Chapter 58: What Are They Waiting For?

It was not Lanita who Solomon had sent to deliver the message, but the maiden volunteered to take the errand and ride the White Queen with Iwan to the West.

She wanted to see what the legendary dragon-slaying hero, the number one powerhouse on the continent of Brattis, looked like.

And the reason why they were late this morning was not because they deliberately hung the nobles in Rock Snow City, but because Lanita ran to the green field first for a spin.

Unlike her arrogant brother Sharjah, Lanita, though sometimes reckless, is only a disguise for her.

The girl firmly believes that people only reveal their true thoughts when they are provoked, but unfortunately this trick does not seem to have any effect on Solomon.

In addition, Lanenita's outrageous actions can also play a role in paralyzing opponents and even those around her.

Many people thought that Zebulun's adopted daughter was a reckless madman, but Lanita was actually a very cautious person.

For example, on her trip to the green fields, she didn't let the dragon land during the whole trip, but circled a few times in the sky, carefully looking at the newly built town at her feet.

Unlike other towns she'd seen on the continent before, Lanita noticed that the buildings here were almost entirely made of bricks, which made them look exceptionally neat.

The streets are also incredibly clean, with no animal droppings in sight, and Lanita has found several pools of water in the city.

At first, she thought that the water was for people to drink, but after looking at it for a while, she realized that it was actually a large bathtub, and many people were bathing together in it, and it looked very pleasant.

And those large pools often have tall stone pillars with white smoke floating out.

Lanita rushed from the royal capital to the west in one go, and she didn't change her clothes all the way, and she felt a little stinky on her body, and she wanted to jump down and swim in it twice.

In addition to these large baths, Lanita also saw several tall towers in the city, with huge wheels on them, which kept spinning endlessly, and I don't know if they were weapons.

Lanita cautiously walked around the towers and saw a textile mill, but she could not see what was inside, only the many women workers walking towards the building, talking and laughing.

Next to the textile mill is a paper mill, where people are breaking rags and mixing them with tree bark to turn them into a white slurry in which someone is fishing......

Lanita wanted to look any further, but suddenly there was a rush of bells in her ears, and the girl knew that she had been discovered by the guards of the city.

She didn't stop, patted the dragon beneath her, causing it to spread its wings, and then rose a little higher to fly in the direction of the Gegu Everglades.

She knew that the Church of Shuangxiu also had a town there.

According to Iwan, it was very rare for the nobles of the Red Lion Empire to divide a piece of land in their territory for a certain sect.

This also shows the unusual relationship between the female lord named Ilea and the Shuangxiu Sect.

On her way to another town, Lanita also sees a mine filled with all the miners.

They had pickaxes in their hands, and they were there banging and beating, and there weren't many overseers nearby, and there weren't many guards in the mines, but the dwarves were honest, and few were lazy, let alone run away.

Lanita shook her head, and she had seen a lot of strange large furnaces at the edge of the mine, and the blacksmiths seemed to be using them to make iron.

This scene made Lanita's heart a little vigilant.

Because there were a little too many of those furnaces, she probably counted them, there were already thirty or forty, and together they should be able to produce a lot of steel, but I don't know what the quality is.

Lanita thought to herself, and soon came to the territory of the Church of Twin Rest again.

Contrary to her expectations, the warriors here seemed to have guessed her arrival in advance, and were ready in advance, wearing armor and armed with crossbow arrows, waiting on the ground.

The girl also saw a dozen huge ballistae, which were loaded with enough bolts to threaten the dragon, though Lanita could see that the ballistas were not flexible enough to be angled.

But she didn't want to take such a risk, so she decisively turned around and returned to Rock Snow City.

Her first trip to the green field was very short, and the harvest was not huge, but at least it gave Lanita a preliminary idea of her opponent this time.

Just from the things she saw, she could see that Green Field was not easy to fight.

However, Lanita didn't plan to send the White Queen to help the nobles in the West, and it wasn't the Wing Clan who died anyway, so she didn't feel distressed.

If you want to become the new master of the West, how can you do it without paying a price?

After Lanita finished negotiating the conditions with the nobles in Rock Snow City, she said to Iwan, "By the way, how much do you know about the Shuangxiu Sect behind Ireya?" ”

Iwan shook his head, "The Shuangxiu Sect is mainly active in the West, and I don't know much about them, except that their prophet Merlin, like you, is also a foreigner, and suddenly appeared next to Sir Ilea about two years ago.

"After that, whether Ireya slays the dragon or wins the championship of the martial arts competition, she has the help of Shuangxiu Coach."

"Find me a local who is familiar with the Shuangxiu Sect, I have a question for him." Lanita said.

…………

News of the Figuera's decision to take refuge with the Wing Clan spread throughout the West, almost overnight.

And it is said that the female envoy who came to negotiate also killed Brian, the sheriff of Rock Snow City, on the spot.

The reason was only because Brian had cut off the arm of a Wing Clan prisoner a year earlier.

Later, she even released the word that the person who could kill the head of the Arias family, Ilea, and the prophet Merlin of the Shuangxiu Sect, and avenge the death of several Wing Clan warriors before, could become the next master of the West.

I have to say that those Wing Clan people are indeed very generous this time, and the remuneration offered is enough to make any nobleman blush.

However, in the days that followed, there was little movement from the families.

So Lanita called Clovis again, "What are the nobles of the Westlands waiting for?" ”

"They didn't wait for anything." Clovis Road.

"Marquis Kulen was ambushed by those dwarves in Dragonspine Mountain with 10,000 horses, and in the end less than 3,000 people returned, and not long ago, Lord Gwen also suffered a defeat in Multiscale City, and less than 2,000 escaped.

"These two battles have caused heavy losses to the nobles in the West, and the major families do not have many soldiers and horses on hand now, on the contrary, the Alias family has been expanding their army in the past two years, and they are now the most powerful families in the West.

"Even if someone wants to earn your bounty, they have to weigh whether they have the ability, right?" The corners of Clovis's mouth curled into a sneer, "What's more, Sir Ilea has a double break behind him." ”
