Chapter 681: The Haze in the Territory
To a large extent, this coup d'état was too hasty, from the initial formulation of the plan to the arrival of the territory of the Zegus Kingdom was only three days, but Poenlius made a comprehensive plan, and Haidai still felt that there was a possibility of implementation, but the risk was still not small, after all, in this kind of hasty time, no matter how resourceful Perenlius was, it was impossible to do it to the extent of meticulousness.
This is enough for Haidai, Pernlius's plan has been much better than he expected, now time is the biggest enemy, if you don't speed up and dare to make a move before the demon, then the demon will squeeze the entire Zegus Kingdom to the maximum extent as Perenlius said, and then clap your hands and leave after eating and wiping it clean, and then wait for the people and holy capital of the entire Zegus Kingdom to bear all the losses.
Even if the time is rushed, no matter how imperfect the plan is, you must preempt the demons and cultists, and even if you can't completely stop the other party, you must minimize the damage.
After arriving in the border city within the territory of the Zegus Kingdom, the Saint Seiya also brought good news to Haidai, and they agreed to assist Haidai in this coup.
Ercid and the others took out the communication magic guide that was originally on strike again during the discussion, but this time after the magic guide started to work, there were only many murmurs of unknown meaning, and several Saint Seiya knew neither engraving nor law, the only thing they could do was to start the magic guide according to the manual, and now they are helpless when they encounter this kind of problem.
After arriving in the border city of Yuka of the Zegus Kingdom, the steward of the convoy who entered the city immediately reported to the local city officials about the attack by the cultists on the way, and the city officials only promised to send personnel to the attack site to investigate and report the incident to the Holy Capital and the Royal Capital, but for the loss of the convoy, the other party can only help Ai Mu.
A large number of goods had to be abandoned in situ because of the lack of carriages, and in addition to the loss of goods, liquidated damages under commercial contracts were added. Although it was because of the attack by cultists, it doesn't matter so much if you go to the other party's chamber of commerce if you have a business contract, you will naturally be responsible for the safety of transportation when you buy your chamber of commerce, anyway, I just need to see that you can deliver the required goods on time, if you fail to reach the contract agreement. Excuse me, please pay according to the indemnity treaty.
For a while, the steward was also in a hurry, so he could only keep reporting to the upper echelons of the Chamber of Commerce, hoping that the upper echelons could send personnel to deal with this matter.
In order to avoid being 'politely' asked by local officials about the details of the incident in Qom City, as soon as they arrived in Yucca City, the Saints immediately rented a carriage and a few horses with Haidai and Perenlius, took the still unconscious Gomera out of the city, and went to the territory of one of the lords who supported them in the political situation as requested by Haidai.
Fortunately, not long after arriving at the territory checkpoint on the second day of departure, Haidai's maid Gomera finally woke up, although the woman was still very weak, but at least she could wake up to prove that her injuries had healed a lot.
"Thank you for the protection of the Supreme God┉┉It's great that you're okay, Your Royal Highness Princess┉┉" looked at Haidai who was safe. Gomera said gratefully with tears in her eyes.
"Gomera, your body is still very weak, don't say more, let's rest first, when you get to Lan Xiang's territory, I'm looking for a mage to help you heal. Seeing the maid wake up, Haidai's heart, which had been heavy, was finally a little lighter.
For Her Royal Highness the Princess's kindness, Gomera grabbed Haidai's hand tightly and said deeply: "No matter what, please be careful of Your Royal Highness Princess┉┉In my dreams, I have always dreamed of you, dreaming of you when I was an hour┉┉I dreamed of the scene when I saw you for the first time┉┉Those little by little memories┉┉Even when you were in the most pain, you were like my own daughter, calling me." guided me and made me finally climb out of the dark abyss┉┉"
"I'll be careful, Gomera. So┉┉" Haidai held the hand of the maid who grew up with her, and more than ten years of getting along with Gomera is equivalent to her second mother: "No matter what, please don't leave me." ”
Outside the carriage, Olufi, who was on horseback, looked at the two men in the carriage, then raised the reins and let the horse run quickly to the front of the carriage, outside which Perenlius was acting as a coachman.
"I still have to say thank you. Without your help, the woman probably wouldn't have woken up. ”
"I just gave her a little hope, and in the end it was up to her own will. ”
Olufi stared at Purenlius, "You have great power, Purenlius! Why would you be so scruptuous, using your power to save others?"
Poenlius was silent for a moment, then looked up and said, "I can't save anyone." ”
The voice of 'I can't save anyone' emerged with the breath of vicissitudes, as if after fighting in countless seas of blood for too long, my heart has long dried up. It's as if cynical people have been forced to numb by reality. It's tired and angry, and it's hard to figure out what he's thinking.
"But this time you saved┉┉"
"No!" Pernlius looked away and looked straight ahead, "Anyone can save only himself." ”
Olufei was speechless for a moment, Perenlius, what this man had been through, he could vaguely perceive that this man also longed to redeem others from the bottom of his heart, but he was strangely opposed to himself doing so, this contradiction may be the reason why he exists in this world like a confused wanderer.
There were some obstacles when arriving at the level of Lan Linghua's territory, I don't know what the reason is, the entire Lan Linghua territory seems to be under martial law now, and the checkpoint is full of guards on duty and even a middle-level mage is present, except for the merchants who have the official certificate of the Zegus Kingdom, the rest of the people are not allowed to enter the Lan Linghua territory, and Haidai, who can't reveal the identity of the princess, as well as the Saint Seiya and Perenlius and others who are outsiders, can't enter the Lan Linghua territory.
After being blocked, Haidai wanted to directly take out the royal insignia as proof of the princess, but this move was stopped by Perenlius.
"What Pernlius said is right, the situation of the entire Zegus Kingdom is unknown now, and if your identity is revealed here, it will be tantamount to putting everyone in the light. Elcid also said something to help.
"Then what should I do?" Hai Dai was a little anxious: "If I can't even see Count Raymond, I won't be able to contact the people in the country now." ”
Perenlius drove in the carriage and began to detour: "We are coming in the evening. ”
The unknown Haidai had no choice but to believe in Purenlius, and everyone stopped not far from the level, but fortunately, the space equipment of the Saint Seiya was stocked with a lot of food, in addition to a lot of fresh food, there were some canned foods that had never appeared in another world, in addition to some high-calorie chocolate and energy drinks for emergency use, which were now taken out by the Saint Seiyas.
"I'll take a look, um~ What it says is that you just need to boil the water, and then pour the solids inside and wait for ten minutes, which is really convenient. "As a previous generation of Saint Seiya from the Renaissance, seeing something like canned food for the first time made Caludia as excited as a child who had received a new toy.
"Why is the Caludia ~ Perenlius gone?"
When Elcid and Alubioni picked up some branches and returned to make a fire, they suddenly found that Purnelius was gone.
Still researching, Caludia waved her hand and said boredly: "That guy went to inquire about the news, and said that he didn't have to wait for dinner." ”
Soon the bonfire was lit, and after boiling a bucket of hot water, Caludia opened several cans and poured them in, and at the same time took out some fresh vegetables and handed them to Elcid, looking at Calude's smiling face, Elcid knew very well what he was thinking, and after taking out the dagger he carried, under Calude's disappointed gaze, Elcid chopped the vegetables and put them in, and soon dissolved the solidified grease with the hot water, and the rich aroma made everyone can't help but have an appetite.
Haidai was a little surprised to look at this pot of hot broth, and picked up the empty cans on the ground and looked at them again, this kind of thing called canned food is really convenient, and it can be kept for a year without spoilage, such a long storage time is precious food for both travelers and mercenaries, you must know that it is not easy to eat hot broth full of color and fragrance when walking in the wild, and not only travelers and mercenaries, if you can make this kind of canned food in large quantities, then it will also reduce a great burden on the transportation and storage of military rations。
However, Hai Dai looked at the thin layer of iron sheet, and it was probably not an easy task to make the iron as thin as paper.
A bowl of broth, strictly speaking, the broth was served to Hai Dai, but Her Royal Highness the princess did not eat it herself first, but first took the head of the maid who took care of herself in the carriage, this kind of behavior made several saints have a good impression of Hai Dai, and the dissatisfaction with being forced to be involved in this coup d'état has been invisibly reduced.
Halfway through eating, Elcid took out the magic guide and fiddled with it, but it still kept making noises, as if it was malfunctioning, and it was useless for Elcid to slap it.
It wasn't until Elcid was about to give up completely that Purnlius also returned, and after declining the bowl handed over by Elcid, Purnlius directly told the reason for the martial law in Lan Linghua's territory.
"What Count Raymond was assassinated in?" said Haydai, who was immediately surprised.
Perenlius nodded and said: "Yes, fortunately, Count Raymond was only slightly injured and it was not a big deal, but the earl's son suddenly disappeared on the day of the assassination, and the current martial law in the Lan Linghua territory is a large-scale search for the earl's son."
