The carriage drove fast on the commercial road. Aviva was sitting in the carriage and chatting with Alicia. Knowing that the elves love this woman very much, she showed her enthusiasm for twelve points. As long as she can act with them, then, leave Torres safely. The probability of a neutral country is very high. The first reason is that the elves are very powerful, and the second reason is that the carriage runs very fast.

As a princess of the desert royal family, no matter how talented she is, she is also spoiled to grow up. As a woman, her weak physical strength determines that she cannot be like her subordinates, sitting on a horse and running for several days. . But with this carriage, all this is no longer a problem.

Although the appearance is unremarkable, the good ride feeling, comfortable interior temperature, and surprising speed all show that the cost of this carriage is amazing. There was just one thing she didn't understand. Only a constant magic circle was carved on the carriage. Such carriages were not uncommon. Some wealthy nobles and royal families have such carriages. However, this carriage obviously has three magic circles in operation. How do they avoid magical extension conflicts on the same material without magical explosions?

It is rumored that the elf has some heritage from the magic kingdom period. Perhaps this elf knows how to inscribe three constant magic circles on the same material. Aviva has more and more thoughts of recruiting this elf into the country. Now they are in the Prairie Kingdom, and many things are very different from the original. Maybe as long as they try their best and sincerity, even the elf may stay. , After all, he can marry a human civilian female, then his racial concept is not that strong.

It's just that the world tree of the elves has been awakened now. With her status and appeal in the elves, the possibility of elves doing things for other races is even slimmer. This is a difficult problem.

Just when Ananda was considering how to recruit Zhang Hao, a pseudo-elf. Zhang Hao was also surprised. At this time, he was almost reaching the next city, Benin City. At this speed, even if there were trackers, they should have been thrown away, but the killing intent he sensed yesterday began to appear again. And it was gradually approaching, which surprised him. At the current speed of the carriage, even the horses of the gods could hardly catch up with them. Unless it is a wizard-level mage, who uses the flying technique desperately regardless of the consumption of mana, it is impossible to have such a speed, unless the opponent does not need to rest.

Is it one person and two horses? Zhang Hao shook his head. This alone is not enough. Even if one person and two horses, it can only achieve the same speed as this carriage. People need to rest, and horses also need to rest. Then, there is only one possibility, and the other party may have it. A shortcut.

Who on earth did you provoke and chase after so persistently? Zhang Hao really didn't understand. He waved the horse rope and drove the horse faster. The desert scimitar warriors who followed, watched the carriage gradually get away from their sight, but desperately couldn't catch up. .

After about an hour, they arrived in Benin City. This is a rich city. With a large population and convenient transportation, gold and mythril are produced in the mountains five kilometers away from the city. The lord here pays annual taxes equivalent to the total income of twenty ordinary territorial nobles. .

There are gold prospectors here every day, once they get rich, and some people fall down overnight, no matter what, this will not hinder the wealth of the noble lords here, and the 50% gold rush fee is enough for him to be able to No worries about food and clothing, until hundreds of years after the depletion of the mineral veins.

Of course, there are many people who plan to smuggle gold. Few people have succeeded, and all those who were found disappeared.

"There are rules in everything. Without rules, there is no guarantee of life." This is the kindly admonition of Zhang Hao and others before entering the city. There are other rules that are different from other cities. They are all written here. You can just pay attention to them."

This paper slip was not issued at sight. The city guards would only issue it when they saw a powerful caravan or mercenary group. It was a kind of warning in disguise.

Zhang Hao held it in his hand and drove the carriage into the city while looking at the parchment in his hand. Said to be the rules. But in fact, it would be better to say that the laws that suppressed gold diggers' trafficking in gold mines and suppressed the violent tendency of mercenaries, especially the laws that suppressed mercenaries, are very strict.

But it is exactly the case that Benin, the golden city, will be so peaceful. Gold is a catalyst for conspiracy, violence, and killing. Without strict laws to monitor it, it is only a matter of time before order collapses.

Zhang Hao’s carriage was relatively fast. They waited at the city gate for nearly ten minutes before they saw a few desert scimitar fighters. They joined together and asked passers-by on the street, and then they moved into the city. Among the luxurious hotels.

After dinner, in order to please Alicia, Aviva took Alicia to go shopping and touring the city, while several of her subordinates, because of the long-distance running, were tired and panicked, they all nestled in the hotel to rest. Zhang Hao naturally You can only act as a flower protector.

Because of the strict laws, the mercenaries in Benin City are very low-key. The whole city seemed very peaceful, and Zhang Hao felt that his own territory seemed to be able to learn from this kind of law specifically aimed at mercenaries.

After all, there was still going on the next day, and the two women did not stay on the street for too long. After returning to the hotel and sleeping separately, Zhang Hao changed back to a human appearance. Alicia shrank in his arms, her mask was taken off, and her long, gentle pink hair gleamed with moving stars in the dark. .

"It's not that two people traveled together. Are you disappointed?" Zhang Hao stroked the long hair of the woman in his arms: "Or, let's be separated from her tomorrow. Taking them with me makes many things inconvenient."

Alicia shook her head: "I'm not disappointed, Ms. Aviva is very knowledgeable and temperamental, she feels like Princess Ratchpel." She bit her lip: "Also, why is it inconvenient? "

"I can't make out with you anymore." Zhang Hao smiled half-truth.

Alicia blushed and got close to Zhang Hao: "It's okay now...just lighter."

At the same time, the old butler of the City Lord's Mansion of Benin was still dealing with various matters in the City Lord's Mansion. The lord has already fallen asleep. He has to decide the style and quantity of meals for the lord tomorrow morning, arrange the obvious itinerary for the lord, social activities with the surrounding little nobles, etc., who to visit first and who to visit later, are very particular. Dealing with these miscellaneous things best reflects whether a housekeeper is competent.

When the housekeeper finished most of the things at hand, it was already late at night. Although he was used to this kind of time, he still felt very tired. He returned to his room and saw a magic letter on the desk. Looking at the signature, it seemed that he was himself. He is tired of his nephew's name. He will have to prepare everything tomorrow before the master wakes up. After thinking about it, he will go to sleep and plan to see it again tomorrow.

When the next day, after he had processed all the affairs of the City Lord's Mansion, it was almost noon, returned to his room, spread out the magic letter, and his gray brows couldn't help but wrinkle. According to the letter, the mercenary leader of the nephew found a female spy from the former desert kingdom, working with an elf, and they seemed to have stolen some of the secrets of the neutral state of Torres. Ready to flee back to the Prairie Kingdom, and may pass by Benin City today.

He pondered for a while, and took the letter to see the city lord.

The city lord of Benin is called Eggbert, a middle-aged nobleman who has just obtained the right to inherit the territory. To defeat the three brothers and get this rushing golden city as his territory, he relied on one word to be cautious. Ten times more cautious than a woman.

"Oh, this thing looks very interesting." Eggbert smiled at the butler: "What do you think of your nephew?"

The old butler is a very dedicated and honest man: "Actually, I don't like my nephew. Although he is a soldier, he has a smooth tongue since he was a soldier, and he speaks more beautifully than a bard. It's very unreliable, and I suspect that this letter is an exaggeration of the facts."

"Oh, in that case, why do you even show it to me?"

The butler smiled: "As the owner of Benin City, you have the right to decide everything."

"This is very good." Egbert clapped his hands gently: "Go and invite my city guard over here. I intend to investigate this matter myself. After all, it involves diplomatic issues and must be handled with caution. "

When Egbert found the hotel where Zhang Hao and others were based on the information, they had already left for nearly two hours.

However, Egbert did not show a discouraged expression. He asked his subordinates to continue the investigation. Finally, he found the guard at the city gate.

Aviva’s face is very beautiful, and Zhang Hao’s elves’ “identity” is very eye-catching. The guards were very impressed with them. Upon investigation, Egbert has confirmed that half of the conditions stated in the magic letter are true. , And the other half still has the right to negotiate.

After thinking for a while, Egbert asked the guards: "You, who has learned to paint, can you paint the appearance of that desert woman."

A group of guards have big eyes and small eyes. Paintings are generally a pastime of nobles. They, civilians, before they entered the city guard. Even if you can't eat enough, the spare money that comes will go to learn painting.

When Egbert was about to be disappointed, a thin young man emerged from the crowd. He looked sloppy, facing his leader, and his expression was very nervous: "Lord Lord...I...can paint. ."

"Oh!" Egbert laughed happily: "Butler, go and buy some paper in the street."

"My lord, no need." The young man waved his hands vigorously: "I can paint on the ground."

The young man inspected a branch next to him, walked on the soft soil on one side, and drew Aviva's appearance in a few strokes, almost like magic. Egbert's eyes lit up. He looked at the cramped young man and asked in surprise: "Looking at your style of painting, it seems to be very sophisticated. Have you learned the art of painting before? Has anyone taught you?"

"No one taught me." The young man smiled honestly: "I grew up like scribbling on the sand with branches."

I see! Very talented young man. Egerber nodded his head: "You stay in the city guard, you are buried in your abilities. Starting today, you will be a full-time painter in my family. Steward, take him back, and by the way, some of the regulations in the lord's mansion Tell him."

"As you wish, Master." The butler bent his body gracefully.

The young man was overjoyed, and the surrounding soldiers looked at him enviously and jealously. From then on, this guy's life was comfortable. A full-time painter does not need to fight, no need to fight, eat, and rain. The monthly salary is also very high, which is more than ten times better than the current life.

Knowing the answer he wanted, Egbert returned to the city lord's mansion and sat in the study. He backed away, opened the secret passage behind the bookshelf, and walked into the basement.

After lighting the magic crystal lamp, he looked around. There were all bookshelves here, filled with books. He stopped in front of a bookshelf, looked for it, took out a book, opened it, and there were sheets on it. The character picture, followed by detailed annotations.

After turning over a dozen pages, his gaze stopped on the head of a desert ethnic woman. He looked at it carefully for a while and sighed softly, "I remember correctly, it is indeed the princess of the original desert kingdom. She came here. What are you doing, is the content of the letter from the housekeeper's nephew really true?"

Returning to the study from the secret path, and moving the bookshelf back to cover the secret path, Egbert sat motionless in his chair. He had been thinking about whether he should believe what the magic letter said. About half an hour later, he sighed: "As a member of the nobleman of the Torres neutral country, no matter what, for the benefit of the country, even if it is false, you have to believe it. Father, this is what you taught me since childhood, if So you broke the family, don't blame me."

He walked out of the study and came to the back of the lord's mansion, where a not-so-high magic tower was hidden in the tall woods. He notified him outside the door ~www.wuxiaspot.com~A certain magic apprentice went upstairs to report, after a while, he came down and respectfully invited him to go up.

An elderly magician received him, and the other party wore a very old but very clean magic robe: "My child, what made you walk into my door. I remember that more than ten years ago, you resented me for destroying. It's your love with that commoner girl."

"Grandfather, those are all things in the past." Egbert smiled awkwardly: "Now I understand your good intentions back then, but I don't have the face to see you."

Although he has a white beard, the energetic old man smiled happily: "So it seems that you are willing to let go of your self-esteem and come to me, it should be a very important thing."

"Yes!" Egbert said what happened: "The desert princess should have at least five Ares-level subordinates, and there is also an elf of unknown strength. Now in the family, the only person who can fight them. , Only grandfather. National interests are higher than family interests, so I hope grandfather can take action."

"National interests are higher than family interests." The old magician smiled more and more happily: "This is our foundation. I am very pleased that you can understand this sentence. Tell me where they are going."
