Chapter 648: Travel
Naturally, Mage Edwin would not be so reckless as to go to the Cult of Light to make trouble, but the news of the Pope's coronation had already been sent back to the Dark Council through a magical teleportation, and even the Cult of the Undead had been notified.
The coronation ceremony is extremely sacred to the Church of Light, and if this ceremony can be disrupted, it will be an extremely heavy blow to the entire Church of Light, both in terms of prestige and faith, and it will have far-reaching significance, which is very clear to both the Dark Speaker and the Pope of the Cult of the Dead.
Disrupting the coronation ceremony has become the top priority of the two dark organizations, and even the task of investigating the whereabouts of Swift and Joe, as well as co-opting the bewitching Grand Duke of Pritz, has been put aside. Countless mages dressed in black and gray robes haunted the continent, and their destination was the same, that is, the Bright Holy City of the Sect of Light.
And Leo, who went to the Holy City of Light to watch the ceremony, couldn't lead his legion to go this time, otherwise it would not be to watch the ceremony, but to start a war. Therefore, Leo plans to only bring a few heroes to form a team, so as not to attract attention, and secondly, it is more convenient to act.
This time, Sidney will definitely not let Leo leave alone, and Leo, who is in love, naturally does not want to be separated from Sidney again, so Sidney is of course included in the team list.
Feng Xifan and Achilles naturally can't miss their superb skills, but because Mage Merlin has to preside over the reception affairs of the Kingdom of Lorraine, he has no time to go to the Holy City of Light, and Leo considers that those dark mages and necromancers may also go to the Holy City of Light to make trouble, so Immorton has become the preferred hero of the law system.
As for the Baodong dregs, Leo left him in Pritz City, after all, the witchcraft of the Baodong slag was too weird and murderous, and Leo only went to watch the ceremony instead of slaughtering the city, so it was not suitable to bring the Baodong slag with him.
Don't look at the fact that there are only five people, but Leo is not worried about the safety along the way, no matter which of the three heroes is taken out, he has the ability to shock a country, plus Leo and Sidney are also quite extraordinary, it is estimated that no guy who is not long-sighted will dare to provoke them.
Bishop Anthony, the envoy of the Church of Light, took his leave and returned to the Church of Light to report the news after confirming Leo's itinerary, and Master Edwin and his dark mages also quietly left Pritz City, and it is unknown whether they will return to the Dark Council or go to the Church of Light.
Located at the southwestern tip of the Alpha Continent, the Cult of Light is surrounded by dozens of kingdoms and principalities, large and small, separating it from the Holy Griffin Empire and the Paris Empire. With the buffer of those small countries, the major empires on the continent have not been at war for hundreds of years, and the people are mostly living and working in peace and contentment.
On this way, Leo first passed through the Paris Empire in the southwest, but unlike the previous march with his troops, they moved forward leisurely as if they were playing in the mountains and rivers. The different styles and customs of the Paris Empire also opened Leo's eyes.
However, Sidney kept urging Leo to hurry as soon as possible along the way, not because Sidney was in a hurry to rush to the Holy City of Light, but because she had a faint premonition in her heart that she was unwilling to let Leo stay in Paris.
It has to be said that a woman's intuition is very keen, and it is also very magical. When Leo and his party followed a caravan to the small town of Bourne, the western border city of the Paris Empire, as mercenaries, a group of royal knights of Paris in fresh clothes and angry horses escorted an extremely luxurious carriage speeding past them.
At the moment when the two teams of people and horses mismatched, a crisp and pleasant exclamation sounded from the carriage in the royal knights' ranks: "Your Excellency the Grand Duke Leo!"
Hearing this extremely familiar exclamation, Leo and Sidney both frowned slightly almost at the same time. Sidney bit Sakura's lip secretly, secretly hating in his heart that it was really ghostly, but Leo was secretly sighing in his heart that trouble was coming to the door again!
The luxurious carriage slowly stopped in front of the caravan, and a bright and charming girl jumped out of the carriage, but a royal knight next to her immediately stepped forward to dissuade her: "Your Royal Highness, the identity of these people is unknown, and you are a noble woman, you should be careful!"
Princess Sophia ignored the royal knight's dissuasion, ran to Leo with a spring breeze on her face, and said to Leo with a slight breath: "Grand Duke Leo, it's really you, I didn't expect such a fate!
After speaking, Princess Sophia said to her as if she had just seen Sidney: "Sister Sidney, you are also here, now it's okay, you finally have company along the way!"
Before Leo and Sidney could speak, Princess Sophia stuck out her tongue as if she were cute, pointed at the royal knights who were guarding her, and said, "Those elm pimples are so stuffy that they almost make people sick!"
Without speaking, Sidney turned to look at Leo, but there was a look of rejection in her eyes. Of course, Leo didn't want to be entangled by Princess Sophia, but both of them were heading to the Holy City of Light, and they couldn't think of any good excuse to refuse for a while.
But fortunately, behind Sophia, a royal knight captain came over and saluted Princess Sophia slightly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you can't act alone, we must ensure your safety, please don't embarrass us!"
Princess Sophia said to the royal knight captain unconcernedly: "Sprint knight Chief, don't worry, with the famous Grand Duke Leo here, how can there be any insecurity? Besides, even if I encounter any danger, I believe that Grand Duke Leo will definitely protect me, right?
In the last sentence, Princess Sophia's pretty eyes stared at Leo, and her voice was full of coquettishness. Noticing a chill rising from Sidney's body, Leo's face twitched slightly, and he immediately replied: "I'm very sorry, Your Royal Highness Princess Sophia, you also saw that I don't have many guards around me, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to take care of you along the way, and it is safest for you to be by your knight's side." ”
Leo's words made the Sprint Knight Captain feel good immediately, and his gaze at Leo softened a lot. The most important thing is that the resentment from Sidney around Leo has also been alleviated a lot, which makes Leo's heart slightly relieved.
"I don't, I don't, I'm going to go with you!" Surprisingly, Princess Sophia was so petty that she had to follow Leo whenever she said anything.
