Chapter 67: A sense of disobedience

After nightfall, Julius lit a bonfire that illuminated the surroundings of the Wonders. They looked like they were still in the wilderness, but in fact they were already in the city of Nicaea, and they weren't the only ones in the darkness. When the bonfire was lit, Julius also noticed that there were fires in other parts of the lakeshore, as if it were a tacit understanding, and in the darkness of the night, many places were lit up as if the ground was covered with stars.

Looking at the light, Julius would guess which would be the inn for the lodgings, and then miss the warm quilt and the soft mattresses—at least something softer than the floor and the carriage. In winter, the nights get colder, and there is a cold wind blowing with moisture on the other side of the lake. If it weren't for the warm campfire, Julius would have felt like he was in a bad mood. At least the bare minimum was ready, and with Romeona just across from him, he didn't want her to see his unseemly side.

The two had settled their dinner and were now sitting facing each other, silence lingering between them.

Julius didn't know what to say, so he simply told him about the strange thing he had happened to earlier in the day, "Remember the two carriages that passed in front of us in the afternoon?"

Nicaea was a bustling city, and there were no less carriages passing in front of them, but Romeona knew exactly what Julius was referring to. Only strange things deserve to be talked about. "Those two carriages, right?"

Julius nodded.

"Indeed, it feels strange. Romeona said, her eyes fixed on the campfire, her eyes slightly squinted, as if she were very tired and despairing, "A conspicuous person walking on the road may only attract a momentary gaze, and it will not be too strange." But if it's a bunch of conspicuous people walking together, this feeling will be magnified a hundredfold...... It's like a circus, it's fun. ”

Julius already knew what a circus was when he was in the village, because it had passed by them. At King's Castle, he even got to see how the circus performed, because the tickets were not expensive. "You think it's weird, right? ”

"What do you think is strange?" said Romeona, after a moment's thought. This confused Julius a little, but after a moment of thought, he replied, "Everyone is strange?"

Romeona stretched out her fingers and nodded one by one, "Two knights dressed casually, listless mercenaries following the carriage, a coachman who was so thin that he looked like he had only bones left, a woman in a white robe, and a man who stayed in the carriage and looked very obese...... At least if you look at the face, it does look like a ball. ”

"You've been looking so closely. Julius sighed. Romeona just shook her head, not complacent, "It's not that I'm too observant, it's that they're too conspicuous...... In any case, mages and warriors are mixed together, and each one seems to have the strength of the silver class, and such people are conspicuous no matter where they are. ”

Julius rubbed his eyes with a relieved expression on his face, "I see...... That's why they look weird. I just feel that there is something very incongruous and incongruous, but I don't see that it is all ...... Warriors and mages?" Julius felt more and more strange as he said this, "Is that an adventure party? But is there anything worth risking in this place?"

"It's not just the adventurers who go to the ruins, dungeons, or labyrinths to get treasures. "There are also people who make a living by hunting magical beasts. Although Romeona said so, she had other thoughts in her heart. It's just strangers, strangers who have nothing to do with them, who don't seem to be important, but if you have careful observation and some knowledge that you can use, then you can see things that others can't see—things that Julius can't see.

Romeona had good eyes, and she had knowledge that matched them, and that was the knowledge she had gained from her education as a nobleman, or from the days she spent in the church on the Cape. Those people were cautious, and there was nothing on them that would indicate a special identity, so they looked like ordinary travelers or adventurers, but in that momentary contact, Luo Miona saw more than anyone else could see.

The face flashed in the carriage, allowing her to judge that it was a fat man in the carriage. And the woman's white robe did not have any strange patterns or patterns, just a robe - but she saw a pendant hanging from the woman's neck, although it was hidden in the robe, but the pattern of the chain made her think that it was undoubtedly a cross. The coachman was thin, but his hands were unusually large, and they were protruding, not just a pair of hard-working hands, but a pair of hands used to hold weapons.

There are so many strange places. At that time, Romeona happened to have the leisure to pay attention to everything around her, and Julius's mind seemed to be sucked away by the lake, which is why he only had strange feelings, and did not have such careful observation as Romeona. In terms of eyes, the two were similar, except that Romeona was better, and had the knowledge to get more information from observations, which Julius definitely did not have.

What struck Romeo the strangest thing was not that the people were formed like a circus, but that they were hiding themselves. No matter how you look at it, those people are deliberately hiding their identities and strength. It doesn't look like a circus or an adventure party, and the traveler doesn't want to be very deliberate.

It was only a stranger who had only one side to meet, but there was always something in Romeona's mind that she didn't understand. There are so many things that are unreasonable, so much that it is impossible not to care.

It's just that someone is messing with her thoughts. Something swam over from the other side of the lake, out of the water, and came to them. They both put their hands on the swords that were placed beside them, but both sighed as the firelight illuminated the man.

"Can you stop being so scary next time?" said Julius to the dark shadow as she approached. It was a shadow with several tentacles on it, and those tentacles were about to move...... If it weren't for the light of the campfire, Lulunaka's aquatic plants would indeed scare many people.

Lulunaka returned, and with a body full of aquatic plants, her soaked body dripping water, wetting the ground beneath her feet. She even wore aquatic plants on her head, and she looked like she was wearing a big turban. "Good evening, both. I'd be happy if I could have something to eat after work. ”
