Chapter 138

Views:

The tense atmosphere soon spread out from the palace and began to expand to the entire palace.

Teams of guards hurried out of the palace, blocked the streets in the royal city, and began to search every place with a lot of traffic.

Immediately afterwards, the legion that was originally stationed in the training grounds outside the royal city also moved. A small part entered the royal city to assist the guards in the search, while the rest scattered around the king city and hurried to various traffic arteries. Set up temporary checkpoints to guard there, carefully searching for everyone who comes and goes.

For a time, the entire Wangcheng was shaking.

Looking around, the streets are full of patrolling soldiers, staring closely at everyone walking on the road.

The citizens of the royal city huddled in their houses honestly, and the guards were searching every building in the royal city one by one. Moreover, even the residences of those noble ministers were not spared. The head of the royal knights, Sage, showed the king's order that King Camos searched the whole city, and then brought his knights into the residences of noble ministers. Search carefully.

The dignitaries in the royal city were also stunned, not knowing what happened to make King Camos go so far.

They jumped up and down trying to find out a little bit of the inside story, but this time, King Camos personally issued the seal, and only a few people knew the inside story, so they tossed it for a long time, still full of doubts.

In the huge royal city, the majestic royal palace sits in the north and faces the south, and the entire royal city has three entrances and exits: the south gate, the east gate and the west gate.

From this day on, these three gates have been blocked.

Only allowed in, not allowed out.

Everyone and all the caravans who were originally scheduled to leave the city today were stopped at the door.

Guarded knights in bright black armor stood at the gate of the city, and the blood-stained terrifying aura emanating from them, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, suppressed the dissatisfaction of those who gathered at the gate but could not go out.

Should be fine soon.

Everyone so comforted themselves.

They'll just have to wait a little longer.

So, this wait a little longer, and then three days have passed.

The people waiting to leave the city waited for three days, but the city gate was still blocked.

Because even if the entire royal city was searched to the extent that almost an entire piece of land was uncovered, the knights still didn't seem to find the person they were looking for.

Just when the people who were too anxious to wait any longer started to get restless, an imperial order came from above.

The gates of the city were opened, and everyone was allowed to leave the city. It's just that every person who goes out of the city has to go through strict inspections.

At this moment, King Camos in the palace is also frowning and feeling irritable.

After all, the king city is the most prosperous city in Aaron Landis. People come and go every day, and the number of people entering and leaving is extremely large. Once only entry is allowed, the load on the king city will double, so it is impossible to block it like this forever. .

Forcibly blocking the city gate for three days is already the limit, so even if Garlan has not been found, King Camos has to speak and let those who have hoarded in the city leave the city.

However, even if everyone is allowed to leave the city, every city gate must be strictly searched.

And in order to prevent the news of Gallan's disappearance from leaking out, only a very few people knew the inside story, so these people who knew the inside were sent to each city gate to guard there, so that after discovering Prince Gallan, they could immediately Bring it back quietly so that no one else finds out about it.

On the second day after the city gate opened, Sage, the head of the Royal Knights Order, was in charge of guarding the southern city gate.

In order to avoid being conspicuous, he did not wear the iconic fiery red armor of the Royal Knights, but put on a set of ordinary guards armor.

He stood at the city gate, his piercing eyes searching among the crowded people at the city gate.

The head of the Sarge was also extremely dissatisfied with the matter of Prince Garlan's uprising.

He was stunned when he was called by King Camos that morning and talked about it in secret.

For him, as the head of the royal knights, the experience of the heads of the previous generations has taught him about the sinister and cruelty of the struggle for the throne. Father and son turned against each other, and brothers fought each other. It was a common thing - ever since he took over as the head of the regiment. From that day on, he was ready for such a bloody thing.

Who knew that this Prince of Gallan would play cards unreasonably.

Even though the throne was within reach, he gave up the throne without hesitation and ran away by himself!

Sage had heard someone privately talk about it before, saying that Prince Garlan's refusal to become a crown prince in the court at that time was actually wanting to welcome and rejecting it, pretending to show everyone.

Now, if he encounters someone who says this again, Sage feels that he will kick that person directly.

What do you want to welcome and what do you reject

The prince didn't say hello at all, and when everyone was too late to respond, he ran away so cleanly.

… the supreme throne, the glorious throne watched over by the gods…

Although Sage has no nostalgia for fame and fortune.

But the throne, that is no longer in the category of fame and fortune.

Asking himself, Sage realized that if he was in the position of Prince Garland, he would not be able to give up the throne so easily and give it to others anyway.

Therefore, even though he was very dissatisfied with Prince Gallan's behavior, Sarge had a subtle feeling towards Gallan in his heart.

This prince... seems very special.

The gates of the city were crowded, and there were long queues. Everyone had to go through a careful search when they went out of the city. Although it took a lot of time, under the watchful eyes of the guards on both sides of the city gate, who were wearing sharp armor and imposing manners, even in their hearts. No matter how impatient, everyone's face is very honest, and they are very cooperative with the inspection.

Horse-drawn carriages that can take people and goods in boxes are the key points of inspection.

With a bang, in the crowded line, one of the dark horses was probably irritated, and suddenly stomped its hoofs and made a neigh.

The old woman in the front of the line was startled, she fell on the ground, the vegetable basket in her hand fell to the ground, and the vegetables and fruits in it fell to the ground.

In the next second, the person leading the dark horse tightened the reins to make the restless horse calm down.

Noticing that there was a commotion here, a young guard knight immediately ran over to check.

By the time he arrived at the scene of the incident, the horse had quieted down. The owner of the horse has already helped the fallen old woman up, and is now squatting on the ground, putting the scattered fruits and vegetables back into the vegetable basket.

The guard knight glanced at it and guessed the cause and effect. He didn't say anything, then leaned over and helped pick up the remaining fruits.

When he got up, his eyes just met the person on the opposite side who also got up.

The girl who was looking at him lowered her eyes as if in shock.

She walked past the young knight with her head lowered, returned the packed vegetable basket to the old woman, and then bowed slightly to apologize to the old woman.

The knight turned his head and saw that when the girl leaned over, the long dark hair was like velvet falling in the night sky, slipping from the girl's slender shoulders, revealing the white back of the neck, the line of the neck was like a swan The graceful arc of the neck is inexplicably provocative.

The young knight's heart skipped a beat, thinking of seeing no evil, and averted his eyes in a panic.

The talkative old woman smiled and waved her hand, indicating that she was fine.

Just as it was her turn to leave the city, she hurried forward to be checked by the soldiers.

The knight of the guards followed the old woman forward and continued to perform her duties.

When the old woman was released, as soon as he looked up, he saw the black-haired girl walking with the horse.

The girl still lowered her eyes slightly, her slender eyelashes cast a light shadow on her white cheeks.

The lower half of her face is surrounded by a veil. Generally speaking, the veil needs to be removed when undergoing an examination, but the girl's veil is translucent, and even if it is covered by her face, the whole face of the girl can be seen. Couldn't cover her face, but instead made the girl with a delicate face look a little more hazy.

The black horse she was leading had a bag hanging from one side of the saddle, and a long sword protruded from the bag and was slanted.

It seemed that some introverted girls stood quietly in front of the knights of the guard and the soldiers guarding the city. Before they could speak, she took the initiative to take off the translucent veil and waited for their inspection.

She was dressed in a light blue women's strong suit, with a medium stature, slender hands and feet, and a well-proportioned body.

The girl's face revealed in the sun is like a flower bud that has just bloomed and is dotted with dew, but that kind of beauty does not appear delicate, and there is a faint hint of heroism in her eyebrows.

His long, jet-black hair was not tied up, but was draped over his shoulders. The jet-black forehead was scattered on the cheeks, which more and more brought out the whiteness of the girl's skin.

Those eyes, although slightly downcast, were as bright as the morning stars.

A little bit of red grease on the lips makes the girl's lips look bright red.

The young knight felt that this was probably the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in his life.

No wonder he had to cover half of his face with a veil. After all, such a beautiful face could easily attract wild bees and butterflies.

thought the knight.

If he wasn't on official business, he would probably be unable to help himself.

But unfortunately, he is on duty now. For him, duty is above all else.

The knight who takes responsibility as the most important thing did not hesitate to give up the opportunity to pursue this beautiful girl, and put his mind on the performance of his duties.

Holding back his regret, the knight of the guard dutifully checked, and raised his hand to signal that the girl could leave.

The black-haired girl nodded lightly as if expressing her gratitude to him, raised her hand and put on the veil again.

Then, she quietly led her horse and walked forward.

As she walked forward, the head of Sage, who was standing in the city gate, looked at her, and could just see her side face.

Although the girl's profile was covered by a translucent veil, it still couldn't hide her beauty.

However, the head of Sarge, who has dedicated his body and soul to the royal family, has never been interested in women's sex. At this moment, his eyes swept slightly on the girl's face, and he looked away carelessly. He raised his eyes to look at the next person who was about to pass through the city gate, especially the young man who looked like a teenager in the crowd.

The girl walked past him with a calm expression.

A gust of breeze blew from the gate of the city, gently blowing a strand of the girl's jet-black hair and passing it over Sage's shoulders.

Changed to another man, no matter how he would be heartbroken, he couldn't help but look back.

However, the steel-hearted Sage's eyebrows didn't move, and his piercing eyes were still sharply searching the crowd.

The girl walked out of the city gate, and after waiting a little less, she turned over and mounted the horse neatly.

The horse let out a low cry, and then trotted under the skillful control of the girl.

At the beginning, because there were too many people, the speed was not fast, and when there were fewer and fewer people, it became faster and faster.

Soon, it galloped down the avenue, its ponytail fluttering, its hooves stomping on the ground, leaving a trail of dust behind it.

Just like this, the horse galloped for more than an hour. Seeing that the horse under her seemed to be a little tired, the girl slowed down and turned from the avenue at a fork into the sheep intestines path next to it.

This place is already in a remote suburb with few people, and there are hardly any people on the trail where she is now jogging slowly.

The girl raised her hand and took off the veil from her face.

Her drooping eyes lifted up, the black hair on her forehead was blown by the wind, and the shadow of the fluffy black forehead falling into her eyes also dissipated.

Sunlight fell into 'her' pupils, reflecting a bright golden light.

'She' raised her hand and pressed it hard on her chest.

Not long ago, the heart in my chest was beating so violently that it almost burst out of my chest.

Tight... I'm so nervous!

As he pressed his chest, the nervous feeling that Garlan's heart was about to burst into his chest was still lingering.

At the city gate, when Sage looked at him at a glance, his face froze.

Fortunately, the veil concealed the stiffness of the corners of his mouth at that time, allowing him to barely hold on, without revealing his stuff on the spot.

so far so good… …

As he continued to walk slowly on the trail, Garlan thought with lingering fears.

Fortunately, the one responsible for guarding this gate is Sage.

After all, Sage didn't meet him many times, so he wasn't very familiar with him.

If this was replaced by either Kaijos or Heimos, even if he dyed his hair black and changed into this woman's clothes, he would definitely be seen through it immediately.

Thinking of this, the young man let out a long breath.

No matter what, he finally managed to escape from the royal city.

It was noon, the sun was high in the sky, and the dazzling sunlight hit the earth.

Bathed in the bright sunlight, the black-haired 'girl' urged her to get off the horse and galloped away again.

The jet-black long hair fluttered in the air, occasionally leaking a faint trace of gold.

The king city, which was left behind by him, gradually drifted away from him as the horses galloped.
