At three o'clock in the afternoon, a tightly sealed carriage containing the bodies of a family of four quietly drove out of the back door of the hotel and passed through the South City Gate toward the wilderness.
The troops who were performing military preparations also left in batches, leaving only the boss and two waiters who were confined to a small room in the hotel, huddled in the corner and shivering.
The key to the plan was that no one but Rodney could learn the truth.
Rodney went directly back to the Marshal's Mansion to report. At the same time, a small note written by Chai Anping was also delivered to Sivana's hands.
"Marshal, my subordinates are back."
"I heard there was an accident?" Tiana asked, putting down the official document in her hand.
"There was some small problem. The magic powers of those people's bodies were all the same. I didn't expect that we could briefly communicate with each other to help someone get rid of the blockade of the Forbidden Magic Stone. Some soldiers were not paying attention and allowed them to escape to the downtown area." Rodney bowed.
The body report: "However, there is no major problem. All four mages have been dealt with and the corpses have been transported out of the city."
"Hmm." Tiana didn't ask much about this aspect: "Where's Lux?"
"this……"
Rodney swallowed. The best way to hide this matter was to completely divert Marshal Tiana's attention. This was the only way he knew after becoming her personal guard: "General
The lady was handed over to Inspector Shelley."
"Huh?!" Tiana's expression instantly darkened.
"The Marshal didn't know something..." Rodney said with a wry smile: "Inspector Shelley happened to be investigating the case nearby, and he met the lady, so he rescued her."
"Oh? You knew that it was the mage who saved Lux and you saved them?" Tiana asked with interest.
"Not only that... Inspector Shelley is very thoughtful and guessed that this operation was led by the Marshal's Office, so he reached an agreement with his subordinates without telling the lady."
"It's quite smart." Tiana nodded: "What request did he make?"
"Inspector Shelley said...well, he wanted the Marshal's House to help him take revenge on a person, Earl Julian."
"Revenge? Did he have a problem with that naughty Julian?"
"According to the investigation of his subordinates, Julian once privately threatened Gracie Shelley to become his subordinate, but he disappeared after Sir William came forward to express his appreciation for him. It has not been found out whether there were any other conflicts."
"Promise him." Tiana laughed: "That woman always likes to do things that overestimate her capabilities and make people laugh."
"As a guarantee that he will keep silent, his subordinates have promised him." Rodney agreed.
"Other than that...?" Tiana's smile softened and became a little half-smiling: "Since he is a smart person, he should not just make a joke request."
"Uh... he, he also wanted to take away his subordinate's sword. He said... he was short of a good sword around him." Rodney looked a little embarrassed and said: "It seems that the inspector is quite concerned about the marshal's actions.
Micro words."
"Haha! This is really interesting."
Tiana glanced at Rodney's belt, and sure enough, even the sword and sheath were gone: "Young people should be so sharp. If it weren't for Lux, I would have thought of promoting him."
"He also asked his subordinates to pass a message to the marshal." Rodney was sweating behind his back, and he didn't know how much his marshal believed his words. After all, he was answering based on his own experience, and he would definitely "
Gracie Shelley" molded herself into a type admired by her own marshal.
"What did he say?"
"On this piece of paper." Rodney took out a piece of paper from his arms and presented it respectfully.
Tiana opened the origami:
"Marshal, the war in the north is tense, so you won't need to worry about matters between young people."
"Tsk...Rodney, go to the warehouse and take out my treasured moonlight sword and give it to him. Children are sensible and we can't pretend that we can't see it. I'll just change it for your sword as well."
Tiana stood up and patted Rodney on the shoulder: "Thousands of people on the majestic battlefield will be robbed of their swords and have a bad reputation."
"Thank you, Marshal!" he said excitedly.
"Back off."
"yes!"
"Gracie Shelley is quite a measured person." Tiana stood alone in front of the study window and marveled. She had a very good impression of this young man who broke into her sight.
"Master William actually said something at the meeting and decided to train this boy to be the heir to his laboratory... If that laboratory can form an alliance with my Crown Guard family, my Crown Guard will definitely be stronger."
…
…
Not knowing that Cheap Grandpa had unexpectedly assisted him in an attack, or that the scale in Tiana's heart was tilting subtly, Chai Anping and Lux had already left the city together in the carriage.
Because winter was approaching, the sky became darker earlier. By the time they arrived at their destination, only a red fire cloud and a half-dark sun could be seen on the vast plain.
Lux's mood had eased a lot, and she was more worried about her identity being exposed than sad along the way - after all, she had rescued the family, so even if her aunt was dealing with her, she wouldn't be so sad.
Chai Anping didn't notice Lux's little thoughts, but occasionally held her little hand to show comfort.
Oh, clap your little hands.
The coachman was Rodney's confidant. After bowing respectfully to everyone, he consciously walked into the distance and closed his eyes. He just obeyed the order and brought everyone here. As for the more specific plan, he didn't know anything about it.
.
The two children had been on a bumpy carriage after running away earlier. They were already very sleepy, and their little heads were pounding little by little.
The adults were so ecstatic that they breathed the free air. The man even knelt down and kissed the ground in excitement, with tears streaming down his face.
Lux's eyes were slightly red, and she was looking around a bit at a loss.
Chai Anping looked up at the sky, and soon a black spot appeared on the horizon.
"Coming." He whispered.
Everyone looked in the direction of his gaze.
On the fiery red sky, a black spot gradually grew larger, and then turned into the shape of a giant dragon. Its powerful wings flapped the sky, and it seemed that the hurricane it set off could be felt from a long distance away.
"dragon!"
The older boy pointed his finger at the sky, his eyes a little dull, and he cheered in panic.
A huge dark red shadow swooped over, and the two children screamed and hid in their mother's arms.
"Don't be afraid, this is the coachman who is here to pick you up." Chai Anping smiled slightly: "Have you ever heard of... a dragon carriage?"
Shyvana, who was about to land on the ground, was unceremonious when she heard this and flapped her wings, causing him to do three somersaults in a row.
She landed near the crowd and let out a long and joyful groan. Then the fire appeared on her body and she transformed directly into a human body. Then she looked at Chai Anping lying on the ground with a gray face and laughed loudly:
"(Long, you hammer truck), you asked me for help and you said bad things about me?!"
