The caravan departed.

At the edge of one of the vans, Elle found a seat.

Ellie wants to go through this journey calmly and in a low profile, but others won't let her get her way, after all, a young and beautiful woman always attracts people's attention.

Not long after the caravan departed, several mercenaries on horseback approached Ellie's van.

The stout man in the lead whistled at Ellie, and shouted in a flirtatious tone, "Hey, chick, do you want to try my big black horse......?

Seeing them slowly approaching, Ai Li already knew that trouble was inevitable, so at this time, without waiting for the other party's words to finish, the gray-haired girl patted her waist lightly, and the long sword Gucheng instantly ejected, turning into a golden streamer and shooting towards the leading man.

"Phew!" the big black horse stopped running forward, and with a long neigh, the man stood up.

Just now, the man only felt a flash of golden light in front of him, although he didn't see what was happening, but the intuition of how many times he rolled between life and death made him instantly tighten the reins. Then, until this moment, he, and several mercenaries behind him, could see clearly, a strangely shaped golden long sword, less than three inches in front of his face, standing in the air.

Cold sweat flowed down like a waterfall.

Ellie glanced back and forth with a warning gaze, then waved her hand and sheathed her sword.

One trouble left, and another came to the door.

After the mercenaries departed in a huff, a carriage quickly approached, and the curtains on the side of the carriage were opened, revealing the chubby smiling face of the caravan owner.

"Looks like I'm making another big business. The merchant smiled and said, "Young master, please come and rest in my carriage." ”

Ellie waved her hand and said, "No need, I like it...... The wind in the wilderness. ”

"Really?" the merchant rolled his eyes, as if he had no intention of giving up the conversation, "What a great thing! But...... It's not that I'm Link's boast, in the Northlands, there are high-level professionals with names and surnames, I still basically recognize them, but ......"

Sure enough, when asked about this, the girl sighed secretly: "I'm from Westshire in the south of Thea, because my family ......"

Speaking of this, Elle deliberately made an unspeakable look and vaguely said, "...... Because there was a little problem in the family, I decided to come to the north to explore and see. ”

"Oh oh ~ is it?" the merchant smiled fakely, "Northland is good, here, you never have to worry about running out of tasks to do. And compared to the magical country in the south, our northern land is a more suitable place for swordsmen to train themselves!"

Ellie nodded solemnly, "I think so too." ”

"Ah by the way, I heard that this year's Winter Veil Festival in that basin of your Xiya is particularly lively?"

Ellie hesitated for a moment: "It seems that something has indeed happened, it seems that the upper echelons of Xiya's kingdom have openly broken with the nobles in the basin, alas, this world, it is really unclear what will happen in the future." ”

"Is it? It's rare for the north to be calm, and the south is going to be chaotic again?" the merchant shook his head and looked embarrassed: "The unlucky ones are all us businessmen who do serious business." ”

Elle glanced at him, the little master once jokingly said that those who say they are serious are often not serious people.

"In the past two years, Xiya has become more and more strict with us," the fat middle-aged man frowned and complained, "It's getting harder and harder to get a pass." ”

"Pass?"

"yes. The merchant replied, "Thea's iron ore, weapons, grain, etc., if you want to bring them to the north, you need a pass." ”

"I see, there must be a lot of businessmen who choose to smuggle. ”

"Smuggler?" the merchant's eyes flickered, then he made a look of surprise, "what are you kidding, we all have to be careful in our own wilderness, especially in the hills of Thea, which is the territory of the Goliaths. ”

......

"Goliath? ...... Is there anything special?" asked the silver-haired little girl.

"Most Goliaths are 7,8 feet tall (2.1 m ~ 2.4 m) tall and larger than the strongest orcs, who are nomads living in the mountains. His Royal Highness, who was standing in front of the window, explained, "At present, the Goliaths of the Goliaths are probably the most powerful of the military forces at our disposal...... At least, in the mountains and forests of Thea. ”

"Cliff top shooter......" Enid chewed on the meaning of the word.

"yes, you can't imagine how far they can shoot and how accurate they can be. On the other side of the little girl, her cousin, a girl with light purple hair, nodded thoughtfully, her expression very serious: "Thanks to my brother's efforts, I have pulled them into our camp." ”

His Royal Highness the young king waved his hand: "When I was young, I saw them in the mountains near the White Dome Mountain, and I got along with them very well at that time, and later, after I became king, I also took advantage of the situation to ask them. ”

"Really?" Enid smacked her lips, not paying much attention to Revonne's brief description, "It seems that as a leader, you are quite charismatic, I don't believe that in the years before you became king, those local nobles, there were ...... Your father did not touch their thoughts. ”

Lei Feng smiled and added, "They are actually one of the Goliath tribes from the depths of the Hengduan Mountains, although they are far away from the tribes, but you know, they will always retain some more or less peculiar traditions, so it is not so easy to win them over. ”

"So, the Cliff Marksman, the Rose Knights, the Guardsmen of the Royal Family, the private soldiers of the various families who support you...... Well, that's all. The little girl sat on a high-backed chair and looked at the two people in front of her: "Then, I thought, it's time for you to arrange that ...... Master Egger, have you met me?"

......

After watching His Royal Highness and his sister leave, the guard at the door gently closed the door, and then stood in the doorway with a serious expression.

"Why are you still here? and, my maids. The little girl glanced at it and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Eh?" the serious expression on the guard's face instantly collapsed: "Miss, I'm Miles, I'm Sir Ramon's son! Before I left St. Valentine's City that day, I swore allegiance to you in the Lilac family's castle." ”

Uh, the little girl was a little embarrassed, it turned out to be someone she brought, and she thought it was someone who didn't understand the rules, the original guard here.

"Baron Ramon, is the sheriff in the city......" Enid nodded, the little girl still had an impression of this sheriff who was on the side of the Lilac family at the last moment. As for his son's oath of allegiance, it seems that there was indeed such a thing, but because he was in a chaotic and low mood during that time, he was not too impressed.

Enid thought for a moment and casually asked, "Miles, why did you come out with me? Isn't it good to stay in the basin?

"No, no, no, it's me who begged my father, begged him to let me follow the eldest lady. The young man patted his chest and said excitedly.

Seeing the other party's appearance, Enid was a little interested, and she put down the file in her hand: "Oh......? Follow me, will there be more opportunities to make meritorious deeds?"

"Well, it's not that I haven't thought about it, but the most important thing is that!" the young guard clenched his fist with one hand and put it on his chest, his eyes shining: "Miss, you...... You're so handsome!"

"From the day of the Winter Veil Festival, when I saw you, the eldest lady, I made up my mind to follow you. By the way, and the scene where Mr. Socrates smashed the square and crawled out of the ground, it was amazing! It was shocking! It was a scene that would only appear in a legendary novel, and I realized at that moment ......."

He raised his hands high, looked at the silver-haired young girl behind the bookcase, and reverently knelt down on one knee: "Miss, you...... This is definitely a living legend that is about to unfold! To have such an opportunity to follow the protagonist and experience a life that can be written into a legendary story, will I still choose to stay in the basin and continue to live the boring life before!"

The young guard reveled in his imagination and could not help himself, while the little girl behind the bookcase covered her forehead helplessly, speechless.

Isn't the character of this squire a bit ...... Too lively?
