Outside the Kia Mountains. In the middle of a muddy mountain road full of vegetation. A team dressed in different clothes, pulling up a long line, marched with difficulty.

Months have passed since that brief meeting. After several "secret meetings," the people attending the banquet that day quickly decided on the time of departure and decided on the time of departure.

It's been nearly a month since the last human village was available for everyone to replenish. The people who walked through the mountains and forests could only nibble on the dry food that was difficult to swallow, drink the smelly drinking water in the leather bags around their waists, and sleep in the wilderness.

Riding a brown and yellow tall horse, Zheng Ming, who was walking at the front of the line, turned his head to look behind him. The aristocratic youths who were full of enthusiasm and excitement before, at this time, their faces were stained and their oily hairs were sticking together. The embarrassed appearance has long since lost its previous vigor.

However, it is commendable that after the first few days of crying and shouting for their mother, they quickly recognized the reality and found the right mentality.

Think about it too, these people are aristocrats. I have experienced a good education since I was a child, and I am in the upper position of the world pyramid. These people who are not willing to be ordinary and emerge in the royal capital, how can they have a simple character after fierce competition?

Their cognition may be limited by the times and their position, but their ability to learn and self-renewal is commendable.

Along the way, Zheng Ming originally thought that there would be bullying by local bullies or aristocrats bullying men and women in the storyline. found that there was nothing to do along the way, and it was so harmonious that Zheng Ming felt incredible.

Those Haoqiang who occupied one side had a very good attitude after seeing the various clan emblems of the armor on everyone's body, and they couldn't wait to greet each other. As for those aristocratic youths in the team, do you want them to show a deceitful appearance of bullying men and women in front of the rest of the noble children of the same level or even more noble than their own status? They said they couldn't afford to lose that person.

Of course, the team was able to make it so harmoniously to Lancelot. After running out of the royal capital, he put away his elegant and polite attitude towards everyone, and instead showed appropriate majesty and unsmiling. At the same time, as the leader of the team, he showed the care and understanding that everyone in the team could feel.

Even Zheng Ming, who didn't treat each other very well, had to admire each other. At least be familiar with the names and origins of everyone in the team, and Zheng Ming will never be able to do it.

It is said that gathering a group of like-minded companions requires luck and personal charm, and pulling up a team with different goals and different identities and habits depends on means and stronger personal charm.

In Zheng Ming's opinion, Lancelot is far better than Gawain, or Arthur and others. If you choose a friend, Zheng Ming will choose Arthur, but if you want to choose a qualified leader, it must be Lancelot.

While it was thinking in a trance, Lancelot, who was riding a pitch-black war horse, dressed in silver-white armor and wearing a blue cloak, drove his horse closer, and asked Arthur beside Zheng Ming: "There is a small lake not far ahead, and the surrounding open space is quite large, and the view is good. How about we rest there at night? ”

"The vegetation is dense and there are a lot of wild beasts in the vicinity. It is the only source of water around, and it is likely to be harassed by wild beasts at night. I think the valley in front of the left is a little better, not far from the water source, you can send someone to fetch it. And the concave valley has a natural barrier, and as long as a few of us take turns keeping vigil, we can fully guarantee the safety inside. ”

"Oh. Valid advice. But the last time you encountered the valley, why did you oppose it? ”

"It rained heavily, and the valley was too deep and humid. Not only will it make our bodies uncomfortable, but the accumulated moisture is not very friendly to armored weapons. That's why I chose a high-lying open space. ”

"Understood. Okay, let's do it. I'm going to inform you. ”

Zheng Ming listened to the conversation between the two throughout the whole process. During this period of time, Lancelot, who entered the wilderness for the first time, actively absorbed all kinds of common sense in the wilderness, and has made great progress. Nowadays, it is even possible for Arthur and the guide to offer some of their own opinions when choosing a place to stay.

It is worth mentioning that Arthur is also one of the leaders of this team, along with Lancelot. This team has three leaders, one is the land snake Lancelot, not to mention, and the other is the same noble knight Gawain, who has the most followers.

As for the reason why Lancelot voted to elect Arthur as the third leader, it was not his status as a duke. It's the other party's rich experience in the wilderness and the experience of mixing with the low-level adventurers in the early years. It was through this incident that Zheng Ming knew that Arthur did not seem to be a noble child who had stayed in the royal capital since he was born, but had a rich and arduous experience.

This also answered the doubts in Zheng Ming's heart from the side. It had always wondered why, compared to other noble children who were busy trying to improve their reputation or having fun, Arthur was always busy with his schoolwork. It turned out that Arthur was making up for the schoolwork he had studied before others, which caused him to be so busy.

Speaking of schoolwork, Zheng Ming thought of Gwyna who was still skipping etiquette classes at an age, and thought that if she insisted on coming here to ensure that she would make a moth again, Zheng Ming breathed a sigh of relief with a little joy.

"Hey, hey. Thankfully, Gwena happened to be grounded. Otherwise, according to her personality, she will definitely follow. What madness do you say the old king smoked? Suddenly, I got angry. Even if he puts his favorite granddaughter under house arrest, he also wants her to complete the etiquette class. ”

Arthur slapped off the stick that had been stabbed at his waist. He has become accustomed to the other party's almost provocative behavior. I saw a dull voice with helplessness coming from the horn helmet that covered his face.

"Don't slander the old king. If such words of yours reach the ears of those who have a heart, they will cause great disaster. As for Gwyna's business...... Isn't it good? It also allowed her to learn etiquette, and prevented her from suffering with her. She underestimated the hardships of going deep into the wilderness and dense forests. ”

Since the departure of the team, Arthur, who had not spoken much, has become more and more silent. Without a single servant, and with a helmet all year round, he became more and more withdrawn in the small circle that kept appearing in the team. Even Zheng Ming, who was traveling with Arthur, wandered outside various small circles, and could only occasionally chat about Arthur, scold Lancelot and Gawain, and spend a boring time on the road.

"Now, I think you have a good relationship with Gwyna. Obviously you know her late, how did you do it? When you look at her in front of Lancelot and Gawain, that little nymphomaniac doesn't look like she likes you, does she? Don't you want to climb up? I'd like to advise you that getting Gwyna is the best shortcut. If you think about it, the old king did not have a son or grandson to inherit the kingdom, only her granddaughter. If you can marry her, then you will go straight to the pinnacle of life. If you don't act quickly, you will be preempted by those two little white faces and wait to cry. ”

"You don't have to worry about that. Isn't your relationship with her also very good? I haven't seen you pursue her. I think she's better for you than for those two knights. ”

"Huh? I would like to. But look at my body. No, you're saying Gwyna is a ....... Huh~~~ Sure enough, the princes and princesses are all perverts. I actually think about my petite body. ”

I don't know if it's an illusion, Zheng Ming seems to have heard a crisp laugh, and through the thick covered helmet, it also looks extremely pleasant and slender.

For a moment, Zheng Ming forgot that inside the hideous armor beside him was a man named Arthur. It stared blankly at the bull-headed helmet, not even noticing that the stick in its hand had fallen from its horse and had been trampled into the earth by the horse's hooves.
