Chapter 386
Although Xia Dong didn't really want to be a guest in the territory of the Helois family, but in this uninhabited Black Rock Mountains, she couldn't let a delicate girl go on the road alone, and considering that maybe she could find the whereabouts of her parents and Hua Wei more effectively through her family's strength, so in the end, Xia Dong still embarked on the road to Vals with her.
The black rock mountain range has finally faded from the ice and snow cover in spring, and the gray and white trees in the mountains have once again pulled out tender green shoots, and the fresh vegetation that has poked its heads out on the ground and various animals that jump by from time to time make people feel refreshed physically and mentally.
Smelling the slightly earthy air, Xia Dong carried a small burden on his back, and walked on the path with relaxed steps, followed by the stumbling Helois, her once white and gorgeous lace pattern dress had become slightly black and gray, and the long skirt corners were covered with dust, although she had lifted the corners of the skirt with both hands to no avail.
As a pampered aristocratic lady, where had she tried to walk by herself before, and she was still walking on such a rugged and bumpy path, but Xia Dong didn't try to carry her on her back, after all, he was not a high-level powerhouse with full physical strength.
Although it was a little unbearable to look at her difficult appearance, there was nothing he could do, the only thing he could do was to stop every distance he walked, so that the young lady Jiaojiao behind could rest for a while.
In the early spring season, everything recovers, and most of the predators have finished hibernation, so he has to be careful to be on guard in case the wind and waves are safely passed, and the last thing is planted in the mouth of some wild wolf and bobcat, although he does not know what kind of predators there are in this world.
However, he was too worried, because he had been with the monster thieves for months, and he was not in a position to take a bath, and his body was full of their scent, which caused most of the predators to avoid them.
Due to the speed of Helois, they walked for seven days before leaving the Blackstone Mountains, but during this time, Xia Dong and this noble lady were quite familiar with each other, and the other side of the other party hidden under the squeamishness and arrogance surprised him quite a bit, objectively speaking, it was quite cute, and she didn't seem to have any discrimination and prejudice against herself now.
Thanks to her, I finally have a deeper understanding of this world, Rui Qiu and Nolia are limited to identity issues after all, and they are vague about many things.
For example, the country on the other side of the continent that has been at war with the Holy Alliance, Nolia and the others only know that the Dark Dynasty is called, but Helois can clearly tell the origin and current situation of the other party.
It turned out that the opposite Lascholm Empire was once a dependency of the Holy Kingdom, but it actually betrayed the kingdom thousands of years ago, and openly turned its back on the Supreme Three Gods, which led to the outbreak of the First Holy War, in that war, the Lascholm Empire suffered heavy losses, and if it weren't for the fact that the legitimate heir of the Holy Kingdom was accidentally killed on the battlefield, which led to a civil war for the throne, it is estimated that the other party would have been directly wiped out.
However, the subsequent civil war hurt the Holy Alliance a lot, causing the original Holy Kingdom to be split into the current three countries, namely the Holy Empire of Fields, the Kingdom of Ferramon, and the Kingdom of Ferma.
Then, after hundreds of years of recuperation and recuperation, and due to the continuous civil war between the three kingdoms, more than 400 years ago, the once dormant Lascommore Empire actually made a comeback and launched the Second Holy War known as the Dark Tide.
At the critical moment, under the oracle of the three supreme gods, the three kingdoms finally abandoned their previous suspicions and established the Holy Alliance, which was worthy of repelling the demonic kingdom, ironically due to the defeat of the war, the Lascholmor Empire blamed each other, and finally split up, becoming two countries, Phyllis Kenyon and Calest, due to the problem of faith, the Holy Alliance still collectively called each other the Dark Dynasty.
And now, as the junction of the Holy Alliance and the Dark Dynasty, the Duchy of Tomur and the Duchy of Delima, where wars broke out from time to time, were independent dukes who performed well in the war at that time, and received awards.
After learning about the history of this world, Xia Dong had a feeling, chaos!
Anyway, human nature is to like to conquer each other and kill each other, and it seems that even in the otherworldly realm, it is no exception.
After walking out of the Blackstone Mountains, Xia Dong hired a carriage in Baijiao Town, which is at the exit of the Blackstone Mountains, for the sake of Helois, although the carriage to Vals and the coachman only cost two silver knights, but Xia Dong, who already had more than a dozen Golden Emperors in his pocket, still felt a pain in his flesh.
The experience of this period of time made him cherish every gray warrior very much, you must know that two silver knights are enough for him to eat for half a year, if calculated according to two meals of dry bread a day.
Forget it, let's just invest in advance, presumably after she sends Herois back, her father, Viscount Montolivo, should agree to help him find his parents and Hua Wei, right?
In this way, sitting in a light and comfortable carriage, five days later, Xia Dong finally saw the towering and majestic castle in the distance surrounded by an emerald green field.
He tapped lightly on the carriage behind him, his voice tinged with pleasure, "Helois, you're going home soon." ”
"Really?" With the sound of surprise, a beautiful and delicate face has stretched out of the car window, "Wow, it's really home, it's great!" ”
The corners of his mouth pulled out an arc, Xia Dong lazily leaned on the carriage, his eyes squinted slightly and looked at the castle in the distance, the whole body is made of brown rocks, the top of several minarets are painted vivid blue, the walls of the castle are crawling with vines on all sides, it seems to be full of life, compared with the previous abandoned castle, I really don't know how much better the road is.
On both sides of a straight dirt road that stretched out in front of the city gate, a large number of peasants were working hard, and although their clothes were relatively shabby, they were still relatively neat, at least not in tatters, which meant that their lives were passable, and that the lords of the land were more benevolent.
The carriage gradually came to the outside of the castle, and there were several brightly armored guards standing on the left and right of the drawbridge, they held their spears tightly in their hands, and when they saw Xia Dong approaching, the two soldiers in front of them took a few steps and asked loudly: "Sir, what is the matter?" ”
Well, it can be seen from their tone that the viscount's tutor is good, Xia Dong nodded slightly, and then replied: "I sent Miss Hellois back." ”
"Miss Herois?" The guard immediately exclaimed, and at the same time, the noble lady who heard the movement had already poked her head out, and she had a reserved smile on her face, "Chuck, is my father in the castle?" ”
After a careful look at it twice, Chuck, who confirmed that it was his own young lady who came back, immediately replied happily, "Miss Hui, Lord Viscount is in the study, do you need me to report?" ”
Being able to report the information about the safe return of the Viscount's only precious daughter in the past, the excited Viscount will definitely not be stingy.
