Alien Knights

Chapter 466: A trip to the market (part 1)

   Standing at the door of the long house, Maeve took her two sons and stared at the simple furniture that was full of the house.

   A tall woman wearing leather armor, a short sword and a feather crown said to Maeve, "Here, this is your residence."

   Maeve looked back at the speaker, smiled and said: "When my child and I left the kingdom, we were in a hurry and did not bring any food or supplies. Could you please buy some..."

   Maeve said as she took out a valuable ruby ​​ring from her bag and handed it to the woman in front of her.

   "The order I got is to bring you here, not to meet your requirements!" The tall woman pushed Maeve's hand away.

Maeve did not have the slightest complaint, and said with a smile: "This ring is made by an imperial craftsman in the southern desert. It can be exchanged for five excellent horses... It might be inconvenient for me to go out with my children. If you are willing to help I bought some necessities, and I am willing to give you this ring..."

The tall woman was furious when she heard the words, pulled out the short sword on her back, hit Maeve's forearm with the back of the sword, and said angrily: "I'll say it again, I'm not your servant! Use your belongings to lure one The Valkyrie is the most stupid behavior in Froststone City!"

   Maeve’s two sons, one was ignorant of world affairs at the age of four, and the other was just learning to speak at the age of two. They grew up in the palace and they had never seen such a scene before, and they started crying in fright.

Listening to the cries of the two children, the Valkyrie closed her eyes with a headache, and while retracting her dagger, she said helplessly: "Get out of here, follow the road of Lumari and go north, you can reach Froststone City. The Grand Bazaar. You can exchange your belongings into currency to buy what you want."

   The Valkyrie opened her eyes, looked at Maeve from head to toe, raised her chin and gestured toward the room: "There is a wardrobe in the room, and there are cloaks and face towels in the cabinet. I suggest you change into a set of clothes."

   After saying this, the Valkyrie walked out of the room without looking back, leaving only Maeve and her child at a loss.

   Looking at the bruises on her arms, Maeve, who was once a queen, remembered the days of pampering in the palace, her eyes turned red, and she almost shed tears.

   "Mother, where is father? Where's Uncle Minetje? Where is Zoya?"

The elder son’s sudden question made Maeve stop her grief, and smiled to herself: "Your father stayed in the kingdom to deal with things and couldn’t see us for a long time. Meineje and the others accompanied your father, I’m afraid they will also come. Nothing... As for Zoya's maids and those servants, I gave them a long vacation..."

   The youngest son looked at the room in front of him, broke free of Maeve’s hand, looked around, and finally ran to his mother’s side and cried out, "Hungry."

   Maeve gritted her teeth, stood up, walked into the back room and turned out a robe, dressed neatly, holding the younger son in one hand and the elder son in the other, and walked out of the gate.

   walked to the door, Maeve looked back, only to find that her residence was built in the middle of a group of neat long houses, and all the people who entered and exited were all similarly dressed Valkyries.

   There are green forests and colorful flowers and plants. Although the environment is not as luxurious as the Connaught Palace, it has a different kind of elegance.

   Going a little further, Maeve left the longhouse area and entered the road of Lumali in the mouth of the Valkyrie.

   This road paved with bluestone slabs has obviously been carefully taken care of.

   The surface of the slate was polished smoothly, and there was no **** or debris on the road. Various flowers and shrubs were planted on both sides of the road.

   With the warm sunshine and pleasant breeze, the original haze in Maeve's heart was immediately diluted a lot.

   Walking a little further, Maeve saw a group of civilians in commoners squatting on both sides of the road, sweeping the road and maintaining the vegetation.

   Are these people the slaves responsible for cleaning the city in Froststone?

   This idea just surfaced in Maeve's mind, and it was immediately denied by her.

   There are men and women in this group, old and young. Judging from the dressing, there are indeed slaves in ragged clothes, but there are no shortage of well-dressed civilians.

   Judging from the facial expressions of everyone, they are not forced to clean the road, they are more like working voluntarily.

  Walking out of the road of Lumari, Maeve climbed up a high platform along a flat granite step. Looking around, there was a vast square in front of her.

   In this wide space with no edge, Maeve saw so many buildings and so many people gathered in the same place for the first time in her life.

   The continuous stone buildings are located on the square in a patchwork pattern, and the rough count is more than a thousand.

   Thousands of people, dressed in various clothes, with different skin colors, and holding different languages, shuttled across the square like a huge school of fish in the river or sea.

   Looking at the scene before her, Maeve stayed there for a while, a little confused.

   Looking at the two children beside her, she took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, stepped off the high platform, and walked towards the square.

Coming to the edge of the Grand Bazaar, Maeve looked at the dozens of huge wooden signs erected, with easy-to-understand pictures marking the roads and areas of the bazaar. Even below the wooden signs, there were a few standing Ten people answered their doubts for those who came and went.

   Everything in front of her made Maeve unbelievably round her eyes and open her mouth.

   She never dreamed that Froststone City would be such a city.

   With the mood to give it a try, Maeve picked a kind-looking old man and asked him: "Excuse me..."

   The old man turned around, looked at the woman and her two children in front of him, leaned slightly, placed his right hand on his heart, and said, "May the brilliance of the children of the gods bless this land forever."

   Maeve imitated the other's posture and repeated the prayer.

   The old man smiled when he saw the opponent's movements: "I'm here for the first time in Froststone City?"

   Maeve was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to respond.

   "Froststone City is the atrium of the world, and it is also a blessed place where good and evil are clearly distinguished." The old man looked at Maeve and said, "Here, lies and deception are equal to bad karma. Before the balance of destiny, good and evil will eventually be settled."

   Maeve nodded without understanding, and said in a low voice, "I hope I can sell some of my valuables in exchange for daily necessities and food..."

   Before Maeve's words fell, the youngest son in her arms was so hungry that he cried again.

   Looking at Maeve’s embarrassment, the old man smiled and took out a wooden box from his arms, opened the lid, and contained some handmade snacks.

   "Let’s eat, the child is too young, and being hungry is bad for your health."

   Looking at the food container handed by the old man, Maeve hugged her son tightly, with a hesitant look on her face.

   The old man shook his head in disbelief, smiled and picked up a small piece of snack, and slowly chewed it in his mouth.

   Maeve apologized after seeing this.

Passing the entire wooden box to ~lightnovelpub.net~ Seeing Maeve and her children gulping for snacks, the old man smiled and said, "Under the gaze of the children of the gods, evil is the most unwise thing to do. Even if opportunism can make you feel comfortable while you are alive, after death, the balance of fate will make a fair judgment, and the wicked will eventually be dragged into hell."

   After a while, Maeve looked at the empty food box and looked at the old man apologetically: "These food...I can pay you money..."

  The latter does not care about waving his hand: "In Froststone City, choosing to use money to measure and define the goodwill of others is the biggest mockery of the word good."

   Maeve now, no more words.

   The old man patted his chest: "My name is Fried, and I am an ordinary old man among the many beings in Froststone City. If you want to buy items in the market, I can be your guide."

   Maeve was overjoyed and nodded quickly to thank.

   Fried looked at Maeve and asked a little hesitantly: "Let me ask first, do you have an identity sign for Froststone City?"

   "Identity sign?" Maeve puzzled: "What is that?"

   Fried was just about to explain. From the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of two Valkyries not far behind Maeve, who were walking in the same direction, then smiled and said, "No, nothing, I think you don't need that..."
