Chapter 420: On the Road
The pleasant holiday lasted for several days, and on the fourth day, the snow castle group set off for the snow castle. Before leaving, Shirley still hadn't thought about what she wanted Su Wen to do.
In Shelton City, after a short period of festive atmosphere, it gradually returned to normal, and some students and businessmen also left their hometowns early and embarked on the road back.
The number of adventurers in Patintown has gradually increased, and the number is much higher than before the festival. Probably due to the time of a holiday, the adventurers had time to exchange information, and then chose the most suitable place for Xueton to start their careers.
During the entire Dongning holiday, with the joint efforts of all forces of the Maleno Empire, the attack on the Ancient Demon Sect has also achieved further results.
In a short period of time, the good news spread throughout the Maleno Empire, but Su Wen found that there was no leader of the Ancient Demon Sect in the list of achievements.
But this long list at least cost the Ancient Demon Sect half of its life.
The nationwide crackdown has come to an end for the time being.
Thanks to this operation, the security environment in the entire empire has been much better.
Due to the exhaustion of energy, Su Wen's battleship could not be started at all, and could only be made as an ornament and placed in a hidden place in the mountains, which may be a pity.
However, for this reason, when she was on the road, Mia's favorite ghost war horse also came in handy - a few days after the Snow Castle children left, Su Wen and them also embarked on a journey.
This time, Su Wen's target was Wang Cheng.
Although according to the dragon, the "system" has been destroyed by itself, the remaining system creations still exist in this world, and this is still a hidden danger.
But so far, Su Wen has discovered only one system creation, Amal.
According to this clue, it is natural to start with Amal's family. Therefore, Su Wen's target was placed in Wangcheng.
Ellie and Mia, naturally, followed. When Pharos heard that he was going to the royal city of the Maleno Empire, the largest human settlement, he rationally gave up the idea of following and stayed in Shereton.
Yes, it's Xueton, Pharos, who has been in the human city for a long time, and he doesn't even want to go back to that village.
Because they didn't want to cause a commotion among passers-by because of the ghost war horse, after crossing the Longjiang River, the three of them changed to ordinary horses.
"How long do you have until you get to the royal city......" Ellie leaned on her horse, asking the question she asked several times a day.
"Probably a few days. Su Wen was not in a hurry at all, but he didn't give Ellie a definite answer. Because the journey along the way is not straight to the royal city, but stops and stops along the road, city by town, in an almost "tour" way.
In contrast to Ellie, Mia enjoyed the journey and was very excited along the way. After all, in the past few days, Mia has left her footprints along almost every city along the Longjiang River.
Every time he went to a city, Su Wen would go to find out about the recent events in the Maleno Empire, and by the way, he would inquire about the news about the warship energy, but there was no valuable information for Su Wen.
But the closer you get to the royal city, the more information you get, and the more information about the noble royal family.
For example, the snow castle has reopened the northern trade routes, the grandson of the marquis is going to marry the daughter of the baron, and the major colleges in the country are going to set up special security forces, etc.
Among all the big news, the disappearance of a young woman from a side branch of a certain family is not much news. Especially when there are many big families in Wangcheng.
The conflicts, cooperation, and contradictions of interests between the traditional aristocracy and the emerging big families are like a big net, enveloping the entire royal city.
Ordinary people are small fish and shrimp smaller than the mesh, no matter how the net moves, it will not affect them in the slightest. And Emperor Marenor is the one who pulls the net.
Although he can't completely control the net, he can manipulate the general direction of the net, or decide when to close the net and where to open it, which is also within his ability.
The closer you get to the royal city, the more and more pedestrians there are on the road. Sometimes, when you pass the level, there will be a queue. This is also the first time Su Wen has seen the density of population in this country.
It turns out that most of the population is concentrated in the Southeast Plains, which is true......
"Ahhh
"Where to change?" Su Wen sat calmly on the horse, not in a hurry at all.
"Let's get off the horse!
"What about the horses, throw them here?"
Ellie thought about it carefully, although the price of an ordinary horse was only more than 20 silver, but if it was really put here, she still couldn't bear it.
"Woo woo woo this has to be blocked until dark!"
"There is no way, although martial law has also been lifted, but the road leading to the royal city still has security measures. Its purpose is also to prevent the Ancient Demon Sect from retaliating. ”
"Revenge, the Ancient Demon Sect is almost gone, what are you afraid of revenge...... Those crazy people won't even take revenge!"
Several people were chatting, and on the emergency road on the right, a man in uniform drove forward while shouting for a way.
Some of the cars and horses that occupied the road on the right side also quickly leaned in a little to make the road on the right appear wider.
After the uniformed knight who opened the way, a small group of more than a dozen horses, carrying a group of richly dressed young men, marched forward at an unpleasant speed that made the people blocking the road envious.
These are the nobles with privileges.
This emergency road also serves this purpose. In addition to the aristocracy, things such as reporting information to see a doctor and saving lives or happy events can also occupy this road.
The only people stuck in the road were students, businessmen and adventurers – at this point in time, there were no tourists who would have the leisure to come out and play.
"Su Wen, take the emergency road, right?"
"If you're willing to pay a fine and go to jail for a few days, I'm fine. ”
"Shh
Mia was not in a hurry at all, and was stroking the horse's head to soothe the horse's emotions. Although the horse is not as smart and handsome as the Ghost Warhorse, Mia still treats it the same way as the Ghost Warhorse, even if the horse is sold by them after they are brought to the royal city.
"How about I feign my illness?"
"You're not afraid of being found out?"
"Those people won't find out!"
"What if someone finds out about your constitution?"
"Then ......" Ellie thought for a moment and said, "I can poison Mia!"
"What do you want to do!" Mia's ears were quite sensitive, and she immediately raised her head and looked at Ellie warily.
Ellie smiled sincerely and said, "For the sake of our time, Mia, you should work a little harder." ”
Mia still looked at Ellie warily.
After waiting for a while, Ellie wondered, "Why haven't you fallen yet?"
"What did you do?" Mia asked curiously.
"Do you think the inheritors of ancient voices will play your tricks?" Su Wen said to Ellie, gesturing to Mia's arm.
On Mia's arm, the golden marks shone slightly, as if to warn Mia of the dangerous environment around her.
"Why not? Is that thing poison-proof?" Mia asked rhetorically.
Almost in the next second, Mia, who was just about to speak, only felt a wave of dizziness, and then collapsed on the horse's back, before losing consciousness, Mia's only thought was that after she woke up, she must beat Ellie.
Su Wen looked at Mia, who had fainted, and then at Ellie, who looked innocent, sighed, and then was silent for two seconds, and immediately played the role of an older brother who "my sister was suddenly poisoned and needed first aid, worried and nervous". Dismount to check on Mia's condition, then lead the horse and embark on the emergency path on the right.
"Let one let let one let go!!" My sister passed out!!"
Ellie rode in front of her, clearing the way for the two people behind, but in her tone, there didn't seem to be any worry, but as if she was happy about something.
