Chapter 22: Parting Time
The wind and snow of the night call sign to the morning unexpectedly much smaller, the silver-covered Delta town once again showed its most charming side in front of Christine, although it was the time of parting, but it did not prevent Christine from enjoying the snow scene, since becoming a guardian, the snow in Delta Town has always been her haunting scenery, although in hundreds of years, as a guardian Christine has walked through many places, but the hometown is lifted by the breeze, scattered snowflakes, is the deepest hidden pure land in her heart.

Christine slowly walked to the east gate of Delta Town, where Mayor Tibis and his assistant Johansen were already waiting, and the captain of the garrison, Tismar, led thirty heavily armed guardians. A very luxuriously decorated carriage stopped in the middle of the road, and when Christine approached, out of respect for the superior, the Guardians bowed in unison, and in the eyes of the Guardians, Lord Christine today was more energetic and heroic than ever.
"Dear Lord Christine, I have sent someone to load your luggage and parcels into this car, and you will be ready to leave immediately," Tibes greeted him with a smile on his face, and said very respectfully.
"Well, Mayor Mare bothered. Christine said with a blank face.
"Where, where, is where my duty lies, by the way, yesterday I received a notification from the Oracle City that the most elite personal guards of the Mirage Legion have been stationed and waiting in the Oracle City, and the next journey will be escorted by them personally, and it will be safer. In this way, Lord Tismar will have to escort you to the City of Oracles. ”
"Hmm"
"Please," Tibis said respectfully, opening the side door of the carriage himself, bowing respectfully.
The moment she stepped into the carriage, Christine looked around again, but the person she was most expecting still hadn't appeared.
"My lord, do you have any other concerns?" asked Tibes, keenly catching the flicker of loss on Christine's face.
Christine took one last look at Delta with mixed feelings, sighed "no" and got into the carriage.
"Let's go!" Tismal at the head of the queue ordered, and thirty Guardians escorted the carriage and slowly drove out of Delta Town.
"Goodbye, Alan Wuai, forgive me for my willfulness, the heavy memory of the Lord God's Shield is still borne by me alone. Listening to the carriage gently rolling over the snow, Christine slowly spread her palms, and the shield badge shining with a golden six-pointed star lay quietly in the palm of her hand, and last night, this shield badge was still embedded in Alan's breastplate.
A moment later, the badge was held tightly again, and Christine whispered, "Dragons, you first took away my Raphael, and now I have to leave Ellen, unforgivable, absolutely, unforgivable!" The dark blue eyes once again burned with a raging fire of fighting spirit, but what was contained in this fire was endless killing intent・・・・・・
Around the carriage, even the guardians, who had long been accustomed to the cold of the Northland, felt a chill on their backs almost at the same time・・・・・・
In the snowy wilderness, silent and desolate, a caravan of five loaded wagons and twenty caravan escorts walked through the snow on the main road, and in half a day the caravan returned to the town of Delta, where they had started. The ruts, the tired horses, the vigilant guards all told others that the things in the carriage were worth a lot. But along the way, no bandits dared to rob the caravan. It's not because of the twenty guards. Although all of them are fierce-looking, they can be seen as outlaws. But what makes the thieves most jealous is not this, but the emblem on the carriage, on the round bottom of sterling silver, the simple golden ivy binds a red dragon with wings, but the dragon's back also straddles a stunning naked woman, the woman crosses her hands in front of her chest, tightly pulling the two golden rattans that strangle the dragon's neck, although blocking the most tempting scenery, but the beautiful lines exposed under the elbow are enough to arouse endless imagination, and a soft and charming smile at the corner of the mouth is even more inducing infinite reverie, if it is not for the dragon's wings covering the woman's lower body, I am afraid there will be more sultry, which can be seenThe designer of this emblem is probably a 'battle-hardened' veteran, and he knows a truth, that is, those who are invisible are the best.
I don't know when, this caravan began to frequently walk between Delta Town and the rest of the town, the bandits near Delta Town did not know the meaning of this emblem, often coveted the goods on the carriage, one day, they did not hesitate to risk forming a few twenty or thirty people, rushed up, wanted to take these goods for themselves, what they did not expect was that these rabble gathered in the mountains and forests had not yet touched the carriage, and in a blink of an eye they were defeated by the twenty guards of the caravan, and the thieves who were immortal gathered a team of 100 people, intercepted the caravan in the field, and the twenty guards were outnumbered, and at the critical moment, a slender hand was stretched out in the carriage, Gently on the emblem, a dazzling light flashed, and three guardians actually appeared in the crowd! This seemingly bewitching emblem is actually a small teleportation circle!
Vulnerable to the Guardians, the bandits fled in rout, and they later discovered the owner of the emblem, who had a chilling name to hear—Laxa Klein. You know, many mountain bandits were originally squire giants, but they were bankrupt by this woman, and they had to bring their families to the grass as a last resort, and the "woman who is more cunning than the old dragon" was originally a nickname given to Laxa by some of these victims, but she never expected that Laxa actually borrowed this and remade the emblem of the Klein Chamber of Commerce!
In Laksha's own words, "More cunning than a dragon? ”
As a result of this battle, the Klein Chamber of Commerce has grown in fame and has fewer and fewer rivals, and in recent years, Laxa has begun to reach out to several neighboring towns in preparation for a new round of annexation and expansion. Today's batch of goods was what she had just 'bought' from a large magical material in nearby Curauun City, a truckload of adamantite ore, boxes of precious magic scrolls, and countless magical raw materials. For these, Klein paid the poor man only one gold coin. For Laxia, even this gold coin she was extremely reluctant to give, just to convince herself that this batch of things was not robbed... In fact, her behavior was no different from robbery, but the opponent had no way to complain, and could not find a trace of evidence, not that the opponent was too stupid, but that Laxa knew what kind of way would be useful. For example, this time, Laksa only used a permit signed by the city lord of Curauun City to take over all the property of this poor man, as for how this permission order came about, this poor man did not dare to ask at all, as the guardian of the city lord, he has absolute authority in the human world.
The person at the front of the queue noticed something strange in the middle of the road, so he waved his hand lightly, and then the whole caravan slowly stopped moving, and on a carriage in the center, a fair-skinned slender hand with a sapphire ring opened a small window, and a delicate voice came from the carriage: "Charlie, why did you stop?"
Charlie stepped forward, brushed away the snow from the thing, frowned, and then walked over to Laxa's carriage, "I'm sorry Miss Laxia, it's just ・・・・・・・ blue ice in front of me." It was me who made a fuss. ”
"Blue ice?" Laksha, who was in the car, noticed a hint of strangeness in Charlie's tone, and asked, "Just a piece of ice?"
"There's another person in this, I think I'm freezing to death・・・・・・"
