It was the Moonlight Tavern again.
Schuck liked to talk here mainly because the fruit wine in this place was very delicious.
The black fruit wine tasted like apple-flavored coca-cola.
It was also a bit like Kvass. It was quite delicious.
Most of the time, you liked to go to a certain place for such a simple reason.
Schuck was so handsome that most women would like him.
However, people's sense of beauty was very strange. If there were normal people, there would naturally be abnormal people.
Sitting on Schuck's opposite side, Stephanie felt goosebumps all over her arms as she looked at Schuck's handsome face.
"I've long heard that the new Saint Samurai of the Church of Light is unbelievably handsome. Looking at Schuck's face, Stephanie said calmly, "I'm told that you have something to ask me, sir?"
Schuck was slightly surprised by Stephanie's calmness. He didn't expect that there would be another woman who wasn't affected by his charm.
Of course, Schuck wasn't a domineering CEO or some aloof prince charming. The more a girl ignored him, the more interested he would be and even fall in love with the girl who ignored him.
Schuck was not such an idiot.
He preferred girls who treated him sincerely.
Not to mention that they were beautiful.
Why should I suck up to someone who doesn't like me?
That was Schuck's simple love.
So, he didn't find it strange at all even though Stephanie wasn't moved by his handsome face.
It wasn't like he hadn't seen such a woman before.
Schuck nodded and said, "If it weren't for Roland, I wouldn't have dared to ask you out, First Princess. I'd like to know why you killed your husband two years ago, First Princess."
Stephanie looked rather unhappy, but then she smiled helplessly and said, "Mr. Schuck, is it the Church of Light's idea that you ask about this?"
"No, it's purely my personal question." Schuck had a mouthful of fruit wine and said with a polite smile, "It may have something to do with what I'm investigating."
Stephanie closed her eyes and said, "It's widely said that I couldn't stand him looking for women outside, so …"
"That's not very likely." Schuck waved his hand. "According to our investigation, the eldest son-in-law had been looking for women before he married into the royal family. You've already investigated him. Besides, this kind of thing is normal among the nobles. First Princess, you have a calm personality. You don't seem like someone who would kill her husband over such a small matter. "
Chuckling, Stephanie sighed. "That's true. In the eyes of most people, I'm a person who values profit above all else, and I don't do anything that isn't good. Similarly, this information is not too confidential, but if you want to get an answer from me, you will have to pay a price. "
"What do I have to pay?" Schuck asked.
"I heard you have a red dragon. I need five of her scales."
Schuck slightly narrowed his eyes. "Margret hasn't reached the ecdysis stage yet."
"That's your problem. I only need five Red Dragon Scales. You can ask your dragon to get a few from your clan."
Schuck nodded slightly. "You want to brew a Bloodline potion?"
"Looks like I can't fool you." Stephanie nodded.
Schuck hesitated for a moment. "I didn't know it at first, but Margret told me about it."
It was about a year ago, when Margret first became Schuck's dragon mount.
At that time, although Schuck had a dozen gold coins every month, it wasn't enough to buy some special magic equipment.
Then, Margret said that she could scrape off her dragon scales and sell them, especially the scales on her neck, which could be sold for at least five gold coins each. They could be used to brew the Dragon Bloodline Potion. After drinking it, one could get some dragon bloodline abilities according to one's physique.
What kind of abilities one got and how strong they were, it all depended on luck.
But of course, Schuck didn't scrape off the dragon princess's scales. He couldn't bear to do that.
Schuck thought for a moment and asked, "First Princess, are you going to brew the potion for yourself or for someone else?"
"It's such a rare thing. Of course I'm going to drink it myself."
Schuck glanced at Roland and Andonara who were sitting not far away.
Then he asked again, "How's your relationship with Roland?"
"Not bad, kind of a friend."
Schuck nodded. "Okay, then for Roland's sake, I'll send five dragon scales to you after I go back."
Stephanie's eyes glittered. "Thank you. Since you want to know, I'll tell you. I killed my ex-husband because he tried to control me with black magic. "
Schuck nodded. "He deserved to die."
In black magic, there was a type of mental magic called the Puppet Spell. It was different from the Humanoid Lifeform Control Spell. The Puppet Spell wiped out all the memories and emotions of the person being controlled, turning them into a living dead that only knew how to obey the spell caster. Humanoid Creature Control, on the other hand, was to temporarily shock the enemy's soul with mental power during a battle, putting them in a daze and making them listen to the caster's commands for a short period of time. When the spell was over, the controlled would wake up, and their memories wouldn't be affected.
The viciousness of the two wasn't on the same level at all.
If it were Schuck, he would've killed someone who used Puppet on him too. This spell was too vicious.
Schuck stood up. "Thank you for your information, First Princess. I'll go back now. What you need will be delivered to your manor in a day or two."
Stephanie also stood up and said excitedly, "Thank you very much, sir."
"You're welcome."
Schuck waved at Roland and left the Moonlight Stone Tavern.
Stephanie, on the other hand, walked to a table not far away and sat down next to Andonara. At the same time, she said to Roland, "Thank you."
"Why are you thanking me all of a sudden?" Roland was slightly confused.
He didn't eavesdrop on Schuck and Stephanie's conversation.
"If it weren't for you, Schuck wouldn't have agreed to trade five dragon scales to me." Stephanie's smile was somewhat reluctant. "You said that you were great friends with Schuck. I finally believe you now."
Stephanie was a little frustrated.
She had thought that with her looks, status, identity, and power, Schuck would at least give her some face.
But if Roland weren't here, Schuck definitely wouldn't have agreed to the five dragon scales.
Apart from her frustration, Stephanie was also somewhat unhappy.
The Golden Sons were too difficult to deal with.
Both Roland and Schuck looked neither servile nor overbearing.
They didn't seem to have much respect for the nobles and the royal family.
Temptation didn't work, and coercion didn't work either. After all, each of these Golden Sons seemed to be quite strong and indestructible.
Why did the Life Goddess throw these things into this world?
She couldn't figure it out.
After drinking some fruit wine and eating some pastries in the Moonlight Stone Tavern, Stephanie said that the food here wasn't as good as what her chef made, and that they might as well go back.
The three of them then took a carriage back to the manor.
When the carriage entered the entrance of the square-shaped forest, Andonara, who had been snuggling next to Roland, suddenly sat up straight.
She grabbed her longsword, her pretty eyes slightly bulging. "There's a strong smell of blood."
Roland and Andonara immediately became alert. The carriage moved forward for a few more seconds and then stopped.
The coachman's voice rang out from outside, sounding rather panicked. "First Princess, there are a lot of dead people ahead, blocking the middle of the road."
Hearing that, Andonara immediately jumped out of the carriage, and Roland followed closely behind.
In the middle of the road, there were at least dozens of bodies lying on the ground.
Most of them were black-robed soldiers, and at the very center of these soldiers, there was a plump female corpse.
Roland had seen this woman before. She was the one who had gone forward, blocking the entrance to the First Princess's manor.
Andonara jumped in and flipped the woman's body with her scabbard, then turned over the bodies of the black-robed soldiers, and then said, "They were all stabbed through the heart and died without any pain. The murderer's swordsmanship is quite impressive, and it wasn't an assassination route, but a stabbing sword technique. "
This world was very chaotic, with battles happening from time to time, mostly in groups, so in most cases, melee professions preferred to use heavy weapons to deal with multiple enemies at the same time.
The stabbing sword technique, on the other hand, was usually used in duels.
After all, no matter how you stabbed, you were only attacking one enemy.
"All the dead died at almost the same time, and the dead barely resisted. This murderer's strength is probably already Legendary. What a wonder, how could someone have practiced the stabbing skill to the Legendary level? How did he practice it, stabbing dummies every day? "
Hearing the words "stabbing sword technique" and "Legendary", Stephanie's face turned pale.
Roland happened to see it, and he was about to ask.
But exactly at this moment, Andonara suddenly returned to Roland and said in a low voice, "We're surrounded. There are enemies."
A few seconds after Andonara said that, a team of soldiers wearing gray leather armor and eagle feather helmets of different colors suddenly appeared from the woods.
They were led by a middle-aged man who was holding a long, thin sword.
Seeing him, Stephanie called out softly, "Biden, it's you!"
"First Princess, I didn't expect you to be so cruel either." The middle-aged man was quite handsome. He had an aquiline nose and a long but well-defined face. The only shortcoming was that his hairline was a little receding. "His Majesty heard that Nesir came to cause you trouble, so he asked me to bring her back. But he didn't expect that you would kill her and all her guards. Luckily, I came at the right time when you brutalized Miss Nesir. You killed her brother, and now even her sister has been killed by you. "
Stephanie didn't say anything, but her face grew colder and colder.
Roland walked to her and asked, "It seems to me that your father is trying to deal with you."
Stephanie slightly nodded. "I don't understand why my father wants to kill me, either. I'm already the best candidate to be the next king."
While they were whispering, Biden said, "First Princess, please come to the royal palace with me. You can explain it to the king yourself."
Roland felt that Stephanie would certainly be killed if she went to the royal palace.
Stephanie stepped back. She didn't want to go, and she could guess the consequences.
At this moment, Andonara and Roland stood in front of Stephanie almost at the same time.
