Chapter 444 How Can You Let Others See It?

Looking at the setting sun outside the window, Felicia sat on the bed and stretched lazily.

It's about time.

She got up and went downstairs to the workshop on the first floor. Next to the steaming forge, Clothes and Hannah were communicating intently and quickly.

It’s not that easy after all.

She walked behind the two people who were in an endless state and pulled Clothy up.

"Okay, it's time. Going back too late will make that guy worry."

"Eh?!" Clothy was surprised, "But we just talked about the key part..."

"You can only fool laymen with your words," Felicia said calmly, with one hand on her waist. "There is nothing unimportant when researchers discuss something. You can't finish talking about it even if you stay here for three days and three nights."

She even wondered out of boredom whether Rowe had asked her to come here just to ask Clothes to go home on time.

"Let's go, see you next time."

Without saying a word, she pulled Clothes, who was taller than her. Hannah behind her paused for a few seconds and suddenly called out to her.

"Felicia, wait a minute!"

"I'll give you five seconds to say goodbye."

"No, wait for me, I'll be back in a minute!"

Hannah hurried past the two of them and ran out. Felicia had no intention of waiting for her there, and was stopped by Hannah, who returned panting, at the door of the workshop.

In her hands she held a heavy-looking metal box.

"for you."

Felicia took it in her hand, and it seemed a little too heavy for a half-dwarf's arm.

But she could naturally recognize that the light flowing between those metal patterns was the light that only magic technology could produce.

"what is this?"

"My teacher gave it to me before he left for his long journey," Hannah propped herself up and wiped the sweat off her face. "He said if I could unlock the secret of the box, the things inside would be mine."

"Then why give it to me?" Felicia looked at her in confusion.

Master Schmidt von Krutosh, the leader of the Three Great Magicians, was undoubtedly the greatest magic researcher on the continent in the past three hundred years. In his later years, after creating several works including the Fifth Princess's battleship Sky Wing, he went out to travel alone. Since then, no news about the teacher has been heard. The only speculation is that he went to the far East.

But no matter what, what Mr. Schmidt left behind is definitely not that simple.

"Actually, the teacher's exact words are 'whoever can unlock it gets it'," Hannah sighed. "You can see that I want to do everything just like Clothes. I learned magic technology on a whim. Instead of leaving this thing here as a stepping stone, it's better to give it to someone who can unlock it."

"You used the teacher's things as a stepping stone?" Felicia's eyes became noticeably sharp.

"Isn't this... quite suitable to be placed next to the bed? I thought maybe I could figure it out with a flash of inspiration before going to bed," Hannah smiled awkwardly. "But I'm afraid that's too naive. The structure inside can't be unlocked by luck alone. If there is anyone in this world who can figure it out, it's probably you who is now as famous as the teacher."

Felicia held the box and sighed deeply.

It is not difficult to imagine that when this guy got the box, he must have been thinking about how to unlock it every day before he went to sleep. But after a while, his attention was attracted by other things and he just put it beside the bed and ignored it.

"I see. If I open it, I'll tell you what's inside."

"Then..." Clothes took the opportunity to sneak into the workshop.

"Don't even think about it." Felicia grabbed her with a magic mechanical arm that stretched out from her sleeve. "Whatever research I do does not conflict with taking you back."

Being dragged onto the street, Chloe, with a look of reluctance on her face, backed away and waved goodbye to Hannah who came out.

She was probably making that dress for Vimir as well.

Felicia withdrew her gaze, walked with the box in her hand on the crowded street of the Artisan District, and slowly looked down.

Is this why you asked me to come here?

……

Melendell, the aristocratic district of Upper Town.

"I should have said it before. I don't want to hear the name of that civilian swordsman again."

Lucas, dressed in prince's casual clothes, stood by the window. Behind him was Scarlett, who came in to report to him and covered her face with the veil again.

"We made a wrong judgment before," she said seriously, "The opponent is more dangerous than we thought. It's not an exaggeration to regard him as 'that person' before he gained power."

that person.

Lucas's expression changed, but he didn't respond.

"If I remember correctly," Scarlett continued, "Prime Minister Randall's original background was also..."

"You went to see him today, right?" Lucas suddenly said coldly.

Scarlett opened her eyes, but soon understood and lowered her head in fear.

"So what did you learn from him," Lucas turned towards her, his eyes cold, "going shopping with four women after the trial, is this what you want to report to me?"

"No, I'm not..."

"That's enough." Lucas interrupted her coldly. "Lion Court is a kingdom of glory. I have never heard of such a person as you said, and the citizens will not agree with him. There are also beautiful women in the lower city. The so-called Hermits have never claimed to protect their safety. Do they encounter accidents all the time in a place with chaotic order? He forgets his duty when he sees a woman and starts to have wild thoughts in his mind. I can't understand how such a person can be born in the soil of Lion Court."

Scarlett pursed her lips, unable to refute.

She didn't know what kind of relationship he had with those girls, but it was hard to understand why he put aside his duties and took them out to eat, drink and have fun at such an important moment after the trial.

To the people in this world, he seemed too different, which was probably why she was interested.

It's not that the people don't have desires, but most of the time, the brothels that can be seen everywhere offer very low prices, and the workers are recognized by the kingdom as a legitimate profession, which further reduces this view. If you do the right thing, you should go to the right place. When the peasants see the noble women, they often think that they want to be born in such a family in the next life, how much harvest they need to afford such a dress, or they dream about how their children can live such a life one day in the future. Unless they are forced to the point of self-destruction and desperation, no one will casually have vulgar fantasies about women on the street. As for the nobles...some of them show off by raising slaves, and the price is often high. The orcs are the best example.

Come to think of it...it seems like I've never seen him go to a place like this before.

"Mercenaries who won't see the next day in the neutral zone, noble maggots who have suffered severe psychological trauma since childhood and dare not see people, itinerant priests on the edge of church control," Lucas looked at her, "Do you want to remind me who are the people who were convicted because of women?"

"……No."

"I don't need you to instill these evil ideas in me. People like this who appear in Lion Garden are evil demons," Lucas said, ashamed to be associated with them. "If the world is destined to be destroyed, it will definitely be destroyed by people like him and women."

"..."

Scarlett was speechless.

It was indeed her fault that she did not understand the other party's intentions and failed to see the essence of the matter.

"As for what you said before," Lucas' eyes were filled with anger, "Even if the Ospod family had fallen in the past, they were still nobles of the Lion Court. You actually compared a lowly person with dirty thoughts in his head with the prime minister. Could it be that you women were also fooled by him and made the mistake of which side you should stand on?"

Lucas reminded her in a deep voice: "When you slaughter your adoptive father's family, don't forget who took you in, Scarlett." Scarlett lowered her head.

"...Yes, I'll keep it in mind."

Lucas didn't look at her and walked straight towards the door in the corridor.

"Since you know who you are serving, help me win the support of the remaining nobles in the Western Territory," he said, stopping at the door. "If Lovely wants to curry favor, let her go. Military power is the key to victory. When I take control of the entire Western Territory, even the prime minister will not be able to exclude me."

He glanced disdainfully before leaving.

"Because I'll let everyone know—"

"Who is the next legitimate king of Lion Garden?"

Scarlett didn't raise her head until the second prince left, and the advice that Lovey Brook gave her today flashed through her mind unconsciously.

"Don't stop him before he makes an irreversible decision."

"..."

Her expression became slightly hesitant.

to him.

What exactly is considered "irreversible"?
……

Melendel, main city, hot spring "Qingshantang".

It was rare to find a natural hot spring shop in such a remote place. The four people in the bath looked at Luo Wei with different eyes.

Ayining: resentment.

Anaining: Comfortable.

Saya: Contempt.

Vimeer: ​​Nervous.

“You bastard…!” Saya covered her body and looked at him, “You brought us to a place like this just because you beat a few nobles!?”

"You think I do."

Luo Wei sighed rarely while soaking in the pool. No matter how he looked at it, he was the biggest victim when he accompanied them shopping. The city was full of nobles' spies, and only if they stayed in enough places would they not suspect Nununi's grocery store.

Getting the support from the Funeral Hermits was the biggest gain today.

If he did this step by step, it would take an incalculable amount of time just to figure it out. Going directly to Nununi would be like taking advantage of a loophole that only he could exploit.

Otherwise, it would be unacceptable to write about winning the faith of more than 300,000 people in the Lower Town in just one day.

"It's really nice here!" Ananing said with a smile, enjoying herself. When it comes to enjoying life in the moment, no one can compare to her.

"It's a hot spring opened by an Oriental," Ayin hesitated for a moment while wrapped in a bath towel, "although it still uses the water from the lake upstream of the capital."

The main source of water for the entire Melendel comes from Lake Mesif. The upper reaches flow in from the west from the Holy Mountain of Uriel north of the royal city. The main trunk flows through the upper city where the royal palace and the nobles are located before winding down, and then passes through the artisan area before entering the main city and the lower city.

If it were the other way around, those nobles would definitely go crazy.

The hot springs here are underground springs that were accidentally discovered at the bottom of the mountain upstream. In this world, all the shops opened by oriental bosses seem to be very particular about these things, so they have to open their shops in remote corners of the main urban area. Of course, it's a good thing for them that no one uses them.

"Come to think of it..." Vimir said, recalling today's events, "Including Nununi, the residents of the capital give me a very friendly feeling!"

"They do have reason to be proud of this city." Luo Wei responded with his eyes closed.

Compared to the nobles who were racking their brains to embarrass them, the residents of the royal city were indeed much more simple and honest. After the commotion in the House of Lords for a few days, it would be nice to take them to see the other side of Melendel. From their conversations with the residents and what they saw with their own eyes, it was necessary to confirm what kind of city this was for the future.

"But Lovely's brother seems to be very unfriendly to her," Weimir pursed his lips, "Could it be that Baron Wilson was..."

"Then there are probably many people who want to kill him."

This is the only answer Rowe could give.

The attendant named Deva had been sent out of the royal city. It was impossible to keep such a person in their hands. It happened that he had a sister who wanted to be a craftsman. In the end, he chose to accept the family relocation to the Crownless City. Marcus had already made arrangements.

As for the Baron himself, Lowe could only say that he was not surprised by his ending.

"And that 'Red Needle Man', he gives people a very scary feeling..." Vimir said blankly, "I accidentally heard a noble outside say that he is a vampire, and he has lived for more than 500 years?!"

"Yes, it's true, and he only drinks the blood of young girls."

“Eh… Eh!?”

You believe this too.

Luo Wei sighed deeply after seeing her reaction, and after Vimir planned the entire escape route, he realized that he had lied to her.

"Although that person is not an ordinary human, he has nothing to do with vampires. It is better to say that he is better at bleeding than sucking blood."

"That young girl thing...?"

"it is true."

"!!!"

Vimir replanned her escape route.

Ayining sat opposite with worried eyes, but the fact that they could still sit here and discuss such things showed that he had more than normal room for these things.

But he obviously avoided the topic of the second prince.

Don’t want to mention it, or... ?
"Oh, why do you only talk to Vimir?" Ananing suddenly complained.

Luo Wei took a look at her current appearance. Her flawless shoulder skin and wet white hair falling down made her look as quiet as a virgin.

"You actually remembered to put on your clothes before jumping out of the bathroom that night." He shook his head.

Although it seems that there is nothing wrong with it, it's really amazing that she could come up with the idea of ​​wrapping herself in a bath towel inside and wearing a bathrobe outside.

"Of course," Anan Ning suddenly smiled evilly, "After all, I am your lover now, how can I let others see it casually, don't you think?"

Shaye: "?"

Vimir: “?”

Ayi Ning: “…?”

When others were stunned.

What Luo Wei was subconsciously thinking about was how many crepes he still owed her.
