Chapter 254
Fulilian remained expressionless, as if she didn't feel tired at all, "In the northern plateau, Morufu should be considered one of the most peaceful cities."
"Finally have a place to stay?"
Hugh Tucker was overjoyed and relieved, "That's great..."
They haven't had a good rest these days.
Although they passed through two villages, those two villages had been almost destroyed by monsters when they arrived. Not only could they not rest, they also fought against all the attacking monsters for the sake of the surviving villagers.
The monsters that attacked those two villages only destroyed all the buildings and did not insist on killing or eating people. Fortunately, after Ai and others eliminated all the monsters, the villagers were still able to rebuild the villages.
"Morufo..."
"What's wrong? Lord Ash."
Seeing Xie touching his chin as if recalling something, Feilun asked curiously.
But Ai just showed a meaningful smile and said lightly: "Nothing, I just think that the two city lords of Morufu are very capable."
He continued on his way, and just as Frilian said, he didn't encounter a single monster during the rest of the journey.
Until the sun gradually set in the west, several people finally arrived at Morufu.
The wide stone street is big enough for two carriages to pass together, and the faces of the passers-by are all smiling.
"This place has changed a lot compared to the last time I came here."
Flynn looked at the prosperous scene around her and made this comment.
"Lord Fulilian, have you ever been here with Lord Simmel and the others?"
"Yes."
Fulilian nodded, "The city lord at that time... How should I put it, he was somewhat capable, but he was too arrogant, which caused us to spend most of our time in this city in prison, and he also said We were rude and had our heads cut off or something like that..."
"Isn't that very dangerous?!"
Hugh Tucker's face was filled with horror.
"Don't worry, that city lord was just joking and won't really behead him."
At this moment, Ai interrupted the topic, "But to be honest, I'm quite curious. Can Aize's head really be cut off?"
He fell from a height of 100 meters without any injuries, but the sword broke when he hit him. He was bitten on the head by a giant dragon and spit it out because he couldn't bite it anymore.
Thinking about Ai Ze's deeds, Ai really didn't think that beheading or anything like that would be useful to Ai Ze.
"Simmel was sent to the guillotine because he contradicted the king. Haita was frightened at that time."
What Frilian was talking about was what happened at the beginning of the journey, "At that time, I thought that the journey to defeat the Demon King would be over before it even started."
After finally finding a city where they could rest, Qi and others planned to stay here for a while. While shopping, they also needed to purchase some supplies.
Several people stayed in Morufo for one night.
This time it was Fulilian's turn to go shopping, and Fulilian accepted it calmly. Because she had been here once before, Fulilian thought she was very familiar with this city.
Then...she got lost.
"It's only been more than seventy years, why have there been so many changes?"
Fulilian was puzzled.
At this time, an old voice came from behind Fulilian.
"Hello, Miss Elf, did you encounter any difficulties?"
Fulilian turned her head and saw an old man who was leaning on a cane, his face was full of wrinkles, his eyes were almost narrowed into a line, and his snow-white beard hung down to his chest.
"If you encounter any difficulties, can you talk to me? Maybe I can help a little."
After hesitating for a moment, Fulian told the old man in front of her about her current difficulties.
"I remember that there should be a shop specializing in selling props nearby. The goods there are quite complete, but I can't find them now."
"Oh, you are probably talking about the store opened by Igwen, right? That store closed down more than forty years ago. After Igwen passed away, his son went to another city. That store Also sold."
"Really? What a pity..."
Although she said it was a pity, Fulian's expression did not change, probably because she was used to seeing similar scenes.
"Excuse me, is there a similar store here? I want to buy the things on this list."
As she spoke, Fulian showed the old man in front of her the list of goods that Feilon had given her before going out.
"Well... they are all very common things. They are not too difficult to buy."
The old man stroked his beard and said softly: "I happen to know a store. Most of the things on this list should be available there. Let me take you there."
"Would it be too much trouble for you?"
Looking at the old man in front of her, Fulilian hesitated. In her opinion, this old man must be at least eighty years old, which is considered a long life for humans.
Unexpectedly, the old man suddenly laughed.
"Hahaha, it doesn't matter. Old man, I want to walk around this city casually, and it won't be a hindrance for me to show you the way."
"When I was young, I was always entangled with various jobs. Now that I have given them to my son, I am finally free. Instead, I don't know what to do all day long."
"Besides, when it comes to understanding this city, probably no one can compare to me, the old man."
"Don't worry about me, my body is still very strong... surprisingly people can live a long time after getting old."
When she heard the last sentence, Fulian's eyes trembled.
In the end, she didn't refuse the old man anymore.
"Then come with me, Miss Elf, and I'll take you to where you want to go. The journey shouldn't take you too much time."
"My name is Florian."
Fulilian corrected the title, which made the old man stunned for a moment.
"...Really, Fulian...it's such a nice name."
The old man lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.
"...Worm, call me Worm."
453
Chapter 453: The Lord of Morufo.
After that, Frilian followed the old man named Worm to the place recommended by him.
In addition to the things on the list, Fulian also took a fancy to a magic book, for which she started a fierce bargaining with the store.
Worm, on the other hand, has been waiting silently next to Frilian, watching Frilian look surprised at the magic book on the shelf, watching Frilian arguing with the store about the price, and he doesn't seem to be bored at all. .
Time is passing and the sun is getting higher.
Her silver twin ponytails were held up by the breeze. Frilian used magic to fly to a tree and took a small ball from the branch.
When Fulilian landed on the ground, five children immediately gathered around her.
"Here, this is your ball, take it."
Fulilian handed the ball to the nearest child, "Be careful next time and don't drop the ball on the tree... Even if it gets dropped on the tree, don't climb up to get it regardless of safety. You need help for this kind of thing. The adults around me, do you remember?"
The children responded in unison: "Remember!"
The children trotted away, their laughter echoing down the street.
Florian waved goodbye to the children, with a faint smile on her lips.
"This city has really changed a lot...I didn't see so many children playing and playing in the streets before."
"Hahaha, I'm so glad to hear your comment."
Worm laughed, very happily.
Frilian raised her head and glanced at the sky, then said to Worm: "Thank you for today, Mr. Worm."
Then, Worm shook his head and said something that made Fulilian a little confused.
"I want to thank you, Fulilian...because of you, I can be so happy today."
Worm lowered his head and said something in a voice that Florian couldn't hear clearly.
"I thought I had no chance to see you again..."
Fulian tilted her head, with a look of confusion on her face.
"It's already noon, so I'll go back first."
Fulilian said: "If I go back too late, Fearon will talk to me again."
"Really? It's already that time, so go back quickly. It's almost time for me to go back and report that I'm safe."
Worm said with a smile: "I hope that me being out for so long won't make others too anxious."
"Do you need me to take you back?"
"That's really great... Even though I really want to say this, let it go. I am quite confident in the order of this city and nothing will happen."
Afterwards, Frilian said goodbye to Worm and set off on her way back.
However, as soon as Fulilian returned to the hotel where she was staying, she saw Ai and others who were just about to go out.
"Lord Fulilian! You are back."
"What's wrong? Feilun, are you going out?"
Fearon looked directly at Fulilian with a pair of ancient and unwavering eyes, "Lord Fulilian, the city lord just sent us an invitation, hoping to have lunch with us."
Hugh Talk was super nervous, "Will we also be chopped down for offending the lord... It's so scary."
"Have you bought all the things? Then go back to the room and find a place to put them first, and pack them up when you come back."
Ash said to Fulilian: "After all, it is the invitation from the city lord. It is not good to make the other party wait for too long."
The carriage was already parked outside, and there was even a steward waiting here, which was enough to show the lord's sincerity and goodwill.
Except for Hugh Tucker, who was so nervous that his whole body tensed up on the carriage, the other three were very relaxed on the carriage.
"Relax, Hugh Tucker, we were just invited by the lord to have a meal. We are not going to be eaten by him, so don't be so nervous."
Ai couldn't stand it any longer and began to try to comfort Hugh Tucker.
But the effect doesn't seem to be very good.
"But... that's a noble Lord? Are we commoners really qualified to dine in a noble Lord's castle?"
"What are you civilians? Didn't the handsome old butler just say that? We are Master Ash and Master Fulian of the Brave Simmel Team."
The corners of Qi's mouth raised slightly, and she puffed up her chest subconsciously, "This status is no worse than that of a noble, right?"
"but……"
"Lord Shytark."
Fearon also comforted Hugh Tarke, "I have also heard about the Lord of Morufo. That man has a very high reputation among the people. I don't think he would do such an unreasonable thing."
Through the window of the carriage, Ai saw the scene on the street.
Playing children, busy shops, and laughing pedestrians.
Various aspects of life, scenes of prosperity.
"Morufo was not like what he is now."
Holding his cheek with his left hand, Jian said calmly: "Although the former Morufu had the ability to resist the attacks of monsters, the civilians living here did not live very well. The lord at that time only cared about his territory itself, and the care for the people living in this territory was only incidental."
"Until the previous lord inherited the position of lord from his father, Morufu has undergone earth-shaking changes in just a few decades. Although the current lord is not as good as his father, he also attaches great importance to the people of Morufu like him, which is why we have the Morufu we see now."
Hsiutark and Philen both looked like they were listening attentively, only Fulilian seemed not to care much about what Jian was saying.
Glancing at Fulilian who was enjoying the scenery outside the window, Jian seemed to remember something.
"Oh and, the previous lord seems to have not married yet, and the one we are going to meet now is actually the adopted son of the previous lord."
Hsiutark and Philen showed surprise, even shock.
During the conversation, a luxurious carriage pulled by two horses had already arrived at the lord's castle.
What made Jian and the others flattered was that the lord actually came to greet them in person.
