"Francis?"

The soldier's gaze scanned the girls again, as if to confirm something. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"It's the place where the rebels near Yangdu looted, but since they are refugees there, why did they choose to come here instead of going to Yangdu?"

In the face of questioning, Xia Ji did not waver again, and said the answer she had already thought of.

"Because we felt that the central capital would also be attacked by the rebels, we chose the route of fleeing to the north. ”

"So that's it?"

The soldier turned his gaze to his colleague, as if asking for his advice.

"And what about adventurers? What is this strange name?"

For the soldiers guarding the post, there are many questions for the girls.

"Well, because I'm more adventurous, and these days of life on the run are like adventures to me, so I unconsciously call myself an adventurer, and I hope you can ignore it. ”

At this time, the soldiers' expressions suddenly became serious, which made Xia Ji a little overwhelmed, and just when the girl thought that she had said something wrong, the next action of the soldiers made her understand that the serious atmosphere in the inspection center was not because of her.

"Isn't that Lord Willows' carriage? The carriage before that was the family crest of the Count of Fenance?

Through the window of the checkhouse, Natsuhime saw six luxurious carriages parked in front of the city gates.

The wheels are gilded, and although the parts that touch the ground are made of a stronger material instead of such a luxurious material, the entire wheel part is reported to be covered with a gold-encrusted frame.

The same is true of the bodywork, which is not pure gold, but where it is revealed, such as the family crest, no effort is spared to make the carriage look shiny.

Is this so that outsiders will be blinded as soon as they see it? Just having a family crest is enough to show your identity, so why do you want to make it shiny? Where are you the king? Why bother to make yourself like an upstart?

This is what Natsuki thought when she first saw Count Fernans.

Moving his gaze back, the carriage with the family crest of Baron Willow entered Xia Ji's line of sight, although it was still a luxury carriage, but it was a little overshadowed by the carriage of Count Fernans.

The nobility had all the decorations, but there were no extravagant decorations other than that, was it because of Baron Willos's personality, or did he do it to deliberately give Count Fernans a sense of accomplishment?

"Hey, hey, what's going on, guys!" a stern voice sounded outside the inspection center, and the object of his roar was clearly the entire inspection center.

A soldier ran out in a panic.

"Captain, what's the matter?"

"What are you talking about? Are you blind? Didn't you see the carriage of Lord Willows and Lord Fernans?"

"Look—I see. The soldier was a little nervous. "When I'm done inspecting the carriage in front of me, I'll let the adults go. ”

"Do you still want a job!?" the soldier shook again from the captain's sudden roar. "Hurry up and put the carriage in front of you!How dare you make Lord Willows wait?What are you thinking!?"

"Yes, yes, I'll do it. The soldier nodded in panic.

The soldiers in the inspection post took the lead before they could wait for the soldiers who had gone out to return after hearing the captain's order.

"So you can enter the city," the soldier panicked, stamping a document and handing it to Natsuhime. The previous solemn atmosphere is long gone, "Hurry, hurry, if we make Lord Willows angry, we're all finished!"

Natsuki, who had obtained permission to enter the city for strange reasons, walked out of the checkpoint with Phidelia.

"I really didn't expect that even without magic, there would be nobles with such great authority. Natsuki, who was pulling the carriage, said to Phidelia.

"After all, the people they rule are accustomed to being ruled, and there is no reason to rebel against them, plus you don't look at Count Fernans's carriage so luxurious, but in fact he is an out-and-out good lord, and there are many policies to benefit the people, I don't think anyone will think of overthrowing him. Baron Willow was the same nobleman, even my father. At the end, Ferdelia closed her mouth as if she remembered a sad past.

Natsuhime couldn't say anything to comfort her, and Natsuhime, who wasn't good at comforting people, silently untied the reins from the horse and prepared to enter the city.

But their movements were interrupted by the golden carriage bearing the coat of arms of the Count of Fernans.

"Front, stop, turn your head. ”

"Huh?" Natsuki and Phidelia looked at each other.

There won't be such a cliché episode, right? The kind of aristocratic scene where the nobles take a fancy to the folk girl and want to forcibly marry a concubine is going to be staged again?

No, I can't let Phidelia be favored, Xia Ji, who was driven by this thought, stopped Phidelia, who was about to turn around, and turned around to the nobleman who wanted to stop him.

Squeezing out a smile, Natsuhime said, "Who are you calling?"

The person who stopped him did not reply to Natsuhime's question directly, but continued to ask Natsuhime.

"You're really good-looking, girl, where are you from?"

Xia Ji still miscalculated, if she had just quickly taken Phidelia into the city in a carriage, maybe this would not have happened, but if you want to blame her, she didn't have even the slightest consciousness of her beauty, when she realized that it was the nobleman's behavior of wanting to marry a concubine, she was the first to react to protect Phidelia, not herself who was also a beauty, but in fact, the nobleman took a fancy to her with silver-white hair, and wanted to confirm her appearance with beautiful silver hair, so he would send someone to stop her.

Natsuhime, who didn't realize the problem until this time, finally came to her senses from the fact that she was actually being favored and not Fidelia was being taken seriously.

"Who are you. Without answering, or with any honorifics, Natsuhime questioned the person who asked him.

"It's rude, my name is Cisse, and he is the steward of the Count of Fernans's house. He is currently serving as Young Master Tian's teacher, and the purpose of coming to Avaklin today is to train Young Master. While identifying himself and his purpose, Cisse looked at the golden carriage and signaled to the girl in front of him the identity of the owner of the carriage. "But at the same time, this trip, we also have a purpose, that is, to find a wife for the young master, because the young master's previous fiancée selection family had an accident, so he gave up the marriage, and now the master wants the young master to choose his own wife, and the wife's candidate, congratulations, you now have the opportunity to become a candidate." ”

Despite the smile, Natsuhime could tell from the butler's words that there was no room for her to refuse.

But even so, "Please allow me to refuse." Natsuki said the same thing, and got into the carriage without looking back.

"As I said, there is no room for refusal. The butler's hand reached for the reins of the carriage at a speed that ordinary people could not keep up with, trying to let the girl stay.

However, his hand did not touch the reins, and before he could touch the reins, his hand was pushed away by a force that he could not see.

This made Cisse feel very surprised, Cisse was one of the best martial arts players in the empire before serving as the butler of the Fenance family, and he also won the top three places in the martial arts tournament where the use of magic was prohibited, and after retiring, he was hired by the Count of Fenance as the bodyguard and butler of the Fenance family, but even so, his skills did not degrade with his age, on the contrary, he became more and more sophisticated, but with that skill, he was stopped by an inexplicable force as soon as he made a move. What's going on here?

His eyes looked at the girl who was most likely to react, but he saw that she continued to prepare to start as if nothing had happened, and at the same time the blonde girl was already sitting in the carriage and was about to start.

With that in mind, Cisse struck again, this time faster than the last, and it seemed that he was vowing to take the reins and not let the girls leave.

The strong attack even brought the wind, and the people around them all had confused expressions because of the inexplicable wind.

This time he must take the reins from the silver-haired girl's hands, and Cisse's pride will not allow him to fail again.

However, just as his hand was about to touch the reins, he suddenly stretched out in the other direction, and the unbalanced Cisse almost fell from it, and he staggered several steps before stopping, and the people around him laughed at his clown-like movements.

What the hell is going on? Cisse didn't understand what was happening, only that he had inexplicably failed in both attacks, and that the latter one had almost made himself look foreign.

Cisse glared at the girl who was most likely to cause this, but the girl did not continue to urge the horses as she had done before, and still looked calm.

Now Cisse was annoyed, not only let his attack fail, but also ignore himself like a nobody, you know, the most hated thing in Cisai's life is to be ignored, which is why he went to participate in the martial arts conference, he just wanted to let the opponent who had no one in his eyes fall behind, in fact, he did it, although he lost to an unknown young swordsman in the semi-finals, but he did not have any resentment against him, because that swordsman was the only opponent who treated him as an opponent, and he had no regrets when he was defeated by such a person。

And now, I have encountered a situation where I have been ignored, and it is natural to feel angry.

"I, in, with, thee, talk, talk, what!" Cisse, who had accentuated his tone with every word, attacked again, this time no longer retaining any strength, but directly hitting the girl with all his might.

Just as he was about to hit the girl, he heard the girl's whisper, "Why does it have to be like this? Why do you refuse to stop after the first failure?"

Hearing those words, Cisse realized that it was the girl herself who blocked her attack, and as a martial arts master, she couldn't catch any of the girl's movements, and simply thought it was a coincidence. That's what the so-called IQ drop says.

Cisse, who quickly approached the girl, finally caught the girl's movements, but it was only her body that swayed slightly, and she couldn't see any other movements, and Cisse, who didn't have time to regret it, had no time to stop his attack, and his attack with all his strength, when he was about to touch the girl's body, deflected again, and he couldn't hold back his strength and flew up.

With a look of consternation, Cisse flipped over the girl's head and fell heavily to the ground. But in the eyes of passers-by who failed to capture the movements of Cisse and the girl, the scene was as if Cisse suddenly jumped up like a clown, and then fell to the ground in an extremely exaggerated motion, which inevitably caused passers-by to laugh.

"Wow, Uncle Cisse, are you alright? In the midst of that was particularly harsh was the comfort from the maiden.

"Hmph!" Cisse quickly recovered from his fallen position, shook off the dust on his body, and returned to the carriage without looking back, no longer stopping Natsuhime.

Natsuki and Phidelia finally enter Avaklin.
