Gusts of cold wind swept down from the Toyalun Mountains, beating mercilessly at the speeding caravans. Although the road at www.biquge.info the foot of the mountain is relatively wide and flat, the speeding carriage is still too fast and bumpy. Miloca, who sat in the carriage at the head of the team, struggled to keep his balance, he had spent more than ten days in such bumps, and the carriage had been shaking so badly in recent days that it seemed to be shattered into useless timber in the next moment. Miloca was quite concerned about the safety of the carriage, and on several occasions mentioned the incident to the owner of the caravan who was in the same carriage, but the lady with a dignified manner, noble and elegant lady smiled at it. The caravan guards called the lady Lady Anna, who looked to be less than forty years old, and was said to be one of the most powerful women in the pancontinent. Madame Anna always smiled softly, whether the carriage was bogged down in a torrential rain, or the caravan was attacked by robbers on a remote road, as if everything was expected and under her control.

The caravan came to a sudden halt, and Miloca was almost thrown out of the car by inertia. "Robbers again!" thought to Miloca, he was used to robber attacks. Strange as it may seem, the caravan of four large carriages and more than twenty knightly guards did not seem to be carrying any goods, except that Lady Anna and her two retinues and Miloka sat in the first carriage, and the last three carriages were used entirely for the rest of the escort - at first Miloca also sat in the back carriage, and then was called by Lady Anna to take the lead carriage because he had jumped out of the carriage and fought the robbers during the first attack. The caravan also traveled on a bizarre route, avoiding almost all major highways and picking off the beaten path. Except for necessary supplies, caravans never entered the town, let alone purchased and sold, and even when they had to pass through small villages, they never stopped too long. After the departure from the watchtower, every night the caravan camped in the field, with the carriage that Anna was riding as the center, and the other three or two carriages were arranged in a circle, and the guards and knights kept vigil and rested in batches, and continued to rush desperately at dawn, without stopping. The whole caravan seemed to be eagerly escorting something, but it was impossible to figure out where the escort was. In any case, such a secretive caravan was a good target in the eyes of the robbers, but fortunately, the knights who guarded them were experienced and highly skilled, and the knight named Venal at the head of the caravan was extremely perceptive, always sensing danger before the caravan entered the range of the robbers' ambush. Although the bandits were nothing to mention with this group of knights, Lady Anna's composure still made Miloca feel a little excessive.

"Don't worry, let them take care of it. Lady Anna said with a gentle smile still on her face. Shouts and fights soon sounded outside the carriage, and soon stopped, and the caravan began to hurry again. I don't know if it was Miloca's delusion, or if the situation had really changed, after being attacked by the bandits, the speed of the caravan slowed down, and the carriage no longer trembled violently, much more smoothly than before.

"Lady Anna, you have left the Toaron Mountains. "There was a report from the guards outside the carriage.

"Got it. Lady Anna responded, and Miloka finally saw her serious face, and she smiled all the way, giving Miloca the illusion that "Lady Anna has no other expression than to smile". But the solemnity faded quickly, like ice and snow under the flames, and melted away without a trace. "What are you going to do when you get to the imperial capital?" asked Lady Anna, who had regained her smile, Miloca.

Lady Anna's questioning startled Miloca, who suddenly remembered something important, rummaged through her bags in a panic, and finally pulled out two letters. The letter was given to Miloka by Ives when he left the Watch Fort, one was written by Ives himself, and before he left, Ives repeatedly told Miloka to read it when he arrived in the imperial capital, and the other, according to Ives, was left by Solana and asked him to wait for Miloka to leave for the imperial capital. Because of the rush of the journey, Miloca almost forgot about the letter, but fortunately, Lady Anna's concern inadvertently reminded him.

Madame Anna looked at the panicked teenager in front of her, as if she remembered something, and smiled more gently, and when Miloca realized her faux pas and respectfully apologized to her, she only shook her head slightly, closed her eyes and fell into the memory.

Seeing that Lady Anna was starting to rest, Miloka opened Solana's letter, which contained a transfer order similar to that when she joined the Imperial Army at the Watch Fortress, which read: "To the officers of the Fourth Fortress of the Imperial Capital Guard: In the name of the Templars, I transfer Miloca, a reserve soldier of the Watchfort on the southern border of the Empire, to the Fourth Fortress of the Imperial Capital, and promote him to the rank of private in the regular army. Solana Austin. There was also a note in the letter that was also Solanya's notes, but it was much more sloppy, roughly describing the location of the fourth fortress in the imperial capital, the procedure for promotion to private, and some words of concern. Milocawan never expected Solana to think things out so thoughtfully, for Solana, he was just a stranger who happened to rescue, maybe he would never meet again after parting with the Watchtower, why should he bother so much. "What a kind person. Miloca thought, secretly determined not to disappoint Solana's enthusiasm.

In the two days after leaving the Toyalun Mountains, probably because of its proximity to the imperial capital, the caravan was not attacked again, and its speed gradually slowed down. The closer the caravan got to the imperial capital, the closer it was to the northern tip of the continent, and the wind became more violent and biting. Finally, on a sunny but cold afternoon, the gradually noisy environment interrupted Miloca's rest. As the caravan passed through the wide, noisy square, it stopped in front of a huge circular building, and even before getting out of the car, Miloka could clearly hear the shouts and cheers of the building.

"Terminal!" the guard tapped lightly on the window of the carriage, and as soon as Miloca and Madame Anna got out of the carriage, she was grabbed by the neck by the middle-aged guard who came over. "Welcome to the Imperial Capital, rookie. Miloka vaguely remembered that the dark-skinned guard was called Cole, as if he were Weiner's deputy.

"He's much better than you were when you were seventeen. Weiner walked over and patted Cole on the shoulder and said, "Come with us later, you have to get nervous all the way out of the Watch Castle, it's time to relax, I know a good tavern." ”

Miloca was grateful that everyone had taken care of him these days, and he was eager to accept Weiner's invitation, but thinking about Solana's expectations of him, he was a little embarrassed and said, "But I'm not old enough to drink." ”

"Haha, the law says when you can hold a bucket full of spirits and drink bitterly, but it doesn't stipulate when you can pinch those leprechaun's asses!" Cole said, slapping Miloca's ass hard.

"Cole, don't teach bad kids. Lady Anna, who was not far away, had spoken to a few dwarves before returning to the carriage when Cole smirked and instigated Miloca. "Miloca, don't you really take my advice into account? Lady Anna said with a smile.

"Mrs. Anna, I am very grateful for the care of you and everyone during this time, how can I be embarrassed to bother you too much. Besides, Solanya paved the way for me, and I really can't live up to his kindness. ”

"Solan, you're a good boy, too. Madame Anna looked thoughtfully into the distance, and soon said to Miloca with a smile on her face: "Since you have made up your mind, I wish you well, and if you encounter any difficulties, come to me in the arena, the door of the Sinka Consortium will always be open to you." ”

"Thank you for your appreciation, and thank you all, I'll go first. Miloca politely said goodbye to everyone and turned to leave.

Madame Anna kept her eyes on Miloca, who was so alone, walking through the crowded squares and busy streets, and finally disappeared from sight. "How nice it would be if you were still here!" said Lady Anna with a soft sigh.
