On the periphery of the emperor's coalition forces, traders from Milan gathered spontaneously, forming a large market.
This is the so-called military market.
On the one hand, these markets are responsible for purchasing the trophies obtained by soldiers on the battlefield, such as scrap metal, circuit boards, drone remains, and even synthetic human prostheses. Since the soldiers have no idea of the technical value, vendors can
Purchase in bulk at low prices.
On the other hand, it is natural to use various drinks, entertainment and small items in exchange for the bounties obtained by the soldiers for their military exploits.
Ask followed the three girls as they walked through the market. Vendors had set up countless small tents here, and the stalls and goods were placed directly at the entrance of the tents, concisely and clearly.
The girls browsed this and that, going back and forth between stalls. Medea even found a beautiful silver bracelet, put it on her hand and looked around, her eyebrows clearly showed that she liked it very much.
"Do you want to buy it?" Seeing her unwillingness to leave, Ask asked.
"No." Medea said simply, putting the bracelet back on the stall.
"I thought you liked it," Aske said.
"I like it very much." Medea raised her eyebrows, "But guess, why does the market next to the military camp sell such small items that only women like?"
"I understand." Asik looked at the largest tent in the market, where women smeared with thick makeup were soliciting customers at the door.
Anyone who knows the Orioles' Nest knows what kind of place it is inside. These small objects on the outside are bought by the soldiers to please the women inside. No wonder Medea dislikes them.
"Do you want to go in and have a look?" Seeing Asik's eyes staring over there, Medea rolled her eyes and asked with a smile.
"Hmm." Asik really wanted to go in and take a look. It wasn't for doing anything, just out of curiosity.
After all, in order to pass the review of harmony in the original game world, there was a so-called "invisible wall" at the entrance of the Orioles' Nest. Many players even kept changing their postures and positions beside the wall, just to stand up when the tent curtain was lifted.
Capture the indescribable scene inside (if there is one).
You can never imagine how bored players will be.
Therefore, out of the habit of old players, Asik was also very curious about what was inside... However, Medea quickly pinched the flesh of his waist and turned it hard.
Ask turned his head expressionlessly. This kind of damage, to his current body, is not even a scratch.
"Don't think I don't know what you're up to!" Medea threatened him viciously.
"Of course you know, don't you know how to read minds?" Ask frowned and said, "Then why are you still pinching me?"
"Ahem." Medea said, "Actually, I didn't read your mind just now. I thought... you just wanted to go in and have some fun."
"Since you don't read minds, how do you know I don't want to have some fun?" Ask asked.
Medea:………………
"What topic are you talking about?" Nora, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and asked.
"Asker said he wanted to visit the Orioles' Nest." Medea immediately responded.
"I don't believe it." Nora said.
"Why don't you believe it? He just said it himself." Medea continued to provoke.
"Because I read his mind just now." Nora smiled as if she had everything under control.
Medea:………………
Wait, how could I not even compare to Nora in my mind?
For the first time, she had strong doubts about her own wisdom, and Nora held Asker's arm with a victorious smile.
"Look, there are flowers for sale over there, leader! Let's go and have a look!"
As we all know, Nora is a girl who likes flowers very much, so when she saw a stall selling flowers, she immediately ran over with Asker.
Medea was still standing there in a daze, and only heard Sheila's faint voice from behind:
"Aren't you going to chase me?"
Chasing? Medea suddenly reacted.
No, I fell into a trap! It’s the ability to implant thoughts!
"Let's go!" She grabbed Silla's arm and said quickly, "Quick, light body technique!"
——————————
Ask and Nora came to the flower stall and saw a blonde girl with a perfect figure and long legs bending down and picking a bouquet of white flowers.
"Eleanor?" Nora said in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Didn’t you go to the Weisbach family meeting?
"Nora?" Eleanor opened her mouth and looked at Asik, who was holding her arm, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just shook her head.
"Nothing. The family meeting is over, I'm going out for a walk." She paid the stall owner and smiled reluctantly at Aske, "I won't disturb you anymore."
Eleanor left in a hurry. Nora stared at her back and whispered to Asker:
"There's something fishy."
"Don't you know what's going on?" Ask asked her back.
"Actually, I didn't read her mind just now." Nora explained.
Then why do you always read my mind? Ask is completely speechless.
Nora showed an apologetic smile like "Can this be the same?" and then pointed in the direction Eleanor left: "Shall we follow and have a look?"
"Yes." As soon as Asik responded, his other arm was also hugged.
"Did something interesting happen to you?" Medea leaned over with a smile.
"We want to buy flowers." Nora's eyes fell on the position where she was holding Aske's arm.
"Did you pick any good flowers?" Medea put a fake smile on her face and hugged her arms tighter.
"No, they are all unsightly old ladies." Nora also grinned.
"Do you two want to have a fight?" Sheila said from behind, holding a box of melon, piercing it with a toothpick and eating it.
The two girls were stunned for a moment, and Asik took the opportunity to pull out his arms and skillfully changed the subject:
"I think there was something wrong with Eleanor just now. There was something wrong with her expression."
"Did you just meet Eleanor?" Medea was indeed fooled and her curiosity was aroused. "What does it mean that the expression is wrong? She has a boyfriend? She doesn't want us to know?"
"No!" Nora thought to herself, "I just saw her buying flowers and leaving, and her expression seemed a little sad."
"So it's lovelorn?" Medea guessed, becoming interested, "Let's follow him and have a look!"
So the group quickly searched for Eleanor's traces. A few minutes later, they found her at the edge of the market.
There is a small hill to the north of the market, and many tombstones have been erected hastily.
The imperial soldiers who died in the recent war naturally could not bring their bodies back to the empire, so they could only be buried nearby on this hill. The ones with tombstones and crosses were knights, and more were the resting places of ordinary soldiers. There was only one
Just a shallow tomb.
Eleanor came to one of the tombstones, placed the bouquet in her hand on the ground in front of the grave, stared at the words on the tombstone, and remained silent for a long time.
"Come out." She suddenly tilted her head and said.
Everyone walked out in disbelief.
"How did you find out?" Sheila asked.
"Will." Eleanor said succinctly. The high-level ability from the will sequence allows her to turn her will into mist and put it around her, thus playing the role of surveillance and investigation.
"Ellie, this is..." Nora pointed to the tombstone with a bouquet of flowers on it, but hesitated to speak.
"Remember Uncle John?" Eleanor whispered. "This is his grave."
Knight Commander John? Asik reacted, he was the Guard Knight Commander of Mingxing City. He had also sparred with Hilda Lifa before. It is said that he had watched Eleanor grow up.
Did he also die in the recent war?
Everyone had some impressions of Knight Commander John, but their memories were not deep. However, seeing Eleanor's dejected look, they were all speechless for a while.
