(Happy New Year's Day, the order of this chapter and the previous chapter will be reversed, everyone knows it, I won't change it)

Three days later, one morning, while Nevit was washing her face, she heard a knock on the door. Since wearing the water mask, the small matter of washing www.biquge.info face has become more sloppy, and it is better to wipe the mask than to wash the face, and after each wipe, you should be especially careful not to let any water droplets stay on it.

After a moment's delay, Nevit went over to open the door.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. ”

After opening the door, standing in the doorway was the herald.

The herald told Nevette to assemble in the square by nine o'clock, and then left to inform the others.

At nine o'clock, the people who had been notified stood in the square, whispering discussions, while waiting for Grienel to appear.

At nine-five o'clock, Grienel finally appeared, striding forward, followed by three guards.

Grienel looked at everyone and asked one of the guards to quickly count the number of people, and seeing that everyone was there, he was on the subject.

"It's been a hard time for everyone, the work in Xinzhen has been almost completed, and the rest of the follow-up work is also going well. Yesterday I spent the whole day inspecting each place and everyone did a great job. In an hour I will leave Newtown for a moment and go to Zanka to report to His Majesty on the progress of Newtown. ”

"The reason why I gathered everyone together was to select ten people to accompany me to Zanka as escorts. Those who are named stand up, and those who are not named stay here. Listen, Prince Ben will not allow anyone to have any objections! Next, I will leave some time for those ten people to go back and pack their things, time is precious, if anyone raises objections, don't blame me for being unkind!"

With the last sentence, Grienel drew his sword and displayed it in front of everyone.

No one, after Greell had the audacity to come forward and take offense.

At 10:15 a.m., the carriage was ready, and stopped at the entrance to the new town of Lidona, and Grienel took the original three guards and the ten who were later named, plus a herald, and left the new town in three carriages.

The carriages in which Grienel sat were sandwiched in the middle, each with five people, with Grienel and the herald and two guards seated together, while the other guard sat outside and drove the carriage.

Sitting in the carriage, Grienel looked at the two guards across from him, and threw out a question.

"Do you know why I called your names?"

"Your Excellency?"

The guard sitting on the left was a little confused and didn't know what the question meant.

"How long have you been following me?"

"It's been five years, Your Majesty. ”

"What about you. ”

"It's been less than a month. ”

"I don't want to test your loyalty, for as long or as little as you follow me. The herald by my side will give you a letter, the content of each letter is different, and the content of the letter is the task I have given you, and I will carry it out well before returning to Zanka. I warn you not to reveal the contents of the letter to anyone, and it is better to tear it up and throw it away after reading it. ”

"Give it to them. ”

The herald nodded, pulling out two letters.

One for the guard on the left, and one for Nevit, who was sitting on the right.

Taken aback, Nevit took the letter, and was a little surprised when he was named in the square, and was in the same carriage as Grienel.

"I don't recommend that you open the letter now. ”

After seeing them take it, Grienel said again.

Sitting in the carriage, occasionally chatting a few words, when the people around me start to feel sleepy, close their eyes and fall asleep. Nevit took out the letter, opened it, and looked at it, asking the herald next to Grienel, who was napping, if there was any flint.

The herald took out a flint and lent it to Nevit.

Nevit turned, opened the window, rubbed the flint a few times to produce a spark, brought the envelope close to the flint, and threw the burning letter out of the window, returning the flint to the scribe.

"Becoming a herald trusted by the Prince at such a young age is not something that ordinary people can do. I just read the letter, and I can't understand what it means, and it doesn't look like it's the Prince, and I don't know who wrote it. I thought, maybe the adult thought that the journey back was long and boring, so he sent a letter to each of us to pass the time. ”

The letter contained only one sentence, and it focused on the other three people who were in the same carriage except Grienel.

"Is that so? I don't know. ”

The herald laughed, there was more than one herald by Grienel's side, but she was the only one on this trip, and the relationship was not shallow.

Even if she was now dressed as a man and cut her hair short, people who didn't know would really think she was a young boy, but she couldn't hide her identity in front of Nevit. Moreover, what is the intention of this dress, is it just for convenience?

To be honest, Aisha is very nervous right now.

It's not that you're stiff because of wearing men's clothes, but it's just that you really won't be seen through it?

What Grienel had told her was still hard to admit, and if that was the case, wouldn't she not be an unforgivable sinner?

Moreover, will it really not be exposed, the herald who stayed in Newtown was deliberately dressed up as her.

What the hell was going on with these letters, Aisha felt overwhelmed.

As far as Aisha knows, it will take at least a little more than a month to travel from Newtown to Zanka.

******

After five days in the temple branch, Samuel was finally able to get out of bed, walk normally, go outside the room, and walk around the street, no longer facing the unchanged view of the room.

For the first three days, every day a priest came to Samuel's feet to perform healing spells, and for the next two days, he was replaced by a knight whose name he didn't know, and the knight came in with a barrel with a strong smell of medicine, and asked Samuel to soak his feet twice a day for more than an hour each time, and was forbidden to leave the room until he could walk.

Samuel endured the smell of medicine for two days and two nights, and when his feet were finally able to get off the ground, he was freed, and he got out of the room where the smell of medicine still remained, and he really couldn't stand it any longer. I smell that smell every day when I eat and sleep, and I can't get rid of it for a long time.

Wandering around the streets, he gradually walked towards the less crowded places, and finally, he came to the alley where he had been.

“……”

Standing for a while, recalling the events of that day, every detail was remembered in my mind. The place where Vivian fell, the place where he fell, and every word that Popin said is still infuriating and unforgettable.

Samuel stayed for a while, also trying to calm his mind completely in this matter, so he chose to come here again and revisit. After that, he had a clear idea in his mind.

So, Samuel returned to the branch, greeted the people of the temple without expression, and went to the room where Vivien was.

"Why do you still sleep so soundly? ”

He glanced at Vivian, his clean face, his breathing gently, as if nothing had happened, and he slept soundly. It's kind of strange that this guy is so quiet now.

"Honestly, you're really doing it yourself. ”

"If your people know, they won't forgive me so easily. ”

"I don't know how long you're going to sleep. ”

Samuel sighed slightly.

"I'm not going to wait like this......"

"Let me tell you one more thing, our money has been recovered, and I heard that it was a robbery group composed of several thugs. ”

"I accepted the payment in advance. ”

“…… Bye. ”

Samuel took one more look, said goodbye, and left, went back to his room to pack his belongings and left.

The chief knight named Cyrus had told him that he would send someone to find Popin, but for Samuel, he couldn't wait in vain, he had to do something, even if it looked like he would get a wasted result, that didn't matter.

Something has to be done no matter what, even if there are no clues, no direction and no goal.

After all, this place is next to Jiainlut, and there is a temple in Karanslan, which means that Puyin must have run to Jiainlut. On this continent, only Garinrut and Remirabel are the best hideouts for the shadow mages.

No matter how big the two countries combined, they must be caught.

This time, Samuel's destination has not changed, but the purpose of his trip has changed, and his companions have also changed, and he is the only one.

******

The invisible wind lifted the curtains on the balcony as if to signal something trying to break in, and at the same time ruffled the hair of the girl sitting at the desk.

She looked up and looked out onto the balcony, where she faintly heard the sound of wings spreading, and soon a small white bird flew into the house. When he saw the bird, he stopped holding the pen and writing, and a smile of joy appeared on his face.

Stroking the bird, Christie removed the note from its feet, opened it, and smiled even more joyfully.

"You are a lucky messenger to bring me such good news. ”

"Your Majesty. ”

The door opened, and he came in without knocking, and there was only one person in the entire kingdom who dared to do so, and that was Christine's brother, Christoph Ignaz.

"Ahem!"

"What's wrong?"

"Where has Freina gone, you, as the Empress, can't be lax about your appearance, even once in a while, you are absolutely not allowed, fortunately I came in, what if I bring a guest in?"

"I don't want to hear such rigid rhetoric early on, it's just that I don't have a hairstyle. ”

Christopher frowned at noticing the white bird, as well as the completely open balcony.

"It's better to be locked up, it's very windy today, and I'll call Frina's people in a moment. ”

Christopher walked over and closed the window and walked back, "This is today's document, hurry up and sign it when it's confirmed." ”

"Come and supervise my work again......"

"It's my job, and if you're not paying attention, you'll run to the middle of nowhere. ”

Christopher simply didn't need to be honorific, "No matter how busy you are, be patient, the Six Nations Conference will start soon, I know all the things you did before, even if the Quartet Temple is the position of the overseer in this, people from other countries can't find a handle, and I have worked hard to deal with the aftermath for you." ”

Because the kingdom of Qiandu has always been ruled by the queen, even Christopher, who was born before Christie, is not qualified to become an emperor, but only serves as an assistant to help Christie.

"I'm not even twenty years old, and I have this responsibility on my shoulder, if you don't always persuade me, otherwise I would definitely abolish the old queenship and return this position to you without caring about anything. Christie let out a big sigh, "It's not really the life I want to live, how I miss the old days, always running around behind you and the bridge." After I became queen, all this changed, and you all became my courtiers. ”

"You are not in a position to say such things now. ”

"I know, even I want to complain once in a while. And in front of the minister, you must always be careful not to show your inner thoughts, pretend to be unfathomable, and pretend that you have really become like this after a long time. ”

Christie handed him the small note just now, "That's good news, but I still need a few more people, and after thinking about it for a while, I feel that the Water Sword is still a little reluctant to rely on Xiao Tie alone." Once we have the Sword of Water, the other two Excaliburs will be much easier, and it will be even better if we find all the Excaliburs and perform the ceremony before the Six Nations Conference begins, and the Temple of the Four Directions will not say anything to us. ”

"I'm going to correct you, it's not going to be that simple. ”

Half a month after Lance and the others left, Danica received the news from the palace, discussed it with the people of the mountain city, and took Paz and Vance to the royal city of Serbro. Among the members of the same group, only Dawn was missing, which was also a matter of no choice, first, Dawn was too old, and second, someone had to keep an eye on the mountain city, so the old butler was left.

Dawn protested several times, but even his old friend Vance didn't help him, so he stayed as everyone expected. After all, Daun is different from Vance, and his physical strength, swordsmanship, and knowledge of medicinal herbs are not as good as Vance.

"I've got some emergency herbs ready for the hut, colds, coughs, injuries, and so on, all of them, and if the residents need them, you can divide them. ”

Daun and Vance have worked together for so many years, and they often come into contact with nature and understand a little, so I promised him to rest assured.

As Dawn watched them leave, Dawn regretted for the first time that he had not learned swordsmanship from his master, but had learned the arithmetic, etiquette, geography, literature, and so on that which were of little use at such a juncture.

"Aristocratic etiquette, arithmetic, if I had learned more than that, I would probably be able to go to Serbro with Miss Danica by now. ”

"Don't look, Daun, they're gone. ”

The resident waved his hand in front of Dawn, bringing him back to reality.

"How can it not be worried, Miss Danica will not be by her side to take care of her, even if Paz is flexible in his mouth, he will not be able to meet nobles, and Vance will take care of Miss Danica's daily life and diet? It's really worrying, Vance will definitely force Miss Danica to eat those vegetables that he thinks are healthy! Danica is still in the stage of growing taller, and she can't just eat vegetables. ”

"Besides, it will take them a lot of time to get to Serbro, and they will come back again and again, and I don't know what it will be, and how long they will be going. I don't know if two months is enough!"

Old Daun chattered endlessly, which probably made the faithful old butler's words somewhat restrained, which was not an easy task.

This trip to Burcello took twice as long as before, because on the way, Paz would take Danica for two more days in each town he visited, to buy something in this village, a little more in that town, a little more in this commercially developed city, and a little more in a town rich in crops.

"Don't show that look, Danica, we only pay a deposit for all the things we buy on the way, and then give the rest on our way back. ”

"We spent a thousand gold coins, which is already seriously out of my budget, and the money is well spent...... But how long will it take for the city of Lidingpa to earn back the thousand gold coins......"

The things I bought along the way were seeds of crops and fruits that had never been planted before, things to keep plants from getting wet in the event of heavy rain, magic lamps and magic crystals that were used to replace sunlight in the indoors, effective insect killers, ten well-breeded hens, and four cows, all of which cost a thousand gold coins.

"The chickens are fine, the question is how to bring the cows back......"

Of course, this is also a problem, and it will only be considered on the way back.

"The remaining 100 gold coins really have to save some money......"

Danica's expression was a little pitiful, and she was slapped hard by Path, "Don't show this expression, it's a big harvest!"

“……”

In this way, it took them twice as long to get to Serbro.

"Let's go to the previous hotel and ask if there are any rooms, and if not, we'll go somewhere else. ”

Touching the gold coins in her pocket, Danica was a little painful, after all, this is a royal city, and the price is more expensive than the previous town.

It took some time to get to the hotel, and then the group headed to the palace.

Every time the nobles who came to the meeting were regular visitors to the palace, even low-ranking nobles like Danica, and the soldiers guarding the palace gate quickly let them enter the palace.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Don't talk too much, don't blame me for not reminding you, don't say anything superfluous. ”

Danica is just an inferior nobleman, or the kind that is excluded on the surface, and she can't say whatever she wants when she sees other nobles.

"It's not the first time I've been with you, of course I know this kind of thing. ”

"Vance, keep an eye on him. ”

Giving him a blank look, Danica instructed Vance.

"I promise this guy won't talk nonsense. ”

Vance glanced at him, and Paz immediately shut up obediently, he was not afraid of Danica, but he was afraid of Vance.
