She Chooses To Destroy the World

Everything was ready, and Alice went to the Northland alone.

She prepared two sets of travel clothes suitable for travel, put the chain mail under the clothes, put the dagger given to her by Lena on her belt, and carried the great sword from Dewitt on her back.

This is the first time in Alice's life that she has traveled to the north. Potzta, where she was born, is located in the south of the capital. Most of the mercenary work is also done in the south, and she has never set foot on the northern land. Obviously there is warmth in the south, but the north is still killing. Alice was a little grateful that she had prepared thick clothes in advance.

Alice's destination is Born, the capital of Rachel in the Northland. The ancestral mansion of Count Rachel’s family is located there. Before leaving, Alice did a little research. When Earl Rachel first got married, they lived in that house. Later, when the countess died, Earl Rachel went south to the royal capital alone. He lived in the royal capital for many years before returning to his fief again. After that, every other year, he would live in the royal capital for two months and deal with some affairs. After the work is over, return to Born.

After the death of his wife, Earl Rachel married another wife in the capital. But it seemed to be a completely political marriage, and both parties had no feelings for each other. Later, he returned to the Northland alone, but his wife did not go back with him. The marriage between the two was a dead end. It is said that he also has one or two mistresses in Northland, but he does not often spend the night with them. Most of the time he lived alone in Bohn's mansion.

Inferring from the current situation, the beaded crown left by the previous countess must remain in the mansion of Rachel's house.

In this way, she had to find a way to sneak into Rachel's mansion in Born.

In comparison, Alice is better at fighting people head-on on the battlefield, and her personality is the same, she likes to go straight. However, she had done some infiltration work with the master in the past, and this was not entirely inadequate. According to her master Rohm, they "must know a little about everything" as mercenaries, otherwise it will be difficult to survive.

The mansion of aristocratic family is not so easy to sneak into, especially Earl Rachel is not the kind of earl with only a name, he is a real lord, with Rachel’s jurisdiction from top to bottom. How can I sneak into his house on earth can't be determined after I get to Bohn.

Alice walked alone, and the only horse by her side. Rom asked Alice to name it, but Alice refused. One is because the horse may have had other names. If she renames it, I am afraid that the horse will not be used to it; the other is because it came from nowhere. Alice always feels that one day, it will still She ran away without a trace. If there is a **** to naming it, she would be sad if it ran away in the future. Like now, it feels relaxed.

From the royal capital to Bohn, led by Rachel, he would have to run for seven days even if he hurriedly worked day and night. Alice had to eat and sleep, and was not prepared to travel day and night, and it was not a rush job. So she took a long time, and deliberately went to the northwest for a while, so that people could see the color of her hair and the giant sword on her back. Then she carefully wrapped the giant sword several layers, paid for a messenger, and let people take it. It was sent back to Roma's farm.

In her work this time, privacy is the most important thing, so it's better not to hang up the sign.

Her hair is actually conspicuous. Fortunately, although red-haired girls are rare, they are not completely absent. If she dyed her hair for this purpose, it seemed that she would take herself too seriously. After all, she would be nothing more than a mercenary. In the eyes of ordinary ordinary people, they are marginal people who do not respect the king's law. In the eyes of princes and nobles, it is just a life that can be bought with money.

She walked to the northwest for a few days before turning back to the right road to the north. When she rode a horse to Bohn, it was already the seventeenth day.

Bohn seemed to be about to snow, the sky was gloomy, and the wind was blowing like a knife. Although Alice knew that the Northland was cold, she especially prepared thick clothes to bring, but she felt a little unstoppable when she arrived in the Northland. After pondering for a long time, she spent eight silver coins in the local area to buy a collar of fur.

Except for the enchanted gemstone that she spent 20 gold coins before, this is the largest amount of money she has taken out of her in her life. My hands were a little trembling when I was spending money, but I waited until the furry and warm fur clothes were put on my body to withstand the wind and cold. If you can't buy such a good fur in the capital city for twice the price, it's actually worth it to think about it.

Alice has been accustomed to hardship since she was a child. When she was a waitress in a tavern, she saved a few money and was not willing to spend it. Later, she apprenticed with Roma for three years. Roma never let her be hungry. He was never stingy when choosing weapons for her, but he never gave her any pocket money. The first time Alice went out with so much money, she was a little intimidated at first, but after spending it once, she felt a little eager in her heart.

She has more than one hundred gold coins in her hand. If ordinary people plan carefully to live, these money will be enough for ten or eight years; if it is a guest shop, it may be enough for one and a half years. If it is used to buy fur clothes, she can buy more than a hundred pieces of fur clothes like this. Naturally, it is impossible for her to buy more than a hundred fur clothes, but such calculations make people happy in the end.

Of course, the advance payment given by the Duchess was to make her find a way to get the crown for her, not to make her foolish. Although Master Roma never gave her pocket money, he taught her how to manage her own money:

"Remember, you can only spend a quarter of the advance payment, and you can use another quarter when you finish the trip. The remaining half is less than a critical moment and is absolutely unusable. According to regulations, if the task is not completed, the advance payment must be refunded in half. If it is spent, you have to ask the guild to borrow money. How many high-level mercenaries are planted on this, and the debts have been high since then.

Even if this mission fails, there is no need to refund the advance payment, but thinking of such an order, Alice finally managed to stop her eagerness, and did not spend more money to buy anything, but honestly found a second-class in the inn. Stay in the room. The price of a second-class room costs 85 copper coins per night, and breakfast is 15 copper coins per meal. It is winter and the price of hay is high. The location of the stables and the fodder for the horses cost 35 copper coins a day. At such a high price, it’s no wonder that Master Roma refused to buy a horse, running on two legs wherever he went, and only rented the stagecoach at the station when he had to.

Alice first bet a gold coin on the cabinet, which can last for about a week.

It gets dark early in the winter in the north and windy outside. The night before Bohn, she stayed in the inn’s room and prayed to the **** of the future without rushing out to inquire about the news.

Since Alice almost lost her life last time, she has done this kind of homework for herself every night. At the beginning, she was not used to it, and she always reminded her of her mother, and couldn't help feeling sore. After a long time, I got used to it a little, and I gradually regarded it as an indispensable thing every day. If one day there is no prayer due to things, you will feel that something is missing.

The **** hadn't uttered a word since he saved her life last time. I don't know if he refuses to speak out, or he ran out of divine power, and he couldn't even control his dream. When Alice heard him last time, she was between life and death. She didn’t even have time to ask about his god’s name. Now she prays without a clear direction. She can only remember in her heart what breeze blew through her ears. Half sentence:

"Don't forget me again."

Most people pray to the gods, and most of them pray for the gods' blessing, and the prayers are composed of routines. Alice’s prayer was different. She only hoped that the **** of the future could increase a little more divine power and be a little more free. If one or two of her prayers are really for herself, I hope he hears her prayers and can come and talk to her again. At least, let her have a chance to thank him. It is a pity that she has been praying for several months since then, and there is no movement at all.

Maybe she still has too little power of faith to wake him up.

She wasn't in a hurry, her mother prayed for a lifetime, and Alice hadn't seen Fogner respond to her even once. But the God of Doom has actually saved her life, even if she spends some time praying for him every day for the rest of her life, it seems reasonable.

Perhaps because she came alone to complete this risky task, Alice prayed for an extra long time that day, until she was exhausted and fell asleep. By the next day, she inquired about the location of Earl Rachel's mansion, and after walking around for a few days, she had an idea.

Although it is a noble house, it is not airtight. Someone in the kitchen delivers meat and dishes every day, and it’s not difficult to get mixed into the kitchen. She wandered around for a few days, and she really got in once, walked around in the kitchen and came out again.

It is too difficult to enter the front hall from the kitchen. I don't know how many servants I will encounter along the way. Alice was born as a mercenary, but she didn't care much about human life. If she is conspiring to assassinate, she can barely give it a try. But her purpose is not to assassinate, but to find objects, not something that can be done eagerly.

In fact, the best way is to get in as a maid. But this is easy to say but difficult to do: Earl Rachel is the local lord, and the servants in the mansion are all used to it. , Will not casually hire people of unknown origin, and although this matter is not in a hurry, Alice does not have a year or a half to spend here.

If you think about it this way, you still have to go in through the front door.

Alice inquired and inquired, and finally heard that, although Earl Rachel is not very interested in communication, the nearby squires and nobles, headed by him, always organize monthly gatherings. Such gatherings are usually hosted by the wife, and his wife is not here, and the mistresses are not the ones who can be on the table, so they simply invite the local socialites to receive the guests. And he himself only showed up at the beginning of the banquet, even if he did his duty as the host.

Alice's heart moved when she heard the news.

There is a play.
