Sophia's writing foundation is good, except for poor writing skills due to less practice, most of the words are still recognized.

In Sophia's case, Gehr began to teach her basic knowledge, and since she liked "The Basics of Alchemy", the knowledge taught was mainly in the three directions of arithmetic, physics and chemistry.

In the morning and evening, I went to the training car to exercise, and the rest of the time I taught Sophia to study, and the time on the train passed quickly.

......

Two days later, Mora City Station.

With the shrill whistle, the train slowly stopped.

"Mora City has arrived, it's time for the arriving passengers to get off the train!" the conductor's shout quickly made the otherwise quiet train station clamor.

Mora City Station, which is a border city station, does not have VIP access.

After Gredo and Anta separated the somewhat dense flow of people for Gel and Sofia, a group of four people passed through the ticket gate and set foot on the land of this northern city.

"Gredo, Anta, you go and rent a carriage and a few horses, and Sophia and I are waiting for you at that charr restaurant. Gehr tossed a canary coin to Gredo and pointed to a restaurant across the street from the station. Compared with Anta's ferocity, Gredo's composure is more favored by Geer.

"Yes, Master Griezmann. ”

"Sophia, let's go over there. ”

"That's good, brother. ”

The Shire Restaurant is a new restaurant that has been doing good business due to the flow of people at the train station. I heard that the owner of the restaurant has recently been to the Gantt Empire across the sea and learned some unique cooking techniques there, and even the name of the restaurant is named after the most famous food city in the Gantt Empire.

Gehr chose this place not because he wanted to taste the food, nor because the building was prominent, but because it was the only stronghold of the Brotherhood of Steel in County Joberna.

Today, Gehr chose a bright red shirt with a black silver-trimmed jacket and the Brotherhood of Steel logo pinned to his chest.

As soon as I entered the restaurant, I was greeted by a waiter.

"Good day, Lord Griezmann, Jack, a member of the Black Iron Class of Mora City, is at your service. The waiter carefully examined the badge on Ger's chest, and after making sure that it was correct, he saluted, revealing the same Brotherhood of Steel insignia on his chest, but the color was the black and gray of pig iron.

"Gave us a quieter location to see the outside. ”

"Okay, wait a minute. ”

Jack chose a window seat for Gehr with no guests nearby, and instructed several other waiters to move a few screens to help Gehr block the prying eyes of others.

"What do you need to order?" After doing all this, Jack walked over to Gehr, took out a menu and handed it to Gehr.

"Sophia, I'm not very hungry, just look at it. Gell took the menu and handed it to Sophia, leaving the piece of paper attached to the menu.

Sophia glanced at the paper that suddenly appeared in Geer's hand with some surprise, but she didn't make a sound, and obediently took the menu and began to order.

Jack seemed to be unaware of this, and still stood firmly on the side waiting for orders.

Gehr's actions were of course deliberate.

After getting along in the past few days, I already have a preliminary trust in Sophia Geer, and I have decided to cultivate her, after all, I can't rely on myself to do everything in the future, since Sophia is credible, then choosing her is also a good consideration, and cronies naturally have to choose the one they trust.

Sophia is a little younger now, but in a few years, it should be of some use to cultivate according to her personality, plus it is originally done casually, it doesn't matter if she succeeds or not, Gehr just does it according to her own heart.

Gehr, who has made a decision, is also preparing to selectively disclose some of his confidential information to Sophia, and today is the beginning.

Gell picked up the paper and looked at it, and there were some changes to Colbornson's collar below. After the funeral, there was no change in his relatives, and there was nothing unusual about the military government and aristocracy involved in them, as if they were waiting for Geer's arrival.

And what Gehr asked for the help of the Iron Brotherhood before was going well, and it was happening as Gehr expected.

Some of the desserts that Sophia ordered were quickly served.

"Is Tavron here?" asked Gehr.

"Lord Tavron is deploying the force as you asked, and now he is out of the city. Jack paused, looked at Gehr, and saw that he didn't care that Sophia was next to him, so he continued: "The personnel you need will follow you after the departure, and our men have followed your two minions, please rest assured." ”

"Well, you go down first. ”

Jack bowed and took his leave.

"Sophia, what do you want to ask?" said Gehr lightly.

"Brother, is there something wrong at home?" Sophia's tone was cautious.

"Grandpa died. ”

"Ahh

"I need someone to help me, I chose you, will you help me?" Gell asked in a low voice, staring into Sophia's eyes.

"I'm afraid...... I...... No way. It may have been that Gehr's expression frightened Sophia a little, making her pale and look very unconfident.

"I'll teach you if you don't understand, but I need your absolute loyalty, can you do it?"

"I ...... I can do it!" Sophia's expression turned to determination.

"Good. Gehr reached out and rubbed Sophia's head in satisfaction, leaving the little girl at a loss for a moment. This kind of intimate action is the first time since we met, and I have never slept in the same bed before.

"Keep eating. Gehr said with a pampering meaning.

"Yes. Although Sophia didn't understand what happened to Brother Geral, who felt very strange after this meeting, she felt that she was valued a lot, which made her very happy, especially now that Gehr showed an attitude, which made her feel a sense of happiness, and the dessert that was already very delicious was even sweeter in her mouth.

In fact, Gehr just suddenly remembered the biochemical dog Roger who had been raised by him in the last life and had always been loyal to him, and at this moment, Sophia and Rogge overlapped in Gehr's eyes......

......

Da-da-da.

The screen was gently knocked.

"Come in. ”

It was Jack who came in.

"Lord Griezmann, your minions have returned, and my men have not found anything wrong. After a moment's hesitation, Jack continued, "My lord, don't you really need my men to accompany you on your way?"

"It's fine. Gell rejected Jack's kindness and turned to Sophia and said, "Let's go, Sophia." ”

"That's good, brother. ”

Through the window of the restaurant, Gehr saw a black carriage coming from the corner of the street, and Gredo and Anta riding horses along the side of the carriage.

......

There is no train connection from Mora to Fort Winterdusk, the heart of Colbenson's home, and it is only possible to rely on traditional animal transport, which Gehr is expected to spend four days in a horse-drawn carriage to reach.

Only Gehr and Sofia stayed in the carriage, and Gredo and Anta followed the carriage on horseback, and the driver was the coachman provided by the carriage dealer, his sallow face was full of potholes of time, and he was very silent, but his driving skills were very good, and the carriage was very steady, which was a characteristic that Gehr admired.

For the first two days of their journey from Mora, the road was very smooth, and it was common to meet caravans of travelers, and along the side of the road were villages and towns, and it was not difficult for the four of them to find a room to sleep in during the rest time they stopped, eating a hot meal.

Gehr noticed that there were not many young men in each village, and that the work in the fields was dominated by old men, women and children, which was a strange situation, and asked Gredo and Anta during a break in the village: "There has been a war on the border recently, why is there so little young and middle-aged labor here?"

After a few days of getting along, Gehr learns the background information about Gredo and Anta.

Gredo was born and raised in the territory of Colbenson, and because of his talent and strength far beyond his peers, he stood out in the knightly apprenticeship selection held by Baron André, and finally climbed from a commoner to the position of knight of choice.

Anta is different from Gredo, he is an adventurer who lives in the mountains, the so-called adventurer can also be regarded as a kind of synonym for the unemployed vagrant, and later he was lucky enough to be recruited into the lord's guard, during which he performed well and showed excellent combat talent, and he also climbed to the position of knight after the last one, which is considered to be a regular from zero hour.

"It's not because of the war, young master. Young adults have gone to work in the city. Calledo smiled: "Now you can earn more money by working in the factories in the city than by farming, and here you can do some small business because of the main road, and in more remote places, except for those who can't walk, you can run to the city." ”

Gereo nodded thoughtfully.

It's all like this here, so what about Colburnson, who is a backcountry gallery?

......

Two days later, the group ended their journey in the plains and officially entered the mountainous area.

The sound of the wheels, which had been small and pleasant, was hard to hear, and the undulating terrain made the carriage resemble a boat, swaying with the "waves".

Looking out of the window, the blue-black mountains in the distance are undulating, the mountains are very strange, and at the end of the sight, you can see a bridge across the valley connecting the two mountains, and below is a high cliff, and the white waterfall cascades down on one side of the bridge, making a rumbling roar, even the side of Gehr that is so far away can be faintly heard.

"Arasuo Bridge?" Gal muttered to himself, unable to see it up close, but still imagining its majesty based on what he saw.

"Yes, Brother Gehr, after crossing the Araso Bridge, we will be home. Sophia, sticking her head out of the car window, gave an affirmative answer.

"Home?"
