Lead clouds hung low, the wind howled, and Victor's convoy scurried along the muddy road.

The human world is strictly hierarchical, and the lords and nobles have strict rules for traveling, which is not only to show their identity and obtain convenience, but also to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

Lords control their territories through forts, villages, towns, roads, and sentry posts. Villages and towns are mostly built in resource-intensive or well-supplied areas, and are connected by roads between villages and towns, and between towns and fortresses, with sentry posts built every 25 kilometers on the roads. These posts provide night shelter and supplies for patrolling soldiers, and also function as post stations and tax cards.

Travelers or caravans walking on the roads are protected by patrolling soldiers, spend the night at sentry posts when it gets dark, and of course be checked by the guards, pay accommodation and transit taxes. Those who tried to make it through the wilderness, not only were they not protected by their lords, but they were also considered ill-intentioned and punished if caught.

However, if a convoy of other nobles' armed armies suddenly appeared in the realm, the guards and sentry posts would be difficult to deal with, and it would not be surprising that the lord would react in any way. It is for this reason that the nobility gradually developed a corresponding etiquette when traveling.

In Gambis, no more than 40 escorts and 10 attendants and servants were allowed to accompany the viscount, and when the viscount's convoy passed through the territories of other families, an emissary should be sent one day in advance to inform the local lord of the identity, number, itinerary, and destination, and at the same time to file a record with the resident priest. After receiving the notification, the lord can prepare in advance to receive the VIP or explicitly refuse to approve the request.

Unless there is unrest, war, or disaster in the realm. Lords generally do not refuse nobles' requests for passage to their territories, and even nobles who do not entertain travel must provide conveniences commensurate with their status, and Victor will not be given a cold shoulder.

Victor's convoy consisted of 4 noble carriages, 8 ox carts loaded with supplies, 80 escorts, 20 cavalry, plus servants, and more than 100 men. In terms of numbers, this was a violation, but half of the manpower belonged to Judy's guards.

In fact, no one cared whether Victor exceeded the status of viscount, and the lords only prayed that the convoy would not cause trouble in their own territory, and the leader of the western lords' forces, the Duke of Nimes, also sent his great knight Elot to escort him along the way. Along the way, the western lords were hospitable and feasting, and Victor walked for a whole month without entering the middle of the kingdom.

March is the rainiest time of the year. Although it was still afternoon, the sky was cloudy, there was no ray of sunlight, and the surroundings were as dark as night, and even those who had no travel experience knew that a rainstorm was coming.

The experienced coachman chose a high clearing, and the guards and servants surrounded the more than a dozen wagons, and the cattle were herded into the enclosure. They took out the waterproof felt blanket and a dozen four-meter-long giant umbrellas from the ox cart, the felt blanket covered the roof of the car, the giant umbrella was driven into the ground half a meter deep, and then fixed with ropes.

Victor and Elot stood side by side, and seeing Hu Cong doing a good job of preventing the rain, Elot couldn't help but say: "Every time I see this kind of ...... The umbrella is stretched open, which always amazes me. ”

As the fiefdom of the Nimes family and the grand knight of the silver rank, Elliott originally disdained to act as a bodyguard, but the political significance of Victor's trip was extraordinary, and the Nimes family must ensure his safety and send a high-ranking escort from the family, both to show support for the royal family and to respect the House of York.

In the eyes of knights, only knights, scholars, and lords can be considered nobles, and if Elote was only escorting Sylvia's lover, he could only maintain a superficial politeness at most, but Victor's status as a silver archer has already made him occupy a place in the circle of grand knights. Elot and Victor walked along the way, and they had a great conversation, and he was amazed by the giant umbrella of Victor's team.

The structure of the giant umbrella is not surprising, the most critical technology is the waterproof tarpaulin, the alchemy auxiliaries use fish glue to glue three layers of coarse linen together, put it in a mixed liquid of fish-man mucus and resin for three days, and then apply special grass ash and dry, it is made into a very strong tarpaulin.

Victor asked the alchemy auxiliaries to make tarpaulins to ensure the transportation of goods from the Free Folk caravans, after all, carts were not as protective from rain as horse-drawn carriages. If this new invention was seen by the caravan steward or the noble butler, it would definitely attract their attention, but unfortunately Count Elliott was only amazed, and had no interest in getting to the bottom of it, and Victor was also happy to make a fortune in a muffled voice, and he said with a smile: "The season of water, the rain in March, and the snow in April, are indeed not suitable for travel, and we may not be able to catch up with Baron Vikauer's castle today." ”

Elot looked at the rain clouds in the sky, shook his head and said, "This rain will not be small, maybe we will spend the night in the wilderness......" As he spoke, a drop of rain fell on the ground, and Elliott smiled narrowly: "Victor, you better go back to the carriage, someone is waiting for you." ”

Victor sensed how keen, he didn't need to look to know that the pulsed gaze behind the car window fell on him from time to time, and it was naturally the delicate and touching Mrs. Judy.

Victor smiled apologetically at Elot, and the two of them went back to their respective carriages.

As soon as he ascended the wooden staircase, the door opened, and Victor was welcomed in with a beautiful face. As soon as he entered the carriage, Judy stretched out her white and round arm, hooked Victor's neck, and first sent a lingering kiss before carefully untying Victor's cloak and leather armor, and then squatting down to take off his leather boots for him. Her movements are gentle and decent, like a newlywed wife serving her husband.

Judy was wearing only a knee-length sleeveless thin silk nightdress, her smooth and straight calves poked out from the bottom of the skirt, her naked and beautiful jade feet were gently cushioned on the white cashmere blanket, her golden hair fell naturally from both sides, revealing her fair and slender neck, her willow waist collapsed, and her round buttocks under the nightdress were as full and attractive as peaches. As if feeling the fiery gaze, Judy raised her hand to pull her hair aside, raised her head and smiled, and the beautiful scenery on her chest suddenly showed an unobstructed view, Victor couldn't help but pick up the stunner and throw it on the soft couch behind the carriage. The two were in love with each other, and when they were about to warm up, the raindrops of beans crackled and fell.

Through the car window, he saw a shower of rain pouring down like a waterfall like a cloth, and the rain curtain covered the sky, and the outside of the car was already white, Victor frowned, and with his eyesight, he couldn't see the situation 500 meters away. Judy rested her delicate chin on Victor's shoulder and whispered, "My dear, why hasn't Sister Alina come back yet?" ”

"Alina and Alice are both apprentice knights, and this little rain can't stop them. Victor tried to listen to the sound of the rain, and soon he heard the footsteps of six people, and through X-3's adjustment, an image of sound appeared in his mind, the twin sisters were running towards here under the escort of three spirit monkey militia, and Renault was left behind with a fat yellow sheep.

It didn't take long for Victor to walk over and open the door, and two slender figures rushed in. Casually closing the cold rain out of the door, Victor reprimanded with a straight face: "I said I was going to rain a long time ago, and I had to go out hunting, so I was drenched now, right?"

Alina and Alice pursed their lips almost at the same time, staring down at their toes, their pink hair sticking wet to their fair cheeks, and their bodies still trembling slightly, looking pitiful and embarrassed.

No matter what kind of background the sisters have, they are now surnamed Randall, and seeing their woman shivering from the cold, Victor was somewhat distressed, "Take off your clothes quickly." ”

The twin sisters untied each other's leather armor, threw off their boots, and blushed as they took off their soaked fine linen underwear, and in the glowing candlelight, the two snow-white bewitching bodies seemed to be carved from white jade. Victor took two sheepskin cloaks to cover the sisters' graceful bodies, turned to his head and commanded, "Judy, make them some hot coffee." ”

"Yes, my lord. Judy pursed her lips and smiled, getting up and walking to the front of the carriage.

"Let's all go inside, there's a stove in there. Victor said to the two sisters.

"Your Excellency, you are so nice. ”

The sisters smiled and kissed Victor on the cheek, then turned and walked towards the couch in the carriage, four slender jade legs looming under the cloak, and when Judy staggered past them, her sister Alice threw a smug look at her.

Since the beginning of the trip, Judy has been in Victor's carriage under the pretext of asking for advice on how to govern the territory, accompanying Victor like a wife, chatting with him every day, playing chess, and even singing for him, while the Alina sisters can only ride in Judy's carriage. Seeing that Victor was completely occupied by Judy, Alina and Alice were anxious and resentful, they were Victor's rightful partners, but because of Victor's attitude, the two sisters did not dare to express their dissatisfaction directly, so they played a bitter trick to regain their position.

Judy knew what her twin sisters were thinking, but she wasn't ready to back down. Judy has a weak heart, has never had the ambition and preparation to take charge of the family, after the death of her husband, she is overwhelmed with grief, but in the face of the family situation, Judy once wanted to attach herself to Austen, but Austen pursued power. When Judy was hunted down, Victor killed Austin, and he became Judy's lifesaver. As long as she was with Victor, Judy felt at ease, and this attachment gradually turned into an obsession as she grinded along the way. Judy has no intention of competing with Sister Alina, but she will never withdraw from Victor's side.

The Alina sisters consciously or unconsciously show off their snow skin and long legs by wiping their bodies, while Judy elegantly cooks coffee while casting a tender gaze at Victor. Victor doesn't know about the secret war between women, but the three beautiful women all show a gesture of letting him take what he wants, which makes the atmosphere in the carriage strange and ambiguous.

Victor only felt that his mouth was dry, even the little baron's life in the royal capital had never been so extravagant and absurd. Considering that the great knight Elote was in the carriage not far away, Victor suppressed the desire in his heart, calmed down, silently operated the Golden Toad Secret Form, and devoted his attention to the vast heavy rain.

The Golden Toad Shape elevates Victor's perception to an incredible level, and he can whip the ground through the rain to create a colorless image. Victor excitedly tried his limits, he turned on the transcendence and transcendence, the image in his mind became more and more distant, more and more clear, when the perception extended to a distance of 1200 meters, suddenly two people and three horses broke into the image sketched by Victor.

It was two men, wearing hats and leather coats, leading two war horses and a pack horse, with felt blankets on their backs, and the two of them staggered forward in the torrential rain. There were plains all around, there was no shelter from the rain, and the nearest guard was still 10 kilometers away, and in such a harsh climate, it was impossible for them to hold out to the sentry.

Victor was moved by compassion, raised his hand and knocked on the car window, and the one-eyed dragon Gru leaned over and asked, "My lord, what do you command?"

"There are two shipwrecked travelers over there, send some men and fetch them. Victor commanded, pointing to the road.

"Huh?!" Gru stammered as he looked at the rain curtain of white flowers, he couldn't imagine how Lord Lord could know that there were shipwrecked travelers outside.

"Go, just 1 kilometer away. Victor glared at Gru.

"Oh. Gru hurriedly arranged for men to carry out Victor's orders.

Three guards clad in capsules rush into the rain curtain and explore the past in the direction Victor specified.

"Honey, the coffee is ready. ”

Judy's voice sounded behind him, and Victor looked back to see three pairs of watery eyes, and the golden toad's secret form was self-defeating.

The rain was so loud that Elot couldn't hear it, right? Maybe it would be okay to close the windows tightly......

Victor raised his hand to close the window, and he felt that the rain was much quieter.
