Heidelberg has a curfew late at night, and anyone who hits the streets late at night and is spotted by the patrolling Praetorian Guards will be subject to strict scrutiny, with the exception of some special services...... For example, some emergency military reports and the like. But today is different, today is the harvest festival, and there will be no curfew for a week from now on. However, if the little ones thought that this was an opportunity, they were wrong, not only the plainclothes police were everywhere, but the Praetorian Guards were also everywhere. So, if you see a group of big men chasing a pale, sweaty man, don't be surprised, it must be the law enforcers chasing the thief.

Hathaway was happily wandering around the market, she had been here the other day, but when she came back today, it felt different. In every major city of the empire, there was a unique free market...... This is a very long history of the O&D Empire, and long ago, when the whole society was still in the period of yeoman farming, people took all kinds of unique products handmade by their families to the market to buy and sell, and sometimes even if they were exchanged...... In fact, the original concept of business is to exchange products that you don't need for what you need.

However, with the development of society, the flea market-style business method has been replaced by a more new, centralized market, and the barter transaction method only appears in some private occasions...... In addition to this, some remote towns also maintain this traditional way of trading. However, in a large metropolis like Heidelberg, this type of trade is only allowed on major festivals. The food here is much cheaper than the one on the market, because it is a homemade product. Therefore, it retains certain advantages in style and characteristics, and of course, the main business in the free market is some small commodities. Only on special festivals, the aristocracy, driven by curiosity, patronize such stalls.

However, these strange little things can really attract the attention of tourists and buyers, Hathaway came to the Titan world, or the first time to see such a wide variety, strange little things, casually bought a lot of them, fortunately, there is space for rings. I don't think it's cumbersome. After walking from the street to the end of the street. She ran to watch the performance of the song and dance troupe with great interest, and before she knew it, the blue moon had quietly disappeared from the sky, and the purple sun was soaring. Leap into the sky from behind Heidelberg. Blooming with ten thousand rays of light.

Early in the morning. Hathaway with Stilwell. Ponson returns to Hughes's house, her worst day in Heidelberg, and will set off for the Cordillera Plateau tomorrow.

When Hathaway returned to Hughes's house, the first person Hathaway met was Berg. Lady Elizabeth's butler had already taken care of all her luggage and vehicles...... It's funny to say that he was ordered by Lady Elizabeth to spy on Hathaway. However, if he wants to gain Hathaway's trust, he must conscientiously complete the tasks that Hathaway has given him. Hathaway naturally doesn't treat him as his confidant because of his obedience, but trivial tasks such as travel or shopping are all done by Berg, and it seems that this guy is still doing a decent job.

"My lord, everything has been packed up, I wonder what you plan to do with it?" Berg asked, and he had carefully prepared a list.

Along the way, especially during the time when Hughes lived at the Hughes, Hathaway also bought a lot of things, in addition to some things that had to be taken with them, and some that didn't need to be carried at all...... Now it's a burden.

Hathaway glanced at the list and nodded: "You did a good job, and the rest will be handled by Mr. Hughes." Wait a moment and invite Mr. Hughes and Miss Cécia, and Mr. Petro to come to me, I have something to say. ”

"Yes, sir." Berg bowed slightly...... At the moment when he lowered his head, a touch of helplessness flashed on his face.

Hathaway's actions are like a flawless defensive martial art, and there is no chance to take advantage of it. Lady Elizabeth confessed that she wanted to gain her trust and find an opportunity to report her every move back. But now it seems that Hathaway values him very much and gives him a lot of things, but if you look closely, these tasks are inconsequential...... Or, at least, to Lady Elizabeth, it seemed headless, and he didn't even know what report to write.

"It seems that this Mr. Berg himself is not aware of the fact that he has been rejected from the circle by you." Stilwell. Ponson looked at Berg's back and muttered.

"It's that he feels so good about himself."

Hathaway shrugged, "And I didn't abandon him. Stilwell, you know that a magician always has a lot to do, and he can't do everything himself, and Mr. Berger is very helpful, as long as he thinks less and does more, he will not have troubles. ”

"Really?" Stilwell. Ponson was skeptical.

Indeed, troubles are everywhere...... Just as Hathaway returned to her room, she saw Cecia. Hughes was waiting for her at the door.

"Come in."

Hathaway pushed the door open and beckoned Cecia. Hughes came into the room, "You wait a minute, I'll go change my clothes." ”

"My lord, is the party in the palace fun?" Ilona asked curiously as she served her to change her clothes.

"There is not enough to eat, a large crowd of old and young are there to intrigue, and the smell of perfume and incense powder can smoke the dragon...... Ilona, hearing this, do you have any expectations for this kind of royal banquet? Hathaway asked rhetorically.

"Well, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to attend a royal banquet in my life." Ilona stuck out her tongue.

Cecia. Hughes is a very assertive girl, but in Hathaway's opinion, this can be understood as stubbornness at some point. In the original plan, Petro. Hughes would travel with her to the Cordillera Plateau, while Cessia. Hughes and her parents will be there once the Cordillera Plateau is more stable.

However, Cecia. Hughes insisted on going with her to the Cordillera Plateau...... It will be a burden for her, but it will still help.

If he went to the Cordillera Plateau with his men and horses fully armed, God knows what those guys would think, which would undoubtedly increase their vigilance, and even tie their hands and feet.

Sith. Carr's intelligence work is still very productive, and the Camilles family is currently the most powerful family in the Cordillera...... Yes, there was a man in their clan named Elizabeth. Camille's woman is married to Eden. Viscount Bell. From the information, Hathaway gained a lot of favorable things, but the Camille family knew nothing about her.

If the Camille family really has the will to make a big move, then they must first know something about Hathaway. Hughes is best suited to be one of their breakthroughs, as long as she releases some false information, it is enough to confuse them for a while, and Hathaway also takes advantage of this opportunity to act in secret. By the time they found out the truth, it was estimated that Hathaway would have been able to accomplish a lot by then. The Camille family offended many people when they were in power, and I believe that as long as there is an opportunity, many people will be happy to see them unlucky.

Of course, doing this kind of thing is quite possible for Cecia. Hughes was in trouble, even life-threatening, but that wasn't on Hathaway's radar...... This is not to say that Hathaway is prepared to deal with Cecia. Hughes didn't care about life or death. But there is a certain danger in this kind of thing itself, Cecia. Since Hughes has made his own choice, many things are out of Hathaway's control, and if it happens, Hathaway can only say that it is a pity.

Of course, if the most reluctantly is Hathaway's victory, Cecia. Hughes will also get what he deserves. This is very clear to each other.

This trip to the Cordillera felt like a gamble. Although it is not himself who has the advantage at present, Hathaway feels that his chances of winning will be greater, and the Camille family is not very confident in their own strength?

Sullivan. Hughes's abilities were mainly on the side of the Chamber of Commerce, and in the early days, Hathaway didn't need him to follow, but Petro. Hughes was going to follow her, and now there's Cecia. Hughes, so there are some things that need to be discussed further, and preparations are already underway...... After all, this time it was not a trip of a few people, but hundreds of people acting together, and she needed to prepare a lot of supplies in case of emergency.

In the evening, Barthes. Willy returned, along with a squadron of knights...... Dean Eastwood promised her, and also gave a note, uh, or a document is more appropriate, these fifty knights are not weak, the worst is also a bronze knight, and the squadron leader is a knight of the silver three rings.

Because of the relationship between Dean Eastwood, this matter went very smoothly, and as long as Hathaway was not repatriated, they would always follow Hathaway.

The Dirouet family's manor was a bit more troublesome, and the fireworks could not be stopped for the time being, so they had to stay here for the time being, and then move back when the Cordillera Plateau was ready. However, as long as the second prince is here, Hathaway doesn't need to worry too much, even if it is the prince Caesar, he doesn't dare to do anything.

On the mercenary union's side, Hathaway had confirmed the arrangements for departure a few days ago, and sent someone to tell Sgart. Cancy, let him be ready at all times.

Early the next morning, Hathaway's carriage was in Barthes. Willy and others, escorted by a squadron of knights, sailed out of Heidelberg.

At the gates of Heidelberg, heavily armed mercenaries were waiting there.

Compared with the past, this mercenary seems to be much more mature, at least they stand and march, and they look a little bit, and they are no longer scattered...... And more than ten square miles from Heidelberg, Petro. Hughes, with a guard consisting mostly of orcs, greeted the carriage. (To be continued......)
