Summer always comes faster than ordinary people expect. As soon as late September passes, the cool air will hit from the Eternal Glacier region in the north, and the entire northern Feinan Continent will enter a cold season that lasts for half a year.
People in the south will be very lucky to be born here. In September, they can enjoy the cool autumn weather unique to the south for a while, instead of the extreme climate of the north that is either hot or cold.
On a road large enough for four carriages to drive side by side, several figures were hesitantly walking forward. They walked on the side of the road, carefully avoiding the menacing carriages that were speeding in the middle of the road.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk!"
In the pouring rain, there was a familiar sound of wheels rolling on the muddy ground behind them.
A tall man wearing a cloak hurriedly protected a thin girl behind him.
The carriage drove past them with great arrogance, and the splashed mud mixed with the cold rain all hit the man's cloak.
The girl looked at the other person gratefully and whispered: "Thank you."
"You're welcome. You two were introduced by Mr. Dulan. Besides, I didn't do your business for nothing. Your father paid double the escort salary." The man in the cloak smiled heartily, and the group continued to move forward.
"It's a pity that the carriage on the road broke down, otherwise we would have reached Cordo long ago." After a while, the man said to himself.
The girl blinked her eyes and showed a look of longing: "Mr. Simodo, does Cordo really have endless sailing ships like the legend says?"
Simodo chuckled: "Of course, Cordo is a port known as the city of sailing ships. Although it is not as good as the big ports in the north, it is still very important in the south."
"In other words, I can see the sea from there?" Ricky asked excitedly.
Simodo nodded: "Of course."
Just as the girl was about to continue asking, the old knight's old voice suddenly sounded from the front: "That's enough, Ricky, don't ask any more. Mr. Simodo is also tired. You will naturally see the sea when you get to Cordo."
"
Ricky stuck out his tongue at Simodo and stopped talking.
After a while, the old knight said meaningfully: "We will soon arrive at Cordo, and by then, we and Mr. Simodo will have to part ways. Thank you very much for this journey.
Your care.”
Simodo said: "You're welcome."
There was a look of disappointment on Ricky's face. The old knight saw this and couldn't help but sigh.
They listened to Dulan's advice and fled the outskirts of Big Pudding City, all the way to the fork of the Thorn River in the east. There, they found Simodo and others according to Dulan's instructions. As Dulan said, these people
He accepted the task of escorting him and Ricky to the sailing city of Kordo, and they completed it well.
"On the road from the fork of the Thorn River to Cordo, ordinary little nobles would not dare to go alone, but this group of people actually walked along like this. We encountered bandits three times, robbers seven times, and half a dozen times along the way.
Fighting thieves and liars, but so far everything is safe and sound. Except for the fact that the original carriage died of horse poisoning and had to walk, this escort mission was completed perfectly!" The old knight slowly thought as he walked: "This way
As a result, even if you pay double the salary, it is still worth it.”
"It's just that these people are not idlers!" the old man thought in his mind, and his eyes swept over the group of people.
Needless to say, Ximodo is tall and powerful as if he has the blood of a barbarian. He always rushes to the forefront in every battle. Ordinary bandits are no match for him. His strength has already been
We are approaching the peak of the silver stage, and may break through at any time; there is another taciturn veteran, who seems to be called Jamal, who is very experienced. If it hadn't been for him along the way, I'm afraid the whole group would have been poisoned and been attacked several times at night; and that one
Although the young man holding the wolf was very awkward at first, he began to adapt to this kind of life after halfway through the journey, and his performance became better and better. It is obvious that he is very malleable.
As for the tall guy at the end, whose whole body was covered in a pitch-black cloak, the old man couldn't figure out his origin for the time being. The only time that guy took action was when he encountered a group of more powerful bandits, and the leader of that group of bandits was probably close to
Peak Silver's strength is comparable to Simodo's.
At that time, many strange things suddenly appeared in the cloak. There were ice arrows, fireballs, and even acid. According to the old man's judgment, this guy must be a warlock or a mage, and he was very powerful.
"Such a group of people are not like ordinary mercenaries." Although the old man is not smart, he still has experience.
Obviously, these people are as dangerous as that Duran. In this case, the old knight can naturally deduce that these people went to Kordo not to escort him specifically, but for another purpose.
"No matter what, it's better to keep Ricky away from them. These people are not good people." A trace of worry flashed in the old knight's eyes.
The team continued to move forward, but the road was still muddy and the light rain was still pouring.
…
"I thought that the leader of the dignified men in black would never take care of me again after leaving me, a weak woman, here."
Chloe leaned against the window, her fluffy pajamas untied, and she naturally revealed her confession.
"I'm curious, how did you discover me??" Dulan quietly fell down from the big tree in the yard, his figure extremely light.
Today, he is no longer the young man who desperately fled after being chased by the Lord's Guards. It is extremely easy for a golden-level assassin to enter and exit Bergen Manor.
"I have just awakened a new ability recently, which is that I can communicate with a new kind of creature." Chloe smiled sweetly.
Dulan nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly pointed to a little squirrel on the tree and asked, "Is that this little guy?"
Chloe nodded cheerfully, she had nothing to hide from Duran.
"Dulan, I told you last time that as the lord of Baisha Town, I am under increasing pressure." Chloe said sternly: "Those guys with real power have actually been suspicious of me for a long time.
, but they have received enough benefits and have not leaked it. But if this continues, I always feel that one day it will be exposed."
Dulan nodded and said, "I know, so I will take you away tomorrow night."
"Where to go?" Chloe's eyes lit up.
"Go to a newly born territory, where you can sleep peacefully without anyone or any enemies." Duran said softly.
Chloe shook her head and said, "I don't believe there is such a land on Feinan Continent?"
Du Lan said: "I didn't say it was on Feinan Continent."
A strange look flashed in Chloe's eyes: "I can't see through you more and more. Are you still the cautious Duran?"
Dulan came closer and changed the subject: "In short, I now invite you to become the governor of my new territory, but you must be mentally prepared. The new territory is much more difficult to manage than Baisha Town."
"It doesn't matter." Chloe smiled: "As long as I can leave this place, I can go anywhere."
"Thank you." Duran said.
"You're welcome, this is the promise I made to you." Chloe stroked her hair easily: "You kill Andrew, and I will do something for you. This is fair."
"So what's next? You won't come to Baisha Town empty-handed this time, right?" the girl asked smartly.
Dulan nodded: "Indeed, I still need your help with one thing."
"Tomorrow night, a large number of people will pass by near Baisha Town. I'm worried that they will attract some people's attention."
"So I need your help to hold back all the high-ranking figures in Baisha Town."
Chloe thought for a while and finally nodded slowly.
…
The continuous rain finally subsided, and on the empty road, a small hill protruded.
The group of people stood on the hill with tired faces, and the endless plain scenery fell into their eyes.
In the distance, countless white sails are raised high, ships enter the harbor in an orderly manner, and the noise of trade can be heard from a distance.
A majestic city stood there, quietly handling the flow of people.
"Is this the city of sailing ships, Cordo?" A trace of confusion flashed in Ricky's eyes.
"Yes, dear, we are here." The old knight breathed a long sigh of relief. He held Ricky's hand tightly and said to Simodo: "Thank you for your escort. Now that we have arrived,
It’s time for us to part ways.”
The girl was a little surprised.
Simodo nodded indifferently.
The figures of the father and daughter soon disappeared from their sight.
"Cordo, Cordo, we're finally here." Jamal smiled silently: "Tiepi, Master Duran told you why he asked us to gather here this time and prepare to go to sea.
What?"
Tiepi hesitated for a while and finally said:
"You should have heard of the place where the master wants to go."
"The legendary wonderland of the East China Sea, the refuge of the moon elves, Eberron."
