Working Prophet.

After the establishment of the Red Lion Empire, Alessandro brought the entire Red Plains into the royal domain. In order to compensate the Coburg family, His Majesty the Emperor allocated a large piece of fertile land to the south for his father-in-law.

At the same time, the Coburg family was allowed to keep the oldest castle in the family, because the ancestors of the Coburg family rested there.

On the horseback, Ilea recalled the history of the empire that she had just made up for some time ago, while looking around curiously.

It has to be said that people living in Hongyuan generally seem to be wealthier than other places, and even farmers wear new clothes.

In addition, recently, His Majesty is catching up with the reopening of the martial arts tournament, and the King's Avenue is full of people who are going to the direction of the Lion Heart Castle like the female lord and the others.

Among them are burly and muscular warriors carrying all kinds of strange weapons, and there are also big businessmen dressed in Chinese costumes and dressed in jewels from head to toe. Every pore reveals the smell of money.

They are often accompanied by beautiful and enchanting dancers.

In addition, there are bards, many of whom are not lacking in minor fame. They were recognized and caused a burst of exclamation. Aristocratic carriages with different flags...

But with the appearance of the female lord, everyone's eyes could not help but focus on her.

There was no way, mainly because the team behind her was too eye-catching.

During this period of time, the King's Road has been full of people coming and going, but no one has seen so many people at once.

The black mass of heads could not be seen at a glance. At least a few thousand people directly blocked the King's Road where four or two carriages could travel side by side.

Moreover, there are all sorts of people in a mess, mercenaries, civilian husbands, nobles... only you can't think of it, and you can't see it. These people who are usually irrelevant are now all gathered together.

Miss Rabbit has been visited by many people along the way, and she is numb now, until a cavalry appeared in front of her, with more than a hundred people, rushing over here.

On their cloaks was embroidered a shield with two crossed blades behind it, which Ilea recognized as the arms of the Royal Knights.

"Whose team is this?"

The leading knight had a pair of brown round ears and a long nose. The female lord looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.

After a while, Ilea remembered that after she learned that she had left Rock Snow City, her stepmother Vanessa had sent a team of mercenaries to look for him. The knight looks a bit like that.

Apparently they were all from the same family.

"I am the head of the Arias family, the daughter of Blood-Eyed Russ, and Ilea from the Green Field." The female lord replied.

"I'm Steve of the Boleslaw family, son of Oak Sword Duncan, and the head of the sixth branch of the Empire's First Knights." The visitor also introduced himself.

After a pause, he continued, "We have received a report that a strange army has appeared on the King's Road. For the safety of Lionheart Castle, we have to ask you to stop here."

"But His Majesty the Emperor wants me to go to the city to participate in the tournament." Miss Rabbit took out the shield.

Steve patiently explained, "Of course you can go to the capital, but you can't bring so many subordinates."

"They are not my subordinates." The female lord shook her head, "Sir Steve, can't you see that most of them are civilians?"

"Civilian?" Steve was taken aback, and he looked behind Ilea. Sure enough, except for a small number of noble guards, the rest were almost all civilians.

"Why are there so many civilians following you?"

"They're not following me, they're following Merlin."

"Merlin, who is that?"

"The prophet of the weekend religion, the spokesperson of Saturday in the world."

"Well, I don't care who he is, let him take these people away quickly."

"Unfortunately he's not here now."

"Then where is he? Didn't you say that these people followed him?"

"Merlin is currently on vacation in the kingdom of God, and his next arrival will be in two days. Moreover," the female lord said, "you can also see that these people are just commoners, and His Majesty has not prohibited commoners from going to the capital, right?"

"This..." Steve thought for a while, "It seems that there is no such decree."

"Then why did you drive them away?"

"Because they all got together."

"As I said before, they are just following Merlin. Merlin has removed the curse on them, or is helping them remove the curse. Even if I drive them away now, they will not leave."

"Indeed, I can testify." Wilder on the side interjected, "I am the Patriarch of the Singleton family, Greymane Wilder of the Horn of Plenty, and the prophet Merlin performed a miracle to save my granddaughter."

"And I."

"I can also testify." Treger and Rogers also echoed, "The power of the prophet Merlin is extremely powerful, which is the only thing I have ever seen in my life."

"You'd better not say such things in front of His Majesty." Steve said, "He doesn't believe in any gods except the goddess of life. But..."

The sub-group leader changed the subject, "Since these people followed Merlin voluntarily, I can't forcibly separate them."

After speaking, he looked at the female lord again, "I just want to give you a suggestion, you can persuade the prophet Merlin to let him take his followers back home."

"why?"

"Because he will definitely not be able to please in the capital, Priest Cornelia will teach him a lesson."

"Merlin will not go back halfway, because I am going to the capital, and he will definitely accompany me."

"I've kindly warned you, if you don't listen, then move on," Steve said, "As long as you don't regret it in the future."

"Thank you for your concern." Ilea said neither humble nor overbearing.

Steve nodded slightly, and then led the people away again.

He came fast, and he went even faster, without being sloppy at all.

And the female lord also led the people to move on.

Until dusk, the team rested on the side of the road. At this time, there were only a little more than two days away from Lion Heart Fort.

Ilea could almost see the towering white walls of the capital. She slept in the tent for one night, and when she opened her eyes the next morning, she felt her neck was a little sore, as if she had been stabbed by something.

The female lord subconsciously reached under the pillow, and finally found something.

It was a wooden sculpture of a nursing woman with a crown of thorns on her head and a red snake wrapped around her breast.

Miss Rabbit was stunned for a few seconds, her expression suddenly changed when she thought of something, and she threw away the wood carving in her hand.
