After leaving the car, Kyild, who was judged to be awkward, shook off the feeling that he had just been so entangled that he could not think carefully, he looked at the surrounding scenery, and began to talk with the coachman.

I heard that in the Goddess Continent, there is a great gap between those "families" and ordinary people, and many "family" people hold their own identities and refuse to communicate with others easily, especially those who are called "mercenaries". The people of the "family" will proudly raise their chins and speak in a condescending tone to what they see as "commoners".

This sounds similar to the "nobles" and "mercenaries" of the Demon King Continent, but in fact, the nobles of the Demon King Continent never think that they are superior because they have a status closer to the Demon King. No matter what they think in their hearts, they will definitely not show a posture of pride that is disgusting.

Kryd checked the map to determine the route the driver was going to take next. If there were only three of them, they would have chosen a shortcut to walk, or even rode a horse. But they also carried three female dependents, so they could only sit in the carriage and smoothly choose the road to walk.

However, they all received lessons from their parents before they left the house, and they also knew some of the paths that the nobles knew about while being safe. If you follow this itinerary, you will be able to reach your destination in about seven days.

However, there are some problems with this. Their chauffeur was a transit pointer, and though these paths weren't really a secret, they shouldn't be used by outsiders.

Kyild stared at the map in his hand, thinking slowly in his head.

Not long after they left the city, Letty noticed that someone was following them. When they changed carriages from the transit station, that following was even more malicious, which meant that they had to find a way to change their original route.

There were other stops on the way from the transit station to Timai Town where they could rest, and if he could determine the route they were going to take now, then he could negotiate with Leti and Wokan to stop using the wagons at the next stop, and rent a carriage of their own that all the continents had return points, and let them ride it themselves.

According to the current schedule, the next major stop will not arrive until two days later. It is even less noticeable to change carriages at large stations with a lot of traffic, so that by the time they do, it will take them another four or five days to reach the town of Timae, provided that nothing happens.

As for accidents......

For a moment, Kyild thought of the three women who had no ability to protect themselves.

…… He might need to talk to Wokan about what to do.

The process of replacing the carriage after two days went quite smoothly. The staff at the transfer station are very professional and do not question the decision of the guests without questioning it, and they also show them all the places near the station where they can be leased with horse-drawn carriages.

Lanoda and Rosette were safe with their overseers when they learned of their following, and although Biancole had been unanimously decided by the rest of the group to conceal it for the time being, she had always obediently obeyed Kild's orders and would not cause much trouble.

Until they left the site, they didn't encounter any unexpected circumstances, and all the procedures were handled smoothly and without any delay.

"If we think about the good, we are suspicious, and if we think about the bad, the next journey is the difficulty."

Vokan summed up the current situation succinctly. After their previous discussions, it was impossible for whoever was following them to follow up on Timai Town. Although it is rare for visitors from outside to see the location of the mechanism, it has been confirmed by the elders that Timai Town will automatically trigger a certain type of defense mechanism for outsiders with malicious intentions.

So if there was to be some kind of accident, it would have to be on the way before they reached the town of Timae.

"Be on your guard." Leti frowned lightly and said, "We are in the light, and we don't even know the identity of the people in the shadows, this situation is too passive." We need to get to Timai as soon as possible. ”

Even though Bianko didn't know why their schedules had suddenly become tighter, she could feel the tension. She cautiously glanced at Kyird, whose face was not too good, and still suppressed the doubt in her heart.

If you always ask questions at an inopportune time, you will annoy the other person, as Mrs. Syger has taught. Although Biancole didn't quite understand what Madame Tryco meant when she said that "these ways of getting along are for people who don't know well", would familiar and unfamiliar people react differently to the constant flow of questions? But that didn't stop her from doing what she said.

Like Rossey said, think of yourself as a maid who doesn't need to do housework – just follow orders. Bianko nodded to herself.

The rest of the journey was a world different from the previous one, and Leti was able to drive a little more smoothly, but if Wokan was outside, they would all need to be careful and careful in the car to keep their heads from hitting back and forth. Their protests were also revived, citing inexperience.

Since the planning of the route was mainly done by Kyild, whoever was driving the carriage had to adjust the route outside to his surroundings. Biancole obeyed Kyird's order to keep her in the carriage quietly, and her two friends curled up in the carriage as best they could, so as not to collide too much.

For the first two days, they threw off their followers, but it is unknown what method they used, and on the third day they followed them again, much closer than before.

It's even close enough to appear right in front of their eyes.

"Letty!"

The sudden halt of the carriage and the angry shouts of Kyld outside caused Leti in the carriage to quickly stand up, and he ordered the three women to stay in the carriage before driving them out. Only the three girls were left to sit on the floor of the carriage, nervously listening to the sound of weapons handing over outside.

"In this way, it's good that the technology of the Goddess Continent has not been introduced." Lanoda said abruptly, "I heard that their war will use some items that will make things explode and burn as weapons, if that were the case, we would have died a long time ago, right?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Rano, even if you're nervous, you don't have to say this to relieve it. Rosette looked at her with some appretriety, "Wouldn't that make you more nervous?" ”

Lanoda smiled unnaturally, and the crash from the wall scared her into screaming, but she covered her mouth before she could scream.

"Biya, don't talk no matter what happens." Rosette whispered, "We'll distract them." ”

Bianko nodded obediently and gently grabbed Rosette's sleeve with her hand. Lanorda wrapped her arms around the two of them as if she were protecting them.

However, this was the last memory they had before they fell unconscious.

When Bianko woke up again, it was pitch black, with only a little moonlight streaming in through the railing on the high wall.

…… It's like going back to prison.

The thought made Bianko subconsciously reach for her neck, and she breathed a sigh of relief when her hand came from the shape of a square, somewhat awkward hand instead of a rounded ring.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Biya? Rossy? ”

Lanoda's voice came from not far away, and Bianko adjusted to the darkness and walked towards Lanoda's somewhat vague outline.

"Oh, Biya, are you okay?" Biancole felt Lanoda's warm hand grasp her arm, "What about Rosie?" ”

"I'm here." Rosette's voice also sounded softly, and with a little rustling sound, she also came to their side, "None of you are hurt, are you?" ”

"Nope." Lanoda and Bianko shook their heads, "Looks like we're separated from them, though. ”

"I don't know what's going on over thereβ€”"

The sound of the iron door slamming shut in the distance made Rosette hold back her words, and a heavy footstep slowly approached them, and the light from the oil lamp gradually illuminated the environment.

They were in a small room, leaning against the wall on a stone platform with weeds piled up. At the top of the platform was the small window that let in the light, and the direction opposite the window was where they were now sitting, tightly blocked by an iron railing.

An old man with gray hair shuffled towards them with an oil lamp, and he trembled and shoved a piece of paper out of the railing into their room, and left them without saying a word. Lanoda gave a "tsk", then picked up the paper and looked at it with Rosette in the moonlight.

"Hey, what the hell is this!" Lanoda said angrily, "Inexplicable! ”

Bianko blinked at a somewhat angry Lanoda and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" So what is written on it? ”

"Probably to say, let's not think about escaping, we are incompetent people who have been locked up in prison since childhood, we have no ability to fight, we can't escape at all, let's stay here and honestly wait to be used as test subjects. The three meals a day will be brought by the old man just now, who is deaf and mute, and it is useless for us to talk to him. ”

Rosette looked at the note thoughtfully, and Lanoda calmed down and flicked her fingers lightly.

"Of course we can't do what we say, I don't know what the situation is on their side of Wokan, and they don't know when they will find us. Judging from the tone above, there should be a lot of 'test subjects' like us who have been caught in the same way, and the guards are not too tight, and if we want to escape, the sooner we want to escape, the more unexpected it will be. ”

Biancole looked at Lanorda, and then at Rosette, who nodded, she didn't quite understand the course of events, but she knew what Lanorda meant, and they needed to find a way to escape now.

"There's only one lock on the little door of this railing." Rosette watched closely, "I don't think any of us have learned how to pick locks, have we?" ”

"Hmm......" Lanoda frowned and thought hard, "the old man should have the key on him, because the gaps in these railings are not enough to put food in, but in that case, either our movements will be restricted in some way, or the old man himself has the ability to protect himself, and it will only be more difficult to escape if he acts rashly before the situation is clear." ”

"Then wait for tomorrow." Rosette finalized the plan, "No matter what, there is nothing that can be done right now." ”
