Twenty Sided Dice

Sir Bill obviously drank a lot, his face was flushed, and he was walking staggeringly, but he still accurately found Siegel in the corner of the courtyard. Evan took the opportunity to say goodbye and slipped away in the shadow of the courtyard trees. He moved swiftly and dexterously, which made Jazz take a few more glances at his back. Sir Bill and his entourage found similarly well-fed steeds, so the three staggered on their way back.

"How do you feel about the banquet?" Sir asked.

"They ate really well. I also met a friend named Evan. He is a very talkative person and feels good to get along with."

"Evan-Golden Sunflower?" Sir Bill stroked his chin. In Fanxing Kingdom, it is not surprising that the king has an illegitimate child, but it is extremely rare to be able to bring the illegitimate child back to the royal court. Evan is such a "lucky one". At that time, the queen was unable to step down because of this incident, and the relationship between the two almost broke down. The queen's family took the opportunity to attack, and the courtiers were divided into two factions to fight each other, and the whole kingdom was almost on the verge of civil war. It wasn't until the king and queen gave birth to a second son that things slowly calmed down. Therefore, Evan-Jinkui is well known in Fanxing.

Prince Aaron is only one year older than Evan. The two have grown up together since childhood, which is extremely rare in the "long history" of illegitimate children. Everyone said that the prince has a tolerant and kind heart. He can treat his illegitimate younger brother as an elder brother, and he can also treat future subjects with more tolerance and trust. On the other hand, Evan never cared about politics or anything, and devoted himself to practicing swordsmanship. It is said that he began challenging the palace guards very early, and at the age of 14 he was able to defeat them one by one. After that, he went to trouble with the guards of Chenxi again, and unexpectedly won a few games, showing his extraordinary strength.

"Leave Evan's business aside, I have a task for you. I found a caravan that was going to the hub to deliver some saplings and fertile soil. Although the smell is not good, it is relatively safe, eat it. Take care of your drinking. Prepare for tomorrow and leave at noon." The two of them walked back to the hotel by the bright moonlight, and Sir ordered Siegel: "Although you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, you must be careful. It will take about a month to go, so you can find some dried meat that can be stored for a longer time, just in case. Bring some more arrows, there may be no supplies on the way. "

"Okay sir, I'll get ready to pack."

Sir Bill threw the reins to his entourage, adjusted his clothes, and said, "I'll go and do some exercise. You take the horse back and have a good rest. You don't need to find me before noon."

After speaking, Sir turned a corner, pushed open an unlocked door, went in, turned around and inserted the latch, and then went up to the second floor. In this small villa, there is a room that is always lit by candlelight, decorated with lace curtains swinging gently outside the open windows, and a beautiful shadow is cast on the curtains.

The warhorse snorted, strode forward, and then turned to look at the stable. "Okay, I didn't want to take a peek." Siegel rushed to the front in a few steps and tugged at the horse's mane along the way. "I said dark horse, when will you let me ride once?"

The warhorse shook his head, as if he did not understand what the young man was saying. Siegel grabbed the reins and turned to leave.

"Boy." Someone stopped him, and Siegel followed the sound.

A Knox Common Society mage stood at the intersection, his shadow was dark and long, and seemed to be able to wriggle on his own. The shiny bald head reflects the silver-white moonlight, and the red swirl tattoo seems to be slowly rotating. Siegel rubbed his eyes to make sure these weren't hallucinations.

The man turned his back to the light, so he couldn't see his face, only that he was standing with his hands and fingers crossed in front of his chest. His voice was slow and cold, and he asked, "Do you know where Leaping Fish is?"

Siegel shook his head: "I'm not familiar with this place either."

"What a pity. I had to ask other people." The man sighed, and then said, "Boy, do you know where to buy the best gems in Ximu Town?"

As the man spoke, he took out a gold coin. The gold coin jumped between his fingers, bounced into the air, glided, and finally landed firmly in front of Siegel. This is a school city gold coin, which is bigger and heavier, and can be exchanged for two ordinary gold coins.

Siegel hesitated for a moment, then said slowly: "Go to the grocery store, you can only buy some wooden barrels, bamboo baskets, ropes, fishing nets, etc., and the gems should go to the pawnshop. I also know that there is an iron gate opposite the third berth in the port. , smugglers and adventurers like to try their luck there."

After speaking, the squid spread out his right hand, and the gold coin landed firmly in his palm. He reached out and weighed it, and put the gold coin in his pocket. When he looked up again, the man had already left.

The sound of music and happy shouts were vaguely heard in the distance. Even in the middle of the night, the joy did not end. Siegel scratched his head, and by the moonlight, he looked in every direction at the street intersection. There were only two stray dogs chasing mice, and there was no other sign. He was not sure if any of Knox's mages had spoken to him just now, just as he was not sure if the pleasant voices were coming from Elvis Manor or the two-story villa next to him. Siegel dug into his pocket and found an apparently large and heavy coin, which made him shiver.

Siegel took two quick steps and led his horse back to the Storm Night Inn. The inn was still lit, but there was no hustle and bustle. The enthusiastic sailors have already decided the winner and the loser at the wine table. The winner has now fallen into the arms of the **, and the loser is still lying on the table with the messy cups and plates.

The innkeeper finds the drunken purses one by one, and settles sake money when they are unable to resist. He never took more money from the sailors - for doing so would be cursed by the **** of the sea - he only took out the coins according to the number on the account. Over time, the guests who come here know this, and they will not stop him foolishly. Timothy does this only because too many sailors wake up the next morning to find their mates are spending more money than expected by eating and drinking while he's drunk, so they get mad at the bill , cunningly finding all kinds of excuses to avoid paying the bill. Timothy understood the feeling, but he would not accept the loss.

"Hey, squid, did you have fun tonight?" The boss yawned at him, stood up straight and asked, "I'm exhausted here, but I still have some stew and sour soup left. , do you want to come?"

"Thanks, I almost survived today—eight pig trotters, and a lot of other stuff." Siegel returned to his familiar surroundings, breathing in the alcohol and sea smell of air, and said again. It feels so much better to be lit by the warm light of the fire, at least without the spooky mages and creepy voices. "I'm leaving tomorrow, and I'll find you in the morning to settle the rent for the past few days."

"Oh, we're on our way again? Would you like to prepare some biscuits for you?"

"You can prepare a little less, it shouldn't take much." Siegel replied.

At this moment, a drunk beside him rolled over from his chair, suddenly waved his arms like a commander, and shouted, "Ah! Gems! Go and **** the gems for me!"

Siegel was startled.

"These drunkards are still dreaming of making a fortune!" The boss said with a smile: "Knox's mages want to build lighthouses and buy various gems at high prices. Especially rubies, they are willing to buy one for 500 gold coins. But sailors We might have some pearls, but gems are rare."

Siegel thought of the dark shadow under the moonlight again, and the gloomy atmosphere on the street reappeared, making his bones tremble. He had an ominous foreboding, as if in the surrounding air there was the shadow of a fishing net, which was closing the gap from a distance to cover the poor little fish's head. So he ran out of the inn and slammed the door of the grocery store until the dwarf in his pajamas jumped out of the open window. With an oil lamp in one hand and a short stick in the other, Pi Ya shouted angrily, "Damn, who won't let me sleep?"

"Pi Ya, what about the ruby ​​I sold you? You didn't sell it to Knox's bald head, did you?"

After hearing the familiar voice, the dwarf really opened his eyes. He looked up at the moonlight, pinned the short stick behind his belt, and asked suspiciously, "What? Take your time."

Siegel took a deep breath and decided to tell his friends the whole story, and to express his concerns: "I don't know why the mages of Knox pay attention to rubies, but I have a feeling that there is some connection. If I can , I want to redeem that gem. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

"I can't redeem it, there's no other way." Pi Ya said with a smile, "I've already ground the gem into powder and used it as a raw material to make the dwarf's rune potion. It's impossible to change it back. I hired a master craftsman, In a few days, they will come and make me runestones for the distilled water stove, which will save a lot of firewood money. Don't worry, rubies can't be as valuable as my secret recipe! I'll be making money soon!"

"The gem is gone?"

"It's completely gone."

"That's good." Siegel breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that such an activity would make his stomach easier.

"Is there anything else? I want to go back to sleep." The dwarf's big head shook, and his eyelids began to gradually close.

"Don't! I'll take the opportunity to tell you. I need to buy some jerky, and arrows, sweet wine, and hay; two blankets, a pair of horseshoes, new sharpening stones, and a tinder box." 's smile.

"Damn it, when are you going?" The dwarf said energetically.

"Tomorrow afternoon."

"Stock three times the price now, and 20% off tomorrow morning!" The dwarf almost shouted.

"I'm only here to give you a deposit." Siegel took out a gold coin - he was sure it wasn't a gold coin from the Academy. "Go to sleep, I'll come back to you tomorrow morning."
