The sun is setting in the west, the midday clouds have long since dissipated, the western sky is dyed a translucent orange-red, and in the distance unknown birds chirp with joy as they arrive home. On the slopes of the western foothills of Helga Mountain, large birch forests play the music of brushing in the evening breeze.

On the lonely and cold official road, the lonely carriage was pulled out of a long shadow.

Zina sat impatiently in the carriage and boredly clutched a dog's tail grass. As the lady-in-waiting of Her Royal Highness the Princess, it stands to reason that such an image of her is completely unthinkable. But Zina's identity is special, her surname is strange, and she is away from home at this time, and there is no one else except the gentle and kind one in the carriage, so it is okay for the maid to consciously behave presumptuously.

"Princess, if you wait any longer, it will be dark."

"Then we'll be ready for the night." The princess said softly.

"You're really not going to give me another chance?" Xena complained: "This time I'm sure I'll find the big pudding......"

Before she could finish her words, her voice suddenly stopped.

The man in the carriage asked curiously, "What's the matter, Xena?" ”

The maid's gaze looked into the distance, and the winding official road spread out of the canyon, where a thin figure was walking step by step.

Zina was overjoyed: "Princess, someone is coming." ”

The footsteps of the man were very fast, and he walked to the carriage in just two or three minutes, and the maid's delightful eyes suddenly turned into disappointment, and she glanced at the plainly dressed young man with disdain, and turned back to the people in the carriage and said, "It's a pity that it's a child." ”

Duran, who deliberately pretended not to dare to look at the carriage, almost fell to the ground without a stumble.

What do you mean it's a pity to be a child?!

Although this body is a little slower to develop due to malnutrition, it is still fifteen or sixteen years old, right? Although his height alone pales in comparison to the big guys like rock golems, ogres, or evil spirits, at least Duran is about the same height as the maid in the carriage.

"You look like you're less than twenty, don't you? Actually have the face to say I'm a child? Duran complained in his heart, and suddenly his head was a little big, what if they didn't ask him for directions because they looked younger? Do you have to find another way to get this carriage away?

He subconsciously slowed down.

Fortunately, a soft voice came from the carriage at this time: "The child can also ask, maybe he knows the direction of the Great Pudding City." ”

The maid seemed to be more squeamish than the princess: "I don't want to ask a child for directions!" If you let others know, it will be shameless. ”

Duran, who slowed down, had already burst into tears in his heart, how could there be such a strange maid in this world?

"Okay, then I'll ask."

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the princess came out of it, and she got out of the carriage and called out to Duran:

"Wait, sir!"

Duran let out a sigh of relief, and all the words flashed through his mind for a moment, and then he turned away calmly.

In the next second, Duran suddenly felt that his eyes were a little sore.

If the protagonists in the dog-blood TV series always like to put their eyes in the wind and blow into the sand, then the current Duran clearly feels that a strong sulfuric acid is pouring into his eyes.

A heart was pounding, his mind was blank, and Duran was stunned.

The purple floral dress lay fluffy on the ground, a small and delicate crescent pendant hung from her white neck, her long golden hair curled slightly naturally, and the pale green hairpin gathered it, and on her delicate face, a pair of pearl-like eyes were as smooth as jade.

With a kind smile on the corner of her mouth, she gives people a particularly clean and comfortable feeling.

"She's the daughter of Grand Duke Goldfinch?"

Duran subconsciously looked away, but the accelerating heartbeat reminded him that the woman in front of him was so beautiful and moving - Duran had not never seen a beautiful girl, in all fairness, Chloe was beautiful enough to be first-class, and the headless girl Anna was also pure and lovely when she was normal, but they did not give Duran such a thrilling feeling.

The reason is also very simple, as an Oriental, Duran's own aesthetic in his soul also inherits the aesthetic concept of the East. Chloe and Anna are both images of Western beauties, and although Duran thinks she is also very good-looking, she will not feel excited.

However, this girl is very different.

Her beauty is from the inside out, and she exudes a unique temperament that Duran doesn't even dare to look at her again.

At this moment, a cool air flow suddenly came from the bellflower badge he was wearing on his chest.

The air rushed into Duran's mind, calming his heartbeat, and the feeling of his heart pounding was gradually suppressed.

Duran's heart moved, in addition to the strong basic surname attached to this bellflower badge, the most important effect of this bellflower badge is to be immune to fear spells below the three rings, that is, to enhance the will of the wearer, and the resistance to spiritual spells is extremely high.

"I had this strange feeling just now, could it be that this girl used a charm spirit spell on me?" Duran was a little puzzled in his heart, the girl in front of him was indeed very beautiful, but it was impossible to make herself dizzy as soon as she came up, right?

The only strange thing is that if the other party used a charm spell, Duran's high perception actually didn't feel the slightest trace of the spell. And the other party is also a princess, so there is no need to cast a charm spell on a passerby like herself, right?

Duran was full of doubts, but since he came to his senses, he didn't dare to look at the girl's charming face anymore, his head hung low, and he tried to pretend to be frightened: "Two, two young ladies, may I ask what is the matter?" ”

The maid in the carriage snorted in surprise, as if she thought it was a little strange.

The blonde girl smiled and said, "Hello sir, my name is Jane. Lancelot. ”

Her voice is soft and reserved, very polite, quite aristocratic, even when talking to someone who is much lower than herself, she can give people a feeling of spring breeze.

Duran still didn't dare to raise his head, according to today's secular concepts, these two people were obviously descendants of dragon-blooded nobles, and their status was extremely high. I am just a civilian, and the attitude of sincere fear when encountering them is the norm:

"Dear Miss Lancelot, hello, I, my name is Duran."

But he was thinking in his heart: Lancelot, sure enough, is the surname of the Grand Duke of Goldfinch.

Jane chuckled and said, "Just call me Jane." ”

Duran answered honestly: "Miss Jane, I don't know what to order?" ”

"Mr. Duran, do you know the direction of Grand Pudding City?"

Duran was overjoyed, and finally got to the point, he couldn't wait to send the two women away immediately, so he immediately said, "Big Pudding City? That's the direction, just follow the official road. ”

There are only two directions on the official road here, one is to Baisha Town, and the other is to Big Pudding City, Duran is naturally very familiar with it, and directly pointed out the direction to them.

"Okay, thank you." Jane's voice was like a heavenly sound, she turned to Zina, and said, "The Great Pudding City is over there, let's hurry up, my brother and they are probably waiting for us at the Earl of Lyle's palace for a long time." ”

The maid didn't buy it, she looked at Duran in disbelief: "Hey, boy, are you sure that is the direction of Big Pudding City?" ”

Duran hated his teeth and nodded respectfully on the surface.

Zina sneered and said, "You look like you're only fifteen or sixteen years old, how can you know the specific location of the Great Pudding City?" Have you ever been to Grand Pudding City? Also, where are you going to be here now? ”

Duran was just about to say something, but who knew that at this time, a beast-like roar suddenly erupted in the dense forest at the western foot of Helga Mountain.

Seven or eight tall figures strode out of the dense forest, led by a strong ogre who was nearly thirteen feet tall!

"I'll go, what's going on!?" Duran was dumbfounded.

Among the ogres, the one who ran in second place was actually a light gray-skinned iron skin.

"Princess, beware, these are ogres! Their goal is us. Zina's face changed, and she hurriedly drew her long sword, as if facing a great enemy.

Although there are not many of these ogres, they all have silver-level strength except for the iron sheet, and the bald Bell led by him has a level 29 close to the gold level. Duran's visual inspection swept over it, and he knew that although Xena had the power of the golden rank, in the face of these ogres, she would definitely have no problem surviving by herself, but she might not be able to protect Jane, who was a princess.

The ogres were tall and long, and almost in the blink of an eye, they roared and rushed onto the official road.

Bald Bell carried a huge bronze mace in his hand, worthy of his nickname, and he only had a few sparse hairs hanging from his head, which looked ridiculous. But in this situation, none of the three people next to the carriage could laugh. The ogres quickly surrounded the carriage, and the ugly-looking monsters let out a disgusting laugh, and the iron sheets mingled in their midst, and every now and then let out a few embarrassed dry laughs.

"Princess, you hide in the carriage first, these ogres, let me deal with them."

Xena's face flushed with anger, although since the twelve dragons went to explore the chaos, the prestige of the royal family of the dragon empire Ruha has decreased a lot. But on the surface, it still maintains a harsh and powerful rule, and robbing the carriages of the nobles of the empire on the official road is almost unprecedented.

Jane, who looked weak, showed a worried look: "Xena, you are ...... alone"

"Lend me a sword."

At this moment, such a voice suddenly appeared next to Xena and Jane.

"Huh?" Xena was a little surprised, in her eyes, Duran was so thin and small, and he couldn't talk about any combat power at all. At this time, this guy actually borrowed a sword from her? Does he want to be involved in the battle with the ogre?

Duran grimaced, and though he didn't know why the plan had changed, the facts weren't going to change for now—the ogres were going to rob the carriage, and he couldn't stay out of it.

As for the iron sheet...... Hmph, I must settle this account with him afterwards.

"Give!" For some reason, this time the brutal maid did not embarrass Duran.

An ordinary steel longsword was thrown over, and Duran grabbed it and rushed directly into the ogre array.

"Hey, boy, don't look for death!" Xena was startled, she originally thought that Duran borrowed a sword from her just to defend herself, but she didn't expect this kid to have such cramps and kill a group of ogres alone.

Who does he think he is? A famous swordsman at a young age? Even a gold-level master wouldn't dare to be so rash and reckless, right?

Zina bit her lip, but finally stood guard next to the carriage - her duty was to protect Her Highness, and as for this stupid boy, she had to let him die.
