There was no incident, no abnormality, no turmoil.
This seems to be a good thing for travelers. However, if there are no changes in life, it will be like a third-rate music played to the end. Even if it is novel at first, it will still be boring later.
A journey that is too dull may not be a good thing.
Lord Bishop Steele, who was sitting in the carriage, was still dressed as a businessman. After enjoying breakfast, he began to read in the morning as usual.
Since they had nothing to do except hurry up, those knights in shining armor were a little distracted. Steele told them that now they just need to wait for the result and don't need to do anything extra. The result was like the encounter with the wolf head a few days ago.
There are no more human battles, which really disappoints these knights who were looking forward to the battle.
Steele doesn't think there is anything wrong with the dull journey. He firmly believes that he is the final winner, and the "Holy Fruit of Eden" will only fall into his hands. So now Steele is calmly listening to the chirping of the birds in the forest.
He never took his eyes off the book as he composed the melody. Occasionally, he would recite a few profound verses to let himself fall into deep thought, and time would pass by quietly.
But now that he has left his busy desk, Steele really has nothing to do.
If people are too bored, they will do something to pass the time.
What does Bishop Steele do to pass the time?
In the eyes of these knights, it seems that the bishop's only entertainment is reading books. The books in Steele's hands may not all be written by the monks of the Illuminati. The books Steele reads are of various types, including astronomy, geography,
Anecdotes and biographies are all included.
However, they did not understand the joy of Steele. These Templars who had memorized the scriptures to their bones would not be interested in other books. Moreover, they were all martial artists in the first place, and their desire for knowledge only limited to martial arts.
.
When Steele was reading in the morning, except for moving his fingers to turn the pages, he was like a solemn sculpture, and no one dared to disturb his tranquility.
Steele is not a person who likes to waste time. He prefers his schedule to be fully scheduled. Only when he is so busy that he has no time to think about other unimportant things, Steele will feel fulfilled.
Of course, reading books is also an interesting thing. There is nothing more profound than a conversation with a sage, so Steele doesn't hate the time to calm down and read a book.
…
Just when Steele was about to turn to the next page, the carriage suddenly shook violently, and the smooth-edged page broke into two pieces at his fingertips.
"What's going on?! Don't you know that the adults are reading in the morning?"
The young man sitting in the carriage with him immediately stood up and scolded the groom outside who was driving.
"I'm so sorry, sir."
These two grooms are naturally Templar knights. With their extremely skilled driving skills, they should not make any stupid mistakes.
The two knights reported to the youth report: "The road ahead seems to have encountered a mudslide. It may be impassable until we clear away the mud and gravel. Do we need to take a detour?"
The young man stuck his head out of the window and saw that the road ahead was indeed blocked by sand. The previous movement should have been caused by the wheels running over the gravel on the road.
The mountains and forests nearby have been severely destroyed by local people. It is not uncommon for landslides to damage roads. It is probably not intentional.
"Clean it up as soon as possible, we can't delay our trip."
"yes!"
Letting these noble Templar knights work as cleaners is naturally overqualified, but there is nothing you can do in extraordinary times. The knights who happen to want to do something are still very motivated.
It would probably take a construction team more than a week to clear the road in front of us, but it wouldn't take more than a moment to let these Templar knights, who could break mountains and rocks, do it.
"No need."
While speaking, Steele took out the broken page from the book,
The young man beside him didn't understand what Steele meant. He asked: "What's wrong, sir?"
"Dolonka, are you sure that the 'puppies' are going in this direction?"
"Yes, my lord, there is nothing wrong with that."
The young man touched his eyebrows. The triangular mark on it was faintly shining, and he could clearly feel several marked target positions.
Since there were no new instructions from the carriage after Steele spoke out, the knights continued to roll up their sleeves and clear the road.
"No, we're on the wrong track."
In the car, Steele shook his head and rejected Dolonka's judgment.
"Impossible, sir, we won't lose you. The target is within our control."
Dolonka has absolute confidence in his abilities, and for this reason he is even willing to question Steele's authority.
"Wrong, we didn't find the right 'hound'. Wild dogs can't lead us to the dusty treasures."
Steele did not deny the abilities of young people, but they have indeed gone in the wrong direction.
"But where should we find the right 'hound'?"
Dolonka was a little confused. If they found the wrong guide from the beginning, then their current situation would not be good.
"Go here."
Steele took out the map and drew a circle on it. After all, he was a learner of the great prophecy and had a strong influence on the development of future events.
In Steele's view, the blocked roads and broken pages were reminders of where he should go.
Steele connected the words on the edge of the shredded paper and found that it happened to be a place name.
And this is the right destination.
"Half cliff?"
Dolonka saw clearly the location circled by Steele, so he marked their current location on the map, and then connected the two places with a straight line.
"It will take us about three days to get here."
It doesn't look like the journey is very long, but it will still take a long time.
After all, there are many mountainous areas along the way, and their route cannot really follow an ideal straight line.
Three days is Dolonka's conservative estimate. If there is any accident along the way, the arrival time will probably be delayed.
"Two days, we have to get here within two days."
"But……"
"Someone has already boarded the place first, and we don't have any extra time to waste."
Steele didn't give Dolonka any room, or time didn't give Steele any room.
The strong sense of uneasiness made Steele, who had always been calm, become impatient. He knew that if he really missed that critical moment, he would miss the "treasure".
"Understood."
Doronka bowed respectfully to Steele, and then the two of them got out of the carriage and sat on the horse.
Dolonka held the reins and ordered to the knights who had cleared away the mountains of earth and rocks: "All mount their horses, discard the carriages, and streamline their luggage."
"Where are we going? Sir."
This is an order for a rapid march. Although these knights are a little confused about the current situation, they will still carry out the young man's order.
