Chapter 50: The Road 1

(Thanks to Yi Shuchen and Blue Ghost Eye for their tips)

On the first day of July, Gehr once again came to the Araço Bridge.

Gehr had been here three times before.

The first time they came, due to the traitors in the team, Geer and Sophia had a very exciting and thrilling journey, which is still unforgettable for them, especially the little monkey around them, who has become lively and constantly reminds them of what has happened.

The second and third Gehrs were spent on the march, hurrying to and fro, leaving little image but the annoying vapor.

This visit to the Araçao Bridge is probably the last time in a long time.

The Araçao Bridge is still filled with water and smoke, but compared to the few times I passed it before, there were almost no people walking on the road, and now there are significantly more people on the bridge. Since hearing that the original Colbanson Territory had become a royal domain and began large-scale construction, merchants with a keen sense of smell drove ox carts and horse-drawn carts to transport truckloads of supplies to Winterdusk Castle, and the people received the news of Colborne's large-scale recruitment, and the people who were not satisfied with the little harvest in the fields began to go to Winterdusk Castle to look for opportunities, causing the route from Mora City to Winterdusk Castle to be unusually busy.

A few days ago, when Gehr passed through the town of Moria, which was closest to Wintertwilight, he found that the original barren town had changed dramatically, with a dense flow of people and many vendors, and many temporary simple houses suddenly popping up on the edge of the town, which showed that the town could no longer handle the sudden increase in population. I've heard that the town of Moria has been listed as a key expansion town, and the next time they return, they may not recognize this place again.

The people who went to San Rotalo with Gehr this time included all the members of the Colbenson family, the former steward of Winterwilight Castle Miller and his gardener father who had just been laid off, and some servant soldiers who were willing to go with Gell and them, and what surprised Gell a little was the former deputy instructor of the knight's battalion, Bot and his family, he was also the only knight-level combatant who was willing to follow Gehr, you must know that his two colleagues in the knight's camp immediately turned their heads to hug the royal family's thighs after Gehr handed over the rights of Winterwilight Castle to the royal family, after all, one is the royal family and the other is a baron, and most people know which one to choose。

But since this silent middle-aged man is willing to take the whole family with him, then Gell will not treat him badly, and now Bot is the captain of the Corbenson family's guard.

Guanger's men filled five carriages, plus Prince Philip's men and horses, the whole team had more than a dozen carriages, dragged out a long row on the road, plus the cavalry that was constantly riding horses next to it, it was extremely eye-catching.

Gehr sat in the carriage with his back against it, his body swaying with the shaking of the body.

The sound of horses' hooves ticking outside the carriage mixed with noisy human voices came in, and the time was almost noon, and the blazing sun was grilling the carriage, transmitting the heat in, making the whole carriage also start to heat up, a little boring.

However, the situation improved a lot after the carriage drove up the Arasuo Bridge, the unique natural environment with abundant water vapor made the temperature of the carriage drop suddenly, and the sound of the water rushing against the rock wall also covered those disturbing sounds, which made people's spirits rise for a while.

The gauze covering the windows was suddenly removed, and the multicolored light refracted by the water vapor poured into the car, and a small black shadow took advantage of the momentum to drill in.

"Wipe it clean!"

Geer's deep voice startled the black shadow, and its trembling body made its wet hair tremble, and immediately obediently picked up the dry towel hanging by the car window and wiped it on himself, it was Alex, the little ghost fire monkey adopted by Sophia.

Looking at the small droplets of water that kept shaking out with Alex's wiping motion, Gehr frowned and put the papers in his hand aside.

Pick up the wine glass on the side, inside is the wine that Prince Philip brought when he sent someone to deliver documents not long ago, and has been put in a cooler filled with crushed ice and cold, now take a sip, a cold feeling goes straight to my heart, and the heat on my body suddenly dissipates a lot.

"Strength 1.12, Agility 1.26, Constitution 1.25, Mental 2.24, Condition: Intact. ”

Looking at his state, the original temporary bonus has disappeared, but because he has been maintaining high-intensity training, his physical attributes have improved a lot compared to the original, especially his mental attributes are still in the state after the bonus. Although the strength is much worse than the previous one that is close to the big knight, and it doesn't even reach the physical standard of an ordinary knight, but with sword skills, it is still possible to compete with the average knight rank.

As long as he maintains this level of training intensity, Gell believes that it will not take long to return to the knightly rank, or even reach the state of the temporary bonus.

After drying his hair, Alex looked at Gehr, and after seeing that he was not reacting, he carefully ran to Sophia, who was sitting opposite Gehr, found a good position, curled up, and began to rest.

Sophia, who was beside Alex, leaned on the carriage and slept soundly, completely unaware of the movement of the little monkey beside her.

Gehr tested Sophia, but she was not suitable for learning martial arts, so he gave up the idea of cultivating her into a martial arts talent, and just let her learn basic breathing methods to improve her physical fitness. However, the basic breathing method is not something that can be practiced continuously, generally it takes half an hour to practice, and then it must enter the recovery period, at most twice a day, and the other time must let the organs and tissues in the body rest, otherwise the organs and tissues in the body will be damaged in the fatigue of stasis.

It is a confrontation between one's own strength and one's own body.

These days, under Gehr's supervision, Sophia continued to teach her the basic breathing methods taught by Gehr when she was in good health, and began to learn alchemy after doing the prescribed exercises, and the price of her efforts was fatigue, and she had fallen asleep in the carriage several times.

Gehr bowed slightly, picked up the document on one side again, and studied it carefully.

After the incident at Garro Manor, Gehr gave Tavron the badge he got from the mysterious woman and asked him to find out, and it has been quite a long time now, Gehr thought that Tavron couldn't find out, and then the relevant information was finally sent.

"Hermitage ...... Amber ......"

Gehr's fingertips moved slowly over the paper, his eyes looking at the papers, but there was a blank look in his eyes, and it was clear that he had entered a state of contemplation.

According to the information given by Tavren, this badge is a symbol belonging to the middle and high-ranking members of Amber, an organization affiliated to the Hermitage, and the people in Amber are codenamed by flowers, and the men are codenamed by trees, and are responsible for espionage, assassination and other work, which can be regarded as the most powerful hand in the darkness of the Hermitage.

In recent years, as the Brotherhood of Steel has grown stronger, there have been many conflicts with the Cult in various aspects, and there are many opportunities to deal with Amber, but the high-ranking members of Amber rarely appear, and the Brotherhood of Steel still lacks understanding of them.

After the introduction of amber, the back of the document is full of cases in recent years that can be determined to be done by amber, and the paper of the document is densely filled in, and you can even faintly smell the smell of blood emanating from these words.

"Amber?" Ger's eyes sparkled, and he put his right thumb and forefinger together, pinching the badge representing amber that Tavron had returned, and lifting it up to his eyes.

After looking at it for a while, Gehr smiled, then stretched out the window with his right hand and let go.

The oval-shaped coat of arms bounced off the ground a few times and was eventually trampled on by a horse's hooves.

Click.

The insignia, which had been judged to be made of a special type of amber, turned into powder under the horse's hooves, and soon after a gust of wind blew through it, and all the powder disappeared without a trace.

......

After several days, Gehr and Prince Philip arrived in the city of Mora.

The city is still the same, but the owner has changed.

On behalf of all the nobles of the city of Mora, Viscount Avis Crookson came to greet Prince Philip and his party, arrange accommodation for them, and invite them to a dinner party specially held for them at the Moon Bay Hotel, the best in the city of Mora.

Of course, the people of the Colburnson family were not very popular. Because of the murder of Earl Carter, most of the local nobles in Mora City have a strong sense of rejection of the Colbenson family, and if it weren't for the Colbenson family and Prince Philip, they might have come to greet them with a group of heavily armed soldiers.

Now, although they can't avoid Gehr, the local nobles of Mora City also try to ignore the people of the Colbenson family, keep a certain distance, and use indifference against Gehr.

Unlike those local nobles, Viscount Avis had a good attitude towards Gehr, not only shushing the cold and asking for warmth, but also chatting nonsense for a while, and the atmosphere was quite warm.

After arriving at the accommodation, Avis retired on behalf of the nobles to give the tired group some time to rest.

Prince Philip, because of his old age and lack of energy, went to rest first when he arrived at the accommodation, while Gehr went directly back to the room assigned to him, and the rest of the affairs were naturally taken care of by the housekeeper Miller and Sophia's mother, Lady Taria.

Gehr entered the room with his front feet, and Sophia followed in with two maids and began to clean up the room.

Gehr ignored them, sat down on the chair next to the desk, and began to check the gilded invitation in his hand, which was the dinner invitation that had just been sent by Viscount Avis himself.

"Sophia. Gell stopped Sophia, who was tidying up the room with the maid.

"Huh, brother?"

"You can come with me to tonight's banquet. ”

Sophia turned her head to look at Gehr's face for a moment, and showed a bright smile: "It's good." ”
