In the early morning in the Sakara Empire, the breath is still as fresh as in the Bavarian Empire. Especially now that we are walking among the open forests, the wind blowing in the face carries the unique smell of green grass and the faint fishy fragrance. It is really
Link and his party, who had just walked out of the camp, felt refreshed.
"It's so damn comfortable." Link felt the cool mountain breeze blowing everywhere. He was so comfortable that he almost wanted to have sex. He stretched out a lot and shouted: "It looks like I should leave early.
For a few days, the time I spent in Fort Yorok was really worse than death."
"Your manners, pay attention to your manners. Great Link Knight Guard, after all you have dealt with those celebrities for so many days, why do you still speak in this tone?" Earl Weir, who also walked out of the camp almost at the same time as Link,
He glanced at Qi Pa who was standing not far away and whispered: "Even if what you are telling is the truth, you don't have to be so loud. I'm afraid those guys can't hear you!"
"I was put in such a state those days, if I didn't complain more, it would be abnormal." Link looked unconcerned and said with a smile: "Those bird banquet rituals are simply...
Specifically designed to turn normal people into fools."
This was the third morning since they left Jorok Castle. Link, who had long been a little haggard from those almost never-ending banquets, heard that Lord Perigo finally took out the words he and those people
After officials from unknown parties coordinated the haphazard plan and route, Link immediately showed his unabashed attitude that he didn't want to stay any longer and insisted on getting on the road immediately.
Lord Perrigo did not express any objection to Link's request. After politely expressing his willingness to stay, he began to dispatch the escorts and send them off as soon as possible.
From top to bottom, the Sakara Empire did not dare to look down upon the protection work of the little princess and her group. However, in the plans and routes that Perigue brought over, it was obvious that the Sakara Empire was still keeping this secret.
The above is consistent with the royal family of the Bavarian Empire. The little princess and the others still serve as envoys of the Bavarian Empire and are protected by the local army along the way to Beijing. It is said that for the sake of concealment, the royal family of the Sakara Empire even provides escorts for the accompanying people.
Specific provisions were made on the number of troops.
Now we are in the jurisdiction of Lord Perigord's Fourth Military Council. Of course, Lord Perigord assigns soldiers to guard him. And Lord Perigord, in accordance with the order of the royal family of the Sakara Empire that the number of guards should be elite and small, gave the little princess
The escort they assigned was still the same group of Lord Perigord's personal cavalry with Zipa as the captain.
Of course, Lord Perigo also expressed his disapproval of the arrangement of the royal family of the Sakara Empire in his private chat with Link. In his words, the Sakara Empire, especially within the jurisdiction of his Fourth Military Council,
It was simply a time of peace, without even a small thief. According to him, those who should be assigned to follow the little princess and the others should be the honor guards, not these cavalry, but since this is from the imperial family
He had no choice but to carry out the order to the letter. For this, Lord Perigo also expressed his sincere apology to Link and the others.
Link has always felt that the old perverts he encountered were all the best among perverts, and Perigord, the old fox, at least in terms of scheming, is the best among them. At least these days, Link and the others have had a good relationship with this old fox.
There was not a lot of contact, but even now it's still not clear whether this old fox is testing each other with them, or whether he simply doesn't know that Link and the others are aware of his plot.
Just like this time, the old fox just directly sent the cavalry that was obviously at the level of his confidants and was probably ready to carry out the task of killing them in the small village to act as their escort.
Not worried that Link and the others would become suspicious, which made Link and the others who originally thought they had somewhat understood the old fox's thoughts a bit confused again.
"Actually, Master Link makes a lot of sense." Zipa saw the two of them talking, walked over, and said with a smile: "When you follow Master Perigord, there will always be one or two times a year when you need to accompany him.
The feeling of attending such a banquet with adults is sometimes as bad as killing someone head-on."
These days, on the premise that Link and the others have never raised any objections to Chippa's route arrangement, Chippa has always maintained a respectful attitude towards Link and the others, maintaining a rough appearance and being very good at talking.
, and Link and the others had already made plans and would not deliberately conflict with him, so on the surface, they seemed to be getting along quite happily.
"Two adults, the road sentry sent out last night has returned. They have inspected the road from here to Haliushen City. Everything is normal and there is nothing wrong." Qipa then said to Link and the others: "When Her Royal Highness the Princess has finished dressing,
After we have met the ceremony and had breakfast, we can set off."
If they knew nothing about Perigord's plot, Link and the others would definitely think that Chippa was a very dedicated guard. Even Perigord had clearly stated that there was not much danger on this road.
, even though there was no need for strict vigilance, Qipa still arranged for soldiers to take turns patrolling every day, and arranged manned sentries to explore the route and lead the way. He looked cautious and conscientious.
However, compared with the entire escort plan and route that was said to be coordinated by several high-level officials in the Sakala Empire, Zipa's dedication to his duties actually seems a bit funny. It's no wonder that Lord Perigueux would openly admit that he was concerned about this incident.
I am dissatisfied with the arrangement. If such a plan and route arrangement are really required for security protection, then no matter who looks at it, it can be said to be extremely mentally retarded.
In this plan, which was said to be kept secret and even the number of guards was drawn up by the royal family, it happened that some areas that deserved the most attention were not considered at all in terms of real safety and confidentiality.
Fort Joroch is where Perigueux, the head of the Fourth Military and Political Council, resides. Naturally, there are spacious official roads along various military strategic points and military and political residences, directly to the imperial capital, but after all, the little princess and the others are now driving Bavaria.
Once an envoy from the Er Empire travels along the official road, the cities along the way will inevitably have to welcome and send off envoys according to the etiquette of receiving foreign envoys. The royal family of the Sakara Empire is also worried that this will not only delay the trip, but also contact too many people.
There was so much, it was inevitable that they could not keep it secret, so the route they mapped out was not along the official road, but based on this, they created a route that went around a lot of circles. It was said to be to confuse the enemy, but Link thought it was easier.
First, make them stun themselves.
Being able to avoid passing through those castles and attending those boring banquets is certainly what Link wants. Even if it requires a lot of detours, Link will never object, so this is the only way.
But it wasn't until the actual trip started that Link felt that he had thought of things too simply.
Those royal nobles of the Sakala Empire, probably after so many years of peace, have become accustomed to using appropriate etiquette when receiving guests. Even under the current circumstances, they arranged for this special team
In order to avoid the big castles and settlements, Link still felt dumbfounded by his insistence on some details.
Since leaving Fort York, in addition to carrying necessary weapons, equipment and food supplies, this group of guards has also carried a large number of various luxuries for the princess and Weir, even every time they spend the night in the mountains.
, what was erected was not a simple marching tent, but a building similar to a small palace. Just spending a lot of time on the installation and disassembly of these things every day, and apart from the guards,
In addition, there are cooks and waitresses among the guards. The existence of these individuals and objects has seriously affected their traveling speed. According to this estimate, it will probably take a while for their group to reach the capital of the Sakala Empire.
Not a short time.
Furthermore, the number of this guard was originally controlled. Luxury goods accounted for a large proportion of the things they carried, and their food expenses were expensive. This also meant that they could follow this route.
Bypassing those large castles and garrison locations, it was inevitable that he would have to go to a nearby small town to replenish necessary items soon after. Therefore, Link had long been depressed to discover that he hoped not to participate in those individuals anymore.
The wish for a banquet must be difficult to realize.
"Two adults, I'm afraid we have to move as quickly as possible when we stay here." Qipa put his hands together, looked towards the gloomy sky, frowned and said: "It's still a long way from Habe City.
distance."
"It should be enough." Link also followed Zipa's example, looked at the sky, and said with a smile: "At least there is still more than half a day."
"What are you talking about?" Earl Weir was a little confused. He looked at Link and then at Chippa: "Why is the journey not short, and how long does it take?"
Link ignored Earl Weir's question, but turned his head, looked at Chippa with interest, and said: "I didn't expect Lord Chippa to be very experienced in this kind of life in the mountains.
!”
"Haha, our Sakala Empire is different from your Bavarian Empire. The area under the jurisdiction of our Fourth Military Council is also a relatively remote place in the empire, so most of the residents make a living by farming all year round.
, they all rely on the weather to make a living, and life is very difficult." Zipa understood what Link meant very well, and explained with a smile: "Since Lord Perigueux took office as the head of the Fourth Military and Political Council, he has been trying to find a way to
In order to make everyone's life easier, I spent a lot of time studying this method of observing the weather. I also compiled some songs and taught them to the illiterate people to sing. I just followed Monsieur Perigueux.
, I just learned a few superficial things.”
"Today's rain came at the right time." Zipa looked at the sky again, looking happy: "If it rains heavily now, we can be more sure of this year's harvest."
"Oh?!" Link seemed a little surprised by this answer and frowned, looking thoughtful.
"I said, what are you thinking?" Only poor Earl Weir still didn't understand. He grabbed Link and asked, "What on earth are you talking about? Why is it related to farming, everyone living a good life, etc.
Is it related?!”
"What a good day?" The little princess also finished dressing up, and walked out with the waiters waiting on her. She looked at Link and Earl Weir who were talking, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about? They seem to be very interested.
Looks tall."
"Meet Your Highness the Princess!" Qipa adhered to the etiquette between nobles every day along the way and never relaxed in the slightest. As soon as he saw the princess coming out, he immediately stopped smiling and walked forward to give a big salute.
Although Weir now regards the little princess more as one of his own, Zipa, a knight from the Sakara Empire, took the lead in saluting. Of course, he could not be too rude, so he also followed up and saluted.
"Your Highness, we were just saying that we have to move faster and hurry up." Only Link didn't pay much attention to this. He followed them and nodded, then winked at the little princess and explained.
He said: "Look at the clouds, there will be a heavy rain before dark."
The rainstorm is coming!
The wind whipped the rain, beating it everywhere. At a glance, it seemed that there was only a curtain made of rainwater between the sky and the earth, and nothing else could be seen on the other side.
"This rain is really heavy." Earl Weir, who was already staying in the Lord's Mansion of Habe City, was holding a cup of warm hot drink in his hand, looking at the heavy rain outside the window, and chatting with Link comfortably.
: "You and that Zipa are pretty good, how come you knew it was going to rain so early in the morning?"
"It's nothing. For people who have grown up in the mountains and fields, this is simply an instinct." Link seemed to be thinking about other things and replied casually: "But that guy Chippa can do this, too.
It’s quite unexpected.”
"I don't think this thing is difficult," Count Weir said a little unconvinced: "The military also has a special course on predicting the weather, but this kind of thing is not used now, and few people want to learn it.
That’s all.”
"Yes, it's not difficult to learn this kind of thing, but not many people know how to learn it now." Link remembered Zipa's answer, and couldn't help but frowned, and asked Count Weir: "
What kind of person do you think this Perigueux is?!"
"Duke Yorok of the Sakara Empire, the head of the Fourth Military Council, is also an old fox, a conspirator, and a killer who is always looking for an opportunity to kill us." Count Weir casually opened his mouth and said a series of words.
title, looked at Link, and said in surprise: "Anyway, we have just been hanging out with that guy for so many days, why do you suddenly have this problem now?!"
"A heavy rain now will make the lives of the residents who rely on farming and planting much better this year. Even Chippa knows this truth." Link shook his head and said with interest: "
I am really becoming more and more curious, what kind of person is this Lord Perigueux?!"
The Bavarian Empire has always encouraged commercial trade, and Kolo Castle is an important frontier town connecting the two empires. Therefore, most residents in Kolo Castle make a living through commercial trade and the provision of ancillary industries for commercial exchanges.
When it comes to farming and planting, Link himself really doesn't have much personal experience. Most of it was casually told to him by his little dad when he was teaching him how to look at the sky and predict the weather.
When Link was a child, he followed his little dad around in the foggy night forest all day long. The terrain in the foggy night forest was complicated. Often a heavy rain would change the terrain and form a swamp that could trap people to death. Therefore, those individuals
The method of predicting the weather from celestial images was forced to be memorized by his little dad since he was a child. At that time, almost no one living in Coloburg knew this method.
.
According to Link's little dad Star, this correspondence between celestial images and weather was passed down a long time ago when the people on the earth generally relied on farming to survive, and it still has a regular pattern every year.
There have been certain changes, but later, after the royal families of the major empires grasped the significance of such things to the economy and people's livelihood, this kind of thing was classified as the top secret by the royal families of the major empires, and was used as a reward for those obedient ministers.
, when the people on the earth, including the local lords, basically relied on the harvest of farming and planting, such rewards could be said to be almost the highest level of things that the royal family could give. However, after that, the Bavarian Empire began to develop commerce.
Trade and profits from commercial transactions gradually took over the mainstream of the empire, and such things were gradually forgotten by everyone, shelved in the cabinet, and sealed in the imperial city.
Link's little father Star only knew some of its contents through some rare opportunities. And because it was said that many people in his hometown relied on farming to make a living at that time, he put those people who could
The common parts were memorized and taught to Link.
Therefore, Link was really surprised after hearing Chipa's words. Apart from its military use, this ability to predict the weather can only be effective in improving people's livelihood, but he has to do it himself.
It is not a simple project to study these things. Could it be that Lord Perigueux really spends so much effort on such a thing?!
What kind of person is this Lord Perigueux?!
"Let me tell you, our dinner seems to be late." Riodo, the earth wolf, emerged from the ground and said dullly: "I think the city lord may not be able to come in a while.
