Chapter 289: Morning in Zekuta

Seeing that he was looking at him with a stupid smile, Anesa was suddenly a little embarrassed and stunned, as if asking if there was any stain on her face.

Bell smiled even brighter, "I've never seen you so happy." ”

He took a deep breath, the smile was still on the corner of his mouth, and he shook his body back and forth and said happily, "Because when I was by your side, I have never been so relaxed as I am now." ”

"It's because of the Wolf King...... There's also a half-demon bloodline. Hey, if you had said it earlier, you wouldn't have felt guilty all the time. To be honest, I like you the way you are now, so you look like a young girl. ”

"I didn't know how to tell you...... Hehe, I also feel good right now. For so long, every day I tried to change how to say to you, but I couldn't think of a way. You know, I'm stupid......" An'esa smiled sweetly.

The morning in Zekuta was surprisingly quiet, with no vendors or crowds, farmers going to work in the fields early, and shepherd women leading long-haired dogs along the roadside.

The grass spirit bird rests leisurely on the eaves, and its unique call is as melodious as a silver bell. Puff, mules and carts were piled with unthreshed rice.

Dangdangdang...... The bronze bell of the school rang, and groups of children poured into the compound not far away. Vendors pushing wheelbarrows passed them, and some fruit and crepes were bought by red-faced women and stuffed into the children's hands.

The two of them walked down the street after breakfast, and the gentleman-like man would nod and smile at them cordially halfway through.

Unlike the fast-paced city of Hitla, the people here always have a warm smile on their faces. Pass by the tavern I saw last night. In the open air, there were a few tea drinkers sitting sporadically around the stone table.

Fresh fruit is served on a plate. The dew was still rolling on it. Someone brought bread that had just been baked in the morning. The yellowish butter is evenly spread over it.

Loose bread crumbs are collected by diners and waved into the open space next to them, and pale green grass birds fly down from the eaves, enjoying the delicious food that people have bestowed them.

A few rabbits probed their heads out of the fence, and the timid grass spirit bird fluttered its wings and flew again, slashing against Bell's shoulder, making a circle in the air and falling back to the eaves of the tavern.

The tavern is located close to the entrance to the inner city, after a short empty gentle slope. The two stood under the massive arches of the inner city. The moss-covered walls are a reminder of Kuzeta's long history, and the long-decaying giant doorway has been replaced by a huge and strangely shaped oil lamp.

The soldiers guarding the entrance gathered around and chatted about something, and when someone passed by, they just looked up. Even if the two of them were wearing armor and swords, the soldiers only looked at them a few more times and didn't pay any more attention.

Walking along the road from yesterday, a patrol soldier came from the side, and after performing basic etiquette to the two, he asked respectfully, "Are you Bell and Ann Sha?"

The two looked at him in surprise. Nodding slightly, "Exactly, have we ever met?"

The soldier smiled and said, "Oh. That's not it. It's just that your identity information has been registered, so I'm just here to check it. ”

"Oh, I see. Bell nodded thoughtfully.

"Sorry to disturb you. The soldier bowed, and then returned to his ranks.

After being interrogated by the patrol soldiers, no one came to question the two of them again, and no one even paid attention to them.

At most, some people will be attracted to An'esha's beauty, and that will only be a little more eye-catching. There was no defensiveness in his eyes.

This made Bell feel a little strange...... It stands to reason that if a soldier doesn't know himself and An'esha, he will definitely be identified by someone else. But why was it only that small group of soldiers who came? Could there be something wrong with this......

The experience of these days has taught him the importance of caution. Such an abnormal situation is really a bit difficult to reassure.

Whispered to Ann Elsa to pay attention to her surroundings, to make an effective response as soon as possible. Although no one knows their background, after all, this is also within the Orsay Empire, and if there is really any event, it is not unexpected.

It was because both Lolvey and Fairwood knew about their situation that he was so worried. Even if you don't believe in your heart that they will betray you, ...... Some things have to be guarded against.

They walked around to the vicinity of Nepps's house, with no one to follow them along the way, and there were no clues to set up an ambush. Maybe I'm thinking too much, Bell muttered to himself.

After a walk around the gate of Nepps Manor, he told the guard at the gate to come back tomorrow and have something to do today. I hope that the businessman will recuperate well, and I wish Mrs. and Miss good health.

Turning back from the manor, the two made their way to the heart of the inner city. Imperial Lieutenant General Pollock was the father of the knight Fairwood, and a large estate in the central area of the inner city of Kuzeta belonged to the Pollock family.

On the low half-stone wall covered with vines, the iron fence more than a person high was covered in green, and the starry red roses became its best decoration.

Through the cracks in the fence, you can see a large pond next to the magnificent building, and the grass is neatly manicured under the shade of the red beech trees.

Walking along the stone road, the gate of the manor is not far away. Four tall soldiers in heavy armor lined up on either side, the morning light shining on their armor, reflecting a dazzling light.

The sharp-eyed Bell soon noticed that the four heavily armored samurai were all carrying great swords behind them. I didn't expect that the guards outside the door alone were the great sword warriors......

Walking forward slowly, before they could get close to the main entrance, a samurai walked in the direction of the two. Because he was wearing armor, it was inconvenient to salute, but his right hand was lightly placed on his left shoulder, and he nodded and said hello, "Hello, this is Pollock Manor, I don't know what the two of you have to do here." ”

Seeing that the other party was so polite, Bell bowed and saluted, knowing the rules of the army, he would definitely not be ashamed of his family at such a time. Although his family is not a well-known family, at least his grandfather was also an excellent great sword warrior.

Facing the samurai, who was also armed with a great sword, Bell felt both awe and bitterness in his heart...... (To be continued.) )
