MTL - The Dragon Princess Who Traveled Through Another World-Chapter 20 Unlucky Edson, a letter from the Imperial Capital
Chapter 20 Unlucky Edson, Letter from the Imperial Capital
The little shark has solved the current food crisis in Beira Village very well.
Not to mention the people, even pickled shark meat appeared on the tables in the castle.
Except, Charlie never put his fork to the shark meat on the plate in front of him.
The food shortage problem in the small town has been solved, the villagers have no worries about food and drink, and they are working harder to build the city walls, but Charlie's face has been gloomy in recent days.
The villagers thought that their benevolent and powerful lord was not satisfied with the progress of their project, so they worked harder.
The city wall, which was expected to be completed in three days, was completed in two days by the villagers working together.
When Charlie was checking and accepting, he asked the instructor of Mylami to reinforce a layer of 'soil coat' on the outside of the wall built by the villagers.
The villagers who had finished their work enthusiastically turned to help Melami and Kana who had been 'drained' for several days in a row. With the help of the villagers in the village, the speed of the two also increased.
Two days later, a 4-meter-high, one-meter-thick city wall rose from the ground, completely surrounding Beira Village.
Only two southeast gates are left.
The moment the city wall was completed, Charlie saw a reminder that the mission rewards could be collected.
Charlie is numb to claiming loot.
If there are too many lice, don’t bite, and if you have too many debts, don’t worry.
The Ion Stone thrown into the sea can swim around and return to her hand.
Is there any need to struggle?
Received the task reward directly in the room.
Eternal magic supplies, I really have a little expectation!
There was a familiar feeling of heat on the left thumb, followed by a dazzling light in the room.
After the light faded, a beautiful statue of a peacock appeared on the old moth-eaten carpet.
The main body of the peacock statue is golden, which looks like it is made of gold, but when you look closely, the color is darker and heavier than the gold that Charlie recognized.
In this world, this metal is called dark gold, a very expensive magic material.
Each feather of the peacock statue is inlaid with emerald gemstones, which looks extremely luxurious.
Such a sculpture, if the magical value contained in it is not counted, in terms of workmanship and materials alone, it may be able to buy 4 earl's mansions in the rich area of the imperial capital.
Obviously, if such a precious treasure can be included in the treasury, the status of its owner will obviously not be too low.
What Charlie didn't know was that when she was trying to figure out the gorgeous peacock statue, she was floating irritablely in a certain floating city above the west coast...
The most prominent mage tower let out a hysterical roar mixed with rage, distress, anxiety, helplessness and frenzy.
Probably guessed whose 'stolen' it was in all likelihood, and Charlie couldn't ask the two mentors about it. She couldn't explain the origin of the thing at all.
Instead of saying it to test human nature, it is better for her to keep her mouth shut and guard against gentlemen rather than villains.
Because he helped the villagers stock up on shark meat these days, and went to the beach every day to release all the arcane energy, Charlie's control over the arcane energy has reached the stage of his fingers.
She mobilized a little arcane energy and poured it into the statue.
The eternal magic item has absorbed the arcane energy, and the gemstones on the peacock's feathers emit a soft, bright green brilliance, shining brightly.
It seemed to come alive, just like the fiery phoenix statue that Teacher Capa took out when he was waiting for them to travel through space.
"Hello, your servant Conti is here to help you. Do you need any help?"
Charlie blinked her eyes. Her curiosity is stronger than that of a cat, and she likes to explore all unknown things.
"Your name is Conte? Well, Conte, what are you?"
"I am a creation of eternal magic; a servant who will always serve you; a failure in the pursuit of omniscience and omnipotence; a polymath who can identify all things. I am Conti."
Charlie curiously looked at this 'living' sculpture that looked like a real peacock, combing its feathers with its beak from time to time, "Can you identify everything? Is it 10,000 items? Or all the items that exist in the world?"
Conte nodded proudly, "Of course all the objects that exist in the world."
Charlie immediately became interested. She wanted to find something to try, but found that the 'assets' she owned were so shabby that she couldn't afford her earl title at all.
Separated from the earl's mansion in the imperial capital, Charlie only had a hundred gold coins except for a pile of messy books moved out of the old earl's study.
What kind of mother can give her own "son" 100 gold coins and 500 silver coins?
Getting angry after thinking about it, Charlie pulled his thoughts back forcefully, and suddenly thought that besides those shabby belongings, she did have an item that could be identified.
So, Charlie tossed and found out the legendary magic bottle that belonged to the goblin that Frye had "purchased" for her.
Put the goblin's magic bottle in front of the peacock statue.
As a result the statue screamed, yes, a gold-studded gem-encrusted eternity magic item screamed shrillly after seeing the goblins' pots of magic.
"Take it away!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Charlie: "…"
Fortunately, on the way here, she was not impulsive and used this thing when she was attacked, otherwise, let alone the enemy, she would suffer along with her.
Properly put away the goblin's magic bottle, the peacock statue with its wings flapping around regained its calm.
It is enough to show how harmful those goblins who have never masked their faces are.
The second one is the bottle of the strongest hypnotic dust.
The peacock, like a living bird, looked left and right at the bottle curiously.
"The magic medicine of the great pharmacist Celine. A bottle of sleeping pills that is powerful enough to make thousands of people sleep peacefully. Please be careful when using the dose."
The remaining dagger.
"The highly poisonous dagger that has lost its effectiveness, oh, it is just an ordinary dagger now."
After some experiments, Charlie concluded that this is probably a 'decoration' invented by the bigwigs to identify items.
So here comes the problem.
As the owner, the big brother can put this on display to appreciate it openly, but, as the owner of the thief finger, can she do this?
While struggling, there was a knock on the door of the room.
"Who?"
"My lord, the emperor has letters."
Speaking of the imperial capital, Charlie can only think of two people, one is Frye who indirectly saved her life, the heir of the Marquis family.
The other one is the vain and snobbish biological mother of the original body.
"I hope it belongs to Fry." Charlie muttered and walked out of the room.
By the way, she told Annie who was waiting respectfully at the door: "Don't come into my bedroom without my instructions these days."
Anne immediately complied, and expressed with trepidation that she would not go against the wishes of the earl's master.
Since she was rescued by Charlie from the pile of dead people, she has changed a lot. Before, she probably only respected him on the surface, but now she really treats Charlie as her own master.
Charlie is also very satisfied with this.
On the way downstairs, Charlie briefly listened to Anne's account of the source of the letter.
The nearest big town is the 'Medy City' that can be seen after passing through the Warcraft Forest, crossing a river, and turning over a small hill.
There is a magic guild there, and the big nobles can generally send letters quickly through the magic guild.
Hearing this, Charlie asked: "Magic letter? How much is it to send one?"
Anne didn't have much knowledge, so she could only guess and give a rough answer, "It costs about 10 gold coins to send a letter to Maddie City."
Charlie: "…"
very good, very powerful.
"You continue to talk."
Her letter was sent to Maddie City, just in time to meet a group of heralds who set out from the imperial capital a long time ago and came to Bella Village to declare their trust in the lord to seal the official letter.
So, the bewildered herald sent a letter from the new earl who arrived more than 20 days earlier than them.
Charlie went down and exchanged greetings with the herald and his party who were on their way.
After receiving the letter, Charlie saw a line of beautiful cursive characters on the cover, and his mood fell to the bottom instantly.
It was a letter from the old earl's widow, the 'birth mother' who enjoyed a romantic life in the imperial capital.
According to noble etiquette, Charlie had to leave the herald and his party to dine in the castle.
She is not a very particular person, but Anne almost cried because she couldn't provide a 'decent' noble dinner for the earl's master's guests.
Charlie didn't care at first, but when she saw Anne who was out of breath and crying, she realized that this problem seemed to be a very serious problem among the nobles.
The conversation between Charlie and Annie happened to be overheard by Capa and Myramie who were passing by the study.
The two arcane instructors came uninvited and joined the topic very naturally.
"Don't we have a lot of shark meat?" Mylamy said nonchalantly.
"Oh, old friend, do you expect those guys from the imperial capital who can only see people with their noses, not to go back and speak ill of our Charlie after eating some kind of fish that smells like urine?"
"Dare they dare! I..."
"You are not a nobleman, Charlie is, you should not use the set at the red robe secret meeting on the nobles. It is because you can only 'boom boom' when dealing with any problem, that's why the arcanist was dismissed by the nobles. They mistakenly thought they were crazy.
Think about it, if our Charlie also has that kind of prejudice against us, where are we going to find such an excellent disciple?
So, Charlie, what are you going to do? "
"Shark meat is not forbidden..." Charlie pondered while thinking.
Anne cried even more sadly after hearing this.
She's a useless maid, and she's damned in the dead, because she can't serve the Count's guests with a table of good and decent food!
"I haven't gone to the beach today, and the arcane energy is still full, so can I use the arcane art of the transformation department to turn shark meat into a hearty feast?"
Milami, Capa: "..."
The two arcane mages gave Charlie a thumbs up at the same time. This is a new gesture they learned from Charlie these days, which means to praise you.
Anna hiccupped. Although she couldn't understand the conversation of the noble arcanists, she understood that the problem seemed to be solved.
"Let's finish with the magic wolf meat for the main course." Charlie finalized the main course again.
The arcane art of the transformation system, in short, can turn frogs into princes, fireballs into flowers, clothes into air, in short, everything can change.
Charlie took a deep breath facing the hideous sharks, "I'm sorry, royal heralds!"
I change!
…
On that day, the Count's banquet table was unprecedentedly rich, with caviar the size of the nail of a little finger; the red wine of Bonneva that was rumored to be enjoyed only by great arcanists; very expensive **** bread; and very rare devil wolf meat Serve as a main course.
It's just that, from the beginning to the end, the earl only ate the devil wolf meat on the plate, and was not interested in the delicacies cooked with other expensive ingredients on the plate.
It can be said that after dealing with the herald who was eloquent and kept talking about gossip about some famous nobles at the dinner table, Charlie returned to the study and calmly opened the letter from the imperial capital.
After reading the letter at a glance, the calm Charlie was almost blown away by the widow of the old earl who wrote the letter.
