"No, I don't know any lady, miss, I don't have a place for you to stay!" The resolute attitude, accompanied by the sound of "bang!", Eve and the others were denied the request to stay overnight by the last family here. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Welcome to NORD. Pete had known this was going to happen, and he said to Eve, who seemed a little struggling to accept reality. "The people here don't have much interest in the noble lord, and I'm afraid your identity won't help you. ”

“...... Where's the village chief?" asked Eve, unconvinced, that Falst's energy had lost its usefulness here. "It's a pity that that's the village chief's house. Orlando pointed to the largest house they had first found. "We're still going to have to squeeze the wagon. Arthur said unconcernedly, it didn't make a difference to him, it just hurt Eve. However, Eve is also very adaptable, and after several days of traveling, she has long been accustomed to sleeping in the open. The crowd reluctantly returned to the carriage and waited for the dawn to come.

It was already dark, and Pete woke up early, looked at the people who were still asleep, and walked out lightly. He walked to the river and stimulated his face with the icy water to sober himself up. He looked at his own reflection in the water and couldn't help but fall into some memories of the past. He picked up a stone and threw it into the distance, causing seven waves on the surface of the river.

"I can jump thirteen times. At some point, Arthur appeared behind him, much to Pete's surprise. "Really? I always thought that no one could do more than seven. Pete was a little incredulous, because seven strokes was his limit.

Arthur walked up to him, picked up a pebble, and threw it into the distance, causing twelve waves on the water, and then he said helplessly: "I haven't played for a long time, and some hands are raw." ”

"Well, you win. Pete spread his hands and conceded defeat. "Huh...... Why do you get up so early, it's still a while before it dawns, you haven't had a good rest these days, right? Pete then asked, Arthur was very alert, and he didn't sleep when others were keeping vigil, so why didn't he take this rare opportunity to rest?

"Why don't you ask you why you get up so early? Arthur looked at Pete and stared straight at him, Pete understood what he meant, and said with some self-deprecation: "If you are locked up in prison for months, you will also cherish the time when you can breathe fresh air." ”

"Oh, is it?" said Arthur, displeased with his words. "Don't you notice? You always wake up early and stare at all sorts of things. A tree, a flower, a river, and the Germanic sword you picked up. Pete touched his saber, and he admitted it all but that.

"You have a lot of secrets, you have a lot of secrets, don't you, your background, your skills, and your mysterious master, Sir Dramo Hurt?" questioned Arthur, who didn't trust Pete. "But I don't care, I don't care whose house you are, it's your business, it's not about me. ”

"So, what do you want to do?" the corners of Pete's mouth curled, and he was not afraid of Arthur's provocation. "Eve is easily gullible, but I'm different. Arthur drew his bow and arrows, and pointed it at Pete. "If you do anything to betray her, I want you to remember that you will have my arrow in your throat. He said viciously, his eyes not joking.

"I have a deep doubt about it, and maybe it will stick in my eyebrows. Pete laughed, unconcerned about Arthur's threat.

"This distance will not. Arthur lowered his bow, and then picked up a stone, this time, stirring up fourteen waves on the water.

"You're really worried about your young lady. Pete said to Arthur, who turned away. "Now, it's your lady too. Arthur said without looking back.

"Ah, I miss my silk bed......" Eve reluctantly woke up, and if she had been in bed, she would have been in bed. "How long have I been asleep?"

"Soon, I just slept until noon. Arthur said, then pointed out the window. "See those people outside?"

Eve looked in the direction Arthur was pointing, and there was an extra carriage outside, apparently not long after arriving, and it was painted all over the body in a deep red, with a large eye printed on it, which made people shudder—that was the mark of the church of Muffylia!

"Hell, you're chasing us?" asked Eve, who had a lot of soldiers near the carriage, all of whom seemed to be well-trained, and if there was a fight, Eve wasn't much sure.

"No, they are on a pilgrimage, to Vayezeji. Arthur said, much to Eve's relief. "I think it would save a lot of trouble if we could go on the road with them. Orlando walked in and said to Eve. "I've talked to them, and they're all outsiders, and they're happy to hire someone who knows the place well as a guide. ”

"Does it sound like you're selling yourself to them?" Eve asked with a laugh, already guessing what was going on.

"I solemnly introduce to you Mr. Orlando Dragoch, who is known as the living map of Calradia. Orlando bowed solemnly and took off his hat.

"I calculated that if we hit the road together, we would arrive a few days later than expected, but it would be safer, at least the average little robber wouldn't dare to do anything with us. Arthur pulled out a map of Calradia out of nowhere, and pointed to Hart's location.

"Not only that, but I heard from the village chief that a convoy was repaired here a few days ago, and from the description, it looks like the people you're looking for. Pete sat in front of the carriage and chewed a stick of air-dried meat in his mouth. "They're on their way to Hart, as we suspected. ”

"Damn, if the horses were still around, we could catch up with them!" Eve thought to her dejection that Orlando's horse had been left in Fort Ruda, and that the only means of transportation at the moment was the carriage that had been stolen from someone unknown.

"At least we're sure we're not looking for the wrong way. Arthur said, and then he heard shouts coming from outside the window.

"They're on their way, let's keep up. Pete said, and Eve nodded, and he followed the carriage in his hand.

"That must be a person of noble status, with so many people escorting, he can rely on these people to capture Oak Village. Eve silently counted the number of soldiers around her, there were more than twenty of them, and their horsemanship was not bad.

"Yes, there is also a man of high status here, only three people escorting him, and they all met halfway. Arthur directly punctured Eve's status quo. "I didn't know I would chase so far...... Eve also felt that she was a little inconsiderate, as she went deeper and deeper into Nord, her family's influence became smaller and smaller, and she should have led more people to travel.

"At least you have a money bag with you, and when you pass through Waye Zeji, you may be able to hire a few mercenaries and buy some good horses by the way. Arthur pushed away the bag that had fallen on top of him, and the bag slammed into Orlando, causing him to scramble: "Be careful! ”

"Yes, this carriage is indeed too crowded, and I still have a dozen gold dinars on me, so I can buy quite a few things. Eve agrees with the proposal, but also has some selfish motives - the legendary head of the Swadian Knights, who unites Rhodok and Nord, a man whose name has been forgotten, and whose sixteen knights with special skills are recruited from taverns in various regions. Eve also has some expectations in her heart, maybe she can find a few suitable people to expand her team. In fact, unconsciously, there are more and more candidates for her members.

Thinking of this, she looked at Orlando and Pete, and the wonderful light in her eyes made Orlando feel uncomfortable, and also made Pete feel a chill when he didn't come.

"Speaking of which, without a formal canonization ceremony, she is still the head of an empty knight order. Arthur couldn't help but smile a little when he thought of this. "It's so hard...... Aristocrats, there are many more to consider than commoners. ”

...... Three days passed, and thanks to the escort of soldiers and the guidance of Orlando, there were almost no robbers encountered along the way. The only men who had the courage to stop them were two emaciated old men, trembling with rusty logging axes, who had taken six dinars from them, for the pilgrims had mercy on them and had rewarded them.

"It's finally here, and this is Waye Zeji. Orlando pointed to a town ahead that was no less prosperous than Kyle Redan. Vayezegi is a major transportation point and was only a small village before the unification of Nord by Swadia. Since the opening of the trade route with the Swadias, it has developed rapidly, and in less than ten years, it has become one of the few large towns in Nord, not only the walls are made of stones, but also the advanced sewer system, which is absolutely not seen in Svadia.

"Ox carts, why do you use them?" asked Eve, seeing that there were many ox carts around, far outnumbering horse-drawn carts.

"How can Nord have so many horses, my lady, all Nord's horses were bought from Svadia or Vigiavi. Orlando explained. "Ox carts are their best means of transportation, and even the nobles still use them in many places. ”

"For the first time, I knew that Nord was so different from us, too much. "When Eve was very young, she used to hear stories about the Nord warriors, and she used to want to be here, but now she is very disappointed.

"I think it's much better here than in Svadia. Pete said suddenly. "At least that's what I thought before the Maphilia Church. ”

"Guys, we seem to be in trouble. Before Eve could refute, Orlando, who was driving, said with some solemnity. Eve poked her head out and looked ahead, where she saw a group of Nord warriors, checking the ox carts and wagons on the road one by one.

"That's Ruda Bluebeard Valor's men, a bunch of fierce lunatics and Marfilia's most loyal supporters, and I think we'd better hide this bastard gentleman. ”
