The two of them are the same age, they are both sixteen or seventeen years old, but their appearance is very strong, Alyssa is neatly dressed, beautiful and generous, while Ye Xun is dressed in a dirty black robe, full of wind and frost.
The two stand together, it is simply a classic combination of beauty and beggar.
But despite this, Alyssa didn't underestimate the young boy next to her at all, and the scene of lightning surrounding the other party's gestures just now still lingered in her mind.
Ye Xun walked quickly, as for whether the princess behind him could keep up, it was not within his scope of concern.
Now Ye Xun is thinking about how to complete this deal, according to Sandru, the other party will help him attract most of the pursuers while contacting the rebels, and the two sides agreed to meet in Deadwood County, which is close to the Elven Forest.
"It's not close. Ye Xun looked at the map he had just gotten from Sandru.
Starting from the Black Mist Castle, continue to walk west, passing through three large counties and dozens of cities, in order to reach the destination, in Ye Xun's eyes, it is no different from learning scriptures from the West Heaven, there is a feeling of entering a pit.
"I'm just too soft-hearted, and I'm fooled into getting on a thief ship with just a few words. Ye Xun scratched his head, glanced at the "little burden" beside him again, and sighed in his heart.
"Lord Archmagician, are you going to Black Mist Castle? Can you not go?" Alyssa, who was originally quiet, grabbed Ye Xun's sleeve at this time and asked softly, with a little fear in her voice.
"Of course. . . No, after all, we need to take a break, and some travel essentials are still needed. Ye Xun said without looking back.
"But that would be dangerous, the lord of the Black Mist Castle is called Mambaroor, and he is my distant cousin, an ambitious man, and because of this, Sandru and I did not go. Alyssa explained Ye Xun in detail, for fear that the other party would not understand the situation.
"Your cousin can't be trusted, it seems that your father's level of governance is not good, I'm afraid he doesn't want to listen to the voices of his subjects at all. ā
As soon as Ye Xun's words were finished, he saw the girl next to him lower her head, Ye Xun estimated that he guessed eight or nine and ten.
"All in all, you can't go to Black Mist Castle, I don't want to go hungry. After Ye Xun finished speaking, he continued to walk forward.
"Master Mage, what do you think makes a good king? Alyssa seemed to be still silent on the previous question, and asked uncertainly, with her head down.
"Call me Ye Xun, I don't know how to govern the country, but at least I must be able to listen to the loyal words of others. Ye Xun said indifferently, this kind of big truth came to him as soon as he opened his mouth, but he didn't know how much impact his unintentional words would have on the girl.
The two of them soon came to the gate of the Black Mist Castle, perhaps because they had not experienced war all year round, the guards of the Black Mist Fort were very lax, the four soldiers leaned against the door and chatted, and the remaining one walked towards Ye Xun and the two.
Without waiting for the other party to speak, Ye Xun took out a silver coin and threw it over.
The soldier who got the benefit didn't say much, just glanced at the two casually, and stayed on Alyssa's body for a long time, after all, such a beautiful girl is not very common, and at the same time felt strange about the combination of the two.
The streets of the Black Fog Castle are not particularly spacious, surrounded by shops and houses, one by one, children walking briskly through the narrow streets, and women standing at the door waiting for their husbands to return, while calling for their children to come in.
After a day's work, those simple men each carried tools, cigarette pouches in their mouths, chatted at the same time, and rushed home in twos and threes.
Ye Xun took Elisa and walked towards the hotel in the center of the Black Mist Castle, he was going to stay here today, it was getting late, it was really inconvenient to take Elisa to hurry, and at the same time he also wanted to see how far the man called Mandrar would go.
The location of the hotel is easy to find, more than one person is tall, and the exterior is wrapped with a brass door number, Ye Xun has already noticed it from afar, and when he walked in, the hotel is called the Black Stone House.
Looking up, sure enough, the store was as its name suggested, all of them were made of black rocks, Ye Xun thought to himself, this is probably the characteristic of the Black Mist Castle.
Pushing open the door and walking in, Ye Xun found that the hotel hall was cleaned very clean, not as dirty as outside, the whole hall was lit by candles, Ye Xun sniffed with his nose and found that there was no peculiar smell, it seems that these candles are not made of animal fat.
Seeing that a guest was coming, the boss greeted him warmly, although he was very curious about the combination of the two, but after Ye Xun threw out the gold coin, the curiosity that was not worth mentioning was immediately forgotten by him.
After settling down properly, Ye Xun instructed the boss to prepare food, and then took Alyssa out of the hotel and began to wander the streets leisurely.
Although she didn't understand why Ye Xun wanted to go out shopping at night, Alyssa chose to shut up very wisely and honestly followed behind, until now, she was still very afraid of the other party.
Ye Xun's purpose is naturally not to go shopping, but to purchase necessities for the journey, for which he, who is also a rookie, has already prepared in advance.
In the sharing of the chat group, in addition to all kinds of basic knowledge, there are more miscellaneous life skills, which are sorted out one by one, and placed there in different categories.
How to choose a good horse breed, the encyclopedia of wild food, how to disguise yourself as a nobleman, massive resources, Ye Xun's eyes trembled, these knowledge are useful, but they have nothing to do with conquest, and they are the essence of various fields.
For example, there is an article, how to get information in the Qinglou, Ye Xun just wants to ask, what kind of thing is this.
After layers of screening, Ye Xun finally found what he needed, the "Travel Essentials Guide" listed various items, combined with several travel situations, and summarized different item collocations.
Ye Xun downloaded it without saying a word, and then according to the prompts, he began to buy everything.
"Two more horses were needed in the end, and I remember that the merchant who sold the horses should be not far from here, just a turn away. In the remote alley east of the Black Mist Castle, Ye Xun took the map he borrowed from the inn and muttered to himself.
Alyssa followed behind him, at this time she was already sweating all over her body, her fair little face was flushed, she had walked so many ways with Ye Xun, she was really tired of being a princess, and she was so happy when she heard Ye Xun say the last two words.
"It's really annoying, flies come at a critical time, but I have to say that Mambarore reacted quite quickly, I thought it would have to wait until tomorrow. ā
At this time, Ye Xun put down the map in his hand, turned around and looked at the alley behind him, where there was a young man standing with a long sword in both hands and dressed as a warrior.
"Hello Princess Alyssa, I am under the command of Lord Mandrol, and I have been ordered to invite you as a guest. Said the young warrior.
"Who are you? We don't know you. Ye Xun said.
"Don't you know me now, my name is Tolkien, and I'm a subordinate of Lord Mambaror. The young man, who called himself Tolkien, took two steps forward, his legs steady and powerful.
He was slender, wheat-complexed, with short, stiff hair, and very bright eyes, not very handsome, but very eye-catching.
