In the previous life, the game between the king and the earl took place in a flash and took no more than two hours in total.
So if you don't know the exact time, it is basically impossible to see the specific situation of the fight.
By the way, the notebook where Selena had written before had been taken away by Old Jed, so Murphy didn’t see the contents inside.
Besides, he had no intention of asking Selena to rewrite it - although Selena would definitely do it if he asked her to do so, but he didn't want to trouble this little girl anymore.
Therefore, Murphy still doesn't know what happened in the royal capital recently, nor does he know what happened to Patrick that made Old Jed laugh like that.
But none of this matters now, we just have to wait for the game to begin.
What is more important now is Selena who is following him.
She no longer held Murphy's arm because it was inconvenient to walk that way, and Murphy's energy was almost replenished, so she changed to holding Murphy's hand and walking together.
Murphy knew that the brother and sister depended on him after he rescued them.
Wood is better. Although he is a cowardly brother, he won't rush up to hug him every day. Of course, even if Wood really wants to hug him, he will refuse.
Selena is completely different. As long as she is with Murphy, she will ignore other people's eyes and stick close to Murphy.
Murphy couldn't refuse, so she could only go along with her and let her do whatever she wanted. It wouldn't be a disadvantage for Murphy anyway.
"Once we enter the royal capital, please lead the way for me. I have never been here before." Murphy said to Selena, who was holding his hand, in the softest voice. He was afraid of disturbing this shy little deer.
Seeing Selena nod vigorously, Murphy continued to ask: "Is there anything you want to do, or what you want?"
Murphy is not very short of money now, or he has no use for the money at all.
In fact, Selena and Wood are not short of money. As one of the leaders of the organization in the royal capital, the people in charge of the accounts will naturally not be stingy with funds.
Besides, the restaurant headed by Wood can also make money. Although it is not much, every little bit is still money. I guess I can save a little in a year.
But this has nothing to do with Murphy buying things for Selena. How she spends her money is her business, and Murphy buying things for her is another matter.
After hearing Murphy's question, Selena first habitually exclaimed "Huh?"
After realizing that this would not make Murphy understand, she let go of her hand, took the small notebook from Murphy's hand, and began to write and draw on it.
Murphy was not in a hurry, after all, Selena was writing as she walked.
After she finished writing, she handed the notebook to Murphy and held his hand again.
"As long as Brother Murphy can stay with me all the time, that's all that's fine."
A line of beautiful handwriting fits Selena's image very well.
At the end of this sentence, there is a big smiling face, which looks like this:
o?o
Murphy looked at the emoji, smiled and shook his head, then he touched Selena's head and walked towards the gate of the royal capital with her, who was so comfortable that she closed her eyes.
"what for?"
"Come to play."
The guard at the city gate who was checking the pedestrians in and out had a bad tone, but Murphy didn't care.
All the gatekeepers in the world are like this, and the ones in the royal capital are no exception.
Compared to greeting every passenger entering the city with a smile, this is more relaxed and also reflects their seriousness.
Not to mention that the guards at the royal capital had to constantly be on guard against the slum scum disguised as ordinary people, preventing them from breaking into the royal capital and stealing the residents' property.
Chapter 80 Raising a Daughter
"Come here to play?" The guard repeated what Murphy had just said, looking at the two of them with a scrutinizing look. Then he pointed at Selena and asked, "Where's she?"
"My sister." Murphy's face was calm and her heart was not beating fast. Her face was so calm that she didn't seem to be lying.
Well, I didn’t lie. Those who are younger than me are my sisters.
Is there a problem?
The guard looked at Selena deeply again, as if he wanted to remember her appearance.
After staring at her like this for a while, the guard came to the conclusion: this was probably the eldest daughter of some foreign noble family who came to the royal capital for a visit with her servants, and it seemed that this eldest daughter had a very close relationship with the servants.
I can't be sure, but it's almost certain. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that delicate face and the temperament of a princess in seclusion.
Although the guard did not recognize which family the young lady was from, he did not continue to question the two of them with the mentality of less trouble is worse than more.
If he extorts money from them according to tradition, he will probably be sentenced to death.
Thinking of this, the guard made way and said to Murphy, "Go in."
He didn't think that Selena was a scum from the slums. Compared to her, her guard might be more like her.
But even if they really are, so what?
I'm just a gatekeeper. Even if I didn't see through the disguise, it would only be considered dereliction of duty. And even if they really wanted to investigate, they might not be able to find the truth about me.
Besides, aren't there still those proud knights in the capital? So even if some scum sneaks in, it doesn't matter; they'll be found sooner or later anyway.
After all, the Knights of the Royal Capital are the glorious light of the Kingdom of Leiden, and what they hate most are these mold spots hanging on the walls of the Royal Capital, right?
"Thank you."
Murphy nodded to the guard and then walked into the capital with Selena.
-------------------------------------
The royal capital actually has its own unique name, just like the border town Lars.
But now it seems to have been completely forgotten - because almost no one uses that name, and everyone generally calls this capital the Royal Capital.
Over time, the name disappeared in the long river of history.
The Kingdom of Leiden was the most powerful human kingdom on the entire continent. Putting aside the slums outside the walls, the roads inside its capital were extremely spacious, probably twice the size of Lars' main road, and more than enough for several carriages to travel side by side.
The houses on both sides of the road are neatly arranged and staggered, as if they were carved out of the same template.
However, although these neatly arranged houses make the royal capital look very clean and tidy, perhaps it is the stereotype at work. Murphy always feels that this makes the royal capital look less special and more boring.
The layout of the royal capital is similar to that of Lars, with different territories divided according to the directions of east, south, west, north and center.
In the square in the center of the royal capital stands a huge statue. It is the founding emperor of the Kingdom of Leiden, and it is much larger than the statue of Leiden XIII in Lars Square.
"Is there anything else you want?" Coming out of a clothing store on the commercial street near the central square, Murphy had a few more packages on his right hand, while his left hand was still held by Selena.
After hearing this question, Selina hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands at Murphy.
She just wanted Brother Murphy to be with her, and never thought of asking him to spend money on her, and Selena didn't ask for those clothes on her own initiative.
She was just walking down the street with Murphy when the clothes displayed in the display cabinet of a roadside clothing store caught her attention and made her look at them for a little longer.
As a result, she was pulled in directly by Murphy.
Selena, who hadn't figured out the situation yet, was dragged into the fitting room by the salesperson to try on a few clothes that Murphy had picked for her.
After showing Murphy the clothes, Selena finally understood the situation and before she could say anything to refuse, Murphy clapped her hands, paid the clerk directly, and bought all the clothes that Selena had tried on.
Watching Murphy paying the bill, Selina opened her mouth but found that she couldn't make any sound.
She couldn't speak at all.
Although the clothes were nice and she really liked them, after following Murphy out of the clothing store, Selena thought hard and decided to take care of her eyes next time and never let the same situation happen again.
Thinking of this, she raised her head slightly and glanced at the sharp-edged profile of Murphy who was holding her hand.
'Thanks. ’
Another sentence that cannot be said.
It was like this before.
Selena wished she could speak. She wanted to thank Murphy properly.
Thank him for saving me from the traffickers; thank him for leading me to find my brother; thank him for giving this brother and sister, who had all their property cheated out of money in order to get medical treatment, a chance to start over.
like.
The moment this thought came to mind, Selena's face turned red.
She didn't dare to look at Murphy secretly again because she was afraid that Murphy's brother would find out about her current embarrassing situation.
For a young girl who has always been under the protection of her brother and has not yet reached adulthood, she has no idea what this feeling is like.
Maybe what she liked were just the clothes that Murphy was holding in her arms.
The instigator of all this, Murphy, had no idea what the little man next to him was thinking.
What is this called? Raising a daughter?
Although it is not certain whether this age difference of no more than five years can be considered a daughter, for Murphy, this kind of daily life is not bad.
Selena is very cute, and from all aspects, she will definitely grow into a beautiful lady who is not inferior to anyone when she grows up.
Murphy feels lucky to have the opportunity to watch such a girl grow up and even to participate in her life.
He still vaguely remembered the day he first met Selena.
Under Old Jed's orders, Murphy went to the black market in Leinburg to find some capable and clean slaves.
Leuenberg was a frontier city of the previous generation. After Lars was built, in order to transport supplies to this new frontier, Leuenberg gradually developed into a more commercial city.
Although Leuvenburg was no longer a frontier fortress of the kingdom after Lars was built, it was undeniable that it was still far away from the capital.
Therefore, after the army and knights were gradually transferred to Lars, the crime rate in Leinburg began to rise steadily, and products such as the black market and slave traders, which should not have appeared, also grew in this evil environment.
Murphy met Selena for the first time at a slave trader on the black market in Leinburg.
Chapter 81 A Smile Like a Blooming Flower
Murphy met Selena for the first time at a slave trader on the black market in Leinburg.
She was locked in a cage, and the cold wind made her frail body shiver.
The look of fear that she couldn't help revealing under his gaze reminded Murphy of an injured fawn that accidentally left its mother and was caught by a hunter.
According to the original situation, Selena would most likely die of hunger and cold in the slave trader's cage, or be sent to the red-light district to satisfy customers with strange fetishes.
Staring at those eyes that unconsciously revealed fear, Murphy made a decision.
He wanted to buy back the fawn, no, the poor girl.
He did the same.
Fortunately, it's not expensive.
After all, Selena is just a girl who has not yet reached adulthood. She is so thin that she can't do anything, and she is also a mute.
No one likes such defective products.
Therefore, in addition to buying the slaves that Old Jed needed, Murphy used his own money, plus secretly embezzled some of the money given by Old Jed, to buy Selena and bring her back to Lars.
Old Jed was no longer surprised by Selena's appearance.
Ever since he had handed over the task of purchasing slaves from Leinburg to his apprentice, he would always pick up some strange things along the way.
But it doesn't matter, as long as he can complete the task assigned to him, it's his own money anyway.
And this woman can at least write, which makes her much better than some of the useless people in the organization who have no ambition and just want to eat and wait for death.
At the beginning, Selena still looked terrified when Murphy approached her, but Murphy was not anxious.
Under his careful care, Selena slowly opened her heart.
Murphy has actually forgotten the specific method, but if you think about it carefully... it's probably similar to raising a small animal.
Later, when her relationship with Murphy had improved, Selena made a request to him for the first and last time.
"Please, help me find my brother."
A piece of paper with only a short line of beautiful handwriting on it.
Looking at Selena's pleading eyes, Murphy fell silent.
He didn't know if he could find it, although he knew that if it was old Jed, he would definitely be able to find it.
If even Old Jed can't be found, then no one can be found.
But Murphy didn't know whether he should bother his master.
Because this is my private matter, just like when I bought Selena, it is a private matter.
Finding Selena's brother is meaningless to the organization.
