Chapter 129: Confusion

What kind of place is the capital of the Grey Lion Kingdom? If you ask people on the continent other than the Grey Lion Kingdom, they will tell you that it is just the center of a small country in the north. In fact, due to the vastness of the continent, many people find it difficult to distinguish the difference between the northern steppe and the kingdom of the lion bordering it, so although the kingdom of the lion is not classified as a nomad, most people's impression of the lion is far from civilization.

After all, the population of the entire kingdom of the Grey Lion is probably also a scarce one on the mainland, but due to the bitter cold climate in the north, the Grey Lion has a vast territory that is not commensurate with its population. However, after all, as the capital of a country, the area of the Lion King Capital is about as large as four iron forts, that is to say, if you ride a horse around the outer city wall of the Lion King Capital, it will take at least half a day.

Although the population of the Greylion Kingdom is not large, the royal city as the capital is naturally crowded, and as the morning dawns, the gates of the four directions of the royal city also slowly fall through the moat with the groaning of the winch. Merchants who got up early to enter the city to trade and peasants who had a need for things in the city had been waiting outside the city for some time. Among the crowds was a carriage drawn by two old brown horses, with the words "The Wonderful Tour of Roland the Big Hat" written in somewhat faded colored paint.

"Hello sir, where are you from?" asked the guard politely as Roland drove the carriage through the city gate with a hat brimmed large enough to be used as an umbrella.

"Good morning, sir. I'm coming from the south, and as you can see, I'm doing a recovery show with my apprentice. You are also welcome to come and see our performances when you have free time. Slightly lowering the brim of his hat with his hand in respect, Roland said in a happy tone. He looks like a passionate performer who is actively inviting everyone to come and see his show.

"My pleasure, sir. But now, if you allow us, we must inspect your carriage, and your apprentice, where is he?" the guard was satisfied with Roland's response, although there were not many such wandering entertainers, but there were always a few of them in a month, after all, although the southerners did not look down on the kingdom of the lion, it was also unknown that those things that had long been tired of being looked down upon in the big cities might be welcomed here again.

"Of course, my poor little apprentice fell in love with a beautiful young lady when he was in a previous town. Unfortunately, it's unlikely that someone like us would manage a relationship like that. So he's still hiding in the carriage in the blow of a broken love, you know, a young man of this age. Roland shook his head as he spoke, and let out a puff of smoke from his mouth. Then the old man took out a cane from the sleeve of his robe and helped him get out of the carriage, "Come on, come on, I'll take you to see him." Alas, it is inconvenient for people to get old and their legs and feet. ”

And apparently compared to the story in Roland's mouth, the guard was obviously frightened by the old man's action of pulling out his cane. In this day and age, due to magic, people's first reaction to incredible phenomena is often the caster. And it is precisely because of the existence of these means that the impossible can be made possible, that the concept of magic has not yet been created. Therefore, Roland's behavior in the eyes of this guard instantly moved closer to those legendary spellcasters. Almost all kingdoms did not dare to refuse access to spellcasters, because God knows what kind of disasters would be brought to rashly angering these guys, such as the plague in the county of Saron, which was rumored in the city of the Lion King because Count Saron offended a wizard. For this reason, the guard's attitude towards Roland changed instantly, and in addition to being more respectful, the old man also saw fear and worry in the guard's eyes.

"Roar, don't be afraid of young people, it's just some little craft of my old fellow. You know, when your beard is as long as mine, it's no different from committing suicide to make a living by eating on physical strength. Roland said to the guards, his voice very kind, like a kind old man joking with his grandchildren. The old man didn't explain to the other party that his means were not magic, and for a long time, Roland knew that sometimes making people misunderstand his identity could bring unexpected conveniences. Walking to the back of the carport with the guards, Roland used his cane to open the curtain behind the carport.

"My dear apprentice, don't miss your girl anymore! I told you that it is impossible for you to be with her, and you see, because of your loss, I, the old man, have to bring Mr. Guard himself to care for you. ”

The sunlight shining into the carport was bright enough, and the guards saw the debris piled up in the carriage carport. At the same time, I also saw the young man in the innermost part of the carport, half-lying on the straw and shielding the sudden sunlight with one hand. Cheese's frail and pale face and his own appearance were foreshadowed by Roland, so that in the eyes of the guards, he was indeed a young man depressed by a broken love. As for his peculiar skin color, it doesn't seem to be a surprise given Roland's status as a spellcaster.

"Look, Mr. Guard, this kid has been like this since two days ago, and even the manual work of driving a car has to be done by me, an old man. The clutter in the carport is even less time-sensitive. Roland grumbled at the guards with his pipe in his mouth. It seems that he is really an old man who has no problem with his juniors.

The guard looked briefly at the contents of Roland's carport, because he was worried about Roland's identity, he didn't even dare to approach the carport rashly, he didn't want to think that this kind of stupid reason was turned into a frog or a spider by the mage. After confirming that Cheese was indeed a normal human, but his face was a little pale, the guard signaled that Roland was fine. He even said to the cheese before he closed the curtain with the old man.

"Boy, although I know that falling out of love is a very painful thing, you also have to take care of your old man's body. ”

With that, the guards walked away to check on the next person who had entered the city with a lot of luggage. Cheese was left with a puzzled face, still thinking about when he had fallen out of love. Anyway, after Roland climbed into the driver's seat of the carriage again, they entered the royal city without any problems, and did not alarm anyone except for the slight doubts of the guard. Perhaps after today, the guard would have completely forgotten that he had examined such a somewhat mysterious old man and a lovelorn young man.

And that's exactly what Cheese needs.
