Soul Echo

"...I really don't have to change clothes?"

Although she has changed into a new set of clothes, Lily is still dressed as an adventurer.

Zhong Ye hurriedly took a shower, changed the dirty clothes, and paid the cleaners hired by the Adventurer House to help wash them.

Now, his hair is still not dry. Hearing Lily's question, he shook his head slightly, threw away a few drops of water, "Remember your current 'setting'?"

Zhong Ye said this, and Lily reacted.

"I got permission from my father to leave Paris and take risks with you. You and Lillian are my adventure partners." After speaking, Lily suddenly became worried, "What I said , won't it cause trouble to the father?"

Zhong Ye shook his head and said, "As long as the news from Paris comes, the lord of Chartres will know that you sneaked out, even if he sends the news Send it back, who will believe your one-sided words? And when you ran out before, didn't you leave a note? As long as your father insists that you sneaked out, no one can take advantage of this, you Trust your father, he is a king after all."

After listening, Lily felt relieved.

Caring is messy, and in her mind, if she hadn't automatically exaggerated the 'possible impact' because of worry, she could have thought of it herself.

At this moment, Zhong Ye turned his head and looked towards his student again, "Lilian, have you got all the equipment?"

Lilian seriously nodded, then lowered her head to count again, "Throwing knives, holy water, painkillers, molotov cocktails, kerosene, fire shards, and light crossbows and twelve arrows—all of them!"

Under the thick coat, she also wore A leather armor with gaiters also attached to the lower legs.

"Very well, let's go."

"Wait, wait!" Lily suddenly stopped Zhong Ye, the master and disciple, and looked at them strangely, "You guys Don't you think it's strange? Why do you have to bring so much equipment just to meet the lord? Are you going to meet people? Or are you going to kill people and set fire?"

Zhong Ye and Lillian looked at each other. The same, they all shook their heads.

"Since I came to Xilu, almost every lord I've met has died." Zhong Ye explained seriously, "I didn't kill them, but they themselves had problems. , just because my perception is more sensitive and I can detect their problems."

"As an adventurer, it is also reasonable to carry some weapons and equipment with you!" Lilian added.

No, it's weird to think about it...Although it's common sense that adventurers should carry weapons with them, fully armed at times like this...

Lily Lieber's mouth is slightly open , but didn't know what to say at this time.

"Is there any problem? If not, let's go now, so as not to have too many dreams at night." With that, Zhong Ye tied his hair in the way.

"...Let's go." Lily sighed helplessly, and casually hooked the axe and gun on the side and carried it on her shoulders.

Zhong Ye had already inquired about the location of the lord's mansion. After leaving the adventurer's house, they walked all the way out of the city.

The Lords of Chartres did not have a large residence in the city, their entire family and administration lived in a manor outside the city.

The manor is located on the other side of the river. As long as you exit the city gate, walk towards the river, and stand by the river, you can see the manor of the Combra family.

There is a bridge between the manor and the city, but it is guarded by the Gombra family. Only members of the Gombra family can use it, and the rest can only use the downstream road that has been repaired and repaired. wooden bridges, and they also charge a bridge tax.

——Obviously he was a businessman, but after he became a lord, he quickly cut himself off from his previous identity.

When he was a businessman, the ancestors of the Gombra family must have scolded the lord for always collecting taxes like this, but when he became a lord himself, the tax was even more excessive than other lords.

Time has changed, and the outdated tax 'Bridge Tax' has long been abolished in other territories, but Chartres still remains, and it is no wonder that the city cannot develop.

Zhong Ye their three people crossed the river. The person in charge of tax collection is an adventurer hired by the Gombra family. He is the most typical group of adventurers. He should have been a local hooligan. Seeing Lilian When the two of them couldn't help but talk, they were thrown to the ground by Lillian with her bare hands.

Zhong Ye didn't evade taxes. When the adventurer lay down and cried out in pain, he threw three Copper Coins into his ear.

adventurer grabbed the Copper Coin and shouted loudly: "How come there are only three? My..."

The words were only halfway through, and the rest of the words were stuck in his throat inside.

——Zhong Ye didn't do anything, just looked down at him quietly.

Lily, who was about to swing her axe and spear, saw this scene and couldn't help but sneered, stopped paying attention to the adventurer, and walked away first.

Zhong Ye withdrew his gaze and followed Lily's footsteps with Lilian.

adventurer stood up sullenly, sniffed, and suddenly a cold wind blew, couldn't help shrinking, and yelled at the damn weather.

Finding that Lily looked back towards the adventurer, Zhong Ye reminded coldly: "Don't look at him being pitiful now, when he usually bullies the people, he is so majestic."

Yili Lily mind, it is easy to think of such a thing.

If it wasn't for her and Lilian's strength in battle, if they were just ordinary women, how would they be molested by him.

Looking at the leopard in the tube, it can be seen that since the Lord of Chartres hired this kind of garbage, then he himself should be similar.

After walking for dozens of steps, Zhong Ye and the others came to the outside of the manor.

I don't know if the ancestors of the Gombra family lacked safety. This manor not only built a high wall, but also dug a 'moat' outside the manor, which can only be accessed through a suspension bridge.

A manor like this is not an exaggeration to say that it is a castle.

Fortunately, now that the suspension bridge is down, several farmers are bringing their own animals into the manor.

Lily and Zhong Ye exchanged glances, adjusted their breathing, and led Zhong Ye and Lilian towards a guarded soldier.

"Who are you?"

They walked too straight, and before they could get close, the soldiers who were still talking and laughing suddenly aimed their lances at them.

——Yes, in this era when muskets and gunpowder have been popularized, the soldiers of the Combra family are still using lance.

Lily put the axe down and loudly said: "I'm Lily Lieber, the fourth princess of this country, I have something to call Baron Gombra, please go in and let me know!"

p>

Several soldiers were stunned by her, and then they noticed Zhong Ye and Lilian standing behind Lily. Although they looked like adventurers, their equipment was even more gorgeous than them.

The peasants also stopped and whispered their pointing fingers to Lily.

He had short hair fluttering in the wind, and it looked like it had several points of extraordinary bearing. Say you're Princess? hahaha!"

"What are you looking at? What are you doing?"

The other soldiers turned their heads and looked towards the peasants, yelling at the peasants, but couldn't hide their faces smile on.

Lily's face immediately turned red, and she gnashed her teeth and clenched her axe.

Zhong Ye sighed, holding Lily's shoulders, "...we do have something to look for Gombra Baron, if you don't let us go, we'll call in."

"Trifling a few adventurers, what kind of Princess?" A soldier sneered and made an expulsion gesture in disgust. "There are still things to discuss with the master... Hey, does this pretend to be quite similar?"

The other soldiers laughed in agreement, with sarcasm in their eyes.

Zhong Ye sighed, past Lily Lieber, and walked in front of the soldiers.

"Stop!"

The soldiers shouted and lowered their lances, aiming at Zhong Ye.

Zhong Ye ignored it, and when the soldiers ruthless stabbed out the lance, he spread his arms in a circle and pressed down all the lances.

Lilian jumped out from behind him first, punching a soldier in the face, causing him to fall back, clutching his nose and wailing.

Lily reacted immediately and rushed over with an axe and spear, instead of using this weapon, she knocked down the soldiers with her fists and feet.

The weapons were suppressed by Zhong Ye, but even if they let go of the lance, they couldn't compare to Lilian and the others in terms of punches.

efficiently, all soldiers are knocked to the ground.

They were so smart that they didn't choose to get up. Zhong Ye glanced at them and took the lead to walk into the manor.

Lily was lightly snorted, spun the axe gun, put the handle of the gun on her shoulder, and deliberately stepped over the soldiers, but no one dared to say a word.

Lillian looked left and right, picked up a lance from the ground, and followed Zhong Ye's footsteps.

Not far away, the farmers stopped driving away the animals and looked at the backs of Zhong Ye and the others, both scared and excited.

After Zhong Ye and the others walked into the manor, the soldiers got up with chirps and chirps, and then vented their anger at the peasants, beating and kicking them, berating them constantly.

Hearing the movement outside, Zhong Ye gently took a deep breath, took the still-warm lance in Lilian's hand, turned to face the door, and threw it suddenly!

A soldier who was punching and kicking the peasants and swearing and swearing only heard a humming sound, and his body felt a huge force, and he couldn't help flying forward.

——The end of the lance hit him in the back, pushing his body forward and slamming to the ground.

The other soldiers suddenly stopped, staring at the companion, listening to his wailing and cries, turning their necks stiffly, looking towards the gate of the manor.

Then, he silently retracted his fist and stood aside.

No more beatings, no more beratings, even if the farmers stopped driving the farmed animals into the estate, they didn't say a word.

The peasants did not speak, but clenched their fists, but did not dare to wave at the soldiers.

Both sides were silent for some time...
