"The plan has changed, and we have to go to Fagado, the capital of Locente. ”

This was what Charlotte had said to Vivien and Lolita four days ago.

The original plan was to go from Locente to the Calvi Grand Canyon via Lucerne to Savoie Fort. There, she investigates the anomalies that Vivien Leigh deduced in the formula, and finally rushes back to Icewind Castle from Savoie Castle.

There was no planned trip to Fagado to visit Uncle Herbert, but after hearing of the defeat of the Duchy of Losente, Charlotte temporarily decided to visit Fagado.

If the situation really gets to the worst level, not to mention the rest, Charlotte feels that at least she has to save a few lives among the hosts.

Although Vivien and Lolita can't wait to go home and have a look, since Charlotte has made a decision, they naturally won't object as disciples. Not to mention that Rosente and their friend Nell, in a way, Vivienne was even more worried than Charlotte.

"Alas, I can't live this day, I can't live it!"

This is the phrase that the bearded businessman has been saying the most these days.

The further east you go, the more refugees you see fleeing from Locente. Unable to survive, these refugees had no choice but to take risks through dangerous war zones, across long borders, and at the risk of being hunted down by the Hocente invaders and captured by the soldiers of the Kingdom of Sauron.

The unlucky of them all died on the way to escape, the most fortunate were taken by the kingdom of Sauron or the invaders and became the lowliest slaves to endure the slave owners for the rest of their lives, and the luckiest were the blackmen, who could only do the most heavy work with the cheapest wages or fall into the grass like the deserters.

The mages accompanying the caravan had seen the refugees more than once, escorted by Sauron's soldiers, locked in wooden cages like animals, their eyes filled with confusion and despair.

Or hide behind the shrubs and rocks of the Gobi, look at the caravan with vigilant eyes, and flee at the slightest disturbance. Of course, there are also those who are bold or really unable to survive, and will be bold enough to ask the caravan for some food. Whenever this happens, the mustache will throw the leftover bones and gnawed bread on the ground with a disgusted expression, and shout at them to get out of here.

The first time this happens, Lolita and Vivien are disgusted, and the former even regrets saving Mustache's life. But Bazihu understood the thoughts of the two women, so he explained with a bitter face.

"Two little ladies, I can't help it. There are so many refugees, if I don't do this, once I get out of the word, people will think I'm a fool and a good person. I'm willing to bet that it won't be long before those refugees will be swarming in, even risking their lives for food and wealth. ”

This answer made Charlotte, who had also been unswerving, awe-inspired, and made Lolita and Vivien suddenly realize.

Little people have the survival wisdom of small people, and it is no exaggeration to say that if Charlotte is deprived of his aura and let him be born in a civilian home in this life, I am afraid that he will already die on the streets.

It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books, and the closer she gets to the border, the more Charlotte feels. Her own private affairs and the sweets and sorrows of the world are all in her heart, which makes Charlotte think about Steeu's future path again.

Incidentally, Charlotte let the three deserters go on the day of the robbery. They really wanted to serve Charlotte, but for Charlotte, unless he was stupid, he would choose a group of deserters, and they were not very capable deserters.

Considering a philosophy of survival in return for the nonsense taught by example, Charlotte waited for the bearded merchant in the border city for a day. The businessman who dumps goods at a reduced price is good at the philosophy of survival, although he makes a lot less, but in this world, saving his life is obviously the most important thing.

He disbanded the local mercenaries and accompanied Charlotte with only a few henchmen. After another two days, the group finally arrived at the border outpost.

"Are you sure you're going to Lotsant at this time? ”

Approaching the border post on the side of the Sauron Kingdom, the officer on duty took the money bag handed by the Bazihu and reminded kindly while signing the exit paperwork.

It seems that he has a good relationship with the businessman.

"Hey, what can be done in this world? No one knows when the war will end, can I still wait for Sauron to calm down?" The wrinkles on the merchant's face were a few inches deeper, and he sighed like a little old man who was about to die.

These words seemed to touch the officer's heart, and the pen he was holding froze in the air for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said, "I just hope that the war will not affect Sauron, damn the six kings of the empire!

Although the kingdom of Sauron was wealthy, it was sandwiched between two powerful neighbors, the Western Federation and the San Lorenzo Empire in the east, and its army was weak. For the Saurons, it was best for the world to remain the same.

The bearded merchant glanced at Charlotte, but did not dare to answer this.

Although he hadn't heard the conversation between the deserter and Charlotte that day, the contact these days had made him more and more aware of Charlotte's extraordinaryness. Merchants are all about sight and information, and after that day's panic, the merchants quickly become aware of Charlotte's true identity. The silver-haired spellcaster from Icewind Castle, the answer is already on the horizon.

Although the scarlet pupils are different from the silver-haired black pupils that the bard sings, the bearded merchant is sure that the other party is most likely the legendary dragon slayer, the future king of the North, Charlotte, which is also confirmed by Charlotte's great concern for Locente.

And Charlotte, who is the son of Archduke Lawrence of Erosa, the nephew of Archduke Herbert of Lotsente, and the godbrother and legal heir of Archduke Sylvia of Icewind Castle, is very likely to inherit Icewind Castle and Erotha in the future and become the king of the North in the true sense.

Well, now it's quite possible to add a defeated Losente.

That's why businessmen take the risk to travel with Charlotte. Not only is it safe and secure, but think about it! What kind of reward will he get in the future when he walks with the king who is likely to dominate San Lorenzo in the future!

"What!Caught the stowaway again!?"

The officer's roar interrupted the merchant's sweet dream. Mustache looked up and saw the officer pull out the leather whip from his waist like a raging lion, and ordered loudly.

"Bring them up!"

When the soldiers brought a dozen or so refugees, the officer's anxiety about the future completely turned into rage. He strode towards the shivering refugees huddled on the ground, and the poor, poorly clothed people fled, revealing a hungry woman.

Next to the woman stood a scrawny boy, whose ribs were clearly visible. The officer, in a fit of rage, raised his whip and swung it at the woman.

"Mom!"

The frightened child subconsciously pounced on the woman, and the officer's leather whip was pumped hard, and the boy, who was already weak, suddenly wailed, and his muscles twitched and fell to the ground. The sluggish woman then realized what had happened, and she cried loudly as she held the child's body, only to find that her child was gradually losing her breath.

The officer was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, the woman, who was originally hungry and exhausted, poured out a force from nowhere and pounced on the officer like an angry female cat.

"You give me back my son! you give me back—"

"Crazy woman! let me go!

The woman known as the mad woman bit the soft flesh of the officer's waist and tore the officer's blood like a beast. The soldier next to him rushed up in anger and punched and kicked the woman, while the officer kicked the woman in the jaw with his knee.

By the time Charlotte saw the chaos on this side, the woman was already bruised, coughing up blood, and collapsed with the child. Holding the child's body before dying was her last effort as a mother.

"Bastard, you damned beast, madman!" the officer kicked the corpse's head with his boots, clutching the wound on his waist with one hand and drawing his scimitar with the other, staring at the feared refugees with red eyes like a vicious beast.

Finally, the officer who kicked the woman's body hard and strode towards the refugees who were scattered and hiding, but Charlotte blocked his way.

"What do you want to do! Get out of the way!" the officer raised his cutlass and the soldiers around him flashed their weapons.

The merchant immediately rushed to the officer, opened his hand to protect Charlotte, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! My nephew didn't mean to offend you!"

Seeing the merchant, the officer finally calmed down a little.

Charlotte pushed the merchant away, and said in a clear and clear voice, "From the merchant's point of view, I just want to remind you that a living slave is worth more than a dead one." ”

If it was Charlotte in the past, she would probably not hesitate to take action, but what if that happened? He himself could have walked away, but what about after he left? The soldiers of the Kingdom of Sauron would inevitably not take revenge on the refugees, and in doing so, they might have saved the lives of a dozen or so people, but it would only kill many more.

As she experienced, Charlotte realized that even in a high position and extraordinary power, he couldn't make everything run the way he wanted.

After calming down, perhaps realizing Charlotte's extraordinaryness, the officer looked at the mage vigilantly and accepted the explanation.

"You'd better take care of your nephew, you may not be able to survive in a fierce battle zone like this!" Faintly aware of Charlotte's extraordinary officer, he didn't dare to do anything with the mage, and just said a cruel word to the merchant.

After the hiccup, the group left the post in silence.

On the way, even Lolita, who was once considered a troublemaker by the merchant, had a straight face. Perhaps seeing that the atmosphere was too dull, the merchant said to Charlotte with a smile without words.

"I thought you'd be tempted to make a move. ”

"Why do you think that?" Charlotte asked amusedly.

"Because ......," the merchant glanced at the bored El, "I thought the strong had their own set of policies. ”

Lolita and Vivien pricked up their ears, and the two inexperienced girls seemed to be puzzled by Charlotte's weak behavior. Not to mention the teachers with extraordinary strength, even the two of them have the confidence to deal with those outpost soldiers.

I used to do that, but now I'm realizing that violence and kindness won't solve the problem. Charlotte patted the merchant on the shoulder with a smirk, "You taught me this." So, don't worry, friend, as long as you walk with me, I will do my best to keep you safe. ”

The word 'friend' made the merchant react, and he waved his hand in a panic, "I'm sorry, my lord, I didn't mean to offend you, the situation was ......."

"I know! don't be nervous, look! I don't look like a brutal mage, do I?" said Charlotte, as silent as she had been a while ago.

The businessman, who realized that he was not interested in conversation, stopped bothering with interest, and remembered the word 'friend', and he could not help but fall into a beautiful imagination.

"What are you thinking, Uncle Overwork!" Lolita frowned, "To be honest, your mustache is extremely obscene!"

The merchant wasn't angry!He felt the need to settle down with a possible future Icewind Castle First Mage.

(It's time for the PY transaction again!No, no, no!It's serious!Xiao Qiuye's "The Profiteers of the Worlds" is recommended to you!I watched him laugh at me last night, which is a spoiler, so I won't tell you the reason for the laughter.) In short, I think my friends who are so depressed can take a look, and it is also appropriate to change their mood!)
