78. Not a tedious journey
Rohr gave the kitten a look, and the latter quickly broke free from Jeanne's chest, jumped back into Raul's hand, and took the initiative to get into his shirt pocket, shivering.
Jeanne's pretty face was full of regret and reluctance, and she watched Rohr leave.
But I always feel that she is reluctant to seem to be a little milk cat?
Luoer's attitude is resolute and the purpose is clear, he has traveled so far to find his daughter, and he doesn't want to participate in other messy things at all.
After he walked away, next to the old tree next to the school playground, a dark-skinned young man walked out.
He trotted to Jeanne's side, bowed slightly, and then asked in a low voice in the local vernacular:
"Your Excellency, who is that man? Need to track? ”
Jeanne shook her head again and again, put away the gentle smile on her face, and said in a commanding tone:
"No, don't offend this gentleman!"
"His strength is unfathomable, and he is personable, he is a respectable gentleman of the Empire, and he just saved me."
After that, she followed up and asked:
"Are you all right over there?"
A flash of sadness flashed across the young man's face, and he replied in a deep voice:
"We were attacked by three cultists, they brought guns, and in the end five brothers died, and we barely managed to get rid of them, so we came too late......"
Jeanne closed her eyes slightly, her pretty face showed a deep sadness, and she put her hands in front of her chest and whispered a few words.
Inexplicably, she remembered the scene when Luo Er received the bullet empty-handed......
The two of them observed a moment of silence together, and then the young man spoke again:
"Your Excellency, the cultists have attacked us, indicating that there are internal demons among us who have betrayed your location, Sweet Frost City is no longer safe, you had better hurry to Alpine Fort as soon as possible."
Jeanne smiled wryly and replied:
"I originally planned to finish the last class for the children tomorrow and then go to Alpine Fort, but it seems that I will have to leave early tomorrow morning."
"Take care of the kids for me."

Rohr went back to the hotel and saw that the guide Zaza had come back honestly and waited for him.
"It's great that you're safe!"
The guide greeted him and whispered:
"Did you really go back to Mademoiselle Jeanne?"
"No, I'm going to find out."
As he spoke, Rohr snatched the remaining half of it from the cat's paw and stuffed it into the guide's hand.
I knew that I had been played to death by the little milk cat a long time ago, but for some reason there was half left, probably because I wanted to share it with my best friend Little Donkey?
"Hold it, and you hold it...... Well, half the summer. ”
Rohr patted the guide on the shoulder and went to the stable to look after the little donkey.
The next day, Rohr woke up early, but he looked very sluggish and had dark circles under his eyes.
Last night, five young ladies knocked on his door......
Although he drove them all away, he really didn't sleep well, and made the guide let out that ambiguous smile when he saw him.
Fortunately, the guide had prepared an open-top carriage, which was quite spacious, and Rohr let the little donkey lie down, and then pillowed on its belly to make up for its sleepiness.
But after walking a short distance, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Rohr heard someone talking in a daze:
"Are you going to Alpine Fort too? Can you give me a ride? It just so happens that I have prepared a little too much for lunch, so I can share it with you. ”
"Of course, no problem, Miss Jeanne, Monsieur Rohr must also want to go with a beauty like you."
Rohr was quick-witted and sat up quickly, just in time to see Jeanne climb into the carriage with quick hands and feet.
Today is still the same simple equipment as yesterday, but there is an extra shoulder on her shoulders, and she also wears a round sunhat on her head, and her face is still bright and moving underneath.
"You...... How do you ......"
Rool's expression was abrupt.
He really didn't want to have anything to do with this woman.
"Hehe, the teacher also has a vacation, I happened to be going to Alpine Fort today, I didn't expect to meet Mr. Rohr so fatefully."
Jeanne chuckled.
Luo Er is also helpless, he can't drive people down, right? It's too ungraceful.
Fortunately, Jeanne is also very smart, and instead of talking about those discordant topics, she talks normally and simply, telling Rohr all kinds of interesting things at school.
Jeanne is very talkative and very good at finding topics, chatting about the childish and innocent things of the children, as well as the various troubles when taking care of them, which makes Rohr smile from time to time, feel the same way, and have a much better impression of her.
When this woman is normal, she is still very attractive.
Luo Er also bluntly told her that her baby daughter had joined the archaeological team, and she was really relieved that she was looking for her daughter this time.
I don't know if Jean Na believes it or not, but she compliments it:
"You are really a responsible father, and your daughter must be well-behaved and obedient, right?"
"Of course, she's the only treasure in my life."
Rohr said, and then asked:
"By the way, do you know the exact location of that ancient ruin?"
Jeanne shook her head.
"All I know is that it's probably in a valley to the west of Alpine Fort, and I don't know much more about it......"
"You may find it funny to say it, it is obviously a relic in the territory of our principality, but the Empire, the barbarians, and the United Kingdom do not allow our people to come close, except for those conscripted coolies......"
As she spoke, the smile on her face gradually turned to a wry smile.
Rohr can understand the bitterness in her heart, no normal person would want his country to become like this.
But there is nothing he can do other than understanding and sympathy.
The two chatted about the customs and customs, and at about noon, they could already see the walls of the mountain fort.
Rohr was still a little surprised when he saw the city wall for the first time, he thought that this thing had been eliminated by the times......
In the face of powerful artillery and unpredictable extraordinary power, the city wall is really useless, like the empire, which has long replaced the backward city wall with steel fortresses, concrete fortresses and other more scientific and reasonable fortifications.
This kind of thing, which is supposed to exist as a cultural relic, is actually a very reliable defense in the backward and fertile valleys......
The carriage didn't travel long before it reached the city gate, where a small group of soldiers from the Duchy of Maude was checking the people entering the city.
One soldier wanted to come over to inspect Rohr's carriage, but was slapped by their squad leader and cursed in the local vernacular.
"He's saying, you're a distinguished guest from the Empire, how can you check it?"
Jeanne translated in a low voice with a smile on her face.
Sure enough, the carriage was not inspected in any way, and entered the city smoothly, and the captain of the squad still had a flattering smile on his face, nodding at Rohr incessantly, as if he had no backbone.
