Chapter 605: Another Chick Comes
Because Luna was in a hurry, Barry chose the best and most convenient route, although it also had to go through the dense forest, which belonged to two lords who were quite tough and looked at each other unpleasantly.
Thanks to these two lords, from time to time they fought like a sweep, occasionally in the dense forest at the junction of the pair of gifts, they crossed this dense forest, not to mention bandits, even the large carnivorous beasts have become a rarity, one after another, but a herd of small herbivores, become the master of this forest.
"These two are really well governed......
The moment she walked out of the forest, Luna couldn't help but turn her head to look at the dense forest behind her, which could be called a natural farm, and she swore that this was the best few days she had eaten in the forest when she was so big, and she would have to praise them with her father when she returned.
"They have a lot more private soldiers than they can do. Barry reminded after Luna's words fell.
"You know that, too?" said Luna, looking at Barry in surprise.
In fact, it is not a secret that the lord's private soldiers are excessive, except for the lords stationed in the border cities and coastal areas, almost all of them have this situation, anyway, there is no need for the state to pay for it, as long as it does not make trouble, the royal family has always turned a blind eye.
Of course, with the vast territory of the Snow Wolf Country, it can't be managed.
Take Luna's grandfather as an example, among the old warriors who went to the royal city to retire, as far as Luna knows, at least a quarter of them were private soldiers, and this is not half of the private soldiers.
In fact, if there is a major turmoil in the country and it is necessary to recruit soldiers from the lords, these private soldiers are also very useful, even if they are not requisitioned, but after losing the original soldiers on the land, these private soldiers who have been trained long ago will become a strong backing to continue to maintain the stability of the territory.
Of course, the amount of this private soldier's overdraft also depends on the intimacy of the relationship between the lords and the royal family.
"After the city of Manton and then to the northeast, it is the city of Sithea, and when you go to the city of Sicia to change ships, go down the river, and when you reach the town of Ruiban, you can enter the royal city after four or five days of rapid travel north. Barry said helplessly as Luna pointed to the northeast.
Luna suddenly realized that one of these two stubbles was a neighbor of Lady Cecia's family, and with Barry's explanation, Luna's mind also appeared the approximate location of herself and the others.
"A map is not the same as walking outside, and at first I couldn't tell which was which, I couldn't determine where I was, and I couldn't predict the itinerary, but it will be fine after a long time. Barry looked at Luna amusedly, reassuringly.
Luna wrinkled her nose and snorted, wasn't she comforted at all?
God knows, under Gote's teaching, she can look at a map of the distribution of the lords of the Snow Wolf Country with her eyes closed, although it may be ugly and absolutely distorted, but she also really imprinted the territory map of the Snow Wolf Country in her mind.
"Don't be discouraged~" Barry smiled and raised his hand to pat the top of Luna's head, rubbing his hand dishonestly.
Luna became even more depressed, raised her hand and slapped the claws that were messing around her head, stared at Barry's recovered left eye again, snorted, and ran away.
You must know that Barry is a proper scumbag, and when he was in school, it was said that his classes were skipped, and even if she wasn't a top student, she would be a little bit on the sidelines, right?
However, this cruel reality!
After being hit by Barry, Luna, who checked into the town's tavern in the evening, pulled out the map she had with her to study, comparing the roads she had traveled along the way, and trying to match the various line symbols on the paper with the road under her feet as soon as possible.
It was also her way because of the famous Igas escort that was slack, and if there was no one to lead the way, looking at the map in her hand, Luna shook her claws.
Although she didn't expect to be able to know the distance in the short term like Barry, who had been "wandering" outside for many years, she realized the problem at this moment, and she didn't allow herself to go out, and she didn't even have a concept of where she was.
The tavern environment is undoubtedly noisy and not soundproof, which is the only thing Luna has misadapted along the way.
It's not that the living environment is good or bad, but as an orc, he has a keen sense of hearing, and staying in a place like a tavern that gets more noisy at night is not as comfortable as living in a tent in the wilderness in Luna's opinion, who has long been accustomed to a quiet sleeping environment.
If it weren't for a few copper coins in a tavern and a hot bath, Luna would have preferred to sleep in the wilderness.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Hit, hit, hitβ"
As the night grew darker, the sound of fighting came from downstairs again, Luna raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, put away the map spread out on the table, and prepared to take advantage of the excitement below, to go to the owner of the tavern, and ask him to find someone to help him boil some hot water as soon as possible to take a combat bath.
But before Luna could count the money out of her purse, her door was slammed violently, and Chester's shouts were heard outside the door.
"Open the door, the boss is fighting with someone!"
Luna was startled and walked quickly to the door and crouched down, first collecting the silk used to stumble underneath before pulling open the loose deadbolt.
Chester outside the door had a colorful face, his jaw was high and swollen and bruised, and he couldn't help frowning at just one glance of Luna, raised his hand to pinch Chester's intact other jaw, looked at it carefully, and asked:
"Do you know that this jaw was almost shattered, what's going on?"
"You don't care about me, the point is that you have to help the boss!" Chester tore off Luna's hand as if he didn't know it hurt, dragging her downstairs.
"What about Ruben and them?" said Luna, looking at the back of Chester's head suspiciously.
"It's all here!" Chester simply spat out three words, and at the corner of the stairs, he tugged hard at Luna, pulling Luna in front of him, and pushing her down the stairs first.
However, after walking down two or three steps, there were no beams to obscure the view, and the scene downstairs fell into Luna's eyes, and at this moment Luna finally understood why Chester had come looking for her.
Because Dunn and Wheeler, who were protecting Shirley Saffy's bruised nose and swollen face, and Barry and Reuben standing in front of the four of them, were a group of soldiers in armor in the corner of the tavern.
Luna frowned at the group of soldiers, and before she could speak, a whistle sounded, followed by frivolous words that entered Luna's ears.
"Boss, look! There's another little girl~~~ This looks good enough~~~"
As the words of the soldier who was also wearing armor fell, all kinds of eyes in the tavern fell on Luna's body, and Luna looked at the soldier's eyes with a hint of danger, and Barry, who was blocked in the corner, had an ugly face that became more and more ugly.
