Chapter 278: Aylward City (Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription)

As for why Soram appeared here, it was Lance who took the initiative to find him.

Early this morning, before dawn, Lance came to the villa with a team of people to find Jacqueline and Mavis to set off together, just in time, Lance saw that Soram had been very idle recently, so he simply pulled Soram out of the bed.

Originally, Solam has been a little idle recently, although learning knowledge is very interesting, but Soram has always been an active character, always asking him to stay at home, and he is also bored and panicked, so he came without saying a word.

Lance really regarded this outing as a rare trip, not only Solam, she called both Christie and Leah. It was a very serious matter, but she made it like an outing, calling friends everywhere.

If it weren't for the fact that it was winter and a bit dangerous, Lance would have even planned to take Corinna with her.

As for the meeting between Yakos and Pedro, it was completely providential, Yakos was chosen, and it was chosen by those in the center, Lance was originally going to let Yakos not participate in this mission, after all, he had just gotten engaged to Corinna, as a friend, of course Lance couldn't break up the little couple like this.

But Yakos was very resolute, because he knew that compared to his family background, he was actually not worthy of Corinna, and Corinna was the heir of the Droni family, so it was impossible for him to change his surname with Yakos.

In a strict sense, Yakos is considered to have joined the Droni family, and in order to be with Corinna, Yakos not only gave up the inheritance of the family, but also had the surname Deroni in the future.

Although the parents of the two families are very open-minded about this, not only do they have no objection to this, but on the contrary, they are very supportive of it, and even in fact, Yakos's proposal to renounce the inheritance right was proposed by himself, and the family did not force it.

However, in the outside world, there are still many people who laugh at Yakos, and Yakos didn't react to this ridicule, after all, he really loves Corinna, and this grievance is nothing.

But if there is an opportunity to improve his status, he is still very willing, even if it is for the dignity of his man.

So he was willing to accept any order, for example, on the Eastern Front, he was also fighting desperately, so he almost hung up.

He was even more reluctant to give up this mission, after all, he was on a mission with the princess, and if he did well, it was certain to come back and improve his career. So he rebuffed Lance's offer, hoping that he would be more worthy of Corinna.

And Pedro will be here, completely at his own request. Pedro was supposed to rest in the Temple of Radiance, but when they came together in the morning, they heard that Silvermoon City was forming an elite team to be sent to Aylward City to solve the recent uproar about the disappearance, so he decisively participated.

Pedro, who was a little disheartened, planned to take this opportunity to leave the sad place of Silvermoon City directly, but he didn't expect the ghost to run into Yakos.

Besides, saving the dead and helping the injured was originally the duty of the paladin, and even if Silver Moon City didn't organize this operation, he wouldn't have gone by himself.

But I didn't expect that after he reported to duty, he actually found Yakos...... It's providence.

**********

From Silvermoon City to Aylward City, it only takes two or three days to reach by water, but now it is winter when the snow is heavy and frozen, and the waterway has long been covered by thick ice, so it can only be taken by land, which is much slower.

By the time they arrived at Aylward City, almost half a month had passed. No way, these days, the snow has not stopped falling, and it is not easy for them to come over so quickly.

Traveling in knee-high snow can take a lot more time than on flat ground, and if it weren't for the thorough preparation this time, they wouldn't be on the road right now.

Because there are a lot of mages following this time, they have prepared several magic carriages, which are enchanted in the body, which can greatly reduce the weight of the carriage, plus the wheels are replaced with sleigh-like boards, so the speed is okay.

And the carriage is also a very specific horse, this kind of horse has thick wool, good physical strength, endurance is first-class, the soles of the feet are also very large, very suitable for traveling in the snow, to say the disadvantage, is a little short, not much taller than a sheep, otherwise it will be a very good war horse.

"This is Aylward City, huh?" Lance stood in front of the carriage, looked at the city that was gradually becoming clear in front of her, and said with a little emotion.

Speaking of which, Lance is pitiful enough, she is almost 20 years old, and it is the first time she has left Yinyue to see the outside world. Ministers and officials of any world do not like their rulers running around.

First, the security is not guaranteed, especially in this world, there are not too many dangers, if their rulers run out of danger, those ministers and officials are not very embarrassed, and it is not good for the stability of the country.

Second, wouldn't it be more embarrassing if the ruler wandered around and saw something he shouldn't see?

No matter what world it is in, the oppression of the people by the elite class is simply a universal talent, and it is not necessary for others to teach it. But as a proper ruler, how can you really turn a blind eye to this? After all, is there a better opportunity for rulers to brush up on their prestige? So it's basically going to happen to you.

As long as the ruler is not stupid, he will run out to brush up on a wave of prestige, which is simply a certainty, and this is the best way to get the support of the people.

So, in the Feilun Continent, there will be a lot of the same jokes as "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview", all kinds of pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, all kinds of pretending to be slapped in the face, and the people also like this kind of thing.

But the nobles don't like it, and no one wants to be suddenly interrupted by the emperor Lao'er when they are pretending to be the coolest, not only can they not pretend to be forced, but they may also lose their heads. The nobles shivered at the thought of this.

Therefore, Lance was fooled by those nobles since she was a child and could not leave the royal capital. But now it seems that the aristocracy's expectations of creating a dead house ruler have been completely shattered, and the princess still runs away.

At this point, the nobles of Faeron are not as powerful as those bureaucrats in the ancient Celestial Empire. In the ancient Celestial Empire, it was rare for the emperor to come up with the palace, as long as the emperor had this idea, there would be a group of ministers who would block it in various tricks like beating chicken blood, and it would be said that a big channel would spray the emperor like a dog, and if you don't listen, you will be faint. It is said that the emperor will go out for a walk, and the country will be destroyed.

Do you know why, in the later period of those dynasties, those emperors were one by one? Are they really stupid? Not necessarily! The reason why they will seem very stupid is because he doesn't know what the situation of the people is, and they still think that their empire is still as strong as before.

This can only show one thing, that is, these nobles in the Faren Continent are still not as shameless as those bureaucrats in the ancient Celestial Empire, and they can't say those big nonsense! What is a ruler like to even rule the country he rules, then he still rules a fart, everything is to listen to the minister, isn't that a lie?

Therefore, in terms of the technique of fooling the ruler, the Faren Continent still has a long way to go.

To get back to the point, now Lance and his party have been picked up into the city by the soldiers of Aylward City, because Lance didn't notify the nobles in the city in advance at all, but just sent someone to say hello before entering the city, and didn't let them greet them, just let them gather at the city hall.

On the way to City Hall, Lance's face became worse and worse the more she looked, which was completely different from the report submitted by Aylward City. The whole city of Aylward is about to become a dead city.

There is not a single pedestrian on the street in broad daylight, this is the second largest city in the Silver Moon Kingdom, even in winter, it shouldn't be quiet like this, right? Didn't the report of Aylward City say that the mood of the people was stable? Is this called emotional stability?

A good city with a population of more than 200,000 people, there is no one on the streets in broad daylight, and there are patrolling soldiers everywhere, which is called emotional stability, what the hell is that instability.

Seeing this, Lance didn't know that she had been fooled by the bastards in Aylward City. This is blatant deception, how dare they? That's how they govern the place?

So when a group of people came to the town hall, Lance's face was ugly.

A group of nobles were originally preparing to greet the princess at the door, but when they saw Lance's face, they also knew that this time it was really over, and they were completely unprepared, and those methods were seen by the princess.

Lance didn't pay attention to these people at all, but walked quickly to the council hall, a group of nobles, you look at me, I look at you, no one knows, how to solve this situation, and finally this group of people had to follow into the council hall.

When they entered the council room, they saw that the princess was already sitting on the main seat, and when the group saw the situation, they were ready to sit down first, and talk to the princess about this matter, if they could fool the princess, of course, the main task now is to make sure that the princess extinguishes the fire.

But before some of them could touch the chairs, they saw the princess suddenly slap the table, "Bang! ”

"Are you too embarrassed to sit?"

Yes, these nobles immediately stood up straight, bowed to the princess, and at the same time slandered in their hearts from time to time, why is this princess so unkind, another queen of Xinbu, the nobles of the entire Silver Moon Kingdom are already "bored", and now it seems that this one is not much better.

"That's what you said in your report, although the matter has not been resolved, but the state of the population is stable? Yes? You are really good, you dare to deceive your superiors and subordinates so much in official documents? Are you still not vassals of the kingdom? Or do you think the queen and I are so easy to fool? ”

After speaking, he slapped his saber directly on the conference table! This almost scared those nobles out of their pee, they were afraid! I'm really scared! If the princess suddenly couldn't control her emotions, drew her sword, and slashed a few nobles out of anger, what would they do?

This kind of thing is very serious, but if the princess really does it, these people know very well in their hearts that the princess has absolutely no, and those unlucky people who were hacked to death will be miserable, not only will they be cut by the princess, but they are more likely to be charged with some messy crimes, and then they will be treated as innocent of death.

This is absolute, the princess has been valued by the queen and constantly paved the way for her, so it is impossible for her to make a mistake, if she kills a few nobles, then there is only one explanation, that is, those nobles are innocent, does this need to be said? Simply definitely.
