Pale Emblem

Chapter 96 The Tailor at Your Door

Victor was in a bad mood all day.Ruth and Jessica also stopped drawing his attention with their endless ruckus as usual, and became much quieter.They're just crazy, not stupid, and it's clear that Victor has the highest status in the group and can be taken care of if he pleases.Although they courted Victor in a different way, and they were often taught by him, it was better to be taught than to be ignored and abandoned.

This is what the two girls are most afraid of.

Victor explained that Ruth and Jessica's intelligence did not decline, and their cognitive abilities were limited and became extremely narrow, especially fear of unfamiliar environments and unfamiliar behaviors.Circumstances here do not refer to fixed locations, but to fixed partners and fixed partnerships.If one day, they break free from the prison of the soul, they may return to normal.

Maddie didn't quite understand this statement.He simply judged that Ruth and Jessica recognized their masters. They used to be the Hobgoblins who enslaved them, but now they are Victor.

They are like two little she-wolves, who please the wolf king Victor, oppress old wolves like Maddie and Harvey, and reject those outsiders who try to get close to this small group, whether it is half-elves or animals, they will be attacked by these two women. attack.

No matter how you look at it, Ruth and Jessica are complete lunatics, and only Victor regards them as "baby".And Maddie tried not to provoke them.To be honest, he detested Ruth and Jessica from the bottom of his heart.He had a hunch that if there were no accidents, these two crazy women would definitely surprise them collectively.

Today, Victor has been absent-minded, Ruth and Jessica deliberately broke several vases, and he did not teach them as usual.This instead made the two women quiet and followed him tearfully.Victor was walking back and forth, and they were just behind him holding the corners of his clothes; Victor sat down and thought, and they too were sitting at Victor's feet, hugging his legs, looking pitiful.

Maddie worries about Victor more than Ruth and Jessica.After all, Victor is also an amnesiac.No one knows what happened to him, but it is certain that the trouble he encountered was not as simple as being enslaved by a hobgoblin.

Strictly speaking, Victor's anomaly started last night when Harvey talked about Bertina, the wolf shepherd girl.Maddie could feel that Victor wanted to protect Bertina.Especially when it comes to the wolf shepherd girl's torture of the famous young master, Victor naturally defended Bertina, and seemed unwilling to accept the evaluation that the wolf shepherd girl was cruel.

Maddie was a little worried. He had never thought about a character like the wolf shepherd girl before. She made her way to the poor, entered the highland city alone, and retreated under the siege of many strong men. It was a character that only existed in legends. what.

A story is a story, and the characters in the story break into reality, not surprising, only frightening.

Although the wolf shepherd girl was very powerful, she was still forced back by the powerhouses of Fallen Leaves City.The Highland Famous sent the cruel punishment of cage torture because Bertina angered the residents of Island Street.There may not be any intention to draw out the wolf shepherd girl.

Whether it was unwillingness or inability, the wolf shepherd girl did not rescue the hundreds of poor people who had been tortured because of her, not even a single one.

The purpose of the famous highland door has been achieved, and no half-elf will dare to follow her and help her.Bertina was completely isolated and became a public enemy of the entire Dissa Alliance.

Anyone who has a relationship with the wolf shepherd girl will be executed by a famous family in the highlands, and the wolf shepherd girl is unlikely to rescue him.

It would be bad if Victor really had an unknown relationship with the notorious wolf girl.The trouble that the wolf shepherd girl brings is a natural disaster.In comparison, the troubles of Ruth and Jessica were not even troubles.

Of course, this kind of thing is too far away from Maddie.It's rare that Ruth and Jessica didn't make trouble today, and Harvey went to the Black Pig Tavern again to trade with thieves.Maddie decided to practice breathing again.

This breathing method was specially taught to Maddie by Victor when he was in the wild, in order to relieve the syncope symptoms of the Curse of Cold Heart.Although McGrady's breathing method is still in the experimental stage, it does have an effect.After a period of practice, Maddie's normal actions are no longer troubled by the curse of cold heart.He held his breath, and before the breath was exhausted, he could still fight fiercely to restore the true strength of a fourth-level secret hunter, about 12 seconds.If the breath runs out, the Curse of Coldheart will strike immediately.

This was already an unexpected surprise.McGrady spends a lot of time practicing breathing every day, hoping to maximize his fighting time.

He was just about to practice when there was a knock on the door outside the house downstairs.

"Is this Mr. Harvey's residence?"

Ruth and Jessica turned their faces at the same time, and their expressions became a little scary.

Maddie quickly got up and went downstairs, walked quickly to the door, opened the door to dodge out, and whispered to the two visitors standing outside the door, "What are you doing?"

The visitor did not expect that the tenant of this house would run outside the door to ask questions. He couldn't help but take a step back and stammered: "I... I am a tailor from Water Snake Town. Mr. Harvey just found mine. The shop, they said they wanted me to come and make a few sets of clothes for you. So I…”

Maddie narrowed his eyes, his eyes sharp like knives, looking up and down the visitor who claimed to be a tailor.

This is a short little old man.He looks about 60 years old, with all white eyebrows, a round bald face, and well-dressed, no calluses on his hands that have formed from gripping weapons over the years.

Behind the little old man was a little girl of eleven or twelve years old.She has red hair and gray eyes, her face is ordinary, and her nose has the most common freckles at this age. She wears a half-worn gray maid's dress, of course, a small one, holding a small round stool in one hand, and the other in the other. Carrying a small suitcase in his hand, he was looking at Maddie curiously.

"This is my assistant, she's still a child..." the little old man explained nervously.

Maddie realizes the tailor's misunderstanding by staring at the little girl.In fact, he only looks like a middle-aged man because of the physical fitness of a fourth-level professional and the long-term use of expensive secret medicine.His actual age may be older than the little old tailor, and he has long lost interest in women.The reason is probably related to the female warriors of the Hemo tribe.

In short, Maddie has no other meaning.The agility of the little girl drew extra attention from the stalker, but there was no need to explain it to outsiders.

"Oh, tailor... yes, we need to make a few suits." Maddie coughed and said.

The little old man tried to ask, "Don't we need to go in? Or do you just take the measurements here and call out all the guests inside?"

"Go in, of course you have to go in. It's getting dark, how do you measure the measurements outside?" Maddie paused, then continued: "However, the two ladies inside are a bit special. They don't like meeting strangers very much, maybe... ...I mean maybe, they're going to hit people, so be careful and don't provoke them, okay?"

The tailor understood, the two ladies were crazy, or the kind who liked to hit people.Not to mention how regretful he is in his heart now, he knew that he shouldn't take this business, but there are some things he has to do, and he can only hope that the lunatic inside will not use any deadly weapons.

"Okay. But I want you to take control of the situation," the tailor asked politely.

"Don't worry, if they hit you or bite you, we will compensate." Maddie nodded, opened the door and made an inviting gesture, "Please come in."

Up to now, the tailor can only bite the bullet and go inside, and the little girl he brought is not only not timid, but also has a look of eagerness to try.Maddie watched her nimble footsteps from behind and nodded secretly.

This is indeed a rare good seedling.

After closing the door, Maddie shouted upstairs, "Victor, the tailor Harvey hired is here..." Before he could finish speaking, the two women roared and rushed down...

With the tailor and the little girl screaming for help, Maddie's scolding and blocking, and the sound of pottery breaking, the room was in chaos.

Victor controlled the situation in a very short time, and the living room was full of messes.

"I just got careless." He grabbed a woman with one hand and said angrily.

The tailor hiding under the table cried out, "Sir, I'm not doing this business. Can we go?"

"Don't, their madness broke out for a while. It's all right now.... Come out." Maddie persuaded, looked up at the little girl who was sucking on the ceiling chandelier, and asked gently: "Little guy, Do you need me to pick you up?"

"You promise they won't bite me, I can come down by myself." The little girl on the chandelier said in a crisp voice.

Victor was surprised by the little girl's agility and reaction speed, looked up and said, "I promise."

With a "pop", the little girl landed firmly on the table.And the tailor under the table also crawled out tremblingly. He hugged his forehead and whispered, "It's too scary, why can't you tie them with iron chains?"

Ruth and Jessica clearly understood this sentence, and they tried to attack the little old tailor again, only to be hugged by Victor's waist. Kick.

"Don't fool around!" Victor scolded sternly.

In fact, Ruth and Jessica were still very beautiful when they were quiet, but when they were mad, their expressions were grim and their brows were angry. No one would think they were beautiful.

Scary is real.

It is almost impossible for tailors and little girls to see and remember their true faces.

"Sorry to surprise you. I'll lose money now." Maddie immediately put his hand into the purse.He spent a long time and couldn't find any change, so he could only take out a gold coin and stuff it into the tailor, emphasizing: "I will pay you five silver pagodas, and the extra money will be included in the cost of making clothes."

After getting the gold, the little old man regained his calmness and confidence as a tailor. He took the initiative to introduce: "I am Meepo from Water Snake Town. My friends call me 'tape measure'. I have 30 years of tailoring experience. You can trust me I can satisfy customers no matter what style of clothes I wear.” He paused, then pointed to the little girl and said, “Her name is Stephanie...an apprentice I just accepted. Because, Mr. Harvey said There are two ladies who also need custom dresses. I just brought her in for the ladies. But..."

"I'll measure for them, don't bother this little girl." Victor said knowingly.

Meepo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's fine, that's fine."

After another tossing, tailor Meepo finally got the size of the guest. Before he left, he said to Victor: "Sir, you are very tall and your body proportions are perfect. I may make clothes for you. It takes more time."

Victor was wearing a set of old clothes given to him by the armed caravan, the largest size, but it was awkward to wear on him, which seriously reduced his charm and looked very weird.

New clothes are a must.As for their height, waist circumference, arm span and other dimensions are controlled by tailors, they have not thought about this aspect.And drawing is also a skill that an old tailor must master.

"How long will it take?" Victor asked.

Meepo thought for a while and replied, "Four days at the fastest, but you have to pay extra. You know, I'm going to push other customers' orders back, which will be a hassle for me. Not all customers are so talkative. …”

Victor nodded and said, "Yes, add another gold coin to him."

"Sir, you are very generous. I will try to speed up...and of course, to your satisfaction."
