readx; Early the next morning, Anna woke up Carlo, who had only taken a nap in the middle of the night, and after eating in a daze, the Marquis Daniel appeared, and personally sent Ashini and the others on the ship to the royal capital. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The ship was not very large, and it was not ornate in appearance, it was a fast-sailing cargo ship under the name of Marquis Daniel, and in order to get Ashini to the royal capital as soon as possible, the ship was not full of cargo. When Carlo came to the room built on the ship, he realized that the ship was actually camouflaged, and the room in a real cargo ship would never be so comfortable.

After the ship had left the river port of the city of Arimman, Carlo opened the suitcase that Orff had sent to his room in the morning, which still contained some new clothes, and much more than last night, and he changed into one of them, which was more form-fitting than the others, and was specially designed for the activities on board.

When he came to the deck in this uncomfortable outfit, there were only two people on the deck, Ashini and Lucien. So he slowly approached the two and said hello, only to find that their clothes were tighter than his, and their uneven figures were undoubtedly revealed in front of Carlo's eyes, which reminded Carlo of the two of them wearing pajamas yesterday.

"Are you used to being on the boat, do you feel dizzy?" Atheni interrupted Carlo's thoughts with a deliberate smile.

"Ah~ I'm fine, nothing uncomfortable. Carlo looked up and smiled awkwardly, but at a glance he saw the whip mark under Lu Nian's neck, I am afraid that this was the last night Ashini's beating, but this time it seems that Ashini did not use the medicine to smooth out her wound as she did last time.

"That's good, after all, we're going to be on the ship for seven days, and if you get seasick, you're in trouble. Ahini said as she looked in the direction of the royal capital.

"By the way, Miss Athenie, is there one thing I can ask you for?"

"What's the matter, you say. Ashini nodded.

"I want to learn words, is that okay?"

"Why, are you illiterate?" Argini asked, surprised, when Carlo fainted after inexplicably falling into the place where they were bathing, Argini naturally checked Carlo's luggage, including the letter, and she even knew Carlo's real name. It's just that when Carlo called himself by the name Renault, she found it funny, and she didn't debunk him.

"Yes, after claiming that I had amnesia, I found that I had lost the ability to read, but I guess I should have been literate. ”

"Really?" said Atheni, circling around Carlo, "this is strange, I am not ignorant of amnesia, but this is the first time I have heard of an example of the loss of the ability to read and write after amnesia. ”

However, instead of refusing Carlo's request, Ashini did not even intend to wait until she reached the royal capital to find a teacher for Carlo, but began to teach him herself during the seven-day voyage. At the same time, her interest in Carlo has grown.

A day earlier, when Marquis Daniel had told Arsini of his suspicion that Carlo was from the Western Continent, Arsini was surprised that she did not agree with the Marquis's judgment because of the letter written in the Eastern Continent script by Sax and the Phil catalogue left by Rieser. Marquis Daniel was in charge of most of the trade in the western part of the empire, including the few merchant ships that could sail from the western continent, and when she was a child, Ashini had seen the western continent's writing in Marquis Daniel's study, but she did not say anything about it.

And now, Carlo actually said that he was illiterate, which made Argini doubt his own judgment, if not that he guessed wrong, then Carlo is not so simple as amnesia.

Ashini's words took effect in the afternoon, and just after lunch, she showed up in Carlo's room with Lucien, and carefully taught Carlo to read and write from the basics.

Perhaps because of the common language, by the fifth day, Carlo had learned the basics of characters and grammar.

"Well, you're learning much faster than I thought, and I can't imagine that you've memorized more than 3,000 basic characters almost at once, so it seems that you have a great talent for languages. Ahini complimented.

"yes, maybe it's just amnesia, that's why I remember it so quickly. Carlo raised his right hand and scratched his head.

"Perhaps, well, it's time to teach you how to combine and use them, and once you learn that, you can learn to read. Ashini picked up a book on the table and prepared to teach Carlo to read.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Miss Athenie, I'm Captain Howles, and I'm sorry to disturb you, but several express trains suddenly appeared behind us, and they didn't seem friendly. Therefore, I had to ask the lady to come out and discuss. ”

Hearing this, Ashini closed the book and said, "Got it, Captain Howles, please wait for us on deck, and we'll come out." ”

"Okay, miss, I'll take my leave. ”

Hearing the footsteps of Captain Howles leaving, the faces of Arcini and Lucian suddenly became gloomy, and Carlo asked heartily, "Miss Arsinia, has something happened?"

"I'm afraid so. Ahini nodded directly and said, "I'm afraid those clippers are all killers, and they are coming for me." You should know, I am the first heir to the Marquis of Daniel, and his title and power are far greater than a marquis, so many people are peeking at me, especially after I got the inheritance contract written by my uncle.

And these killers probably set off shortly after we left the city of Aliman. The speed of the boat is actually slower than that of riding a mount, but we go down the river without stopping even at night, so it is faster and easier than the land route. But if these killers travel along the river during the day and continue their journey at night in the arranged boats, then it should be time to catch up with us. ”

"And what are we going to do?" said Carlo, remembering Lou Ann's reminder again, perhaps that was the kind of thing she had in her words at the time.

"What do you say, sister?" said Ashini, turning to look directly at Lu Yuan.

"You decide, but they want to kill you unless you step over my corpse. Lu Ann said in a firm tone.

This was a bit of a surprise to Carlo, but didn't Loudien hate Atheney's mistreatment of her, or was she lying?

"Well, now we only have two options, and if Captain Howles doesn't agree to us staying here, we'll have to disembark at the next dock. Or maybe you and I got rid of those annoying flies. ”

"Can't we get rid of them?" Carlo suggested.

Atheini turned her head in surprise, glanced at Carlo and said, "I'm afraid that if there is no possibility, Captain Mansions will not agree, it seems that you don't know the tricks between nobles." Reynolds, you have to remember that the struggle between the nobles must not involve innocent ordinary people, otherwise, if discovered, they will be judged by the Church.

Since Captain Howles had come to inform us, it meant that he had been warned that if he would not let us off the ship, it meant that he was willing to help us.

Since this is an assassination, and the assassins should all be mercenaries, and their strength should not be strong, Lu Li'an and I should be able to handle it, so you should stay in the room. ”

With that, Arsini got up and left the room with Lucien.

It wasn't long before Carlo felt what seemed to stop and the sound of a fight could be heard outside the cabin. After taking two steps back and forth in the cabin, Carlo finally failed to resist the torture of anxiety and left the room and went to the deck.

When he opened the door, a chill blew and made him shiver, and although the sun was scorching, the temperature outside the cabin was several degrees higher than that inside. And when he walked to the bridge, he was immediately startled by the scene in front of him. Captain Hals's ship had dropped anchor, and Ashini was standing on the water not far from the boat, confronting the three small boats. Yes, standing on the water, to be precise, on the frozen water, and this ice path was extended from the ship they were on, and Carlo could even believe that Atheney and Lucien had gracefully passed from the ship.

At this time, Ashini also noticed Carlo's appearance, glared back at him, and continued: "Lutian, hurry up and deal with them, our guests can't wait." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Carlo saw Lou Dian standing in the middle of the boat, fighting with a group of mercenaries in different clothes, suddenly screaming, and a visible red light flashed around her, and then the boat caught fire. The sword she swung out easily cut the mercenary's weapons into molten iron, ** as fragile as ice, easily cut by her, and anyone who was injured by her, the wound immediately turned black, even Carlo standing in the distance could smell the smell of meat, and the screams continued to sound.

And the mercenary who was standing on the edge of the boat, far away from Lu Yuan'an, saw her might, so he didn't say a word, jumped into the river, and prepared to flee for his life. However, Ashini was not ready to let them go, and when she opened her hands, a cold air condensed in the air, and those who fell into the water were frozen on the water, unable to move.

At this time, some people began to beg for mercy, and some people scolded their employers for untruthful information, saying that they had been asked to assassinate a girl who had barely graduated from the Knight Academy, and who would have thought that they would meet two demon warriors.

"I don't blame your employers, because they don't know that, but since you've taken the job, there's no reason for me to bypass you so easily. Ashini said with a look of contempt.

At this moment, Carlo, who was not far away, suddenly had a bad premonition and said loudly: "Athenie, be careful of the man in black on your right." ”

At the moment when Carlo shouted, the man in black, who had fallen into the ice and said nothing, suddenly shot at Atheni like a sharp arrow.

"Poof", blood splattered, but it was not Ahini's blood, but the assassin was pierced through the heart by the ice spike behind him, and died a meter in front of Ahini. At this moment, which has been silent, how could Ashini be defenseless. However, she didn't think it was that simple, so she was stalling for time to find out the key to the assassination, but Carlo's reminder made the assassin impatient and attacked.

"Brush" Just when Ashini was dealing with the attack of the black-clothed assassin, the mercenary who had been shouting on her left suddenly threw an iron ball at her, which exploded not far from Ashini, and dozens of steel needles were shot out of the iron ball, and its speed was so fast that even Ashini, who had been on guard, was taken aback, and suddenly there was a river of blood on the ice, and Ashini covered her left shoulder and retreated: "Lu Yuanan, let's go." ”

In an instant, with Lu Yi'an as the center, a hot flame erupted, and I don't know how many mercenaries can survive. Lou Dian carried Arsini back to the ship with the unconscious and ordered Captain Howles to sail. The cargo ship left again.
