The next day, Iros bid farewell to Grand Duke Gros, Gonzalez, and his comrades of the Silver Hand.
Fiona didn't send Eloise off. She really didn't have the strength to get up after her first job.
After the two kissed goodbye, no more words were needed.
There is only one sentence from Fiona: "Waiting for you."
Iros is riding a grape, wearing ordinary black armor without emblems, a gray burqa, and a mask on his face. This trip is mainly low-key and invisible.
Looking at the magnificent Storm Fortress and the Grand Duke and his entourage seeing him off, Iros couldn't help but feel sad. After all, he had lived here for nearly 20 years.
But the revenge of one's parents cannot be ignored. Now that you know it, there is no reason to ignore it.
I hope everything goes well on this trip. After everything is over, I will return to the Shire immediately to prepare for the next orc invasion.
As the man and the horse walked farther and farther, the Storm Fortress disappeared into the northern horizon.
After walking for several days, Eloth walked out of the borders of the Shire and set foot on the land of the Middenheim province of the Albrex Empire.
Since entering Middenheim, Iros felt as if someone was spying on him. However, he did not find anything unusual after opening the realm.
Iros knew that the enemy might have used methods unknown to him to spy on him, but he didn't know who was coming.
The most likely person is someone sent by Emperor Heinrich of Cyril. After all, the legendary strongman sent before has already failed.
Iros was extra careful during the rest of the journey, but the enemy never showed up, and the sense of voyeurism detected by his sixth sense still existed.
After continuing to walk south for more than ten days, Iros arrived at Mogadishu, a small border town in Abrekes.
Mogadishu borders the Shirel Empire. Although the city is not large, it has a large foreign population, mostly merchants who trade between the two countries.
It was almost dusk and the city gate was about to close. After showing the guards the route prepared by the Grand Duke, they entered the city.
After entering the city, Elos felt a stronger sense of voyeurism, and he might be getting closer to the enemy who had ill intentions towards him.
Iros remained calm and found a relatively clean hotel to stay at.
The moment I opened the door of the hotel room, I saw a huge crowd. People of all kinds crowded into the hall, and the noise was endless.
The sounds of drinking and bragging were also mixed with the screams of the maid's butt being wiped off by the drunken man as he served food and wine, as well as malicious laughter.
When Iros opened the door and entered the house, everyone in the hall looked at the door habitually, feeling as if they saw an unsheathed sword.
Feeling that Iros was not easy to mess with, everyone turned around and continued to drink their own wine and brag about themselves.
Because Elos had just been promoted to the Holy Realm and could not control his power well, his sharp edges were exposed.
The hotel owner cleverly led Iros to an unoccupied table and wiped the oil stains on the table with the same dirty rag.
"Guest, what services do you need?" the hotel owner asked cautiously. As a small business owner who has been on the border for many years, he can feel that Ilos is extraordinary.
"Feed the Shire horse outside, and then serve me any carnivorous food. The amount should be enough." Iros said, taking out a money bag from his arms and taking out a gold galleons.
.
The innkeeper's eyes widened when he saw it. The merchants and mercenaries who came and went rarely paid so generously. What's more, this guest could ride a Shire horse and was either noble or wealthy.
You must know that only the Heavy Knights and high-ranking nobles have Sharma horses. Even important officials of the empire must have a good relationship with the military to own one.
Carefully putting the gold galon into his arms, the innkeeper immediately ran to the kitchen with a smile on his face to prepare meals for Eloise.
When Ilos paid the innkeeper Jin Galleons just now, many people saw clearly the money bag filled with Jin Galleons.
Due to Iros's momentum, many people who were called mercenaries but actually often engaged in road robbery gave up the idea of coming forward to extort money.
But when faced with the temptation of Jin Gallon, there are always some bold and profit-seeking guys who want to take risks.
I saw four or five strong men standing in front of the bar. Judging from their attire, they should be mercenaries, specializing in providing protection services for passing caravans.
The strong man in the lead had red hair and a huge scar running through his entire face. He looked extremely untouchable.
Seeing them getting up, some businessmen next to Iros moved their bodies away from the area where Iros was sitting, so as not to harm Chi Yu.
"Boy, seeing that you are all alone, I'm afraid it's not safe on the road!" The red-haired man sat down opposite Eloise.
"How about your safety being guaranteed by our Fire Wolf Mercenary Group?"
The stench of alcohol came out of his mouth, and Iros couldn't help but frown even though he was wearing a mask.
"No, I don't need it." Iros rejected the red-haired man's "kindness".
The red-haired burly man immediately stood up, his nearly two-meter figure looking extremely oppressive.
"You ungrateful boy, it seems you will be fined if you don't eat the toast!"
The red-haired strong man immediately signaled his men behind him to take out their weapons, preparing to rob the boy, and then run away before the city defense troops arrived.
If it weren't for the fact that Iros's aura was so astonishing that we couldn't be sure of his details, the red-haired man from the Fire Wolf Mercenary Group wouldn't have summoned his men to deal with the skinny young man in front of him.
The large number of people in the Fire Wolf mercenary group expected that Yi Luosi alone would not be able to cause any trouble, so in the end they obediently handed over the golden Gallon with both hands.
"Get out!" Eloise's voice was not loud, but it was very penetrating.
"You bastard!" The red-haired man was furious and stretched out his hands like iron towers to grab Elos.
When those giant hands were about to catch Elos, before anyone could see what the move was, the red-haired man flew out and hit a big hole in the hotel bar.
I saw that he was unconscious at this moment, and his arms were twisted on the ground. It seemed that his hands were useless.
Only then did the rest of the Fire Wolf Mercenary Group react, took out their weapons and swarmed towards Ilos.
Iros punched out with both hands, and in one fell swoop, he knocked the remaining four members of the Fire Wolf Mercenary Group away, and hit the unconscious fat man one after another.
The hotel owner heard the sound of fighting and ran out of the kitchen in a hurry. Faced with the situation in front of him, he was trembling and speechless.
Iros threw a gold galleung to the innkeeper and said calmly.
"Go and find the city defense army. This gold galleon is your compensation."
The innkeeper's originally sad face immediately turned into a smile, and he hurriedly ordered a young man to find the city defense army.
When a small group of city defense troops arrived, Iros showed them the imperial pass given by Archduke Charles and the token representing the Grand Duke's identity.
After seeing the pass and token, the captain of the city defense army gave Iros a respectful military salute, then dragged away the unconscious five members of the Fire Wolf mercenary group and put them in a prison.
After the city defense army left with the five members of the Fire Wolf Mercenary Group, the hotel became noisy again, but it could be felt that everyone deliberately lowered their voices.
Some of the eyes looking at Eloise were also full of awe.
Sure enough, people fear power rather than virtue.
Not long after, the innkeeper brought Eloise’s food.
As a small shabby hotel in a border city, it is naturally impossible to have any exquisite food, but the advantage is that it is plentiful and filling.
The food that was served included a roast lamb shank, a roast steak, a large plate of mashed potatoes and smoked ham salad, and a large glass of ale.
Eloise, who had been sleeping in the open for half a month, immediately took off his mask and started to feast.
Her handsome face was revealed, and everyone in the hotel was stunned. The women were fascinated and the men were jealous.
At the same time, the speed at which Elos devoured food made other people gasp.
Seeing that Ilos seemed not full after finishing the food in front of him, which was enough for three people, the innkeeper hurriedly ordered the kitchen to prepare food.
It wasn't until Elos finished eating the food for five people again that he showed a satisfied look, which made the hotel owner let out a long sigh of relief.
After instructing the hotel owner to take care of his mount Putao, he walked up to the room on the second floor of the hotel under the guidance of the maid to prepare for a rest.
The room was quite clean and tidy. Iros, who rejected the maid's advances, closed the door and went to bed to rest.
In the middle of the night, while he was sleeping soundly, Iros suddenly got up. He sensed that enemies who were spying on him along the way and had malicious intentions were nearby.
