The carcasses of the two horses provided a feast for the three little crows.
They plopped back and forth on the horse excitedly, and while eating, they said to Tom and William, "We will remember you, good intentions will be rewarded."
The smile on Tom's face became even brighter after hearing this.
After Little Wind Crow couldn't finish eating, he deliberately cut the two horse corpses into pieces with an iron sword and buried them in different places.
Tom didn't bury it deeply, for fear that the three little crows wouldn't be able to dig it out.
After he finished burying it, he pointed to those places and said to the three little crows, "I'll bury the meat here. You can eat from here when you are hungry."
Although the three little crows could not understand his words, they could understand his meaning. They nodded smartly and croaked, "Thank you, kind-hearted humans! We know where to find food!"
Tom nodded.
Two old crows looked down from the nest above, motionless, like sculptures, only their eyes moved according to the position of the three little crows.

……….
After dealing with the two spy horses, William and Tom went into battle lightly.
They easily crossed the border between the two countries and entered the Principality of Loria.
As soon as he arrived in the Principality of Loria, the smile on Tom's face never disappeared.
He explained to William, "Lord Zorro, the Principality of Loria was originally a region of the Bucharest Empire, but when the nobles rebelled, the Bucharest Empire split into two kings, and the Principality of Loria also took the opportunity to become independent."
"However, because the three countries all belong to the Bucharest Empire, the languages of these three countries are all connected. Except for some differences in vocabulary, people in the three countries can communicate without any barriers."
William always smiled in response to Tom's enthusiasm and excitement.
Without the horses, the two's progress slowed down. Coupled with the time spent admiring the scenery along the way and stopping while walking, it took the two more than a month to reach the capital of the Principality of Loria.
The capital of the Principality of Loria is called Taranto Castle, which was originally a castle built on the seaside!
The castle of the Kellett family!
Later, Taranto Fort slowly expanded, and many refugees came to settle near Taranto Fort, and then a city was gradually formed.
Later, the Kelit family became independent and established the Duchy of Loria, and Fort Taranto became the capital of the duchy.
Fort Taranto faces the sea on three sides, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. Only one side faces the inland.
The Principality of Loria can survive in the gap between the two kingdoms. This is also because the turtle shell is a bit hard, and both kingdoms are afraid of stubbing their teeth!

……….
William and Tom paid the entry fee and entered Taranto Castle.
When you look at the people walking around, they all have dark and rough skin!
Here, the air carries the salty smell of the sea breeze.
Tom's face suddenly showed a look of intoxication, and he couldn't wait to rush to the beach to see the mystery of the sea.
He did whatever he wanted, and after asking someone for directions, he took William and walked towards the seaside.
When passing a certain place, a group of people stood in front of him, blocking his way.
The group surrounded a man on horseback.
This bronze-skinned, ordinary-looking man shouted loudly, "The princess wants to choose a husband, but the suitor must complete a difficult task. If he fails, he will have to give up his life."
"The princess wants to choose a husband, but the suitor must complete a difficult task. Failure to do so will cost him his life."
"The princess wants to choose a husband, but the suitor must complete a difficult task. Failure to do so will cost him his life."
This man seemed to be tasked with delivering the message. After shouting several times, he stopped and urged the horse to ride elsewhere.
After the man left, the group of bored citizens did not disperse, but started chattering among themselves.
"Has no one passed the test of little Princess Alyssa yet?"
"Yes! How many people have died? Do you think those people don't want their lives?"
"Little Princess Alyssa is so beautiful, of course there are stupid boys who would give up their lives for her!"
"I'm just old. If I were ten years younger, oh, no, even if I was five years old, I would give it a try, so I wouldn't regret it even if I died!"
"Just talk big. Ya Lei, do you have the courage to say it in front of your An Lina?"
"...Isn't I just making an analogy? Don't you have this kind of intention?"
"Of course I didn't!"
"hehe……"
"Even if there is, I can still distinguish between reality and fantasy!"
"hehe……"
The common people argued endlessly, which attracted Tom and William.
Tom pulled over a pedestrian out of curiosity and asked, "Sir, I would like to ask you, what are you discussing?"
The pedestrian glanced at William and Tom with a scrutinizing light, and then said, "Are you all foreigners?"
"Yes. We are from the Kingdom of Bucharest. My name is Tom, and this is Zorro, Lord Zorro!" Tom immediately replied politely with a smile.
"Haha... I knew it! You don't smell like the Principality of Loria at all." The pedestrian curled his lips and said.
However, he did not mean to discriminate, and answered Tom's question, "The pearl of our Principality of Loria, the flying swallow on the sea, little Princess Alyssa, is ready to choose a husband!"
"As long as you pass the princess's test, you can marry the beautiful Princess Alyssa!"
"If you fail, you will be punished!"
"What's the punishment?" Tom asked when the pedestrian didn't say anything.
"Death! Hanging!" the pedestrian paused and replied.
"Death? Hanging?" These two words deeply stimulated Tom and brought back memories of the past that he did not want to recall.
He thought for a while and asked, "Are many people dying for this?"
"Of course! No one has ever passed the princess's test! Naturally, many people died because of it!" The pedestrian sighed.
"Young foreigner, I advise you, don't let beauty blind you, don't go down this road." This pedestrian still had a good heart, and actually persuaded Tom.
"Thank you!" In fact, he didn't need to say it. As soon as he heard the words "hanging", Tom lost his mind completely.
He thanked the passers-by, and then continued to the seaside with William.
William can become Liu Xiahui when facing the naked Snow White, let alone a princess who has never seen her before!
So William also acted calmly.
His current goal is to get the golden apple.
He originally wanted to take the three wind crows with him and raise them, but he was afraid that if he took them away, they would lose the opportunity to grow freely. Maybe they would not know where the golden apple tree was?
Therefore, William decided to go with Tom and follow the plot line of the fairy tale without adding any extraneous details!
