Chapter 11: The City of Princesses (2)

After dawn, the heroes and the people of Hook Bay gathered in the cemetery to mourn and bury the dead. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Youlande searched everywhere, but did not find Gu Shiyu.

Could it be that this guy slept in a pigsty after he got drunk last night?

After the ceremony, Yoland, Hart, and Murak instructed their men to search the town, but found no trace of Gu Shiyu.

Where did this kid sleep last night......?

Catherine and Eldred attended the mourning ceremony and are now feeding the black dragon on the beach. Luna sat far away on a bench in the docks, looking out over the endless sea, with the loyal Saril at her side.

Could it be that this kid worked last night and was so tired that he was bedridden?

Yolande sent someone to sneak into the residence of the two princesses to find out, but the results were very disappointing.

Yoland, Hart, and Mulak looked at each other. Youland was already so anxious that he shed tears, and whimpered: "Shouldn't Gu Zi be unable to think about it and look for a short time?"

"Phew!" Hart spat out, "what are you talking about, what a crow's mouth!"

Mulak shook his head and said, "Guzi is not a narrow-minded person, he should be able to withstand this blow." ”

"And where did he go?" Yolande had personally promised him that he would be a shield by his side, but when he was most in need of help, Yolande was either not by his side, or he was half a beat late, which was against his oath.

At breakfast, all the heroes and warriors gathered in the huge tavern, but they still didn't find Gu Shiyu. Adridrid had already noticed something was wrong and secretly ran to inquire. As soon as he heard that Gu Shiyu was missing, Eldred also became anxious, and he lost his temper with Hart and Murak, and it was okay to blame Yoland.

"You're still a good friend and brother of Guzi, why don't you look at him?!"

"What do I think of him?" he said he wanted to talk to Her Highness the Princess alone, am I embarrassed to follow him?" Yolande defended.

"I want you to make excuses!" Eldred angrily grabbed a handful of Yoland's ears and hurried back to report to Catherine.

Yolande screamed in pain, and when he saw the people around him looking at him with strange eyes, he quickly shut up, just in time to see Catherine's anxious eyes.

Mayor Mare's speech at the tavern bar thanked the Heroes Guild, the Redwood Forest, and the Divine Wood Forest for their selfless assistance, and Hook Bay was willing to form an alliance with the heroes to fight the enemy together, etc.

Although the banquet was sumptuous, Yolande and the others were unpleasant and worried.

After the feast, the Guru summoned everyone to gather again. Catherine and Princess Luna stood on the docks one to the east and one to the west, not attending the meeting in person. Princess Catherine's representative is Eldrid, and Luna's representative is Sariel, but Sariel is always at a distance from the others.

The mentor also knew the news of Gu Shiyu's disappearance, and his anxiety was speechless. He was optimistic about this kid, thinking that he could lead the heroes to defend the Lost Land, but who knew that he released the pigeon halfway through.

But he still felt lucky in his heart, because he firmly believed that Gu Shiyu was the chosen one, and as long as he was not ready to draw his sword, the Lost Land would have more time to prepare for the battle.

"But where did he go, could his life be in danger?" Although Adridrid hated Gu Shiyu for failing Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine, they were still friends.

The giant scythe shook his head and said, "If he is really the Chosen One we expected, not only the Heroes Guild, but even the Thieves Guild will not embarrass him. Everyone is waiting for him to draw his sword when he is strong enough to break the seal of the portal!"

"So, wouldn't his life be in danger?" said Eldred, still wanting to make sure.

"No!" replied the mentor firmly, "When it comes to opening portals, both the Heroes Guild and the Thieves Guild have the same attitude. ”

The people of the Heroes Guild want to open the portal in order to return to their homeland, while the mentor of the Thieves' Guild, Sauron, wants to open the portal in the hope of getting reinforcements from all over the dungeon so that he can occupy the Lost Lands and invade other realms through it. Although the reinforcements in the dungeon can also enter the Lost Land now, they can't go back, isn't that a meat bun beating a dog, and there is no return?

According to Sauron's idea, the demons, undead, and wizards of the dungeon should send reinforcements as soon as possible to occupy this strategic location. But even if it is occupied, what can it be? The purpose of occupation is nothing more than to obtain strategic resources, but as long as the portal of the Lost Land is not opened, the resources cannot be transported back, not only will there be nothing, but a steady stream of troops must be sent to defend it, and no lord will want to do such a thing for nothing.

Everyone actually knew very well in their hearts that although the Thieves Guild and the Heroes Guild had already started fighting, it was only a matter between the two guilds, and the war had not yet begun to spread to the entire Lost Land. The Lost Lands' defenses can be strengthened with enough time to be good for any race living on the ground, as no one knows where they will be the next target of the dungeon.

Mulak chose to return to the Divine Wood Forest, which cannot be destroyed by the enemy, otherwise the enemy's power will become stronger and stronger.

Hart chose to stay in Hook Bay for the time being because his brother Tharis had not yet recovered from his injuries.

The mentor asked Salil, "Sariel, what does Her Royal Highness Princess Luna mean?"

Sariel is still very respectful to her mentor. She said, "Her Royal Highness wants to stay in Hook Bay to guard the Heart of Flames, and she doesn't want to go anywhere else, so as not to get angry when she sees some people." ”

Eldred exclaimed, "Who are you insinuating about?"

Sarriel glared, "That's funny! Who did I say?"

Both of them are sharp-tongued, and they can't stop if they quarrel. The mentor hurriedly came out to put out the fire and asked, "Aedrid, what does Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine mean?"

"Let's go back to the castle, we don't want to see anyone. ”

The mentor shook his head in his heart. Can't you women get along well, and you have to pinch each other as soon as you meet?

However, the mentor is also a king and a fifth man, he is old and bearded, and he is not married, shouldn't he be afraid of breaking his body by practicing some kind of children's skills?

"So be it, where you should go, and we will accompany Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine back to Baulston. Fortunately, Hart will help Hook Bay to help defend for a while, and I hope that the mayor can use this time to train new recruits in time. The tutor made a summary report at the end.

But after the meeting, everyone had no intention of dispersing, and was still remembering Gu Shiyu's whereabouts.

Youlande said: "Guzi will only have three destinations, one is to choose to go to the wild land, the second is to choose to stay in the lost land, and the third is to ......" Youlande suddenly stopped his mouth and shook his head.

"Where is the third?" said Eldred's eyes wide, "Just say it, don't sell it!"

Yolande scratched his head and said, "Where else can I go to the third, there is only the Netherworld!"

More than a dozen wine glasses were smashed at Yoland.

Yolande ran away with his head in his hands, shouting as he ran: "I didn't say that he committed suicide by throwing himself into the sea, why did you beat me?"

Eldred whispered to Hart, "If you have news of the grain, we will immediately ask the mayor to let us know by releasing the jackdaw." ”

"I will. Hart has a crush on Eldred, "I'll let you know as soon as I have the news." ”

"It's not me, it's us!" Adridrid corrected.

"Yes, I'll tell you right away!" said Hart, nodding hurriedly.

Fortunately, when everyone was out of Hook Bay, the guards reported that they went out before dawn in the rain, and everyone was relieved.

Where is Gu Shiyu now? He is riding a fierce woman, running wildly in the unknown dense forest and mountains.

He chose to leave the crowd because he had to think about it. Ever since he met Luna, his heart has been in turmoil.

If struggle does not make a person stronger, it makes a person weaker. Just like a moth that binds itself as a cocoon, if it does not succeed in breaking out of its cocoon, it will only be waiting to rot. Only through the pains of struggle can we present a new posture and look forward to our future from a new perspective.

It is only when a person finally understands where he is going that he can truly mature. This is the journey that any successful man and a successful leader must go through.

Gu Shiyu didn't think about it so much now, his thoughts were very simple, just to calm down, and of course there was an element of escape.

Sometimes he even wanted to drive away the horses, and walked barefoot on the earth, among the rocks, among the thorns, without restraint, feeling the harshness and power of nature, and feeling the whispering of the wind and dew in the forest and in the meadow.

Facing the mountains and rivers, will he stop and meditate?

When the Mentor and the others returned to Baulston, the walls were almost complete. Cuthbert is directing the men to dig a wide moat, ready to dig the Baulston River, so that the moat will become a tributary around the city and then emptied into the sea.

The west gate of the castle is the main passage into the city, the south gate is connected to the town of Ballston, and the north gate leads to the lofty mountains, the terrain is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and can be used as an important escape route after the fall of the city.

Facing the sea on the east side of the castle, the newly built wharf was busy, and many fleets docked at the wharf, taking advantage of the construction of the castle to bring in a large number of scarce supplies and frequent commercial trade activities. Catherine's other assistant with a lot of seamanship, Sylvia, has begun to supervise the construction of huge warships in order to ensure safety at sea.

The fly in the ointment is that the city's infrastructure is not yet perfect. At the beginning of the construction of the castle, Her Royal Highness the Princess and Madame Grey each invested 200,000 gold coins, and later Madame Grey did not pull out a dime, and Cuthbert had no choice but to invest more than 300,000 yuan in the company's profits in the past few months, plus the auction of the foundation of the city's houses and tax revenue, a total of nearly 1 million gold coins have been invested.

The construction of watchtowers, arrow towers and barracks has already begun in the city. Heroes such as Madsword trained spearmen, archers, and swordsmen day and night. The stables have also been built, but the horses in the Lost Land are not suitable for war horses, and the cavalry training ground has not been built. Christine's nearly 100 cavalry had nowhere to walk their horses, and roared around the castle early in the morning.

Cuthbert greeted the crowd at the city gates. As soon as Catherine looked up and saw the "City of Princesses" with the plaque on the gate, she felt dizzy and almost fell off the horse, but Cuthbert hurriedly supported her. Catherine's face was pale, and she shook her head and said, "It's okay, maybe I've been in the sun for a long time and my head is a little dizzy, but now it's better." ”

Adred knew that the name must have been taken by Gu Shiyu, and gave Cuthbert ten thousand guts, and he didn't dare to make up his own mind.

Although this name has not achieved any literary brilliance, it is Gu Shiyu's heart, no wonder Catherine suddenly felt dizzy when she touched the scene.

After entering the city, there is a square, which is used as a market in peacetime, and can be used as an urn city in wartime, and the enemies who break through the door can be annihilated in the urn city. After passing through the gate of the urn city, it is considered to have entered the city.

Standing at the foot of the hill where the former belvedere was held, and looking up at the majestic Congress Hall on top of hundreds of steps, everyone was amazed.

"Her Royal Highness is tired, find a place for her to rest!" Eldred whispered to Cuthbert.

"Okay, I have prepared the palace of Her Royal Highness the Princess and the boss, and there is the State Guesthouse next to the palace, so I will take everyone to rest first. Cuthbert was muttering to himself, why didn't he see his boss come back?

Eldred said in a low voice: "Don't say it in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess, I'll tell you later!"
