Chapter 232 Meeting with the Grand Duke
Alison and the others were placed in a hotel in the royal capital by the cavalry commander, and they left after informing them of the time of the canonization ceremony tomorrow and other matters.
"I feel that this hotel is definitely not the best. There is no magic light or water heater." McKenna said to Alison while looking at the spacious house, "This is just an ordinary hotel."
"I think so." Alison nodded, "Maybe the good ones are assigned to count-level beings."
"Oh." McKenna was a little angry when she heard this, "Why are they so noble?"
"I don't think they are noble." After hearing this, Alison thought of the rude Ratched and shook her head slightly, "But in the system of this kingdom, they are considered to be great nobles."
McKenna sighed and nodded when she heard this, and then looked at Alison with a sad look in her eyes, "When can we become that kind of existence, or become a king?"
"That is not an easy task." Alison shook her head. "The king is very tired. He has to prevent wars, official corruption, and the survival of the people in his territory. Many kings have aged prematurely because of these things."
"That's not why they did it." McKenna pursed her lips and said.
Alison smiled when she heard this, "What, you want to be the king?"
"Isn't it possible?" the little witch raised her chin and asked with a frown.
"Oh, of course." Alison walked over and pinched her face, "I haven't had any rest or food along the way. Go down and see what delicious food there is."
McKenna nodded after hearing this. She opened the door and called the waiter. After the waiter reported a lot of food, she ordered crow and squirrel, and also ordered fruit wine, while Alison only ordered white bread and sausage.
Because it needs to be baked fresh, the meal was delivered half an hour later. I don’t know if it’s a matter of aesthetic differences. The black squirrel with its snarling fangs and wolf-gu shape always gives people the feeling of being messed up, but Kenna sells it.
But he said he liked it very much.
"Squirrels are delicious. I like this cute animal the most."
McKenna said and handed the ferocious squirrel head to Alison with a fork, "Sister, eat it."
Alison looked at the thing and raised her eyebrows. At a certain moment, it felt as if the other person's soul came out of the head. She smiled politely and then raised the sausage in her hand, "I can just eat this."
Alison finished the meal in a quarter of an hour. She watched the little junior sister opposite her open her small mouth and chew the squirrel head, and she felt firsthand what it meant to eat a person without spitting out the bones.
Lunch was over and it was already afternoon. McKenna wanted to go out for a walk, which made Alison a little embarrassed. After all, she had no money.
As if aware of Alison's embarrassment, McKenna grabbed her hand and said seriously, "Shopping, not buying anything."
"Then, let's go."
Alison nodded and agreed. The last time she came to the royal capital, she still had eight legs. She was afraid that others would see her flaws, so she had no chance to go out.
The two witches, one large and one small, packed up and walked out of the hotel. They looked at the scenery, pedestrians, street stalls, urban street lights and carriages along the way.
On the way, the two of them walked around, watching the bards in gorgeous costumes telling stories about governance, watching the two little knights dueling with branches on the road, until they met two mice when they were walking back to the street.
"Hey! Beautiful lady, are you looking for someone?" Two men with bad looks asked, throwing daggers at them.
"Is this the security of the Royal Capital? It doesn't feel as good as Nekason City." Alison frowned and looked at the two of them, "You are trying to discredit this city."
"Yo!" The two men raised a ferocious smile upon hearing this, "We are just asking how you can help, but you are talking about us like this. Isn't it too unreasonable?"
"People's faces change with their psychology and living environment. At least I think questioning people with a knife is suspected of intimidation." Alison looked at the two people, "Go away, I don't want to cause trouble, and my mood has not changed.
Bad time."
"My dear, but we are in a very bad mood." After hearing this, the two men's faces immediately darkened. They clutched their knives and walked towards Alison. Then they saw the smaller one jumping out.
"Bang~click~"
McKenna kicked one of them in the chest from high altitude, then turned around and punched the other person in the neck. Then she turned over perfectly in mid-air and landed on the ground, with the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
"Senior sister, I must be awesome." McKenna turned to look at Alison, only to see two city defense troops standing behind her.
"Uh" McKenna's pupils shrank, and she subconsciously wanted to run away, but then she heard Alison speak.
"My experience here is very bad. There are people robbing people in the back streets in broad daylight. It shows how bad the security in the royal capital is."
Alison turned to look at the two city defense troops, frowned and said, "If this were ordinary citizens, it would inevitably not be a tragedy. I hope you will be responsible for public security in the future."
The corners of the mouths of the two city defense troops twitched when they heard this. They looked at the two dead mice on the ground. After a few seconds, they said solemnly, "You killed someone."
"No, this is not murder, this is self-defense." Alison turned around and looked at the two of them, "I am stopping criminals from committing crimes against me. Normally you would reward me for this kind of thing."
"How can it make sense that you want us to give you money for killing someone?" The city defense army's eyes widened after hearing this, "This is ridiculous."
"It's not murder, it's defense. You haven't heard that your laws are unsound. I will tell Grand Duke Adili about this later." Alison waved her hand, "Dispose of those two corpses and don't cause any trouble.
Citizen panic."
The city defense soldier frowned when he heard this and wanted to say something, but was held back by his companions.
"Okay Baron Alison, we will deal with this. If anything happens later, please call for help. This is the most correct thing to do." Another city defense soldier said, and then walked towards the body.
"Understood, before that I will call for help. If no one stops me, I will kill again." Alison nodded, stretched out her hand to summon McKenna, and led her out of the back street.
Because she encountered a robber and did not collect the body, Alison had little interest in shopping afterwards, but McKenna's interest did not diminish and she went shopping several streets in one go.
It wasn't until McKenna finally bought an evening paper from the newspaper office that the two of them returned to the hotel in a carriage.
Back at the hotel, Alison lay on the bed to rest, watching the little witch holding the newspaper and looking at the candle carefully, she couldn't help but smile and said, "I didn't expect you still have money hidden."
"This is a necessary thing for wandering, my instructor told me." McKenna kneeled on the chair with her butt sticking out, reading the newspaper, and asked Alison, "Senior sister, do you think the urban system in power is good?
"
"At least it's much better than the feudal system. Under that feudal system, many serfs didn't have enough to eat and had no dignity." Alison said casually.
"Then the urban system is good?" McKenna turned her head and asked doubtfully.
"At least it is more advanced than feudalism. People have their own rights. From only caring about the rights of the lords to taking into account the rights and interests of everyone, the most important thing is that it decentralizes power, so there is no absolute bully, or this kind of oppression
There are fewer people.”
"As for whether it is good or not, it all depends on development. Just like the hotel we stayed in, people in the past lived in trees, and conditions were poor when it was windy and rainy. Later, they lived in caves. Although they were sheltered from the rain, they were dark and damp. After that,
There were straw huts, and later there were wooden huts and stone huts. In short, all of these are progressing with the development of mankind."
Alison said and looked at McKenna, "Can you understand?"
"It's so profound." McKenna said with eyes full of stars.
"These are not things we worry about, you can just watch the fun, unless you have the ability to change the world." Alison smiled, "Go and order food, have a good sleep after eating, and I have to attend the canonization ceremony tomorrow.
."
After hearing this, McKenna ran out obediently, and then ordered the same thing for Alison as at noon. After the two of them finished eating, they lay down on the window and looked at the night view of the city. Apart from the straight street lights, they saw
, there’s nothing to see.
As the night grew late, Alison patted McKenna and told her the story of Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf, and then fell asleep.
When she woke up the next day, the hotel waiter brought breakfast. After Allison and McKenna washed up and had a full meal, they immediately told her not to run around, and she put on a light green corset.
He put on his coat and the pearl necklace given by his instructor and walked out of the hotel.
Under the hotel, carriages were waiting there, taking the nobles to the Consulate in batches. McKenna watched Alison get into the carriage and waved to her until she watched her carriage leave.
Seeing that everyone was gone, the little witch walked out of the hotel room door and came to a hotel on the second floor. She knocked rhythmically, and then the door was opened.
Inside is a circle of witches.
McKenna walked into the room without any stage fright. She didn't even glance at the witches. She only bowed slightly when she saw a cloud of black mist, and then said, "Her spirituality is at the level of a newly promoted level two, but her ability
She is very strong and can turn into a monster like a mountain and tear apart ghost ships. In addition, she also has a ghost ship."
"Her character is lawful and righteous, or rather cowardly. She is tolerant of those who offend her. She won't rob someone if she doesn't have money. She doesn't like publicity, and she also has some rejection of traditional food."
"She works under the church. She has a team of witches under her. Two of her subordinates are not around at the moment. In addition, she buried a monster egg in Shalin Castle."
"I think she is not harmful. As long as her core secrets are not touched, she is very easy to get along with. She also gave me a cursed object. This is the second person besides my mentor that I have met who is so kind to me.
Already."
The little witch talked a lot, but none of the witches in the room spoke. The black mist kept swirling, and finally a voice came to ask, "There is no need to question her ability, so you think the deacon who was suspected of being devoured by exploring her was just luck."
Oh no?"
"According to my understanding, she came into contact with Veroni just for the promotion ceremony. In the short term, she will not harm us."
McKenna looked at Hei Wu, "If you are worried, just give her the ritual knowledge once for each promotion."
There was no word in the black mist. McKenna looked at the witches in the room and said, "Sisters, what do you think?"
"The promotion ceremony is not that easy to exchange, and it also has inhuman characteristics."
"She has a ghost ship. It's possible. If you want to master her, just increase her points exchange ratio and let her spend ten times the price to obtain the promotion ceremony."
"This is not advisable. It was a good card, but you ruined it like this."
A group of witches discussed for a long time, some good and some bad, until finally no one said anything, and they all turned their attention to the black mist.
"Since you are sure there is no hostility, continue to activate it. You should know from your respective mentors that the church does not have many inhuman characteristics. Many people are stuck in the second level and do not advance, intending to make money outside and find cursed objects. There are new people joining this time
, the inhuman characteristics must be very sufficient, you can be promoted to rank three."
"In view of the inaccessible nature of this witch's spiritual world, the messenger needs to go on foot and is expected to arrive at the royal capital in three days."
The voice in the black mist said, and then in a flash, the mist disappeared completely.
"Did you hear what the deacon said? She is very fond of the disciple of the magic eye. Everyone, hurry up and advance." Seeing the fog disappear, a witch said to the others.
Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
The little witch turned and walked outside the hotel.
"Little McKenna, you have to work hard, after all, your mentor is dead." The witch who spoke looked at her back and hummed.
McKenna, who had walked to the door, stopped when she heard this and turned around to look at the witches, "Do you lack inhuman characteristics? You can't find a city that can release venom."
"Bang!" McKenna said and slammed the door and left.
All the witches looked at each other in shock after hearing this. After a while, the witch who spoke said, "Deacon Uzumaki really takes care of her."
Chapter completed!
