Chapter 803: Paladin, the store does not entertain troublemakers (23)
Without Ivan's company, Qian Qian and Safin lived alone in the shelter for three years. For three years, Qian Qian has been working hard to teach himself all kinds of magic knowledge in front of the inherited books and test benches. She makes a trip to town every five days to the grocery store and bakery to stock up on groceries. She'd never been to the taverns of Oaktown, and she didn't want to get the attention of adventurers at this time.
Qian Qian always wore a hooded cloak when she went to town, covering her face tightly. She would disguise herself as an old lady, walk slowly to the town with her back bent, and then walk back slowly with her basket.
In the past three years, Qian Qian has gradually grown taller, and his long golden-brown curls are draped behind his head, shining with a metallic luster by the sun. Qian Qian rarely looks in the mirror, but she knows that she is very beautiful, beautiful to the point of causing trouble, as a trick with a task, it is really bad to have such a face!
"You're not so worried, are you?" After knowing Qian Qian's worries, 7788 replied heartlessly: "And you must not be as beautiful as Marianne!" Marianne is the number one beauty in the Bloodleaf Kingdom! It is clearly written in the poem, unless something goes wrong in the process of growing up like Wei Youyang. ”
"Marianne is the daughter of the powerful Archduke Ferdinand, and the future Archduchess," Qian replied with a shallow face, "No one dares to trouble her!" And she's not a magician, and Anne Luck wouldn't want to eat her! The most important thing is that she doesn't need to work, she doesn't need to go to someone's mother's grave to sing, and she doesn't need to be a tavern hostess! ”
"Okay, okay! You've got your point! 7788 raised his two front paws as if surrendering: "But the natural appearance can't be changed, the original owner was chosen by us through discussion, you don't want to rely on me now." ”
"I don't have you to rely on." Qian Qian frowned and looked sad: "I just think of the task and worry, it won't be long before I go out." It's almost time for my first mission, and I need to hurry to Fort Frecy. This task is okay, sitting on a tree with a hood and singing, it is already suspicious, and it makes no big difference whether you cover your face or not. But in the future, I need to open a tavern, how can a tavern lady wear a hood all day long? ”
"You can use that potion, like you did when you went to town and soaked it and made your hands crumpled like an old lady." 7788 pointed to Qian Qian's alchemy test bench: "What if you wash your face with that potion?" ”
"You can figure it out!" Qian Qian rolled his eyes: "You're not afraid of blinding my eyes." Besides, that potion deceived ordinary people at most, not from well-informed adventurers, let alone from magicians. ”
"But......" 7788 scratched his head, "Didn't you say that elves are more beautiful than humans?" Adventurers are used to seeing elves, and they still think you are good-looking? ”
"Indeed!" Qian Qian nodded: "No matter how beautiful I am, I can't be more beautiful than an elf." It's useless to worry about it now, I'll leave for the Duchy of Frésy in a few days, and I'll have a look on the way. ”
"Are you going to recruit a ranger to accompany you, as Ivan advises?" 7788 asked worriedly.
"Don't yet" Qian Qian shook his head: "I won't go anywhere this time, I will go directly to the Duchy of Flacey, I plan to let Safin take me to fly over, this is the most time-saving, and the safety is not noticeable." When the mission is complete, I'll be back and recruit a Ranger from the tavern in Oak Town to accompany me to the Misty Forest. ”
"But," 7788 wrinkled worriedly, "that Anne Luck doesn't know what's going on. What if she's okay? ”
"Probably not." Qian Qian replied, "Remember? Ivan told me that she was badly injured and that it would take six or seven years for her to heal. But what you said also makes sense, for the sake of safety, Safin and I still try to choose the sparsely populated route, I have been living alone in the shelter all these years, the news is closed, and I don't know what the situation is outside, and my 'suitors' still don't continue to toss. ”
"Who called your home a strategic location?" 7788 pouted: "I have come up with an ideal husband for you, how about we go to him and marry you?" When you get married, those people won't be able to care about your fiefdom. ”
"Who is so unlucky that you are worried about?" Qian Qian couldn't help but be happy.
"Leopold, remember?" 7788 jumped around excitedly: "King Flacey's faithful companion, a genius magician, Prince Leopold of Sorrenburg." ”
"Sure enough, it's an ideal candidate." Looking at 7788's teasing appearance, Qian Qian smiled and leaned back: "The son of the Duke of Sorenberg, he will be King Frecy's right-hand man in the future, the future Duke, and the closest friend of the royal family." With such a husband, no one dares to worry about my fiefdom. But 7788, have you forgotten that marriage is not a business, if you let someone marry me, will they be obedient? I'm just a small fiefdom. ”
"But you're pretty." 7788 blinked: "You said, you are very beautiful." ”
"Yes, that's right." Qian Qian turned around and replied absentmindedly while cleaning up his alchemy experiment table: "But the aristocratic marriage in this era is mainly for the merger of property and fiefdoms, similar to a kind of alliance relationship, and the most important thing is that the strength is equal, and it is not to look at the face." ”
"But Duke Fressey married a commoner." 7788 immediately threw out a counter-example and wanted to continue arguing.
"Yes! That's why I think it's suspicious. Qian Qian stopped what he was doing and frowned thoughtfully: "The male protagonist's own mother is from a commoner's background, this matter is too unconventional in this era, and he is the only one among the nobles of the entire kingdom who married a commoner, which makes me wonder if there is really anything special about that duchess." ”
"For example?" 7788 blinked curiously, "What do you suspect?" ”
"For example, the legend of the Demon Bloodline. What if she's really a demon? Qian Qian looked at 7788 with a serious face: "But I have always wondered why the Aris Holy Sword appeared in her grave if she was a demon." ”
"Yes......" 7788 rolled his small eyelids and looked serious thinking: "The Holy Sword of Aris is the Sword of Holy Light, it is impossible for demons to touch, it will be burned." A book on the shelf is written like this, but we haven't seen it before, so we don't know if it's true or not. ”
"It's true." Qian Qian nodded: "The Aris Holy Sword has always been kept by the Holy See, and only the Holy Knight can touch it, although ordinary people will not be burned, but they will not be able to withstand the energy radiation of the Aris Holy Sword, and only the God's Chosen Paladin can not be affected." ”
"emmm......" 7788 touched his mustache: "King Frécy's family is really strange!" Forget it, you still don't want to marry Leoper, this guy must be weird to be with someone as strange as King Flacey! ”
"What is this...... Qian Qian raised his forehead with a black line.
