Because of that bold maniac who pretended to be a Blighter and was swindling in Kalar, he was very busy today.
As the security consultant of Lamu Town, after such a serious incident happened in the town, he had no reason to stay aloof. Even if he didn't want to go out on such a cold day, since he received the call from Lord Falina
, even out of basic respect, he must leave immediately.
Everyone knows that Her Excellency Falina is the real controller of this town. Since she wants to hunt down the druid who doesn't know what's wrong with his mind and wants to impersonate the Blighter, then they have no choice but to follow.
She made trouble together.
At least it still looks like it needs to be done. But Donald can bet that not only himself, but also the other consultants summoned by Falina will never really pay attention to this matter.
In any case, he was a druid after all, and matters between druids could only be resolved by druids, not to mention that Farina did not give any evidence that the druid was pretending to be the Blighter.
In the opinion of their advisers, this should be a persecution, a public and private revenge against an old enemy.
The perfect thing that can be handled is naturally the best. But Donald and the others did not get any information about the so-called "Fake Blighter".
Therefore, Falina and several other consultants had a brief discussion at the meeting and decided to go through the process at least once according to Lord Falina's idea - and just go through the process.
After all, if the "fake blighter" is actually the person in power within the Druid sect, then when he reacts, Falina may not necessarily suffer, and none of their group of consultants can escape.
What Donald is responsible for is the security inspection of various gathering places.
Carral has very abundant wood resources. Expensive wood that costs three gold coins a piece in Titan even costs only one silver coin here. For this reason, most of the buildings in Caral are purely wooden structures. Although Caral also has the same
It is rich in ironwood, a rare wood that is as hard as steel, but this does not mean that Karar has the luxury to build a house with fire-resistant crystal wood.
Therefore, fire prevention is a very serious topic in every city in Carral, and the position of the safety consultant has therefore become very important. Whenever the city guard has no time to patrol, the safety consultant will go to the entire city to detect fires.
Conduct a round of inspections in prone areas.
——Actually, it was still a formality. Donald curled his lips.
He remembered that two days ago, at the request of Lord Falina, he had just checked the fire hazards and effectively eliminated them. What's more, people who have lived in Kalar for a long time have a considerable degree of awareness of fire prevention.
Unless there are hidden dangers that cannot be discovered with their professional knowledge, other factors that may cause fires will naturally be avoided by residents.
After entering a hotel and taking a cursory glance at the lobby, Donald left straight away, not even bothering to go up to the second floor.
He has other places to go. It's not a good habit to go out for a walk on such a cold day. It's better to finish some things early, go home, write a "everything is okay" report and hand it in, and then catch up on a good night's sleep.
.
But just when Donald left the hotel, a sweet and soft voice came from behind: "Sir, how to get to the south gate?"
An educated lady.
Before he could look back, this impression had taken shape in Donald's mind.
But when he looked back, he immediately realized that he had guessed wrong——
Her waist-length black hair was fluttering in the cold wind, her delicate little face was flushed red from the cold, her long eyelashes were flickering, and she was as timid as a little animal and as endearing. The black corset dress outlined her figure as slender as an elf.
Her figure, a slightly larger black trench coat, showed off the girl's fair skin, and the mink velvet shawl did not make the beauty feel warm. She just sighed and lightly stamped her feet on the spot.
——The dress is a typical Bantha aristocratic style, the leather of the boots is snow deerskin from Carral, the shawl is from this winter, and the windbreaker is a popular model designed by Master Nesser of Suze, with a sandwich layer
In it, the alchemical formula of heat preservation is written using a triple fragmentation technique.
Not knowing whether to feel ashamed or proud, as a top student who graduated from Bansa's aristocratic college, Donald almost instantly calculated the total price of this beautiful girl's outfit.
Each piece is worth at least three gold coins, and the total outfit is worth about thirty gold coins. Strictly speaking, it is not very expensive, and the overall style is relatively complicated. But this is impossible in a small place like Lamu.
Someone can afford this outfit.
If the money from all the "big businessmen" in Lamu were pooled together, it would still be about the same.
Coupled with the ancient etiquette of the Suze nobles, the beautiful long hair as black as the night sky, and the snow-white and exquisite slender hands without calluses or scars, the identity of the girl in front of her is easy to reveal.
Although he already had a family, the man's unique mentality of showing off still made Donald smile slightly and asked in Suze language: "Are you looking for someone? Do you need help?"
Probably when she encountered a familiar accent in a foreign country, the beautiful girl like a fairy was obviously stunned for a moment. Then she almost jumped up, leaned forward slightly, and happily asked Su Zeyu with the accent of the imperial capital: "How do you know?
Talking about Su Ze? That's great. Can you take me to the South Gate? My guard... my brother and I got separated and can't be contacted. I only know that he is at the South Gate around
Wait for me, can you tell me how to get to the south gate?"
That kind of authentic imperial dialect with an elegant long ending and a jumping pronunciation like singing made Donald dizzy. It was true that he had learned Suze language by himself in Bansa, but that level was limited to daily communication.
.Once a pure Suze person talks to him in Suze dialect with an accent and speaks very fast, he can only understand roughly.
Although he only knew that the girl in front of him was going to the south gate to find her guard or her brother, her accent had already revealed her identity.
Su Ze's imperial capital, Ge Yasa, is a place where every inch of land is precious. Although it is located in the far north and is covered with ice and snow all year round, Su Ze's royal alchemists have built a giant constant-temperature barrier in Ge Yasa.
It makes it feel like spring all year round and the air is fresh. In addition, because Suze is a permanently neutral country, many hereditary nobles from other countries will choose to come here instead of Titan to retire after they abdicate.
The beautiful scenery is one aspect, and the other is that although Titan is rich, the collision of ideas there is too fierce. Today an idea will emerge, tomorrow a theory will emerge, and the day after tomorrow a doctrine will emerge - which is fine for young people, but not for these old people.
Generally speaking, they would rather go to Suze, which has less developed transportation but is quiet and peaceful, to retire.
But that being said, there may not be many nobles who live long enough to abdicate.
Therefore, most of the long-term residents of Geyassari are officials from various places in Suze. If an ax is thrown and hits ten people, there will be nine or more nobles who are viscounts. The remaining 80% are from some big chamber of commerce.
director.
Having grown up in a place like that, Donald would not be able to offend any guard, let alone this noble lady who was obviously of extraordinary origin.
Despite the fact that the outfit she is wearing is not expensive and is very miscellaneous, and every part is not rare, at least you can buy it all locally in Lamu - but there are some inner things that cannot be hidden by outer clothing.
Donald studied estate management and valuation for four years at the Feige Noble Academy in the capital of Bansa. Although he still could not find a job locally after graduation, at least his vision was different from that of the untouchables like Kalal.
This kind of fluent Geyassa-like pronunciation of Suze language cannot be learned in one or two years. Because it is adjacent to the land of winter elves, the pronunciation of Suze language refers to the language of winter elves to a large extent. Unless it is specialized
If you have studied linguistics, otherwise most people will only be able to learn the rudimentary pronunciation when learning Suze language.
To the locals of Suze, you can instantly hear the difference between the pronunciation and the local pronunciation.
Because Su Ze has a close relationship with the winter elves, some of the children of Su Ze's great nobles will be arranged by their families to have contact with the next generation of high-ranking winter elves when they are very young. On the one hand, in order to continue this hard-won friendship,
On the other hand, the Suze people hope to use the bronze blood of the winter elves to optimize their family's bloodline, making their family's bloodline more noble, so that future generations will be born with a higher starting point.
Legend has it that the Suze royal family has the characteristics of a winter elf with black hair and eyes because it contains a very high concentration of winter elf blood. So...
Donald quickly took a step back and bowed respectfully to the beautiful girl who looked like an elf: "Please follow me, Miss."
"That would be troublesome."
With a sweet smile, the black-haired girl tilted her head, and then thanked Donald with impeccable courtesy: "Also, you can just call me Heilan."
"I'm sorry. This is Donald, no last name."
Donald lowered his head and said his name.
Unconsciously, the dominance of the conversation between Donald and Herland was reversed. Herland was clearly walking behind Donald. The two knew nothing about each other except their names, but they gave people a sense of
The strangest thing about the feeling between the guard and the eldest lady is that the two parties involved didn't seem to notice it, and just accepted it as a matter of course.
"Speaking of it, Donald," the girl who called herself Herlan asked curiously, "how come I see so many regular soldiers running around the city early in the morning? Is it morning exercise?"
regular army?
Donald smiled bitterly.
How can a regular army come from a small place like Lamu? Even the city guards are only a few who can wear armor, and all other armed forces are essentially the same as militiamen.
So while walking, he responded casually: "Those are Ram's city guards. Something big happened this morning. There was a Druid with a brain disorder pretending to be a blighter and cheating in the city. Those city guards are Falina.
Sent by your Excellency to hunt him down."
"Eh? Why is he pretending to be a Blighter?"
Hellan's tone was full of doubts.
Donald shrugged, indicating that he didn't know either: "I don't understand either. But in my opinion, whether that person is a fake Blighter or a genuine one remains to be considered. Her Excellency Falina summoned him before and then let him go.
I killed him, and now he is wanted... I really don’t understand what these big shots are thinking."
"Wanted? Do you have his portrait?" Herlan keenly noticed Donald's wording.
"Yes. It hasn't been produced yet, but Your Excellency Falina has described it to a few of us," Donald recalled, "It said... it has pale skin, a thin body, and yellow hair. It is about seventeen or eighteen years old.
There is also a rancid smell on my body.”
"...Are you sure?"
For some reason, Hellan hesitated.
"certainly."
Donald said matter-of-factly: "There is no problem with Your Excellency Falina's memory. She can completely remember even a month's account books in half an hour... a terrible woman."
"That's it..."
Herlan was thoughtful.
Keenly aware of this, Donald was slightly surprised and then his expression became serious: "What's wrong? Does the eldest lady have an impression of this person?"
"You live in the East District, right."
Heerland smiled and said: "I heard from people in the West District that there is a foreigner in the Mule Inn, and his appearance is similar to your description. You can just ask the owner of the Mule Inn later."
"Foreigners?" Donald chewed on the strange wording, "There seem to be quite a few foreigners in Ram..."
"——The kind that's very far away."
Herland interrupted Donald's words and emphasized the pronunciation of a certain word, which seemed to indicate something.
Donald seemed to have thought of something and immediately shut up.
He casually waved over a guard who was passing by in a hurry, and whispered something in his ear. Then the guard glanced at Heerland with surprise, then immediately lowered his gaze, bowed and walked away in a hurry.
"I thought you people here were very well-informed," Herlan's expression was full of surprise, "After all..."
"After all, Ram's place is too small, right?"
Donald laughed.
When the laughter subsided, he sighed slightly and nodded: "Indeed, there is something wrong with Lamu. Not only is the place small, but the people here are also not right."
"When I was in Bansa, I always heard that the people of Karar were simple and honest, but after I came here, I realized that was not the case at all."
"It's not an exaggeration to describe it as stupid...and it's not just a problem of character, but also mental state..."
As if he realized what he had said, Donald immediately stopped talking, rubbed the back of his head cheerfully, and apologized to Herlan: "I'm really sorry, Miss, for making you listen to such boring complaints."
"It doesn't matter."
Hellan raised his head and smiled, that gentle smile was heart-warming.
"Advisor! Advisor Donald!"
Suddenly, an armored guard ran towards us with a panicked expression.
"What's wrong? You're in such a panic."
Donald glanced at Heerlan carefully and found that she did not show any unpleasant expression, so he looked sharp and scolded in a low voice.
The guard glanced at Huerlan and immediately realized that this was a big shot. So he bowed hastily and whispered something vaguely in Donald's ear.
In an instant, Donald's expression changed drastically.
"What? You said the mayor..."
After blurting out, his voice immediately lowered: "Are you sure?"
The guard nodded vigorously.
Donald's face suddenly turned livid. He bowed respectfully and apologetically to Herlan: "I'm sorry, Miss. Something seems to have happened here..."
"It's okay. I understand, and the person I'm waiting for has arrived."
Hellan nodded empathetically, and then pointed to a particularly eye-catching person in front of him.
Donald followed the finger and looked over, and recognized that it was a mountain man.
Look at the big shield behind him, it's probably a guardian. It's very powerful, at least at the bronze level, maybe higher.
The man looked anxious at this moment and looked around.
...Probably he is waiting for this young lady.
Donald understood, so he bowed apologetically again and then left.
If he has anything, he must report it to Lady Falina immediately.
But at this moment, a huge explosion came from the distance, making his face look even more ugly.
That's the direction of the Hunting Knife Tavern. I heard they just bought a batch of high-concentration spirits from Su Ze...
Visible to the naked eye, blazing smoke rose up, and the air nearby became distorted. The firelight faintly leaked from the cracks in the building.
As if it had been agreed upon, several huge explosions came from several directions in Lamu. The townspeople screamed, cursed, and cried in unison.
The fire spread in all directions driven by the wind, and in the blink of an eye, thick flames became one.
Donald, who was very anxious before, stopped moving. He stood stiffly on the spot, his eyes dull.
Suddenly, Donald felt a chill on his face.
He stretched out his hand and touched it in a daze.
——It’s snow.
winter is here.
The last winter that Donald, and many people in this town, can experience has arrived. For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
