Chapter 189: Conflict
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Trust between people takes a long time to build, and friendship between people may only take a day to form, even if the friendship is not strong, but at least the basic rudiments of trust have been established.
A few days of getting along, a life-saving kindness, a short understanding.
Pandelia doesn't have a deep affection for the strange adventurers of Charlan and Winnie, each with their own secrets, which they don't reveal to each other until they know enough about it.
Therefore, Winnie's doubts were cleverly avoided by Pandelia.
She knew that the pair of men and women in front of her, who seemed to be master and servant, were actually led by that cold man, and the man didn't want to say it, so she naturally wouldn't say it, after all, one more person who knew the secret meant that the risk was one more point.
Winnie was a clever and inquisitive woman, and she didn't ask any more questions when she noticed Pandelia's diversion and avoided the topic, perhaps time would give her an answer.
On the way to the towns near the Lelasso Mountains, Charan and his party are quite silent, and occasionally, they will encounter travelers, adventurers, mercenaries, caravans, and even refugees of various identities.
Among these refugees were people from the Kingdom of Adria, as well as people from the Duchy of Western Sinia, and perhaps everyone thought that their homeland was like a difficult place to endure, but who knew that the people on the other side had the same idea, like a besieged city, some wanted to get out, some wanted to come in.
More than ten years of war have made the whole Principality of Sisinia desolate and desolate, and the farmers harvesting golden ears of wheat in the fields can hardly see the joy of the harvest on their faces.
One of the most striking sights in the villages passing through is the church of the Glorious Chapel, with its towering and solemn minarets, and the sun shining on the stained glass windows reflects the people who are praying sincerely, presenting a scene of sacred tranquility.
"Why do we see churches in every village we pass by?"
After silently passing by the first few villages, Winnie looked back at the silver cross at the top of the church and sighed.
"Social turmoil and long-term wars have given people endless disasters, and faith has become their hope and sustenance! Ten years ago, churches in the Duchy of Western Sinia were not particularly thriving, but ten years later, churches in the Church of Radiance were spread throughout almost all of Western Sinia. ”
Pandelia, who rode slowly on horseback, lowered her voice to explain Winnie's doubts.
"What an abominable Glorious Sanctuary!"
When Winnie heard this, she muttered dissatisfied, as a low-level pharmacist, she had been particularly disgusted with the Radiant Sanctuary, and it was because of their existence that she had caused her financial difficulties.
"You must not say this kind of thing nonsense when you are in Western Sinia, otherwise it will easily cause the anger of the people around you!"
Pandelia, wrapped in a large white cloak, looked left and right at the left and right, and after seeing that there was no one around, she hurriedly admonished.
"Wouldn't it? Could it be that the people here have been brainwashed by the teachings of the Radiant Sanctuary? Winnie frowned.
"You'll get to know the country once you've got to know it thoroughly."
Pandelia hung her head and sighed.
……
Towards evening, Xia Lan and his party finally saw the city walls that shone golden in the afterglow of the setting sun in the distance.
"That's the town of Kanros."
Pandelia suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed to the distance.
"It's finally time to get to town."
Winnie gasped lightly as she half-bent her petite body, her little hands rubbing her aching legs.
"I'm sorry, but we have to hurry up and get into the city now, or the gates of Canlos will close after sunset!" Pandelia said apologetically to Winnie.
"Don't worry, I'm fine! As long as you can take a hot bath after entering the city, a qiē is not a problem. ”
Winnie straightened up and patted her little chest.
"Just ......"
As she spoke, Pandelia looked at Xia Lan in front of her with some concern.
Charan seemed to sense Pandelia's gaze behind him, and he turned around, walked up to Pandelia, and took the reins of the horse without saying a word.
"According to the plan, there is me."
"Is there really no problem?"
When it came to the end, Pandelia couldn't help but feel worried.
"I think you, as a person from the Principality of Sissinia, also know one thing, the relationship between the war and the chaos has affected the identity and status of the pharmacist at the same time, and now the identity of an intermediate pharmacist can be regarded as half of the nobility of the Principality of Sissinia, and the city defense soldiers here will not offend us lightly at all!"
Xia Lan whispered relief.
"So my identity is so scarce and important in this country? Haha......" Winnie on the side heard Xia Lan's words, and the whole person became proud again.
"Maybe you might want to consider staying in this country."
Xia Lan glanced at her and said.
"Ah...... This one...... I still think that an adventurous life is the best for me......"
Winnie's smile froze, and she hurriedly waved her hand in refusal.
"Let's go!"
Xia Lan didn't bother to pay attention to it, and took the reins and began to move forward.
At sunset, there were many people crowded at the gates of Kanlos, and even if there was a slight collision and friction between them, people would try their best to restrain their feelings, because the two rows of soldiers with sharp swords on the side of the gate were really intimidating.
The soldiers guarding the city gate seemed to be holding a piece of paper in their hands, and they would carefully look up and down everyone who entered and left the city before letting them go, as if they were looking for something in particular.
"Does it really matter?"
The wide brim of her cloak obscured most of Pandelia's face, but that didn't prevent her from peering into the city gates.
"Don't speak."
Xia Lan held the long sword and said in a solemn voice.
The number of people blocking the city gate dwindled, and Xia Lan's group began to move forward until the last merchant who had been censored allowed to pass through, and finally came to the front of the city guard.
"Where are you from?"
When Xia Lan and the three came to the city guard, a city guard with a paper in his hand began to look at the person in front of him.
"We are travelers from the Kingdom of Adria."
"Whew-"
After hearing Xia Lan's calm answer, one of the soldiers in the city guard on the side suddenly laughed out loud with disdain!
"A refugee is a refugee! What a traveler, we don't know how many people like you have fled these days! ”
"Bold!"
Who knew that Xia Lan suddenly pulled out his long sword, and pointed the sword at the snickering city guards in front of everyone, but this action suddenly caused the surrounding city guards to face each other, and even the only few people around began to be confused.
Perhaps they were wondering in their hearts, what kind of person was so bold that he dared to make trouble at the city gates?
"The master we serve is a noble apothecary who has traveled here in the Kingdom of Adria! How dare you, a pariah, slander your master, how can the most loyal servant of your master allow your master's dignity to be insulted! I'm going to duel with you! ”
Looking at Xia Lan's righteous and awe-inspiring words of loyal protector, at this time, people realized in the dim light that the figure on horseback shrouded in a large white cloak was actually embroidered with two circles of pale green patterns, and flowers and plants were entwined with cup fire!
Intermediate Pharmacist!
This petite figure on horseback is actually an intermediate pharmacist!
"What's wrong?"
When the scene was deadlocked, a deep and hoarse voice slowly came from far to near, and the soldiers surrounding Xia Lan and his party suddenly moved out of the way.
I saw a tall man in the uniform of the city guard lazily appear in front of him with his rocker arm outstretched.
"Captain!"
The city guard who was in charge of examining Xia Lan and the others seemed to have seen the rescuers, and the wind was blowing under his feet, and he rushed to the other party's ear in the blink of an eye and whispered about the incident!
"Alright, alright! It's all scattered, it's all scattered, what it looks like to get together! I'll take care of things here! Keep checking! ”
After listening to the words of the city guard, the lazy man waved his hand at the city guard soldier and shouted, and then he pointed at Xia Lan and the others, and said, "You follow me!" Maybe there was some misunderstanding between us! ”
After speaking, the strong man, who was called the captain by the city guards, led a few soldiers into the city with Xia Lan and his party.
Soon after entering the city gate, they came to a simple table and chair, and it was supposed to be a place for the city guards to laze and rest.
"In Lower Ogno, I'm sorry, my subordinates are not strict and rude!"
After stretching out his hand and scolding away the few soldiers who followed, the strong man said apologetically to Xia Lan and the others.
"Captain Ognor! We also have some faux pas, please forgive me for the trouble I just caused you! ”
Seeing this, Xia Lan hurriedly replied.
"Haha! It's okay! Now that everyone's misunderstanding has been resolved, let's get down to business! ”
After speaking, Ogno no longer had the lazy posture just now, and the whole person exuded a stern smell.
"I just learned your identity, and I heard you say that you are from the Kingdom of Adria?"
"Yes, Captain Ognor!"
"What proof do you have? I beg your pardon for the offense, after all, it's my job duty! ”
"We have a certificate issued by the Alchemy Society of the Adria Kingdom!"
As she spoke, Xia Lan motioned to Winnie, who had been silent beside her, and soon, Winnie carefully took out a delicate and beautiful nameplate from her arms and handed it to Ogno!
Ogno glanced at the nameplate handed by Winnie, and with his eyes, he could naturally see the value of the nameplate in his hand.
"Brancia. Winnie, an intermediate pharmacist, is affiliated with the Alchemy Society of Intramural Ezania? ”
Ogno looked at the identity on the nameplate and looked at the petite and silent mysterious man on horseback!
"That's right! This is our master, a promising pharmacist! Xia Lan raised her chest at the right time and said proudly.
"Can you show me your master's face? Please forgive me for my duty! ”
Ogno said after returning the nameplate to Winnie, who looked like a maid, with a businesslike look.
"Captain Ognor! I'm afraid we can't say yes to this request! ”
"Why?"
Ognor's eyes narrowed suddenly, but there was still a pleasant smile on his face.
"Because our master is a Sabronier, Captain Ogno should probably know that Sabronier's women will be blinded when they reach adulthood, and only show their most cherished appearance when they meet the man they love, and the gender of our master must be known to Captain Ogunne......"
Xia Lan explained with a sigh.
"I see!"
Captain Ogno nodded thoughtfully and said, "Okay, let's go!" I hope that today's misunderstanding will not affect your feelings. ”
"Thank you, Lord Ogono, for your reasonableness, please don't be surprised if you have a little heart!"
As he spoke, Xia Lan stuffed a golden coin into the other party's hand without leaving a trace.
"Haha......"
Ogno patted Xia Lan on the shoulder and said, "I hope we will meet again next time!" ”
When Xia Lan and his party left, Ogno's face sank for a moment.
"Captain! Those people are quite suspicious, why would you let them go? ”
At this moment, one of the soldiers who was following Ogno suddenly crept up to his approach and whispered.
"Their identities are real!"
Ogno rubbed the gold coin given by Xia Lan in his hand, and said in a low voice: "I think you should know the status of a mid-level pharmacist in Sisinia now, if we offend them lightly, we will most likely be ruthlessly retaliated against by the other party at that time!" Although they do make people feel suspicious, especially the pharmacist on horseback! Hehe...... What a custom of the woman of Sabronier! It's all bullshit! ”
"Then ...... you, Captain," the soldier beside him wondered.
"I'll go to the castle guard's mansion tonight!"
As he spoke, Ogno casually tossed the gold coin in his hand to the soldier beside him.
"Take it to the brothers for a drink in the evening."
"Thank you, Captain! Thank you, Captain! ”
After receiving the gold coin thrown by Ognor, the soldier hurriedly saw off with a smile on his face, and when he carefully looked at the gold coin in his hand, he couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.
"It turned out to be Adria's gold coin, tsk...... But it's better than nothing! ”――
