The scenery on both sides of the road kept receding, and the only sound in their ears was the clatter of horses' hooves, and David Mo and Lhea were silent. Both of them knew that after the auction of the Principality of Bavata, it would be separate days.

"Why don't you go to the Holy Court with me......" After hesitating for a while, David Mo finally broke the dull atmosphere. He didn't say this without purpose, but he was sure to bring Leia into the Holy Court.

Judging from Poole's speech and demeanor, his status in the Holy Court should not be low, and it is even likely that he is one of the twelve red-clothed priests, so the letter of recommendation he provides should have a high gold content, at least bringing people into the Holy Court is not a problem.

However, Leia has her own plans, these days when David Mo is away, Orlando Prime Minister Leo sent someone to find her, informing her that now the entire Gobi in Kosovo has been controlled by Leo, and the ambition of imperial revival is at hand, and expressed the hope that the princess can now preside over the overall situation.

Between love and her father's deathbed legacy, she chose the latter, as a descendant of the Windsor family, she was destined not to pursue her love like ordinary people.

The girl shook her head lightly and declined: "I may not be able to go to the Holy Court, because recently my relatives at home finally got news, and I have been away from home for too long, and I already want to go back." ”

David Mo didn't know Leia's family background, the little girl once said that there were no relatives at home, and now she suddenly said that there must be a reason for her. Since she didn't want to say it herself, he didn't ask about it, after all, everyone has a secret in their hearts, and even he hasn't revealed his real name?

At this time, he sat in front and couldn't see the sadness in the little girl's eyes. Just said to himself: "That's when I should go back... After all, it's always sad to be away from home for too long. ”

His eyes were a little wandering, and the word "family" reminded him of himself, and now he didn't know who his mother was. Even his father is uncertain about his life and death, the whole family has been completely shattered, and a sense of loneliness fills his heart.

There was silence again in the carriage, and neither of them spoke again.

......

The Duchy of Bawata is about one-third the size of the Holy Empire, and is a giant in western Orlando. And the people of the country live a relatively stable and prosperous life. Because in recent years, the country has gradually stopped the pace of territorial expansion and turned to supporting economic development.

Located on the southern border of Bawata, the small town of Hak has an immigration checkpoint for paperwork, and unlike ordinary small countries, any foreigner who wants to enter Bawata will need to obtain an entry permit.

There weren't many people at this checkpoint, as most of the merchants entering the Principality of Bawata were coming from the east and west, and this small and inconspicuous checkpoint in the south was hard to find even on a map.

An extremely handsome young man walked up to one of the counters, and the clerk in charge of the formalities yawned a little boredly, handed him a form lukewarmly, and said, "The fee for each person is three silver coins. If there are no questions, just fill out the form. ”

The handsome young man took the form and glanced at the words on it, and immediately handed the form to the girl who was accompanying him, and he said helplessly: "I can't understand a word, you have to fill in this." ”

The girl smiled lightly, took the form and began to fill it out with a quill pen, the content on it was very simple. One line filled in the name, the other line the purpose of coming to Bawata, so she quickly filled it out and handed it to the staff member.

When paying the handling fee, the handsome young man found that he didn't have enough silver coins on his body, so he directly gave a gold coin, and said with a light smile: "Don't look for it anymore, the extra is considered a tip." ”

Varta didn't have the bureaucratic atmosphere of the Holy Empire, so instead of feeling insulted, the staff member thanked him and took the gold away.

Then he swept away the boring attitude just now, and the stamping and signing became fast. Working here for many years. These people have long been able to see the details of the merchants at a glance, and this beautiful couple obviously belongs to the category of prominent backgrounds. So he directly exempted the car inspection and helped them complete all the customs clearance procedures.

"This is a customs clearance paperwork, and the city checkpoints along the way will be inspected, sir, you must keep it. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome to reissue it at that time......"

The staff handed the customs clearance paperwork to the handsome young man, and then said with some hesitation: "A little presumptuous reminder to you, if there is a female companion on the road, it is better to be careful, our southern region has been a little unpeaceful in the past two years." ”

The handsome young man said thank you, and did not ask why, and left with the girl after putting away the customs clearance paperwork. The staff member thought they weren't taking the reminder to heart, so he shook his head and sighed in a low voice, "I can only wish you good luck." ”

......

As the night wore on, the carriage did not stop. Late autumn is getting cooler, and this is the best time to wear a dress, which will not make people feel hot and reflect noble status.

However, for David Mo and Leia, the change of seasons did not have any effect, because the physique of cultivators above the silver level could ignore the changes in the weather.

The road was a little silent, except for the occasional barking of dogs from distant villages, and the girl had fallen asleep, and it was only by the man's side that she could sleep so peacefully.

Far from exhausting David Mo, the long journey made him even more eager to reach the royal city of Bawata. Occasionally, he would enter the Earl's space to visit Anisa, and that little pale face always reminded him that the porcelain doll suffered this torture all for him.

The sound of horses' hooves was crisp and loud, but David Mo's eyes burst out with a cold light, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he sneered in his heart: "It seems that the person at the checkpoint is right, the southern part of Bawata is really not peaceful." ”

Since sunset, he felt that someone was following him, but he had never been sure, but after all, he had a holy light-level divine sense, and after two or three tests, he knew the other party's traces.

About two hundred feet behind him, there was a group of about thirty or forty people, who followed intermittently for nearly two hours, but this group of people was very careful, and waited for him to stop tiredly.

When he discovered this group of people, instead of relaxing, a series of questions arose in his heart: Who were these people, why were they so cautious if they wanted to do wrong, and how did they know what was going on two hundred feet away and so far away?

The first question will only be clear when they fight, and the second question shows that this group of people already knows that he is a cultivator, and they have some concerns about his cultivation, otherwise they would not be so cautious.

In fact, it was not too unusual to be able to see that he was a cultivator, after all, he was so thinly dressed in this kind of weather, except for cultivators, there was generally no second explanation. And in order to ensure the speed of the carriage, he deliberately applied a layer of wind resistance on the carriage, which is a spell that only a mage above the first level of gold can cast on others.

What bothered him the most was how these people could find out what was going on two hundred feet away, but just now he had the answer. The figure of a goshawk beast flashed faintly in the sky, but because it flew too high, David Mo never noticed it.

These people followed so patiently, obviously it was not as simple as ordinary money, and in order to know their true intentions, he slowly stopped the carriage. Lifting the curtain to look inside the car, she found that Leia was still asleep, so she lowered the curtain again.

Leaning in front of the carriage, he closed his eyes slightly, and the goshawk beast in the sky really flashed out of the clouds again, and after hovering for a while, he turned around and flew away. A subtle smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, just waiting for the group of juniors to be resolved.

Now his character has changed from being cautious in the past to being cautious now, and if people offend me, I will offend. It's okay if these people didn't pay attention to him, but now that they have a crooked mind, they must all be killed.

As the minutes ticked by, the surroundings became quieter and quieter, even the occasional barking of dogs disappeared, and a slight sound of horses' hooves was heard, and thirty-five black-robed men gathered around the carriage parked on the side of the road.

"Please wake up, the sky is high and the mountains are far away, this place is not safe......" One of the masked men urged him to take two steps forward, and suddenly spoke to the handsome young man who was leaning on the carriage.

The handsome young man slowly opened his eyes, made a silent gesture with his left hand, and said in a somewhat unfamiliar Orlando Western: "You are quiet, there are still people sleeping in the car......"

Then he jumped down from the carriage, took two steps forward, and while arranging the white robe on his body, he said lightly: "I don't have any life here, I don't think you are here?"

His contemptuous attitude immediately angered the masked man, but the masked man still held back the anger in his heart and pretended to explain patiently: "Sir may have misunderstood, we are soldiers of the southern patrol of Bawata, and we just happened to patrol here...... The south has not been peaceful lately, and I advise you not to rest here. ”

He quietly made a gesture with his left hand behind his back, signaling his companions to act as soon as they noticed that something was wrong.

The handsome young man didn't seem to notice his small movements, and only said helplessly: "But it's late at night now, and there is no shop in front of the village here, so we don't seem to have a better place to choose." ”

There was a flash of joy in the masked man's eyes, and this sentence was exactly what he wanted. However, he was not in a hurry, but hesitated a little: "This is indeed a problem...... There's a patrol station not far ahead, so why don't you go there and rest for the night?"

The handsome young man pondered for a while before saying, "That's all it takes, then I'll thank you in advance." It's just that he said thank you, but his actions were quite arrogant, and he didn't mean to bow at all.

The masked man sneered in his heart, and scolded secretly: Let you be rampant for a while now, and I will bring you to my family later, and I must let you survive and not die!
