Half an hour later, the carriage entered the city smoothly.

After a brief break, Freya moved forward again......

Four days later.

In the midst of the dense trees, a straight road stretched in front of a large brown iron gate.

The iron door was open, and on either side of the door stood a number of guards in black leather armor and spears, but they all looked loose, and only symbolically checked the passing vehicles before letting them go.

Among the many carriages, a normal black carriage slowly moved forward.

On the carriage was a handsome blonde woman in a long brown dress, looking up slightly around.

Next to the road in front of her stood a large black iron sculpture with a few letters written in Hertic.

If translated in lingua franca, it would be: Raymond.

After a brief look at her surroundings, Freya withdrew her gaze.

Although it is only twenty days away, the location of Raymond City is completely out of the Diss Mountains.

This city, as stated in the sources, is just an ordinary city, without any wizard-related aura or smell of iron and blood.

Compared to the former city of Katia, in addition to being more barren in resources. It's no different.

However, due to the extreme barrenness, there are hardly any wizarding organizations that choose to settle here.

It is estimated that there is no way out. Or maybe a wizard who is dying of old age wants to live out his old age before coming here.

The black carriage slowly drove into the city gate, and the guards on both sides just glanced at Freya, asked a few words, and then let them go directly like the other carriages.

As soon as the carriage entered the city, there were more forks in the road and more pedestrians.

Street trees are planted on both sides of the road, and sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves on the ground, forming small and small circular light spots.

Rows of small brown spired buildings towered in the distance.

Freya drove the carriage down a wide road, observing her surroundings with a calm gaze.

The city seems to have no supernatural powers. The way people live and everything else is very different from the places she has experienced.

Along the way, she's seen two entertaining performances. And the people around are also very energetic, and it is estimated that the managers of this city are the type who pay great attention to people's livelihood.

Not far away, a crowd of people is surrounding a tall platform on which a young man in an ornate robe holds a statue of an old man carved out of white wood. He said something with a reverent expression.

As he passed, Ephria's ears could hear what he was saying.

"Why we can eat enough, why we can live here in peace and stability, this qiē is all Acherdan. Holy blessing, He is everywhere, no matter how noble or lowly he is guarded, as long as we support Him"

It seems to be a speech promoting a certain faith. She thought faintly.

After listening for a while, she passed by.

She didn't believe in gods even once. Not to mention now.

After crossing two streets, Freya's carriage slowly stopped in front of a small building with the word "hotel" on it.

The style of the hotel is very ordinary, and there are no parked vehicles next to it.

After Freya got out of the carriage. Straight inside.

Pushing open the door, I was greeted by a counter with bald hair and a thin man dozing off.

After scanning her surroundings, she walked over to the counter and tapped lightly, waking the man up.

"Uh, hello guest, are you here to stay?" Wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth. The man immediately flattered.

"Accommodation." Freya said lightly.

"How many days do you need to stay?" The man took out a black notebook and a quill from under the counter. Then he asked.

After thinking about it, Freya decided.

"Let's stay for twenty days."

"Twenty days?" The man looked up at Freya curiously, and calculated carefully. "Twenty days, it's three gold coins."

Without speaking, Freya nodded, took out three gold coins from her waist bag and handed them to the counter.

When the man originally wanted to put away the gold coin, he frowned slightly when he saw the appearance of the gold coin.

"Guest, don't you have sultes?"

"How?" Hearing the man's words, Freya raised her eyebrows and glanced at the gold coins on the counter. "Can't you use this gold coin here?"

Sutcoin is another name for the country's gold coins, and Freya handed him the gold coins that the baron once gave to Freya.

There is no difference between the two in terms of volume, but in terms of pattern, one is an old man's head, and the other is a sword and shield.

"Yes." The man pushed the gold coin back in embarrassment. "You may not know that Raymond City is very strict about currency, even if it is also gold, if you don't have sutes"

Before he could finish speaking, Freya interrupted directly with a slight frown.

"Then do you know where you can redeem huàn?"

"It's at the tax office in the city, but the procedures may be a bit more cumbersome." The man replied cautiously.

Listening to the innkeeper's explanation, Freya also vaguely guessed that this procedure for exchanging huàn currency might be a trick by officials in Raymond City to collect money in disguise.

However, this is also a little negligent on her part.

After a moment's silence, Freya knocked on the table and pushed the gold coin back to the opposite side.

"Then you sue me, is there a place where you can redeem huàn without going through the process."

"This" looked at the three gold coins pushed over from the opposite side, and the man's eyes lit up slightly. After thinking about it, he whispered carefully. "There is no place to exchange huàn directly, but. I can rent you another house, but how about you paying an extra gold coin like this? After all, I'm not alone in this hostel. ”

"No problem." Freya nodded knowingly, and directly took out another gold coin of the same kind and handed it over.

Although the patterns of the two gold coins are different, they are both of the same nature after all, even if they are strictly managed. There will also be loopholes to exploit.

Quickly putting the four gold coins away, the man glanced outside the hotel. Go straight around the counter road.

"Come with me, that house is not far from here I used to buy for my daughter, but it was shelved for some reason, but I guarantee that the environment is not worse than here."

"Oh? Really? Freya replied casually.

Ten minutes later.

Freya led the carriage and the innkeeper to a manor.

He pulled out a slender metal key and slammed the iron door open.

"That's it." Take back the keys. The man said with a slight pride. "It's nice here."

Freya glanced at the manor, which was not very large, and was greeted by a fountain of a pool that had long since dried up.

The surrounding wall is made of red bricks, and there are a few small trees and flowers planted on the side.

In the middle of the estate is a pale yellow two-story house with a large red and black wooden door.

Although it looks a little old, Freya's simple observation can also show the care of the owner when the manor was built.

It was only when Freya's gaze swept over the second window of the house that a cold feeling of being peeping came from there, which made her brow furrow slightly.

After a pause, she turned to the man and asked softly. "Did anyone else live in your house except your daughter?"

"Guest, you're smiling. This is the house I bought for my daughter, the first one you moved into. The man laughed. But don't worry, it's all in there. ”

"Yes," she looked up. Squinted slightly.

With her current level, she would not have an illusion at all, and the cold sense of peeping just now was absolutely real.

And she also thought of something familiar from this gloomy feeling.

'It's still early, so let's try my guesses!' Thinking faintly in her heart, she nodded calmly, reached out and took out another gold coin.

"Okay, I'll stay here for the time being. However, you will take care of all my food and drink during this time. No problem, right? ”

Seeing the gold coin in Freya's hand, the man immediately nodded and took the road.

"No problem, of course no problem, no introduction, I'm Jack Reis. Stephen, just call me Jack. ”

"Hmm." Nodding again, Freya tightened the reins in her hand and said casually. "Okay, I'm a little hungry, Jack, you can go back and prepare some food for me first."

"Alright, I'll go back first." The innkeeper named Jack turned away with a smile.

Of the five gold coins given by Freya, there are four even when converted into sultes.

And the value of four gold coins was the income of two full months of his work, and even ordinary guests were not as generous as Freya came, and in his mind, Freya was probably a young lady who had escaped from the game by a nobleman or a wealthy merchant, otherwise no one would have thought that a woman would carry so much money.

Watching Jack's figure disappear into the streets, Freya glanced around the manor.

At this time, she found that the side of this manor seemed to have been uninhabited for a long time, but compared to the neatness of the manor in front of her, the yards of the manor on both sides were overgrown with tall yellow weeds, and the gate of the house was covered with white cobwebs.

And there doesn't seem to be much passing on the streets of this manor.

Taking a slight breath, Freya looked up at the window on the second floor again, and then calmly pulled the carriage into the manor.

'Click!! ’

A muffled thunder suddenly rang out in the sky, followed by a blazing white bolt of lightning.

The sky was originally clear, but at some point gray rain clouds accumulated.

A heavy sense of dullness seemed to weigh down on the manor.

Ignoring the change in the weather, Freya settled the carriage and walked to the gate with two black suitcases.

The slender key was lightly inserted into the lock hole and twisted firmly.

'Click. ’

After the crack of the lock opening, Freya slowly pushed the wooden door open.

The room was big but also empty.

Apart from the main furniture, there are no special additions.

The crackling of leather boots on the red floor made a noise, and as she surveyed the somewhat empty room, Freya nodded in satisfaction.

Although it is a little empty, it seems to be cleaned a lot from the perspective of the environment.

There is not a trace of dust at all.

Putting the suitcase on the floor and opening the thick curtains, Freya walked over to a high-backed chair under the table.

On the wall by the window hangs an oil painting of a soldier, wearing a black armored military uniform, holding a long sword and riding a war horse, a picture of a fight.

On the other side is a portrait of a woman in a white dress, sitting expressionlessly on a chair next to a floor-to-ceiling window, faintly visible of the grass green.

Freya looked at the portrait of the woman silently, feeling something familiar.

She glanced at the window next to her and saw that the picture in the painting was where she was sitting.

"Hehe, interesting." He tugged at his lips slightly.

'Click! ’

Another muffled thunder mixed with lightning.

White lightning suddenly illuminated the somewhat gloomy room, and also illuminated Freya's face in the chair.

Suddenly, she turned her head and looked out the window.

The rain had already fallen, and outside the half-open iron gate, a thin figure in a black raincoat was running briskly towards it.

After a while, some wolf Jack came to the door of the room with a black box, and the aroma emanated from the box.
