Alexander's Memoirs - Under the Rule of the Rat Chapter 12 The Legendary Name
Alexander had briefly asked Qiu Demi and Raphael about the situation at the Chamber of Commerce yesterday, and walked towards the carriage and horse with Pai Wen slightly nervously.
Paion and Alexander walked through the square, and there was also a steam carriage parked at the entrance of the carriage house. The one owned by Richard and the ones at the entrance of the hotel were all black, while this one was red.
.The front of the car also has a large symbol of two crossed swords in front of a shield.
"The life of the rich." Pai Weng looked at the steam four-wheeler.
"Um, Paion, do you recognize this sign?" Alexander asked.
Pai Weng recalled it carefully, but he didn't remember it, so he had to say: "I don't recognize it."
"Hmm..." Alexander walked into the door on the first floor of the carriage house to see if Iri was still there. Pai Weng stayed in the sun for a few more seconds and followed him.
"Hey, you are here." As soon as he entered, he saw Yi Ri just sitting down with a glass water bottle in his hand. "It seems that a few big shots are here, so what do you want?" He took a sip of water.
asked.
"You sound like you knew we were coming?" Alexander approached the counter and stared into Iri's eyes: "We heard about hiring guards for the auction when we were drinking in the hotel lobby, so we wanted to come over and ask."
"I have hinted you like that before." Yi Ri made a forceful push forward motion with both hands and continued: "But you didn't expect that our Chamber of Commerce will hire people? Unfortunately, the quota has been exhausted."
"Really..." Alexander sighed. "I understand... In that case, there's no need to hurry and leave." Alexander turned around and walked out of the carriage house and said to Pai Weng: "Let's go, in this case we'd better join them.
Just go on patrol and let Qiu Demi take care of the rest."
"It's okay, the location can't be moved so fast." Pai Weng followed Alexander and left the carriage house. Now thinking about what Yi Ri said yesterday about letting a few people go to the hotel to join in the fun, he also knew that people from the country would come to stay today. It was just a few people.
The person left the hotel early due to other matters.
"I will go into the city tomorrow night." Yi Ri said loudly and pointedly after the two left. Pai Weng looked back and saw him getting up and turning around to pour water.
Alexander also paused, continued walking further away and loudly replied to Iri: "Then we will come here at least once before tomorrow."
Seeing that Iri didn't respond, Pai Weng quickly caught up with Alexander.
He walked towards the slums, but he might have been too late to see Brandon and the others. In the end, Alexander decided to go shopping and listen to any gossip.
In fact, there is really nothing to do in Union Commercial Street, but if you have some spare money, there are indeed some shops worth checking out. It didn’t take long for Alexander and Paion to see a lot of small items, which attracted most of their attention.
attention.
Several shops are selling a round white stone with a hole in the middle and a thin red rope. There is a beautiful knot on the top of the rope, which is very well-woven.
Alexander hesitated for a while, then walked to one of the shops and asked what this kind of jewelry was used for and why it was sold in several stores.
The merchant said it was an amulet belonging to a migrating tribe in the deep Gobi desert. They would regularly bring exchange items in exchange for some necessary supplies. This bracelet was an addition to the exchange, and it is said that it can bring slight benefits to people.
It was useless to take too much, so I sold them. They only cost fifteen mel each, which was quite cheap.
"If you think about it, we are considered rich people, why don't we buy one?" Pai Weng walked to the shop and looked at these amulets.
Alexander took out Fifteen Mel and bought one, and casually asked what the tribes in the Gobi were.
The store owner was bored, so he started talking about it. It is said that there are several tribes here driving livestock to survive among the oases in the desert. Most of them are black-skinned or dark-brown-skinned people with many tattoos on their bodies.
There are also slight differences in the language. Paion has also heard of such people, and even other adventurers have occasionally boasted about the hospitality they received from the desert people.
Alexander tied the amulet to his wrist to see if there was any change, and then prepared to go to the street office to wait for the rendezvous. There was nothing special on the road, but a sudden cool wind blew away the sweat that should have fallen into his eyes.
Departed from the original route - could this be a weak friend? With the idea that this bracelet is a magic equipment, Alexander thought that this amulet might be useful, so he turned around and went into several stores to inquire about the price. By coincidence, they were all the same
I bought four more amulets for the price...perhaps the vendors are passing each other on.
Alexander then handed an amulet to Paion and walked to the office again to prepare to meet up. Paion took the necklace-style amulet and put it around his neck and followed him quickly.
On the other side, Raphael and Qiu Demi walked behind Brandon and followed him on patrol. They walked around again but nothing special happened. After the five people met, Brandong sighed and said simply
: "I thought I could find some valuable information this last time."
"It's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen." Alexander threw an amulet to each of them and said, "I bought it on the commercial street. It seems to be of some use. Take it."
All the money he had saved was planned to be given away. Brandong was not polite. After taking the stone bracelet, he stuffed it into his pocket.
"Thank you." Qiu Demi nodded and took it.
"Oh, oh, amulet?" Raphael took it in surprise and put it on. He felt very strange about it.
"But it seems we haven't seen Captain Brian come back yet..." Alexander and Paion have been here for almost half an hour.
"We didn't see him among the patrolling soldiers on the road." Qiu Demi tried to get the bracelet stuck in the depression of the glove but failed.
The five people waited here for a while, standing at the door of the street office on Union Commercial Street. Finally, two patrol soldiers came over and talked quietly about the murder case. Davis Bryan followed
Not far behind them, they were drinking water from a wooden bottle while walking.
Already at a distance where they could see each other, Davis Bryan nodded to Brandon from a distance, passed by the five people without any nonsense, and walked up the outer stairs of the office on the street to the second floor.
Alexander followed Brandon up, intending to enter the office. But he also wanted to hear what the two soldiers were saying, so he touched his ears to send a signal to his companions, hoping that they could understand.
Raphael understood and pointed to the door with a small movement, and then pointed at the two soldiers. He looked around to let his teammates make an idea. After seeing Alexander had gone upstairs and entered the door, Raphael hurriedly followed.
After seeing Raphael going up, Pai Weng, who didn't understand the situation, also followed him upstairs. Qiu Demi stayed outside, closing his eyes and concentrating.
The voices of the two soldiers were relatively quiet, and Qiu Demi couldn't get close enough to listen. Anyway, he didn't hear anything valuable.
"Do it well and don't let down your mother's expectations." Davis Bryan said to Brandon in the room. The young Oathbender took it with both hands and nodded seriously after hearing it.
At this time, Alexander followed the door and saw Brandon at the table taking the two paper certificates and a small red card handed over by Davis. Brian moved over to see the content of the certificate.
One and figuring out what to say next.
The yellowed paper was hastily filtered through, and it roughly wrote about the fact that Alexander, Brandon and other entourage were going to report rainforest intelligence in front of His Majesty the Emperor.
"Here, drink up." Davis casually handed the cup he drank from to Brandon. He took the cup and drank the liquid without any doubt, then bent over and coughed loudly, Alexander and then
Paion and Raphael both smelled the strong smell of alcohol when they came in.
Brandon's face quickly turned red, and he coughed and patted his chest several times before he recovered.
Seeing that they seemed to have finished speaking, Alexander asked: "Well... Mr. Bryan, although it is a bit presumptuous, I have some questions to ask, I don't know..."
"What's the matter? Tell me." I don't know if Davis Bryan will answer Alexander's question, but he can always continue talking.
Raphael straightened his back consciously and stood up for Alexander with a serious expression. Paion, who knew something but had no idea about the situation at all, stood next to Raphael and stood with him.
Alexander hesitated and asked at a slower pace: "The first thing... is that we haven't collected the expenses for everyone to go to the city and the rest of the trip, so I want to ask about the details of the slum dismemberment case. See
Let’s see if we can catch the criminal and get a reward.”
"If you can catch this murderer, the reward is 80 paise on paper, but considering the financial capacity of the investor, only half of it can be taken away immediately. So I don't recommend that you spend your time on this matter.
, the murderer is very cunning, and even interfered with the prophecy through some means." The experienced Oathbinder frowned and told several people his opinion.
Alexander touched his chin and continued: "I understand how dangerous this murderer is. So, what about the time and place of the crime, the modus operandi, eyewitness testimony, etc.? Well...it's not just for money, it's not
If you plan to get involved, you may encounter it. If so, it would be good to solve this case incidentally." These words really took Brandon's mood into consideration.
"Starting from the late night of Monday in the first week of the Moon of Cleansing the Dust, it has also been late at night several times since then. The location is in ordinary alleys, not too close to the commercial street, and the techniques are all short sharp weapons such as daggers and daggers.
The internal long laceration wounds caused. That is to say, the victims had resisted, thereby enlarging the wounds. Only those who discovered the body during the day had no useful clues."
"What is the moon that cleanses the dust?" Alexander asked this question, and now he felt that there should have been a unit for measuring time.
"The new year, the first of six months. The name comes from the fact that strong winds and light rain often occur during this period." The other Pai Weng people behind him rushed to speak.
"Oh...specifically, how many days ago was the first time?" Alexander could understand that there were six weeks in a month and ten days in a week, but she really didn't know what day it was today.
"Today is Thursday, three days ago." Brandon added.
"Well... Thanks for the tip, there is one more thing." Alexander breathed a sigh of relief. "Before... the kind of brilliance that Brandon showed, is it some kind of energy that can produce a healing effect? The body of the captain of the Third Pioneer Team
His condition is worrying, and... the humid environment of the rainforest has now endangered his life. Although the people who opened the second team before have temporarily alleviated it with magic, it cannot be cured. The captain mentioned the Oathbinder's Guiding Hand.
Or the priest's magic can cure his disease."
Davis Bryan was silent for a moment. "The power of the Guiding Hand can indeed treat wounds and diseases contracted in a short period of time, but this must be done by contact with me. In this place, extraordinary professionals are needed to take charge. Luo
Bishop Nan and I can't get away from it. As far as I know, there are some special potions in the cathedral in the capital that can also cure diseases."
"Well...thank you for your advice." Alexander saluted, "Then we'll leave first."
Alexander walked out thoughtfully: "I've finished asking, are you going to have lunch and wait until 2 p.m. to attend the auction?"
"Okay." Qiu Demi stood downstairs and looked up, then nodded.
"No problem." Raphael stepped onto the stairs gently, where his equipment was the heaviest.
The four people were waiting downstairs. Brandon calmed down his breath, changed his equipment, and walked downstairs, looking at them as they were thinking about something in a daze.
Alexander noticed Brandon's condition and quietly stood beside him, staring at him without saying a word, waiting for him to wake up.
"It's a great auction house that only rich people can go to." Pai Weng stood aside and looked at Leng Buding and said.
Hearing this, Brandon came back to his senses, saw everyone looking at him, and scratched his head at Alexander sheepishly: "Sorry, I was thinking about other things."
"What's the matter? Can you tell me? Anyway, we don't know what to do now that we don't have any information." Alexander patted the hem of his clothes with a natural movement.
"It's still too early to be promoted to a legend. It's not impossible if you plan to learn more about it, but it will affect your understanding of your own path to becoming a legend." Brandong spat out words that were familiar to all four of them.
Qiu Demi stepped forward, walking in front but paying attention to the conversation.
"Legend?" Raphael pondered this familiar word.
"What does promotion to legend mean?" Pai Weng asked.
"Things in the world always influence each other, but it doesn't matter." Alexander was a little curious.
"Legend originally meant reaching the legendary level in the field of extraordinary professionals, and later it was used to refer to extraordinary professionals in the legendary stage. Well... the path to becoming a legend is either the same or unique." Brandon continued to explain.
"Is Oathbinder one of the easier ways to become a legend? Don't you believe in gods?" Raphael looked at Brandon, remembering the supernatural power he had before.
"The power of the Oathbinders is not given by God. Our strength comes from unremitting persistence, difficult training and sacred oaths." Brandon corrected him, but then said: "Well, I don't know why.
Being able to draw on the power of the sun field, generally speaking, this can only be accomplished by priests borrowing divine power."
"It's unique... Then it's okay." Pai Weng scratched his head.
"Isn't this... inevitable... In addition to being of the same origin and unique..." Although Qiu Demi said this, his expression was very disappointed, and he didn't know why.
"Except for the legendary professions that have been passed down, the abilities of other legendary professions are unique, and there will never be another one in this world. The paladin has five inherited legendary professions, namely the Saint Evil Hunter, Blue Silver
The Night Jealousy, the Unfallen Shield, the Edge of Truth, and the Sanctuary Patrol Envoys of our lineage." Brandon looked back at the street office of Squirrel Commercial Street and murmured. "Sure enough, I gave up.
Having gained your own enlightenment, do you plan to inherit the cult of Saint Evil Hunter?"
"It probably means that among all the paladins, there will always be five people who will inherit this... legendary profession?" Alexander shook his head and said, "Okay, it seems to be quite far away from us, so let's go eat first."
"Let's go eat." Pai Weng was very happy. After all, eating a decent meal is better than eating grass.
"Alas." Alexander, who didn't quite understand, wandered towards the square, looking around. She also bought a loaf of steaming white bread along the way, and Raphael walked at the end of the line carrying the bread bag.
Brandon slowed down and waited to match Raphael's pace: "I'll take a bite first to satisfy myself, I'm so hungry." After that, Raphael raised the bag so that Brandon could take out a piece and start eating.
Paion, who was following Alexander, was wondering if he should ask Brandon to get a piece of hair to prevent accidental injury in the future. After thinking about it, he decided to forget it, as it was easy to misunderstand. This chapter has been completed!
