Chapter 6: A Peaceful Journey

In the snow, a girl dressed in black was engrossed in practicing the "Bright World", her golden hair dancing slightly. The strong wind from the black parasol swept up the residual snow on the ground.

The girl's face is not very beautiful, but it has a detached and heroic temperament. Dimi watched from afar, and he was a little distracted.

"Yo," the girl turned her head at the sound of Dimi's footsteps, "Dimi." Good morning. ”

"Good morning," Dimi said, quickly back to normal, "Victoria. ”

"What's wrong?" The girl said, feeling that Dimi's expression was a little strange, "Is there anything on my face?" Or do you think I shouldn't have gotten up so early? ”

"No," Dimi smiled and shook his head, "I just admire." You're already the master of the 'Bright World', and you're really working hard. ”

The girl put the "Bright World" into the dimensional bag and stretched briskly. The little Wei in her head was still asleep.

"Do you have a habit of eating breakfast?" She asked calmly, "I'm hungry." ”

"Of course." Dimi replied.

Both of them had some emergency marching rations in their dimensional bags, including bread and jerky. The two searched the bandit camp for another half day, and found some fresh peas, apples, and smoked fish. With steaming boiled peas (all cooked by Dimi), the breakfast seemed quite plentiful.

"Satisfied." After breakfast, the girl patted her stomach with satisfaction.

Dimi smiled wryly. The Baroness Victoria was not ladylike, but made him feel very kind.

"You're going to the Imperial Capital too," Dimi asked, "are you going together?" ”

"I'm going to fly over with Xiaowei in a relay of two," said the girl, "can you fly for eight hours today?" My Flame Wings only last for two hours, but Vivi's flying skills can last for a full six hours. Take two breaks in between, and you'll be able to fly there tonight. ”

It took Dimi five seconds to remember what the girl had told him yesterday that "Xiaowei" was her name for "her other personality".

"No," Dimi replied, "I can fly at full speed for six hours a day with the Frost Wings I have formed through Elemental Mastery, but they are not as fast as your Flaming Wings. If you take off from here, you can probably only hold on to the outskirts of the imperial capital. ”

"Then I'll ......"

The girl was going to say, "Go first", but she thought about it, even if she flew with all her might, it might be late at night before she could see the walls of the imperial capital. Bring an extra Dimi, and at most it will be delayed until tomorrow morning. The long flight is extremely boring, and on the way, I get some information about the empire from Dimi's mouth, but I don't lose money.

"Let's go together." The girl changed her words.

……

After the snow, the weather was clear, and the girl and Dimi flew to a halt and soon entered the heart of the empire.

Occasionally, the girl would ask Dimi a few questions about the geography of the empire, and Dimi would naturally answer them all. It's just that the girl's question is sometimes too weird, and Dimi can barely answer the question of "what is the name of that mountain in the distance", but he can't tell its altitude.

It's extremely difficult to chat in mid-air, and sometimes you can't even hear what the other person is saying. Xiaowei cast a spell, and the high-speed flying girl and Dimi were able to communicate normally.

……

Sunset. At this time, the topic of the girl and Dimi turned to the book classification of the girl.

"Let's land here." Suddenly, the girl proposed.

"This is the Manor of the Marquis of Engor in the vicinity," said Dimi, and he wanted to hear the girl speak a little more about the essence of her new book classification, and the idea of representing any book with a string of numbers was very fresh to him, but since the girl had offered to rest, he said nothing, "We can land in the no-man's land near there." ”

"Okay." The girl promised that she didn't want to be watched in a densely populated area.

"I remember that the prime minister of the imperial capital is surnamed 'Engor'." Vicky makes a sound through the Phantom Ring.

"The Prime Minister is a side of the Engor family, and he rarely returns to this manor," Dimi said, "The affairs of the Engor family are in charge of the old patriarch, Marquis Gunther Engor. He was an upright, kind old man......"

The young prince suddenly stopped. Ordinary people are just down. The Marquis Gunther Ngor knew himself, and he brought a girl to visit him openly......

“…… It's just a little stubborn," Dimi changed his words, but there was a little loss in his heart, "Fortunately, we don't need to bother him." There is an inn next to the manor, go there. ”

"Okay." The girl nodded.

……

A hundred years ago, when the Imperial Royals asked the Engor family for their last county, the loyal Engel family did not hesitate to agree. In recognition of the loyalty of the Engel family, the Engor family was crowned marquis, the head of the court nobility. Their estate stood on the northern outskirts of the imperial capital, but the royal family did not collect any taxes.

It is said that the royal family still hides secrets in this manor.

The patriarch of the Ngol family, Gunther Ngol had three sons, four daughters, all of whom were married. The eldest son of the old marquis, Gunther N'Gore the Younger, was a young man and a shrewd man, and an excellent candidate to inherit the family. The fly in the ointment is that little Gunther's wife only bore him two daughters, but no sons. However, both Friedrich Engor, the chancellor of the empire, and the old marquis himself supported the succession of the younger Gunther, much to the disappointment of the other two sons of the old marquis.

Little Gunther's two daughters, Margaret and Angel, are both in their prime. There is no shortage of their suitors in the imperial capital, but the sisters have not yet made a decision. The youngest daughter, Angel, in particular, spends her days in her grandfather's study and is not interested in anything else. In recent times, Angel has occasionally appeared in the Imperial Capital Cultural Salon. It is said that she tried to convince her grandfather and father to invest in the book taxonomy invented by a baroness in the north, but when she received no response, she turned her mind to other court nobles in the imperial capital.

To everyone's bewilderment, there was no news of the baroness who invented the new book classification. Except that she was "a distant relative of the great Duke Haywell", the nobles of the imperial capital did not even get information about this person.

……

Today is December 8, the year 998 of the new lunar calendar on the clouds. In order to create a sense of tension of "change" in the original work, the girl set the year at the turn of the millennium. Compared to the lavish manor mansion, this small inn is simple, but the girl and Dimi can hear the noise from a long distance. A separate area was carved out next to the inn, full of carts carrying goods, where several male and female guards stood guard.

"Huh. What is the peak tourist season? The girl complained.

"Soon it will be the New Year," said Dimi, whose words sounded strange, but he could understand what the girl meant, "There are many people returning to the imperial capital from other provinces." There are also many businessmen who want to make a fortune during the New Year's celebrations. ”
