Chapter 4 The Rotating Shaft (Part 2)
The next morning, there was a light rain, but it was almost noon, and the rain cleared. The www.biquge.info is a clearer and clearer sky, and occasionally a flock of birds will fly by, which is a good weather for travel.
"Then you two take care of the house!" Lan who had changed into his regular clothes sat in a gesture of waving goodbye under the resentful gaze of the two disciples.
After Alex got the fake note from the headquarters yesterday, he had plans to travel, although he didn't know whether the content of the note was true or false, but what really prompted him to make this decision was because of the information that Ronnie heard.
The first piece of information was that the territory of Messers (Rozval's territorial noun) was suddenly put on alert, perhaps because of the strange white fog on the Livons Boulevard, which disturbed the travel of many caravans.
The second piece of information is that Rozval is suspected to have appeared once in the southern part of the kingdom, and the place of departure is quite exaggerated according to his territory of Merthers.
"Rest assured. Alex has shown to be consistently reliable, and compared to him, Ronnie, who keeps yelling, is a real headache.
"Teacher, are you really not taking me with you?"
Ignoring the other party's resentful eyes, Lan threw out a bait, "Stay at home honestly, and I'll teach you something great when I come back." ”
"Really?" Ronnie's eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again, "Haha, don't worry, teacher, the family will be handed over to us, you can go out and play with peace of mind." ”
"Well, you look at the dots. In the latter sentence, Lan looked at Alex and said, which shows the proportion of the two disciples in his heart.
Because there were many more visitors in the house, Ronnie decided to take advantage of the teacher's time to move in for a few days. This was something that was discussed at the wine last night, and Lan himself had no intention of objecting.
Rather speechless, he ignored Ronnie, and the red lotus sitting on Lan's shoulder urged his partner to hurry up and get on the road.
After bidding farewell to the two disciples, the two went all the way to the trade chamber in the north of the city, which will provide some piggyback services for travelers, such as following the caravan to the destination they want to reach, which is an essential way to travel for Arashi who has no sense of direction.
"What, you're going to Merthers Territory?" the receptionist said with some distress, "Because of the white mist, the Liphons Avenue that originally led directly from the royal capital to the Merthers territory has been blocked, and if you want to go, you can only follow the caravan to take a long detour." ”
"Okay, no problem. Having learned about the situation through Ronnie, Lan answered cleanly: "How much does it cost to take a ride?"
"For you, it's free!" the receptionist said with a smile, "After all, no matter how much money you spend, you can't get a companion like you, Knight Commander Lan, which is a stronger guarantee than a mercenary group." ”
As if noticing Lan's surprise at recognizing him, the receptionist explained: "As the chamber of commerce of the royal capital, every month there will be some dignitaries who need attention, your portrait, I have been looking at it for a month, Knight Commander Lan." ”
"It doesn't sound like a pleasant thing. Arashi kneaded her chin.
"Hahaha, I'm sorry, I'll arrange the fastest caravan for you, no problem, right?" the receptionist paused and complimented, "Please wait, let me go and see if the caravan has the privilege of being with the Knight Captain of the Guard." ”
"Trouble. Arashi nodded, and instead looked at the furnishings in the hall to pass the time.
"Looks like your identity is pretty good. Red Lotus wagged her tail twice, half-jokingly.
"The hands of the people are short, and the mouths of the people are short. "Arashi is telling the truth.
Regarding Lan's boring gossip, Honglian said that there was no need to pay attention to it at all. Anyway, if you eat it all, you can still spit it out? According to your character, it's good not to pat your ass and leave.
The receptionists came and went quickly, and he was accompanied by a middle-aged man with a somewhat tall and thin build, who looked old and called himself Renault.
Luckily, they just happened to be able to set off right away, which saved Arashi a lot of time. Because the avenue was blocked, the caravan had to travel two days longer than the half-day of direct travel.
As night approached, they arrived at the post town of Frul, and by tomorrow they would be able to reach the territory of Messers by passing through the town of Hamress in front of them.
Although he made a big circle, Lan had nothing to do about it, so he could only silently step out of the exclusive carriage specially arranged for him by the caravan and enter the hotel where he stayed to rest.
In the early morning of the next day, Lan who had risen early followed the assembled caravan to embark on the journey again, and a small incident happened at Karsten's house, far away in the royal capital.
Rem, who had been a little restless since before going to bed last night, stopped Caizuki Pleiades who was about to go downstairs to practice swords in the morning.
"What's wrong? For Rem, who is willing to stay by his side, Caiyue has a considerable degree of affection, and the tone of his voice is also extraordinarily kind.
"There's probably something in trouble over there. Rem said something that shocked Natsuki.
"What do you mean?!Rem, how do you know? Pulling the other party to his room, Cai Yue, who closed the door, sat on the sofa and asked with a calm face.
Rem felt her sister's anger. Rehm, who didn't know where to start, said words that people couldn't understand, and then explained: "Rem and her sister can share each other's emotions, which is equivalent to the level of empathy. I don't know exactly what happened, but I can feel it. ”
"The strong anger in my sister's emotions, and the uneasiness ......"
Could it be that Emilia has encountered something in trouble? Nanatsuki, who was frowning, decided to wait until Kurxiu came back and inquire about the other party's information.
In the morning, because of the recruitment of the Sage Society, he rushed to Kurxiu in the royal city, and did not return until noon. Natsuki, who couldn't wait, directly invited her to the reception room and explained Rem's worries to the other party.
"If you want to talk about intelligence. Kursius put his right hand to his lips, "The territory of Merthers, the territory of the Earl of Rozval's border, seems to be making troublesome movements around his mansion, and a part of the territory is also on alert under the Count's orders. ”
"Troublesome action, why is this happening again!" Natsuki said a little incomprehensibly.
"The exact reason for this is unknown, but it is said that it was because the Count of Rozval had chosen Emilia as a candidate for the king...... "Cur Shu's words stopped, between his lips.
"Amilia!" Nanatsuki looked up in disbelief.
"Of course, as long as the notoriety of the Jealous Witch continues, a battle against the prejudice called the Half-Elf is inevitable. Kurxiu's narration made Caiyue extremely angry.
"Damn!" Natsuki, who suddenly got up from the sofa, said to the blue-haired maid beside her, "Rem, let's go back to the mansion." ”
"Good. "It's the first time Rem is so happy with the decision made by Natsuki, although Count Rozvahl ordered her to follow Caizuki all the time, but is there anything more important in this world than the safety of her sister?
"Give it up, Natsuki Pleiades. To the agitated boy, Kursius closed his eyes and said, "If you go out of here, you will become an enemy to me, and it is entirely because of the contract with Emilia that Phyllis has made a pact, you don't think that I am a person who can treat enemies well." ”
"Besides, with your strength, even if you go, it's useless, if it's something that those few people can't solve, who are you going to rely on when you have no power? ”
