Chapter 85: Audrey Thanlyan
The next morning, a cacophony of sounds woke up the sleeping crowd. The voices were getting closer, and it seemed as if something was approaching them. Judging by the sound, it should be a horse team, and there are quite a few of them. Just as the guards pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords and pushed the blades out of their swords with their thumbs, a voice came from above:
"It's my own people, the garrison of Conteseno."
Hearing this, the guards pressed down on their swords again, and someone had already gone to report to Ophelia.
Not long after, a cavalry team of several hundred men appeared in front of everyone, and the first officer, after seeing Ophelia, dismounted and gave a military salute:
"Her Royal Highness the Princess, subordinate Merrig, is here on order."
"Well, go ahead."
By the way, Lu Kaifeng is still sleeping in the carriage, he has long found this pair of people, but after recognizing which family it is, he fell asleep again.
The handover went smoothly, and it didn't take long for the men brought by Melig to complete the reception. They will take these people back to Contesino, where the bandits will send them to labor, and the captured villagers, Orambet, will give them a good arrangement.
Not long after the handover was completed, the convoy was back on the road. So, Lu Kaifeng started his motion sickness journey again.
However, after surviving the third night, Lu Kaifeng stayed up a little bit, because at noon on the fourth day, they arrived at Nalebus.
Originally, the carriage could have traveled a little faster, however, if it was a little faster, Lu Kaifeng would probably vomit out all his intestines. Considering his feelings, Ophelia didn't speed up.
Lu Kaifeng also wondered in his heart, obviously he came to this world to gain good physical fitness, and even if he encountered some discomfort, he could quickly adapt to it. He had done an experiment to cut his skin with a knife, but the wound had scabbed over in a few seconds, and in less than ten minutes, the scab began to fall off, and there was no trace of the skin that was re-exposed, as if it had not been injured before.
But this motion sickness...
In the past few days, in addition to eating and sleeping, Lu Kaifeng has spent almost all of his time in the carriage. It stands to reason that with his current physical fitness, he should have adapted to the carriage a long time ago.
However...
It is estimated that if anyone wants to kill him in the future, they don't have to buy the killer, just trick Lu Kaifeng into the carriage, and then run wild for a few days and nights to make Lu Kaifeng vomit to death.
Of course, the premise is that you can find a horse that can run wild for days and nights without eating or drinking without exhaustion...
The nonsensical things were put aside first, and Lu Kaifeng saw that Lu Kaifeng had a hard time on the road in the past few days, so he did not continue to hurry, but planned to stay in Nalebus for a day to rest and recuperate before going on the road. This news is like God's gospel to Lu Kaifeng, he finally doesn't have to stay in the carriage that will make him vomit to death as soon as he starts!
As soon as he entered the city, Lu Kaifeng couldn't wait to get out of the carriage, naturally, at the moment of getting off the car, his piercing black hair attracted a large number of eyes, and countless people were either curious or looking at him one after another, and from time to time someone pointed at him and talked about something.
In this regard, Lu Kaifeng said that he was used to it, and when he was in Conte Seno, he was like a giant panda in the zoo, and he was the focus of attention wherever he went. Although not as cute as the giant panda, the black hair and a pair of black eyes are enough to make the Aram a novelty for a long time.
Ignoring those strange gazes, Lu Kaifeng took a deep breath. He felt like he had been reborn in this moment!
...
The Principality of Galea, with its capital at Galingbon
"Grand Duke, Her Royal Highness the Princess is on her way back to Galingbon."
In the ornate room, Visakt, dressed in the uniform of the chief of affairs, stood beside the Grand Duke to give a report.
"Huh?"
The Grand Duke, who was dealing with government affairs, closed the document in his hand, and his originally frowning eyebrows loosened at this moment, revealing a kind smile:
"Is this kid finally willing to come back?"
"Yes, at their pace, it is estimated that they have reached Nalebs by now." Visakt paused and continued, "In addition, the new platinum-level adventurer 'Demon Hunter' is also in the convoy of His Highness Ophelia. It is said that they also destroyed a den of bandits on the way. ”
"The brunette that Ophelia met in Anglis?"
"Yes."
Hearing this, Kense's eyebrows raised:
"Is that so? Not... Arrange for a party to be held when Ophelia returns, and the reason for this is to thank the 'Demon Hunters' for guarding Conteseno. Remember, this must be done well. ”
"Yes."
...
When night fell, there was silence around the dilapidated hut, no lights were on the windows, and the yard was overgrown with weeds, presumably no one had lived in it for a long time. But in such a remote room, five black shadows suddenly floated out. In this dilapidated atmosphere, a few figures suddenly appeared, this feeling is not too terrible, if someone just saw this scene, they would definitely be scared half to death.
However, these five black shadows were not bull ghosts and snake gods, they were all wearing hooded cloaks, and they were distributed among the shadows of this small house at this time. Under the light of the tricolor moon, they could barely see each other's inadvertently small pieces of black hair peeking out of their hoods.
One of them glanced around, glanced out the window again, and then asked, the voice echoing in the musty little house, which seemed a little hollow, and if it weren't for the fact that the man was there, no one present would know where the sound came from.
"Are you all there?"
"Anrit is being targeted, and it may not appear in the near future."
"Leave him alone. Any news in the near future? ”
"Nope."
"Nope."
"Nope."
The response sounded softly, and the hood could be faintly seen shaking slightly, as if they were shaking their heads. The man under the hood frowned, which was not good news. He turned to look at the man who hadn't yet reported.
"The target is on its way to Galingbon and should have reached Nalebs at noon today."
"Any other information about the target?"
"No, nothing has changed except that his status has changed to that of a new platinum-level adventurer from the Adventurers' Guild. In addition, the target weapon is a black longsword, but it is not judged to be a soul burial. ”
When they heard the black long sword, the other four people present obviously trembled, but after listening to the latter sentence, this fluctuation was suppressed again, and the atmosphere was a little depressed for a moment.
I don't know how long it took, but the man who spoke first spoke:
"Anyway, let's try it first, and the others will continue to investigate, and report as soon as there is news."
"Yes..."
The shadows melted into the shadows, and in a moment they vanished, as silent and eerie as they had come.
In the corner, a dark shadow was still standing there, the hood had been taken off at some point, the short black hair was exposed to the three-colored moonlight, and a pair of black eyes were full of anticipation and hope, and full of panic and anxiety.
They hope that their wishes will come true, but they are afraid of the coldness of reality.
Hopefully, this time, they'll find it.
