On the official road outside the city of Palermo, Lin Xia and Jona were slowly moving in the direction of the Crystal Tower in a horse-drawn carriage.

After arranging the children, Lin Xia and Jona stayed in the city of Palermo for a night, and of course all the expenses were paid by Gomez.

Gomez once again showed his slamming attributes, Gomez arranged for Lin Xia and Jona to live in a very remote small hotel, Lin Xia heard Gomez and the owner of this hotel bargain, and the two rooms were less than a silver coin.

As for the entanglement, Gomez seemed to have made a lot of determination to take out two gold coins from his shoes. Originally, Lin Xia and the two of them were kept by Qiao Na, but Qiao Na really disliked these two gold coins, so Lin Xia had to frown and reluctantly take over the financial power.

Lin Xia even felt that Gomez had not pointed all the attribute points on the door, which caused his emotional intelligence to be extremely low.

Fortunately, Gomez arranged a carriage for the two, although this carriage was more "simple" than the simple carriage of the Sirin family, but fortunately, it could lead the way, although there was a smell of stinky socks in the carriage, but the two could only endure it.

The coachman was not an active soldier under Gomez, but a servant of the Gomez family, named Harper, a veteran soldier in his fifties who had defended the city of Palermo.

Although Gomez is very picky, he is also a commander, and there are still servants in the family, although there is only this one servant.

And the relationship between Gomez and the servant Harper made Lin Xia feel speechless, which can be seen from Harper's attitude towards Gomez when he set off this morning. When Gomez sent Lin Xia and Jona off, Harper, as a coachman, said to Gomez: "Take good care of the house, if you come back to the house is too messy, see that I don't break your dog's legs." ”

It was as if Harper was the master of the house, and Gomez was more like a servant who was angry with his master.

Harper is very familiar with the road from Palermo City to the Crystal Tower, according to him, he had been a mercenary for two years before joining the army, and his main job was to go to the Jingyue Lake Forest to hunt the core of the Demon Beast.

After hunting the magic core, he returned to Palermo City to rest, and then sent the magic core to the Crystal Tower for a reward, because the Crystal Tower, as a commercial city on the mainland, gave the most fair price.

Of course, Lin Xia will also ask Harper about the situation of the Crystal Building, but unfortunately Harper said that the consumption of the Crystal Building is too high, and he will leave immediately after every exchange for payment, so he doesn't know much about the situation of the Crystal Building.

Lin Xia thought about the only two gold coins in his arms, and was a little worried, if it was high consumption, he didn't know if these two gold coins could hold on until Elvis found him.

According to Harper's account, it takes about three days for the three of them to reach the Crystal Tower, and the security near the Crystal Tower is very good, and there are generally no thieves or homeless people.

Nothing happened for two days, Lin Xia and Qiao Na were very relaxed, sitting and chatting leisurely in the carriage, sometimes gossiping, and sometimes Lin Xia taught Qiao Na to sing two new songs. Of course, storytelling is also indispensable, mainly to tell the story of the Vajra gourd baby escorting the believers to learn the scriptures...

Of course, Lin Xia already knows Jona's background, Jona is a traditional martial arts family of the Charlemagne Empire, this family has produced many famous generals, and even once produced an imperial marshal.

Jona's family has a hereditary marquis title, has a fief in half of the province in the empire, and the ancestors of the Jona's family once followed Tang, which makes the two naturally feel close.

But Jona's father, Marquis Gust, as the patriarch of the family, is extremely embarrassed that he has no son, only Jona, a daughter, so he naturally treats Jona as a pearl in his palm. But without a son, there was no one to inherit the family's title, which also made the Marquis Gust a little disheartened, so he resigned from the Imperial Military Department and returned to the territory to become a rich man.

However, although Marquis Gust has withdrawn from the military department of the Empire, there are still people in the family who are active in the military of the Empire, such as Bradley and his father, whom Lin Xia once saw during the school review, are members of Jona's family.

According to the imperial decree, if the Marquis of Gust did not have a son to inherit the throne before his death, he could choose one of his relatives within three generations as his heir. Originally, the Marquis of Gust was worried that the failure to appoint an heir would lead to chaos in the family, but in fact, the family was not only not chaotic, but became more and more united. Because everyone wants to behave well and win the favor of the Marquis of Gust.

Today, Jona decided not to let Lin Xia tell him a story, and instead taught Jona to play the guitar.

Teaching Lin Xia to play the guitar, it is inevitable that there will be some physical contact, as a straight man of steel and very upright, Lin Xia of course tries to avoid physical contact, so much so that Qiao Na doesn't care much, but instead casts a resentful look at Lin Xia.

It took a morning, Lin Xia finally taught Qiao Na a few chords, and she could barely do some simple accompaniment, and the two of them played and sang on the road, which was also very comfortable.

Just as the two were playing and singing, the carriage suddenly braked suddenly, because the brakes were too fast, the first half of the carriage actually warped, and the two of them bounced up directly from their seats.

Lin Xia was worried that Qiao Na would be injured, so she hurriedly protected Qiao Na and fell into the carriage together, and Qiao Na accidentally kissed Lin Xia's face.

After the carriage stabilized, Qiao Na's face flushed for a while, and Lin Xia was so dedicated to protecting Qiao Na that she didn't notice that she was kissed at all, seeing that Qiao Na was just blushing, thinking that she was frightened, she comforted her and got out of the carriage directly to see what was going on.

As soon as I got off the carriage, I saw a man in his thirties lying on the ground holding his legs in front of the carriage, crying and howling in front of the carriage.

As Lin Xia, who was nurtured by all kinds of bad movies in his previous life, he could see at a glance that this man's acting skills were clumsy, and there was a difference of at least five or six levels between his actor-level acting skills and that fooled Minal.

Harper also got out of the driver's position, saw the man howling on the ground, thought that the carriage had hit him just now, and wanted to come forward to apologize and see the man's injuries. As soon as Harper passed, the man rolled on the spot to avoid Harper, and continued to hold his legs and howl.

At this time, three more men came out from the side of the road, these three men were in their thirties and very strong. One of them, a man with a pockmarked face, pointed at Harper, and said as if he had discovered the truth of the matter: "You are simply too a hooligan, you are not done hitting people, you still have to beat people." ”

In fact, Harper just wanted to go over and see the man's injuries, so he explained to the pockmarked man: "I didn't mean to hit someone, I just wanted to see his injuries." ”。

No matter what Harper says, he thinks that Harper will hit someone after hitting someone, and he almost rises to killing people.

The other two, a man in a cloth shirt, walked up to the lame man who had been hit on the ground and pretended to check the man's injuries. And the other person had a scar on his face, and he stood next to Mazi Face and scolded: "Don't think that you are great if you have a carriage, and you want to bully us poor, I want to see who dares to play here today?"

The man in the cloth shirt examined the lame man who was hit decently, stood up and said to Harper and Lin Xia: "I'm a doctor, I just checked his injuries, and he may have to be amputated." ”

As soon as the man in the cloth shirt finished speaking, the lame man began to howl again: "I am old and young, how can I support my family if I am crippled." ”

The man in the cloth shirt comforted the lame man, walked up to the pockmarked face and the scar man, stopped them, and said like a mediator: "Presumably they didn't mean to, you see this person is lame, don't be too excited." ”

The man in the cloth shirt walked back to the lame man and said, "You must have your leg amputated now, otherwise you won't be able to use your waist when the injury spreads." In my opinion, you should let them lose more money, and you should hurry up and get your leg treated. ”

Qiao Na also got out of the carriage with a red face at this time, looking at Lin Xia suspiciously, wondering what was going on.

Lin Xia signaled that Qiao Na was okay, and did not step forward to stop them, just watching them act from the side.

After all, Harper was also a mercenary, and he also saw that something was wrong, so he wanted to come forward to theorize, but was stopped by Lin Xia.

At this time, the lame man didn't seem to buy the man in the cloth shirt's suggestion, and shouted: "I want to report to the official, and I will put them in prison." ”

The man in the cloth shirt hurriedly persuaded him: "Even if they are put in prison, your leg will not be better, you ask them to compensate you with one hundred gold coins, so that your life in the future will not be too difficult." ”

I asked for a hundred gold coins when I opened my mouth, which is poor and crazy. Lin Xia asked Harper, "How long do we have to get to the Crystal Tower?"

"There are about two hours left. Harper looked at the sky and said, "I plan to arrive in the evening, but if they delay it, it may not be until dark." ”

Lin Xia didn't bother to watch them act anymore at this time, so he walked over and said, "Hurry up and get out, otherwise I will really break your legs." ”

The man in the cloth shirt came over at this time and said: "Why don't you listen to persuasion, just lose some money, it's useless for you to intimidate him like this." After speaking, he pointed to the pockmarked face and the scar man and persuaded Lin Xia: "You see that these two people are burly, I'm afraid something will happen if you are in a hurry." ”

The man in the cloth shirt was ostensibly persuading Lin Xia, but at the same time threatening him with a pockmarked face and a scar man.

Lin Xia lost his patience, slapped the man in the cloth shirt down, and walked towards the lame man. Seeing that Lin Xia didn't agree with each other, the pockmarked face and the scar man moved and unconsciously took a few steps back.

At this moment, Lin Xia suddenly felt a crisis, this was Lin Xia's unique intuition after cultivating True Qi, and hurriedly flew back, just two steps back, a sword slashed into the air and nailed it in front of him.
