Chapter 249 The Invitation
The shopkeeper of the Rosy Humanoid Museum had been rummaging around in the storage room for a long time, and finally found what she was looking for, but when she came out, she found that the “customer” who was standing in front of the counter before had disappeared.
“…… Fluffy …… “After confirming that Tirion had left, the old woman couldn’t help but mutter, “No wonder the younger sister became a scholar and the older brother went to fight with others. brother went to fight with others ……”
However, Tirion definitely won’t know what that elf old lady is chanting behind his back, he has already rushed out of the doll store at this time, and came to the street outside.
However after standing in the open space in front of the store and looking around, he couldn’t find that blonde lady’s figure.
The several sailors who stayed waiting outside the store earlier saw the captain come out and look around, and immediately came over, “Captain, we’re here.”
“Didn’t look for you guys,” Tirian said quickly, while his eyes were still roving between the surrounding streets, “Did you guys just see a lady with long blonde hair standing by the window? About …… half a head shorter than me, and wearing a purple frock.”
Several of the sailors looked at each other in disbelief, and then in unison cast a startled look at Tirion.
Tirian frowned, “…… What do you all mean by that look?”
“Captain ……” one of the sailors spoke up boldly, hesitation in his tone, “Love at first sight is a good thing, but I think crossing the city-state …… “
Tirian looked at this subordinate of his with a calm face, “You say another word, I will stuff you into each of the six main cannons of the Sea Mist in the direction of dispersal.”
The sailor didn’t move on the spot.
Tirian, on the other hand, had begun to think fast by this time.
He could be sure that he hadn’t misread just now, just now there was indeed a blonde woman whose appearance was exactly the same as Her Majesty Rae Nora outside the window tapping on the window.
The sea of people was vast, in fact, if just a person whose appearance was similar to the Frost Queen appeared in front of his eyes, Tirian wouldn’t have much of a reaction – after half a century of long life, he had seen quite a lot of people with similar appearance, however, the other party was outside tapping on the window, this was different.
The other party was clearly coming for himself.
A person who was almost identical to the Frost Queen, appearing near this doll store as if she had prepared for it, banging on the window to get his attention, only to run away when he showed his face – this series of actions was sending out obvious signals.
Tirian frowned slightly, as if he vaguely thought of something, he raised his head and looked at the few people he brought with him, “You guys return to the cathedral first.”
“Huh?” Several sailors were stunned for a moment, and one of them spoke with some consternation, “But ……”
“There’s nothing but,” Tirian waved his hand, “I have some things to do, you guys leave first.”
Another sailor still couldn’t help but speak, “But, Captain, a few of us ……”
Tirian’s expression turned serious, “That’s an order.”
“But a few of us don’t have any money with us,” the third sailor finally finished his sentence, “Not even cart money – it’s not close to the cathedral from here.”
Tirion: “……”
A few moments later, the “steel lieutenant general” threw a bag of loose change at some of his men, and almost through clenched back teeth, squeezed out the words, “You guys, get out of here.”
The sailors left, and Tirian finally breathed a small sigh of relief, then looked at the surroundings, and after a little thought, he walked towards the most secluded corner of the street within the range of vision, and silently waited for the other party to show up here.
If his assumption was correct, the other party would definitely take the initiative to show up – he had just dispersed the men he had brought with him on the street, in order to send a signal that “it was possible to meet”.
And the situation was just as he expected.
After waiting for less than a few moments in this quiet street, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps coming from the neighborhood, and when he looked up, the blonde lady with the appearance of the Frost Queen was indeed appearing in the shadows not far away.
Even though he had already seen it once just now through the window, Tirian still couldn’t help but feel shocked at this time – it was really too similar!
He had indeed seen people with similar looks, but looks that were similar to this extent …… had already gone far beyond common sense and beyond imagination.
It was also because of this overly similar appearance, Tirian’s first reaction after the momentary shock was instead to be on guard and vigilant – he stared at the mysterious blonde lady as if the other party was a dangerous molecule that deserved his full attention, and in this cautious observation, he also found something strange about the other party.
Demeanor with a kind of not like ordinary people’s elegance and moderation, looks exquisite but a little less …… “breath of the living”, ordinary people at first glance may not be able to detect anything, however, as a captain leading the army of the living dead, Tirion but gradually from the The other party felt a certain …… trait that is extremely incongruous to put on a living person.
“Incredible,” just as Tirian’s heart became more and more vigilant, that blonde lady took the initiative to speak, “you actually came – so it’s so simple to lure people out.” The other party even sounded exactly like the Frost Queen?
Instead of feeling surprised and excited, Tirian grew more and more wary, “…… Who are you.”
“My name is Alice.”
The blonde lady on the other side smiled up and said matter-of-factly.
“…… I’m not asking your name,” Tirian frowned, “I’m asking who you are, and what you want – why did you purposely meet with me to meeting?”
“The Captain wanted to see you,” Alice was serious, answering what she asked, “He said that you were staying around the Cathedral with a lot of people, and that a lot of confidential matters were not good to discuss, and that he had to lead you to a quieter place to communicate.”
A mysterious captain who wanted to talk to himself about some confidential matters and sent someone to lure him out?
Tirian frowned, somehow his heart relaxed a lot instead – he had been a pirate in the cold sea for half a century, he had seen many similar situations, than the Frost Queen Rae Nora suddenly resurrected to come over to find himself, a conspiracy secret meeting that took place between the captains was instead a situation that he was more familiar with.
But he did not have the intention to meet with the other party.
“I’m not interested in people who hide their heads and tails,” after confirming that this was a familiar story, Tirian’s expression relaxed and he casually replied, “Go tell your master that if he wants to meet with the captain of the Sea Mist, he can do so openly. “Tell your master that if he wishes to meet with the captain of the Sea Mist, he may do so openly and meet me at the cathedral – and if it is an unseemly endeavor, then I am sorry to say that the Sea Mist only conducts legitimate business outside of the cold, cold sea.”
Having said that, he had made a point of turning to leave, but the blonde lady who called herself Alice snapped, “Don’t you want to know who the ‘captain’ I’m talking about is?”
“Hmm?” Tirion frowned, “Who is it?”
“Your father.” Alice said honestly.
Tirian, however, his expression changed slightly in an instant after hearing the other’s words, “I’m sorry, this joke is not funny, excuse me.”
Alice thought for a moment, “Ah, the captain also said you might be reacting this way, so there is another invitation option ……”
Tirian was about to turn around and leave when he subconsciously hesitated after hearing the other party’s words, “Another ……”
He had just muttered a few words when he suddenly felt a change in the surrounding atmosphere, a warning sign instantly surged up, he violently twisted his head to look at the direction from which the atmosphere came, but he only saw that a little girl who did not know when to stand there, was swinging her arm round to throw something towards herself.
It seemed to be a dog.
For less than a second, Tirian felt that he had a chance to dodge it, even if the other party was a sneak attack, even if the other party’s strength and speed was clearly that of a Transcendent, he still had a chance to dodge it, however, in the moment he tried to dodge, he realized that all of his limbs had lost their response – it was as if countless invisible silk threads had tightly bound his bones and muscles, and he lost his ability to respond to them. bones and muscles, he lost control of his body.
The only thing he managed to do was to barely turn his head to look at the blonde lady who was smiling innocently – the next moment was the ugly dog’s head that was rapidly enlarging at the edge of his vision.
With a loud thud, the big pirate flew a few meters out of the sky, and didn’t move.
Shirley looked at the results of her battle with a bit of dismay.
“…… It just flew away?” She looked at the chains in her hands, and then looked at the Tirian who was smashed out, and muttered while walking over to check the situation, “I thought that at least I would have to fight a lot, but as a result, the legendary big pirate just this …… didn’t smash to death, right?”
“Shouldn’t have it,” Alice also walked over, while looking at the fainted Tirion while muttering with Shirley, “The captain said, Tirion is a child who is resistant to beating.”
“Why didn’t he duck just now?” Shirley squatted down and picked up a wooden stick to poke Tirian’s face, “Those Terminal Preachers before were at least able to dodge a few times ……”
“I don’t know,” Alice shook her head, “It’s not like I can fight.”
Shirley thought for a moment and had a new worry, “Will the …… captain get mad if he sees his son’s head swollen up like that.”
“I don’t think so,” Alice continued, shaking her head, “The Captain has said that if he doesn’t cooperate, you’ll hit him with Dog and make him spin like a gyroscope ……”
“And did he just spin?”
“I think …… it spun, it’s in the air so many times.”
Shirley finally put her heart down and clapped her hands, “That’s fine, I’ll greet Aey to transport people.”
