The journey from Barness to Francis, across several domains, was not easy for the legations, as can be seen from the configuration of the legations.

Norman remembered that when they first left Cárdenas, there were still many wagons in the legations, but now there were not many wagons, and most of the members of the legations rode horses, and some on foot.

"We've already replenished some horses in the Tico Hunting Grounds, and there were even fewer of them before. ”

Isabella said to him.

Now they are in a carriage.

The entire body of the car is made of black ironwood, the handwork is excellent, the wall turns are tightly sealed, and the interior space is vast, so that two people do not look cramped at all. The most exaggerated thing was the chair of the carriage, and the chair against the inner wall of the carriage was a small couch on which the petite ones could sleep, but for the sturdy Norman, he could only lie half-reclined.

It was one of the largest carriages in the legation, second only to the carriage of the Holy Maiden in terms of luxury and sturdiness, and well suited to his status as an oracle.

From riding a horse when he came to the car now, Norman's treatment has been upgraded, but he is not happy at all.

He always felt that nothing good would happen to him with the envoys.

Hopefully, he's just thinking too much.

Norman shook his head, stopped thinking about these things, and looked at Isabella in front of him.

When I met Isabella yesterday, she was wearing a yellow casual dress, but today she changed into the black and white maid outfit he had made for her.

Probably because of the many connections she had been through along the way, her face was a little more weathered than when she first left Cárdenas, her skin was much darker, a healthy wheat color, and Norman felt that she was prettier than before.

According to the Knights Templar, it was a gradual change in his aesthetics.

"Everyone's definition of beauty and ugliness is based on his living environment and living conditions, you used to do farm work in the countryside for a living, survival is the most important problem you face, and only healthy people can do farm work well, get more means of survival, so your definition of beauty is the stronger the better, but when your living environment changes, the people around you are also slender as beautiful, your aesthetics will also unconsciously approach them. ”

This was what Lancelot had told him, and he hadn't noticed it until he suddenly met a former friend, and compared it with the time, that he realized that Lancelot was not wrong.

Seeing that Norman had been staring at her, his eyes unblinking, Isabella couldn't stand it, and couldn't help lowering her head slightly, lowering her eyelids, not daring to look at this adult, her eyes flickering.

Not good!

When Norman saw her like this, his heart was alarmed.

In his opinion, Isabella is a sign of weakness, it is obvious that she has bad intentions towards herself, and she wonders what other conspiracy is unfolding against her!

But it's not right, I'm now an oracle, Agnes and Hardy are respectful to themselves, and Hardy also gave up this big car to himself, how dare Isabella, a little maid, carry out any conspiracy against herself?

Or is there a hint from Hardy or even Agnes behind this? They look respectful to themselves, but in fact they have bad intentions towards themselves?......

In a moment's effort, Norman's heart turned a thousand times, which was enough to show how delicate and agile this former farmer was now.

But he thought about it.

"Congratulations, this little maid is so shy, and obviously has a crush on you. ”

Lancelot's voice came just in time.

Shy?Do you have a crush on yourself?

Norman realized that he had made a mistake, and stared at Isabella suspiciously for a long time.

He clearly remembered that before the separation, Isabella still had a very normal master-servant relationship, and the relationship between the two was even a little cold, why did he have a good impression of her after not seeing her for a long time?

And Lancelot dutifully analyzed for him: "There is a saying that beautiful women love heroes, and there is a certain truth. It is that people have heroism, men's heroism is manifested in becoming heroes, women's heroism is often manifested in the worship of heroes, and women's love for men often begins with worship. ”

"Your actions in the labyrinth of the ether, enduring a lot of pain and saving everyone from fire and water, is undoubtedly a great heroic performance, she was opposite you at that time, closest to you, and naturally felt the deepest......"

This was the first time Norman had heard Lancelot say so much about men and women, and he had never known that Lancelot knew so much about men and women.

However, after listening to Lancelot's analysis, he was also relieved.

It's not that you want to hurt him.

After thinking of this, Norman's mind relaxed, and he asked casually, "Didn't you replenish the carriages, horses, and manpower in the Laki Territory?"

Isabella shook her head, raised her head, and was about to speak, but saw that Norman was still staring at her "hot", so she lowered her head again at once, and two faint reds appeared on her cheeks, adding to the complexion.

This beauty is actually secondary, the key is this shy appearance, which tickles people's hearts, and the sailors in the live broadcast room howl one after another.

"What a beautiful young lady, she blushes, it's so cute!"

"Whoa, I can't stand it anymore!"

"This maid outfit is not open-chested, bad review!"

"It's better to be in another world, where can you find a blushing young lady now?"

......

The number of residents in the live broadcast room is now about fifteen thousand, and the barrage is a lot more than before, but with Norman's current mental power, it is completely able to withstand it, and there is no big problem.

At the same time, Isabella was answering Norman's question: "We haven't been in the city for a long time, there are bandits chasing after us all the time, and we are resupplying for the first time in half a month at the Tico Hunting Grounds. ”

Norman listened, thinking to himself: it seemed that the situation was worse than he had imagined.

During his time at Nicaro, especially after integrating into the Skull and Bones Society, he learned a lot about the upper class of the kingdom.

For example, at the beginning of the year, in addition to the sudden death of the old king, there was another major event, that is, Baishan, where the Holy See of the Father God is located, suffered a catastrophe, with countless casualties.

Most of the elite of the Father's Church are in Baishan, so even for the Father's Church, which has a big family, this catastrophe is a major event, and it is said that the Pope was even seriously injured and unable to travel, which is why the person who went to Santa Vita for the coronation was a saint and not the Pope.

And the Holy See suffered, and the kingdom was in a state of change, and the nobles of the kingdom were ready to move, and even dared to stir the tiger whiskers of the church.

However, the rotten ship still has three pounds of nails, and those nobles who do not want the saint to reach Santa Vita do not dare to blatantly stop the envoys, but only dare to do it in the way of "bandits".

This was Norman's previous analysis of the situation, but what he didn't expect was that these nobles had become more and more bold, and they could even force the envoys to be exhausted and not dare to venture to the cities of the Raki Territory to resupply - it could also be that Hardy and they knew through secret channels that the Raki Territory was no longer trustworthy.

If that's the case, it's even more terrifying.

However, there is still good news, that is, Archduke Roberts should still be on the side of the church, so Hardy and the others will go to Nicaro with the Akikari team. And it's only two days away from Nicaro, so no matter how you look at it, it should be a safe trip.

But for some reason, Norman always had a faint worry in his heart.

He would unconsciously think about the last time the Aether Labyrinth had happened, and that time the enemy had attacked at a time when they all thought it was safe.
