Chapter 148: Thieves and the Holy Cult Army
It seemed to be the reason for the rain before, and the air was still mixed with the humidity, and a trace of the smell of earth mixed with the smell of grass and trees, this was a secluded country road, the yellow and clear earth and the gray-black fallen leaves were so distinct.
On this path, the sparse footprints are so distinct, deep and messy footprints that illustrate the eagerness of the walkers.
On both sides of the path are dense jungles, and the deep and obscure jungle seems to be pregnant with great terror.
The path is connected to a road, and the gravel and dirt road is full of potholes, and even the best carriage can walk on such a road, which is bumpy.
The road is lined with mountains, and occasionally a small plain is dotted with villages, some of which are already desolate, and some of which are still inhabited.
A gorgeous and delicate carriage galloped along this road, and the carriage had a series of complicated and confused patterns like flowers, and the vermilion carriage perfectly matched the gold and silver lines.
The driver was a middle-aged man in a linen robe, with curly yellow-white hair, sunken eyes, and skin that seemed to cover the bones directly.
The cheekbones on his cheeks protruded, the muscles were bulging, and the hand driving the carriage was just as dry.
On the left and right sides of the carriage was a horse with a man seated, the one on the left wearing a pitch-black cape, the glossy leather armor under the cloak, the short sword at his waist, the gray-black striped hood, and the silver-white mask of indifference. 35xs
The person on the right was wearing silver-white armor, on the armor, the pattern of the Holy See of Light was clearly visible, and a broad sword was also carried by a horse, but the hilt was under the person's right hand, so that the person could grasp it at the first time.
The man's face was also obscured by the helmet's shield, revealing only the deep eyes.
The carriage is furnished very luxuriously and comfortably, with a bed in the whole inside, layers of velvet cushions underneath, and excellent shock absorption devices under the bed, even if the carriage is bumpy, the people in the carriage will not feel the vibration.
At the same time, two cupboards were made on both sides, in which fine wines and delicacies were stored.
The transparent windows on one side allow daylight to shine in, but the people outside will not see the scene inside, and the people inside can see the scenery outside.
At this moment, there was a man in a gorgeous red robe lying in the carriage, the man leaned on the pillow, looking at the scenes flashing outside the carriage, his eyes wandered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The man has waist-length black hair, and his black and white eyes are like starry skies.
At this moment, he was holding a letterhead in his hand, and on the outside was a complex and confused pattern, among which a red rose flower was very bright. 35xs
As the eldest son of the Duke of Rose, Yin Yuan set out from the imperial capital of Yelen and rushed back to the southwest of the Rose Territory, the town of Hope in the continuous blood-colored mountains, after receiving the duke's letter from the Duke brought by the butler.
The estate of the Duke of Rose is located in this town.
This is the hereditary territory of the Duke of Rose, the Scarlet Mountains, and the Rose is king. Anyone else who enters the Scarlet Mountains will disappear forever and never reappear again.
This mountain range, as if flowing with blood, will show a red light like blood donation in the early morning and dusk, mysterious and strange.
And everywhere in the mountains, no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, people can see the bewitching and bright green roses, blooming beautifully and movingly.
Thinking about the information he had learned, Yin Yuan stuffed the letter back into the letterhead, the letter was a letter written by the Duke of Rose to his son, the order of the letter was very confusing, and the words were not rigorous enough, although through the handwriting, Yin Yuan could judge that this was indeed written by the Duke of Rose.
Yes, after Yin Yuan entered this world, he replaced the identity of Duke Rose's son, and he had all the memories of Duke Rose's son during this period, it seemed that Yin Yuan had really lived here as Duke Rose's son for so many years.
The letter states that Duke Rose feels that he is about to die, so he orders the steward to go to the imperial capital to bring Yin Yuan, who is still studying at the Miska Academy, back to the realm.
As for the man on the left and right, according to the steward, it was the duke's escort who sent to protect the safety.
The two of them are a Holy Cult Army and a thief, both of whom are people who can't get along in the outside world and want to enter the Scarlet Mountains to seek a chance of life, and are taken in by the Duke of Rose, and after signing a contract, they will do things for the Duke of Rose.
The name of the Holy Cult is Disma, and it is said that because he offended the high-ranking people in the Holy See, he had to venture into the Scarlet Mountains, and was then taken in by the Duke of Rose and became one of the guards of the Duke of Rose.
The other is a thief, this thief is said to have committed the worst theft and murder in the kingdom, and was hunted down with no way to escape, and finally had to go to the Scarlet Mountains to seek a chance to survive, she did not tell the Duke of Rose her name, but only said a code name, the Raven, this is the death bird in the folklore of Rakam, and is said to be the incarnation of the god of Hades in the world.
Then he was rescued by Duke Rose in the Scarlet Mountains and became one of the guards.
Yes, the Scarlet Mountains are terrifying, but they are also the extrajudicial places that criminals dream of.
The king's is the king's, and the Rose's is outside the king's. This is a phrase that circulates in the Duchy of Lakam.
Of course, Yin Yuan also discovered through his memory that when he was studying at Miska Academy, the alumni looked at him strangely after hearing his identity.
At the same time, except for some of the various second mothers who came to inquire about the Duke of Rose and took care of themselves by the way, as well as the promotion of their daughters by the way, the men of the kingdom did not seem to have a very good attitude towards themselves.
Thinking of this, there is also a doubt, that is, in the years of study, the Duke of Rose has never been to the capital of the kingdom, and the king has never issued any orders related to the Duke of Rose, it seems that people are consciously ignoring all this.
There was no mansion of Duke Rose in the capital, and even the king did not summon Yin Yuan, the descendant of Duke Rose, the future Duke of Rose, and even, when Yin Yuan made a request to go home, it was quickly passed, and the king did not ask why. It was as if he deliberately asked Yin Yuan to leave quickly.
This is not normal at all, because the other dukes who occupy a vast land, their families are almost all in the duke's palace in the capital, and the scope of their activities is limited to the capital, and if they want to leave, they must apply, and then the king's ministers will discuss it carefully.
At the same time, the king would summon these family members into the palace for a banquet every few days, but in Yin Yuan's memory, he had not participated in it once.
What is the situation of this Duke of Rose?
