The magic caravan traveled through the long street, the street was covered with a thin layer of snow, several black ruts and countless messy horseshoe prints were like a letter pen scribbling on a blank piece of paper, and a layer of snow also fell on the ridges and courtyard walls in the distance, and the pedestrians on both sides of the road wrapped their clothes in the cold wind, and walked briskly towards their homes with their heads down.

A faint layer of moisture condenses on the windows of some shops on the street, and a warm and soft light shines from the inside.

Karl reached out and knocked on the window, and the coachman in front of the caravan whispered to the Guborai horse, and then the caravan began to slow down and stopped on the side of the road.

The coachman jumped down from the driver's seat, stood at the door of the carriage and respectfully asked Karl, "Young Master Karl, what do you command?" ”

Karl pushed open the window, and the clear air outside drifted in with snowflakes, and Carl instructed the coachman, "Let's turn around and go to the Garden Square Hotel." ”

The coachman was well acquainted with the various locations in the city of Highlandsa, and said respectfully, "Yes, Master Karl. ”

After saying that, he sat back in the driver's seat, faced the fluttering snowflakes, turned around at the street intersection, and drove the carriage to the garden square in the center of the city.

Samea sat beside Karl, her amber eyes flashing with a hint of discoloration, she reached out and grabbed Karl's arm, rested her head on Karl's shoulder, and took the opportunity to look Surdak up and down with a pair of large clear eyes, her thin lips slightly upturned, raising a seductive arc.

Surdak was slightly drunk, supported his forehead with his hands, reclined on the soft sofa, and said to Karl: "This snow will probably last all night, and I am going to leave the city of Highlandsa tomorrow morning." ”

Karl looked surprised, he knew that Surdak must be lying, at this time he could not leave the city of Highlandsa casually, unless he gave up the knight academy side of the training, but this was almost impossible. Karl was tempted to ask him: Are you drunk and talking nonsense?

Apparently Surdak didn't, because he only drank a little ale, he just took the opportunity to pretend to be drunk, although Karl couldn't figure out why, he still tried to cooperate: "Why are you in a hurry to leave Hylanza City, isn't the matter here still not dealt with?" ”

Surdak twisted his body to make himself more comfortable on the sofa, and then said slurredly: "After the first snowfall, it means that winter is coming, and I am worried that the mountain road will be difficult to pass in a few days, since I have decided to go, then I will leave here as soon as possible before the snow has fallen." ”

Carl asked again: "When will you come back after leaving this time?" ”

Surdak barely opened his eyes and replied, "Next spring, at least for now, I plan to do so, and if there is a need for me, remember to send me a letter." ”

After a while, Karl said, "Okay, then you should be careful on the road." ”

The hotel is on the south side of the Garden Square, just opposite the tavern, the distance between the two places is not too far, the magic caravan just turned around the street, and arrived at this very warmly furnished hotel, the glass door at the door of the hotel was wiped very clean and transparent, and the snow on the steps of the door was very clean, needless to say that this must have been swept by the innkeeper himself, he was always so industrious.

The lights were lit in the inn, and the carriage came to a slow stop at the door of the inn, and Karl kissed Summer's pretty white face apologetically, and whispered to her: "My dear, Surdak seems to be drunk, I don't worry about letting him walk back to the hotel by himself, I must send him back to his room, do you want to go to the hotel with me, or just wait for me in the carriage for a while?" ”

Sameya blinked wide-eyed and replied, "I'll be waiting for you in the car." ”

"I'll be right back......"

After speaking, Karl stretched out his hand and pushed open the door, beckoned to the entourage outside the carriage, asked him to help Surdak who was stumbling a little, and he also set up Surdak's other arm, and the two of them set up Surdak and helped him into the hotel.

The proprietress at the front desk of the hotel lobby knew Carl and Surdak, and when she saw that Karl was almost carrying Surdak in like a puddle of mud, she hurriedly stepped forward to help, and shouted to the owner of the inn who was clearing the snow in the back yard, asking him to come over to help, while constantly complaining loudly that he had never seen a Surdak knight drink so much alcohol and be drunk like this......

Karl quietly asked the innkeeper for a room on the third floor, and helped Surdak into the room and let him lie on the bed, while the innkeeper was busy preparing the hot soup for the decanting.

When only Karl was left in the room, Surdak suddenly opened his eyes, and saw that he was still a little drunk, and he said to Karl: "You can find a reason to get rid of Miss Samiya, and I will tell you the reason......"

"Okay." Karl didn't ask any more questions, turned around and left with his entourage.

Surdak waited in the hotel room for only about two quarters of an hour, and then saw Karl return to the hotel with his entourage, and he walked into the hotel with a snowflake and ordered his entourage to wait at the door, at which time Surdak had even prepared lemon tea in the room.

Karl sat in the chair across from the bed and asked Surdak, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Surdak sat on the head of the bed and said to Karl, "Remember when you took me to the opera house last week?" Then you and Mrs. Christie left first, and I prepared to go back to the Knights Academy through the alley behind the opera house, which, in fact, I had been trying to tell you about, when the alley behind the opera house was separated by an iron fence......"

He told Carl in detail what he had seen that night.

Karl asked with a solemn face, "So, you saw Samia board Baron Grenfell's magic caravan?" ”

"That's it." Surdak nodded.

Karl stretched out his hands, rubbed his cheeks vigorously, and said with a depressed expression: "Maybe Samiya is not what you think......"

In spite of all that Surdak had said, he was a little reluctant to believe that Samia was connected to Baron Grenfell, which was tantamount to denying his personal charm and suggesting that the opera dancer approached him purely for some ulterior motives.

Surdak took a cup of lemon tea and said to Karl, "We don't have to sit here and speculate about what kind of person Miss Somerya is, maybe there will be an answer tonight." ”

"You mean...... Will they do something tonight? Carl thought for a moment before asking.

Surdak nodded and said, "I guess they already know about my existence, and they don't want to let me leave Highlandsa City like this, they are even worried that they won't be able to catch me up outside the city, if they want to do something to me, tonight must be the best time." ”

Then he added: "Of course, this is just speculation, maybe it won't happen at all, but no matter what, I have to be a little prepared." ”

Karl took a deep breath and said to Surdak, "I'll do some preparations, and it's best to catch all these rats hiding in the city's sewers this time." ”
