Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Passionate Knight Captain
"You're Miss Gianna's retinue?" The knight at the head immediately showed a look of surprise, but he didn't let the knights around him disperse, obviously not believing Song Zheng's words very much.
"Yes, if you don't believe me, you can take a look at this, this is a token that Miss Gianna gave me." Song Zheng hurriedly handed over the ring.
"What kind of ring is this?" After the knight took the ring, his expression was a little embarrassed, and it was estimated that he could not recognize the origin of the ring.
"Just look at the name engraved on the ring......"
"It's engraved with ...... Alsace...... This is the seal of His Royal Highness the Prince?! The knight at the head finally showed a look of astonishment after carefully reading the words on the ring, and even the horses under him couldn't help but take a step back.
"No, it's just a token that His Royal Highness gave to our young lady before." Song Zheng continued to flicker, this knight of the world of Azeroth was obviously quite honest, and he didn't consider the existence of a liar at all.
"Oh...... That's our offense, I'm Karen, the Knight Captain of Tarun Mill, and we're also ordered to patrol the surroundings, and if there was a collision just now, I hope you'll forgive me. The knight captain sneered, and hurriedly waved his hand to signal the knights around him to disperse.
"It's okay, it's okay, you're also responsible, Miss Gianna has been saying that the security around Tarummere is very good." Song Zheng smiled and stretched out his hand slightly.
The knight captain named Karen immediately returned the ring to Song Zheng very respectfully.
Song Zheng took the ring and hurriedly left with Sal.
"What's going on? What kind of magic experiment did you just say? Away from the knights, Thrall asked in a low voice of confusion.
"That's a lie, don't talk too much, just pretend to be my slave, and when we get to no one, we'll hide back in the mountains." Song Zheng hurriedly explained.
"Oh......"
The two began to speed up their pace, but what made Song Zheng speechless was that the sound of horses' hooves soon sounded behind him.
"I almost forgot, the syndicate thieves here have been a bit frequent lately, they like to sneak up on lone pedestrians, and you two are easy targets for them, so it's better for us to escort you to chase Miss Gianna and their convoy." The knight captain named Karen said very courteously.
"Ah...... This...... That's embarrassing, we'll just go ourselves. Song Zheng only felt the corners of his eyes jump, this knight captain was a little too enthusiastic, and listening to the meaning of his words, Gianna should have left Talenmere.
"What's so embarrassing about that, that's our duty, Miss Gianna, they should have just left, and we'll be able to catch up soon." Karen was still very enthusiastic, and even let her subordinates vacate their war horses for Song Zheng to ride.
Song Zheng couldn't help but be speechless, it seems that the power represented by that ring is far greater than he expected!
However, once you meet Gianna, it will not only be a matter of goofs, but even the fact that she stole the ring will be immediately exposed.
"I still don't need to trouble you, your patrols are already hard......" Song Zheng tried to refuse.
"No, no, it's not hard at all, Miss Gianna's safety is the most important thing, if you are in danger, then how can we explain it to Miss Gianna, so we will definitely escort you safely to catch up with the team ahead." Karen was extremely enthusiastic, insisting on escorting Song Zheng and the two over, and even deliberately escorted the two in the middle of the knight team.
Song Zheng was completely speechless, and kept greeting the ancestor of the knight captain in his heart, but he had to express his gratitude with a smile on his face.
Since they were all riding horses, they were very fast, but it didn't take long for them to catch up with Gianna's team.
It was a rather large team, with more than a dozen elaborate carriages, and a large number of knights guarding them, and the banners of Dalaran, Kurtiras, and Lordaeron fluttering in the ranks at the same time, and this momentum alone would have dared no one to provoke.
And the horse-drawn carriage that followed behind the consignment of goods stretched for thousands of kilometers.
These carriages loaded with goods were all merchants, and these extremely shrewd merchants naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity to accompany them, as long as they waited for Gianna's team, they would definitely be very safe along the way.
However, looking at the scale and momentum of this team, Song Zheng became more and more uneasy in his heart.
Before he could get closer, Song Zheng hurriedly bid farewell to Karen, who had been guarding beside him, so as not to contact the real Gianna's entourage.
Karen didn't insist on continuing the escort, but she still chatted with Song Zheng enthusiastically.
"It is an honor for us to have Miss Gianna here, on behalf of the mayor of the town, I very much welcome Miss Gianna to come again next time, and I also very much welcome Mr. Song Zheng to come again, next time I will definitely entertain Mr. Song Zheng in the best tavern in the city, and please Mr. Song Zheng not refuse when the time comes."
"Definitely not, I will not refuse, next time I arrive in Talenmere, I must find Captain Karen for a drink as soon as possible, the time is not early, thank you captain for escorting you all the way, captain or please go back." Song Zheng smiled, but he was already anxious in his heart.
"Well, I live on Garden Road along the river, and if Mr. Song Zheng arrives in Talenmere, he can go directly to Garden Road to find me......" Karen was still overwhelmed with enthusiasm.
Seeing that he had arrived in Gianna's team, Song Zheng couldn't help but secretly complain, and after repeated resignations, the knight captain led his knights to leave, and he still kept turning his head and waving to Song Zheng when he left.
This made Song Zheng immediately become the focus of many people, especially when he was accompanied by a burly orc, which was particularly eye-catching.
"What now?" Sal was also aware of the complicated gazes around him, so he could only ask Song Zheng in a low voice.
"There's no way, I can only follow this team for a while, they should go to Nanhai Town, at least two or three days away, and when no one pays attention at night, we will sneak away, don't worry, listen to me, we can directly enter the Alterac Mountains in the west at that time." Song Zheng also has a headache at the moment, but it is definitely not okay to run away with Sal in front of everyone.
……
At this moment, in front of this team, on a luxurious four-wheeled carriage, a middle-aged nobleman in military uniform was looking at Song Zheng through the window.
"The captain of that team of knights just now seems to be Karen of Talummere, and he personally sent two people to join our team?" The middle-aged nobleman stretched out his hand and beckoned a knight beside the carriage and asked.
"Yes, I guess we want to use our team to let these two go to Nanhai Town, and those merchants behind are all thinking like this." The young knight laughed.
"Karen's father is a viscount, he also has some real power in his own hands, and he has always been more arrogant, but looking at his appearance just now, he seems to be very respectful, and the person who can make him have such an attitude is probably not low, you immediately send a team of knights over to protect the two of them, this way to Nanhai Town is said to be rampant with thieves, remember to let your knights always be close to protection, don't let them fall behind, so as not to be attacked by wicked people and beasts." The middle-aged aristocrat kindly advised.
