Soul Echo

It takes three days to travel from Aspalatos to Venice, because the guide is connecting them with a merchant ship, and the cargo needs to be loaded and unloaded on the way, otherwise, it will not even take a day .

The ships of this era cannot sail at night, and even in the endless sea, the ship may hit the rocks.

——At night, it is impossible to see through the sea and see what is hidden below.

The two-masted sailboat floated quietly on the sea, and there was no land in all directions. The youngsters who went out to sea for the first time could not sleep for a long time because of their injuries, so they squeezed into the only two portholes in the cabin. On the side, there was a casual chat, trying to suppress the pain.

But they don't know, the more they do, the more mental they are, and the pain will become clearer.

The more experienced guards didn't move or speak, leaning against the board, trying to get themselves to sleep.

Words alone can't make those youngsters understand and learn a lesson, let them experience it for themselves, and then they will understand why the elders ask them to do these things.

"Mr. West, I have something to ask."

The voice came from the side, and the guard leader opened his eyes and looked towards his side.

Of course, in this darkness, he couldn't see anything, but he could hear it, it was Zhong Ye's voice.

Everyone in their team is crowded into one cabin, which is also to protect the eldest son and the youngest son.

"Anything, just ask." The guard leader also whispered.

The eldest son was sleeping beside him. In order not to wake him up, the guard leader kept his voice as low as possible.

"Did all the descendants of the Archduke of Milan die because of accidents? After they died, who would be the beneficiaries?"

Hearing this question, the guard leader was stunned for a moment. Stunned, his mouth opened slightly.

What does Zhong Ye want to do? Why did he suddenly ask such a question, didn't he always care about these things before?

The guard leader vaguely felt something was wrong, but he didn't realize what was wrong. Maybe Zhong Ye was just curious about it after going through those things.

"...I dare not say that all the descendants of the Grand Duke died unexpectedly." The guard leader called the head, "Although the external publicity and investigation results were all accidents, but...I don't think it will happen. There is such a coincidence. The archduke has no brother sister, and if he is extinct, the beneficiary should be his distant relative, or his wife's nephew..."

The guard leader mentioned several names-he He doesn't know much about these things. He is just a weak guard. Maybe he can hear some things from gossip, but most of those things are far-fetched.

After listening, Zhong Ye said 'thank you', then closed his mouth and stopped talking.

The night was silent, and the guard leader felt the slightest cold, took out a cloth from his backpack, put it on the eldest son and the youngest son, then closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

After seeing the power of Zhong Ye, he can finally relax and let himself get a good rest.

Zhong Ye is not only powerful, but also honest and keeping promises. The guard leader is willing to completely trust this adventurer.

Among all the choices he made in his life, the one he was most proud of was probably the hiring of Zhong Ye.

…………

The three-day sea journey was boring, even if they could go on deck, it was still boring.

After watching the sea for three days, they finally arrived in Venice at noon.

This city built on water naturally carries a romantic atmosphere, which makes many artists like to visit this city and create works based on it.

In addition, this is a city with an aristocratic republic, and it is an excellent place to settle for artists who do not like to be pinned down by the aristocracy. Over time, Venice has become the kingdom of Etruscan and the whole The 'Art City' of the West Land.

The merchant ship was docked, and Zhong Ye and his team took the carriage and walked off the ship. People were all carrying large and small bags, because the team only rented three cabins of the merchant ship, one with Come to rest, the remaining two are used to prevent carriage and the horses, even so, can't hold all their stuff.

Therefore, the team can only give up part of the carriages and objects, and then squeeze the remaining things into the cabin.

The captain of the merchant ship stood at the side of the boat and waved to them enthusiastically. He only made a profit this time. If he could, he certainly hoped to make another profit, but he didn't know these people. Will there ever be another return to Aspalatos from Venice.

Venice is known as the 'city on water', and transportation often relies on boats, but it is not without land routes. In fact, there are quite a lot of land routes in this coastal city.

After all, the people in the city also need to make money. The land road can pass vehicles and horses, and the transportation volume is also larger. There is no need for Venice to struggle with money and people's livelihood for the title of 'water city'——' 'Water City' can be a feature, but not all.

Venice is probably the end point of their trip. The task of the escort leader is to escort the eldest son to the city, and the task after that may not have much to do with them.

The destination of the team is in the city, a little far from the port, and it takes about half a city to pass through.

But it may be because the mission is about to end, everyone is in a relaxed mood, sitting on the rickety carriage, or following along, strolling leisurely in this multi- colored , a city full of fantasy colors.

Artists are showing off their talents in the city. The walls of the streets and alleys are painted with paintings and poems, and the buildings are myriad. Every house seems to be filled with the wonders of the artists. Great idea.

Don't say it's a youngster, even the mature and experienced guards have never seen such a wonderful city scenery, and can't help but keep their eyes open.

Lillian couldn't help looking left and right, and the camera pan followed her gaze.

This is not the case in Venice in reality. The Venetians in the live broadcast room are also shouting.

Since the sea level rose and the sea wall was built, many ancient buildings in Venice had to be demolished to prevent damage to the city when they collapsed. People can only see the long-famous Venice from the past video materials. What is it like.

Venice players learned the lessons of Aspalatos players and didn't go to watch Zhong Ye as soon as he came to Venice.

Anyway, they all know that Venice is the end of Zhong Ye's mission. After the mission, he will definitely rest in Venice for a while, and when the time comes, he can pretend to meet by chance.

The team passed through a small half of the city and came to the door of a mansion. The guard leader handed a seal to the concierge. It didn't take long for the mansion door to be opened and the team walked in.

Finally, finally...

The leader of the guards was refreshed, turned around and sorted out the appearance for the eldest son and the youngest son, and then led the team into the mansion.

This mansion is the property of the Grand Duke of Milan in Venice, and it is now handed over to a steward, who is also the linker of the guard leader.

The guard leader asked the team to rest first, and he hesitated when looking towards Zhong Ye.

Thinking for a moment, the guard leader clenched the teeth and made a decision: "...Your Excellency Zhong Ye, please come with me too!"

Although he knew there was little hope, but He still wanted to introduce Zhong Ye to the Grand Duke - Zhong Ye's strength was enough for him to do this kind of arrogance.

The leader of the guard took the eldest son and Zhong Ye to the small reception room under the guidance of a servant.

There was no one in the reception room, and they waited for a moment, the steward who was taking care of his property in Venice for the Grand Duke of Milan arrived slowly.

"El West?"

The well-dressed steward frowned and looked at the three 'sloppy people' standing in front of him.

"It's me, Steward Oren!" The leader of the guards walked over excitedly, holding the hand of the eldest son, and gently pushed the boy in front of him, "I have completed the task and brought Lord Tim with him. Arrived in Venice! Now..."

"Yes, you have done your job." Steward nodded."

“…what?”
