Anyway, I want to see the famous scenic spots first. Ah, but is there nothing new for you?" "No, I haven't been here anyway." "Then let's do this After a leisurely rest, the two planned to take a stroll around while the sky was still bright, so they walked out of the hotel.
"Bastard! Damn it, I'm going to kill you! I'll definitely kill you!" A man roared in front of everyone, holding a sword in one hand, waving it from time to time as if declaring his anger.
The location was in the middle of the well-known "stall square" in the commercial country. Among the crowded crowds, only the men made room for a circle around them.
The crowd watching the excitement cast curious eyes.Why did things become like this?Lieser thought, wryly smiling at the center of the commotion.
After walking out of the hostel and visiting various shops, Liesel couldn't help but admire the scene that came into view at the end.
In front of the lord's mansion, there is a square of considerable size.The whole square is full of vendors, ranging from street stalls to mobile stalls, selling all kinds of goods, from food and snacks to weapons and armor, and all kinds of groceries. There are countless shops, and it is claimed that there is nothing that cannot be bought here.
There is a fountain in the depths of the square. In this maze-like jungle of vendors, only the brightly colored stone tiles are exposed around the fountain.
Behind the fountain, there is a wide and long staircase leading to the official residence.People sat on the steps and ate light snacks bought at the stalls.
"I'm almost hungry." "Should I have dinner early today?"Today's lunch time is also early, and it's almost time to start looking for a restaurant, Lieser thought while looking up at the mansion in the distance.
Among the people who went in and out, some looked like administrative personnel, and there were also businessmen. The administrative agency may also be attached to the official residence.Under such circumstances, the lord still has a way to hide his appearance, and Lieser was thinking casually.
At this time, Jie Er suddenly turned around and stood on Lieser's other side, drew his sword and bounced off the attacking blade.
"Jie Er?" "Let's cool down on the layman's side." Passers-by screamed and fled, the man roared angrily, Jie Er raised his unsheathed sword and stood in front of Lieser.
Lieser surveyed his surroundings roughly, waiting for the crowd to move away from them.He looked at the man from behind Jie Er, the man's eyes twisted, and he stared at him with hatred.
Taking it for granted, Liesel couldn't figure it out.
"Did you recognize the wrong person?" Liesel asked with a gentle smile.His gentle voice usually calms the listener's emotions, but this time it inflamed the other party's anger.
"How...how can I admit my mistake...!" "This is the first time we met." "Nonsense, a bastard like you! Of course there is no need to remember someone like me!" He heard the man's voice hiss and roar , The crowd of onlookers was in a commotion, and took another step back.
Jie Er glanced over for a moment, and Lieser shook his head lightly, implying that he should not cut him.
Considering the surrounding situation, it is better to solve the problem as soon as possible, but at least he wants to ask the other party's reason for attacking.
"Then let me ask you, did I do anything to you indirectly?" "What else do you dare to ask...!" The man's eyes were bloodshot, and he was about to grit his teeth in anger. His appearance was terrifying, but Lieser Unmoved by his smile, he tilted his head slightly as if urging him to answer.
Presumably because Lieser looked down on him, the man clenched the hilt of his sword and took a step forward.Jie Er quietly stood still, but his sharp eyes did not let go of this movement, and the shadow of the sword in his hand suddenly flashed.
"If you dare to step over, you will die." The flags on the side of the road fell down, like a boundary line in the middle of the two sides.
It seems that although the man lost his mind, he still noticed that Jie Er's deep voice was not joking.He stopped, as if nailed to the spot, and stared at Liesel with eyes full of hatred.
"It's you, the damn bastard who ruined my shop!" "Me?" "It's you! Damn commoner, what kind of ruler does Xiao want to be!" Wrong person.
"You..." "It's just that I am force majeure." The familiar dialogue was repeated for countless times, and even Lieser felt a little angry.
Jie Er reminded him that he had worked so hard in every aspect.The person involved, Jieer, actually felt that it was unnecessary, "Anyway, others will get used to it after a long time", it really hurt people, but Lieser didn't know it.He smiled wryly at the man.
"Let me clarify, you got the wrong person." "Fuck you! Who else is a nobleman wandering on the street except you, a bastard! See if I don't kill you!" The object of communication is thankful and insensitive.What should we do, he moved his eyes while thinking, and looked around quietly.
"I still advocate that you have identified the wrong person, but do you know why this kind of thing happened to your shop?" Then, Lieser chose to delay the conversation.Jieer looked at him inquiringly.
"Isn't it you bastard! Closed my shop!" "The reason for closing the shop?" Liesel asked calmly, and he didn't look like a person whose life was being threatened.
The reason why he stayed one step behind Jie Er was not because he was afraid of the man in front of him, but just for the convenience of Jie Er's protection.
It is this kind of attitude that is easy to be misunderstood, and Jie Er has given up speaking.
"Stop talking nonsense...!" "Is it something hard to talk about?" "Isn't it you who are so stupid... just for such a small matter!" Do you still want to open a store in this city?" From the information revealed in the man's words, Lieser guessed that this was probably the case.
This is the city of merchants, and it is full of businessmen everywhere.Especially here is the vendor's square, many hawkers who set up stalls are watching the troublemaker from a distance.
After hearing Lieser's words, they understood the crime of the man. He must have committed a major violation and was ordered to close the store by the lord.The merchants trusted their lord and never questioned his decisions.
"It's not good to resent the lord after making mistakes first." Lieser smiled slightly, and the surrounding voices echoed in unison.
Every time there was an angry curse, the man's wide-open eyes became a little more embarrassed, and he hurriedly looked around.He wholeheartedly believed that everything was wrong with the lord to keep his self-esteem, and the crowd's accusations took away this self-esteem bit by bit.
But a man who shirks all responsibility and blames it on his lord is unlikely to be comfortable with his faults.
"Look at that! No, no, no! It's all the fault of that bastard!" If this goes on, it's not hard to imagine the scene where the man's behavior is out of control and endangering the crowd.Facing the man who was waving his sword indiscriminately, Liesel spoke to him leisurely without haste.
"Abiding by the rules is the same thing as earning credit." He stared at the man and said in a persuasive tone.
"You are not suitable for business." Just like this, he forced the man's spearhead against the masses to turn to himself.
The man let out a frenzied roar and rushed over, he must have lost sight of anything other than Lieser.Jie Er uninterestedly raised his sword to meet him.
"We have to get out of here immediately, please don't hurt him." "Trouble is dead." There was a staggering sound in the response, Jie Er only flicked away the sword waving in the man's hand, and grabbed him while the man lost his balance The lapel fell to the ground.
Jie Er stepped on his back, looked at Lieser, and found that he was no longer looking at this place, but at the crowd of onlookers, staring straight at a certain point.
"Hello." Just as the crowd cheered loudly and talked excitedly, the figure of the military police appeared in the crowd.Seeing this, Jie Er called Lieser, and then he finally looked at the man.
Liesel still had a smile on his face, but the interest in his eyes had lost.
"Clarify again." Lieser took out a card from his pocket, and placed it in front of the man who was stepped on by Jieer and couldn't move, so that he could see it clearly.
"You've got the wrong person." The man finally understood the meaning of this guild card, and stood there in a daze.Liesel left him just like that, put the card in his pocket, and took a step.
"Hey, what's the matter." "It's not in vain for me to prolong the commotion, it looks like I've been hooked." The voice of the military police calling them to stop, Lieser only replied "I'll talk about it another day", and continued to move forward.
Why do you have to cooperate with a man who comes to find trouble?Faced with the type of oneself who is insensitive to gratitude, why choose to continue the dialogue?That's because Lieser had a certain expectation in her heart and was waiting for someone to come on stage.
"You wouldn't..." "Let's go, or you'll get lost." With the assistance of Jie Er without a trace, Liseer got out of the crowd and found the back of the target.
The man had been watching the commotion until just now, but he turned around and turned back when the curtain fell.A pair of long legs strode forward, and the footsteps were fast. When the two caught up with him, they had already left the stall square and were walking on the street.
"Excuse me, is it convenient to interrupt me now?" The man's footsteps did not stop for a moment, Liesel walked to his side, and walked side by side like friends.
"Rejected. I'm busy." "But I have a letter on my body that I want to deliver to you." "Rejected. I haven't heard of anyone who wants to bring a letter to me." The man didn't even look at him, facing straight ahead, Seeing this, Lieser smiled wryly.Jie Er heard this conversation, his brows were tightly frowned, and his ominous premonition was fulfilled.
"Then... I was mistaken for Your Excellency and was almost killed. Why don't you treat me to dinner and apologize?" The man suddenly stopped.
His gaze turned to Liesel for the first time, and he clicked his tongue loudly, showing reluctance on his expression.The man took another step, his heels tapping the ground angrily.
"Follow me." Hearing the muttered answer from him, Liesel happily deepened her smile.
Volume One Chapter Thirteen This is a dimly lit restaurant like a cave, but the atmosphere is not gloomy at all.
The lights that adorn the interior illuminate several snow-white tablecloths, and the exposed beams neutralize the roughness of the stone-cut walls, creating an elegant and calm atmosphere.
Lieser and the others were led to one of the seats, and the glasses and silverware lined up on the dining table reflected the lights.
"It's an honor to meet you, Your Excellency the Earl." "Reject, you know I don't want to hear this address here." "How should I call you?" "...call me Shad." The lord of Markade reported his name No., staring straight at Lieser and Jieer with sharp eyes.
The store he brought the two of them to was definitely not a high-class restaurant that a dignified count would patronize, but Shad, dressed as a businessman, blended into the space very naturally.
He sipped his wine over the food that was served, and looked like a high-ranking merchant, who seemed to have no intention of asserting his lordship.
"Who are you?" "It's just a mere adventurer." Shad's eyes were full of suspicion, and he didn't believe what Lieser said at all.
He was about the same age as Rey, but his hair color was in contrast to his, the color of the dark night.A pair of blood-red pupils, with thick dark circles hanging under the sharp eyes.
No matter how flattering the illustration p225 is, this temperament can't be called friendly and pleasing, but his appearance is so beautiful that people don't care about it.If Rey is a beautiful man who can leave a good impression on both men and women, then Shad is the peerless beauty that makes all women, young and old, stop thinking about it.
"(If this person shows his face, he will probably cause a lot of trouble in various aspects...)" Liesel thought with emotion.Of course, Shad's reasons for hiding his identity must not stop there.
"...Is that a knife?" The red eyes turned to Jie Er who was sitting beside Lieser.
Jie Er only narrowed his eyes slightly to respond to his gaze, and reached for the wine glass, looking a little more violent, but Shad remained unmoved and continued to speak.
"I heard that one knife formed a team, but my personality doesn't seem to be restrained much." "You are really well informed." "I don't need others to follow you." This person is really difficult to serve, Lissel smiled wryly.
Then Liesel held out his fork to the food in front of him, and he was almost hungry too.
The fork rolls up the delicately arranged pasta noodles and delivers them to the mouth.The smell of vanilla rushes into the nostrils, the sauce is just right spicy, leaving a deep impression on people, and the cooking is more exquisite than that of ordinary restaurants.
It can be regarded as a delicious restaurant with a slightly high price. With Shad's current attire, it can be said that it is the best option among the restaurants that are not awkward to bring Liser and Jieer.
"It's very delicious." "Since opening a store in Makaide, it's a matter of course." It seems that even though Shad has a face of reluctance, he still intends to apologize.It was really a sumptuous dinner, and Liesel smiled happily.
"Jie Er, this buttery fried lemon fish steak is really delicious, cook it for me next time." "Who will cook it. Here's a bottle of wine." Since that's the case, you don't have to be polite, Lieser began to taste the wine on the table. cooking.
Jie Er seemed to be aware of this, and immediately ordered wine to the passing waiter.No matter how rich you are, it's still nice to have a treat.
Even if the noble in front of them cast a murderous gaze, the two of them didn't mind.
"...Let's get down to business, what is your purpose?" "It's good to take this meal as your purpose." "Reject." Hearing Shad frowned fiercely, Lieser put down the fork , handed him a letter.
Shad didn't reach out to take the letter, but just stared at the envelope, and looked at the other party questioningly.Rissel smiled slowly, and turned the envelope to the back.
Seeing the sealed red wax seal, Shad was startled, and finally accepted the letter.
"How did you flatter him?" "We received the Viscount's commission for the labyrinth item, and we packaged it when we handed over the labyrinth item. The Viscount liked it very much." "That guy is such an idiot..." I heard that Lissel didn't deny it." Kidnapping," Shad raised an eyebrow.
He and Rey had known each other for quite a long time, and he knew that Rey would request maze items from adventurers, and he also knew that the man was not stupid enough to be easily approached by flatterers.
"(It is certain that this person is very rich.)" He looked at Lieser who was listening to Jieer's wine introduction.
This man really doesn't look like an adventurer, nor does he look like a flattering person, and it even makes people feel that he doesn't need to do that kind of thing.However, as long as he has the heart, it won't be difficult for him to win over others.
or rey note
He was careful not to make any footsteps, and looked into the half-open door of the carriage.The moonlight shone faintly into the carriage, and two men were lying inside covered with blankets.
"(As expected of two tall people.)" The carriage was originally quite spacious, but now it looks a little cramped, Liesel thought as he knelt down on the floor of the carriage.He moved very carefully, and there was only a slight creaking sound from the planks, but one of the blankets moved with a rustling sound.
"... Has the shift changed?" Jie Er sat up, stretching out his hand to shuffle his hair while looking at Lieser.
The voice that came softly was low and hoarse, maybe it was Jieer's voice just waking up, and it was the first time he heard it.Liesel moved her body closer to him little by little, careful not to let her shoes touch the floor, and leaned her head to look at his face.
"Why did you wake up all of a sudden? Could it be that you were not asleep?" Liesel asked in a low voice in order not to wake Jagi.
In the next second, Jie Er's original blanket fell on his head, presumably to protest his groundless suspicion.Lieser took off the blanket that blocked his view, and moved his body back.
Jie Er also got up and sat at the back of the carriage, stretching his legs out casually.
"I won't sleep soundly outside." "Isn't that kind of sleeping method unable to recover from fatigue?" "It's enough." Liesel also sat in the back of the car like him, taking off his shoes.
Then, he suddenly held Jie Er's hand beside him from above.His body temperature felt a little lower than usual, indicating that he really fell asleep just now.
Jie Er dexterously put on the shoes with one hand, and moved his fingertips lightly.Lieser let go and took out two books.
"Jie Er." "Yeah." Jie Er took the book he handed over, checked the cover, and took it away.
He didn't pay much attention to books, and he didn't care about his preferences, but judging from the types of books he took from Lieser several times, he shouldn't get tired of reading these two books.
At least it would pass the time for him, Lieser thought, yawning slightly, and got into the car.The blanket that Jieer handed over was still warm, and while he was draping the blanket over his shoulders, he moved closer to Jaggie who was sleeping facing the wall.
"(Well, I slept very sweetly.)" Probe to look at his expression, the baby face looked more immature when he fell asleep, and now he is exhaling steadily.
Go to bed early yourself, Lieser lay down.During the night watch, I didn't want to sleep at all, but as soon as I lay down on the mat, I felt drowsy, and it seemed that I was still able to be vigilant.
Lieser covered the blanket to block the moonlight shining into the car, and gently closed his eyes.
The next morning, when it was still daylight, Jaggie woke up.
Looking in the opposite direction of the morning sun, the night sky has not completely dissipated.It was a normal wake-up time for Judge, who woke up early to get ready to open the store.
"(Maybe this is the first time to sleep so soundly outside.)" He propped up his sleepy eyelids and slowly sat up.At this time, the bulging blanket around her came into view.
To the tall Judge, it was a small bump.Lieser's height was by no means short, but compared to Judge, everyone, regardless of gender, probably looked petite, and there was no way around that.
Judge looked at the ball of blankets with a dull mind that had just woken up, and suddenly felt a little curiosity.He leaned over slowly, and stretched out his hand towards the blanket tremblingly.
"It's all right..." He said the excuse that he didn't know who to listen to, and lightly lifted the blanket.
Liesel happened to be sleeping facing him, and that sleeping face was exposed from under the blanket, and Jaggie felt an indescribable touch in his heart.He was usually shy and couldn't get a good look at Liesel, but now it was all right, and Judge stared intently at his sleeping face.
That face can't be called dazzling and beautiful, but the symmetrical and upright face brewed a quiet temperament.Seeing his tightly closed eyes, Jaggie noticed that although the eyes were gentle and steady, they always had a noble color.It was precisely because the color was hidden that he was able to stare at Lieser without any scruples at this moment.
Illustration p205 "(The skin is good...I want to show off to Stad. But, I should be beaten.)" Judge murmured a compliment that was a bit subtle for a man, and slowly stretched out his fingers.
The moment his hand was almost touching that cheek, there was a slight "chi" sound, and the door opened.
"... what are you doing?" Sitting down on the floor, he began to defend inexplicably.
Jieer watched his reaction with interest, and at this moment, Lieser also woke up.What a lively morning.
The lively journey also reached the afternoon of the fourth day, and Lieser and his party finally arrived in the commercial country of Makaede.
Although it is "finally", this speed is already remarkable in terms of a merchant's carriage journey, which originally took five full days.
Now, they're waiting in line to get into town.
Should it be said that this place really deserves to be called a commercial country?Goods and people gathered from all over the world, and the front of the city gate was full of carriages and travelers, which was very lively.
The city entry review is not too strict, but it seems to take some time.
"Rhinoceros fruit juice, please refer to it, one copper coin per bottle!" "Guests who need to leave the carriage, please go to the Clayton Trusteeship on the right hand side after entering the city! It is on your right hand side after entering the city gate!" "Beside the queue of carriages, peddlers selling goods and businessmen who advertise come and go.They haven't entered the city yet, and the business spirit of the people here is really strong. Liesel smiled and listened to the hustle and bustle around him.
By the way, the back door of the carriage was still open, and they happened to be staring at the coachman behind them.Liesel waved at him jokingly, and the coachman looked terribly confused.
"Brother Liser, Brother Jieer, we are almost at the gate of the city." "Well, adventurers only need to show their guild card, the conditions are very loose." "It's unreasonable if there is no crowd in the commercial country." "Pay attention Law and order still pursues development, and it’s hard to find a balance.” The standards for entering the city are loose, and although it’s easy for spies from other countries to take advantage of the opportunity to investigate, on the other hand, crowds, goods, and intelligence also gather here.
For those who do business, this place is like a holy place. In fact, almost all the queues waiting to enter the city are carriages owned by merchants.
This type of city must be led by a chief who has excellent political balance ability and is worthy of the trust of many businessmen. The lord here is naturally no exception, but the situation of this city is a bit special.
"I heard that he is the only ruler who was born as a commoner." "You are disgusted with this kind of person?" "No, all outstanding talents are welcome, but I would like to take the initiative to invite them." Lisse Er was born in a noble family, but his views are very open-minded. After hearing this, Jie Er deeply understood.
Regardless of Stadt or Judge, the people Liesel took the initiative to get close to can be said to be outstanding people.According to Lieser's claim, this is because outstanding young people are really likable, Jieer thought to himself, the king he once taught might also belong to what he called "excellent young people".
"However, he didn't become a lord in this generation, did he?" "Ah, yes. When the commercial country was still called a commercial city, now the grandfather of the lord was conferred the title." "It seems that at that time The lord adopted that grandfather as his adopted son?" "You actually knew." "It's written in the book." Before the previous lord jumped to the position of ruler, he was originally just a businessman.
Within a generation he had become a wealthy merchant, well-liked among merchants, and well versed in all trades and trades.Sometimes he would inject huge sums of money into cities to straighten out roads and revitalize transportation.
It is said that the prosperous development of the commercial city and the reputation of "commercial country" are almost all due to his great achievements.
"The lord at that time really didn't have face." "In terms of the strength of his speech, he must have been stronger than the lord at that time." However, he always respected the lord at that time, and the lord was very grateful when he saw that he had given him face when he took office. Relief, this is the most fortunate thing.
"Because of this, the lord will adopt him as an adopted son. There will inevitably be various opinions around, but this must be the most peaceful way." In this way, the lord appointed him as the next lord.
At that time, the lord had no children, and he never regretted his decision. The previous lord, who had been politely declining, also expressed his sincere gratitude and accepted the lord's kindness.
In order to repay this kindness, the previous lord tried his best to rule Markade.During the following three generations, the unremitting efforts of the successive lords brought about the prosperity of the present commercial country.Speaking of the rapid development of this city, there is indeed something worthy of admiration.
"It is still deeply trusted by the businessman, which means that he is very good as a lord and a businessman." I heard that he will pay attention to promising business transactions, and sometimes invest in them." "It's really not easy." Liesel expressed his admiration bluntly.Of course, the same goes for investment and the like, but the most admirable thing is that even the astonishing number of business licenses are fully managed.
It is the dream of all businessmen to own their own storefront in the commercial country and become rich successfully.Handling all related business in person will increase the representative's workload. I have to admire the lord for completing these tasks every day.
"I'm really worried about when I go back." "You mean accumulated work?" Jie Er understood the meaning correctly, Lieser smiled at him, and decided not to think about it now.
"Ah, so it's because of busyness..." "Jaji?" "I heard that the lord will never show his face in front of people now, and no one has seen his face." The point of not showing up in front of people , looked very unusual in Lieser's eyes.
Regardless of good or bad aside for the time being, it is inevitable for nobles to attract attention.If, as a nobleman, no one has seen his face at all, it must be the result of deliberate concealment.That being the case, his reason for doing so is... .
Jieer looked at Lissel who was lost in thought with displeasure, then turned his head to spy on the situation outside.
"Hey, we'll be next." "Ah, okay." Unexpectedly, it would be their turn so soon. Jagi, who was sitting on the driver's seat, showed his special pass, and Lieser and Jieer showed their adventurer's pass. the guild card of the owner.
The guard was taken aback when he saw Jie Er's card, and he was also well-known here.Then when he saw Lieser's guild card, the guard was full of surprise. He looked back and forth between Lieser and the card desperately, and froze for a while after realizing that he was an adventurer.
"Just tell you not to keep making people freeze like this." "Just say it's not my fault." Amidst the jokes between the two, a group of people passed smoothly in front of the recovered guard.
As soon as they entered the city gate, Liser and Jieer got out of the carriage immediately, because Jagi was going directly to his grandfather's house.Although he also invited the two to spend the night together at home, Liesel and the others did not want to disturb Jaggy's relationship with his family, so they declined his kindness.
Seeing Jia Ji's regretful expression, Jie Er felt sorry for his grandfather.If he knew that his doting grandson prioritized his reluctance to leave Liesel before meeting him, I don't know what he would think.
"Well, Brother Liser, where are you staying..." "We will start looking for it later. Jieer also said that if you are not picky, you will definitely find a vacant room." "Well, there are plenty of hotels anyway." " No... no!" After spending four days together, Jaggy got used to Lieser and the others a little, and now he can express his opinions.However, Jiaji's attitude was still very polite, and he rarely heard his objections, and the two couldn't help shutting their mouths when they heard it.
"Let Brother Lieser live in a cheap hotel...how can...I can't accept it!" "What kind of image do I have in his mind?" "Isn't it just what it looks like on the surface." His face was livid.
The two heard him muttering: The bed is so hard, the quality of the food is so poor... This kind of wording is completely rude to Jagi, and it seems that he really doesn't want to see this kind of thing happen.Although insisting on providing services suitable for customers, there is nothing wrong from a businessman's point of view.
Having a good impression is also a problem, Liesel smiled wryly.
"It doesn't matter, I don't mind." "I...I mind very much." "Then we will try our best to pick a hotel." "However, if there are no other rooms available, the two of you will still spend the night at a cheap place...!" Facing Jagi, who finally stopped them with a tearful attack, Lieser succumbed, while Jieer felt hopeless.
After recommending a few hotels, Judge handed them a card just in case they were rejected.This is an introduction card, with Jaggie's name and the name of the chamber of commerce he belongs to written on it, which is a very important proof for a merchant.
This card is quite effective in commercial countries, as long as you show it, you can get maximum accommodation in most hotels.
"Is it okay to hand over such an important thing to us?" "Yes, please accept it!" Jagi smiled softly with tears in his eyes.Lieser accepted the card with gratitude, after all, the kindness itself was very gratifying.
"Why can't you hold back that guy?" "Seeing that kind of eyes crying and begging for mercy, there is really no way to refuse." He felt that if he continued to refuse, he would be desperate to death.
Lieser looked down at the card.The name of the chamber of commerce recorded above is the chamber of commerce of Jagi’s grandfather, and the location of the chamber of commerce is also roughly marked.
"Then, we'll pick you up at this place in three days." "Absolutely... You must never accept the guard commissions of other carriages, come back with me!" With that, the invitations entrusted by the guards will definitely come like snowflakes.After he finished speaking desperately, he led the carriage and left.
Liesel waved his hand slightly, watched Jaggie leave, and then looked around again.
"It's so crowded." "Let me just say it, it's noisy and chaotic." This place is clearly the gate of the city, but vendors and hawkers are gathering here, and the originally spacious space is full of businessmen.All the streets are lined with shops, and even the narrow alleys are lined with hawkers.Looking up, countless banners and posters for publicity are hung all over the street.
This is a veritable city of merchants, with a large number of tourists and residents, the streets are bustling with people everywhere.
"In short, let's find a place to stay. Jagi also recommended a few hotels." The two walked side by side as usual.
They walked straight ahead on the street, but they were in the turbulent crowd, giving people the illusion that there was a wall of people in front of them.How does everyone move forward in this situation?Lieser thought to himself, following Jieer's footsteps who walked into the crowd without paying attention.
"Ah, I'm sorry." "Oh, I'm sorry." "Well, Jie Er, wait..." "...you go behind." Seeing Lieser being pushed by the crowd and making it difficult for him to move, Jie Er grabbed his arm, Lead him behind him.After all, Lieser had no experience of acting in crowds, so it was only natural that such a thing would happen.
After Lieser obediently walked behind Jie Er, the pace of progress was unbelievably smooth.Apart from the fact that the people around him would avoid the vicious-looking Jieer, it must be because he knows how to walk among the crowd.
"After we find the hotel, let's take a stroll." "Okay, anyway, don't you want to eat outside?" "Well, Jagi said, in front..." The dizzying vendors caught Lieser's attention from time to time , just walked for a few minutes.At this time, Jieer kept facing forward, suddenly stretched out his arm towards him, and grabbed his waist with his backhand, and Lieser also took a step sideways.
Before Liesel had time to think about what was going on, he heard someone passing by beside him startled.He turned his head, but he couldn't tell who it was among the vast crowd.
"...was taken as prey?" "Probably." It seems that it is a specialty that will definitely appear in the crowd, pickpocket.Lieser looks noble, and in their eyes, he must be an excellent fat sheep.
"You actually have a way to find out." "You can tell by looking." "Jie Er, sometimes you live by feeling." The two of them chatted and turned from the street into the alley.The main street is still bustling after nightfall. For the sake of travelers who want to sleep peacefully at night, some hostels are set up deep in the alleys.Because they can overlook the lights on the street at night, I heard that tourists often choose hotels on the outside, but the two are the ones who pay more attention to the quality of sleep.
Passing a vendor lined up with ore on blankets, Liesel and Jieer climbed the stairs at the corner of the alley and arrived at the hotel recommended by Judge.
They moved into a room for two and sat down for a while to rest.
"Stay for three nights, it's not too long or too short." "Jie Er, is there anything you want to do?" "No." "Have you been to Markaide before? The guards were also surprised to see you." "Just Let’s hear it, I haven’t stayed here for long.” Jie Er has been to the commercial country several times for commissions.There is also an adventurer's guild here, but he never used Markade as a base for a long stay, and the noisy atmosphere here was not to his liking.
Even so, it still became a topic of conversation in the streets and alleys, because it only took Jieer a month to conquer all the mazes around Markade.
But I don't think this is information that Liesel cares about, so I won't take the initiative to bring it up.
"What about you?" "Anyway, I want to see the famous scenic spots first. Ah, but is there nothing new for you?" "No, I haven't been here anyway." "Then let's do this After a leisurely rest, the two planned to take a stroll around while the sky was still bright, so they walked out of the hotel.
"Bastard! Damn it, I'm going to kill you! I'll definitely kill you!" A man roared in front of everyone, holding a sword in one hand, waving it from time to time as if declaring his anger.
The location was in the middle of the well-known "stall square" in the commercial country. Among the crowded crowds, only the men made room for a circle around them.
The crowd watching the excitement cast curious eyes.Why did things become like this?Lieser thought, wryly smiling at the center of the commotion.
After walking out of the hostel and visiting various shops, Liesel couldn't help but admire the scene that came into view at the end.
In front of the lord's mansion, there is a square of considerable size.The whole square is full of vendors, ranging from street stalls to mobile stalls, selling all kinds of goods, from food and snacks to weapons and armor, and all kinds of groceries. There are countless shops, and it is claimed that there is nothing that cannot be bought here.
There is a fountain in the depths of the square. In this maze-like jungle of vendors, only the brightly colored stone tiles are exposed around the fountain.
Behind the fountain, there is a wide and long staircase leading to the official residence.People sat on the steps and ate light snacks bought at the stalls.
"I'm almost hungry." "Should I have dinner early today?"Today's lunch time is also early, and it's almost time to start looking for a restaurant, Lieser thought while looking up at the mansion in the distance.
Among the people who went in and out, some looked like administrative personnel, and there were also businessmen. The administrative agency may also be attached to the official residence.Under such circumstances, the lord still has a way to hide his appearance, and Lieser was thinking casually.
At this time, Jie Er suddenly turned around and stood on Lieser's other side, drew his sword and bounced off the attacking blade.
"Jie Er?" "Let's cool down on the layman's side." Passers-by screamed and fled, the man roared angrily, Jie Er raised his unsheathed sword and stood in front of Lieser.
Lieser surveyed his surroundings roughly, waiting for the crowd to move away from them.He looked at the man from behind Jie Er, the man's eyes twisted, and he stared at him with hatred.
Taking it for granted, Liesel couldn't figure it out.
"Did you recognize the wrong person?" Liesel asked with a gentle smile.His gentle voice usually calms the listener's emotions, but this time it inflamed the other party's anger.
"How...how can I admit my mistake...!" "This is the first time we met." "Nonsense, a bastard like you! Of course there is no need to remember someone like me!" He heard the man's voice hiss and roar , The crowd of onlookers was in a commotion, and took another step back.
Jie Er glanced over for a moment, and Lieser shook his head lightly, implying that he should not cut him.
Considering the surrounding situation, it is better to solve the problem as soon as possible, but at least he wants to ask the other party's reason for attacking.
"Then let me ask you, did I do anything to you indirectly?" "What else do you dare to ask...!" The man's eyes were bloodshot, and he was about to grit his teeth in anger. His appearance was terrifying, but Lieser Unmoved by his smile, he tilted his head slightly as if urging him to answer.
Presumably because Lieser looked down on him, the man clenched the hilt of his sword and took a step forward.Jie Er quietly stood still, but his sharp eyes did not let go of this movement, and the shadow of the sword in his hand suddenly flashed.
"If you dare to step over, you will die." The flags on the side of the road fell down, like a boundary line in the middle of the two sides.
It seems that although the man lost his mind, he still noticed that Jie Er's deep voice was not joking.He stopped, as if nailed to the spot, and stared at Liesel with eyes full of hatred.
"It's you, the damn bastard who ruined my shop!" "Me?" "It's you! Damn commoner, what kind of ruler does Xiao want to be!" Wrong person.
"You..." "It's just that I am force majeure." The familiar dialogue was repeated for countless times, and even Lieser felt a little angry.
Jie Er reminded him that he had worked so hard in every aspect.The person involved, Jieer, actually felt that it was unnecessary, "Anyway, others will get used to it after a long time", it really hurt people, but Lieser didn't know it.He smiled wryly at the man.
"Let me clarify, you got the wrong person." "Fuck you! Who else is a nobleman wandering on the street except you, a bastard! See if I don't kill you!" The object of communication is thankful and insensitive.What should we do, he moved his eyes while thinking, and looked around quietly.
"I still advocate that you have identified the wrong person, but do you know why this kind of thing happened to your shop?" Then, Lieser chose to delay the conversation.Jieer looked at him inquiringly.
"Isn't it you bastard! Closed my shop!" "The reason for closing the shop?" Liesel asked calmly, and he didn't look like a person whose life was being threatened.
The reason why he stayed one step behind Jie Er was not because he was afraid of the man in front of him, but just for the convenience of Jie Er's protection.
It is this kind of attitude that is easy to be misunderstood, and Jie Er has given up speaking.
"Stop talking nonsense...!" "Is it something hard to talk about?" "Isn't it you who are so stupid... just for such a small matter!" Do you still want to open a store in this city?" From the information revealed in the man's words, Lieser guessed that this was probably the case.
This is the city of merchants, and it is full of businessmen everywhere.Especially here is the vendor's square, many hawkers who set up stalls are watching the troublemaker from a distance.
After hearing Lieser's words, they understood the crime of the man. He must have committed a major violation and was ordered to close the store by the lord.The merchants trusted their lord and never questioned his decisions.
"It's not good to resent the lord after making mistakes first." Lieser smiled slightly, and the surrounding voices echoed in unison.
Every time there was an angry curse, the man's wide-open eyes became a little more embarrassed, and he hurriedly looked around.He wholeheartedly believed that everything was wrong with the lord to keep his self-esteem, and the crowd's accusations took away this self-esteem bit by bit.
But a man who shirks all responsibility and blames it on his lord is unlikely to be comfortable with his faults.
"Look at that! No, no, no! It's all the fault of that bastard!" If this goes on, it's not hard to imagine the scene where the man's behavior is out of control and endangering the crowd.Facing the man who was waving his sword indiscriminately, Liesel spoke to him leisurely without haste.
"Abiding by the rules is the same thing as earning credit." He stared at the man and said in a persuasive tone.
"You are not suitable for business." Just like this, he forced the man's spearhead against the masses to turn to himself.
The man let out a frenzied roar and rushed over, he must have lost sight of anything other than Lieser.Jie Er uninterestedly raised his sword to meet him.
"We have to get out of here immediately, please don't hurt him." "Trouble is dead." There was a staggering sound in the response, Jie Er only flicked away the sword waving in the man's hand, and grabbed him while the man lost his balance The lapel fell to the ground.
Jie Er stepped on his back, looked at Lieser, and found that he was no longer looking at this place, but at the crowd of onlookers, staring straight at a certain point.
"Hello." Just as the crowd cheered loudly and talked excitedly, the figure of the military police appeared in the crowd.Seeing this, Jie Er called Lieser, and then he finally looked at the man.
Liesel still had a smile on his face, but the interest in his eyes had lost.
"Clarify again." Lieser took out a card from his pocket, and placed it in front of the man who was stepped on by Jieer and couldn't move, so that he could see it clearly.
"You've got the wrong person." The man finally understood the meaning of this guild card, and stood there in a daze.Liesel left him just like that, put the card in his pocket, and took a step.
"Hey, what's the matter." "It's not in vain for me to prolong the commotion, it looks like I've been hooked." The voice of the military police calling them to stop, Lieser only replied "I'll talk about it another day", and continued to move forward.
Why do you have to cooperate with a man who comes to find trouble?Faced with the type of oneself who is insensitive to gratitude, why choose to continue the dialogue?That's because Lieser had a certain expectation in her heart and was waiting for someone to come on stage.
"You wouldn't..." "Let's go, or you'll get lost." With the assistance of Jie Er without a trace, Liseer got out of the crowd and found the back of the target.
The man had been watching the commotion until just now, but he turned around and turned back when the curtain fell.A pair of long legs strode forward, and the footsteps were fast. When the two caught up with him, they had already left the stall square and were walking on the street.
"Excuse me, is it convenient to interrupt me now?" The man's footsteps did not stop for a moment, Liesel walked to his side, and walked side by side like friends.
"Rejected. I'm busy." "But I have a letter on my body that I want to deliver to you." "Rejected. I haven't heard of anyone who wants to bring a letter to me." The man didn't even look at him, facing straight ahead, Seeing this, Lieser smiled wryly.Jie Er heard this conversation, his brows were tightly frowned, and his ominous premonition was fulfilled.
"Then... I was mistaken for Your Excellency and was almost killed. Why don't you treat me to dinner and apologize?" The man suddenly stopped.
His gaze turned to Liesel for the first time, and he clicked his tongue loudly, showing reluctance on his expression.The man took another step, his heels tapping the ground angrily.
"Follow me." Hearing the muttered answer from him, Liesel happily deepened her smile.
Volume One Chapter Thirteen This is a dimly lit restaurant like a cave, but the atmosphere is not gloomy at all.
The lights that adorn the interior illuminate several snow-white tablecloths, and the exposed beams neutralize the roughness of the stone-cut walls, creating an elegant and calm atmosphere.
Lieser and the others were led to one of the seats, and the glasses and silverware lined up on the dining table reflected the lights.
"It's an honor to meet you, Your Excellency the Earl." "Reject, you know I don't want to hear this address here." "How should I call you?" "...call me Shad." The lord of Markade reported his name No., staring straight at Lieser and Jieer with sharp eyes.
The store he brought the two of them to was definitely not a high-class restaurant that a dignified count would patronize, but Shad, dressed as a businessman, blended into the space very naturally.
He sipped his wine over the food that was served, and looked like a high-ranking merchant, who seemed to have no intention of asserting his lordship.
"Who are you?" "It's just a mere adventurer." Shad's eyes were full of suspicion, and he didn't believe what Lieser said at all.
He was about the same age as Rey, but his hair color was in contrast to his, the color of the dark night.A pair of blood-red pupils, with thick dark circles hanging under the sharp eyes.
No matter how flattering the illustration p225 is, this temperament can't be called friendly and pleasing, but his appearance is so beautiful that people don't care about it.If Rey is a beautiful man who can leave a good impression on both men and women, then Shad is the peerless beauty that makes all women, young and old, stop thinking about it.
"(If this person shows his face, he will probably cause a lot of trouble in various aspects...)" Liesel thought with emotion.Of course, Shad's reasons for hiding his identity must not stop there.
"...Is that a knife?" The red eyes turned to Jie Er who was sitting beside Lieser.
Jie Er only narrowed his eyes slightly to respond to his gaze, and reached for the wine glass, looking a little more violent, but Shad remained unmoved and continued to speak.
"I heard that one knife formed a team, but my personality doesn't seem to be restrained much." "You are really well informed." "I don't need others to follow you." This person is really difficult to serve, Lissel smiled wryly.
Then Liesel held out his fork to the food in front of him, and he was almost hungry too.
The fork rolls up the delicately arranged pasta noodles and delivers them to the mouth.The smell of vanilla rushes into the nostrils, the sauce is just right spicy, leaving a deep impression on people, and the cooking is more exquisite than that of ordinary restaurants.
It can be regarded as a delicious restaurant with a slightly high price. With Shad's current attire, it can be said that it is the best option among the restaurants that are not awkward to bring Liser and Jieer.
"It's very delicious." "Since opening a store in Makaide, it's a matter of course." It seems that even though Shad has a face of reluctance, he still intends to apologize.It was really a sumptuous dinner, and Liesel smiled happily.
"Jie Er, this buttery fried lemon fish steak is really delicious, cook it for me next time." "Who will cook it. Here's a bottle of wine." Since that's the case, you don't have to be polite, Lieser began to taste the wine on the table. cooking.
Jie Er seemed to be aware of this, and immediately ordered wine to the passing waiter.No matter how rich you are, it's still nice to have a treat.
Even if the noble in front of them cast a murderous gaze, the two of them didn't mind.
"...Let's get down to business, what is your purpose?" "It's good to take this meal as your purpose." "Reject." Hearing Shad frowned fiercely, Lieser put down the fork , handed him a letter.
Shad didn't reach out to take the letter, but just stared at the envelope, and looked at the other party questioningly.Rissel smiled slowly, and turned the envelope to the back.
Seeing the sealed red wax seal, Shad was startled, and finally accepted the letter.
"How did you flatter him?" "We received the Viscount's commission for the labyrinth item, and we packaged it when we handed over the labyrinth item. The Viscount liked it very much." "That guy is such an idiot..." I heard that Lissel didn't deny it." Kidnapping," Shad raised an eyebrow.
He and Rey had known each other for quite a long time, and he knew that Rey would request maze items from adventurers, and he also knew that the man was not stupid enough to be easily approached by flatterers.
