Chapter 20: The Journey

In the year 4594 of the Magnolia calendar, the Puang Empire was re-established as scheduled, and the position of the imperial family did not fall on any single family in the end.

After discussions among many powerful people in the Holy Realm, the empire implemented the system of electors, and nine noble families, including the former royal Sistan family and the strongest Gaskel family, took turns to determine the emperor's throne through elections. Although this is a relatively unique system, but the real battle is still some masters of the major families who have no hope of reaching the Holy Domain, after all, in more than ten years of war, it is the most ordinary civilian, and well-informed people know that the real decision of the empire is not the emperor on the throne, but the powerhouses of the Holy Land behind it.

And for Wright and other Sacred Domain powerhouses, for the sake of their own side, discussing with each other and determining the general direction is already considered to have done the job. As for how to implement the system of this elector, how to operate the country, and many other matters are left to the descendants below, as well as some officials who have been promoted, to discuss. Except for a few of the Sacred Domain powerhouses who had completely given up their cultivation, most of them hoped that their strength could go further, and it was impossible for them to spend a lot of time on these mundane things.

Four years ago, Cromwell broke through to the god level and left the material plane to enter the supreme plane, which indeed inspired many Sacred Domain powerhouses whose cultivation was hopeless. Especially the other eight Sacred Domain Extreme powerhouses, each of them had already lost confidence, most of them had been at the threshold of the Sacred Domain Limit for thousands of years, but now that Cromwell had broken through, they also thought that they were also possible, after all, they were only one step away from the god level.

And most of these are thousands or even thousands of years old powerhouses, and most of them have left the mainland and headed for the North Sea Ice Field. Under the influence of the seniors in these holy domains, for a while, the powerhouses of the sacred domains on the continent were either really inspired to cultivate seriously, or they caught up with this trend and went to the Northland Ice Fields to cultivate.

And Wright and his wife, the dragon-blooded warrior Cecilia, who disappeared after the re-establishment of the Puon Empire, did not catch up with this excitement.

As early as when Wright was in the battle with Ernst, Wright's perception of the laws of the earth had already reached the limit of the Sanctuary, after all, the fusion of the two mysteries, although he had newly obtained a strange scale sent by Beirut, and the fluctuations it emitted had a lot of touches on Wright's perception, but it was difficult to make an inch of progress before breaking through the current bottleneck.

And Cecilia is also very confident in her talent in cultivation, and has been practicing the law of perception in the miniature space secret room for more than ten years. Although it is still inferior to Wright, the law of the wind has also reached a bottleneck, and if Cecilia is now counted in the transformation, his strength is actually not inferior to that of ordinary Sanctuary extreme powerhouses.

Penance is useless to improve strength, and the husband and wife are very quiet, so they have a plan to travel in the mainland.

Muli City, a small city in the north of the Yulan Empire, is located in a plain area, with fertile land, and a tributary of the Yulan River, the Kebi River, with a rich water system. Compared with the northern part of the Puang Empire, which still has some famines from time to time, it is rich in products, and it is also a well-known food city on the mainland, and the food characteristics are no less than the imperial capitals of the two empires.

Every year in the second week after autumn, it is the day when the people of the Magnolia Continent celebrate the harvest, and in Muli City, the harvest celebration is also a feast of food.

Of course, at this time, the entrance tax of Murray City and the accommodation fee of the hotel are often increased several times. However, those who have the money to participate in this kind of event generally have at least some wealth, and there is no shortage of this money.

In the street where the smell of food wafted from the smell of food, there were two young men, a man and a woman, the man looked to be about twenty years old, wearing a half-length cuirass and carrying a hammer on his back, while the woman looked two years younger, and was pretty, wearing high-quality leather armor and carrying a scimitar at her waist. It was Wright and Cecilia disguised as a relatively powerful elite mercenary couple. The two of them felt that they had traveled on the mainland, so they set up a caravan in the Territory of Chaos, and went all the way south, passing through various cities, and if the city was interesting, they would visit it, and follow the caravan or simply go on their own to the next city.

And Muri City is undoubtedly an 'interesting' city.

"Well, this one is delicious!" Cecilia, whose appearance and personality have not changed from her girlhood, took a fried fragrant snack and stuffed it in her mouth. And Wright looked at his wife with a smile, the two of them became a sanctuary early, just by looking at the appearance, it was impossible to see that the two of them were actually nearly half a hundred years old, and his wife Cecilia was still the same foodie as before.

"Wright, take a bite, sweet!" Cecilia took a few bites before remembering that her husband was behind her, and muttered a string of local snacks into Wright's mouth.

"Well, it's quite sweet, and it's charred on the outside and tender on the inside, it seems that the food culture here is not blown, those chefs of the Puang Empire are steamed in addition to boiling, and the taste is too light." The food that Wright handed over to his wife seemed to be a kind of fried meat, and when he bit into it, his eyes lit up, and the meat was wrapped in some kind of grain, and the syrup poured into it oozed out, and the taste was indeed fragrant and sweet.

Both of them liked the deliciousness of this snack very much, and bought some more.

"Are you two satisfied with the 'white millet meat crisp' I made?" The stall owner, an old woman who looked very old, asked with a trembling but clear voice.

Cecilia was busy eating, and only nodded, while Wright thanked him, dozens of meat skewers are only five gold coins, and ordinary civilians may find it a little expensive, but not to mention that they are all powerhouses in the Holy Domain, even the identity of elite mercenaries in disguise does not care about the money.

The old woman was very happy to hear Wright and Cecilia praise her for the snacks she made, and chatted with Wright and Cecilia.

And when Wright said that he and his wife were mercenaries, and that this time they were passing by Murray City, and that they would go south next, the old woman hesitated. Change asks Wright if they can accept a commission.

"Hmm!" Wright nodded, feeling strange in his heart.

The mercenary commission in this world is not the same as the chic and romantic in some literary and artistic works in his previous life.

Mercenaries accept assignments, rarely in private, and are mostly hired by caravans as guards in the name of a group.

Strictly speaking, the mercenary's main income is to work as a guard for merchants or travelers. In addition, there are indeed commissions such as searching for people and finding certain items, but it is often not civilians who make such commissions, and the mercenaries charge relatively high, but Wright thinks that the snacks made by this old woman can make Cecilia happy, and he doesn't mind suffering a loss, anyway, he is not a real mercenary, and there is no shortage of gold coins, he and Cecilia travel to the continent more to experience various lives.

Hearing Wright's answer, the old woman smiled, and the two missing teeth stood out.

"I've lived in Murray City all my life." The old woman said in a slow but clear voice, "But my husband has been in the army before, and then the army is stationed in our city of Muri. Later, he stayed," the old woman said, with a happy glint in her eyes.

"A few years ago, my husband passed away, but he left this thing behind!" The old woman took out a very cheap silver pendant.

"When he was seriously ill, he said that he wanted to send this thing back to his hometown, the city of Gang Vali City in XX Province, but I never left Muli City." The old woman's expression was a little embarrassed.

"I don't know if I can hire you to help me deliver this necklace to the city of Harbor Vali." The old woman spoke with a look of hope, "I'll pay, twenty gold coins, is that enough?" ”

Wright raised his eyebrows, he was not a real mercenary, but he also knew that twenty gold coins to send a small item to the city of the next province was a relatively high price. This old woman belonged to a relatively ordinary civilian, and at most she had dealt with some low-level warriors in her life, and rarely had contact with mercenaries.

So she didn't know, although twenty gold coins to give an item was a very cost-effective deal for mercenaries, but many times the mercenaries would deal with it casually on the way. Anyway, the old woman didn't have any ability to verify the pendant to a designated place, not to mention that the money was in hand, and the old woman couldn't get it back.

But then again, accepting this kind of commission was also a very novel experience for Wright.

Anyway, he is not a real mercenary, this time he traveled on the continent with Cecilia, it didn't matter where he went, they all planned to go around the continent at first. For ordinary warriors, it may be very difficult, but for the two peak masters of the Holy Domain, it is very easy.

While Wright and Cecilia were running for the old woman's commission, a conspiracy against Wright was being discussed in Rhine, an independent city in the south of the Poon Empire and the holy city of the Holy See of Light.
