After walking for almost a whole day, when the sun was setting in the west, the destination of the trip was also close at hand.

It is worth mentioning that not long after Michael's "tryst" with Oriana ended, he left first. Because the so-called monster in the clouds actually appeared inadvertently.

Leach didn't know what it was, but judging from the corner of it, it was certainly not an unknown creature, but more like a UFO, and it was very large.

"Little Leach, my baby is still parked in the harbor of Ambrera, and I may not be able to get out of it lately, so I'll lend it to you for a while. Before leaving, Michael said.

The "baby" he was talking about was the guiding airship that Leach had coveted for a long time. According to his own words, this guided airship has made him pour a lot of effort and financial resources, and it is definitely one of the best in the entire continent, and the performance is absolutely not to mention.

On more than one occasion, Leach wanted to drive it himself and experience what it was like to experience the high performance that was blown up by Michael, but none of them succeeded, so when Michael's words came out, Leach had the feeling of being hit by a pie falling from the sky.

Like Leach, Lena, who heard the news, was also full of joy, but Michael, who knew her very well, suddenly said viciously: "Little Lena, if you dare to sell my baby, when I come back, I will take Wright to raid your house, do you believe it or not?"

Then, instead of feeling embarrassed, Lena sighed in disappointment.

The town of gray thorns, named after a very special kind of gray thorn grass near the town, is the end of the trip.

The closer she got to her destination, Saya's mood became lower and lower, but because of the presence of Oriana, an outsider, Leach, who noticed this, did not come forward to ask, but silently remembered it in his heart, planning to talk to her after he separated from Oriana.

Once in town, Leach clearly felt that it was different from Ambrera.

The most obvious point is that the people here are very strong, and not long after he arrived, Leach has already seen several riots caused by disagreement.

And the guards here are also very rough, and for those who fight, no matter who is right or wrong, they all come forward and punch and kick for a while, until the two sides of the brawl do not want to fight anymore, and then they leave.

After a little inquiry, Leach learned that this Grey Thorn Town was not a place where good men and women gathered, but a nest of those who committed adultery and had a criminal record, and the Empire seemed to have acquiesced to the use of Grey Thorn Town as a place of exile, so the riots here were the most common thing.

Of course, it's not all bad guys, there are normal residents. And the main task of the convoy is to ensure the safety of these ordinary residents.

The two sides of the fight just now were all prisoners who had been exiled here, so the escort team only had a fight. Once anyone who wants to bully the normal residents here, it is time to see blood, and no matter whether the circumstances are serious or not, they will be punished with capital punishment.

Because of this, even though it is a chaotic place, there are still residents living here, so that the town of Grey Thorns does not really become a prison.

After entering the town, Saya also bought a hat to wear on his head, as if he was afraid of being recognized by someone. Although this hat did not match her light armor and looked even more eye-catching, no one wanted to find out.

In the town of Grey Thorns, there are often people who are dressed like Saya come and go, and these people are usually sent here by big families from elsewhere to carry out some shady trades, so the residents and guards here have long been surprised.

After the Adventure Hunters Guild handed over the mission, Leach couldn't wait to part ways with Oriana, and with the warnings of Wright and Michael, plus his own personal experience, Leach really didn't want to have anything to do with her anymore. But Tali was reluctant to give up, and she almost burst into tears.

Although the sun had not yet set, the group decided to stay in the town for one night and leave tomorrow morning. Either way, a soft, comfortable bed is always a little more appealing than a wet grass in the wild.

After having dinner together, everyone decided to go their separate ways.

Lena and Tali go shopping to find some good things at a good price, while Leach is still worried about Saya's unusual behavior before, so he stays at the hotel with her.

"Saya, can I come in?" After putting some miscellaneous items in his room, Leach knocked on Saya's door.

Soon, the door opened, and Saya, dressed in casual clothes, appeared inside.

"Leach, is there something wrong?" said Saya as she let Leach into the house.

"That's right, I noticed that you don't seem to be in high spirits, is there something wrong, if you can, tell me. ”

"You've noticed, I'm sorry, I'll adjust my mood as soon as possible, and I won't hold everyone back. ”

Leach frowned, he didn't come here to ask the teacher: "Saya, if you have something, just say it, it will be better to say it, just like I did that night." We're friends, aren't we?"

"I'm ......" Saya looked a little struggling, but under Leach's encouraging gaze, he spoke slowly.

"I'm from the Empire, I've said that a long time ago. In fact, my hometown is in the capital of the empire. When I ran away from home, in addition to being dissatisfied with my inability to get fair treatment, more importantly, it was to escape from marriage. ”

"Running away?" for some reason, Leach felt a little uncomfortable.

"Yes, escape from marriage. Saya didn't seem to notice that Leach's mood was wrong, and continued, "It's not accurate to say that you are running away from marriage, but it's actually an engagement. My father and brother were bent on using me as a bargaining chip to strengthen our family's position. I was betrothed to the eldest son of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, a man I had never met. ”

As soon as he heard that it was just an engagement, Leach's mood inexplicably improved again.

I only heard Saya continue: "Naturally, I didn't agree, but my father and brother seemed to be obsessed, and instead of forcing me to hold an engagement ceremony, only my mother respected my choice. It's just that she is soft-spoken, and she can't shake her father's decision at all. Eventually, I thought about leaving home and pursuing the life I wanted. ”

"With the help of my mother, I managed to escape, and this escape was a full three years. Just now, I was just a little homesick and a little missing my mother. ”
