Shadow Covenant

Chapter 205 "Guards"

The dark light of the morning light penetrated through the cracks of the carriage, and as the luxury carriage stopped, after the magic was released, there were bustling sounds outside the carriage. Judging from the hustle and bustle of the local dialect, it was obvious that the local residents had already They found Cecil's luxurious carriage and surrounded him at the same time.

Tesia's timid voice came from outside the built-in car.

"Your Highness Cecil, Your Excellency Woody."

"Are you there? Little Tessia."

Cecil got up, and Woody also got up, and opened the partition of the car together, and saw the cloaked girl who was getting dressed, just like when she saw her, and she was holding Cecil tightly in her hand. The holy water potion given to her earlier.

"Here...here, Your Highness."

There was a little anxiety and excitement in her words, and then she spoke in a worried tone.

"I just saw a small group of city guards outside the carriage through the gap. Your Highness Cecil, can you communicate with them? I gave the potion to my mother, and I will go with them. I am afraid that I will be arrested as soon as I go out. Mother can't..."

In the final analysis, she is just a little girl in her early 12s. Although her mother's illness and frail body have become the catalyst for her maturity, it does not affect her lack of the most basic opinions in the face of major events.

Seeing that the little girl is so sensible, even if Cecil was born in the cold Northland since he was a child, he couldn't do what the family said, to treat any uncertain things as cold as the cold wind.

She sighed leisurely.

"It doesn't have to be, Tesia."

"You should go out with your chest straight, no one dares to grab you, they will all envy you."

As he spoke, Cecil put his hands on the shoulders of the little girl in the cloak. The moment he touched her, Cecil felt the stiffness of the little girl's body. She knew it was nervous, and she stroked it softly. Slightly messy hair, in the eyes of most people in the caravan, the face of the indifferent and majestic court mage girl was softer.

"Envy me?"

Tesia looked puzzled, as if she had never thought that the word "envy" could be applied to herself. Usually, those little friends envied those rich young masters who came to Huangshi Town every day. They had carriages and maids to follow. But she doesn't envy her. It is enough for her to have a mother. Like the maids who follow the rich young masters, they are definitely not as good as her mother.

"Yes, I envy you."

Cecil spoke convincingly, with an encouraging look on his face, as if to say, go, let everyone know that you are here!

Tesia listened to the increasingly dusty noise outside, and could vaguely hear the metal rubbing sound of the guard's armor in the sound.

They are approaching.

Tesia's fear suddenly rose, but for some reason, when she raised her head and looked at the beautiful girl standing in front of her, with her slender white hands on her shoulders encouraging her, and leaning against the wall, The black-haired young man with her head up, with a faint smile on her mouth, the confidence that had disappeared in her heart returned.

Although it was weak, it was enough for her to have the urge to lift the curtain of the carriage, to let those who were familiar with her and those she was afraid of take a look.

She is no longer alone.

She has such a trusting and humble companion who is like a big brother and a big sister.

"Okay, I'm going out now!"

A rare determination appeared on Tesia's face, and he nodded heavily to both Woody and Cecil, then turned and left under the gaze of the two.

At this moment, the cat in the form of the bronze dragon Doni jumped out from an unknown corner of the carriage, and opened the curtains with Tesia.

Woody and Cecil were not far behind, it was almost as if Tecia had just lifted the curtain, and he and Cecil were only a few steps away from Tecia.

And this distance can also be received, when Tesia stood outside the carriage, the first wave of surprise broke out in the view of the audience.

"Little Tecia?"

"How could it be Tecia?"

"This carriage is not cheap, it is much more stylish than the Viscount's."

"She still dares to come back? The lord is looking for her, hee hee, don't say it, this is a good show."

……

Outside the carriage, the guards who were approaching cautiously were also taken aback at the same time. They were the guards who were assigned to station here. Fife, who was a coke in Sinochem, was appointed to garrison here, and he was going to sit on the sidelines.

This was just an idle move, and the guards themselves didn't expect to meet Tesia here, but after comparing the features of the face explained by the knight commander Fife in their memories, they were slightly stunned at first, and then ecstatic.

what is this?This is a gift from the gods!
But joy still didn't dazzle them, because they all subconsciously thought of another possibility, could this be the situation that they had already been caught, and the people in the carriage were the guards responsible for escorting her this time.

If this is the case, however, another problem arises.

So what about the guards who left River Valley City together?Even if there is something to be done, it is impossible to have such a lonely carriage.

The more doubts emerge with the more thinking.

The more the guards smiled.

They have both mentally rejected that impossible situation at the same time, that is.

They sent nearly a hundred guards, and even the criminals who couldn't be found when they sent out the three knight commanders together, and finally let them be caught as outcasts and stay in Huangshi town?
Now the guards were all excited, and their eyes showed wolf-like eyes for a while.

As the guards of the new generation of River Valley City, they have never encountered foreign adventurers and merchants. Other than the lord, whether it is a rich businessman or a gentry in the city, just like the captain of the militia in this town, they may usually We need to respect each other, but when they are actually performing tasks under the orders of the lord, they can not give anyone face.

In other words, when they determined that the carriage did not belong to the guards who were chasing Tesia out, the desire for possession in their hearts had already reached its peak.

They have already figured it out, if the owner of the carriage knows the current affairs, they can take him away and not pursue it, and even say a few nice words in front of the knight commander, but if they don't, then...

hum.

"Tesia, you dare to come back? You sinner! Who made you stand so high and look down on us!"

Among them, the head of the guards has already begun to try to learn the reprimands from the nobles in his memory, and he is trying to brew his most majestic voice.

When he spoke, it was indeed a sensation. All the onlookers fell silent for a while, and they didn't dare to breathe. They all stared at the guards who walked out of the crowd and the guards who were surrounded at the entrance of the town. carriage.

"I'm not a sinner! And why can't I come back?"

"I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable by standing on a high place, I'm coming down now."

Regarding the former, Tesia first refuted, and then did not hide his calmness and calmness at all, and asked back. As for the latter, he showed a little apology, as if he really thought that he stood on a high ground and made others feel uncomfortable.

"You disobeyed the lord's order! Leave the valley secretly! Let countless people find you! What are you if you are not a sinner?"

The captain of the guard spoke uprightly, and at the same time made a show of color to the fellow guards around him.

"But I've said I'm leaving the valley to find a cure for my mother, and you haven't said . . . & oh, what are you doing?"

As Secia spoke, she keenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing from underneath her, and suddenly found that there was an armed guard behind her at some point, and he was half lying on the shaft of the carriage, If you want to go up and grab Tesia directly, you want to drag her down directly, but fortunately Tesia is agile and dodges this sneak attack from behind.

"hateful!"

Realizing that he failed to catch him immediately, the guard cursed, obviously feeling ashamed in the eyes of his colleagues, especially the captain.

After all, Tesia was just a 12-year-old girl, and he was an adult, so he suddenly became angry, and using force with his hands, he turned over and stood on the shaft of the car about one meter above the ground.

"Hide? I'll let you..."

Before the sneak attacking guard could finish his sentence with a ferocious face, he felt a huge force coming from his waist, before he had time to stand still, he fell down again with a plop.

Suddenly he fell down like a dog gnawing grass, the half-hidden helmet fell sideways, he was dazed, staring at the stars, the original eight legs of the horse abruptly made him look like a two-headed eight-legged or even a sixteen-legged war horse.

This sudden attack obviously caught everyone present a little off guard, and the captain of the guard was also shocked, but he immediately pulled out the knight's long sword at his waist, and said loudly to the two figures emerging from the curtain in the carriage.

"Listen, people inside. I am Jim, the captain of the third team of River Valley City. You are attacking the guards of River Valley City. You have seriously violated Article [-] of the Law of the Golden River Valley. Attack the law enforcement team! Come out and surrender immediately, or I will I have the right to kill you right here, Viscount Korn's majesty cannot be offended!"

While speaking, the guards who had gathered together dispersed immediately, and some guards already wanted to go forward and pull the reins of the carriage to prevent the horses from being frightened and rushing out.

But before it got close, it was thrown away by an equally swift force. This time, everyone saw that the guards were flying out of thin air.

"wizard!"

"magic!"

"Witch!"

……

When Cecil's face appeared in front of everyone, no matter how hard the residents of Huangshi Town who were watching could restrain their desire to speak, at this moment, they could no longer hold back, and some screamed in shock. Phew, there was a lot of fear, and some were pure panic. The densely packed team immediately dispersed, and the closest team to Cecil's carriage was only the team of guards who remained in place.

Since the birth of the curse, Huangshi Town or the entire Golden River Valley has always had a malicious attitude towards spellcasters. Except for the priests of the gods, most people cast spells in public, and they also launch attacks on challengers who maintain order. Attack, very reminiscent of a wicked witch.

All of a sudden, the entrance of this small town was half empty, and a large group of people hid in the adjacent houses. Under the windows, only a forehead and a pair of eyes were exposed, watching the movement of the carriage.

The guard leader was also stunned for a moment.

caster?
He has never encountered it before!
How could he be the first to meet such a big character who only existed in tavern stories, and an evil wizard who coaxed children to sleep.

He was extremely remorseful now, so why not send someone to inform them that they will wait quietly here for the knight commander and the others to come back, and then say, with his own number of people, can he really defeat an evil mage who can overthrow several people with just a few gestures?Not to mention that there is always a black-haired guard with a pair of golden pupils who is not tall but looks very capable standing beside her.

Although he doesn't understand spellcasters, as the captain of the guard, he still has a lot of eyesight for melee occupations. Although the black-haired young man in front of him is young and his face still has some traces of immaturity, no matter the outline between the corners of his eyebrows His coldness, or that sharp and divine gaze, made him subconsciously communicate with the knight commanders he knew... No!Even the knight commander couldn't give him this feeling, only the adult in the city who he saw in the viscount's mansion by chance had the feeling.

This is the aura of the strong.

The guy who can't be messed with.

Thus, the captain of the guard simply surrendered.

"Sorry! Sorry, we got the wrong person! We're leaving now."

He hurriedly found a way out of the embarrassing situation present, but what he didn't expect was that the little girl in the gray cloak who had been quietly watching the development of the situation directly exposed the false lie.

"You are not mistaken, I am Tesia."

Damn!

The captain of the guard cursed secretly in his heart, but he still thought of how to deal with the threat of life and death and the wailing of his companions, he said hastily.

"That's because the knight commander made a mistake. The person he told me to wait here is not Tesia, but Gesia."

His voice was soft, as if he was afraid that if he was more severe, he would meet the little girl's rebuttal, but he still couldn't escape Tesia's sharp criticism.

"But there is no one named Gecia in the village, unless what you are looking for is the dog in the mine in the town, its name is Gecia."

enough!

The captain of the guard wanted to grab the little girl's neck, but he couldn't, so he could only bite the bullet and say loudly.

"Ah, it turned out to be Houshan! Thank you so much! Ma'am!"

"But……"

"Thank you!" Before Tesia could say it, the captain of the guard seized the opportunity and covered it with a higher voice, and before she could react, he said to the guard behind him.

"Have you heard, there is news about Gecia in the back mountain, let's go and catch him!"

"Also, thank you to this kind lady! Without her, how long would we have to wait here?" He did not forget to point to Tesia who was standing on the shaft with a dumbfounded expression on his face.

With the thanks that could resound through the town, the guards receded like a tide.

Only one luxurious carriage was left, quietly parked at the gate of the town.

Cecil patted Tesia, who watched the guards leave with complicated eyes.

"Feel it? This is the smell of power."

"Come on, go see your mother, my little girl."

Woody spoke at the right time.

"I won't go, I'll take a look around this small town."

If he remembered correctly, Huangshi Town seemed to have a hidden mission about Feathered Serpent God in his last life, and he just happened to be going to Jingsong Forest, so he did it along the way.

Rewards.

Do not take white do not take.

Moreover, he also needs a helper. The veteran scout and sharpshooter who once took an arrow in the knee and retired to the countryside is obviously very suitable for his current team configuration.
