Chapter 60: Goodbye
Chapter 60 Meet again
Calculated purely by area, the commercial area can be said to be the largest area in Eagle Falcon City. Once the place is large, it will naturally be divided into different areas.
The place where Ashrufate was walking at this time was completely different from the last time he visited. The streets here were much cleaner, and there were no congested vendors setting up stalls on the roadside. Only a few small cars selling drinks or special snacks passed by. All the small cars were filled with colorful flags, and they stopped to do business only when they met a greeting from the guests.
If you have to say it, this place can be called an "office area", because there are buildings all around, and signs such as chambers of commerce and offices are hung at the gates of each building. Most of the pedestrians passing by the streets are wearing beautiful uniforms and dresses, hats, and walking calmly or hurriedly, passing by Ashrufate and the little girl.
"These are all chambers of commerce... so many..." The little girl looked at both sides of the street and said softly. Except for a few shops in the entire street, they are all the stations of such chambers of commerce.
"After all, this is a royal city of a country. No matter what chamber of commerce it is, it will regard this place as an important branch, or simply as its headquarters." Asu Ruffat replied. While speaking, he saw a whole team of armed personnel appear from the front. Almost all of these people were wearing leather armor and carrying weapons, but the styles of weapons and armor vary greatly. They surrounded a car and slowly passed by the street. Judging from these traces, these people were not regular soldiers, but bodyguards hired by a merchant. The one who led them was particularly eye-catching. The man was wearing not leather armor, but shiny metal armor, with roses and swords intertwined on his breastplate.
When this team passed by, Ashu Rufate and the little girl also chose to avoid it, just like everyone else.
"Is this person's breastplate very interesting?" the little girl said softly. "Why do you need to apply this pattern on the breastplate?"
"That is the family's heraldry," Ashrufate replied. "This one is a knight from Stigia. The habits in that place are quite different from those here. Their knights all paint the heraldry on their armor."
“Will this cause…especially eye-catching and subject to centralized attacks?”
"No, what every knight does, it doesn't matter." Ashrufate replied, staring at the pattern not far away. "This is the herald of Casilos...the herald of a prominent family. The children of the same family will not change the pattern of the herald, but will change the herald to a personal symbol in different colors. Maybe he is an apprentice knight who has not obtained a territory, maybe he has been deprived of his territory for some reason..."
"Do you know this herald?"
"I probably saw it somewhere... so I have an impression." Ashu Rufate stared at the pattern, and he reluctantly retracted his gaze until the people walked away.
"Impression? Have you been to the Stigia region?"
"Not necessarily." Ashu Rufat replied, "I said, I had... lost my memory before. Speaking of which, among the mercenaries, the knights in the Stigia region are very popular. Because they are not only brave and good at fighting, but also speak with great confidence. Of course, they also have some minor problems, such as following oaths, but these are all minor flaws. Do you know, the mercenary team composed of knights in the Stigia region is about one and a half times the price of the same type of team. Especially the caravans, they like to hire such teams as bodyguards, and they don't care at all. Because even if these knights become mercenaries, they are still loyal, reliable and trustworthy."
It should be like this. As a mercenary, it is normal for them to have some understanding and contact with these Stichian knights.
"Ash Rufate, look, these people came out of that house just now." The little girl signaled. As she looked, she saw a large building with a white slender fish painted on the sign, which was a very concise and vivid pattern.
The next moment, the long-lost feeling rushed into Ashu Rufate's mind. This pattern... For some reason, when I saw this pattern, Ashu Rufate felt very strongly touched. In a trance, a door seemed to appear in front of him. All he had to do was walk into this door. As long as he walked in, all the lost memories would come back immediately. But the next moment, the door disappeared. Ashu Rufate came to his senses. He was standing on a street in the Eagle City Commercial Zone, with people coming and going around him.
"Ashu Rufat, why are you stunned?" the little girl said dissatisfied.
"That logo..."
"Ah, the symbol of the Silverfish Chamber of Commerce." The little girl replied. "Don't underestimate it. This Chamber of Commerce is the legendary kind that is rich enough to rival a country."
"They..." Ashu Rufat felt his throat tightening uncontrollably. "What business is it in?"
"You don't even know this?" the little girl asked strangely. "Disclaimer, withdrawal, mortgage, loan, and issuance of gold Oli. Do you know, Oli is promoted by them. Although the business is simple, the influence is not ordinary... and they also hold many shares in other chambers of commerce."
Why... why does it have such a great impact on this silverfish logo? It's like I'm very familiar with this thing... It's very familiar with it? But in his dreams, those dreams that don't know where they come from but are true and true, there is no such sign.
"Is this area the center of the commercial area?" The little girl stopped and looked around. "To be honest, there is a bit of aristocratic area here."
"have no idea."
"you do not know?"
"Ah, I remember saying that I am not a local, I am from Brassian. I have only been in Eagle City for a few months, and I have half of my time on duty." Ashu Rufate replied.
"Brasian, where is that place?"
"A remote little city." Ashu Rufate replied. "It's very far away from here." Thinking of Brassian, Ashu Rufate couldn't help laughing at himself in his heart. Sure enough, is he accustomed to traveling and wandering? He has been away from Brassian for more than two months, but he has no longing for him at all.
Ashu Rufate quickly put aside these distracting thoughts and returned to reality. In fact, what the little girl said should be right, because there were so many chambers of commerce gathering nearby, it naturally became the center of the trade zone. While he was doing this, he suddenly saw a figure walking out from the gate of the Silver Fish Chamber of commerce in front.
Ashu Rufate quickly grabbed the little girl's hand and dragged her to hide in a small alley next to her.
"Ash Rufate, you fuck... um... um..." the little girl said halfway, but Ash Rufate covered her mouth with her hands.
"Shhh... look, that one."
The little girl stopped struggling in an instant. The one who came out of the Silverfish Chamber of Commerce was Little Grufiz, the diplomatic ambassador of the Beiru. The last time, the little girl met him once by chance, so if she met this time, she would definitely be recognized by the other party.
Ashrufat pulled down the hood of his robe and covered half of his face, while the little girl wrapped her head with a scarf. In this way, she would not be recognized even if she was seen. However, for safety, the two of them still hid in the corner and did not show up.
"That guy... I remember he seems to be leaving in the past two days..." the little girl said softly. "What is he doing here?"
"It's probably just here to withdraw some money." Ashu Rufate said. His eyes were not looking at Little Grufiz, but a woman beside him. In fact, Ashu Rufate still remembers that he accidentally saw Little Grufiz's arrival in the port area with Ajin. At that time, he had this female guard beside him. At that time, the female guard gave him a special impression.
But now, after contacting the Bloody Rose Lalia, the female guard gave him another feeling and a strong intuition.
Little Grufiz did not notice anyone hiding in the corner of the street and secretly observing him. Of course, even if he noticed it, he would not care. Although he came here as a diplomatic envoy, it was just a very ordinary daily activity and would not attract any special attention at all. In fact, the same is true. For him personally, he was just coming to the Silverfish Chamber of Commerce to propose a pocket money. His mission was about to end, so it was normal to spend some money or something.
He came over with a bunch of followers.
"Are you looking at that woman?" The little girl suddenly realized that Asu Rufate's gaze was not aimed at Grufiz. It was difficult to judge who Asu Rufate was looking at when the distance was far away, but now she judged it. "Why are you staring at her?"
"Shh...this woman..." said Ashu Rufat. "Didn't you find that she's strong?"
"Strong?" The little girl couldn't tell at all. For most ordinary people, unless they really take action, they couldn't tell whether they were strong or not.
"Well, at least it's the same level as the Blood-colored Rose... but she's too young." Ashu Rufat looked at the wind chime away and said softly. "No matter how you look, you're only about fifteen years old."
"Really?" The little girl was half-believing and half-doubted. She saw the Blood-colored Rose easily killing more than 20 fully armed men like cutting straw. Judging from the scene at that time, not to mention that there were only twenty men, and dozens of them, it would be just a little more time for the Blood-colored Rose. Can this woman compete with the Blood-colored Rose?
"It should be." Many thoughts came to Ash Rufate's mind, but in the end he suppressed all his impulses, stood in his hiding position and left little Grufiz and his group to go away. "With weapons... I followed little Grufiz immediately, I knew it was a guard at a glance."
The figures of Little Grufiz and his group disappeared into the crowds in the streets, and then Ashu Rufate took the little girl away from the hiding place.
"Do you remember what Grufiz said to you last time?"
"Well, it's all a bunch of empty talk and nonsense." The little girl replied. "On the surface, I seem to have said a lot, but I leave a paragraph in the key areas. It seems that the diplomats are like this."
Chapter completed!
