Half a month later, on the official road of Podre Town in the Austin Empire, a motorcade was entering the town in an orderly manner.
This is a caravan of about thirty people composed of several carriages. There is no family crest on the carriage, but it bears the general logo of Rosse, which means that this caravan is not owned by the noble family, but in Rosset. Under one of many chambers of commerce.
Without the background of nobles, no nobles in any place would naturally be alarmed, but for remote villages in the mountains like Podre, the arrival of caravans is fresh and aroused the crowds in the town.
I have to say that the onlookers are still very rewarding. For example, they saw a pair of beautiful children like elves walking out of the painting.
It was the black-haired teenager and the silver-haired girl in the middle compartment of the convoy. They were in the same compartment, and they seemed to be a young unmarried couple.
To ask why it is a husband and wife, first of all, it is because of a carriage. The second reason is that although the appearance of the two people is very beautiful, the color difference between their hair and eye pupils is too large. As for the third point, it is that the two people are very affectionate. Look like.
Every time they appear, the black-haired boy is stuck with the silver-haired girl, either holding or holding hands. The expression on the boy's face is good, and the girl has a happy smile.
For this expression, the married women in the town were all too familiar with them. They were completely immersed in romance, so various speculations came. Among them, the rumor that the young master of the Chamber of Commerce took his fiancee on a pre-marital trip was the most impressive.
Roja didn’t know about these things, and was used to cuddling Alisa from childhood to age, and even if he knew it was misunderstood, he didn’t bother to explain it, even if he knew that Alisa always acted close to outsiders. .
All of Eliza's mistakes can be forgiven. This is a theorem of Roja, and it hasn't been broken so far. The juvenile's doting on silver-haired girls is real, even after making mistakes.
For the girl's confused night attack behavior at the beginning of the journey, Roja attributed it to a prank. No one from Cynthia and others dared to comment on this, but there is no doubt that people who have seen Alisa climb the bed are not convinced.
In the face of this situation, Roja had no choice but to strictly order everyone not to spread the matter. But for this order, I hope that everyone in the world would know about the night attack so that Alisha, who could not be married, was very dissatisfied, so she could only wait for Cynthia. It was revealed that the two were actually righteous brothers and sisters.
Cynthia breathed a sigh of relief when she knew that Roja and Alisa were not related by blood. She was thankful that her son, Lord Son, did not break ethics and was an ordinary person with common sense, but the look in Alisha's eyes changed immediately afterwards.
It was a look at the hostess.
After all, in Cynthia's view, both of them already have the same bed. Isn't this future marriage fixed? However, what she didn't know was that Roja's bed was comparable to the city wall of Rosse during the Hundred Years' War.
As the so-called change of the king's banner at the head of the city, the Eliza army only gained the upper hand at this time, but this did not delay the rapid development of the relationship between Cynthia and Alisha, and after knowing that the two were not related by blood, the Resolute sect was also the brother and sister every day. Xiu Enai chose to stand in line one after another.
The relationship between Lord Son and Miss Alisa is also very good today.
Cynthia looked at the direction of the carriage with a warm smile while directing her subordinates to move the wine. While in the carriage, Roja was staring at the cup in her hand shaking.
Since entering the town, Roja ordered his subordinates to collect Cady wine scattered in various shops and even residents’ homes, and he himself went directly to the best tavern in the town to buy a glass. For this wine with a history of more than a thousand years, Luo Ya To be honest, this historical researcher is quite interested.
I have to say, it’s really cheap. Two copper plates and a cup with a sweet lemon in it. According to the tavern owner, it’s because it’s too bitter. Squirt out.
Due to the brewing process, the degree of Kadi is not high, perhaps because of the mushrooms. It tastes numb and refreshing, but the taste is really not flattering.
It was bitter, quite bitter, and there was a slight smell of land, which was completely two extremes compared with the specialty wine of Acate.
Because it was too awful to drink, Roja didn't give Alisa a share, and when she returned, the girl just took a bite and her reaction proved Roja's behavior was correct.
Obviously, the local specialties did not satisfy Roja, but for Roja, who really came to the Austin Empire for the first time, there is more to be investigated. As a lord, visit foreign cities and towns to learn advanced experience. Lessons are necessary.
After a series of observations, Roja discovered one thing, that is, the Austin Empire may not be as rich and powerful as imagined. At least the construction of mountain towns is very poor, and it is even lagging behind Roja after a few years of governance. Carter leads the mountains in the south, and the residents have a poor sense of belonging to the Austin Empire.
The word pure-blood has no soil here, and the inexplicable sense of superiority naturally does not exist, which makes Roya very comfortable.
Think about it, too, when there is no solution to food and clothing, who cares about the blood of the kingdom, it is just a bubble when hungry and faint.
A day’s inspection made Roya once again firmed up Acate’s core idea of focusing on economic construction. After selling some daily necessities, supplementing food, and collecting more than 20 barrels of Cady, Roya and his team also After completing the mission here, after a rare hotel rest for the night, I embarked on the journey into the Charon Forest early the next morning.
------------------------------------------------
In the forest, the middle-aged man with brown hair and the old man with gray hair were marching in a chaotic bush.
The middle-aged person is Rodney, and the old person is named Wood. Both of them are village heads by profession and part-time leader of the Pagan Power sect.
As the head of a village and the leader of a sect, they undoubtedly have a good status, but now their appearance can only be described as embarrassing.
The Rodneys are relatively young compared to Wood. They fight and spray steam and fire, so their clothes are especially bad. The straps can be used as mops. The gray-haired old people are in better condition. A wolf leather jacket, but the hair is almost lost, nothing moves when the wind blows, and it is alive and bald into a leather jacket.
Obviously, the costumes of the two people are very inconsistent with their identities. As for why, that is really a long story.
It’s been three years since the village of the Power Sect was targeted by cultists because of the curse of "Snake God’s Scales." Rodney and others moved twice in the past three years and were forced to cross the mountains and flee in desperation. Arrived in the deserted Charon Forest to shelter from the limelight, and at the same time, the whole village turned on the spiritual vision to look for clues to the gods and the sons of the gods.
As a pagan sect with some inheritance, the Power Sect deeply knows the influence of the gods on itself. And unlike the Perseverance Sect, the [Power] origin comes from giants and is relatively rough. The advantage is that it is easy to promote, but the disadvantage is that it is right. The body's requirements are very high, and the side effects are huge.
This is why there are only a few hundred people in the village of Power Sect, but two of them in Source Level 3, and the same pagan, only one Cynthia has been born in three generations of thousands of people from the Resolute Sect.
Power and cost are relative. This is Shia’s rule, no one can escape, and because of this, Rodney and others are more eager to see the existence of Lord Son, and they can’t wait to fly over and flew with their wings, because there is only The Lord Son can alleviate their side effects through the blessing of the gods.
The spiritual vision of the extraordinary people in the whole village has been turned on for three years. During the three years, both Rodney and Wood's eyes were staring like light bulbs. However, what made them desperate was that the young figure they had seen before has never been since then. Appeared until one night more than a month ago.
That night, more than twenty transcendents in the village succeeded in seeing the spirits, and the old village chief Wood had a vague sense of the specific location of the gods upstream by virtue of his extraordinary ability of seeing.
After dawn, the whole village shook, and everyone knew that they had found their way out. The spiritual visionaries who had persisted for three years cried bitterly, but they could only wipe their tears with leaves.
It's too miserable. Three years of field life is far from the world, and the strength sect has to be a savage.
Happiness came too suddenly, and it even caught people off guard. In fact, Rodney and others were really underprepared. After all, it was just the beginning of spring, and everyone had no rations at all, and they couldn’t get on the road if they knew their location. They could only take out one month’s worth of food. Time for high-intensity gathering and hunting.
There is no time for farming. You can only prepare dried fish, dried meat, and fruit. Hunt as long as you can hunt on the road. As for now, Rodney and Wood are holding the two barrels of fruit wine left in the village and want to take in their own. The Lord of the Forest repays his favor.
The lord of the forest, the ancient treeman Cade, this is the master of this vast area.
There are rumors in Charon Forest that there are werewolves. In fact, this matter is true. It’s just that those who are not werewolves in the true sense, but cursed humans, have lived with the Lord of the Forest for many years, and the Power Sect can live in this forest. Reluctantly rooted, but also relying on the Lord of the Forest's promise, the price is to give him a certain amount of wine every year.
At this time of parting, Rodney and Wood naturally wanted to express that they found the marker made in advance after going deep into the woods for a long time, and walked into a valley according to their memory, and at the moment they entered , The huge oak tree in the middle of the valley also opened his eyes.
"Greetings to you, Great Lord of the Forest."
Rodney and Wood hugged the barrel in salute. The tall treeman shook the canopy and nodded. However, before the two could speak, the treeman spoke hoarsely.
"It's just right, I need your help in some things, my friends."
