Chapter 18 Travel
ā...... Since the beginning of the Human Epoch in the Henaman Dynasty, the human kingdom has always pursued a political system of 'one king and many lords', in addition to the supreme king (or supreme emperor) in the northern imperial capital, there are hundreds of lords in the human kingdom who enjoy a high degree of autonomy within their own territory.

- The Sixth House of the Human Era: Pretz, by Defili Hashitair
The Baroness and Blake went out early in the morning, accompanied by Burke, saying that they were going to visit Tepenny. So when Hareddick heard that Blake had apologized to Xiuqi in front of everyone this morning, his eyes widened in disbelief, if he hadn't looked at Xiuqi who was grinning triumphantly, he would have thought that it was due to his own auditory hallucinations caused by a headache after a hangover.
"It must have been Madame who asked the young master to do this. Xiuqi said so, but the joy on his face did not diminish in the slightest.
"Even if that's the case, but that bastard kid will still apologize?! ā
Hearing Haredik's words, Han Long said a little unhappily: "The young master's surname is not Du Badeng, but Miles!"
Haredik waved his head lazily, indicating that he was not interested in arguing with Hanlon about such non-nutritious things, and then he turned his head to look at Beatta, who was sitting next to him with a gagged mouth and a sad face. When the Baroness and Blake went out this morning, Beata begged her mother to take her with her, but the Baroness once again coldly refused. Hareddieck looked at little Beata with a gloomy face, and thought to himself that if it weren't for the fact that her jaw had the mark of dawn of the Duandon family, he would have thought that this little girl was not his own.
However, this is someone else's family matter, and Hareditk is not good, or not interested in taking care of it, so he picks himself up and starts a new round of line discussions, and Beata, who has nowhere to go, naturally joins in the gag. It took three or four days for such a discussion to finally settle the basic line, and of course if you were to cut down the time it took to answer Beata's bizarre questions, it would probably be a day or two faster.
During this time, Haredith stayed at the hotel and met Blake a few times. Blake didn't call for him to be killed again, just threw Haredith a few ugly looks, and then made a dismissive look. Haredik naturally didn't care about him in general, after all, Blake was also one of his employers, and he didn't need to make trouble with him.
In terms of material preparation, Tepeni was indeed very powerful, and in just one day's work, he had prepared all the things on Haredik's list and sent them to the hotel. Now that the route has been set and the supplies are fully prepared, Haredik, Hanlon and others have decided to officially set off tomorrow afternoon. Baroness Miles was in the meeting for the first time, but she didn't say much, only a word or two when Hanlon asked her for instructions, just like she had said before: respect and trust Hanlon's decision.
Hareddic also asked Burke about Vilanya and the First Elves, and Burke told him that the First Elves had left Azonica two days earlier and had been escorted by Kuka to the Little Rond Mountains, and that after their tour was over, they would not return to Azonica but would head north to the Northern Wastelands. Haredik felt sad when he heard the news, but he didn't say anything, just drank a few drinks alone in the place where he was carrying others.
When it was finally time to officially set out, Han Long commanded his knights to pull the horses out of the stables and put them on the carriage, and carry the luggage that had been packed into the carriage. When Haredik looked at those northern pure ** who were putting on horse harness and snorting, he couldn't help but admire Hanlong's equestrian skills. These Northland horses, who need to be grazed frequently, have been kept in the underground caves of Azonica for several weeks, and although they look a little sluggish, they are still in good spirits, and none of them have gained weight from long-term captivity, and they still maintain the strong body of the Northland horses, which has to be attributed to Hanlon's meticulous care every day. ...,
All morning, the knight and the servants were busy loading all their luggage into the carriage, and almost all of them were so busy that they wished they could grow a few more hands, and even Beata was helping with some small pieces of luggage. So when she saw Hareddick leaning against the door frame, leisurely looking at the busy crowd around her, but she didn't have the slightest intention to help, she couldn't help but complain with some dissatisfaction: "Why don't you come over to help move things?!"
Haredith looked down at Beata, who was sweating profusely while holding a jar, and said unhurriedly, "You only paid me to be a guide, but you didn't pay me to be a coolie." ā
"But you can't be so lazy!" said Beata dissatisfied.
Haredith shrugged his shoulders and ignored the little girl, turned and whistled and walked to the backyard. Beata yelled a few times behind him, and seeing that the elf was ignoring him, she stuck her tongue out at Haredit's back, wrinkled her nose and snorted loudly before continuing to get busy.
When the last piece of luggage was loaded onto the carriage, everyone present burst into cheers, and Yusna and the servants of the inn brought out the lunch that had been prepared as a reward to everyone. This lunch could be regarded as the last meal that the baroness and her party had in this hotel, but there was no sadness of parting in the whole scene. The sound of singing and laughter still echoed at the table, and Xiuqi seized the last chance to pull Yulina, whose cheeks were flushed, and ran into his room, causing everyone behind him to burst into a burst of joking laughter.
After lunch, everyone officially set off for the journey. The Baroness and Blake were also invited down from the attic on the second floor at this time, Blake saw that the carriage he was riding in was also loaded with luggage, and he was immediately unhappy, and his brows twisted and he just wanted to reprimand a few words, but he was pressed by the Baroness with a look, and sat in the carriage unwillingly.
The Baroness, on the other hand, thanked everyone for their hard work, and even took out a bag of gold coins and handed them to Han Long, telling him to reward them with the money, which naturally attracted a cheer. Neither the baroness's servants nor the servants of the inn dared to approach this warlock, so some meals on weekdays, or to tell each other some things, were done by Hanlon's knights, and this time was no exception. Hemmel summoned the warlock from a room in the inn, and as usual, he didn't say a word, but took some books and a bag with potions and went straight into his carriage.
When the convoy was finished, the convoy began to start slowly, and Xiuqi was also making a final kiss with Yusina, and then left Yusina's arms and stepped onto his horse, and left the cave with the convoy in Yusna's tears and greetings.
After leaving the Nedfa Cave, the one who saw off everyone at the gate of Azonica was actually Tepeni, who was half crippled and unable to walk. Tepenny had one last meeting with the Baroness with the help of Burke and the other knights, and after biting his ears and talking silently for a long time, Tepenny stretched out his movable palm, patted the Baroness on the shoulder a few times, and said, "Emma, beware of Hawken, but don't trust the little lighthouse guys completely." ā
"I know, Uncle Tepenny, don't worry. The two of them spoke very softly, but Haredik's long ears were unusually sensitive, and they could hear a little bit of detail. "Hawken, is it Hawken Duanden?" Harleydick couldn't help but think of the long horse face of the Duendon family, who had just been made an earl and was known as the next family heir. But before he could think about it, the baroness returned to her carriage, and Tepenny waved her goodbye.
There are more than 100 convoys coming and going in Azonica City every day, and no one cares where this human convoy is heading, and naturally no one knows that the moment this inconspicuous convoy drives out of Azonica, the fate of the Mokelen continent quietly turns a new page
