The rumor about the bodies of the thieves didn't spread the next day. Based on the props and the equipment, after confirming that they were killed because they wanted to make a fortune, the innkeeper immediately led a few mercenaries to throw the bodies out of the town, and then made amends to Florence. From what he said, it seems that among the people who came yesterday, there were also people from the inn, that's why he was so careless. But no matter what, in this kind of chaotic place which is bound by self-consciousness and rules, an incident like this would have a great impact on the reputation of the town and the mercenaries. Fortunately Florence did not have the intention of biting this mouth not to let go, but in his slightly suggestive demand for "moral damages", but the innkeeper also generously paid out 50 gold coins to him. The money is broken to avoid disaster ...
"What the hell is wrong with those thieves?"
After saying goodbye to the innkeeper's cordial and even a bit perverse farewell, Florence immediately asked the two. His brain is not bad, since the other party is in the idea of their own carriage, and those thieves are not mercenaries killed, then there are only two possibilities, one of them is Jared and Caroline's hand. And the other guess, because it is too horrible, so Florence can't say it at all. In fact, he was inclined to believe the former, or rather, he "hoped" it was so.
(We found out that the thieves were trying to take advantage of your wagon, so we taught them a lesson. From what we can tell, they seemed to be after your wagon's cargo from the start.)
Caroline explained cautiously and carefully .
（Do you know anything about this, Mr. Florence? Mr. Florence?)
"That's weird ..."
Florence reaches up and scratches the back of her head, frowning.
"Although these gems are relatively expensive, but in addition to the magician will be used, ordinary people even if they buy it can only be made into decorations, so offended by the magician, does not seem like those shrewd thieves will do ah?"
"You know it contains merchandise for the wizards, but they probably don't."
Jared hit the nail on the head.
"Hey ... this is weird ..."
Florence thought carefully for half a day, and finally shook his head, obviously he didn't have any clue. Then, his expression suddenly became serious.
"By the way, gentlemen, did you meet anyone else at that time?"
"The others?"
Jared subconsciously glanced at Kura, who was still snoozing in the corner of the car, clutching a Muppet, and finally shook his head.
"Didn't see it. What happened?"
"So, did you let anyone go?"
(There was a leader, and we let him go after we warned him and his associates against any further attempts on your goods.)
After six years of being partners, Caroline didn't know what Jared was thinking, and hastened to pick up the conversation.
(What's the problem?)
"Hey ..."
At the mention of this, Florence began to look sad again, and he subconsciously glanced cautiously around him, before saying with difficulty.
"As a matter of fact, according to those mercenaries, one of them died from the 'Wandering Soul Sucking Technique'... I'm afraid it's going to be a big problem now."
"Is it really that much trouble?"
Jared asked curiously, out of concern and personal privacy, he did not disclose information about Kura to Florence. For one thing, he thought that Kura had no direct interest in Florence, and for another, the way she was sneaking around, he thought that a mage like her would be feared by others and hide her identity in the world. Perhaps it was because he felt sorry for her that Jared chose to hide the truth.
"Yeah."
Florence is completely oblivious.
"If he can use 'Soul Sucking', then he's a very powerful Undead Chantor. Those who work with dead people and souls all day long are really scary and have weird personalities. I hope it's just a whim, but if he says he wants something in return, he'll be in trouble. If he refuses, I'm afraid he'll kill me. ... As a businessman, I really don't want to do this kind of unequal business. ..."
After talking to Kura last night, the two of them knew that magicians in this world were divided into apprentice magicians, magic envoys, and wizards. Trainee Chanting Envoys, Magic Spirit Envoys, and Chanting Envoys. Chants are the most powerful of the world's magical systems, and although most of them are powerless women who spend almost all their time trying to please the spirits, it doesn't make them any weaker. Since the spirits of magic are closer to them, they will come out to help them when they are attacked. Also, Chanting Ambassadors usually hire their own skilled fighters or other professionals to protect them, so even if they have to perform a long preparation time for chanting magic poems, they will not become weak.
Strictly speaking, it's rare for an aria to travel alone like Kura.
Although they had many questions about this strange girl, both Jared and Caroline chose not to pursue them further. For although Kura had answered their questions about magic, she had hardly ever involved herself in any of them. They didn't know what Kura's past held in store for them, but the truth was, they weren't much better off. If you can't tell them what you want them to do, you can't force them to tell you what they've been through, can you?
The two thought Florence's fears were unwarranted. Moreover, it seemed that she followed some strange rules just like herself. People like this, although their daily actions may seem odd, they have strong principles, and what they say is almost never a problem.
In the next two days, although the people raised their vigilance, it didn't seem like the other side was attacking again. Considering the possibility of the other party adopting the tactics of wolves, Jared was basically in charge of guarding during the day, while Caroline basically focused her energy on the night. Having left the harsh environment of the desert, she didn't need to use her Tectonic Harmonization to adjust her body every day, so it was only natural for her to take over the night guard duty. Jared didn't hesitate to fall asleep when it was time to do so, after all, Caroline was almost inhuman during the Tectonic Harmonization, and with her inexhaustible strength and energy, there was no need to worry about her in that regard.
Finally, early on the morning of the third day, Jared, who was sound asleep, was nudged awake by Caroline.
(We're here.)
Hearing these words, Jared could not help but be energized, he hurriedly rolled up, without looking around, he immediately saw the Glory City in front of him. After all, it is too big to be ignored, even though there is still some distance between the carriage and Glory City, in Jared and Caroline's opinion, the castle in front of them is really exaggerated to the extreme.
In these three days, the two have seen many idyllic towns, but this is the first time that they have seen such a magnificent building with their own eyes.
The towering walls, made of hard stone bricks, stood proudly over the caravans and crowds below, and on the cylindrical pillars flew an inverted triangle of fluttering eagles with gold borders and sky-blue backgrounds. The eagle with its wings up lifted its head proudly, as if nothing on the ground was in its sights, but surprisingly, it was not offensive. The walls were thick and solid, patrolled by soldiers from time to time.
"This is the flag of the actual ruler of Glory City, the Archduke Family of Gunolola."
Noticing the two men's stares, Florence resumed his part-guide presentation.
"He was a great general of one of the leading families of the land, also of the old imperial bloodline. He built what was then a small fortress against sand bandits into something so grand. And since then, this place has become a stopping point for merchants from the north and the south, and for some of them, forever."
Speaking of which, Florence turned around with a proud look on her face.
"In the meantime, this is my home ... Welcome to Glory City, my guests."
The process of entering the city was smooth sailing, the soldiers seemed to be very familiar with Florence, so just a cursory check and then immediately released, and after passing through the gateway as wide as a river, the Glory Castle in front of the two people, but also its vitality and vitality to the limit. Starting from the dazzling castle in the center of the city, there were luxurious buildings everywhere, and even in the commercial and civilian areas, there were many beautiful buildings and houses made of unknown materials. According to Florence's introduction, the price of land here is very high, and the money spent on building houses is even higher, so even if a person works hard for his whole life, it is impossible for him to get a place to live on this piece of land. And after a hundred years of wind and rain, the present Fort Glory has not only been used to deter and prevent those sand pirates, but has also become one of the most important commercial cities on the continent. Here, everything can be seen, everything can be bought, everything can be obtained.
This is Glory City.
