It was snowing heavily today, and Chris was not in a good state, so Leon ordered him to have a good day of rest, and in addition to taking care of Rachel, he also had to sleep well. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The journey back was still difficult.

"I just hope this snow stops soon. Leon looked up at the sky, no one likes bad weather, especially this day can be called bad.

"Your Highness, I should say thank you. Riley was supported by the prince and walked forward step by step, but he remembered the matter of delivering food.

"You mean?" Leon knew when he saw Riley's look that she wasn't trying to say something like a little thing.

"Deliver food to the townspeople of Gooding. Riley stopped and stood in the snow looking at the prince.

"Your kindness should be satisfied. Lyons also stopped, which was not difficult for Ravenwood, and it was a good thing to help the hungry and cold.

He is the lord of Ravenwood, and it seems that the life and death of people in other towns have nothing to do with him, but he also has an identity, the third son of King Jamie, Prince Lyon.

Gooding Town does not belong to him, but belongs to the territory of King Jamie, and he is doing something for his father.

"But His Highness has to go there in person. Riley lowered his head, hiding his emotions in the white snow.

"I went for a reason and a purpose. Leon decided to do so after much consideration.

"What else is the reason?" Riley looked up, the prince's words always surprised her, but when she thought about it, wasn't the prince such a person.

"Let's talk as we go. Leon glanced at the sky, and if he stood here, both of them would turn into snowmen.

Leon chose to go on his own because Ravenwood looked good, but very few people actually could use it.

The main helpers were York and Chris. Chris is good at handling official business, etc., but when it comes to force, it is almost useless, which is why it is left to York to go out and solicit the poor.

This time, York had to recruit the poor once again, and there was no one else to take charge of the problem of escorting food.

"Aren't there a lot of people in the patrol and the archer battalion?" Riley turned his head to look at the prince, their martial arts were indeed not as good as York's, but they were better than ordinary people.

"They have only been practicing martial arts with York for a while, and they are all just simple townspeople, and escorting food seems to be delivering food to the townspeople, but if something happens, they don't have enough ability to deal with it. "Leon has considered promoting some people, but the time has not yet come, and he must train for a while.

"You mean there's danger?" Riley was a little worried, why did the prince go when he knew it was dangerous?

"It can happen. "Leon wasn't sure.

The townspeople of Gooding are hungry and cold, what will happen if food is delivered to them, whether everyone will receive it in harmony or fight for survival, Leon does not dare to say what will happen and what will not happen before the big event of life.

"Then you have to send more people to protect you. Riley suddenly felt shocked, he was too inconsiderate.

"Too many people can cause unnecessary trouble. "Leon didn't want to go with a lot of fanfare in the first place, after all, it was someone else's territory, and if the lord and the earl of White Mist City had a temper, it would be bothersome to say that he was invading.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry. Riley felt that he had caused a problem for the Prince, who had agreed in front of everyone, and now it seemed inappropriate to regret it.

"I never blame a person for her kindness. Leon smiled, Riley was used to thinking about others, and that shouldn't be her shortcoming.

"But ......," Riley wanted to say something.

"In addition to that, I have another purpose. Leon interrupted her, and in order to dispel her thoughts, it was necessary to say something else.

Lyon went south this time, and the delivery of food was superficial, but there was another purpose in private.

"Recruit townspeople?" was the only thing Riley could think of, what else was worth the prince going south besides the population?

"No, it's pathfinding. "The purpose in Lyon's head is not population.

Ravenwood currently has only one external transportation, and that is to rely on water transportation.

Whether it is the movement of people or the sale of goods, it is all carried out through the Doin, but this is a potential problem.

Along the Doin River is the White Mist City, which is now cut off from trade with Ravenwood, but the water traffic is still free, and one day the Earl will block the waterway, and Ravenwood will be in a desperate situation.

To avoid this, Lyon had to find an alternative mode of transportation, and for now, the only option was to travel south by land.

Since ancient times, there has been no overland transportation in Ravenwood, so it takes a lot of effort to open up a new road, and some of the details need to be decided by yourself, this time by some of the older townspeople who have some knowledge of the terrain and terrain, and can ask them on the way, and can also go on field trips.

The most important point is that the road to the south will definitely pass through the town of Guding, but it is a question whether the lord of Guding will agree to this matter, and Leon makes a second decision here to investigate whether the road can be built around the town of Guting.

The northwestern part of the kingdom was mostly barren, with many small towns not bordering each other, but bordering each other, with borderlands in between, nominally public territories belonging to the king.

To the west of Ravenwood is a large area of forest, and only a small half of the town's territory can be seen on the map, and the rest belongs to the king. The same is true of the town of Goodin, where the wasteland to the west is available for unconditional use.

"Your Highness, why didn't you discuss such an important matter with the Knight of York?" Riley blinked, unable to believe that the prince was hiding such a big secret.

"He's got important things to do, shouldn't we make him worry less?" Leon asked rhetorically, a question that hardly needed an answer.

"I see. Riley quickly realized that the knight had always made it his first priority to protect the prince's safety, and if he knew about this purpose, he would definitely not be able to go out with peace of mind.

"And will you keep this a secret?" Leon didn't really need to ask to know what Riley was thinking.

"Hmm. Riley nodded, the prince did everything for the town, and he had no position against it.

"Let's go, it's all snow on our shoulders. Leon shook his shoulders, and it only took a few moments for him to look like this.

"Well, let's go. This time, Riley walked in the snow with the prince in his arms.

Leaves a pair of clear footprints on the snow behind them.
