Chapter 36.8. Holiday in Clarkalond
The horses galloped forward, and pedestrians and patrolling city guards all gave way.
He ran straight back to Night Lord's Castle. Watt was an excellent horseman and followed closely behind Daquus.
Although there are undercurrents in Clarkalond now, it is not to the point where there will be a Kane assassin attack or an ambush on the direct descendants of the Hell's Disaster Family. Of course, it is hard to say after they leave the city.
After dinner, I asked Butler Dia to arrange a room for Walter. It was impossible for him to go back to the Thorn Family. He would definitely not survive the night if he went back. By then, Newkel would be able to kill Daquus.
There was nothing to do tonight, so after taking a shower, Dacus took the magic lamp and began to rub it diligently, wondering if he was the chosen one.
"Fake! This magic lamp must be fake!"
Dacus began to rummage through the cabinets in the house to see what his brother had left behind. Because cabinets could hide attackers, Druki's cabinets usually had no doors.
I opened a drawer and it was full of glassware, gems and other objects, sparkling.
"Are you Smaug, bro?"
There were no strange or bizarre items in this room; they were all perfectly normal. For example, opening a drawer and revealing an octagonal star emblem, constantly corroding Daquus day and night, wouldn't happen. The family's guards and servants weren't fools. When buying something, they'd spot any poison or flaws, and if they weren't sure, they'd consult the family sorcerer.
He opened another drawer and was instantly slapped in the face. Inside was an ancient, fossil-like horn. He did not reach out to touch it, but began to recall when he had found this object.
"I found this two years ago. This should be the beastman's horn, right? I think I blew it before. Huh!"
Daxus took out the horn with a look of disgust and looked at it over and over again.
"Isn't this the Beastmaster Horn? Hmm, maybe I can use it later. I can blow it when I go on an expedition to the Old World to fight Beastmen and buff them."
Darkus threw the horn to the ground and took out an Asrai-style quiver and began to examine it.
"Well, it's quite old. The hollow pattern is really beautiful. I think I know where it came from. It's a good thing and I can use it."
I looked through two more drawers, and they were all filled with fancy handicrafts.
Darkus shook his head speechlessly, opened the first drawer again, and began to check the items inside one by one.
"This ruby is nice, isn't it?"
Darkeus held the palm-sized, flat gem up to the candlelight and examined it carefully. Engraved into the ruby was the symbol of Asuryan, a lifelike phoenix burning with flames, though the flames had gone out.
"Is this Asuryan's emblem, the extinguished Phoenix Binding Curse? I've found quite a few goodies today, and the Chosen One is actually me?"
"I remember this thing has fire and magic resistance, right? Will it burn me if I bring that autistic guy with me?"
Dacus placed the quiver and the extinguished Phoenix Binding Curse on the table. He wanted to ask the waiter to take the horn away, but he shook his head and gave up.
Today, Dacus' main purpose was to find something about pharmacy, but unfortunately, he found nothing.
After opening the safety of the crossbow and placing it beside him, Daquus looked at the recipe for a while and fell asleep.
The next day, nothing happened.
After breakfast, Dacus took Watt to visit the three Takia siblings.
The three siblings can already walk normally, and there are no visible scars on their bodies. If they could be seen, the family law enforcement champion would be very embarrassed.
After the introduction, several Druki dignitaries sat in the shabby reception room and chatted, while Alyssa was admiring the gems she had received yesterday.
After chatting for a while, the merchant also came. After chatting with him for a few words and paying the Sovereign to him, he asked the waiter to take him to the family caravan. The last caravan to Gorond this year was about to depart.
Dacus sent Walter away, and the three siblings knelt in front of him.
"grown ups!"
Darkus leaned back in his chair, rubbing the bridge of his nose with his right hand, and said slowly with his eyes closed: "Master Newker, tell me everything." After that, he stood up and leaned over to the three siblings and said: "I'm sorry! You have suffered."
"grown ups!"
Dacus walked over and helped the three siblings up, asking as he did so: "Get up! Do you know what you drank?"
The three siblings shook their heads in confusion. Ryan said regretfully, "I drank that stuff and started to lose control."
Darkus snorted sinisterly, "Oh, Alchemy combined with Dark Magic.
Franais has something else to say.
Dacus said directly: "Okay, let's put this matter behind us. I'm going to cook. I learned a new trick last night, and I can't wait to try it out now."
The matter has already been determined. There is no point in repeating the same old things over and over again.
In the afternoon, after having a good meal and a good drink, Daxus watched Ryan drawing, Walter found a book to read, and Franais and Alyssa began to measure the manor and discuss how to plan it.
Cousin Dacus's entourage came to the door.
Cowell made a delicate and artificial noble salute and intoned exaggeratedly: "Ah~ Good afternoon, sir, Cowell of the Mogar family greets you."
Dacus waved his hand in disgust and said, "Oh, come on, come on, please stop being like this. You really should look at yourself in the mirror. Does my cousin want to talk to me about something?"
Cowell regained his playful smile and said, "Yes, sir, Maranur invites you to the show, and I've brought the horses."
We are all old acquaintances. We often played together when we were young. The Mogar family is a die-hard supporter of the Hellsbane family. The Soul Claw belongs to them. Cowell's father is the Lord of Dread and has two seats in the Druch Council of Hundreds.
It started snowing, and a group of dignitaries set out in a mighty procession, crossing the bridge and arriving at the city wall of a square in the civilian area.
On the city wall, Maranur sat carefree, his right leg dangling on the table, sipping from a wine jug. Turning to see Daquus, he pompously gestured for a hug, still holding the wine jug, and said with a smile, "My dear brother, why didn't you wait for me yesterday?"
Daquus stared at Maranur speechlessly, picked up a clean wine glass on the table, poured himself some wine, and began to drink.
The four sons of the Hell's Disaster Family and Maranul's entourage came to greet them.
Daxus began to introduce everyone to each other. For the three Takia siblings and Watt, this was a high-end game.
Maranul suddenly looked at a Druki nobleman with a serious face and shouted, "Elvis!" and shook his finger.
The nobleman named Elvis was about to talk to Alyssa. He turned around and looked at Maranul, then immediately saluted after realizing what was happening.
"My dear brother, did you ask us to come here to enjoy the snow?"
Maranur raised his head and said viciously: "No! No! No! My dear brother, blood is more beautiful than snow!"
Didn't catch up_(:з」∠)_
