Chapter 46 Chapter nine

Nelia had been taunting me all night about this, and I was trying to prove that the man was really joking.Of course, of course I have no proof.That guy was damned. I managed to get her to her own room at last, and then I was able to read the book I had bought.Shan Sen also lay down on his own bed, and immediately started giggling non-stop. Carl coughed a few times before telling him to shut up.Even so, Shan Sen continued to laugh afterwards, so Carl took the chair and candlestick and walked out to the balcony. After more than ten minutes, Carl's face turned purple, and he walked in frightened.Hey!There is nothing wrong with the beautiful night scene, but reading in the cold wind in October should not be an easy task!Carl didn't say anything, just nestled in his bed, and Shan Sen began to read his book with a restrained laugh.After I finally felt the harmonious reading atmosphere, I began to read the book "One Hundred Selected Cookings That Can Fill the Kitchen with Warmth and Joy" seriously.Ah, what happiness!

Well, just looking at the description is already really mouthwatering.oops?Wouldn't it be delicious to mix it together like this?Huh?Need to use stone crab?How much crab meat will there be after the little stone crab is shelled?It's fine to bake it directly.After I asked Carl, I learned that the stone crabs in the sea are much larger than those in freshwater. "he he he he he!" Ugh!It's Jamie!No, is it Shan Sen? "Stop laughing!" "Uh, sorry. I just wanted to laugh without knowing it." I shivered and walked out to the balcony.Carl looked at me with a look of "you will not be able to hold it", however, no matter how cold it is, it is just like that, will I not be able to hold it?Compared to Carl, I'm much younger. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

"Hmm! Hmm! It's so cool!" "what?" Suddenly there was a strange sound from the side.I looked to the side and saw Nelia standing there with her feet hunched over the balcony railing.Although Nelia was wearing black clothes, she couldn't see very clearly, but she could clearly see the big trident on her back.I was startled, and when I was about to speak, she put her hand to her lips and told me to be quiet.I approached the balcony next to me. "Uncle Carl came out not long ago, why did you come out again this time?" Nelia asked me in a low voice, so I asked her in a low voice:

"Where do you want to go in that dress?" "Well, oops, I'm going to ask something." "Isn't it very dangerous? So you even bring a weapon?" "It's okay. It's not a big deal." So of course I couldn't say "ah, is that so? Goodbye".I can no longer sever my concern for others like the previous incident.Completely forgetting to care about other people's experience, Dietrich alone is enough.I folded my arms over my chest and said: "This is the capital. It's not a place where Nighthawk can do whatever he wants!"

"Really...it has nothing to do with you." "Remember that time?" "Ok?" "I asked you if you want to die, what did you tell me?" "……help me." "Although I don't know what it is, let's go together!" Nelia bit her lip and said: "Shansen, Gishien or Uncle Carl are not allowed to go, understand? Those people must not follow. You come out quietly. I will wait for you below." Before I could say anything, Nelia had already jumped down.Really great.I went inside and said: "I'm going for a walk outside, and I'll be back later."

"walk?" "I was on the balcony and found the night view really beautiful. I went out for a walk and came back right away." "You said you were going for a walk, but why did you bring a sword?" "I just carry it with me, just to be careful and safe. A beautiful boy like me who is easily misunderstood as a woman disguised as a man should be careful and safe..." "Be careful, then." Karl nodded, Shan Sen was reading his book and had no time to talk to me.Ghisien said he would go with me, but I said I wanted to go out for a while quietly by myself, so I went outside.

As soon as I walked out of the hotel, Nelia was leaning against the hotel wall, kicking small stones.Nelia saw me and said: "If I just leave like this, I'm afraid you will think that I am going to do some burglary, so I took you there. But, you must follow me quietly, and you can't stand in front of me casually, you know ?" "It turned out to be a dangerous thing!" "If it's dangerous, will I just take you alone? Because women and children have nothing to do with it, so I take you there." Wow!They even said I was a child!Yes, I do have a delicate and lovely baby face.After Nelia finished speaking, she immediately raised my arm and started to walk lively.What is this!Does it really look like you're going for a walk?

I asked Nelia: "If we walk together like this, some people may say that it is a woman who abducts a minor!" "Isn't the lovely daughter following her father?" "Stop talking! The lovely daughter follows her father, will she carry a long gun on her back?" "Others will think it is from a martial arts family. Don't you also carry a giant sword on your back?" We just said some unnutritious words, as if we were really taking a walk, walking easily and happily.The eyes around him didn't look like they saw a woman abducting a minor at all.Ahh... He Tante's sunshine is my enemy.When I think about it, I was once as black as the youth in the South in Erasmus City.Of course that was the result of disguise.

We walked for a while. Nelia seemed to know the way very well, she didn't even need to look around, she just walked vigorously, but I felt that the surroundings gradually became very strange.I followed Nelia all the way without any hesitation, and then I came to a place full of hotels and private prostitutes.Uh, really...how did you come to such a bad place? The women next to us were not so much dressed as they were undressed.They have been sending eyeballs.But because I was walking with Nelia, I didn't become the object of those glances, but instead became the object of verbal abuse and ridicule.

"Hey. Are you running around with men before your wings grow hard?" "Young master's bones will melt!" "Seeing that he is still so blunt, I see that he can't use it yet. Do you want me to teach him first?" They are all kinds of insults.Some words I can't remember at all. I was literally getting dizzy.I'm not mad about it.Why are they scolding people?I did them no wrong, and they held no grudge against me.So what do those cursing words mean?They're just, just scolding for fun!Because if they don't point and curse, they will not be reconciled.And that's just because I happen to be here at this moment, so it's like a small stone thrown with my eyes closed.It's not aimed at me, it's not scolding me.Nelia said quietly:

"Do you want to be an adult?" "What's the meaning?" I said it with a serious face, but saw Nelia smiling. "Don't think about it. From now on, keep your mouth shut unconditionally, and don't answer no matter what you hear. You must stand behind me and be careful of your back. Although I will pay attention, there is no way to guarantee that nothing will go wrong. If there is an emergency If there is any situation, just leave me and go. I can get away with it myself, so if you fumble there, it will only make me difficult. Got it?" Very unusual atmosphere!I nodded.Nelia took a deep breath and suddenly grabbed my neckline tightly. Her eyes were piercing.I had to stop breathing.She uttered a shrill voice, small but fierce: "I want you to listen. You've shown me your stupidity. You're crying for a child you have nothing to do with, you fool! If I'm in danger, I want you to just Just take care of your own life, run away quickly, you know!" I don't know if I answered her or not.Because she turned away without waiting for my answer.Nelia went straight into one of the buildings on the street full of hotels.The building was sandwiched between the buildings on both sides, as if it had been squeezed in with great difficulty. There was a creaking sound of the door opening. Once inside, we were greeted by a pungent smell of smoke and a choking stench. I didn't think I was very clean before, but at this moment, if you say that I am the only child of a nobleman, others should believe it.Bushy beards, scars, tattoos, bandages, eye patches, weird accessories.After all the men there glanced at me, they burst out laughing.And then it's over.I have since become a person not worth looking at again.The men all retreated into their own melancholy and loneliness, into the acrid smoke, as if they were a group of people who had nothing to do with me. I feel like there are about seven or so layers of walls all around. Nelia didn't even look at her surroundings, and walked straight ahead.I followed Nelia as if I were swimming in those pungent smoke.I have a feeling of walking in the fog. In this black mist, those men appeared and disappeared.Those men who were like sharp blades sat crowded together.Although it was very dim, his cold eyes kept shining.I feel suffocated.There are also men who rolled directly to the ground after drinking.No one seemed to care.I saw a guy in the corner grabbing a girl and teasing her.I think my whole face must have started to burn.The man stretched his hands under the table and was doing some indecent gestures, and the woman was panting listlessly.I turn my head away. "what?" The bartender spoke in a strange voice because he was smoking a cigarette.I stood quietly behind Nelia, and she paid no attention to me, and said: "I want to meet Moon Dancer." The man took the cigarette, dusted it on the bar counter, put it in his mouth again, and said: "There is no such wine." "Are you good enough to joke? You know what I mean!" "who are you?" "I put the lid on Schroeder's coffin." "I don't know Schroeder." "Don't brag about 'poor memory.'" The bartender spat, picked up the rag, and began to wipe the bar quietly.Nelia sat in front of the bar, resting her chin on her hands, and stared blankly at the ceiling. What is the situation now?I just stood quietly behind Nelia. After the bartender wiped the entire bar, he pointed to the door on the side of the hall with his chin.Nelia, who had been staring blankly at the ceiling, stood up and started walking towards the door.I followed her.The acrid smoke almost made me cough. Nelia opened the door directly. It was dark inside the room.Only the hall lights illuminated the floor, reflecting a bright rectangle, and the inside was completely invisible.Nelia says: "Close the door and stand there, Xiuqi." As soon as I closed the door, the room was completely dark.Nelia reached back and grabbed mine.She gripped my hand tightly, as if giving me an unspoken promise.Then she said in that gesture: "it's me." "Who's behind you?" This is the sound I have heard.It was the man named Moon Dancer. "Not your business." "What do you need from me?" "Turn on the light, goddamn thing." After a while, there was the sound of crackling flint, and the surrounding area was dimly lit up.I took a closer look and there was a lamp on the table in the center of the room. Behind that lamp, there was a man sitting there.I could vaguely see the face I had seen before, the face of the Moon Dancer.His gaze rested on my face for a moment.Nelia was still standing where she was, and she said: "Tell me why you are looking for me." "Have you changed your mind?" "It may or may not change." "When did you shoot the dagger at me?" "Let's talk about the facts. Don't say things that don't matter." "I need a girl with red hair." Nelia nodded and said: "Somebody's looking for a girl with red hair, seventeen or eighteen." "Do you want to cooperate with me?" "You explain clearly first." The Moon Dancer, who hadn't moved a moment until now, leaned back on the chair and began to move slowly a few times.As soon as he leaned back, he couldn't see his face very clearly.Nelia stood there without moving, so I was caught between Nelia and the door. There was a red light shining on the Moon Dancer's face.Is he smoking?He exhales smoke.Because the light is dark red, it looks like some red snakes are wriggling. "A nobleman is looking for his lost daughter." "Is it the Marquis?" "That's right." "Has it been a long time since you lost?" "Looks like it was lost as a baby." "It's really difficult to find someone based on red hair and age." "That's all I know. There should be other evidence, but I can't find out." "Are you here for property?" "It's for the documents." "So it's doable?" "Ok." "I'll give you an answer after I think about it." "Damn it, don't try to play tricks!" "Who are you talking about?" "...give me an answer tomorrow!" "I like your straightforward personality." Then Nelia turned away.It was like a "let's get out" signal, and I turned to open the door, when suddenly Nelia knocked my outstretched hand away.She said fiercely: "Tell the brothers outside to go away." "You'll be fine." Immediately Nelia pushed me aside and opened the door.There were two men standing on the left and right outside the door, and they looked at Nelia with indifferent expressions, and she walked out expressionlessly.I also followed her out. No one in the hall was looking at us. Nelia walked directly outside the house.As soon as I walked outside, I seemed to be able to take a big breath. Nelia didn't say a word until she walked out of the small street.So I also followed her blankly.There are still insults coming from both sides, but I don't care much.As soon as I walked out of the small street, Nelia hooked my arm again and began to smile. "Not a bad night, huh?" "The conversation just now, if I ask you, will you be angry?" Nelia didn't answer me, but put her cheek against my arm.I just walked blankly.The newly bought black coat was rubbed against Nelia's cheek, making a rustling sound. Nelia says: "Aren't you very smart? You should be able to guess what you're talking about, right?" "...The nobleman I saw in the evening just now was looking for a red-haired girl." "go on." "You said that the moon dancer was a liar. Maybe the red-haired girl is the long-lost daughter of the Marquis? Anyway, he is planning to disguise you as that daughter and sneak into the nobleman's house who is looking for her daughter." "go on." "And then you steal some document from that house, it seems like such a plan." "continue." "I'm done." "Hmmm...it's funny how your arms buzz when you talk. Keep talking." Because you stick your cheeks like that, of course it will.I coughed a few times and said: "Are you going to pretend?" Nelia shook her head. "How do I pretend? I've already told the Marquis that I'm not a teenager anymore." "makes sense." "But which Marquis is he?" "It's the Marquis of Harshtel." Nelia stopped and looked at me.I shrugged, and Nelia started walking again, pressing her cheek to my arm again.It seems to want me to continue talking.So I explained it to her. "The family crest on that carriage...Miss Ebolyn from the Harshtel family who came to see us yesterday morning, the two men who guarded her have the same family crest on their scabbards." "Really? Are you sure?" "I'm sure. Miss Ebolyn also mentioned the words of Lord Marquis." Nelia said in a surprised voice: "Wow. If it's the Harshtel family, isn't it the family where the Dragon Soul Envoy was born?" "There will no longer be a Dragon Soul Envoy born." Nelia still pressed her cheek, only her eyes looked up at me.As a result, it is really difficult to walk properly. "Since fifteen years ago, the Hastel family has no longer produced Dragon Soul Envoys. Because the agreed time limit for the birth of Dragon Soul Envoys is until fifteen years ago." Nelia showed a surprised expression, so I told her about the agreement between the Dragon King and Duke Hastel more than three hundred years ago.She sighed softly. "You, you know quite a lot. Then whether I meet the Marquis or not, I can't pretend anymore." "what?" There was a gust of wind.After Nelia closed her eyes, she whispered: "Huh. It's cold." I took off the giant sword on my back, took off my short coat and handed it to Nelia.Giggling, she took the coat and handed me the trident.Huh, I seem to be often regarded as a knight's entourage.I held the greatsword and trident at the same time, and Nelia draped my short coat over her shoulders.The black coat matched Nelia's black dress quite well, but the size was a little different.It didn't look like a short coat, but rather a long coat draped over her body.Nelia took my hand again and said: "You said that the lineage of the Dragon Soul Envoy was cut off fifteen years ago?" "yes." "I almost ran to pretend. Fortunately, I didn't go. It's been a long time since the lost daughter of that family?" "Didn't you hear that it was lost when you were a baby?" "Then why didn't you look for it at that time, and it took so long to look for your daughter? The reason is very simple." "Simple?" "Because the Dragon Soul Envoy is needed." "Dragon Soul Envoy is needed..." "The girl who was over fifteen years old was born before the bloodline was cut off, wasn't she? It must be very likely to have the bloodline of the Dragon Soul Envoy." I spit out a mouthful of saliva. "damn it." Nelia kept patting me on the shoulder and said: "Of course it's not the kind of touching story about finding a lost daughter. Well, maybe the so-called 'other evidence' refers to whether or not you have the qualifications of a dragon soul envoy. So there is no way to pretend." Suddenly, I thought of a sentence Miss Ebolyn said: "Master Marquis doesn't care about his news either." His news?It was the news of Dietrich's life or death.But Karl once said that the Harshtel family must have a dragon soul envoy.Because of the reason for being promised to be a Dragon Soul Envoy, the family has enjoyed all the glory and wealth for three hundred years.In such a family, the life and death of the precious dragon soul is unknown, but they don't care at all... That meant that they could go find a new Dragon Soul Envoy.Just look for the red-haired girl. The lost daughter is not an adopted son, but a member of the Harshtel family, so it is more likely that she has the qualifications of a Dragon Soul Envoy.So it doesn't matter that an adopted son, Dietrich, is gone.Especially Dietrich, who is still very young, not yet old enough to create a bloodline...Damn it!The lost daughter was over fifteen years old, so of course she could have children. The angular face of the Marquis came to my mind.damn it! "Damn noble bastard..." "Why are you doing this all of a sudden?" "He doesn't treat people in a human way at all, just like he treats domestic animals!" "What's the meaning?" I carefully told Nelia what I thought.After she finished listening, she sighed deeply. "Yeah...? Phew! It's really unpleasant to hear. However, this is not a conclusive fact, is it? This is just your guess." "If you have other speculations, you can tell them. I will listen to you carefully." "I, my brain is not good, I can't think of it. Also, let's stop talking about this." I took a long breath and looked up at the night sky. The night sky is the same whether it is in Hetant or here.I really want to go back, I don't want to stay in this kind of place anymore.damn it!I want to go back to Hetant, where our good lords rule. Another gust of wind blew. It was very late, and there was no one on the street, except for the melancholy glimmer of street lamps against the October night sky.The aperture reflected on the ground is very beautiful. Here, there are not even fallen leaves that are blown away by the cool night wind. "By the way, Nelia, how old are you?" Nelia smiled and said: "You don't look like a gentleman after all." "Tell me your age first. Then I'll be a gentleman." "Hehehe, actually, I don't know." "what?" Nelia waved her hand at her own shadow cast by the street lamp, and said: "I'm an orphan. So I don't know my exact age." "Then... is it really possible that she is younger than me!" Nelia jumped forward suddenly.Then I turned around under the street lamp, looking up at me and smiling. "Is it similar?" How should I answer?I always thought she was older than me from the first time I saw her.Of course I always felt that way.And the atmosphere created is the same.But now, in the falling light, circling in a baggy jacket, she is... "Oh! You're an eighty-year-old hag. Go away. It's cold!" "What! You are courting death! Stop for me!" We ran forward all the way on the night streets of the uninhabited Baizos Imperial City, using the circles illuminated by lights as stepping stones for the small river.Nelia's voice resounded crisply, and my footsteps resounded resoundingly.The wind that touched my cheek gave us an infinite sense of speed. The Unicorn Hotel appeared in front of me in an instant.Nelia's face was flushed, panting, and I was also panting, sitting down in front of the main entrance of the Unicorn Hotel. "Puff haha." "What's, hey, funny?" "No, I'm just in a good mood." "In a good mood? Well, then I don't really want to tell you about it!" "What's the matter?" "The door is locked." "Uh uh uh uh!" I quickly got up and looked at the front door.I saw that the hall was dark, and I pushed and looked at the door, which was indeed locked.As long as I push harder, things like the door can be easily destroyed. Although I have this idea, I force myself to resist the temptation.Nelia giggled and reached out to me. "My trident." I handed the trident to Nelia.Immediately, Nelia started walking towards the opposite direction of the hotel.After walking to the opposite side, she turned the trident upside down and started running over. Snapped!The trident leaned on the ground, and Nelia jumped up into the sky.She looked like a nighthawk.Like a bird flying up, she gently went up to the balcony on the second floor. "Wow! So cool!" "Really? Thanks. Good night, then!" "Uh? Uh uh uh uh! You won't open the door for me?" "This is the punishment for saying I'm a witch. Hehehe. You don't even have a coat. You might be a little bit cold, right?" "Ugh! If you're joking, I don't think it's very funny. If you're serious, I'm reluctant!" "Is there a so-called willing punishment? The door will open at dawn, goodbye!" What?it is true?After Nelia actually opened her own door and went in, there was silence.I listened carefully for footsteps coming down, but heard nothing.Nelia's body is very light, so there may be no footsteps.Well, now she should have opened the door, walked down the stairs, across the hall, holding the doorknob, now, open the door! Why is the door still open? She's not kidding!Do you really want me to sleep here?Uh, hold on a little longer, and she will come to open the door, right?Is she trying to make me angry?I wrapped my arms around my body, trembling and trembling.When I ran back just now, my body was hot, but now it is not so hot. After my body cooled down, I felt very cold. Well, she should have opened the door now, right?It's okay to be joking to this extent.I just smile and forget it.Uh, is she joking?Well, she should come to answer the door! "Hey! Nelia!" I almost yelled out.But I managed to keep my mouth shut.If I shouted loudly now, I would definitely cause public outrage.Wow!This is really the feeling of being robbed of body temperature! Well, what Nelia can do, I can do too!Trembling and trembling, I looked around.Pole, no pole?But the reality just made me realize how ridiculous it is to find a pole in the streets of this kind of metropolis.Should I close my eyes and smash the door, and then pretend nothing happened? How cold will Dad be now? I suddenly felt a sense of desolation.I sat down with my back against the pillar at the door of the Unicorn Hotel. Dad must be locked in the goblin's cave.Do those goblins use fire?Alas, if they were like orcs, they wouldn't use fire.Assuming they were skilled with fire, would it be possible to provide heating facilities for the captives?Will they have warm, kind hearts?I'm not Iluli, so I can't have a good impression of them.They must have locked Dad in a cold cave. So Dad must be on the floor of some cold cave in the Gray Mountains, shaking terribly. what to eat?What is dad eating now?what!Damn it! "One hundred selected dishes that can fill the kitchen with warmth and joy"?What a time to buy that book! "dad……" crunch.There was the sound of the door opening.But my head still hangs down.A voice came from the ear. "Oh my god? Xiu Qi, are you crying? Alas, alas. I was joking. Didn't I just come out?" It's like Nelia.She grabbed my shoulders and swayed, and lifted my face straight up.But I couldn't see Nelia's face clearly.It looks blurry. "Are you really crying? I can't believe it. You're crying over something like this?" "I miss..." "Ok?" "I miss my dad." Nelia stared at me.I'm sorry, Nelia.How many times have I let you down?I let you see me stupid again, didn't I?But I really miss my dad.How would she scold me?She didn't scold me, but hugged me quietly and gently stroked my back.My body, which was shaking from the cold and crying, slowly began to calm down. "Don't cry anymore, Xiuqi." I took a big breath and stopped crying.Nelia said in a low voice: "Go in, Xiuqi." I stood up.Nelia hugged me as if she was helping me, and led me all the way to the room where I slept on the second floor.At the front of the room, she pulled up her sleeve and wiped my tears. "Is it better now?" "……much better." "Go in and have a dream with me. Even if you are a little bit colored, I will forgive you." "...It must be very difficult. If you want to dream of Nelia." She giggled.I laughed like a fool too.Maybe my face is a sight to behold right now, with tears streaming down my face and laughing like a fool.But Nelia saw my face and didn't laugh at me.Instead she gestured for me to hurry in, and I opened the door. "Good night, Xiuqi." "Good night, Nelia." As soon as I entered the room, I heard snoring and snoring. Suddenly the idea of ​​a prank came to me.Really, these two uncles!I haven't come back yet, just fell asleep so comfortably?Hmph, these two ruthless uncles!Excited, I ran to rummage in my backpack and took out the ink. Then I took a cold peek at Carl, Shansen and Gishien who were sleeping. "Hey hey! In the breath of the cold night, the eyes of the avengers looking at you are burning like a raging fire." I put my finger into the ink bottle and took it out, and looking at the ink on my finger, I said: "This is the black hand of revenge... Hehehe!" I'm really looking forward to tomorrow morning.
