She Chooses To Destroy the World
Chapter 90: Road meets thieves.
That night, Alice returned to her temporary guest room to rest for one night, and was ready to set off the next day.
The Archmage Talus did not do much to retain, but quickly appointed a man and a woman two mages to accompany her back. These two mages are both red-haired Flamel, although they have not yet reached the level of a great mage, they are also very good mentors in the tower, and they are very famous throughout the east. They are all confidants of Archmage Talus, and they are perfect as messengers. The Archmage Talus explained to them the purpose of this trip, in addition to serving as a messenger to negotiate with the king, but also to protect Alice's safety.
Alice felt that this was unnecessary, but judging from the expressions of the two mages, it was obvious that they would take the tower master's request seriously.
Mages are usually not good at riding horses, and Archmage Talus provided a carriage for this trip. Unlike the last time the Archmage Talus took Alice to meet the leader of the Necromancer, this carriage is specially prepared for long-distance travel. The carriage is large, the seats are comfortable, and there is room for a lot of luggage. There is Flamel outside the door. Mark of the mage tower. Although Alice is more accustomed to riding a horse, now that there is a comfortable carriage to sit in, she also followed it to enjoy it.
The way back was much smoother than when it came. In the east, anyone who saw the carriage with the Frammel Tower logo would give way, so their speed was much faster than Alice before on horseback. When it came time to stay at night, the two masters chose the most expensive hotel, and casually covered an entire floor.
Although there was no need for Alice to pay out of her pocket on this journey, hearing the numbers reported by the innkeeper made Alice feel painful. When she vaguely reminded the two wizards that there were only three of them, and maybe there was no need to book half of the hotel. Violetta, the female of the two wizards, replied:
"Your Excellency the Tower Master has instructed that you are a guest of Flammel, and you must receive the highest standard of reception. It is said that the entire hotel should be covered by a three-person trip. However, in recent years, the Grand Master Talles has always asked us to travel. The time should not be too ostentatious, but to provide convenience for other travelers. So this is only half of the room. If you think there is any inconvenience, it is better to cover the whole room, right?"
Alice shook her head hurriedly, never mentioning things that are inappropriate for the second half of the hotel.
When it came time to check out, the wizards did not pay cash directly, but directly reported the name of the Frammel Tower, showed a special coat of arms to the innkeeper, and signed the name on the bill.
Alice was very curious about this payment method. When she asked, the male mage Ned explained to her a little bit:
"In fact, we usually pay cash directly when we go out, but this time it’s a business trip. In the eastern region, we can usually pay in this way. At the end of the year, the innkeeper will bring his bill to the Mage Tower. In short, this is the case. It can avoid carrying too much cash, which can reduce a lot of trouble. However, the name of the Frammel Mage Tower can only be effective in the east. After crossing the national border, you can't do this."
Alice asked:
"What if someone forges the mark of the mage tower and cheats by eating and drinking?"
Vioretta finished signing the bill given to her by the innkeeper, turned her head to look at Alice, and explained to her kindly:
"If anyone dares to take the name of the Frammel Mage Tower in the east, then he must not want to live anymore."
Their accommodation along the way has been handled in the same way, and it has been very smooth. When every innkeeper saw their red hair and Flamel's coat of arms, he respected them and gave them the best hospitality. Alice spent a few days with these two wizards, and gradually became acquainted with them, and became more relaxed.
The male mage named Ned is tall, looks a bit fierce, but has a gentle temper. No matter what Alice asks him, he will try his best to answer. Vioretta was a glamorous beauty, and Ned told Alice privately that many people had died at her hands.
"No one in the Mage Tower dared to offend her." Ned said solemnly, "but she is a student of the Arch Mage Talus, and has always been a very capable person under his staff."
They walked like this for several days and nothing happened. However, when they were only a day or two away from the border, they stayed in a relatively ordinary hotel. Alice slept until midnight and suddenly heard outside Some strange sounds came.
She had always been alert, and immediately opened the window to look out, only to see two wizards standing outside at this time, the tall Ned, clutching a young boy by the collar, almost picked him up.
"What's the matter?" Alice asked, holding up the candlestick.
Vioretta stood aside with her arms folded:
"This kid has followed us not long after we left the Mage Tower. We have a magic circle outside your window and have been waiting for him. No, I caught it."
Alice covered her face.
Recently, she has been really slow. When she was in the Mage Tower, she was always taken aback by the wizards. This may also be said to be that the wizards are too supernatural, but this little thief has been with them for so long and she hasn't noticed yet. ...I feel like there are no excuses at all.
"You don't need to be so demanding of yourself." Ned said, "We also found this guy with the anti-tracking magic circle on the carriage."
This gave Alice a little comfort.
"Wait a minute," she said, "I'll get down right away."
Alice hurriedly approved a dress and walked out of the hotel to the three of them. Holding the candlestick, she took a look at the thief's face and found that it was a teenager younger than herself.
The young thief was caught, not ashamed, not even afraid, and he laughed when he saw Alice:
"Hello, Miss Sister."
The tone of this voice seemed familiar. It seemed that I had heard it somewhere before, and it seemed that it was not the first time I saw this face. Alice looked at him up and down twice, and found that there seemed to be an enchanted dagger pinned around his waist, and the enchanted gems on the dagger were shining brightly.
Violetta saw Alice's eyes and immediately took the dagger from his waist and gave it to Alice for inspection.
It was so dark that Alice could not see the details on the dagger, but when the dagger returned to Alice's hands, she found that it felt very familiar...this thing used to be hers,
This is the enchanted dagger that was given to Alice by the tavern maid Lena and then stolen.
Alice raised the candlestick in her hand and illuminated the boy's face again. This time she recognized it:
"You are... that... Jill in Rachel's forest?"
The teenager grinned:
"Unexpectedly, Miss Sister still remembers my name. It's so happy."
"How will you be here?"
The boy shrugged:
"Actually, I don’t really want to see you, Miss Sister, but I’m unlucky. Not long after I met you last time, Earl Rachel sent troops to the forest to destroy us. I thought it was just normal. I just hid and went over. I didn't expect that this time the earl led the troops himself, and within a few days, we caught all of us. He was thrown into the dungeon after a casual interrogation.
"We lived in the dungeon for almost a year. A few days ago, the earl released me. Not only did he return the dagger and the horse, but he also gave me a sum of money. He said that he asked me to steal the young lady's body. A letter from. My companions are still locked up in the dungeon, there is no way but to listen to him.
"I wanted to steal the letter before you got to your destination, but Miss Sister, you walked too fast. I am not familiar with the road to the east. Stole and fooled around for a while. I didn’t think that the two wizards around you were too powerful, and they caught me. This time I fell into your hands again, Miss Sister, if I wanted to kill or kill you, as for my companions, They had no choice but to ask for their own blessings."
The boy named Jill looked like he didn't get in, showing that it didn't matter how others treated him. This is really annoying. Vioretta glanced at him coldly, drew a dagger and put it on his neck, then turned to ask Alice:
"Miss Alice, are you going to kill him?"
Alice thought for a while:
"If you kill him here, it seems a bit too wasteful. It's better to take it back and see what His Majesty wants to do with it."
"Alright." Violetta took the dagger, tied him with a rope, and said to Alice, "You thought I had too many rooms, you think you can use it— I will find an empty room to install this little guy. I will draw the magic circle and will not let him escape."
As Vioretta said this, she turned her head and gave Jill a special look. No matter who it is, I'm afraid it will shudder when receiving Vioretta's eyes. But this fellow Jill, can't say whether he is nervous or fearless, he is still laughing:
"I haven't met the king yet. It must be interesting."
He didn't seem to worry that Vioretta would really kill him.
After tossing these things, it was not a few hours before dawn. Alice took a deep sleep, ready to continue on the road. When it was time to check out, the boss seemed a little surprised to see that there was one more person, but he cautiously remained silent about Flammel's affairs and didn't say a word.
Ned pulled Jill by the collar and threw him into the wagon. Jill looked around and exclaimed:
"Tsk tut, this carriage is really good. The merchants in the north have never been so handsome."
How can ordinary merchants compare with the noble Flamel family. Vioretta glanced at him, took an old shoe-shining handkerchief in the corner and plugged the guy's mouth.
I have to say that after Jill's mouth was gagged, the world suddenly became a lot cleaner. Alice took advantage of this cleanness and began to think about her future schedule. She said to Vioretta:
"After arriving near the border tomorrow, I have a place I want to go."
Vioretta lowered her head to her:
"Miss Alice, please listen carefully."
