Release that Witch - Chapter 551

[Chapter 542 The ill-fated journey]

“Sister, we’re here,” Cole Conde rushed into the cabin excitedly.

“I’ve told you twice, don’t call me sister on this trip,” Edith glanced up at him, “Have you forgotten?”

“No…” Cole trembled all over, “No, I remember.”

“Then who am I?”

“I, my clerk, Lady Edith.”

“And you?”

“Father… No, the ambassador sent by Calvin Kant, Duke of the North.”

“Very good, remember not to make a third mistake.” Edith stood up, moved her stiff hands and feet, and walked out of the cabin, “Call all the envoys, and let’s go to the inner city.”

This is a little trick that Edith usually plays. She always likes to observe her negotiating partner behind the scenes, get a preliminary impression before negotiating, in addition to being able to plan ahead, it can also give the other party a sense of freshness.

If the target is a man, there is a high chance that he will be interested in himself.

She has never shy away from her identity as a woman, but instead regards it as a kind of communication advantage.

Since it has the title of the Pearl of the North, naturally it cannot be wasted.

“Then… where’s the head?”

“Of course it’s on the boat first. Could it be that you still want to carry that thing into the bedroom?” She curled her lips, “The two of them already stink.”

Walking down the trestle, Edith noticed that there were a lot of boats in the canal, and a lot of people gathered on the pier. Most of them were carrying bags, and they looked neither like slaves nor businessmen.

This made her quite curious. Except for the above two categories, very few people would travel far during the spring plowing season.

She recruited a follower, “Go and ask where they plan to go.”

“What does this have to do with us?” Cole asked puzzled.

“Since Roland Wimbledon has occupied this city, he will always promulgate some new policies to declare his authority. This can also reflect his temperament from the side, and of course it has something to do with us.” Edith smiled, ” In addition, you can also spend a few gold dragons and ask the mouse to help you collect it, but I prefer the information I heard with my own ears.”

“Yes, is that so…”

“Look and think more, Mr. Ambassador,” she said, “This is a rare opportunity.”

After entering the city gate, the number of pedestrians on the street suddenly increased. Simple street stalls were placed on both sides of the road, and merchants shouted for their products, shouting and selling one after another.

Edith came to the capital with her father to attend the coming-of-age ceremony of the five princesses a few years ago. The city has not changed much from the image in her memory, and it is still very lively.

If you are in Eternal Night City, if it is not a festival or a celebration, you will definitely not see the scene of crowds surging.

Suddenly, a speaker on the street attracted her attention.

“Wait for a while,” Edith told the team to stop, and led Cole to the gathered crowd.

“Can you saw wood? Can you lay gray bricks? Can you take care of cattle and sheep? As long as you have a skill, it is the talent that His Majesty Roland needs! Go to the Western Region, where His Majesty is building a new royal capital – Neverwinter City! You guys Your talents will bring you rich rewards!”

talent?

Edith thought about it for a while, but it was an interesting statement… But what does the new king mean?

Neverwinter?

Is there such a city in the west?

After walking dozens of steps forward, there was another circle of people.

“Witches are innocent, this is the confession written by the high priest before his execution,” another preacher waved the instrument in his hand, “They may be your relatives, your daughters, your sisters! If you still If you are afraid of them, send them to Neverwinter! There, they will receive meticulous care, and if you are not willing to leave them behind, you can go with them! Your Majesty promised that the witch’s family will get a shelter from the wind and rain. decent homes and decent jobs!”

“The high priest was executed?” Cole’s eyes widened.

Edith frowned. If this was Roland Wimbledon’s New Deal, it would be a bit too ostentatious.

Isn’t he afraid of incurring thunderous revenge from the church? That is not a battle between nobles, but an endless war of heresy.

I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse to be loyal to such a king.

It took half an hour to walk through this street leading directly to the inner city, and she found that there were such preachers everywhere along the way, almost compiling and repeating all the things His Majesty did after conquering the king’s capital. People in Beijing can understand these changes clearly by listening to them on the street for a long time, without even looking for mice.

“My lord, I have asked everything clearly,” the attendant who was ordered to inquire about the news caught up with the team panting, “They are all preparing to go to—”

“It’s from Neverwinter, right?” Edith interrupted.

“You… know everything?”

“Let’s not look for the hotel yet, let’s go to the palace to deliver the messenger’s documents,” she had a faint premonition in her heart, “Now, hurry up!”

…

“What did you say?” Cole asked in surprise, “His Majesty Roland has been away from the capital for a week? Didn’t the enthronement ceremony take place?”

“That’s what the receptionist said,” the attendant reported. “Originally His Majesty left a chief minister named Barov Mons to take care of the affairs, but he also left the capital yesterday. Now there is nothing in the palace except Except for the servants, no one lives there. The receptionist also said that if you want to negotiate with the city hall, he can pass it on to you.”

“No need,” Edith said coldly.

She didn’t expect her premonition to come true, and she ran all the way without stopping, but in the end she was in vain—Roland really planned to move the capital, leaving this wonderful city behind, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.

com Go to the west to rebuild a new city!

What is going on in his head?

You must know that a city of this size cannot be completed without a construction period of 30 to 40 years!

“What should we do?” Cole asked in a low voice, looking at the members of the envoys who were in a daze behind him.

With a sullen face, she opened her mouth after a while, “Turn around and go back to the pier, we’re going to Neverwinter too!”

“He’s already gone anyway, so there’s no need for us to hurry,” Cole said with a bitter face, “I haven’t showered for a week, and I feel like I’m about to get lice.

Edith turned her head and sniffed the collar, and also smelled a strange smell.

She finally sighed, “Then find a hotel to rest for the night, and set off tomorrow morning.”

However, when the messenger group arrived at the pier the next day, they found that their ship had been burned to the bone.

“What’s going on here?” Edith felt for the first time that her head was not enough.

“Ahem, don’t be angry, sister—Ms. Edith, you have to watch more, think more…” Cole waved his hand to attract a passerby, “Could there be a fire at the pier?”

“Ah, what are you talking about,” the other party explained enthusiastically, “I don’t know who the hell stole the corpse on the boat, and the smell was smelled by the stealing rats. You don’t know, everyone is very sensitive to this thing, after all Half a year ago, an evil plague broke out in the city, which was caused by the corpses scattered by the church. In short, the only way to deal with this thing is to set it on fire. The captain has already been arrested by the guards for interrogation, why, do you know him?”

Edith didn’t know what expression to use to answer for a moment, and it took a long time before she could say, “Thank you, I don’t know.”

It seems that she has to find a new boat again, she thought, maybe this trip of allegiance will not be as smooth as she imagined… right?
