Act109 The arrival of the princess
When Gross finished speaking, the two pairs of brown eyes that belonged to the same mountain people faced each other, and he noticed that the eyes of the mountain people girl on the side seemed to be shining with an unusually bright light—
Peace and kindness.
There were no words, but Gross felt support and trust in them.
"Mr. Gross, you should probably stay here and rest for the night."
The mountain girl gave her own advice. At present, the streets and alleys outside are blocked by the "gray uniforms" of the city guards, and it is obviously not an appropriate move to leave rashly-
In her opinion, Gross defeated the gang of thugs of the "Dragon's Eye Brotherhood" and rescued Miss Eve, which should not have been met like this-
For example, the young master Sidney Collins, who abused the power in his hands, and even disregarded basic morality and right and wrong, whenever she thought of these things, Vera always felt that those nobles who were richly dressed and behaved elegantly were so hypocritical and hateful.
Even though she is still a sixteen-year-old girl at the moment, to a certain extent, she is almost equal to the "angry youth" that Gross knew in her previous life, and perhaps it is this kind of injustice that can support her to go further and climb higher on the road in the future.
"I approve of Miss Vera's proposal."
Oliver nodded hurriedly. Immediately after, he looked at Gross, the leader of the bandits, and the eyes of the others also turned in the same direction-
Fingers ran across his furry cheeks, and after a moment of deep thought, Gross quickly agreed.
Indeed, there is no better way for them to do it at the moment.
"Tomorrow morning I will leave Karthus, and if you wish, you can take a carriage with you."
Vera looked at the crowd, and she added, "Until then, Miss Eve, if you're going to go home, now or at night. ”
However, Eve didn't nod her head immediately, there still seemed to be a trace of fear on her fair little face, and she suddenly became a little worried and scared at the thought of leaving this grocery store not far from the "Black Dragon's Eye".
"Eve, don't you want to?"
Although the two girls are of the same age, Vera is more like a real adult than her demeanor at this time - she is not arrogant and arrogant, but every word she says always makes people can't help but believe and obey.
Gross became more and more sure that it was possible:
Miss Vera in front of her is the "Bloodbringing Rose" of the Elantra Northlands in the future, the undefeated Knight Ji.
"I'll go home with her until it gets dark in the evening."
Gross said. At this time, he finally remembered a key problem in completing the mission - only by returning Eve to the merchant Ignati Woods with his own hands could he get the reward of the mission.
That is, the sacred enchanted scroll of great significance, and a considerable amount of experience points.
This was his original intention for the mission, although he hid these unknown little Jiujiu in his heart, he didn't feel that he should have any guilt-
The player in the game is always chasing for profit, and it is not a mistake for him to do this task while doing a good deed.
There is no difference in nature between unintentional good deeds and purposeful good deeds.
"But, sir, are you going to go out through the door like this?" Levin felt that the sudden idea of the bandit leader was too bold.
"Of course, no—"
……
The sound of horses' hooves echoed through the lush valley.
When Princess Samantha and Fred Wolf crossed the mountains of Nogo and arrived at the plains of the Little Plains, where the city of Kartas is located, it was November 17, more than two days later than planned.
Because judging from the gradually darkening sky, the time is almost at night.
The woodlands and wilderness in the wilderness were quiet, and it wasn't until this team of 100 people approached the wide trade road that the figures became more and more numerous—
The merchants who were driving on the road in the carriage could not help but tremble when they saw the great momentum of this cavalry procession, but the pack horses pulling the cart could not outrun the fine war horses under the cavalry, and they had to watch as these heavily armed cavalry came to their side one by one.
"Hey-Mr. Merchant, is there a road to Karthas ahead?"
A standard four-wheeled carriage carrying goods stopped in front of the cavalrymen, and a young man who looked like an officer or something with a slender whip in his hand called out to the bewildered merchant and asked.
The dirty, dusty face of a flower kept a smile on his face, and he tried to maintain a polite attitude.
It's a pity that the whole team tossed in the mountains and forests for the first few days, and they couldn't see their previous image at all - maybe there was still the law of a soldier between their demeanor, but just from the appearance of it, they looked like bandits.
Large groups of bandits appeared on a large scale, and they were all on horses.
One merchant after another was so heartbroken that he almost fell to his knees and begged for mercy—when suddenly the young man spoke, and his friendly attitude surprised the merchant to get up from the dirt on which he had fallen, and he began to look at it.
Some businessmen and their coachmen were watching.
The gaze ranged from hesitation, trepidation, and horror.
"Y-you?"
"Ha, Mr. Merchant, don't get me wrong. We're not bad guys, my companions and I are both Rangers of the Northland Legion. ”
"Rangers?"
"That's right, the rangers from Talen."
After speaking, the young man also took out a palm-sized waist card. It is engraved with the twin sword insignia of the Northland Legion, as well as his military number.
The businessman knows words.
At last he let go of his apprehensive and uneasy heart, and while wondering what had happened to these cavalrymen to get to this dirty appearance, he coughed twice and replied:
"Continue along this trade route, about thirty miles away, and you will reach Karthas."
The direction he is pointing out comes from behind him.
"So, you're leaving Karthas today?"
"Yes, sir."
……
Hundreds of cavalry galloped along the trade route, which soon became a unique scenery, and the merchants and travelers who passed along the way could not help but look sideways, and when they looked at the origin of these cavalry, their hearts quickly became curious.
Thanks to the young officer's reminder, Fred remembered the raising of the flag—
It is said to be a flag, but at this time it is not much better than a rag, and the insignia of the Wolf family on it has long been stained gray by dust, and when this flag is barely raised, the people who look at it can't help but laugh.
Fred didn't laugh, he couldn't.
The trip to Karthas, who accompanied Princess Samantha, was far from what he expected-
Several of the mountain passes that had to be passed through were temporarily blocked, and it took them a lot of extra effort to reopen the way, and as the road went on, he felt more and more satisfied with the obstruction of some of the people Samantha had mentioned.
Perhaps, it's not just that.
