The three carriages of Yeyue and his party were still moving south unhurriedly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

She was still sitting in the first carriage, and the black flames around her were rising, and the light was extinguishing.

Only this time, there was one more figure guarding her side, in addition to the recently inseparable little orc Mo.

It's the ghost leader Lilou.

This gray-shrouded ghost leader was kneeling in front of his queen at this time, and it seemed that he was also meditating and cultivating.

Because Night Moon carried the artifact of the School of the Undead, the "Scepter of Night and Shadow", the carriage was filled with pure black magic energy that made this ghost feel comfortable, and one day of cultivation here was comparable to three days of meditation outside.

Originally, as the object of the soul contract, summons such as Lilou could become stronger if the owner gave them magic power.

However, although the soul power of the Night Moon was strong, it was only reflected in the number of contracted summons. (The stronger the soul power, the more summons she can sign) and because she has too many contract partners, the magic power is not enough at all. She signed a master-servant contract, and she was not obligated to share her magic with her subordinates.

Later, she was suppressed by the Holy See's artifact "Shenwei", and even absorbed the magic power of her own summons at one point, so her unlucky subordinates could only find ways to become stronger on their own.

Fortunately, most of them are ownerless undead, and they are used to this.

That's what happened to Lilou.

She and her ghost henchmen have plenty of opportunities to follow Nightmoon as close guards, scouts, and heralds. As the leader of the ghosts, Lilou often receives orders directly from Night Moon.

So she has a lot of opportunities to talk to Yeyue, and occasionally gets a few words of guidance from Yeyue. From time to time, there will be opportunities to share the power of the artifact like now, so her strength is also steadily improving, and she seems to be content.

Lilou's High Ghost Men did not have the privilege of their own leader to lay down all their meditative prerogatives, and now they either hid in the shadows of the three carriages or wandered around the perimeter in hiding, dutifully serving the duties of guards.

A long time passed, and Lilu suddenly felt that the fluctuations of the artifact were no longer active, and she immediately withdrew from meditation, and let out her spiritual senses to lock on her mistress and prepare to accept the task.

The black flames around Yeyue had indeed dispersed, and she had woken up.

This time she looked relaxed and beckoned to the ghost leader.

"Queen, are there any instructions?"

"I just went to 'Paradise'. Accurate news was received that war was coming. Inform the Dark Wizards and tell them to hurry. ”

Yeyue replied with a smile.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The convoy lives slowly and slowly every day, and the young mercenary Kevin feels more and more bored these days.

Every day, except for the sword practice in the morning, he had to stay in the last car all day, and even ate three meals in the car many times.

Since he didn't ride in the same carriage, the young swordsman didn't even see the regimental commander who liked to be in a daze more and more, and he always felt empty in his heart.

Because he has not been chased as he imagined, Kevin also became bold, and began to sit in the driver's position from time to time to help others drive.

The rider was a middle-aged man with an ordinary-looking face, and he didn't stop Kevin's recklessness, handing him a half-worn windproof cloak.

You can usually keep warm, and you can put down your hood to cover your face in case of trouble.

The boy gladly accepted.

Although he didn't think he could really encounter anything.

But things soon happened inadvertently.

Just a few days into his driving career, Kevin was blocked by soldiers.

This is the first time since the start of the trip.

Nearly a hundred cavalrymen stood in the way.

In the distance, they could be seen wearing standard imperial uniforms, holding military flags with forked tails.

The flags are embroidered with a silver eagle and a black bear, which are the national emblem and the corps emblem.

Kevin's heart immediately rose to his throat.

He heard the uncle who drove the car say that there are no tax cards and military checkpoints in this vicinity, so naturally there will be no guarded soldiers.

How do these cavalrymen look at how they came specifically for them.

Seeing that the uncle who drove the car did not respond, he couldn't sit still at first.

Pulling on his hood and hiding his old sword in his cloak, the boy quickly jumped out of the carriage in which he was riding and ran towards the first car.

Uncle Yu Guangzhong seemed to pull him and said something.

But Kevin didn't know that this harmless-looking ordinary car driver was a spy of the Shadow Society. He didn't even know what a movie would be.

So first, he was afraid that the other party would pull his hind legs, and secondly, he was afraid that he would affect the other party, but the young man didn't pay attention to it, but ran faster and faster.

The convoy didn't go fast, Kevin didn't go far to catch up with the first car, he jumped up, opened the door without being transmitted, and said urgently: "Mr. Wende, no, we have been discovered." ”

The little girl in the car didn't seem to have grasped the situation, and was inexplicably angry at his interruption, she glared at the boy fiercely, flashed her teeth at him, and let out a menacing low roar in her throat.

He didn't bother to appease the beastly little girl, but just stared at the handsome priest and asked, "What should we do?" ”

――――――――――――――――――

The night moon in the car naturally felt Kevin's approach, and she recited a few spells to become "Divine Officer Wende", and Lilu also disappeared into the darkness.

Only Mo was disappointed that he couldn't see the true face of Yeyue, and took his anger out on the daredevils who opened the car door.

"Don't worry, wait until I negotiate with them, right?"

"Priest Wende" smiled softly.

Looking at this handsome priest who had no heart and lungs and obviously didn't know the gravity of the situation, Kevin felt deflated.

But his nervousness lightened a lot because of this: "Okay Mr. Wende, although my sword is not fully practiced, I will try my best to protect you." ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Said.

Blake Burton, the chief legate and lobbyist of the Holy See, has been feeling that something is wrong these days.

Originally, Her Royal Highness the princess met with them overnight and held a tea party to catch the wind and wash the dust, which gave him enough face.

In the days that followed, the princess's retinue and advisers consulted with them, the papal envoys, almost every day, about the details of the peace talks.

But after a few days, the density of the meeting dropped, and it couldn't be held for two or three days, or even five or six days, and Blake even had the feeling that his group had been hung out.

The agents placed in the city by the Holy See have also disappeared, but the movement of troops and supplies seems to be frequent.

Something must have happened.

We must not return in vain.

So the Bolton priest prepared to carry out his backup plan - he was going to pay a visit to Ralz, the lord of Said. Bayro.

I heard that although this city lord has been an official for generations, he has stayed in one of the world's top commercial cities for a long time, and he is more like a merchant than a nobleman.

Said's was a city that never sleeps, but under the princess's military control and curfew, he didn't know how much gold dragon coins this Lord Bailuo would earn less in a day.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, and the city lord of this philistine doesn't know how much he will hate the princess. In addition, I heard that the bulk of the material supply of the princess's army also fell on the head of this city lord, how much is this?

Besides, merchant, what can't be sold?
