Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Half-Elf in Pursuit

The next day, Leo and Vianna, who had rested comfortably for the night, left the church of the Church of the Sun.

This time, they learned the lessons of yesterday, changed into normal clothes, and put a hat on the Valkyrie, which would minimize unnecessary trouble. In the vassal realm of the sun god, believers are even more repulsive than the mages themselves.

Leo stretched, looked around, and said to Vianna, "Let's go, it's time for us to go." ”

After saying that, he chose a direction and strode out.

Vianna hurriedly said: "Hey, it's not in the right direction, this is obviously the road we walked yesterday, do you want to go back?"

"How is it possible to go back. Leo smiled, "But I've been gone for so long, and I don't want to go any further." ”

"And what are you going to do?" Vianna was made more and more strange by him.

Leo casually explained: "Of course, I hired a carriage, a good carriage can travel at least 200 kilometers a day, which is comfortable and fast." ”

"Carriage ......" Vianna didn't know what she remembered, her face turned red, and she quickly lowered her head and followed Leo's footsteps.

............

In the midst of the carriages and horses, the heads of people were stupid, and in this small town on the border of the sacred kingdom of Urien, business was surprisingly hot, and the queue was almost outside the house.

Leo asked Vianna and Valkyrie to stay outside, lined up early, and asked the old man in front of him, "Uncle, why are there so many people, where are they going?"

"Everywhere you go. The old man replied casually, and when he saw Leo's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but be curious: "The young man is a foreigner." ”

"Yes. Leo nodded.

The old man sighed: "Then it's normal that you don't know, not long ago, a few demons came from the side of the White Bone Mountain Range and killed many people in our place." ”

Hearing him say this, Leo suddenly reacted and said in surprise: "These people won't all want to flee, right?"

The old man took two steps ahead and followed the group. He replied, "No, if those evil guys get in again, we will be the ones who will lose their lives." Those rich and noble families have their own carriages, and poor people like us can only come to the carriage and horse shop. To tell you the truth, my son has found a job in Golden Leaf City, and I am going to join him this time. ”

I chatted with the old man for a lot of time, and finally got Leo.

He hurriedly said to the busy Sun Elf boss, "Hello, I want to hire a carriage to go to Yang Halberd City. ”

The boss replied without raising his head: "Three silver coins and one ticket, departing at two o'clock in the afternoon." ”

"Uh, the bus?" said Leo, surprised.

The boss didn't care what he thought. Directly shouted: "Do you want to buy a ticket?"

Leo said patiently: "I want to hire a coachman and a carriage alone, money is not a problem. ”

"Yo ho?" the boss raised his head and pouted, "Do you think that in this case, we may have a separate carriage to rent to you?"

"......" Leo was speechless for a moment, and at the same time felt a very headache.

Judging from the current situation, the environment of the public carriage must be very unsatisfactory. Not to mention that Vianna couldn't accept being in the same carriage with a group of strangers, even he didn't want to.

There is no way. With the idea of giving it a try, he took out a delicate scroll in his arms and handed it to the Sun Elf boss.

"Please take a look at this. ”

"What is this......" The boss opened the scroll impatiently, waiting to see the words and symbols on it. But he almost broke his tongue.

After so many years of working in the cart and horse business, it was the first time he had seen this kind of thing, and he looked at it again and again.

Seeing that there was no movement in front of him, the people behind him suddenly became noisy.

"Hey. Why is it so slow!"

"yes, I've been waiting for twenty minutes!"

However, the Sun Elf boss turned a deaf ear, a full three minutes later. He carefully rolled up the scroll, returned it to Leo, and then put on a smiling face and said: "I'm sorry, you have also seen that now so many people want to travel, it is impossible to rent a whole car, but if you can accept it, then I can buy a car directly." ”

"Well, that's a real idea. Leo nodded secretly and asked, "How much does a carriage cost?"

"I can't say for sure, it depends on the car. The Sun Elf replied, and then shouted from behind him, "Bennie, come and take this distinguished guest to see the carriages currently on sale!"

............

Half an hour later, all formalities were completed, and Vianna and Valkyrie entered the luxurious carriage. Leo himself, on the other hand, took the driver's seat, raised his leather whip, and whipped lightly on the buttocks of the two tall horses.

A full thousand gold church coins are probably a huge fortune for ordinary people, but for Leo now, they are nothing at all. In the eyes of the one in the carriage, it is even worse than a dime.

As for the coachman...... Leo searched for a long time but couldn't find it, so he had to make a cameo first, wait until he got out of the city, and then let the Valkyrie take over.

After a while, the carriage came to the south gate of the town, and noticing that Leo's face was clearly not local, several guards immediately approached.

Because of the experience just now, Leo didn't say a word, and directly took out the scroll from his arms and handed it to the captain of the guard.

The captain opened the scroll for some unknown reason, and was stunned for a moment, and his expression was the same as that of the boss of the carriage and horse shop.

For it is written in lingua franca on the scroll: "It is hereby certified that Mr. Leo Minethir of the Calente Empire and his subordinates, as special guests of our Church, are permitted to visit freely in the territory of the Church of the Sun, and to request the convenience and assistance of the institutions of the kingdom." ”

The inscription is signed by the Bishop of the Church of the Sun in the town of Besard and the signature of the Church of the Sun.

Seeing this certificate, the attitude of the captain of the guard immediately became respectful, and he just swept it in the carriage and waved it away, and while returning the certificate to him, he also saluted a standard military salute.

Looking at the carriage in the distance, one of the guards asked, "Head, who is that man, and why do you still salute him?"

The captain shook his head: "I don't know either. But they're definitely a big guy!"

"Why?" the guard wondered.

The captain glared at his subordinates and explained, "Fool, have any of you ever heard that the church gives people such a certificate, and they have specifically asked us to facilitate and assist in access?"

"It seems like there really isn't. The guard nodded frequently, and soon wondered: "But I don't think that person looks like our country, could it be a forgery?"

The captain flatly denied: "Impossible! The appearance of the church emblem can be forged, but the feeling given in it cannot be forged at all! That certificate is absolutely true." ”

Several other guards soon joined in. One of them guessed: "Who will it be? Could it be the prince of any country? I think he has a very special temperament, and he is definitely not an ordinary person!"

The first guard wondered, "But when did he come to our side? I didn't hear of such a big man entering the city." ”

"Well, it certainly can't be from the Bone Mountains to the north. Then it should be the west. Isn't that a place of exile, and there are princes?"

"I don't understand, I don't understand. ”

"I see! It must be the young master of some big force in the penal colony! Haha, it must be that the power of the church has spread to the penal colony, he is here to negotiate, maybe it won't be long before we are no longer a border here. ”

"No, the woman in the carriage is obviously a moon elf, if you want me to say. Maybe it was the moon elf princess he kidnapped, and the two eloped together. ”

While these people were expressing their infinite imagination, no one paid attention to Leo after seeing him drive away. One of the guards' faces changed and quickly left while no one was looking.

More than ten minutes later, there was a rush of horses' hooves. The crowd looked back. Seeing that the other party was wearing the costume of the town guard, he didn't pay much attention to it.

In the blink of an eye, the war horse galloped out of the city gate. Only then did someone recognize the knight on the horse, and could not help but be surprised:

"Hey, hey, isn't that Captain Lamic guarding the north gate, what is he going to do in such a hurry?"

............

The overall environment of the Scorching Sun Plateau is completely different from that of the Mogaolei grassland, and there are more artificial signs here except for the lush golden forest in the distance. For example, a smooth rammed earth road stretches to the end of the line, and a sign erected on the side of the rammed earth road shows a clear direction for travelers.

And since leaving the town, Leo has decisively switched places with Valkyrie, and is now leaning comfortably on his seat. Judging from the current situation, the roads in the Kingdom of Divine Ureon are in good condition, and the Valkyrie has a soul connection with him, so she can check the situation outside at any time, so you don't have to worry about what will go wrong.

On the other side, Vianna took the scroll and asked, "Do you think this thing will work all the time?"

"What's the use?" Leo said, puzzled.

"That's it...... It's just ......" Vianna didn't know how to describe it for a while.

"Is it the VIP treatment now?" Leo guessed, seeing the other party nodding, he continued: "I don't think there should be any problem, although this is a small place, the effect may be better, but the Sun Church is the state religion here after all, even if you get to Yang Halberd City, it should be able to provide me with a lot of convenience." And with this thing, at least you don't have to worry about being treated as a spy again. ”

Hearing him say this, Vianna muttered unhappily, "Why doesn't this thing have my name?"

"What are you writing your name for?" Leo asked with a smile.

"With my name, if I come here again in the future, I won't have to spend any money on anything. Vianna tossed the scroll back to Leo.

Leo couldn't help but sigh, and was about to say something, when Vianna on the other side suddenly raised her eyebrows and looked angry.

Leo chuckled mentally and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"That nasty guy came after him yesterday. Vianna said as she poked her head out of the window.

As soon as the words fell, the sound of the bowstring trembling had already sounded, and a feathered arrow flew past the carriage, full of warning. The shout of the half-elf archers followed: "Stop the carriage, or don't blame me for being rude!"

Vianna was already a little unhappy, and was worried that she couldn't find a place to vent, so she was about to go to the cart door, but was stopped by Li.

"What?" she asked, with an unhappy expression.

Leo shook his head and said, "Leave it to me, this kind of little minion is not worth your help." ”

The half-flattering words made Vianna feel a lot more comfortable: "What are you going to do with him? That guy is of a higher level than you." ”

Leo smiled and said quite confidently: "One archer, Valkyrie is enough to deal with him." ”

Then a command was passed to the Valkyrie, and the two horses pulling the cart neighed and slowly stopped.

Leo jumped out of the carriage with agility, confronted the chasing half-elves, and asked in a loud voice, "What do you mean?"

The half-elf's equestrian skills were very exquisite, and he stopped three meters in front of Leo and replied in a cold voice: "Mage, I don't know how you used to get out of the church, but you don't want to escape me! ”

"What if I say no?" said Leo, holding his arms and not paying attention.

Such an act immediately angered the half-elf.

"Then you're looking for death!" he shouted, and then the figure flashed, and the longbow appeared in his hand.

The half-elf was fast enough, but someone was faster than him, and the next moment, a figure flew over.

"Brush!"

The sharp blade slashed through a silver light, and the half-elf had just reacted, but the bowstring had been cut off by the Valkyrie who suddenly appeared.

Losing the ability he relied on the most, the half-elf was obviously a little unacceptable, but his melee ability was not weak, and he immediately drew the dagger he carried with him, and started a fierce hand-to-hand fight with the Valkyrie.

Just two minutes later, the completely suppressed half-elf fell to his knees on the ground, covered with wounds, but fortunately, these wounds were not too deep, and he could not be killed for a while.

In fact, the original battle should definitely not be so easy, even if Leo faces the half-elves, I am afraid that he may not be able to win quickly.

The Valkyrie, however, was an exception, she had no idea what fear was, and her own combat skills were extremely high. Compared to the Valkyrie, who has super combat skills, the half-elf who is an archer is not an opponent at all.

What's more, the Valkyrie is made of the best metal of the dwarves, and her whole body is full of sharp weapons, and the little dagger of the half-elf cannot pose a threat to her at all, and Leo shamelessly asked her to take the battle method of fighting for her life, and the half-elf is of course even more unable to parry.

Coupled with the fact that Leo deliberately attracted the attention of the half-spirits at the beginning, he secretly let the Valkyrie sneak attack destroy the opponent's most important attacker, which created the current situation.

After increasing the energy consumption, the Valkyrie's speed and power output in a short period of time are close to that of high-level warriors, but her movements are lighter and her attacks are more abundant, so it is normal to defeat an archer who has lost her bow and arrows.
