Chapter 11: The Return
Outside the city of Bordall, on the edge of the Thorntooth Mountains, midnight. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Rox parked the carriage on the side of the road and waited for the other party to arrive.
It didn't take long for the first knight to appear silently at the end of the dark mountain road, followed by the second and third...... Shrouded in black robes, they resemble ghosts, barely making a sound as they walk.
Ten knights soon came to the carriage, and one of them turned over and dismounted, bowed slightly, and barely saluted Rox.
Rox ...... Speaker?"
"It's me. Rox replied in a muffled voice, he could sense the arrogance of the other party, but he couldn't help it.
The other party is a member of the Moon Blade Knights, and the Moon Blade Knights are the descendants of the current family head Andrea, although his rank is higher than the other party, but the speaker of the council of a border city is really not enough in front of the powerful forces of the Moon Blade Knights.
So, Rox decided to get straight to the point, he pointed to the carriage and said: "Everything is here, clothing, weapons, blood essence, clothing and weapons are all the stuff of a mercenary group called 'Condor', it is quite famous in our country, as long as we can afford it, we are willing to do anything, use their identities as a disguise, and will not show any flaws." ”
The black-robed knight nodded slightly and asked, "What about that?"
Rox knew what the other party was referring to, and said, "Of course that big guy can't bring it, it's in the city, and it's ready." Are you sure you want to use that? Wouldn't it be too exaggerated? If the movement makes it too big......"
"We have our own judgment on what to do, and we don't need adults to bother. The black-robed knight stiffly interrupted Rox.
"Hmph. Rox snorted coldly, but he didn't dare to continue to say anything, just said, "I only care about the promise made to me by the head of the family." ”
"Will deliver, after Rogie is dead. The black-robed knight said in a flat tone.
Rox nodded slightly, left the carriage in place, and stepped back in front of the other party, until he was a hundred steps away, and then turned and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
It's finally time to do it, Rox thought. He knew something about it, and Andrea didn't take any action until Rogie fled into the territory of the Morning Star Empire. But now, for some reason, Rogie is coming to Berdel, and Andrea seems to be finally unable to resist and want to do something to her own sister.
But none of this has anything to do with him, even if Rogie dies, it has nothing to do with him, the people of Birdell City may have nostalgia for Rogie, but he is not from Birdel City in the first place. He had already done what Andrea wanted him to do, and now he only hoped that the other party would make good on his promise to let him go north and enter the real core of power.
......
Early in the morning, Mo Li threw iron pieces into his mouth while sitting in the carriage, waiting for Luo Ji to get on the carriage and set off.
He was not in a very good state, and the experiment that lasted until the middle of last night made him exhausted, and even the procedures in his body were broken several times.
But the results are also obvious, the improvement effect of rune copper has increased from half percent to one and a half, and the burning is no longer as hot and unbearable as before.
However, according to Orange Rain, in order to fully exert the theoretical lifting effect, it is necessary to transform the technique in the body, but neither Moli nor Orange Rain has a clue about this.
It can't be said that there is no clue - Orange Rain can at least write spell talismans, and one of the magic carving stones left by the spell master to the girl is about this aspect, and now this magic carving stone is being placed in Mo Li's body, and Orange Rain says that he has completely learned it and does not need it.
As for the piece that Luo Ji gave, Orange Rain didn't ask for it, the girl just asked Mo Li to show her the harvest after returning from the Far East.
The door opened, and the two girls walked out with a good relationship - no, it should be the orange rain sticking to Rogie's body and walking out.
Ever since Luo Ji woke up last night, Orange Rain has completely abandoned Mo Li and hasn't even done experiments. Suddenly Mo Li had a feeling: I was a friend to you, but you got involved with me......
Belch...... It seems that Rogie is not one of his kind either.
But for Orange Rain, Rogie is a pure and cute existence, she doesn't seem to care about the other party or the princess of the blood clan at all, she just wants to rub her face against the other party.
Mo Li looked at Luo Ji with a look of distress, and could only smile helplessly.
In the orange rain reluctantly said goodbye, the carriage set off and headed for the border city not far away.
"How does it feel?" asked Moli.
"It's much better, although it's only five percent lifted, but after all, there is a difference between there and nothing. Rogie said with a smile, her complexion looking good.
"And five percent, that's probably enough. The girl added faintly.
Mo Xuan jumped and couldn't help asking, "Let's go in with a swagger like this, what if someone does it?"
"That's just a matter of hands. ”
"What if someone wants to kill us?"
The girl looked at Mo Li, and the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked: "As the eldest daughter of the Vimilia family, I authorize you to kill my people if necessary. How?"
Mo Li smiled and nodded.
Through the contact in the past few days, he has also learned more and more about Rogie. Girls often make the choice to back down, such as when several major divisions join forces to impeach her, and small things such as how orange rain pesters her and she will not get angry, but these concessions are due to her restraint and kindness, not due to weakness or ignorance.
For example, when the family impeached her, she actually clearly thought about dividing and suppressing them through force and conspiracy.
Moli likes people like that. And even if you don't consider personal preferences, working with such a person can make it easy to grasp a lot of things.
He suddenly remembered a question he had wanted to ask for a long time, and estimated that it would take some time to reach Berdel, so he took this opportunity to ask: "I used alchemy to devour a short knife before, which is the one you saw when I was fighting the knights of the empire, and when the weapon dealer sold it to me, he said that it was a weapon you used, this ...... Shouldn't it be true?"
Luo Ji was stunned for a moment, and suddenly showed an expression that couldn't help but want to laugh, and after a few seconds, she said, "It's true, that weapon is probably the one I used." ”
"Huh?!"
Seeing Mo Li's mouth open wide, the girl smiled and explained, "The Vimilia family has a special agency responsible for the procurement of daily necessities for our people, including weapons. Weapons will naturally wear out in use, so basically a new batch will be purchased every few years, and as for the old weapons that are replaced, they will be handled by the people of the procurement agency. ”
"Actually, I've heard a long time ago that procurement agencies and arms dealers have hooked up and sold the weapons I have used for personal gain, but as long as they don't go too far, I let them make some extra money. When I saw your weapon that day, it seemed familiar, and now it seems that the dagger is the same weapon I used for a while. ”
After listening to Luo Ji's explanation, Mo Li was speechless for a while, and after a long while, he said to Luo Ji, "Do you know what I'm thinking now?"
"What?"
"If only I had bought a few more. ”
“......”
As the two spoke, the walls of Birdel were getting closer and closer, and outside the small city gates, hundreds of merchants were waiting to enter the city.
The border city of Berdell is characterized by trade, and the largest source of tax revenue is customs duties. Here, both the blood and the human race are guaranteed equal rights.
The Bloodlines need cloth and wood from the Morningstar Empire, and the Morningstar Empire needs the ores of the Bloods, and trade is beneficial to both sides, so both the Vimilia family and the Morningstar Empire have taken a tacit attitude towards trade in Berdel City.
"We'll leave the wagon outside the city and walk in?" Moli asked Rogie.
The girl nodded.
Due to the high level of trade, the outside of Berdell had become a distribution center for goods, and merchants could pay a small storage fee and store goods that were not easy to transport into the city in warehouses outside the city.
In fact, the carriage was completely allowed to enter the city, but there was another reason why Moli and Rogie did so.
Mo Li finished storing the carriage, crossed the long line of hundreds of merchants, and walked directly to the city gate.
The two immediately attracted the attention of many people, but most of the merchants did not know Rogie, they were only attracted by the girl's beauty.
The two of them paid no attention to the gaze around them and continued to move forward. This is, there are already some well-informed old merchants who have remembered something, but they can't believe it for a while, so they can only confirm it in a low voice to the people around them.
A somewhat eerie atmosphere quickly spread, and the originally noisy team suddenly became only the hum of whispering.
Luo Ji and Mo Li finally arrived at the gate of the city, and at the checkpoint were two ordinary Blood Clan soldiers, who had already sensed the anomaly of the team, but because their vision was obscured, they had not caused the anomaly until now.
Princess...... Princess?!
They were veterans of the Battle of Badel, and naturally they had seen Rogie, but the fact that they were too shocked didn't know how to react.
"Quinton, Deem?" said Rogie with a smile as she glanced at the two of them.
Not to mention the two soldiers in front of him, even Mo Li was taken aback, even the names of these ordinary soldiers, Luo Ji remembered?
One of the soldiers, who was slightly short and stocky, was the first to react, quickly bowed down, and saluted, "Princess...... Lord Rogi!"
Another soldier reacted and bowed.
Rogie nodded, and walked towards the city, where the two soldiers remained motionless in a saluted posture like statues.
The businessmen who had been watching behind him finally understood who the person in front of them was, and the whispers disappeared into silence. Many of the merchants simply left their goods where they were, following Rogie from a distance, because they didn't want to miss what was going to happen in the city.
Ten years later, Rogie is back in the city she saved.
