Chapter 67: The Mission
Andy and Catherine leave Dallas City and head south along the official road. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the process of hurrying, Andy did not know that Catherine had also quietly released two ghosts, namely McKen and the little maid of the City Lord's Mansion.
Due to its peculiar limitations, ghosts can only move within a certain range and cannot leave the territory of Dallas City.
After spending the night in a tavern next to the official road, they arrived in Finland City, south of Dallas, the next evening.
Upon entering Finland City, Andy and Catherine find that the lights are being lit up, which reminds Andy of the last Dallas festival.
Andy asked passers-by what the holiday was today, but the answer he got was that it was a celebration for the queen's accession to the throne.
It is said that the old king died of illness in the palace a few days ago. The eldest princess presided over the state funeral while hearing the sad news of Prince Will's assassination.
The eldest princess was then ordered to take charge of the kingdom, and within two days, with the assistance of Marshal Vaughan, she captured the assassin of Prince Will.
Originally, some people created rumors that the eldest princess killed her father and brother to ascend the throne, but later the patriarchs of the four major families in the royal capital all came out to testify for the eldest princess and provided the old king's edict of succession.
The edict was written by the old king himself, and once he died, it would be passed on to his eldest daughter, Linda Elam.
Whether it was the wizards of Grim College or the nobles of the Royal Council, they had seen the edict with their own eyes, and many had seen the old king's handwriting, and they could confirm that the edict was indeed genuine. Moreover, the wife of the old king, the mother of Linda Elam, also confirmed the authenticity of the edict.
Even a sorcerer who was proficient in prophecy was invited to speak the language, which confirmed the authenticity of the edict.
Since the old king had long intended to be known as Linda Elam, her reason for sending assassins to kill her brother was untenable, so the rumors were self-defeating.
At this time, the new queen also used thunderous means. Captured a lot of enemy spies who spread rumors and deliberately undermined the stability of the Elamite Kingdom.
The world takes funerals far less seriously than Andy's previous life, and even the funeral of a king ends in a day.
But this world pays more attention to festivals, celebrations, weddings, and other celebrations than on the earth in previous lives.
So the next celebration of the queen's accession to the throne was very lively even in Finlandtown, far away from the royal capital, just in time for Andy and Catherine, who had arrived in a hurry.
After a short stroll around Finland with Catherine, they found a hotel to stay in, and the next day they had to continue on their way.
The next day, Andy and Catherine were about to leave the city when they found the city gate blocked.
A large convoy was slowly leaving the city, and when Andy inquired, he learned that it was a mission sent by the local lord to send a congratulatory gift for the queen's accession to the throne.
When Andy and Catherine left Dallas, they only bought a rough map from a merchant who had been to the royal capital, and there were many vague places on it. Originally, he had planned to inquire all the way to the royal capital, but now he couldn't help but be overjoyed to see the delegation that was also going to the royal capital, and he decided to follow this team from a distance.
The horse that Catherine had been educated was really extraordinary, and it automatically followed the back of the front line unhurriedly, without Andy driving it.
Andy and Catherine stayed in the carriage very leisurely, without the step-by-step crisis in Dallas, Andy's nerves relaxed, and he did not rush to meditate, but chatted with Catherine while opening the window of the carriage to look at the scenery of the other world.
I walked for most of the day without encountering the city again, or even a tavern. There is also less and less farmland around it, replaced by patches of wilderness.
Andy was bored when he suddenly noticed that something seemed to be wrong with the team in front of him, and a pair of fierce birds with wings about a foot long were attacking the team of the Mission.
One of the ferocious birds took advantage of a soldier's unnoticeable grasp of his neck and flew into the sky.
The ferocious bird grabbed the soldier and flew into the distance, and after pulling up enough height, it dropped the soldier as soon as it let go of its claws, and then grabbed the corpse of the fallen soldier and flew into the distance.
Another fierce bird attacking the convoy was stopped by a young man, dressed in half-length light armor and wielding a peculiarly shaped thin sword.
After the attack of the ferocious bird was in vain, it rose in height.
It surveyed the situation, and when it saw that it was a hard bone, it suddenly tilted its head and saw Andy's carriage hanging far behind the convoy.
The ferocious fowl swooped down on Andy's carriage.
Andy chuckled when he saw this scene, and he blessed himself with witchcraft such as "Light Body Technique", "Wind Walking Technique", and "Swift as the Wind".
When the fierce bird was about to pounce on the carriage, Andy jumped to the same position as the fierce bird, and then "Sword Skill: Shun Chop" beheaded the fierce bird with a single sword.
Sword Skill: Shun Slash is basically an advanced version of Sword Momentum: Sweep, so Andy is extremely easy to use.
He quickly dodged the splashing blood, and his body slowly fell under the blessing of the light body technique......
Andy slightly controlled his body and made a 360-degree turn in the process of falling, the wind stirred his robe and made a strong sound, he felt like a fairy in the world.
When he finally landed safely, Andy was silent as he looked at the blood on the sword.
He blew slightly with a lonely expression, and bright red blood beads slid down the blade of the sword, and the sword body of the Sword of Judgment was as smooth as a mirror, leaving no blood behind.
Andy smiled at Catherine, revealing a line of white teeth shining in the sunlight......
At this time, he couldn't help but feel a slight regret for not having long flowing hair.
He was about to say something to Catherine, but noticed that Catherine's little paws were halfway drawn, and Andy hurriedly put away his forced posture.
Before he could speak, he heard the applause of "pap, pap, pap" not far away. Then a voice came.
"Wonderful, really wonderful, I didn't expect that in this wilderness, where there is no wind and no moon, you can also see such heroic and chic characters as Brother Tai, it is the luck of Sansheng"
Andy followed the voice and saw that he was the young man in the front of the team who was holding a rapier against the ferocious bird.
It was only when he got closer that Andy could see the young man's full picture.
He still looks a little handsome, but he is very sassy in his dress.
A half-body armor shone with silver and dazzling light. The scabbard of the rapier at his waist is also inlaid with rubies. I don't know what to do with my brown hair, and it looks very shiny. I don't know what was painted on my face, and it was shining with a layer of white flowers in the sun.
Andy was about to respond to him when he watched Catherine's little paw in the drawn circle, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
The feet of the young man suddenly stumbled!
