Three hundred and fortieth chapters Twin Cities (11)

Danica looked at the ceiling and fell into deep thought. After a while, she sighed slightly and said, "But the energy that Aishi mastered is too strong." What Danica needs now is balance. The rights and trust that Aishi, Catherine, Lemil and Emily have and the trust that she gives are factors that can affect balance. The Aishi Chamber of Commerce controlled by Aishi will be responsible for the finances of the entire Gemini Kingdom. If she shows that she trusts her very much, the energy she has will be too strong, and will overwhelm Katherine and Lemil and become a destroyer of balance.

Phyllis said dismissively: "No matter how powerful her energy is, you can be, and you are still worried that Ai Xue will expand to challenge your authority?"

Danica shook her head and said, "Of course I know she dare not, but her subordinates, those in the Aishi Chamber of Commerce may not dare. Phileas, sometimes I think that an interest group will really have an awareness of autonomy. It will do its best to protect and develop itself. Even as the founder, the controller cannot control it, and can only be carried forward, no matter whether it is a smooth road or a cliff ahead."

Phyllis held her chin with her hands and said, "Are you worried that Ai Xue will be held hostage by Ai Xue Chamber of Commerce?"

"Yes, it can be said that what I need to balance is not the balance between Aishe, Catherine and Lemil, but the balance between Aishe Chamber of Commerce, the army and the Gemini government. In addition..." Danica said tiredly, "I am also worried that I am being swept away by this Gemini Kingdom, so I must control and firmly control everything in this kingdom. The way to control is balance. When all forces are balanced, no group dares to use their own interests to threaten me, the queen."

Philis frowned slightly, but said nothing. Although Danica didn't mean this, according to her statement, Philis herself had actually been "swallowed" by the Elf Court and sacrificed her own interests for the interests of the Elf Court. This is one of the manifestations.

This thought made Phyllis feel a little irritated, but this emotion is really not suitable to be expressed at this time. She rubbed Danica's face intimately and said, "Okay, after being so heavy, you should have a good rest. I'll see you later."

"Ah..." Danica was a little surprised by this intimate action of Philis. She was stunned for a moment before asking, "Where are you going to rest?" Danica now occupied Philis' bedroom.

Phyllis smiled gently and said, "I'll just ask Ai Xue to arrange another room."

After Phyllis left, Danica moved her body carefully and let herself lie down again. The weak soul and mental fatigue caused by her serious injury made Danica feel very uncomfortable. She wanted to have a good sleep, but found that she couldn't sleep at all. She didn't know if her head was painful or dizzy, but she felt very uncomfortable.

Danica was lying on her back, her wounds prevented her from moving. Staring at the ceiling, Danica's thoughts began to fly, recalling what Berey said before, that the assassination came from Cass Town, and the name seemed very familiar, there was... In a daze, a flash of inspiration appeared. Danica finally remembered that she had indeed been there. When she met Elizabeth, she had followed the Holy Maiden of the Holy See of Light to Cass Town to provide disaster relief, and many things happened there. However, did she offend anyone at that time? With this question, Danica finally fell asleep in a drowsy state.

It was already evening when Danica woke up. She looked at the clock in the corner and it was two o'clock in the morning.

It was already past two o'clock, and he was sleeping quite long. Danica lifted the quilt and looked at it. There was no more blood in the wound that had been bandaged by Philis. It seemed that the wound had not deteriorated at least, so that was good. As long as it did not deteriorate, it could slowly recover with the physical fitness of a middle-level profession. Danica carefully moved her hands and feet and tried to avoid hindering the wound. Now the wound has begun to slowly recover, and the pain at the wound has also recovered. If you are not careful, you will feel a piercing pain, which makes you unable to help but pump the air conditioner.

It took more than ten minutes for Danica to sit up and stuff a thick cushion behind her back. Danica took a picture of the small bell at the head of the bed.

After the filming, Danica suddenly thought of a very interesting question. Who will come in later? Is it the maid of the Aishi Chamber of Commerce, or the guards disguised as maids, or Aishi, Emily and the others themselves?

The question was answered soon. In less than a minute, Ai Xue pushed the door and walked in, asking, "What are the instructions of the master?"

"You haven't gotten a rest yet?" Danica asked casually, her tone not very friendly, but it was also the tone of her usual speaking.

However, this was enough to make Ai Xue smile slightly, and the master finally stopped looking at herself with that cold look. Ai Xue said respectfully: "I am still preparing the ingredients." With Philis's reminder, Ai Xue brought in a batch of medicinal materials such as scorpions, centipedes, and poisonous snakes from the drug shop of the Ai Xue Chamber of Commerce. Philis had previously specifically reminded that it was best not to use his hands on this matter, so Ai Xue had to do it himself.

After saying this, Ai Xue felt a little regretful and her heart raised up again. Although it was very beneficial to Ai Xue to get Philis’s attention, she did not know Danica’s attitude towards it. Ai Xue knew that her master had a strong desire to control her, and she didn’t know whether Philis’s preference for her would arouse Danica’s dissatisfaction.

Danica was silent for a while and asked again, "Where is Emily?"

Ai Xue calmed down and said, "Emily is investigating the assassination incident, and it should have made some progress now." Ai Xue dug a small pit for Emily in this sentence. It has been more than ten hours since the assassination incident. "It should have made some progress, but what if there isn't? Danica asked how Emily answered?

However, Danica didn't seem interested in the investigation of the assassination. She said lazyly: "I'm a little hungry, please get some food."

Aishi was a little disappointed, but Danica didn't care about Emily's work and was also happy. She calmed down and asked, "What do you want to eat by the owner?"

Danica thought for a while and said, "Aren't you talking about the ingredients? Just make the ones you have processed, not too many, just one or two dishes, and... and then... and just serve with a bowl of porridge, ordinary millet porridge."

Ai Xue should have been prepared. After more than half an hour, she came in with a tray. She put a small table on Danica's bed. Ai Xue brought her crispy centipede and fried scorpion, and a bowl of milky yellow millet porridge. Ai Xue had practiced her cooking skills before, but the things she made now are not as beautiful as those of the top chef, at least they tasted good, which was enough to meet Danica's food requirements.

Danica picked up a little scorpion and took a small bite, chewing it slowly, and it still had a familiar smell! A warm warm current penetrated the whole body, and the slightly cold body recovered from the serious injury. Perhaps because it was because it had not been poisoned for a long time, Danica felt very obvious this time.

Seeing the joyful expression that could not be hidden on Danica's face, Ai Xue could finally confirm that the owner she had known for more than ten years did have such a hobby - she liked to eat biological toxins. Although it was a bit strange, there was no need to make a fuss. There were many special physiques in this world due to different bloodline inheritances. Danica was not particularly outrageous.

After eating this simple dinner, Danica breathed a sigh of relief as if she closed her eyes and felt every cell in her body cheering and cheering because of the stimulation of toxins, warm, as if she had taken a hot bath in winter.

Seeing that Danica was immersed in a special beauty, Ai Xue carefully tidied up the small table, tableware, etc. and left the room silently. Danica lay on her side in the quilt and finally could have a good sleep.

Danica had already sunk into her dream, but Emily hadn't rested yet. She held her head with one hand and stared at a musket on the table.

Ai Xue guessed right, Emily did gain something, at least she found the murder weapon. Danica is a fourth-level profession, and not even any musket can hurt her like this. The bullets shot by ordinary hunting rifles cannot even penetrate her skin. Danica almost killed with one blow, and this musket is definitely not simple.

But this is just Emily's speculation. After observing for so long, she did not find any difference in this musket. On the surface, this is an ordinary hunting rifle, and it has been used for a long time and is already a bit old.

It seems that I need to ask a professional, but there is no such talent in the Guards that have been established for a while. If I really want to find a blacksmith, I can only go to the Aixe Chamber of Commerce to find it.

He was going to deal with Ai Xue again, and Emily muttered in her heart. Emily didn't say she hated Ai Xue very much, of course she couldn't say she liked it, she was just a general friend. This is also a very interesting point. I don't know if it was a coincidence or everyone knew it. The relationship between the few people under Danica was very weak, and she didn't say who was particularly good with whom, and there was no serious grudge between each other.

Emily picked up the musket and walked towards Ai Xue's room. She had noticed that Ai Xue had not rested before and had been busy in the kitchen. She didn't know what she was doing. Do you plan to make a meal for herself? Thinking of this, Emily touched her belly. She was really hungry until she was busy. She went to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat.

As a result, in the corridor, Emily met Ai Xue holding a tray.

"What are you doing?" Emily asked curiously.

Ai Xue smiled and said, "The master just woke up and ate something."

"Oh." Emily responded and explained her purpose directly. "I found a musket, which should be the assassination tool left by the murderer. Can you find a few blacksmiths with good skills to help identify it?"

Ai Xue didn't expect Emily's request to be so natural, as if the awkward relationship between them had completely disappeared during the day. But Ai Xue immediately responded: "Okay, no problem."

Emily said: "Can you do it now? This result is important for the investigation."

Ai Xue thought for a while and said, "Okay, do you want to come together?"

Although it was already late at night, Ai Xue and Emily went to the craftsman workshop of the Ai Xue Chamber of Commerce in a carriage. It was built by Ai Xue imitating the dwarf workshop, covering a wider area and more complete facilities. It is considered a research and development base of the Ai Xue Chamber of Commerce in the forging field. This workshop is home to ten dwarf blacksmiths and three human blacksmiths. They can experiment with new steel, study the impact of different tempering methods on the quality of weapons and equipment, and can also let go of their imaginations and create what they imagined in their hearts. All the materials in the workshop are provided for free, and each craftsman can also receive a salary of 100 gold coins per month, which is a generous job.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the workshop, and Emily heard the sound of striking irons. She asked, "The blacksmiths have not yet rested?"

"These blacksmiths are pure craftsmen, and they often work all night for an idea," Aishi explained.

After getting off the carriage, Emily keenly felt that in addition to the guards at the door, there were some secret whistles in several corners, monitoring everything around them. The arrival of the carriage they were on had already alarmed the secret whistles, but when they saw that Ai Xue was bringing people over, they quickly retreated and hid in the darkness again.

Ai Xue also greeted the guard at the door, pushed the door and walked in. The workshop yard was very large, with two stoves in the corner. A young man stood beside him, holding a piece of bright red iron with tongs and placing it on the chopping board, and hitting it one by one with a hammer. It was already autumn, and it was late at night, but the young man was still shirtless, and the heat brought by the burning fire was rushing on his body. The big drop of sweat was rolling on his bright muscles, with a rough beauty.

Not far away, an old dwarf with a gray hair and beard sat on the chair. There was a jar of wine and a bowl on the small table next to it. The old dwarf observed the piece of iron that the young man was beating and took a sip of wine from time to time.

"He is the most skilled blacksmith in the workshop." Ai Xue whispered to Emily, walked over and said, "Old Moro, good evening!"

Old Moro was observing the changes in the iron. The sudden sound made him frown. The irritable old man was just about to start scolding, but he saw that Ai Xue was standing next to him.

"Boss! Is there anything wrong?" Old Moro suppressed the fire in his heart and asked impatiently.
