(Still only 3,000 words)

Not long after waking up, I briefly combed my messy hair, and came to the small dining room on the first floor of the hotel to gather, and just sat down, planning to wait for the other two to come. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info picked up the tea that didn't even have a piece of tea, and only then took a sip, Paz rubbed his eyes and walked over slowly.

"Path, you're too slow!"

"It's only seven o'clock, eh, Vance?"

"Out of the house. ”

Glancing at Path, Danica's tone was understated, as if she didn't care at all, but there was a faint doubt in her heart, Vance left a letter in the room and left, without saying where to go, what the hell was going on.

"Where are you going?"

"I don't know, I heard him say he was visiting an old friend. ”

Danica could only answer him like this, although she cared a lot about who that old friend would be, but ...... Vance he definitely doesn't have to worry, compared to the next, it's Paz in front of him.

"Ha Vance still has friends??!

Paz was surprised that Vance had always been so low-key in Ridingpa, and that there were hardly many people who had deep friendships other than Dawn, and that they still didn't know that there would be friends.

"I didn't expect Vance to have such a secret friend, it sounds curious!"

"How can people have no friends, don't care about Vance now, there are only the two of us left today, and I will go to the palace in a while. I'm going to go to the palace these days, haven't you forgotten, what are you going to do? Don't just walk around, and don't spend money casually!"

"Don't lecture me like that, I'll walk around the streets, and I don't have anything to do anyway. ”

"Well, I'm a little worried about you. ”

"Hey, Danica, that's what I said, it doesn't matter if you go to the palace alone, I'll accompany you, right?"

“…… Don't, I'm worried about you, you don't know the style of those nobles, and if you see that you don't like it, you will be charged with a crime. I'm also a nobleman, and I've had experience in dealing with it. ”

"But, Danica!"

"I'll just go alone. ”

"Well, I can't persuade you, really, why isn't Vance here, isn't his duty to protect you?"

"That can't be helped. ”

"Okay, I'll go out into the streets today, and I'll be able to get Vance back. ”

"I think you'd better not do that, Vance isn't an old fool. ”

"But, what if you are troubled? Let's not talk about whether you will be blamed by him, I don't want to see you in crisis!"

"It's annoying, that's the end of this topic, don't worry, I have a secret weapon!"

Danica pointed to the boots she was wearing, and Paz looked at them in confusion with a big question on her face. Danica asked him to bow his head and simply stuck her foot out a little, revealing something.

"Huh, it's dangerous to be discovered, isn't it, but it's still hiding there?"

"I'm sure it will come in handy. ”

Since leaving Carranslan, Danica has decided to prepare this thing, which I believe will come in handy.

The door to the tavern opened, and amid the cacophony of drinkers, a man glanced around, and finally walked to the bar, where he sat down.

"I didn't expect you to know about me. ”

"The teacher told me your name before he died, and the children told me about Ridingpa. ”

"So, why?"

"I have a request, please come with me to meet someone. ”

"I refuse. ”

"Please don't turn me down right away, I know your concerns, and I'll arrange for someone to help you serve the man. We're really short of people right now, and I'm just hoping to borrow a little bit of your time, there's a guy who needs a trial. ”

"Trials?"

******

Walking out of the meeting room, Danica looked around, found a place to sit down, and rubbed her knees.

"My feet are numb, and I have been standing for so long. ”

After standing for almost a day, he listened to the speech of His Majesty the King, who was not much older than himself, for more than an hour, and then spoke in turn, starting with the great nobles, to the ministers in charge of military affairs and finances, and then to the high nobles who enjoyed certain status, status, and rights, and recounted the various arrangements made at the beginning of the Six Nations Conference.

It is also because of the importance of the events of the six-nation meeting that new requirements have been put forward in terms of taxation.

For this reason, the other nobles repeatedly objected, saying that the domains for which they were responsible could not accept the increase in taxes for one reason or another. In short, it is this kind of big and small things that are put on the table, and they are said together, and there are all kinds of voices, as well as about the annual funding of the Magic Guild, the means to combat the Thieves Guild, and so on.

At the end of such a day, not only my feet were tired from standing, but even my head was a little dizzy.

"Speaking of which, I just ate a little bit at noon, and I barely drank much water today. ”

"I'm a little hungry, so I'd better go back quickly, lest Paz worry him." ”

After sitting for a while, I was about to get up when I heard a sneer.

"Hmph, you're still here. ”

The owner of the voice is a rather annoying fellow, and although he is good-looking, his personality is really not pleasing to people, and he has tormented Danica many times in the past.

"Oh, that's you. ”

"You're really blind, do you know who you're talking to right now?"

He narrowed his eyes, revealing his displeasure.

"My face is indeed not as thick as yours, if it's okay, please go to someone else to chat, I still have something, goodbye. ”

"You guy!"

Seeing her attitude, Norman felt even more angry, even more angry than when they first met.

At that time, he said a lot of words, and when he saw her eyes, the eyes that refused to admit defeat, he felt even more angry.

"What did you do when you came to my house?"

Norman Magoria didn't want to let Danica go away like this, so he reached out and grabbed her by the shoulders and forcibly stopped her.

"Explain to me what your idea is. ”

"Huh, what are you talking nonsense?"

Huoda glared at him, shook off his hand, and walked away quickly, not wanting to stay longer for a moment, lest the other party continue to entangle.

Although he considered improving his relationship with the Magria family and other nobles, it didn't mean that Danica would smile and please this guy named Norman.

As for how to do it, what is the method, it is better to think about it in the future, or to give it all up, get useful advice from others, no longer hide and solve it alone, now it is better to get out of here quickly!

"Path, I'm back!"

******

The problem of the pit viper snake group was solved, and the group moved on.

It passes through a dense forest where trees generally grow and where the carriage is not easy to navigate.

It took a considerable amount of time to pass through here, twisting and turning, winding the way in order to find a path that could accommodate the carriage.

"It's really troublesome, because I didn't want to take a long detour, so I chose a shortcut, I didn't expect it to be so difficult. ”

"This dense forest is not suitable for horse-drawn carriages, so the ground here can be kept so clean. ”

Neil and Charlie both poked their heads out and looked out the window, only Joel remained silent, oblivious to their surroundings.

After about half an hour, the carriage slowly stopped, and Lancy shouted inside, signaling that it was time to change people.

"The reins are almost grinding off my palms. ”

Surveying his hands, Lance sighed.

"Lance, I've got some medicine with me, take some and wipe it for you. Xia Li thoughtfully took out a small bottle and gave a little Lance, and at the same time did not forget to say to Neil, who was sitting outside, "Neil, I will give you some too, you must wipe it." ”

"I see!"

To be honest, Lance was a little surprised, Charlie was Neil's fiancée, and from the beginning to the present, Lance felt that the two of them were more of a family like brothers and sisters than a couple.

Neil is often the one to be taken care of, and from the looks of it, the two of them should be about the same age.

Xia Li went out for a while and then returned to the carriage and complained with emotion.

"Really, why hasn't Ami come back yet, saying that he was going to explore the way for us, but he didn't show up for most of the day. ”

Another period of time passed, probably more than an hour, and when the group finally left the dense forest, and when they breathed a sigh of relief, Ami did not wait for them at the exit.

"What the hell, Ami. ”

"Although Ami likes to run around, she has never been so nonsense, and I am a little worried. ”

"Front. ”

Joel half-stood up and gestured to the area where he had been after leaving the forest.

"Noticed?"

"Attention?"

"Huh?

"Did I see it wrong, this view, it seems that I have seen it somewhere?"

"Look, Neil, over there, the stone wrapped around the tree, we've seen it before!"

Charlie grabbed Neil and started running in that direction.

Lance also walked over and looked at the place where Charlie had spoken.

Only Joel stayed where he was, standing by the carriage, doing nothing.

“……”

"How is that possible? Aren't this tree and this stone the view we saw before we entered the forest?"

That is to say...... A few hundred meters further on, haha...... How could it be. ”

"I think you're thinking too much, it's just a similar stone and a tree, who put it here on purpose, let's just keep walking, Ami must be waiting for us in front, probably. ”

"But someone put it here on purpose?"

Xia Li couldn't think about it, who would be so boring.

And they had been to this jungle before, but they had not used a carriage that time, and the trees were much taller and stronger than they were now.

Thinking so, Xia Li noticed something strange.

"Now, Neil, remember, we've been here too."

"Huh, have you been here?"

"In just one or two years, do trees grow so fast?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, isn't the tree growing very slowly?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about, are we here? I don't remember. ”

"Well, you're always so forgetful. Xia Li shook her head, "Let's keep walking and see how it goes." ”

They walked back into the carriage, and Joel followed him, as silent as ever, without speaking.
