() In a wooded area forty kilometers southeast of the town of Kaloguer in the kingdom of Pole

What are we doing here, and Sophia asks Joyka, who is making a trap, shouldn't we get out of here while the men go to chase the horses?

What's the use of running now, Joeyka, who is busy with the work at hand, said without looking back, and when those people find out that they have caught up with an empty horse, they will know that they have been fooled, and they will definitely run back, and at that time we only have two feet, and it is impossible to outrun a four-legged horse

Joika's hand movements were very skillful as she spoke, and the trap was quickly set up

Are you trying to ambush them here, and Sophia watched the whole process of setting the trap as he set it

Anyway, find a way to get you out of Joica, tie the last knot, and then take Sophia's hand and hide in the grass, let's go here first, hide quietly, and they will be back soon

Sophia looked at him and nodded suspiciously

Sure enough, Joyka's judgment based on her experience and instincts after a few years as a bounty hunter was correct, and the sound of approaching horses' hooves could be heard in the distance where the unknown men had gone—apparently they had turned back as soon as they realized that they had been deceived

The men of unknown origin came to the same place where Sophia and Joyka had been and reined in the horse's reins

That's where the kid probably let the horses go, and one of them said

It seems that we are not meeting ordinary opponents, another person said

Judging by the footprints of the horse's hoof, he should have had a companion

It doesn't matter who he is, how many companions he has, anyway, he knows the whereabouts of Sophia, the former princess of the Madan Dynasty, then he must be caught

He can't outrun us with only two legs now

But how do we find it, there are many roads here

The leader looked around, and then gave the order: There are seven roads, and the one we have just chased will not look for you, and you will have to chase from this road, and you will go with you to this side...... The leader quickly divided himself and a dozen of his men into six groups and chased them down six roads

What do we do now, Sophia asked Joika

Let's go, Joey pulled Sophia's clothes and walked in the direction of the horse just now

Making sure that there were no pursuers following, the two walked leisurely on the path

I didn't expect your head to be quite agile, and Sophia praised

Joyka smiled: "It's not all

Then a scream came from behind them

What had happened, Sophia nervously turned her head to look behind her

Probably some hapless ghost triggered the trap I had set, and Joika said with a wicked grin

Will he die then Sophia asked

No, the trap only holds them back for a while

Have you been like this a lot before

Well, yes, like we as bounty hunters, we often have to go deep into heavily guarded places by ourselves to complete unimaginable tasks one after another, and there are few ways to get rid of the pursuers, can I still survive until now?

So Joika gushed about the thrilling adventures he had experienced, and Sophia listened with interest, occasionally asking a few questions, when Joika's depression from last night was swept away, and her heart was sweet, because he felt that he was closer to Sophia

As they went, they finally got down the path, and though they could not find the two horses that had been driven away, they met a coachman who was pulling firewood, and they hired the carriage to carry them both to the next city: Enso's return

At this time, it was already sunset, and walking in the streets of Ensoguiyi City, the city had already been lit up

Sophia wiped her sweat and ran wildly along the way, leaving her face covered with dust, however, this inadvertent action caused a stirring in the heart of the man next to her, and she really wanted to take a hot shower, apparently Sophia didn't notice Joyka's eyes, and she walked straight to a building on the street

Joyka looked up and saw that the building was a bathhouse, and it was obvious that Sophia had noticed it for a long time

Waiting, seeing that Sophia had already stepped into the bathhouse door with one foot, Joyka suddenly seemed to remember something, and he chased after him closely

Why did Sophia turn around and push him away, then raised her face and pointed to the sign of the bathhouse, and said angrily, Don't you see that this is a women's bathhouse, you have to take a bath, and go find a men's bathhouse by yourself

You misunderstood, Joyka hurriedly defended herself, and I wanted to ask you where we met

Well...... It's the most exclusive inn in the city, and whoever arrives first waits

After saying goodbye to Sophia, Joyka also found a men's bathhouse on the other side of the street, and walked in for half an hour, and after half an hour, Joyka walked out with a sense of relief, and then he asked passers-by about the destination of the most exclusive hotel in the city of Enso's return, and went straight to his destination

She didn't seem to be there yet, and in the lobby of the fancy hotel, Joyka couldn't see the familiar figure, and shook her head with a smile, girls, it must have been a long time to take a bath, because for for them, taking a bath was not just a matter of washing away the filth, but also a pleasant pleasure

So Joyka came to the counter: Boss, I want two single private rooms

There is no room, the boss looks up and down, Joika came in, this is the most exclusive hotel in the city, and the people who stay are either rich or expensive, like Joika, who is coarse and linen, does not look like a rich person, so he simply refused coldly

Joyka was very dissatisfied with the boss's look at people by clothes, he took out a few gold coins, and then opened them one by one, do you need a deposit on the refusal stage, Joyka said angrily

No...... No need for the boss, as soon as he saw the gold coin, his face that was still cold just now was immediately put away, and replaced with a seemingly enthusiastic face, as if there were really two single rooms left, I will ask someone to lead you

No, Joyka rolled her eyes, first cook me a few dishes, I'm dying of hunger, and then Joyka sat down at a table, waiting for Sophia's arrival

At this time, a familiar and unfamiliar voice came into Joyka's ears, this kid is likely to have come to this city, you remember to search quickly, don't leave a dead end

Joyka looked in the direction of the voice—the man who had had his head broken with a milk bottle in the morning, and behind him were several unidentified men who had chased him on horseback during the day

You--the other party saw Joika sitting in the lobby at the same time

Before the other could react, Joyka had already kicked the table in front of him, causing it to fly towards the man

Bang, the table was split in half by a sword, and the wooden splice was splashed, and the man was holding a one-handed long sword, and his overcoat was gone, and what caught Joyka's eye was a set of knight's armor, on the left chest of the armor was carved a male lion's head, and in the lion's mouth he was biting a knight's sword

You're -- Joyka of the Lion Mercenary Group recognized the sign and couldn't help but cry out in her heart, she really didn't understand how she got into such a big trouble
