Volume 2 The Birth of the Demon King Chapter 78 Misunderstanding
A few minutes later, everyone got into the carriage to Baifeng Town.
Surprisingly, the owner of the carriage was a very ordinary businessman.
At first, he wanted to pass directly, after all, he saw a lot of vagabonds, and he didn't have time to deal with them, but just as he was about to gallop past, he suddenly found that the carriage couldn't move.
Because the merchant's action made Anne mistake it for a monster again, she immediately caused Fenrir to bite the wheel.
Fortunately, the misunderstanding was quickly resolved, otherwise the merchant would have gotten into Fenrir's belly.
Anne took out ten gold coins and asked him to help, although in the eyes of the people in the city, this amount of money is not much, but this merchant is in a business with small profits and quick turnover, so he naturally will not let go of such a small profit, so he readily agreed.
So, after more than two hours of travel, they finally arrived in Baifeng Town.
When the city gate was still far away, the emir was struck by the size of the town, which he saw was at least five times the size of the town of Blackpool, and the walls were even higher than those of the city, about fifty or sixty meters.
The moment the emir saw this town, he understood why it was called White Peak Town, because it was built around a tall white peak, the highest point was estimated to be six hundred meters, and on the top of the mountain there was a very large castle, next to the cliff, dozens of minarets pointed to the sky, like pillars supporting the heavenly dome.
The town is roughly circular in shape, divided into three floors from the inside to the outside, the outermost part is the civilian area, most of them are one- or two-story buildings, all neatly arranged, the walls are made of earth-gray bricks, and the roofs are of various colors, but they are all plain.
On the inner floor is where the nobles lived, separated from the civilian area by a wall more than 20 meters high, and the area is only half of the common area, and here are some quite luxurious houses, not only more than three floors, but also brightly colored and luxurious, these houses are built around the white peaks.
There is also a wall in the innermost part, but it is completely different from the two outer walls, because it is made of pure black bricks, which contrasts sharply with the white peaks, and is more than fifty meters high like the outermost wall, separating the noble district from the mountainous area.
The black wall gives a rather oppressive feel, and no houses are built in it, only the castle on the top of the hill.
Anyone can see that the owner of that hilltop castle is Leonard, one of the candidates for the throne.
At this time, Emile looked at the castle on the top of the hill and was so surprised that he could not have dreamed of a spectacle.
"Could it be that I'm going to go to the top of the mountain and meet Leonard?" He asked casually.
"Of course," Anne nodded, then reminded him, "Leonard is talented, but he is very suspicious, and we will be heavily checked later to make sure we don't have lethal weapons on us, so you better take it easy, or you may be suspected." ”
"Uh......"
After Anne's reminder, Emile became even more nervous.
However, Anne also considered that he was originally from a mountain village, so naturally he had never seen such a large town, let alone dealt with the noble royal family, so it was natural to be nervous.
So she comforted her, "It's okay, I'll cover you no matter what, even if Leonard wants to kill you, I'll take you away with teleportation magic, don't worry, no one can stop me." ”
"Haha, thank you so much." The emir smiled sheepishly.
Although he was glad that Anne had done this for him, he still had a sense of inferiority because he already owed Anne too much favor.
After a while, the merchants left them at the gates of the city.
Because the guards in Baifeng Town are very tight, except for the nobles who have passes, they can enter and exit freely, and everyone else has to be interrogated.
Emile and Anne passed at once, but it was Nova who had a problem, and although he looked harmless, the guards noticeably noticed Louise beside him.
The guard then whispered something to the other companion, who nodded and ran away.
When the emir saw this detail, he was stunned, and if his hunch was correct, it was likely that he would be in trouble again.
After passing through the tall city gate, you will be greeted by a huge circular square with a diameter of about 200 meters.
There are four avenues that run in four directions, with the central avenue facing the city gate being the widest, twice as long as the other roads, and running through the town.
Perhaps for aesthetic reasons, although this area is a commoner area, the two rows of houses near the central avenue are not inferior to the aristocratic district in terms of luxury, and should have been inhabited by some wealthy merchants.
Standing in the middle of the square, looking at the crossroads in front of him, the Emir felt a little dazed, and his gaze unconsciously moved upward, and finally he stayed at the castle on the white peak.
He had both awe and yearning for that place.
However, Anne's voice immediately pulled his thoughts back.
"Something seems wrong, Emir."
He quickly looked around and saw that a large number of men in armor were approaching them, with sharp spears in their hands.
"This, what's going on?" The emir was brought down by this battle.
He looked behind him again, and saw that there was no one, and the merchants who had entered the city with him just now were long gone, and as far as the eye could see, there were soldiers all around.
The first reaction of the emir was that Leonard had sent someone to arrest him, and his heart suddenly cooled.
He still ran over excitedly, but he never thought that his gloomy future was doomed.
They were soon surrounded, but no one made a move, and the soldiers stood there as if they were waiting for someone.
After a few more moments, the crowd dispersed, and a tall figure stepped forward.
The emir looked intently and saw that the man was dressed in knight's armor, most notably a glittering golden sword hanging from his waist, the hollowed-out scabbard inlaid with diamonds and jewels.
Because he was not wearing a helmet, the Emir was able to see his appearance, which was a man of about forty years of age, with short curly yellow hair and a thick beard on his chin.
If he didn't wear this armor, no one would believe that he was a knight, and that he looked like some mercenary businessman or nouveau riche.
The man walked up to Emile and the others, first looked at them, and then pulled Louise away, strangely enough, Louise did not resist.
"Eh, wait a minute."
The emile hurriedly stopped the man, and at the same time he wondered that Louise had been snatched away, and Anne, who was the strongest of them all, did not react at all.
When he looked back, he realized that Anne was actually holding her hands on her chest, looking calm and relaxed, and she didn't care about herself.
"Great, little Louise, you're finally back, and Uncle Samuel is going to get all these bad guys now."
“…… What? ”
Emile and Nova were dumbfounded, they both suspected that something was wrong with their ears, and dared to think that they were kidnappers.
But after thinking about it, the group of kidnappers must have sent threatening letters to Louise's house, and as for who the kidnappers were and what they looked like, these soldiers did not know.
All they knew was that the next person to appear next to Louise must be the kidnapper.
At this point, the Emile couldn't make sense, and they had to pin their hopes on Louise, and now only she could solve the misunderstanding.
However, Louise did keep saying that the Emir was not a bad person, but the knight named Samuel didn't listen at all, he only thought that Louise was bewitched.
"Have you informed the deputy head of the regiment?" Samuel asked the soldier next to him.
After receiving an affirmative answer, he left without looking back, taking Louise with him.
Next, only the three of them were left to face the group of soldiers.
"Annie, think of a way."
"Hehe, take it easy, their deputy head will come to apologize to us." Anne smiled.
The emir stared at her face for a moment, then it dawned on her.
"Oh, so you know their deputy head of the regiment."
"Of course not," Anne immediately denied, "You must know that knights are people of noble character, this is their only advantage, the more they are in a high position, the more they pay attention to chivalry, so this man named Samuel must be just an ordinary knight, and he just mentioned that he told the deputy head of the regiment about this, then the other party is likely to be Louise's sister, after all, the kidnapped sister has returned, and the person who cares most about this matter can only be her dearest, and she will definitely listen to Louise's explanation." ”
“…… I see. The emir was impressed by this reasoning.
"So what do we do now? Is it easy to get caught? Nova on the side said nervously.
He didn't expect to finally return to Baifeng Town, and he hadn't found those people to take revenge, but he had become a kidnapper, he couldn't help but fall into self-doubt, did he really have no chance to take revenge?
"Hmph, this decision is good, and when the time comes, we can completely knock the deputy head of the regiment hard." Anne smiled as she had triumphed.
"Uh......" Emile and Nova were speechless when they saw her expression.
So, naturally, the three of them were caught.
Although it would not be difficult for Anne to escape, as she said, it would make the deputy head owe them a favor, so why not?
The Emile also agreed with Anne's decision, and after learning that he was considered a kidnapper, he was a little happy, because it meant that Leonard did not have the idea of asking for guilt, he still had a chance to be appreciated, and then sat back and waited for the misunderstanding to be solved.
After all, if he resists at this time, it will make things bigger, and his future will really be ruined.
As for Nova, he is a helpless man, and he will have to rely on Emile and Anne to help him get revenge, so he seems to have no other way but to follow the decision of the two.
