Winston was a city near the border between the Orlan Empire and the Langmu Empire, but it was very small, more of a walled town than a city. Winston City is so small that there are less than ten inns in the entire city, which is rare in the Orlan Empire, which is famous for its commerce. At the gates of the city, a convoy of only three carriages but more than a hundred guards was slowly entering the gates. With such a lineup, it is clear that this is not a caravan, but the carriage of a certain great nobleman, which is why it is like this. But why would such a big man come to a small place like Winston? The onlookers speculated with each other and wanted to find out, but the guards had already begun to drive them away, and the men had to mumble away.

Dispersed the crowd, a middle-aged man with a somewhat bloated figure came to the carriage with several guards, and bent down: "I am Giles, the lord of Winston City, I take the liberty to ask for your identity and why you came, I don't know if you can tell me?"

The captain of the guard took out a small book from his bosom and handed it to Giles: "This trip is in the name of a private person, and I hope the city lord will keep quiet." ”

Looking at the identification certificate on the small book, Giles was speechless for a while: "It turned out to be ...... It's really rude. With that, he hurriedly bent down and apologized.

"Alright," the captain of the guard waved his hand, "it doesn't need to be like this, just as if we didn't exist." ”

"Yes, the villain understands. With that, Giles greeted him and left with the soldiers he had brought.

In the vicinity of the carriage, Snub Xing relied on the exploration of his spiritual power to fully understand the conversation between the city lord and the captain of the guard, as well as the contents of the notebook. He glanced thoughtfully at one of the carriages, it turned out that she was this identity, it was a little surprised, but it didn't matter to him, he just had to follow them and complete the task of escorting.

At this time, the leader of the Lion Mercenary Regiment where the Snub Star is now located, a sturdy man with a beard, came to the side of the Captain of the Guard: "Mr. Owen, the person who entered Winston City to inquire about the situation before me outside has returned and brought back a little news. ”

The captain of the guard nodded, "What's the news?"

"That's right," the bearded man explained, "it's not particularly important, but there are few inns here, and there aren't many vacant rooms, and if you want to find a single inn, you can accommodate ten people at most." ”

"That's right, that's a bit of a hassle. Owen frowned: "Since you came to tell me, do you have any plans?"

"I think it's better to let the others find a place to live on their own, and leave the strongest people to live in this inn together, so as to protect the employer. ”

Owen thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll ask the master and let her have an idea, and the people who live with her will also let her choose." ”

The beard nodded: "That's fine, then please." ”

Owen walked over to one of the three carriages, bent over, and whispered, "Your Highness." ”

"What's wrong?" a soft female voice came out of the curtain, like a warm spring breeze, which made people's minds involuntarily relax.

"That's right," Captain Owen explained, "Do you want to do this?"

"Since Captain Kenneth suggests so, then let's do it," said the female voice, "do you want me to appoint a candidate?"

"Yes, there are eight more than you and the lord, I suggest that you just choose a few of those mercenaries who are strong, and the rest will be filled by the guards, after all, those mercenaries cannot be completely trusted. ”

"Well," the female voice was silent for a moment, "then please ask the head and deputy head of the Lion Mercenary Regiment, as well as the Snub Star, and the others will be selected by the guards." ”

Owen was stunned and said, "That suspicious snub star, why him?"

......The woman in the carriage did not answer.

Owen hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Highness, can I ask if you know that snubbed star?"

The woman was silent for a moment, then asked, "Does it matter?"

Owen sighed: "I'm just to ensure the safety of His Highness, after all, we are traveling in the name of private this time, in case of accidents on the road, Your Majesty will not have any reaction, so be careful." ”

"I can be sure that he will not pose a threat to my life. ”

Since they all said so, Owen had to nod: "I understand, since this is the case, I will do what His Highness says." ”

After the convoy arrived at an inn, Bearded announced to the rest of the mercenary group that due to the lack of rooms, he, the deputy head of the group, and the three of them would be in charge of the care of the inn with a few others, and the others would temporarily go to find a place on their own until tomorrow morning to meet here. Although the mercenaries were a little dissatisfied, they still followed the arrangement of the beard, and the head of the regiment and the deputy commander were selected, and they had no opinions, but Snub Star was also selected, which made them have to discuss, after all, Snub Star was not a member of their mercenary group, but just took over this task with them, so it was inevitable to be curious. However, they soon became distracted by something else and forgot about the snub star.

When they arrived at the door of the inn, the people in the carriage also came down, and the mercenaries all knew that one of the three carriages was loaded with goods, and there were only two people who really needed to be escorted, sitting in two carriages. Since they had been sitting in the carriage and had not shown up before, the mercenaries were also very curious about it. The thing that came out of the carriage in front of him was an old man, the old man was over half a hundred years old, and the white hair could be seen on his sideburns, and although he walked steadily, his steps were a little vain. And out of the other carriage was a woman, with long soft light blue hair, and a veil covering her face, and her face could not be seen, but from her slender figure, it was conceivable that it must have been extremely beautiful. She wore a long white dress with a golden ribbon as an ornament, which was very simple, but complemented by the soft beauty she gave people. Seeing this woman, the mercenaries were stunned for a moment, such a woman is really rare, and the natural noble temperament on her body can't help but give birth to admiration.

Snub Star glanced at the woman, she now feels different from before, probably because of her identity, Snub Star noticed that she glanced at herself, paused slightly, but didn't do anything, just walked towards the hotel under the escort of Owen and several other guards.

At this time, Weier, the deputy head of the Lion Mercenary Group, a shirtless man came to the side of Snub Star: "Brother Snub Star, I really didn't expect you to be selected, maybe that woman saw that you had such a cultivation at a young age and wanted to win you over." ”

Snub Xing asked lightly, "Why do you think that the person with the real high status is the woman and not the old man?"

"Isn't it very simple?" Weil smiled: "That guard captain is a saint-level master, he has always been next to that woman's carriage, it must be that woman's status is high after all." ”

Speaking of this, he squeezed his eyes: "If you want me to guess, she is likely to be the daughter of a big noble family, maybe people have taken a fancy to you." ”

Snub Star shook his head calmly: "No." ”

"Why?" said Will.

Snub Xing walked forward and suddenly asked, "As long as you are there at night, you don't need to be during the day, right?"

"Ah, yes," Weil replied a little upset as Snub changed the subject.

"I'll walk around this Winston city in this way," Snub said, walking into the distance, "I'll be back when it's time to rest." ”

Inside the hotel, the woman's afterglow saw this scene, and her footsteps suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Owen asked, puzzled.

The woman was silent for a long time, shook her head, and continued to walk towards her room. She and Snub Star are both walking, but in different directions, and she herself seems to understand something. Obviously, the snub star was not far from her, but she felt that she couldn't talk to him face-to-face like before, and this short distance was as far away as the end of the world. Perhaps, this is the price of growth, when she begins to grow, she will be farther and farther away from the people around her. If it were an ordinary person, maybe it wouldn't be like this, but her identity is special, and this is her fate. Footsteps sounded in different places, and the distance between the two people was slowly moving away, and one day, it would be impossible to see each other again. No one could see it, and a faint sadness appeared on the woman's face under the veil, and then disappeared.
