Alien world

Chapter 325 178. Reunion
"Miss, the convoy is ready."

In the early morning, Blackstone Castle, the elderly maid and Itilia in the wheelchair said.

Trucks covered with raincloths are neatly lined up outside the city gate, and the same ox carts and horse carts are parked in the distant town.

"Are we really leaving..."

The old maid looked at the standing black castle reluctantly.She had been in the castle as long as she could remember, her mother had been, and her mother's mother had been.

This is the family land of the Reeves family, and it is also their home...

"The Ratman is coming. Let's take refuge in Annan's fief and help him."

Itilia stretched out her hand and asked the maid to carry her into the carriage.The silent convoy drove towards the town, and then led the long convoy that stretched hundreds of meters to the west.

Castles and small towns in the distance become smaller and smaller until they disappear.Teams forced to live far from home became depressed.Except for a few teenagers who were about the same age as Annan gathered together and whispered excitedly.

It can be predicted that this road will not be peaceful... The loss of contact with the gods at the beginning of the year caused a lot of churches to be beaten to death, and then there was news of the rat plague. Not long ago, even the northern border was in danger.Bandits, mercenary groups...they will not let this slow, long formation, civilians make up the majority of the convoy.

The carriage with the snowflake emblem of the Twelve Northern Kings was driving steadily in the front row of the convoy.

"Are you still there?"

Itilia was sitting in the carriage, her hands were folded together, her pale and slender legs under the white skirt were folded together, her head was slightly lowered, like a pious saint.

"What do you want to say."

A murmur that only Itilia could hear echoed in the carriage.

"If Annan wants to annex the Reeves family, please stop him."

"Our contract is coming to an end."

"So only before the end of the contract. Thank you for your willingness to leave the habitat of the fire dragon..."

"Because our contract is coming to an end."

The voice repeated itself.

Itilia stopped talking, and her quiet and weak body occasionally swayed with the carriage, as if this kind of boredom occupied most of her life.

"Why don't you learn from the Baros family in the royal capital?"

That voice broke the silence.

As the holder of the Guardian Key, the Fire Dragon will also see the letter Itilia received, so he knows the situation of Faro Barus in the capital.

"My ancestors hoped that the family's honor would continue, but if it became a plaything of the nobles, I think the ancestors would rather cut off the bloodline."

"Jonah Reeves would really think so." Fire Dragon's whisper was tinged with nostalgia due to the long memory.

The carriage returned to silence.

After two days of driving without incident, an accident happened on the evening of the third day, about 50 miles after driving out of the territory of Osulonde.

First, the rangers found vague traces on both sides of the road, and then the guards in front found that the road was blocked by mounds of dirt.

The sound of the distant horn echoed in the forest, the winding convoy stopped, and the guards surrounded Etilia's carriage.

"Go and protect the townspeople, don't worry about me." Itilia opened the curtain and ordered, and then said to the young housekeeper, "Tell them our identities."

The guards dispersed, and the steward shouted repeatedly to the dark and silent forest: "We are the family and subjects of Annan Reeves, the king of the North. No matter who you are, please leave here!"

When the steward was about to shout, the guards rushed over and said that the figure in the forest had receded and the road was clear again.

The false alarm convoy continued to move forward, but the guards clenched their weapons tightly, and the townspeople sitting on the carts only spoke in a low voice.

"It seems that the kid has a good reputation." Huolong whispered.

Itilia agrees: "Annan has the best chance of bringing the family back to the top..."

"But he is not of your clan."

Itilia lowered her head, her pale complexion exuded a hazy halo under the magic lamp.

"As long as he has a family heir..."

The migration team of more than 5000 people couldn't get up quickly, and they arrived at a neighboring town on the fifth day to resupply.Maintaining the current speed, they should arrive at Xingyue Bay after entering the harsh winter and before the arrival of the Ratmen.

It turned out that just starting from town, there were some tails in the back of the line.

They are homeless refugees and hope the team will take them.

"Our convoy is full of people." The steward told them of Itilia's decision.But they continued to follow the slow convoy.

Itilia didn't take in or expel them, so they could follow if they wanted to.As a result, more and more refugees followed the convoy.The cold winter and the plague of rats left them no choice.

On the seventh day, in the early morning, the distant horn sounded again.

"alert!"

The guards erected their weapons, and the refugees behind the line also fell into chaos, because a white dragon approached from the sky, and a figure sat faintly on the dragon's back.

The white dragon circled the convoy several times, as if it had found its target, it began to dive.

"Put away your weapons." Itilia gave the order, watching the white dragon land in the forest clearing in surprise, and a familiar figure jumped off the dragon's back.

"Miss!"

Layla passed the guards unhindered and buried herself in Etilia's arms.

"Why did you come here?" Itilia gently stroked Laila's head.

"My little brother said that you are too slow, and he will pick us up in a while."

Itilia looked at the white dragon: "Use the white dragon?"

"You'll know in a while!"

Leila talked about her longing, and told her eldest sister about her experience in Xingyue Bay in the past few months.

Itilia reluctantly asked the guards to tell the team to take a break and pay attention to returning to Laila.

"...the fish I caught were... the size of this horse!" Laila said, pointing to the strong brown horse.

"It seems that my little brother is bragging to me." Itilia smiled slightly, "He said that the fish you caught was as big as a white dragon."

"Well... yes, yes! I haven't finished yet! As soon as I caught it, another fish jumped out. It turned out to be its mother, and that fish was as big as a white dragon—"

"What's the matter with those people?" Laila found that there was a pile of dirty refugees behind the team.

"The ones gathered on the road, they want me to take them."

"Bring them, people are needed everywhere in Xingyue Bay!" Laila pouted, "You don't know that Ananduo is horrible, I have to work for twelve hours a day, you see I'm tanned..."

"How do you feel about Annan now?"

"What's the matter..." Leila suddenly became quiet, and muttered, "He doesn't care about me at all..."

"You are the elder sister, he is the younger brother, why should you let him control you?"

"Yes..."

At noon, the portal appeared in front of Bailong on time.

Itilia stared blankly at the boy in the mage's robe standing at the other end of the portal.Fog emerged from her eyes, and the boy in front of her eyes gradually overlapped with her younger brother.
