Chapter 80: Prologue to the Turmoil (13)
"Don't move, your wounds haven't healed yet." Louie hurriedly stepped forward to help her.
"Your Highness, I'm really useless, I haven't been able to protect Your Highness, and I haven't been able to take care of Your Highness in the last few days."
"I can't say that, if it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't be here right now." Louis sat on the edge of the bed, suddenly remembered something, and instructed: "Suo Liuxiang, remember, if anyone asks about the events of that night, don't mention that I repelled them, you must be sure that you risked your life to protect and repel the killer." ”
"But...... Why? Suoliuxiang also has a lot of questions in her heart, she was transferred to Louis by General Sharhan, so she knows a lot about Louis's details, and she should not know magic, military politics and dragons.
However, that night, she clearly witnessed how Louis used gorgeous tricks to defeat two powerful opponents that even she could not shake.
And with Solushan's sensitive perceptual magic, she could be sure that all that Louis had cast that night was a high-level magic realm that she couldn't touch.
"Your Highness, the magic you performed that night ......"
Suo Liuxiang was interrupted by Louis before he could finish asking, "Suo Liuxiang, forgive me for not being able to tell you the details of this matter for the time being, just treat it as a secret between the two of us, don't mention it to others, okay?" ”
"Is there a secret between me and His Highness?" Suroxiang muttered.
Louis comforted Suoliuxiang for a long time, waited for her to fall asleep, and quietly left.
I never thought that Louis had just come out and met the fourth prince, Tomafa.
"Brother Wang!" Tomafa greeted him with a smile on his face, as if there was something happy about it.
Louis bowed his hand, "Congratulations to the fourth brother, who is now the crown prince." ”
"Haha, Brother Wang, I am also lucky, if I can become a great treasure in the future, I hope that Brother Wang will help me." Tom Mafa is still hearty in the past, and in the eyes of outsiders, he is a straight man without scheming.
"That's natural, and I hope that Brother Wang will take care of it at that time. I don't know where Brother Wang is going? Although Crowley had made Thomas the crown prince, Louis did not give up his position on the throne.
Tom Mafa bluntly said that during these days, he followed the auxiliary minister Mino to learn government affairs, and for him, if he didn't have fun and was accompanied by women, he would sooner or later die of depression. It just so happened that he found an opportunity, and five days later it was the crown prince's canonization ceremony, and the sacrifice was needed, and Tomafa was allowed to go to the Druid Mountains to hunt and find the sacrificial objects.
Unable to resist Tomafar's warm invitation, Louis went with him.
The Druids are rugged and difficult to navigate, with endless rolling black mountains. There are different types of magical beasts scattered there, and they inherit the power of their ancestors.
For the sake of safety, the security forces are quite sufficient.
A crawling dragon with a large body like a hill stood in the square, and a dragon hunter straddled the soft seat at the back of the dragon's head.
The wheels are made of magic items called comfort wheels, which are highly prized by craftsmen. Even on potholed roads, the stability of the dragon cart is still amazing.
And it is the black scorpion dragon that pulls this ultra-high-end dragon car that is made at an astonishing cost, which is very much in line with this level of luxury.
The cost of a dragon car of this level is so much that people are too lazy to calculate.
Louie's cowardice is playing tricks again, won't he ride the dragon to the Druid Mountains this time?
Security was guarded by two hundred well-trained and well-armed knights. Their armor and weapons were a little bulky, and the heavy armor was as huge as the door panels, and they carried quivers and longbows on their backs, which seemed to symbolize indestructible strength.
Among the group of soldiers, the figure leading the way was a young knight.
Only he was different from the other soldiers, he wore heavy equipment, his armor was full-body armor, and his spear was different from a knight's spear, like the kind that infantry would hold.
He is the biological son of the auxiliary minister, Lord Minow, and he has been in the position of chief knight at such a young age, and if he returns safely from this hunt, he will be a knight.
In addition, Auxiliary Minister Mino also specially hired a mercenary group to lead the way.
I heard that this mercenary group often hunts monsters in the forests on the edge of the Druid Mountains, and obtains the essence of monsters to sell at a high price.
The disciplined movements and words and deeds have a different atmosphere from that of mercenaries. They have sharp eyes and are unrelenting in their guard.
The first impression of this mercenary group on Louis is that they are a group of dangerous elements, and they must not be provoked.
Louis didn't dare to move his seat all the way, and his fear of dragon carriages was no less than claustrophobia.
Halfway through, Louis went to a Toron bar and asked Morgan Sr. if Davide had been there in the past two days.
But Morgan Sr.'s answer was a bit disappointing, and he hadn't been seen since he met Davide at the bar that day. The elder Morgan did not think about this every day, and waited for his bartender to teach him a new wine-making process, and gradually became obsessed.
After half a day's journey, they first arrived at the suburban plains outside Wang Chengwai and began to bury pots and cook for repairs.
Tomafa is no less than others in enjoying life, and this time he brought a few cooks to cook for him, steak and wine are indispensable.
The knights and mercenaries, on the other hand, eat bread made of rye, which tastes rather coarse but has a different taste when chewed carefully. Of course, there is also marinated air-dried beef, which is essential for them who often travel to the army and hunt monsters.
"Your Highnesses, we still have six hours to reach the Druid Mountains." The knight commander Milon took a map and reported to Kaz, the leader of the mercenary group.
Even in the open plains, the knights are still on the alert, which may be considered too timid. However, in this world where magic actually exists, and monsters and monsters roam everywhere, no matter how much you overcome all odds, you can't guarantee certain safety.
Monsters are generally lizardmen, goblins, pig-headed people, etc., these are ordinary creatures that breed in life, old age, sickness and death, although they may disappear with evolution. But strictly speaking, it's still a creature, like a 'subhuman'.
Warcraft, on the other hand, are more advanced, and also use magic, and are more beast-oriented, generally found in mountains, oceans, and large forests.
"Your Highness, let's put away the wine, it's not peaceful around here, and the mellow smell of wine is easy to attract those drunken monsters." Kaz, the leader of the mercenary group, spoke.
