In the year 756 of the Holy Spirit Empire calendar, at the end of autumn, the cold is coming. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

As the seasons change, the leaves of the trees in all parts of the province wither and fall, leaving only bare stems.

On a mountain path leading to the Yuanxinhai of Haimanxing Province, a group of elite soldiers of the empire wearing armor and solemn expressions escorted a carriage and drove slowly past.

This carriage is very luxuriously dressed.

The umbrella leaves on the roof of the carriage are made of the belly skin of the high-grade magical beast monitor lizard, which is waterproof and fireproof, and the wood of the carriage is made of the most expensive golden nan wood in the Canaanite Province, although it is wood, it is engraved with a defensive formation that insulates any magic, and has the same effect as the dragon skin of the divine dragon.

On both sides of the carriage, a string of golden bells was hung, and as the carriage moved, only the crisp sound of 'jingling bells' was left.

It is good-sounding, and it has the effect of an artifact to expel demonic beasts.

Not to mention anything else, even the horses pulling the cart are extraordinary.

This steed has a snow-white body, bright eyes, soft hair like silk, and a single horn on the top of its head, like a horse but not a horse, like a beast but not a beast.

It's a unicorn.

It is rumored that at the beginning of the establishment of the Holy Spirit Empire, before the unification of the humans, orcs, elves, dwarves and other races, there were Pegasus who spread their wings and flew high, traveling thousands of miles in an instant.

Pegasus and mortal horses are crossed, and there is a unicorn.

The unicorn inherits the snow-white skin color and hair of the Pegasus, the unicorn on the top of the Pegasus' head, and the keen perception and running speed of the Pegasus when it perceives danger.

Unfortunately, the unicorn can't grow wings and can't fly.

Even so, unicorns are scarce and tight, and have been kept in captivity by the royal family of Charles of the Holy Spirit Empire for generations, and are more precious than the 'flying dragons' ridden by the dragon knights.

Nowadays, there are only two purebred unicorns.

One is an old horse, which is the mount of His Majesty Charles VIII's battlefield, and he walks leisurely in the horse farm of the Imperial Palace all day long, watching the sunrise and sunset, recuperating in his old age, eating and waiting for death.

The remaining one is the prime-aged unicorn pulling the cart in front of him.

In the year 753 of the Holy Spirit Empire, when Her Royal Highness the Four Princesses were just coming of age, the elderly His Majesty Charles IX gave this unicorn to the Four Princesses.

It can be seen from this that His Majesty has great love for the four princesses.

If it weren't for Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess as her daughter, I am afraid that the third prince and the fifth prince would have one more fierce rival on the road to the crown prince.

The wheels of the carriage crushed the dead leaves, and in the ringing of the bell, the curtains of the carriage were lifted, and a pair of plain hands stretched out, holding a piece of withered yellow fallen leaves in the palm of his hand.

"Your Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, the wind outside is a little cold, and it is easy to be infected with wind cold. Next to the carriage, sitting on the back of a black steed, the deputy commander of the Guards said with a small reminder.

Last time, at His Majesty's birthday party, the fake Silver Moon Song and Dance Troupe assassinated His Majesty Charles IX in public, and he led his troops to arrest him, but he was knocked unconscious by the magic sound blown by Yulis, and was thrown to his grandmother's house in shame.

Afterwards, although no one mentioned his dereliction of duty, the guilt in his heart was not reduced by half.

His ancestors were loyal to the royal family, his father's allegiance was to the royal family, and he was equally loyal to the royal family.

The original 'assassination incident' was like a spike that pierced his heart deeply, and the wound caused has not healed to this day.

A few days ago, on the Yuanxin Sea of Haiman Province, the 'Yuanxin City' was finally completed, and this news was quickly spread to the imperial capital, and the Provincial Governor's Office was about to send an inspector to inspect it, but Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess personally asked His Majesty for orders and wanted to come to this errand.

It was supposed to be an easy errand.

Just as Lord Mofil, the Inspector, a personal friend of William's father, Baron Bazado, was often ordered to go to various cities and towns in Kuwait Province to inspect the grain harvest and various taxes.

But His Royal Highness, His Majesty's favorite Fourth Princess, personally sent an envoy, and everything was naturally different.

The deputy commander of the Imperial Capital Guards was ordered to personally take thirty elite soldiers under his command to escort him all the way.

As long as you don't encounter a terrifying enemy like Yuris, who has an imitation artifact, any other thieves who rob homes and houses, and black mercenary gangs with bad intentions will never return.

Even, I'm afraid that I can't even get close to the carriage of Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, a distance of thirty steps.

"It's cold outside, but the thought of meeting someone soon, my heart is hot. ”

Inside the carriage, the hand stretched out from the window of the carriage retracted, and Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess was seven points cold, and three points excited, and the voice was faintly transmitted.

When the deputy commander of the Guards heard this, he didn't reply, and shut up at the right time.

There is no shortage of rumors in the imperial capital. In the past, there were rumors circulating in the imperial capital that Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess recognized William of the Lester family as a teacher.

Rumors stop at the wise. The deputy commander of the Guards did not consider himself a wise man, but he found this rumor extremely ridiculous.

Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, with the most noble royal blood in the world, is the pearl of His Majesty's palm, and the amount of favor she receives is even more than that of the young Fifth Prince.

Who is William? The young master of a small and rising family.

How can the two intersect when one is in the sky and the other is on the earth?

But the moment when the deputy commander of the Guards took the order and personally led the troops to escort Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess to Haiman Province, his original unwavering heart was instantly shaken.

This is an obvious thing, everyone can see that the inspection of Yuanxin City is fake, and the visit to William is real.

However, even if this is the case, this matter is not something that he can talk about as a small deputy commander of the Guards.

Putting away the clutter in his mind, the deputy commander of the Guards began to concentrate on his journey.

This sea is in the province, he is the first time to come. But before coming here, he had made sufficient preparations and had a full understanding of the Haiman Province in advance.

There are many tributaries, many mountains, and few plains in Haimanxing Province, which is a truly barren province, and there are many demonic beasts entrenched in the territory.

But at this moment, the demonic beasts in the Sea Man Province seem to have been specially cleaned up, and along the way, they have not encountered any demonic beast attacks.

And not only that, but even the dangerous ordinary beasts are pitiful.

The deputy commander of the Guards was pleased, but did not let his guard down.

According to the detailed provincial plan, after continuing to walk forward for three hours, you will get out of the Hidas Mountains in front of you, and before sunset, you will arrive at the Yuanxinhai.

But is it really going so well?

When the unicorn pulling the cart let out a dull low roar, the face of the deputy commander of the guards changed in an instant.

Unicorns are extremely intelligent and have a unique talent for perceiving danger. In general, unicorns don't bark easily for no reason.

When a unicorn makes a call, it probably means that it is not thirsty or hungry, but ...... Danger is coming!

Even, without being reminded by the unicorn, one of the officers who was acting as a pioneer in the front gave the order to bypass the instructions of the deputy commander of the Guards and bring the convoy to a sudden stop.

The deputy commander of the Guards looked solemn, and his eyes looked at the front of the line like a torch.

Two people blocked the way.

A beautiful woman, and a rugged-looking ugly orc riding on the back of a large toad monster!
