The boring life of the white devil

"If it is true that the Ministry of Justice has fallen into the Chrisman group, strict security may be tightened in three days. So, our last day is only tomorrow." Soleichuan opened the curtains of the carriage. It is now At noon, the dazzling sun was hanging in the sky, "Okay, let's find a place to eat first."

Soleichuan opened the curtain separating the front and the driver's seat again, "Marcus, go to a lively place. Aicilia and I are going to have lunch. When you get there, you can go back today. We will meet by ourselves in the evening." Going back."

Marcus nodded, "Yes, sir."

Then Marcus turned the horse's head and changed the route that was supposed to go to Cooktern Mansion to Freya Avenue.It is the busiest street within the Second City Wall, with a dazzling array of shops, restaurants, flower shops, bars, and other things that can attract people to gather there.

It is also the place where young men and women in the city most often choose to go when dating. It is known as the street that breeds love.

Carriages or other vehicles are not allowed to pass on Freya Avenue. This 40-meter-wide road is specially prepared for pedestrians. It takes several hours to complete the four-kilometer Freya Avenue. .

After Soleichuan got out of the car, he watched the carriage slowly move away, walked into Freya Avenue with Icilia, and then whispered to her, "In the worst case scenario, even Marcus may not be able to trust."

Aicilia could only smile and say, "Your circle is really in chaos. If the situation gets worse, maybe even I won't be able to believe it."

"If that day does come, it can't be described as terrible."

Aicilia has been Soleichuan's spiritual support for a long time. The lonely Soleichuan would not believe in any human being who was unexpected by himself. He was sensitive, fragile and untouchable.

"What about Ai Fuluo's prison robbery? I'm afraid Marcus also heard about it. Should it be changed to tonight?"

Soleichuan stepped into Freya Avenue. The huge crowd inside made Soleichuan tremble. "Hey, how can human beings reproduce to such a large extent? It's really scary."

The sidewalk is already 40 meters wide, but the streets are still crowded with all kinds of human beings with all kinds of expressions.

There are couples licking ice cream with a handsome man on their arm, there is also a young man wandering around alone, there are also middle-aged women looking for bargains in major stores...

"Brother, brother!" Suddenly a little girl ran up next to Suoleichuan, and her sweet voice called out to him, making the bones in his body soften.

I saw the little girl holding a flower basket in her hand with some white roses in it. She said coquettishly to Soleichuan, "Big sister must be the eldest brother's girlfriend. Please give eldest sister a bouquet of flowers to express your love." .Each flower only costs ten copper coins, it’s very cheap, big brother, just buy some.”

Suoleichuan knew that white roses were used as funeral flowers in some areas, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.The little girl was dressed quite cleanly. She was not like the young children he had encountered who were forced to sell things. It could be seen that she was a little girl with a normal family life.

"How much does this basket cost?" It was Aicilia who bent down and asked the little girl, using a very rare gentle expression.

There are about a dozen flowers in the basket, not too dense, but scattered sparsely.

The little girl counted, then flexed her fingers a few times, and licked her lips happily, "A total of two silver coins are needed plus... thirty copper coins." In fact, she didn't count clearly at all, she just casually said Said a price.

"This is for you." Aicilia took out three silver coins and stuffed them into the little girl's hands, then took the flower basket and smelled it, "It's really a nice-smelling tweed."

"Thank you, big sister!" The little girl took the silver coins and left immediately, running towards a small alley.

However, the sound of several children laughing immediately came from the alley.

"Look, look, I sold the white rose so quickly! You lost the bet!" This was the voice of the little girl just now, she was speaking loudly and unscrupulously.

Then the voice of a little boy responded, "You idiot, you idiot! White roses are given to dead people! That big brother must hate you to death!"

Then came the voice of another little boy, "Don't worry about it so much. Look, there are three silver coins this time. Go to the Pooh Cake Shop! You will definitely be able to buy limited edition ice cream this time!"

Then there was no sound and they left merrily.

"I didn't expect that you would occasionally show such a gentle, kind and loving big sister side." This is what Soleichuan wanted to say just now, but after only a few words, he swallowed those words after hearing the conversation. "Na...Acilia..."

When he wanted to say something comforting, he saw Aicilia shaking obviously, "Soleichuan, are all people in the imperial capital like this?"

"This is just a kid's prank..." Soleichuan didn't dare to say it, he just thought in his heart, and what he said was, "Don't be angry, don't be angry... Look, we are now There will be no shortage of these few silver coins." It was also poor language.

Those children may find it very interesting to use their innocent appearance to deceive and tease adults, but in fact, such things have deeply hurt Aicilia's self-esteem. As an upright knight in the empire, But he didn't see through the children's tricks, and no matter what he said, he would feel that his pride had been humiliated.

"Soleichuan, this empire has become corrupt, and we must speed up the pace of change."

"Eh?"

"When something begins to rot from the inside, there is only reform. It seems that this country needs a revolution!" Although Aicilia spoke very excitedly, in fact, only Soleichuan could hear her words. No one else will pay attention to her.

"Hey! Wait a minute, Aicilia, you have to calm down, don't make such dangerous conclusions just because of this kind of thing!" Soleichuan was worried about Aicilia's mental state, and even more worried for your own personal safety.

"So," Aicilia turned her head to Soleichuan with a look of displeasure, "The first fund to realize the revolution requires you to sell this basket of flowers within two hours. It must be more than ten Silver coins, that’s what.”

After handing the basket to Soleichuan, she suddenly smiled again.

Chapter 25 Old-fashioned names

Of course, Soleichuan was very obedient, holding a basket of white roses in the center of the crowd and shouting, "Flowers are sold, flowers are sold."

Aicilia was sitting in a cafe on the side, enjoying coffee and cake, looking at Soleichuan's funny look.

But after all, he is now a popular imperial hero in the empire, and someone will recognize him immediately.

"Isn't that the hero of the empire, Lord Cooktern? Why are you selling flowers here?"

"It's probably something like understanding the sentiments of the people."

"Maybe, I should go to the front line to kill those Naren scum soon."

People started talking immediately.

Then, someone immediately rushed over and exchanged the white rose in Soleichuan's hand for the price of one gold coin.

Suoleichuan could only sigh that this identity was really convenient.

Since most of the people in the royal city lived with status, there were no onlookers. Everyone just looked at the imperial hero with admiration while walking.

"I thought I would have to stand there for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be sold all at once. It was actually the price of one gold coin. I wanted to give him change, but I was sternly refused. Now, Aicilia, if we go to open a If you're a small shop or something like that, you can definitely make a lot of money with the title Hero of the Empire!"

"I think if you don't go to the Southern Front within seven days, you may be discredited and burned in the square, right?" Icilia mixed the coffee with a small spoon. The sugar had already been completely dissolved. This was just An action to pass the time.

"Yes... I will also be tied to a cross... and then burned..." Soleichuan looked thoughtful.

Then Aicilia gave her a hard slap on the forehead and said, "Are you thinking about something hopeless again? The first thing now is to think about how to rescue Ai Fuluo."

"Yes, there are still many things that have to be done." He sighed, and there was no way to stop. Even if he wanted to say that he didn't want to continue, there was no way to stop.

Seeing that all the plates and cups he saw were empty, Soleichuan stood up and looked for the waiter to pay.

"Mr. Cooktern, you are now the object of worship in the hearts of the people of the entire empire. Another gentleman who passed by just checked out for you." The server said with a smile.

It's really quite convenient.

However, human admiration and hatred are so easy to switch.

The deepest love will also hurt. If he does not perform meritorious service on the southern battlefield in a few months, I am afraid that he will really be tied to a wooden frame and sent to the fire by the imperial people as he said before, because he himself is A demon.Naming him a hero of the empire is just to hope that this demon can become the protector of the empire, nothing more.

What they worship is not Soleichuan as a person, but as an imperial hero.

After that, Soleichuan and Aicilia ate in a restaurant, and some kind-hearted people who passed by also helped pay the bill.

"Ah, it would be great if life could be as leisurely as today." Suoleichuan stretched as he was about to walk out of the restaurant.

When the waiter smiled and opened the door for him to pass, he bumped into an unflattering face.

"Hey, Lord Cooktern, were you and Icilia leisurely having a love affair here? It is true that even as an empire hero, he needs the company of a beautiful woman, but be careful not to indulge in it too much, otherwise your heart will become rotten. . But if you think about it this way, if you just wander around leisurely all day long, you won't become like Duke Aiflor. I thought he was a good young man, but I didn't expect..."

He didn't expect to meet Chrisman in a place like this. Soleichuan only exchanged pleasantries and left the restaurant. He didn't want to talk to the old man at all.Now just seeing that face makes me feel sick.

"Why did Xiliman come to a place like this?" Aicilia asked Soleichuan after going out. "He was wearing black casual clothes, and he didn't have any guards around him. It should be possible that he was with Some secret person wants to meet."

This is Freya Avenue, a place where young people gather and spend money. In these days, when the status of conservatives and radicals within the empire is being decided, how can they come out and wander around.

"Before that, Aicilia, there is actually something that I am very concerned about." Soleichuan suddenly said seriously.

"what?"

"The name Empire Hero is so unpleasant..."

"Are you just discovering it now... Please don't protest against different aesthetics against people 300 years ago."

Then they planned to follow Chrisman and sit in the resting seats on the road at a distance.

But the attire of the knights and military officers was too obvious, and the combination of white and red hair was easily recognized by people at a glance, as could be seen from the constant glances of the people passing by.

So before Chrisman went out again, Soleichuan and Aicilia decided to take turns shopping for clothes. If they went together, they might get lost or miss the details.

Suoleichuan quickly bought it and chose a very ordinary windbreaker and a gray gentleman's hat.

But Aecilia was gone and almost never came back.

Soleichuan could only lie down on the chair by himself, and then stared closely at the glass window of the restaurant.Chrisman did not order food, but ordered a cup of tea first, sat quietly inside, and then looked out the window intentionally or unintentionally.Judging from the situation, he is indeed waiting for someone to come to meet him.

Could it be that Chrisman is unwilling to give up in his old age and continues to date young girls to rejuvenate his youth in his later years?When thinking of this, Soleichuan was amused by this. According to Chrisman's status, countless young and beautiful girls should come to his door just sitting at home. There is no need to go out to high-end restaurants. Play with emotions.

When he started to yawn, he realized that a young girl had indeed entered his field of vision. Unfortunately, she was not beautiful. She even looked a little slovenly. Her dress was incompatible with the gentlemen and ladies around her. She felt like a country woman from outside the royal city. .

But this face was very familiar to Soleichuan because he had just met it a few hours ago.More importantly, under the messy golden hair, there is an overly obvious black eyepatch, which is extremely inconsistent with his young appearance.

Fiona Goulard—Captain of the Imperial Library Patrol Team.

Soleichuan felt that it was definitely not a coincidence that she came to a place like this.

It was no coincidence that she entered the restaurant where Chrisman was and then chose to sit down opposite him.

Chapter 26 Really not a stalker

I saw Fiona pull down the chair opposite Chrisman and sit down.

Soleichuan became curious. If the two of them were doing something for some reason, then it would be too fair to meet them openly.Even if meeting formally can reduce the element of sneakiness, it is unthinkable if certain key words are accidentally heard.

Could it be that... Fiona is Chrisman's illegitimate daughter...?

Soleichuan forgot what Chrisman's last name was, but it was definitely not Gulade, which meant that there was only the possibility that Fiona was an illegitimate daughter.

Before Chrisman could say anything, he took out a bag from his pocket and threw it on the table.

Because it was completely impossible to see their mouth shapes and hear their voices, Soleichuan could only dub based on vague expressions and his own imagination.

"Here, this is this month's living expenses. It's not easy for me as the Speaker of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I have to secretly support your mother and daughter's living expenses every month. Is your mother okay?"

Fiona took the paper bag and put it into her own bag, which was a very rustic yellow cloth bag.

"There is no need for a heartless man like you to ask how my mother is doing, but I still accepted the money. But this money is not enough at all. Give me some more, you bastard old man."

When Chrisman saw Fiona's unhappy face, he also showed an unhappy expression. The two seemed to have some verbal disputes.

"You stupid girl, be good to me. After all, I'm your daddy too!"

Chrisman slapped the table.

Then Fiona suddenly threw the paper bag towards Chrisman.

"I'd better return your dirty money to you! My mother and I can just use our hard-earned money to live!"

Fiona then ran out of the restaurant.

A voice came from behind Soleichuan, "Then what? What are you doing with your stupid talk?"

When I first looked back, it looked like a flame elf standing under the sun. The crimson dress seemed to be integrated into one thing, without any sense of disharmony.

Soleichuan pointed to Chrisman in the restaurant, and then Fiona, who had already left quickly.

"I think Fiona may be Chrisman's illegitimate daughter." Soleichuan judged.

"So you're dubbing their conversation just now?" Aicilia showed a disgusted expression.

Suddenly, Aicilia heard unusual fluctuations in the air, and three darts flew over them.

Aicilia waved her hand and three lightning arrows shot down the target.

When people on Freya Avenue saw this scene, many women screamed, and the scene immediately became chaotic.

Neither Soleichuan nor Aicilia went out with weapons, and they never thought that someone would attack in broad daylight.

Aicilia took out a coin and quickly counterattacked. When she knocked the coin into the dark street, she didn't hear any reaction.It wasn't that Aicilia's movements were slow or that she didn't aim properly. She did sense the presence of someone there in an instant and attacked immediately.However, the opponent is faster than me, and Iacilia's lightning and coins are faster.

In an instant, there were about a dozen men in black standing around Soleichuan and Aicilia. They had their hair and faces all wrapped in black cloth, only their eyes were exposed, and they all held small daggers in their hands. .

"Now, Aicilia, with the two of us, what is the success rate of defeating them?" Soleichuan was not able to judge this kind of strength comparison.

"Almost zero." Individually, their strength might not be as good as Aicilia's, but no matter what, a dozen or so would be too many.

The level of the person who came to assassinate him at Cooktern Mansion was much different.

"Then run away!" Soleichuan made a quick decision.

Aicilia admired, "Is this the combined version of the Empire Hero and the Demon King?"

But Soleichuan said so, but there was no way to escape, and those people seemed to be faster than himself, so escaping was not advisable.

"What are you trying to do by making such a commotion in the royal city?"

Soleichuan and Aicilia were leaning against each other, and suddenly saw Chrisman slowly walking out of the restaurant, and left along the street as if he didn't notice what was going on here.And those men in black were also staring closely at their goals, and the others didn't care at all.

Soon everyone around here had fled. The men in black did not rush forward in a swarm. Four people from two diagonal lines rushed in first.Perhaps this was done to prevent Soleichuan or Aicilia from taking the opportunity to escape from the siege during the melee, while several people were waiting outside.
