Chapter Ninety-Nine: Departure
At the door of Lucifergus's house, Julian and Emir stand at the door.
In front of him was a simple carriage, smaller than the usual time for the two sisters to go to school, but it was still finished, surrounded by white decorations, the top of which was built with a wooden shed, and the mark of both hands was engraved in the middle, which was the coat of arms of the cathedral representative priest.
This is the carriage arranged by Fiona.
"The road is full of snow, but there is still a mountain road behind it that is not easy to walk, and only the priest in the group can ride in the carriage, so Lias and Lucia will follow me. Fiona said as she stood in front of the carriage.
"Well, then I'm sorry for you...... Come on, Lias, and thank you Aunt Fiona. Julian turned around and beckoned Lias from behind him to come forward.
It was still quite cold, and both of them wore thick clothes, because Lias had to endure putting leather bracers and leggings on her hands and feet because of the battle.
"Come on, let's go straight from Simon, where Mentor Edmund and the rest of the team will meet on the way. "Thousands of people traveled and they were all elite troops of the city, in order not to be discovered by those dangerous forces hiding in the shadows, several organizations chose to disperse and walk, and finally converged in one place.
Of course, so many people are out of the city, and it is impossible for no one to know about it, and the Wizards Association only claims to investigate the incident of the werewolves, and no one mentions how many people are sent...... In fact, the details of this mission are only known to high-ranking people, and the other ordinary soldiers and magicians only know that this mission is very dangerous, so a large number of people are organized.
Fiona pulls the two girls into the carriage.
"It's all some marching supplies, just sit together. ”
Lias opened the door, and there was only one person, and the carriage was actually piled up with all kinds of miscellaneous items.
The priest is the assistant to each team, but in fact, there is another task in the broader team, that is, logistics, daily necessities, potions for injuries, or some other common supplies, most of which are carried by the priest.
That's why the people of the cathedral are taken seriously even when they're very low-key, because in addition to the treatment, they're also working on the logistics.
Wang Chu stopped on Lias's shoulder, and just as he was about to enter, he heard the voice of the emir behind him.
"Be careful, sister. We will wait for you at home...... And Cam, you must also come back safely, don't lose your temper outside, listen to your sister, and protect your sister. There seemed to be some unhappiness on his face, but he still insisted on smiling.
Warm, Wang Chu was still carrying a small bag in his hand.
It was the snacks that Emir prepared for herself, which she liked to feed herself on weekdays, dried meat, fruits, and bay leaves (something similar to vegetables).
"Well, you have to listen to grandpa at home. Lias replied with a smile.
Several families around the door opened their doors slightly, and the snow at their doors was not cleared on heavy snowy days, and they probably didn't go out for several days...... I looked at the situation here.
"Get in the car first, be careful, and listen to your Aunt Fiona. At Julian's urging, the two men finally entered the carriage.
A strong smell of medicinal herbs.
You can smell it as soon as you get in the car.
"Just sit down, these are all potions for the team, they are all packed, don't be careful. The carriage staggered.
The cart was also pulled by a woman, who looked to be about forty or fifty years old, with deep wrinkles on her face, dressed in plush armor and carrying a large sword behind her back.
Wang Chu noticed that the carved pattern on the sword was the emblem of the paladin.
Probably because of the cold weather and the fact that there was no fire in the carriage, the three of them did not speak much along the way.
Fiona asked about some things in life, and felt that the students' lives were similar anyway, and asked about the exercises.
Especially for Lucia, she was very curious, she had also seen the opponent's fight in the academy competition, and the use of that fighting skills and experience far exceeded that of many students of this age.
I asked a lot about Lucia's hometown, and it was basically the same as she usually said.
Oh, the west.
As for the western side of the empire, that place is really rarely set foot in. Because as far as the Asta Empire is concerned, the empires in the east are all big powers, especially the countries on the coast are rich and powerful, and most of the diplomatic focus of the empire is on that side.
There are many principalities in the west, and most of them are war-torn countries, which are relatively barren.
She hadn't been to a western country for so many years, so she didn't continue to ask if she didn't comment on anything. target
Wang Chu was blowing a cold wind, so he took out the small food bag in his hand and took a look.
Ouch, this emir really has a heart, the bags he gives are exactly the size of his palm, and he has everything in the food bag, and he eats at zero hour on weekdays.
The carriage kept going, and Wang Chu only felt that the slow speed seemed to be getting faster.
The chariot of the cathedral priest is not blocked by the general gate guards......
"High Priest, we are outside the city, are they all waiting at the three-way intersection on the west side?"
"Well, just go all the way to the west, there's a watchtower at the three-way intersection, and they should all be over there. Fiona shouted outside.
The carriage changed direction and continued on its way.
Wang Chu had never left the city gate on the west side, and of course they didn't know where they were talking about.
After walking for more than 20 minutes, I began to hear other horses barking outside, and it became more and more noisy.
Lias's eyes widened slightly, as she pulled open some of the carriage doors.
Where have I seen such a scene, hundreds of cavalry around them walked forward mightily.
One of the closest paladins looked back in Rias's direction, his eyes lit up and then nodded with a slight smile.
I guess I thought the people in the car were priests.
"These should be paladins, there will be people from the Wizards Association and the military department on the other side of the channel, this mission did not offer a bounty to the adventurer team to join, just beware that they will leak things out, and you will sit in the carriage later, you don't need to go to the student team, but it is estimated that they will not have a separate team. Fiona thought about it.
Lias and Lucia nodded blankly, as if they didn't quite understand what each other meant.
Wang Chu also smiled in his heart, isn't it a joke to list the student team alone, it is estimated that those students who have family affairs are in the relevant teams.
Looking at the mighty dragon outside, it is true that he has never seen such a large formation.
In the distance, a tiny ten-meter-tall minaret appeared in front of him.
The snow covers almost the entire body of the tower, and it is not easy to find if it is not very slender and characteristic.
This is the fork in the road.
Wang Chu looked at the road's eyeline, and the direction in front of him was indeed divided into three places, and under the minaret there was a neat circle of human heads, black and pressing.
This kind of scene always reminds Wang Chu of the feeling of crowding the train during the festival in his previous life.
There are a lot of people, thousands of heads.
In addition, some of them are still riding horses and carrying carriages, which stretches the team to a spacious distance of thousands of kilometers.
