At this moment, the voice of the parchment rang in my ears: The borrowing of troops was successful, and I got five hundred gold coins for nothing.
Although he did not see Duke Willy, he successfully borrowed troops and also obtained so many gold coins. Werther was carrying the heavy bag and his smile was as bright as the sun.
"Then let's go back and see you later." He said to the guard.
"Take care, Your Highness. I'll see you soon. But I may not recognize you next time I see you."
"Haha, it's okay. I'll just introduce myself to you when the time comes."
After bidding farewell to the guards, Werther and Linna embarked on their journey back to Daybreak Town. It was already past dusk, and the sky was gradually darkening, between sky blue and dark blue.
"Witt, how is your physical strength now? After all, we forgot to bring food and water and ate wild fruits all the way here. Do you want to take a carriage for a while to a place where you can eat, and then use magic to go back after eating?" Lina was concerned.
asked.
"It's okay. Those wild fruits can barely satisfy my appetite. I slept on the carriage for so long and rested on the chair just now. I can still maintain my physical strength now. I will use magic to move forward first. Don't worry~ Wait
After teleporting for a while, we will have a good meal." At this time, Werther looked really energetic.
They walked forward, Werther always maintaining the same smile as before. As Lina walked, she turned her face sideways and looked at him expressionlessly.
Werther didn't notice Lina looking at him, he just walked forward on his own, feeling very happy.
I don’t know how long they walked, but Lina’s voice came to Werther’s ears: “Hey, it’s time for us to turn!”
Werther was suddenly stunned, looked at the road sign carefully, and said blankly: "I must be going right, this direction on the map is the direction we are going."
Linna spread her hands and sighed helplessly: "You said it, use magic to move forward for a while. There are few people around the castle, and after the turn, it is an inaccessible place. It is convenient for you to use magic. But then you go forward.
Just go to a crowded town and you won’t be able to find a suitable place to use magic.”
"That makes sense. I was so excited just now that I forgot about it. Haha~" Werther put the bag on his shoulder with his right hand and touched the back of his head with his left hand, his eyes widening with laughter.
"You are still immersed in the joy just now, you should concentrate more and be careful of danger." Linna advised.
"Well, I know."
The two of them walked towards an open space with few people. Using the same steps as when they came, the two of them officially embarked on the journey back.
After walking for an hour, they arrived at the entrance of the town, which was crowded with people. Vette took Lina and sneaked out from the edge of the well.
"Fortunately, there is a well here, which can protect us from being discovered just now."
At this time, there was a loud noise in their stomachs.
"Lina, are you hungry? Anyway, there are people everywhere within ten kilometers. It's not convenient for me to use magic. Why don't we find a place to eat now."
"That's what I meant, I'm almost fainting from hunger."
"Look ahead, there seem to be many places to eat." Witte pointed to the street in front.
"Let's go take a look." Linna grabbed Werther's sleeve excitedly.
They found a tavern nearby and ordered waffles, omelettes and vegetable soup. After eating, they rested for a while, bought wheat cakes and water bags filled with water, and then started on their way again.
Another night passed, and when the sun rose, they were already there
In Duck City, it is four hundred meters away from Dawn Town.
"Witt." Linna pulled the sleeves of Werther from behind and reminded, "Judging from the map, we have walked another 1,600 kilometers. In order to prevent you from overusing your physical strength, it is better not to use magic. Now my
I still have some physical strength, and it’s cloudy here, so it’s not very lethal to me, so why don’t I take you back and fly back.”
Werther looked back, looked at Lina with his brown eyes, and nodded: "That's fine, but if your body can't hold it, you must rest in time or take a carriage."
"I'll make sure of it." Linna tied the cord of the wide-brimmed hat tightly in front of her neck, and pressed the hat down to block as much sunlight as possible.
Werther stood in front of Lina, and Lina put her arms under Werther's shoulders, transformed her wings, and slowly flew to a position of twenty meters.
"Is this height okay?" She looked down at Werther and asked softly.
"No problem." Werther extended his thumb towards her and closed his right eye with a praising expression.
Lina smiled slightly, then raised her head and looked ahead: "Now we are flying very steadily, I have to speed up~"
"Come on, come on, let the cold and biting air hit my face hard." Werther also looked at the scenery in front and opened his arms.
"Since you said so, I promise you. You have to hold on to the bag and don't let these gold coins fall." Lina smiled evilly and began to speed up, even several times faster than a horse.
.
"Wow, you are going too fast!" Werther shouted in the wind.
"This way we can return to the castle sooner."
After Lina flew for ten minutes, her speed began to slow down significantly: "I'm sorry, Werther, I can't go this fast anymore, otherwise I won't be able to fly."
"That's fine, just use normal speed."
In this way, after Linna flew for a while, she landed on the ground and rested for twelve hours. During the rest, they also ate some wheat cakes and drank some water. Finally, it was dawn after sunset.
town.
At this time, Lina was too tired to fly. She slowly stopped in the open space next to the new farm, let go of Werther, leaned forward, held her head in her hands, and almost fell to the ground.
Werther quickly supported her: "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm so tired~" Lina closed her eyes and said softly, "Witt, there shouldn't be a carriage here. If you're not tired, can you carry me back?"
Werther recalled that Lina ate enough wheat cakes and drank enough water on the way back. It was probably not because she was hungry or thirsty that she felt uncomfortable, but perhaps just because she was too tired.
"You have carried me many times before, but this time it is me who will carry you back. But..." Werther suddenly blushed. This was his first time carrying a woman on his back, and he didn't know how to carry her.
He was busy in front of Lina for a long time. Lina gently touched her temples and bit her lower lip. Her face turned pale and she looked very painful.
"Witt, why don't you carry me? I can't even stand."
"Ah, yes!" Werther's face turned redder and he didn't dare to look at Lina. He hung the bag containing gold coins in front of his clothes, turned around with his eyes closed, and quickly carried Lina on his back.
Werther's brain is very confused now. Will it make her feel uncomfortable if I carry her on my back like this? Should I lean forward a little more to ensure that she doesn't fall? Will she treat me more after this incident?
Admired?
Just thinking about it, I walked to the castle before I knew it.
At the door, Werther was already sweating profusely from exhaustion.
"Come here, come here!" he shouted loudly.
Soon, Tom opened the door and said with a smile: "His Highness is finally back. We have been waiting for you for two days."
However, when he saw their appearance, he ran over in shock, supported Werther, and shouted into the castle: "Cath, come here and help!"
After Kath ran out, she was obviously shocked: "Your Highness, Lina, why do you look so tired? Where did you go this time?"
Tom winked at Kath: "Don't ask about the lord's affairs."
Kath hurriedly covered her mouth and said to Werther: "I forgot, Your Highness, please forgive me."
"It's okay." Werther raised his hand, "Hurry up and help her to the room, she needs to rest now."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Kath helped Lina into the bedroom and put a cup of black tea on the bedside for her.
"Thank you, Kath." Lina said, leaning on the bedside.
"Lina, you have exhausted yourself so much for His Highness, I hope His Highness can understand your feelings." Kath said softly.
"He will understand." Lina lowered her head and smiled softly.
In the hall, Werther took off the bag hanging on his body and handed it to Tom.
"Uncle Tom, help me put these gold coins away. We have enough money to defend the vampires, and I have borrowed soldiers."
Tom took the bag and said with concern: "Your Highness, you have suffered so much in order to borrow troops."
Witte shook his head: "This little pain is nothing. Speeding up the defense against the vampire's attack is the most important thing now."
Tom asked Werther again: "Your Highness, do you want to have dinner now?"
Werther looked up at the clock. It was already past seven o'clock. He nodded to Tom, but he no longer had the strength to speak.
"Your Highness, I will inform Potter and then help you put the gold coins away."
A few minutes later, after Porter brought the dinner to the table, he walked up to Werther and said, "Your Highness, dinner was ready at six o'clock. Fortunately, the food is still fresh now. Go and eat it quickly."
"Uncle Potter, where's Lina's share?"
"I've asked Kath to take Lina's share to her room."
"That's good."
Werther stood up and walked to the dining table and found that today's dinner was also very rich, including meat pie, mashed potatoes, mushroom soup, cabbage salad and biscuits.
"Wow, it looks delicious." Werther said in surprise, and his brown eyes began to shine.
"Your Highness, there is one more thing." Potter said, "Miss Margery asked me to tell you that yesterday and today, she helped me cook everyone's food. She also said that in the next period of time,
Not only does she have to learn to clean, but she also has to help with the cooking."
"She is so enthusiastic now." Werther was surprised for a few seconds, then smiled happily, "But that's okay~ I'm still very happy. Uncle Potter, go ahead and do your work."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After a good meal, Werther felt strong sleepiness coming over him. He held his head and muttered to himself: "I'm really sleepy. I have to go to bed. I'm afraid I won't be able to build a defense tower tonight. It's been delayed.
Two nights, well. Why don't you get up early tomorrow morning and go to work, and you can still use magic for a few hours."
He yawned and went upstairs. After tidying up in the bedroom, he fell on the bed and fell asleep quickly.
