After leaving the pass, the terrain gradually increased, and it was not long before the team had to stop.

Because the man in the carriage gave the order "Don't disturb me", Patian, the former governess and now the "traitor", looked at the fork in the road in front of him, and then at the size of Socrates, and hesitated.

He began to try to talk to Socrates.

"Good afternoon, Socrates...... Excellency. ”

The big man glared at the blonde youth with scarlet eyes made of its unknown material.

Patian was a little nervous.

Whoever is watching a three-story behemoth will feel a little nervous. What's more, Patian knew very well that most of his spells were useless to this big man.

"Excuse me...... Which path do you think is better for us to take?"

Originally, he wanted to ask if Socrates had the means to move on the more rugged paths, but when the words came to his lips, he involuntarily became what he is now.

The difference between the two questions is that the former is a question that can be answered through logical judgment based on known intelligence, while the latter is more open-ended......

To what extent can this golem's autonomous consciousness reach? Is it possible to win it over alone? At this moment, a series of thoughts flashed through my mind almost subconsciously.

But the next moment, Patian felt a trace of regret for his carelessness. Since when has scheming and calculation become instincts of one's own behavior?

Such a temptation is pointless, and what he has done is only adding a new rift to the precarious relationship between the two sides. Fortunately, the golem, who has just acquired its own emotions, should not be able to see through the complex minds of human beings.

"People can make mistakes, but they can't make the same mistakes. The three-story giant spoke in a dull voice that made no sense as the sound echoed through the entire team.

Patian didn't know if the big man had seen anything, and he looked in the direction of the carriage with some weakness.

"A truly wise person is able to use the wisdom of others to keep himself from being deceived. Socrates muttered to himself, the scarlet light flashing in the parts of his eyes.

Then Patian saw that the door of the carriage was pushed open.

......

Enid took a deep breath, the fresh mountain air and the lush greenery made her mood slightly relaxed, and on both sides of the road, the rolling hills were covered with verdant broad-leaved plants.

Avoiding the hand of Brati, who wanted to be supported by her, the little girl jumped out of the carriage with ease. The pale blue floral skirt was a little long, but the ground looked quite muddy after the snow.

So the little girl lifted her skirt and tapped her toes, and she suddenly came to the front of the line like a butterfly.

The large team was a mixed bag, with the Golem Legion and a handful of human guides at the front of the group, followed by the Rose Knights and a handful of family guards, as well as ...... The carriage in which the maid sisters of the House of Noble ride. Although Enid did not think that she was so pampered that she could not live without the service of the maids, she did not stop the kindness from her father.

"Rary's-Telepathic-Bond, do you know about this spell?" the little girl asked, as she approached the blonde youth.

Patian nodded slightly, avoiding Enid's gaze.

He was a little uncomfortable with the current relationship between the two parties.

Because of his sister, he picked up a life, but he did not choose to leave first and return to the royal capital, although he knew that once he returned to the royal capital, what awaited him would be flowers and applause, praise and reuse.

No one would blame him for his failure, a five-year-old nine-ring mage, a variable that no one could have expected, on the contrary, people would rejoice in the final result.

The arrival of a Nine-Ring Mage and an entire Golem army will bring a huge turnaround to the stalemate of the kingdom. As for how to deal with the relationship with this young girl, the big ~ mage? The whole royal party is full of confidence in this, after all, the body of this big ~ mage also flows with the blood of the Xiya royal family, isn't it?

But Patian couldn't be so optimistic.

Unlike the people of the royal capital, who were thousands of miles away and had probably just received the news at this time, Patian knew every detail of this incident. He was worried that the little girl would make an irrational decision because of her anger at the conspiracy component.

Politics and Politics!Conspiracy!!!

That year, four trusted friends stood on the top of the White Dome Mountain, looking out over the entire royal capital, and they talked about the world, determined to change the whole country.

But since when has things become the way they are? one conspiracy after another, whatever its starting point, seems so far removed from the dreams of those who stand in the sun and can speak out loud.

Patian was a little distracted, and he made a decision in his mind that he would no longer be involved in politics when he returned to the royal capital, no matter how much his close friends tried to persuade him. Now, all he had to do was do his last duty as a governess.

For the sake of Enid, and for the sake of the kingdom, he sincerely hopes that everything will go in the best direction.

Patian's slight distraction made the little girl impatient.

"Did you hear what I said?"

"Yes, yes, I heard that. The blonde youth replied, "I know this spell, though I can't use it. ”

Larry's Teleconnect is a spell that connects two creatures and allows them to use their minds to talk to each other. As a warlock, they are not free to learn the spells they want to learn like a mage, they are limited by bloodline. Therefore, in the life of a warlock, there is not a lot of autonomy over what spells he can master.

"Now that you know, if there is anything going on in the future, just tell it directly and let it tell me. I'll try to maintain this spell while I'm on the road. ”

After explaining, the little girl looked ahead: "So, what is the difference between these two roads?"

"The path on the left, which was used by merchants who avoided taxes, was able to get around the city of Count Ole...... And the one on the right is a normal road. ”

"So, why do we take the path?" asked Enid.

Patian smiled: "Although we are not merchants, we also have to pay toll tax, which is good in the county of Ole, and there will be more places to charge in the next county...... And, all kinds of taxes that you can't imagine at all. ”

Enid frowned in disgust: "I don't mind paying some taxes properly......"

The little girl accented the word "appropriately", and then, her target glanced at the mighty golems, and the meaning was self-evident.

Patian also looked at the golems: "So taxes and everything are secondary, and these are the problems." If you were a local lord, would you watch such a team pass by your territory and remain indifferent?"

The little girl looked a little bored: "Then what will they do?"

"I don't know what they're going to do, but I'm sure they're not going to do nothing. Patian said calmly, "Anything is possible to be on the lookout for temptation, to woo overtures, or even to try to seize control of this legion." ”

"And most importantly, ...... Your attitude. Patian looked at Enid.

"My attitude? I just want to see the outside world. ”

"Do you think you can really be a quiet bystander?" Patian smiled a little coldly.

Enid looked down at the corner of her skirt, as if worried about the sludge on the ground, and then replied flatly, "Why not?"

Patian felt the will in Enid's words, and he was silent for a few moments.

"I see. Finally, he said.

"Then I suggest that we take the trail better. It not only eliminates the false and wrongful relationship with the local lord, but also saves a sum of money by the way. Patian shrugged: "The only problem is...... It's too big. ”

Enid looked at Socrates, "I'll fix this." ”

PS: When I used to read novels, I would always encounter a situation where the author promised a few changes, but couldn't be sprayed. At that time, I thought to myself, they are so stupid, why should they make promises. It wasn't until I also wrote a novel that I realized that promises are not only for readers, but also for yourself.

So, now I'm going to make a promise that I'll keep updating it every day from today until the end of the second volume.
