Chapter 407: Arriving at Carvoho, a knight from afar
"Capture the capital of Alagacia within three days! If the task is completed within three days, each person will receive a reward of 5,000 points, and one B-level branch plot. If the task is not completed within three days, 1,000 points will be deducted every day. If the task is not completed after thirty days, all of them will be erased!"
The galloping white horse immediately, the unique voice of the "Master God" that suddenly sounded in Felicia's ear made her stunned.[]
Why did the mission start so quickly?
Could it be that Zhan Lan sent a mental search, found the protagonist and the dragon egg and started the mission?
But it’s not right. Time doesn’t match. It’s been half a minute since Zhan Lan released his mental power and scanned it. When will the main god’s concept of time go wrong?
If it weren't for this, the one that could have become a special event during this period was that Zhan Lan used his mental power scan without any obstruction.
Mental power! The Dragon Knights seem to be all good at mental power. Could it be that King Gabadorix was found?
According to the introduction in the novel, after stealing the black dragon egg, this guy entered the lost land and learned a lot of dark magic. He probably has a good attitude towards psychological questioning.
"Is there something really an accident? It's not a good thing to be found by that guy..."
After analyzing it, Felicia had already guessed it almost, but she didn't even change her expression at all.
"It's not a big deal. It's not a big deal to have Zhang Jie invasion at a distance, but Zhan Lan seems to be going to be a vase again..."
If a beautiful person with mental power cannot use mental power, it is really useless, especially since this woman is not even good at holding a gun and is not capable of escaping her life...
"Forget it, I'll just take care of myself."
Sighing, Felicia urged the white horse under her crotch to continue moving forward.
The destination is close to you. Compared with the Alagacia map included in the physical book of the Heritage Trilogy, Felicia grabbed the reins in front of the valley called Palenca.
“It’s a nice view…”
The Iguada Falls, which have a drop of more than half a mile, are drawn in the mountains, shining brightly in the early winter sun, and at the bottom is the northernmost end of the valley. Not far from the waterfall is Felisia's destination, Cavoho.
There was a small piece of brown houses gathered there, and white smoke rose from the chimneys, silently fighting against the deserted surrounding it. The scattered farmland was surrounded by yellow-brown wasteland, withering weeds swaying in the wind. The Anora River winded from the waterfall to the southern end of the Palenca Valley, sparkling all the way, like a silver snake flying, flowing in the distance through the village of Trinsford, and a lonely mountain Utga. After that, turn north and flow into the sea.
Except for the nearby village of Trillinsford, Kavoho is the only village in the Palenca Valley. This small village is isolated from the world, with desolate and beautiful scenery, and almost no one has ever been involved except for some merchants and trap hunters. The villages are full of solid log buildings, with low roofs, some covered with thatch and others covered with cobblestones. The chimneys are filled with smoke and the air is filled with the smell of burning wood. These houses have large porches, and people like to gather here to chat and work.
"Iralong... the child chosen by fate, are you ready to welcome me, a messenger?"
With a chuckle, Felicia's white horse spread her hooves and ran towards Kavoho, who was already close to her.
————————————————————————————————————————
Under the rare sunshine in winter, the simple mountain village is now filled with laughter and joy.
There are now merchants' camps, tents and bonfires scattered everywhere in the open space outside the village, and horse-drawn carriages are coming and going. The white snow is decorated with colorful colors, and the four tents of artists in the martial arts world are even more gorgeous and exaggerated. People come and go between the camp and the village, as if they are flowing endlessly.
A series of bright tents and stalls occupied the widest street, with crowds of people, and the noise caused a sound of neighing. The snow on the ground was crushed, slippery and flat like glass, and melted into water when the fire was raised. The air was filled with various smells, and the rich aroma of roasted hazelnuts was wrapped around the nose, which was particularly attractive.
Just when the merchants who were walking this morning arrived, they usually came to the village at the alternating seasons every quarter. The villagers would set up a trade fair to complete the transaction with them, and this time was also a rare and lively moment in this village.
The cold air could not block the enthusiasm of the villagers. Women were buying clothes, and their husbands were studying carefully with a new lock, a hook, or a tool. The children ran up and down, screaming and venting their excitement. Here were knives, there were spices, and various jars were placed next to the leather harness, arranged in shiny rows.
However, the businessmen who came were not very good. The children had nervous expressions after being frightened and patched on their clothes. The haggard men wore knives and swords that were obviously new, and even women had daggers on their waists.
"Seka, what's going on? You're here this year much later than in previous years. Is there anything wrong on the road?"
Carpenter Kalek in the village knocked on the shoulder of a guard in the caravan and whispered to ask about the situation. They were already old acquaintances.
Serka's face looked a little haggard. When he heard Kalek's inquiry, he looked up at the imperial soldiers pushing several merchants in the distance, and then put his mouth to Kalek's ear.
"Our recent journey was terrible. The whole of Alagarcia seemed to be in chaos, and diseases, attacks and misfortunes were lingering. The Walton attacks became more frequent. Gabadorix forced cities to draw more soldiers to the border, and they were originally responsible for fighting against the giants. The beasts moved to the southeast Hadrick Desert, and no one knew why. This had nothing to do with us, but they were going to pass through densely populated places. They were peeping on the avenues and spy on the outside of the city. The worst thing was that there was a ghost who was traveling with them, but it had not been confirmed. It was a life-and-death matter when they encountered them."
"Why have we never heard of it?" Kalek asked in a low voice, with surprise on his face.
"Because," Seka's eyebrows twisted into a ball, and he said with a serious expression, "this is only in recent months. Giants destroyed farmland, and people had to lift villages and wander around in a foreign land to escape famine."
"You're sure you're not joking, man," Kalek said in a low voice, "We've never really seen a giant. I've seen a pair of giants hanging on the wall of Moen's tavern to decorate. The soldiers of the Empire really hate it. They not only charge protection fees, but also often rob our goods. The little girl from the Ryan family was almost ruined by these bastards..."
Seka was a little unhappy, and he raised an eyebrow: "I don't think I need to joke. It's no wonder that your village is hidden deep in the arms of the mountains. It's not surprising that you can fight with the world. But... wait, who is that, a knight?"
Following Sekana's surprised gaze, Kalek turned to look at the entrance of the village.
On the gravel path leading to the village, a handsome white horse was coming slowly with the knight on his back, stepping on the snow, and his coat gently fluttered in the shattered sunlight, like flowing silver.
"God, he is actually a female knight. Looking at her sword, I bet that is worth at least one gold coin!"
Although the knight was wearing a hood, Kalek identified the gender of the person from her tight figure. Behind the female knight was a strong bow that looked very strong, and the feathers of the arrow poked out from the shoulder on the other side. It could be seen that she was carrying the arrow pouch behind her. She was wearing a sword on her waist. Kalek had a good look in his eyes and captured the gems inlaid on the hilt of the sword.
"Strange, why did this rich lady come to this remote village?"
Kalek's face was full of doubt. Kavoho's location was already the northernmost part of the empire, and the Sbyen Mountains were close by. This primitive forest ran through Alagacia, and many mysterious stories and treacherous figures were born in the vast mountains, all of which were hidden in the murderous situation.
Could it be that it was here to take risks?
The thought that came out of Kalek's mind made him breathe a little rapid. For a moment, the terms treasures, gold coins, and magical artifacts continued to pour into his consciousness.
But soon the caravan guard was deflated. Even if he had a treasure, it had nothing to do with him. But if he could learn about the legendary story that was about to appear, then he would have a capital worth bragging about in front of others.
(I need to know the name of the Knight, it would be even better if she could accept me as a minion...)
Thinking of this, Kalek immediately took care of his clothes, squeezed out a smile and greeted the female knight who was riding his horse into the village.
Chapter completed!
