Three days had passed since the caravan set out from the temple of Ilmat, but there was still no end in sight to the wilderness in front of them, and this was only a part of the territory of the diocese of Clay. In this vast land, except for the human cities dotted between them and their surroundings, most of the areas are not dominated by human civilization.

The Northland is huge, and because of this, the outlaws who roam the wasteland can escape, breathe, and lick their wounds when they are purged by the regular military. Therefore, it is almost impossible for a team, a caravan to travel through this wilderness, and not encounter danger.

Over the past three days, the caravan has been attacked several times. Anything, when it becomes the norm, people always act more calmly, just as at this time, the pungent smell of blood has not yet dissipated, and the caravan is ready to return to the road.

In the battle just now, Elle also took action herself, killing the leader of the attacking bear goblin clan. At this time, Elle, who was already the guest of honor in the caravan, did not have to make a move when facing an enemy of this level.

Elle knows this too, but she has her own considerations.

The Spear Flower Mercenary Regiment has been famous in the Northland for many years, they left the Northland a few months ago and returned to Thea, such news should be known to many people in the Northland, and William's long sword Lonely City, there must be many people who recognize it, therefore, Elle showed this sword in the most eye-catching way in the battle just now.

At the same time, Xiya is a small country, and the Islay Basin, a small country within a country, is even more insignificant in the eyes of people in the outside world, and people in the lower classes may not even know that there is such a place. A few months after their return to Thea, Captain William's sidearm appeared in the hands of a strange, young senior professional......

So, when they focused their eyes on Thea, on that small country of corridors, some unknown rural place, racking their brains to guess their origins and connections with the Gun Flower Mercenary Regiment, they would never have thought that they were originally from the Northlands, and moreover, they were also a ...... with a bloody wish Avenger.

The gray-haired girl sat on the edge of the caravan, looking at the sky in deep thought, while in the carriage on the other side of the caravan, the owner of the caravan was looking at the man sitting across from him with a serious expression.

"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" said the fat merchant without a hint of a smile on his face.

Opposite him, the leader of the caravan of mercenaries replied affirmatively, "Yes, that strange shape, and it is made of pure gold, which is no less precious...... Definitely a weapon of Master William!"

After hearing the other party's answer, the merchant frowned: "Gun flower...... She already had an unclear relationship with the royal family of Xiya, could that girl be?"

"You mean...... She's Thea's spy?" The mercenary leader was surprised, and then shook his head again: "Strength...... It's enough, but such a spy is a little too tender, right?"

The merchant did not respond to the other party's question, he thought for a moment, and finally made a decision: "Although the attitude towards the country in the south is still very ambiguous now, but ...... In any case, it is necessary to inform. Let your people settle down these days and stop messing with her. ”

"I understand. The mercenary leader smiled indifferently: "However, if that little girl is really a spy, the king in the south is too stupid haha." ”

......

And thousands of miles to the south, in the beautiful white palace at the top of the majestic mountain city, His Majesty, who did not know that he had been regarded as a fool, hurried into a room by the window, and after a brief conversation with the people in the room, His Majesty left with a frown.

"Miles, what do you think?" The silver-haired little girl in the room frowned as well, but now, there was no longer a maid babbling about children not to frown.

"Conspiracy! I think there must be a big conspiracy among them!, Miss, we must be careful!" At the order of the little girl, the gentleman, who could not speak without questioning, seemed to be suffocated, and he waved his arms exaggeratedly, as if this would strengthen the persuasiveness of the words.

Shaking her head helplessly, Enid made a gesture to shut up, and then thought carefully about the intentions of the master Egger.

"Master Egger said that he would be waiting for your arrival in his magic tower. This was the message that His Majesty had just brought, and Enid was a little surprised by such a response.

In the little girl's opinion, as a disciple of the legendary mage, that Master Egger was able to represent the will of the magical power to the south, at least to a certain extent. And now the form is very simple, the little Xiya is sandwiched between a south and a north, between the two giant beasts, ready to move in the north, today, the people in power in the south should have some expressions anyway. You must know that among Thea, there are nobles who admire the wind of the kingdom and want to throw themselves into the arms of Sophie...... There are also them, although they do not belong to either the royal party or the faction of the fiefdom aristocracy, but only a few unruly nobles who do not have any real power.

Enid remembered the indifference that Master Egg had shown in the days of his arrival.

Is it a posturing? wants to establish a psychological advantage for the rest of the conversation? So does this mean that the South really wants something from Thea? And what is the position of the Noble family, which he represents, in it? In addition, Enid does not believe that his father does not understand the situation outside, and what does he want to do if he allows himself to be involved in such a troublesome situation?

Thinking of these messy things, the little girl felt a little annoyed, in this regard, what is needed is more the wisdom brought by experience than pure intelligence, and experience is precisely the hard injury of this young girl ~ mage.

In any case, I still had to find a chance to meet the guy who was holding the gesture, and after the little girl who had made a hasty decision without thinking about it, she suddenly felt a sense of relaxation.

She looked at the squire who was holding back and said, "I have something to say."

"Speaking of which, what have you been doing in the first few days, why haven't you seen you?" Enid remembered.

It seemed to have been asked, and after hearing this question, the young attendant looked proud: "We know that our strength is limited, and we can't help you with the eldest lady, so as soon as we move into the White Spring Palace, we will take over the kitchen here! Now, even what His Majesty wants to eat, we have to listen to our arrangements!"

"I see, no wonder it feels like the recipes of the past few days have not changed much from before......," Enid suddenly realized, and the king, on his side, probably thought that these people's actions were at his own behest, so he acquiesced.

"That's right, it's all according to the taste that the eldest lady used to like!And it can also prevent the conspiracy of some invisible people, such as poisoning or something!" Miles' chest straightened higher.

Poisoning?Detecting poison is just a zero-level trick, and I'm not defenseless, I usually do it, and more importantly, I actually want to try the specialties here......

"You're doing a good job. But on the surface, she could only say something so lightly, and the little girl felt that she was crying in her heart.

Miles looked encouraged.

"By the way, who taught you these things?

"No, no one told me this, but isn't it like this in knight novels......? Although you are not a hero or anything, I think it is more dangerous than a hero!"

“......”

(That is, the setting mentioned at the end of the volume, when writing the first volume, many people read it when they crossed, and as a result, all kinds of glass hearts exploded in the back...... Well, actually, I'm also a glass heart. ）
