"Next group." The breeze blew away the white clouds in the sky, and at the outer gate of the royal capital under the scorching sun, several soldiers were yawning boredly.

Since receiving the news that an attack on Her Majesty's birthday was being planned, the royal capital has gradually stepped up its vigilance, from passenger security at the airport, to travel restrictions in the Ebel's Palace and Circumference area, to martial law patrols outside the gates...... Some of the soldiers who had participated in the special training in the fortress for a long time even had the illusion that they were still on duty at the fortress of Reston.

But now after all, it is almost the hottest midsummer, the weather is gradually getting hotter, originally wearing a very thin shirt can barely maintain a comfortable climate, wearing not heavy, but still very tight armor, standing under the scorching sun, facing the almost impossible to pass at this time, empty gates, the soldiers can imagine the boredom can be imagined. All they wanted to do was get the boring and pointless job over and go back to the camp for a moment of rest.

They are not agents of the Ministry of Intelligence and will not strictly and loyally follow every order of Richard. To be able to do this to this extent, to maintain a serious attitude in the first few days of duty, is already very indicative of Richard's prestige in the military circles of this country. At least, the soldiers did not quietly complain at the beginning.

"Wow, look, there's someone over there." The words of one of the soldiers caused quite a wave, and in this case, being able to talk to someone who chose to pass through the main entrance for some reason was also a good way to relieve boredom.

Moreover, most of the people who chose to come to the royal city on foot were either residents of nearby villages, or warriors who traveled all over the country and even the whole continent to participate in the competitive competition. In front of the pair, it is obvious that it should be the former.

And then the figure that emerged seemed to prove it. Tall and slender, with a cloak all over his body, a tall and thin man who could not tell whether it was a man or a woman, and beside him was a man and a woman, two young men and girls who looked a little timid—probably frightened by this posture, the soldier thought to himself. Of course, ideas are ideas, and routine business still has to be done. He stood up solemnly and asked, "Who are you?" Where did you come from, and what are you doing in the royal capital at this time? ”

The corners of the mouth of the caped mouth of the "......" man in the shadow seemed to be squirming slightly, but the sound he made was small. In order to be able to hear clearly, the soldier patiently leaned closer, and only then did he vaguely hear clearly, "Come from the Chase area to visit relatives, right?" ”

"The Chase area is not close to the king's capital...... Even in the area closest to the royal capital, it takes about half a day to walk. The soldier was suspicious, "Did you come on foot?" ”

"Not exactly, we came by my uncle, who is doing business, ah, that is, my sister's father's freight truck, but the car broke down halfway through, so my uncle asked us to come to the royal capital first, and he arrived later." According to the statement prepared before, Heiliga was talking nonsense, anyway, according to his plan, if it was successfully implemented, he would soon be able to sneak into the royal city, and he would not give these soldiers a chance to check.

"That's right......" The soldier who believed this found another doubt, "then, why is this ......" looked at the almost flat figure wrapped in the cloak, and the soldier shook his head, "...... Ma'am, how can you wear such a thick cloak in this hot world? ”

"Skin ......" Yulia opened her mouth with difficulty, "There is a problem......

"Well, my sister had an infectious disease before, and although she was basically cured, she couldn't see the light. That's why it's just that. As she spoke, Heliga lifted the corner of her cloak, revealing Yulia's arm, which looked like little red spots everywhere, "Look. ”

“…… In that case, I can't untie my cloak to check, can I? The soldier smacked his lips, he didn't quite doubt this statement, although it was suspicious to wear a cloak, but what could be wrong with a thin woman with two teenage children? He nodded, "So, do you have any documents to prove this?" ”

"Yes." Yulia pointed to the satchel, and Feliso pulled out a letter from it, "This is the prescription given by the church before. , from Chase Cathedral. ”

“…… It seems to be true. Liber had a very good relationship with the Church, and even the soldiers occasionally chose to treat minor ailments in the Church, so he recognized at a glance that the emblem was indeed exclusive to the Church, and that the seal on the back that symbolized the hand of the rector was difficult to fake, "Then go ahead." Recently, the royal capital has not been very ...... Okay, but at least the martial arts tournament is not bad, and it should be in the knockout stage by now, right? If you can, you can take a look. ”

"Wait." Just as a few people were about to cross the martial law line, another soldier blocked their way, "Although the reason is reasonable, shouldn't a closer inspection be done in this case?" Turning to Yuria, "I'm sorry, we know you're not convenient, but could you please take off your hat briefly and let us compare it?" Even if it's only for a few seconds......"

"......" Yulia's heart froze. At this point, she was a little flustered, and although she could still stand, she was a little overwhelmed - after all, Heliga hadn't told her what to do in such a situation.

And the reason, she soon knew. "Mr. Soldier...... My sister's recovery period is now the most critical period, so there can't be a little mistake...... The sun is so strong...... You might as well take a look at this list of medicinal herbs written by the rector for the precious herb of Semlia moss! That's telling, isn't it? ”

“…… The little imp ...... "a somewhat irritated soldier snatched the certificate from the church that Heliga was brandishing. Taking advantage of the moment when his attention was drawn to the past, the Häliga technique that loosened the paper changed, and under the scorching sun, no one could see the purple smoke that suddenly rose.

“…… Not...... This one...... Semlia Moss...... This one...... Truly...... Sorry, it's me...... Neglected ......" The soldier, who suddenly became a little abnormal, obediently got out of the way and let a few people pass.

After walking about ten meters, Hailiga also heard the sound of two soldiers talking.

"I didn't see it, you still know pharmacy?"

"I ...... yes, I guess I know......"

"Probably ......?"

"Don't be noisy...... A little dizzy, let me be quiet for a while......"

"It's amazing." Yulia whispered, "How?" ”

"Played a little trick on him." Heiliga said lightly, "Let's go, because it's not officially used, and it will soon be invalid." ”

"The rectory's chapter ...... How did you disguise yourself? Yulia was very surprised by this, it was not that he had never seen the chapter used by the recess—it was very realistic.

"Because that's true." Fei said lightly, "Did you get it from the rectory?" ”

"Yes. That was the antidote formula given by the rector when Agaté was poisoned. Don't look at me like that, I used the recipe of three vitality potions to get it from him. It's a legitimate deal, not a steal. ”

"Vitality Elixir?" Yulia asked curiously.

"It's a long story." Heliga replied briefly, "Now is not the time to talk about this. When the matter is settled, if you are still interested, I will tell you. Look over there, is this what you're talking about hiding from? ”

In the direction that Helriga pointed, the Royal Capital Cathedral shone brightly.
