Chapter 514: Far Away

Just as there are contradictions between the various races on the continent, there are also irreconcilable contradictions in the ideology between the underground races living in the dark regions and the many races living on the surface, and even the most humble goblins dare to laugh at the underground races, even if the other party is a dark elf.

Killing, blood, and death are the main themes between the two camps, but the huge resources underground are too coveted by the surface people, and the benefits of 200% are enough to make people take risks, not to mention that there is a vast area on the surface of the ground, so the surface people have spent generations of efforts and thousands of lives to create a trade route.

Of course, those who have the courage to form a business group to take this trade route are all wealthy nobles, and only they have the ability to take huge risks.

Because the Lombard League and the Saint Laurent Empire were close to Corsica, it was all the merchants who had been running this trade route for several years and had established good trade relations with the underground races.

There are three known routes from the surface to the underground, one is north of the Great Wall, deep in the Siberian ice field, where it is said that there are various fierce indigenous races, and the climate is so harsh that it has been abandoned.

The other is in the territory of the Zhenxi Demon Empire, but it is also a dead end, because the people of this empire are all people who believe in evil gods, cruelty, murder, and cold-blooded are their names, they like to cut off the heads of their enemies, and sacrifice their hearts and souls to the evil gods in order to gain strength, and meet some extreme religious madmen, even their own families will use sacrifices, so no one likes to deal with them. Moreover, the seven holy wars in the history of the Western Earth Continent were all wars between the races of the continent and the races of the evil god camp.

The third is to enter the underground through the demonic rift on Corsica, but the mortality rate is still extremely high, as long as you look at the merchant group is composed of magicians above the war level, and you have to lose three people after each trade to know its horror.

Sitting in the carriage, Downton drank coconut water and listened to the introduction of the tour guide, Hu Tao lay on the window of the car, curiously looking around, full of curiosity about everything.

This is already Saint Laurent territory. Two days ago. Andrea took Elaine to the capital, Paris, while Downton took Walnut and Juliet south to Monaco, from where they took a boat to Corsica.

The Underworld Realm is too dangerous, and it is known as the fourth order of adjudication to protect itself. So Downton asked the Celestial people to stay in the dungeon to practice.

Jackson's strength is too low. If you come, you will be sent to death. Quasimodo walked out of the thousand-year-old altar and had a good talent, but if he didn't cultivate, he would be pulled down. Downton not only regarded it as the main force, but also relied on it to deter ogres, guard the main city, and be in charge of the security team, so he kept it.

With Downton's plan, who didn't bring it, but Hu Tao secretly hid in the trunk of the carriage and followed, and when he found out, little Lori cried and made trouble and hanged herself, so that he couldn't bear to drive her away.

Also with Xia Luo is Xia Luo, who has to borrow the large library and independent laboratory to crack the recipe of the Dragon Guardian Elixir, so she must follow Downton, Juliet because of her illness, she has to be treated by the Wise Wolf every few days, so she also comes along, and at the same time takes care of Downton's diet and daily life as a maid.

Downton was worried about Juliet's safety, but the girl came with an iron heart, and released Di Maria, indeed, with the high demon following, her safety can be guaranteed, so the four-person team was formed, but Charlotte did not show up most of the time.

"Speaking of Corsica, we must praise our great majesty Louis XIV, whose wise leadership enabled the great Saint Laurent Faris Empire to defeat the Lombard League and take this treasure land. ”

The tour guide is a Saint Laurent native, so when it comes to these wars, the history of the war is full of eyebrows, after all, the Lombard League is also one of the nine empires, and the Saint Laurent beat him without the power to fight back, signed a treaty of permanent lease of Corsica, which is also one of the national shames.

Downton smiled and didn't speak, at that time, the period of the Loren War was the Lombard Civil War, and Saint Laurent had completely picked up a big bargain.

Of the nine empires, Lombardy was the only allied empire, and they were made up of dozens of principalities, and since there were no kings, most decisions were decided by a parliament of archdukes.

Because of territory, ethnicity, political culture, etc., Lombardy has always been divided into two major factions, the north and the south, and there is a lot of trouble all day long, and even parliamentarians fight in parliament is the norm.

"A bunch of hillbillies!"

The tour guide saw that Downton did not echo him, coupled with their foreign accents, and immediately thought of contempt.

Downton didn't bother to deal with such people, put up with the rolling eyes and noise along the way, and after a long five-day journey, he arrived in Monaco.

Standing on the main road of the city, looking at the crowd one after another, Downton sighed with emotion, this place is more prosperous than the royal capital of Frankfurt.

"There are so many people!"

Hu Tao raised her hand to look at it, she couldn't see anything, and she simply took a vertical leap and rode onto Downton's neck, in fact, she wanted to ride an empty ray, but unfortunately Downton didn't let it, saying that it was too ostentatious.

"It's a big town in Yves Saint Laurent, and it's a port city, so it's not surprising that it's crowded. Downton carried the disguised suitcase, pulled the walnut, and walked to the shipping board.

The hall was overcrowded, with a long queue in front of the fifteen ticket gates, and the noise was so loud that it hurt people's ears, and there were some stubborn guards at the entrance and around the hall to guard against emergencies.

"You go to the restaurant opposite to eat something, take a break by the way, I'll go to the queue to buy tickets!"

Juliet was very diligent, and after arranging the trivial matters, she immediately picked a small team to rank behind.

"Be careful!"

Downton was about to refuse, but seeing Juliet's pleading look, he sighed and gave up the dispute.

The girl wants to repay Downton, so she keeps everything in order and does things desperately.

Downton actually admires Juliet's self-esteem and self-love character, and strives to reciprocate favors when he receives them, rather than licking his face and continuing to ask for them.

"Didn't Andrea give you a ring, why not?" said Hu Tao, shoving a toffee into her mouth, her face puzzled.

Downton wore three rings on his fingers, the one left by his mother, the one that Homer became, and one that was given by the female priestess.

Andrea said that as long as you show this ring in Saint Laurent, you can get a lot of privileges, after all, this is people's home field, but it is a pity that Downton has always been a commoner and is not used to enjoying this right.

"Got it, a ticket for the six o'clock in the afternoon!"

It was more than two hours before Juliet returned, and although she looked tired, she was not bored at all, and she was happy to be able to do something for Downton.

"Drink some water, what to eat?"

Downton helped Juliet pull out the chair, although it was a master-servant relationship, but he never regarded the girl as a servant.

After lunch, Hu Tao couldn't wait to go shopping, and Downton wanted to rest, but was dragged away by Little Lori.

Juliet was a little happy, especially after getting the hair ornament from Downton, and the smile on her face couldn't be suppressed.

She felt that after suffering for more than ten years, she had finally begun to become happy.

When the first sunset appeared in the sky, the three Downtons rushed to the waiting room, and there were passengers waiting everywhere to get on board.

"Over there!"

Hu Tao shouted as he pointed to a sign that read 128, and the people waiting there were travelers to Corsica.

There was no seat left, Juliet put the suitcase on the floor, sat Downton, and then asked him what he needed, and the attentive care made the people around him look envious.

After a period of recuperation, Juliet is no longer yellow and thin, and her beautiful appearance with red hair can be called a beauty.

"There's still half an hour!" Downton took out his pocket watch and looked at it, hesitated, but walked over to a strong man, "Give me the seat, it's yours." ”

Looking at the gold coin in Downton's hand, the people around him were stunned for a moment, and then a young man stood up, "Come and sit." ”

"It's mine. The strong man reacted, snatched the gold coin, glared at the young man again, and then got up.

"Loser!"

The passengers whispered, a gold coin is worth ten days' income for a newsboy, he actually used it to buy a seat, what a loser, you must know that Lu Dao said that there is still half an hour to sail, even if you stand for half a day, no one will die.

"Sit down, you're not in good health, don't work too hard. ”

Regardless of Juliet's refusal, Downton simply pressed her to her seat.

The voices around them disappeared all at once, and some of the women glanced at their male companions, blaming them for not understanding the amorous feelings, if everyone was standing, it would be fine, but Downton showed a gentlemanly demeanor, making them feel that the girl who was cared for was simply happy to die.

Juliet felt those gazes, her head bowed, the roots of her ears flushed, how she wanted this moment to last.

A long, shrill whistle sounded, and then a sweet girl began to announce that cruise ship 128 to Corsica was about to arrive, and passengers were asked to line up to board the ship.

The crowd stood up in unison, crowded towards the port, and the three of Downton were almost scattered, he quickly picked up the walnut on his back and grabbed Juliet, "Go after the last one!"

"Hmm!"

Feeling the temperature of Downton's palm, Juliet was shy.

The ramp of the cruise ship was lowered, so the people below crowded even more, and Downton noticed that the two thieves were deliberately squeezing around and stealing a few wallets, and he was about to stop it, when a loud roar sounded from behind.

"I'm going to buy a ticket to Corsica, five gold coins more than the normal fare, which of you wants to sell it?"

A man stood next to him, shouting loudly, while deliberately raising his hands and waving a handful of golden tickets.

Everyone looked back and watched, but no one traded, no one was stupid, it was already dark, if you didn't get on the ship, you would have to stay in Monaco, and it would cost a lot at that time.

"Okay, I'll have ten more gold coins per ticket, and I'll need fifty tickets in total, on a first-come, first-served basis!" the man shouted.

This time someone moved, because staying in a cheap hotel plus food, a night is only seven or eight gold coins, so there has to be a profit, those who are not in a hurry travelers do not mind waiting for an extra night. (To be continued......)
