Volume Two The Fallen Light Chapter 77 The Journey
After that, the three of them stayed at the Oarsman's Inn on the River Styx for another week.
Under Ilosu's once-a-day double cultivation treatment, Joan of Arc has basically recovered.
From Joan of Arc's mouth, Eloise and Ekaterina also knew why Joan of Arc was able to survive the guidance arrow that could kill the legendary strong man.
That guidance arrow comes from the Holy Church, and it is attached with the power of the Holy Light. For Joan, the power of the same source can reduce a lot of lethality, and this is one of them.
When Snow Fox Raymond shot the guiding arrow, nearly half of the Snow Fox Thieves' group was lost, and the number of magic arrows shot was reduced by nearly half. This is the second reason. If there are so many magic arrows, Zhen
I'm afraid Germany will run out of oil and go to see her god of light.
In order to facilitate the recovery of Joan of Arc and the frail Ekaterina, and to hide their identities, Iros specifically asked the owner of the Styx Oarsman Inn to prepare a carriage and a hen for the three of them.
horse.
Since grapes are a part of Sharma in Albrex, although they are rare, they can always be seen. However, they are extremely rare in the Xirel Empire.
In order to deceive others, Yekaterina cast a camouflage spell on Grape, making the tall and powerful Grape look like an ordinary horse. This spell can only be seen through by high-level wizards.
Then Grape and the purchased young mare pulled the carriage together, and Eloise acted as the driver. Joan of Arc and Ekaterina rested in the carriage, which reduced a lot of unnecessary trouble and avoided exposing their traces.
With Grape and the little mare entangled with each other, the carriage of three people drove slowly on the official road leading to Batoria from the Cyrel Empire.
Eloise was also a little speechless. Ever since Putao had his awakening in Mogadishu, he had become lustful. At this moment, it was not honest to pull the carriage side by side with the little mare. He was either rubbing the little mare with his body or stretching.
He licked the little mare with his tongue, causing the carriage to move crookedly, which made Eloise roll her eyes.
How could I have such a lustful horse?
As for the little kid who lost his parents and had been under the care of Catherine, he was sent away by Joan of Arc who had regained her strength using the secret line of the Holy Church.
The little guy's physique is extremely suitable for cultivating holy fighting energy or spells. Although the training will be a little harder when sent to the Holy Church to grow up, it can ensure that the little guy has enough food and clothing, and can even become the backbone of the Holy Church in the future.
This result is better than being homeless with Ekaterina, and it can be regarded as Ekaterina repaying the farmer and his wife for their life-saving grace.
The late spring in Xi'eril is not that cold, with a slight coolness, and the blowing is soft and comfortable on the body.
Walking straight south is the place where the Batoria Official Road borders. The straight-line distance is about a thousand kilometers. If you walk quickly, you can reach it in a week.
Xirel's official road is wide enough for four carriages to move forward in parallel at the same time. The ground is paved with cobblestones. Although the cost is much higher than that of the dirt road, the road conditions are flatter and will not become muddy due to rain or snow.
Unbearable, unable to move even an inch.
At the same time, it also reduces the trouble and expense of having to renovate dirt roads every few years, which can be regarded as a once and for all solution to the problem.
Of course, this move can only be accomplished by the Xirel Empire and the Holy Empire in the south. The former is not short of money, while the latter is fanatical and has a lot of free labor.
Eloise sat on the carriage and looked back at the end of his sight, as if the Shire Territory was vaguely floating in his eyes.
Eloise knew that it was because he missed everything about Shire so much that he had some hallucinations.
What Charles left in his heart was not only his twenty years of life, but also countless precious memories, as well as his adoptive father, Grand Duke Gros, his teacher Gonzalez, and his beloved Fiona.
Because Ilosu's sixth sense told him that this journey would not go smoothly. There must be some changes on the way to escort Princess Ekaterina, which would directly lead to the short-term inability to return to the Shire, because he had to take care of Gros.
The Grand Duke fulfilled his obligations to Charles III.
Iloth didn't know how many friends there were in Batoria, but he knew that there must be many enemies they might encounter on the way. It could be said that they were surrounded on all sides at the moment, and if their whereabouts were exposed, they would look around and see everyone.
They are all enemies. After all, a huge bounty is enough to impress any person or force.
At the same time, you can also use this to make friends with Peter, the new emperor of Ablix.
On the first day after leaving the town, the carriage set off in the early morning before the sun showed up, and did not rest until dusk.
For breakfast and lunch, Joan of Arc and Catherine worked together to make pies made of dried meat, cheese and scones using divine vindictiveness and magic flames. They also added several barrels of Batorian ale stored in the carriage.
The comfort level of getting on the carriage, this journey was not that comfortable compared to the tough days in the past.
But for Catherine and Joan of Arc, even riding in the carriage was very tiring. Only Eloise's eyes were still shrewd. Grape and the little mare also seemed to still have vitality. After pulling the carriage for a day, they still felt the same.
Walking steadily and full of energy.
The further south you go, the more carriages and pedestrians there are along the way, and there are even more endless caravans.
The trade and exchanges between Cyril and Batoria are much greater than that of Albrex. The nobles and commoners of these two countries actually look down on Albrex at their core.
They generally believe that the people of Albrex are northern barbarians, only more civilized than the orcs.
This kind of prejudice and discrimination is of the same nature as the nobles and commoners of the Albrex Imperial City looking down on the Shire people.
In order to avoid and reduce trouble, Elos decided to avoid the endless flow of convoys and crowds on the pipeline, and drove towards the jungle on the left, trying to find a relatively secluded station in it, and prepare to have a good rest.
It was almost dusk at this time, and the sun was sinking towards the western horizon, dyeing the long mountains and rivers red with its last afterglow. This jungle was shrouded in Ningxin's faint golden light, as if time had frozen and the years were quiet.
When it got dark, in a jungle clearing far away from the pipeline, Elos found a suitable station.
After the three of them had dinner, Joan of Arc and Catherine rested in the carriage, with Eloise keeping watch outside.
Unlike Joan who immediately fell to the ground to sleep, Ekaterina was a little unable to sleep at this moment, so she walked out of the carriage and sat next to Eloise.
"Thank you for giving me the evocation spell book. Evocation spells are very rare, especially books with such complete records."
"As long as it helps you, I also borrow flowers to offer to Buddha. I didn't expect there to be such a talented person in the Snow Fox Thieves Group. I also heard my teacher Gonzalez say that the casting method of the evocation spell is somewhat close to martial arts, and its power is
It is large and also makes up for the weakness of some mages who are vulnerable when they are close, and they are not particular about talent." Illos has a legendary teacher. Even though he is a physics professional, he still knows the basic common sense of spells.
Yekaterina nodded in agreement: "I am gifted in ice magic. In fact, ice magic is more suitable for legions or large-scale operations. In single combat, the power and speed of casting spells are insufficient compared to other magics.
I can also learn this evocation magic, which can just make up for my shortcomings. Eloise, thank you so much!"
"As long as it's useful, I hope your strength can slowly grow, because even if you get the asylum of Batoria, to Batoria, you will still be just an exiled princess, and you still have some crimes that you can't prove yourself.
Your Peter should understand what is more important than Batoria. I hope that one day you can rely on your own strength to carry out revenge, instead of embarking on the road of revenge where you may not be able to get help even if you wrong yourself."
Ilosu said it sincerely, because his enemy was more powerful, especially after coming into contact with Everything Is Three, Ilosu knew that it was impossible to defeat the Holy Church on his own, let alone the God of Light.
"I understand that strength is the foundation for a stable life. If I had the strength of a legendary mage now, I would be the one who would have trouble sleeping and eating, my second brother Peter. I never expected that Batoria would seek justice for me.
Even though the Knight King of Batoria is my mother's brother. From this coup, I learned a truth: never place your hopes on others. Also, politics focuses on interests and exchanges, and I don't have that capital now.
"Ekaterina said lightly.
But these insights and experiences were obtained at a heavy price.
