Chapter 6: Out of the City
Contrary to Phil's imagination, the entry and exit permits for carriages and horses were given very smoothly, and when Phil gave Seth a cage of promised game, the other party threw it to him like an ordinary blank piece of paper. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Of course, this is much more precious than white paper, and it is also rarer than white paper.
I've been busy for so long, and it's finally here.
However, it does not mean that if you get the entry and exit permit of the carriage and horse, you can get out of the city of Lofis and leave the Kingdom of Austin, and you have to wait for others to recruit him before that.
So, in addition to going into the mountains and forests every three days to hunt and improve the strength of Jax and others, Phil would almost always wait at the chariot and horse management office. This can be a long time, because caravans that can do cross-border business are generally well-funded, do not need to rent carriages, or have grooms they trust, and Phil is unlikely to be accepted so smoothly as a newcomer.
Phil is not discouraged either, his patience is adequate. After a year of practice, the disguise can already allow him to stand next to the Xuanjia Rider and will not be recognized.
When giving prey to Jax and Seth, Phil occasionally inquired about the city. The biggest thing recently is, of course, the fact that the sixteenth prince lives in the city of Lofes, and he goes around the city gate every day, and usually likes to go to the suburbs or the countryside to play, which is talked about by the residents of Lofes City. After that, there is Jakes's private affair, and after the first wedding ended in failure, he soon begins to search for a second bride through his brother-in-law.
The third thing is a little strange, a family in the city lost their daughter, and before everyone could be sad and sad, the Atlantan Empire had already sent a team of light riders to take their family to the imperial capital, and it didn't take long to hear that the head of the family had been knighted, and a fief was given. When he said this, Jakes's expression was a little pity and joy, and then he accidentally leaked the words "bride" and "wizard". But he soon denied it.
Phil understood who Jakes was talking about. But I still feel very strange, that black-robed man is the legendary wizard? Isn't that just a rumor or a character from a knightly novel? How much energy does a wizard have, and a little blessing leaking from the bottom of his hand can make an ordinary family ascend to the sky in one step? More often than not, Phil recalls the name "Lolita" and "Teardrops on the Moonlight River" that night.
In the evening, Phil began to sort out the things that had happened after the crossing. No matter how important the ordinary people on the earth before the crossing were, it was impossible to leave a trace in this world. The world was far harsher than he imagined, and the bloody images he saw at first sight after crossing over were still vivid. What's more, that fire broke out the night after that.
In order to better survive in this world, Phil's memories of the past are very important. The first is the perception of the world, which needs not be said. The other is the Underwood family, as a legacy of hundreds of years, and left behind, Phil has survived in the past year because of these backhands, but since Eric's incident, Phil has not started again. It's a matter of life and death, it's better to let him hold it in his hands.
And in addition to the increasingly superb disguise, there is only the knightly training that Phil did when he was a child, although he knew that he had no knightly talent, but he desperately did it to make his father happy.
In addition to basic swordsmanship training, Phil also learned the foundation of the family, the knight's martial art three-stage stab. The full name is the Aalto Three-Rank Thorn, which is a martial art that can be used in the official knighthood stage, and although he has no knightly talent, he was taught to Phil as the eldest son.
In the night, everything is silent. Phil took out the hidden cross sword from the bottom of the carriage, went to the backyard, and then began basic swordsmanship training in a proper manner.
"Drop! Please note that after 27 times of the host's sword training maneuvers, the shoulder will be damaged, and 87 will have irreparable effects thereafter. ”
The reminder of the cactus ball made Phil frown, such a reminder had also appeared in previous exercises, which showed that Phil's swordsmanship movements were actually not standardized, which was also the reason why a knight instructor was needed, but Phil could not have such conditions at all now. If it weren't for this kind of swordsmanship training, which would have helped Phil to familiarize himself with his combat power, and indeed improved his strength a little, Phil would not have taken the risk of injury training.
After a few more basic swordsmanship trainings, Phil was already drenched in sweat.
At this point he stopped, took two sips of water, and began to recall the three stages of Aalto's stab. This is a knight martial art that the patriarch of the Underwood family must learn, even if it is not a knight who cannot use it, as a patriarch, it must be passed on to future generations, so the memory of this Phil is very clear.
At a moment when the muscles of the whole body were very tired, Phil moved!
It was like a cheetah that had been in ambush for a long time, and it pounced on it with great agility, and the afterimage could be seen so fast that it moved. And the cross sword in Phil's hand was also launched at the same moment, and the sword body was completely invisible, as if it had disappeared out of thin air in this world, and only heard a "beep", Phil returned to his original position, and became tired again.
However, Phil did consume almost all the strength of his body, and reluctantly walked to the wooden stake in front of him, and three sword marks one inch deep were lined up in a straight line from top to bottom. The "beep" just now was actually a mixture of three sounds.
Phil was satisfied with the effect, took a shower and went to bed, and continued to wait at the carriage and horse management office in the city tomorrow.
He didn't have to wait long, and a few days later, Phil, who had been waiting at the carriage and horse management office, was finally informed that a caravan of cross-border business had picked up his carriage.
However, when Phil arrived at the gathering place, he found that the other party was actually the caravan he had when he was a horseman for the first time.
Of course, the other party didn't remember Phil at all, after all, after such a long time, there were so many grooms who had followed them, and they wouldn't have thought that there would be grooms who would get entry and exit permits for carriages and horses in just two months.
Sure enough, the rough guy who recruited people last time didn't react at all when he heard Phil introduce himself.
The only thing that made Phil a little strange was that their caravan seemed to only be doing business within the kingdom before, and at some point they started cross-border business between empires.
"We're all here, guys," said the rough man named Howard, clapping his hands, "and now start loading, but be careful, these are precious things that you can't afford to lose." ”
Having said this, after a while Howard was gone, to the front of the caravan, and talking to the owner of the caravan, leaving only a few servants to help load the goods, not even an overseer.
Phil's identity does not allow him to be careless, and Howard's anomaly quickly catches his attention.
An hour later, the convoy departed, passed through the city gates to inspect the goods, and drove out of the city of Lofes.
There are still a lot of caravans that can enter and exit, and there is a lot of traffic along the way.
Then, without anyone else noticing, a carriage from a side convoy quietly blended into Phil's caravan, right in the middle of the caravan, in the middle of several carriages belonging to the owner of the caravan.
If Phil hadn't been keeping an eye on the movement, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.
After all, this caravan employs too many idle horsemen, and everyone is not familiar with each other, let alone find a carriage with similar structure and appearance, they don't even know the number of carriages in the caravan!
Phil's carriage was at the back of the caravan, and he was a little worried.
The phrase "smuggled goods" immediately came to Phil's mind, he knew that this kind of thing often happened in cross-border business, but he didn't expect to run into it for the first time.
"Hopefully there won't be any extra trouble." Phil thought that once the smuggled goods were discovered, the entourage would inevitably be inspected, and it was good to say that in the city of Lopez, there were Jakes and Seth coverings, and the people who checked their identities were their own people, so Phil would be fine if he encountered it.
However, checking your identity on the borders of the Empire is not so sloppy.
Not long after, a city wall was seen in the distance, and a queue of carriages was lining up to be inspected under the wall.
Phil's caravan was at the end of the queue in a proper manner.
Phil looked at the leader of the team, and sure enough, he was much stricter, in addition to inspecting the goods, every groom had to show the entry and exit permits of the carriages and horses.
The line slowly became shorter, and soon it was Phil's turn to caravan.
Phil saw the caravan master get out of the carriage and walk with Howard to the inspector and talk happily.
Phil knew that he was prepared.
Wherever there are officials, there are bribes. Previously, Phil had survived through the backhands of those Underwood family members who had also used bribes many times.
However, this kind of bribery is a stupid novice mode that cannot be passed with one hand and one hand, and this novice mode is only applicable to the doormen of the general city gate. In order to prevent criticism and leave evidence, this kind of smuggling must have been arranged a long time ago.
Although it has been arranged, some basic check-ups are still required.
"Permission." A GI came up to Phil.
Phil hurriedly took out the entry and exit permits for the carriage and horses, and the GI didn't even take it, and left after a hurried look.
In this way, the convoy easily walked out of the border of the Atlantic Empire.
The caravan immediately entered a relaxed atmosphere.
Along the way, there are still familiar mountains and forests. After walking for a while, you can enter the territory of the Aldo Empire, and the middle piece can be regarded as a buffer borderless belt.
Visible to the naked eye, the speed of the caravan began to pick up. Later, the caravan's own carriage in front of it was even faster.
The caravan was immediately divided into two parts.
The rest of the grooms like Phil were a little blindsided, and they didn't say a word, and just left, didn't they want the "precious things" they said on the carriage?
Phil immediately understood that it must be that the other party did not arrange any move, this was because he was afraid that the people of the Atlantan Empire would catch up.
But it's also a little strange since then, won't they do business in the Atlantan Empire in the future? Or is the gain of this order enough to give them peace of mind?
I didn't have time to think about it, but the others were okay to say that Phil had to follow.
As soon as the whip was raised, the carriage ran forward with a puff of dust.
At this moment, a thick layer of dust suddenly rose in the direction of the Atlantan Empire behind.
That's a squad of cavalry!
