078 Night in the city
It wasn't until late in the evening that Larry finally saw a place that resembled a city under Gareth's guidance.
Because they did not land from the harbor city, they did not pass through any village or small town until they reached the place Gareth pointed to, and it is conceivable that if they were drifting across the ocean from the sea in this era, they would not be faced with a place like a seaside town, but an endless uninhabited land.
And this time, it is a rather closed city, the towering city wall circles a piece of land on the ground, forming the main body of the city, the gray earth and stone wall gives people a thick and lonely feeling, as the sky is dark, the soldiers defending the city began to light the firewood candlesticks on the city wall, in order to illuminate the dark world.
By the time we reached the city gate, it was already completely dark.
Gareth has already changed into heavy armor, after all, this is a foreign country, if others know that she is a daughter, even if she has the name of the Knight of the Round Table, it is estimated that the deterrent effect on others will be much reduced.
The caravan slowly walked to the gate of the city, and Lily also put on a gray cape, after all, in this era, a beautiful woman walking on the street is always in trouble, let alone a girl like Lily who looks very simple.
Fortunately, one of the selection criteria of the Knights of Fiona is [not to bully the weak and women], and with this as a guarantee, it is actually relatively good, and Larry is worried about the [rats] who will start acting after nightfall.
"Stop!" The guards guarding the door stretched out their hands to signal the caravan to stop, and at the same time, several guards around them also spread out in a circle formation, blocking all the 180 degrees in front of the caravan, and the other party had already blocked all the directions that the caravan could go.
It can be said that the quality of this group of guards is quite good.
Of course, there is a reason for this, ordinary carriages do not make the guards so guarded, but there are no caravans pulled by horses, and this strange existence makes them have to be vigilant.
"Explain your intentions." The captain-like guy at the head walked to the side of the caravan and glanced at the three men with a suspicious expression, and after his eyes lingered on Gareth's body for a moment, he said, "Look at this one, is it a British knight?" ”
The knights' ornamentation was also regional, with the most common silver-white armor for the British knights, while the knights of the Fiona Knights were mostly brass armor, so the captain could quickly determine the approximate identity of the person.
"Yes, I am King Arthur's emissary, knight Gared, I hope you will let us into the city, I have something to discuss with Queen Maeve." With that, Gareth jumped out of the caravan and handed the letter rolled up in parchment to the captain.
After deliberately lowering his voice, Gareth's words no longer looked like a woman's voice at all, but a magnetic baritone, at which point Larry even had the illusion that maybe Gareth could be a voice actor or something.
And there is a reason why Gareth's name is not revealed.
Most of the knights of this era lived on glory, and it was an incomparable honor to defeat a famous knight through a duel, and the Knights of the Round Table obviously had the qualifications to be their opponents.
Coupled with the fact that the Knights of the Round Table are not very common among the people of the Knights of Fiona, it is almost certain that if Gareth says her real name, it is estimated that the challenge book will be filled with her armor the next day.
After reading the contents of the letter, the captain rolled up the parchment again and handed it back to Gareth.
"Your Excellency, Gared, hard work, although you came as an emissary on the orders of King Arthur, I have to warn you that Connaught has not been peaceful recently, so you better not have too much hope." With that, the captain looked at the caravan again. "Also, what's going on with this car?"
"Oh, they're merchants traveling with me, they're here to buy food, there's nothing behind, please come with me." With that, Gareth led the captain to the back of the car and opened the refrigerator to show the captain that there was nothing in it.
Although the captain was a little curious about why the inner walls of the car were made of iron, he did not ask questions, and after confirming that there was nothing suspicious, he returned to the front of the car with Gareth.
"And this one, please let us look at the face." The captain just wanted Lily with her head down and her hood covering her face.
The girl gently lifted her hood and showed her white face to the captain, and after confirming that it was not a suspicious person, the captain also nodded, and waved his hand to disperse the surrounding guards.
"No problem, it's getting late, I'll have someone take you to the hotel." As he spoke, the captain pointed out another guard and asked him to take the knight to the nearest inn to rest first.
"Thank you." Gareth bowed slightly to thank him, and the pointed guard had already mounted in front of the caravan.
After a ceremonial conversation, Larry piloted the caravan and followed the guards into the city.
The Guardian would look back at Ryry's controller from time to time, curiously, but still didn't ask anything.
There aren't many people walking in the city at night, the roads for caravans aren't wide, and the houses on both sides aren't very crowded, making Larry feel like he's in a labyrinth.
But even if there were rules like curfews, it wouldn't make everyone go home as soon as it got dark, right? There are no people walking on the streets today, except for the caravan that is slowly moving forward.
"Looks like something in trouble has happened to Connaught." Gareth whispered to Larry, who could still see the pupils that glowed green in the night through the gap in his helmet.
It's like a gem.
"For example, there are dangerous people infiltrating the city?" Larry speculated.
This is also the case, and the night curfew is more often set up only to catch suspicious people, and definitely not to restrict the movement of residents, so there is no point in that.
"Who knows." Gareth shook her head, she couldn't tell what was going on when she first arrived.
"Speaking of which, what was the exchange between Britain and Connaught? I don't think the janitor was surprised by the presence of a knight from Britain. "Although the two places are very close, the straits separated by each other have become the most troublesome point of communication.
"Of course, the queen of Connaught borrowed a knight from the king to hunt down [Courland's Hound], but unfortunately that guy was too flexible, and in the end no one could catch him."
"Hmm.... That's right. ”
Originally, people who were not in the same historical time gathered together, and naturally some things would happen that Larry didn't know, but in this way, Cú Chulainn seems to have completely turned into the image of a villain.
Although Gareth did not say it directly, it can still be deduced from the existing clues that Queen Maeve and the Knights of Fiona must have been extremely unfriendly towards Cúchulainn.
Smearing him as a thief should also make him difficult to act.
But with his hand-in-hand skills, it is estimated that he can seduce a wife by any person, anyway, he is good, and it is too naïve to want to catch him through the curfew.
And Larry was sure that the trouble the janitor was talking about was basically inseparable from Cúchulainn.
"Looks like there's something else we can do besides buying food."
Larry muttered to himself.
