After several people met and discussed with the Grand Duke of Purple Moon, it was decided that Grand Duke Ziyue would be responsible for providing all the materials that everyone needed, including gold coins, equipment, food and even a station, which was a county town in the territory of Grand Duke Ziyue far from the border between the empire and the Holy See, called Havaca. The day after agreeing with the Grand Duke of the Purple Moon, Benjamin and his party set off for Havaca County. In addition to Ruoqing, Christine, and Isabella, there were also Xuanyuan Nach and Sophia, who fell into a deep sleep, that is, Alice, the moon god. In addition, Grand Duke Ziyue also sent his own soldiers into a mixed brigade of 1,000 people, including 300 knights, 50 magicians, 100 archers, 50 assassins as scouts, and the rest of the 500 or so were all infantry.

And according to the laws of the empire, Benjamin and others have no right to have such an army, but fortunately, because of His Majesty the Emperor, those high-level people have no time to take care of these, plus Christine also has the title of this princess, even if someone wants to calculate the Grand Duke of Purple Moon, it is not good to make a fuss about this matter, not to mention that this team is called to escort the two princesses Sophia and Christine. As for when the two princesses will end their trip or will no longer need to be escorted, it is unknown. After almost a month of traveling like this, this team is less than halfway to its destination, Havaca.

On this day, the team arrived at Mandic, the second largest city in the territory of the Grand Duke of the Purple Moon in addition to the royal city of Yasore. The city was named after a famous general at the beginning of the empire. And Manditch City is not full of life and business like the royal city of Yasore, but as soon as you enter the city, you can feel a kind of solemn atmosphere in the whole city, which makes people can't help but become a little nervous. Maybe this has always been a military town, most of the people who come and go are either soldiers or professionals, or mercenary groups, few people who look like merchants, and occasionally see a few people who are in a hurry to leave, as if they don't want to stay here longer.

When Benjamin and the others came to the city gate twenty miles, they were ordered by the guards patrolling the city to stop advancing, Christine and the captain of this team showed the relevant documents, and after completing the complicated procedures, they went to the location of the military camp under the guidance of a team of cavalry sent by Manditch City, and after the team was stationed, Benjamin and the others could take a temporary rest.

"Your Highness Princess," said the captain of the cavalry team that led the crowd with a knightly salute, "Your Excellency has invited you and your friends to the Castle Lord's Mansion for a welcome banquet for you. ”

"Well," Christine nodded, and after whispering to the captain, she got into the carriage with the two girls and Benjamin, and headed to the City Lord's Mansion under the guidance of the cavalry captain. And Xuanyuan Nach has not come out of the carriage since he entered the city, and it is only fitting that he should stay and take care of Sophie.

......

After coming out of the city lord's mansion to attend the banquet, Christine refused the city's lord's offer to send a carriage to send everyone, and several people walked in the direction of the barracks as if they were walking.

"Someone is following. Ruoqing looked very intimate, grabbed Benjamin's arm, and whispered in his ear.

"Well, I know. Benjamin made a casual look and said, "Christine, are you familiar with the city lord just now? ”

"Huh?" Christine seemed to pick up on Benjamin's words, "he's been sent here by the Empire to be the lord of the city. "A simple sentence shows that this city lord is not the Grand Duke of Purple Moon's person, although this is the territory of Grand Duke Ziyue, but after all, it still belongs to the empire, His Majesty the Emperor has to place a person here, and Grand Duke Ziyue is not very easy to refuse, anyway, Grand Duke Ziyue doesn't care too much about these things, so he doesn't bother to care.

"That's right. Benjamin nodded, and then asked with some confusion: "Then why did he do this, after all, His Majesty the Emperor is still counting on reinforcements from Grand Duke Ziyue." Hey, it's troublesome, no matter, let's see what he wants to do first. ”

But it didn't take long for a few people to find that the person who was following was gone, and they didn't know if it was no longer tracking or for some other reason, in short, they lost their traces. Anyway, it was not too far from the barracks, and several people didn't take the matter to heart, so they wanted to go to the barracks. Suddenly, an extremely faint energy fluctuation came, which made Benjamin's heart vigilant, and before he could remind the third girl, he saw a black shadow quickly passing behind him and landing in front of several people.

"Master Luke?" several people shouted in shock after seeing the faces of the people in front of them.

"Let's go back first. Before a few people could recover from their surprise, Master Luke whispered.

Hearing this, the few people didn't say anything more, and hurriedly followed Master Luke back to the station of their team. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Xuanyuan Nach sitting quietly there and closed his eyes to recuperate, Master Luke was a little surprised, but immediately waved his hand to set up a ban, and also released the alarm magic outside by the way, once someone tried to approach, the magic alarm would send out magic fluctuations that only Master Luke could sense, and he wanted to break this magic alarm, unless the strength surpassed Master Luke, it was difficult to find one or two in the entire empire, let alone this place. After arranging all this, Master Luke said with some surprise, "Xuanyuan people?"

Xuanyuan Nahe could see that Master Luke could see his origin at a glance, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, but he didn't show it obviously, just nodded a little warily and said, "Yes, my name is Xuanyuan Nahe." ”

"Well, you don't have to worry, Xuanyuan Yin and I are also old acquaintances, my name is Luke. Master Luke looked at Regulus Naha with a smile, as if a kind elder was looking at his junior.

"Huh, you're Grandpa Luke, whom Grandpa used to talk about. After hearing Master Luke's self-introduction, Xuanyuan Nach said with some surprise.

"Hehe, yes," Master Luke nodded, "By the way, what about your grandfather, is that old guy okay?"

"Grandpa......" Mentioning his grandfather, Xuanyuan Nahe's eyes instantly welled up with tears, and his sad expression was immediately presented in front of everyone, "Grandpa, grandma, and all the other clansmen were attacked by the Holy See, and now I don't know if grandpa and grandma are still alive, and the other clansmen are all dead...... When mentioning what the Holy See did to his family, Xuanyuan Nahe's originally sad emotions were suddenly filled with incomparable resentment, and he clenched his fists tightly and said.

"What?" shouted not only Master Luke, but also Benjamin and the others in shock.

...... After a while, everyone seemed to come out of this oppressive atmosphere, and Christine looked at Master Luke and asked, "Master Luke, why are you here?" Not only Christine, but Benjamin and the others were also curious about this question, and they all looked at Master Luke.

"Of course, it's because of a few of you, otherwise what would I do here. ”

"For us?" Christine was a little curious, "Did something happen?"

"The Holy See has issued a papal decree calling you heretics who will bring doom to the mainland, and threatening the affairs of His Majesty the Emperor to hand you over to you. And some of the nobles in the upper echelons of the empire have compromised and are co-opting other nobles, who want to pressure your father to hand you over in exchange for the Holy See lifting the siege of His Majesty the Emperor. And the people who followed you before were not sent by the city lord, but the assassins sent by Prince Norbaker to inquire about your whereabouts. Prince Norbeck was the leader of the aristocracy who wanted to compromise with the Holy See. After Master Luke roughly explained the situation to a few people, he continued: "After I came here to tell you these things, I am going to save His Majesty the Emperor, in case something goes wrong with His Majesty the Emperor, it is estimated that for the sake of a few of you, Ziyue will be opposed to the Prince, and at that time, it may also cause a war within the empire." ”

"So what do we need to do?" asked Christine, after all, her father's safety was at stake, and she couldn't help but be anxious.

"Your plan, Ziyue told me before I came to you, and there will be three people looking for you in Havaca soon, which should be helpful to you. At present, you will not be in much danger, after arriving in Hawaka, you must make yourself strong as soon as possible, and when I finish solving the affairs of His Majesty the Emperor, I will find you in Havaka. ”

"Master Luke, we know. ”

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, when Benjamin and the others were getting ready to go, yesterday's knight captain rushed to the outside of the barracks with a group of people and stopped everyone who were about to leave:

"Her Royal Highness Princess Christine, please wait a moment. ”

"What's the matter, I don't know if I need to hurry as soon as possible?" said Christine, in a condescending tone, with some unpleasantness.

"This is from the lord of the castle. The captain of the knights took out a letter marked by magic marks and respectfully handed it to Christine.

After Christine took the letter, she immediately opened it and looked at it, but the expression on her face gradually changed from the previous unhappiness to a little surprised, and then seemed to be very happy, after reading the letter, Christine's attitude was completely one hundred and eighty degrees different from before, and said:

"Thank you, Lord Castle, for your kindness. ”

After speaking, he smiled slightly at the knight captain, and then beckoned Benjamin and the others to get into the carriage and set off. After leaving the barracks, Christine said:

"The lord of the city has sent us an army of 500 men, and a large number of supplies. ”

"What?" Benjamin and the others were completely stunned when they heard the news, how did this trick change?

"Well, it's because there have always been people from the prince here, so the city lord has to do this, the specific situation, you can see for yourself. Christine took out the previous letter, handed it to everyone, and said.

Benjamin took the letter and read it with the rest of the people, and sure enough, as Christine said, the city lord actually has a good impression of the Grand Duke of Purple Moon, but he has no choice but to keep his henchmen by his side, everything given this time has a military garrison three hundred kilometers ahead, and when Benjamin and the others arrive there, they will send a token with the letter to the person in charge there, and the people and materials there will all belong to Her Royal Highness Princess Christine.

"Haha, this is a really good gift. After reading the letter, Benjamin also said happily.
