Chapter 18 Target: Niubao (Page 1/2)
Frank was not particularly surprised by Mrs. Wendy's answer.
In fact, after leaving the Kingdom of Cintra, the lady had already secretly expressed this intention, wanting to stay by his side and continue to work for him.
It's just that now he took the initiative to propose it, which can be regarded as a formal answer to both parties.
As an orphan and a widow, it is better to rely on a strong man and be taken care of by him than to start a new life in a strange place. This is the survival concept of most women.
What's more, Mrs. Wendy is a weak and beautiful woman who has no power to resist at all. She has a daughter who is only ten years old.
If a beautiful woman like her has no one to protect her, she will often be persecuted in the face of the malice in the world and the greed of evil people. In the end, she will either become someone's forbidden food or become a prostitute due to life.
In the fucked-up worldview of the wizard world, this is a high probability event.
Frank reached out and touched Vanessa, who looked up at him with a nervous expression. The little girl was probably afraid that he would refuse. Her eyes were watery and seemed ready to shed tears at any time.
Even Ciri came over, tugged at Frank's sleeve, and said loudly:
"Frank, don't drive away Vanessa and Mrs. Wendy, I like them very much."
He smiled gently, patted Ciri's gray hair, and comforted little Vanessa's emotions, then looked at Wendy with tears in her eyes, and said:
"In this case, let's stay in this town for two days."
"If we want to leave here, we must be prepared."
His tone paused for a second, then he looked into the distance and said calmly:
"My next destination is Niubao, the town of Oxenfurt. It is an academy town with the most intellectuals in the entire north, the largest academy, the most relaxed political environment, and a very good business atmosphere. It is a suitable place to live."
"It is also the academy of all bards. Every year, large-scale singing and dancing performances and drama performances are held there, and the town is full of bards."
"After we get there, we can also arrange for Vanessa and Ellie to go to school there, and I can also find a good job."
"You will like it there."
After hearing Frank's description, Wendy, Ciri and Vanessa, two little girls, all showed curiosity and yearning.
They began to imagine what a beautiful place the town called Niubao he mentioned was.
In this ancient and backward world, the wild has always been very dangerous. There are not only monsters, robbers and wild beasts, but also long distances and high costs, which almost cut off people's fantasy of long-distance travel.
Most people have never left their hometowns in their lives. They were born and raised here. They have been exploited by the nobles for a long time, and entertainment conditions are very scarce.
Especially for little girls like Ciri and Vanessa, the charm of the bard is extraordinary. Even Mrs. Wendy, who has an elegant temperament and likes reading and poetry, has a yearning for the famous Niubao.
However, that is a matter for later. Frank brought the three women to a hotel in the town, enjoyed a home-cooked meal, and rented two rooms in the hotel.
After arranging all the trivial matters, it was already afternoon.
He left the hotel alone, wandered around the town, observed the residents, and after asking around, he came to the bulletin board in the center of the town square and began to check the notices posted on it.
The reason he came here was because of a very realistic problem.
Yes, that's right, Frank had no money.
The coins he robbed from the forest bandits were not much, and although he later received a reward from the merchant Andrew Nary, after more than a month of fleeing, he had to pay for the living expenses of four people, and the money he had had was almost all spent.
