"Line up at the back!"
"Pay attention to order!"
"It's from the front! Get out of here after the investigation is over!"
"Catch me later!"
"Over there, wait there!"
"you!"
"Open the boxes and carriages!"
"Stop talking nonsense and open it!"
"quick!"
On both sides of a bridge that leads to the ruins of the capital city of the Kingdom of Gubaldia, a group of Imperial soldiers wearing green armor are standing guard at both ends of this wooden and iron cliff bridge. , and severely interrogated the business travelers who were queuing up to pass.
They did not let go of any wooden box, barrel or carriage. Even the hooded travelers were severely scolded by the soldiers and had to reveal their slightly nervous and uneasy expressions. Come on.
"Hello!"
"Sir!"
"Why do the superiors insist on us intercepting the two people in the portrait?"
Looking at the business travelers passing by smoothly, a small leader of the empire impatiently pointed to the two portraits posted on the wooden board beside him and asked.
The portraits were of a man and a woman, both of whom looked very young. Moreover, they were painted with magic and were very lifelike, just like real people.
The man is a handsome orange-haired guy, and the woman is a heroic fair-skinned beauty with short light blue hair. Both of them are wearing some kind of weird but similar silver headgear. Hair accessories.
"Tell me?"
"What big thing did they commit?"
If he was blocking the road to collect money, it goes without saying that the imperial officer would definitely be 100% happy and would have no problem with it.
However, the superiors refused to accept the money, and did not tell them what it was about. They also asked them to painstakingly interrogate everyone who passed by. They also stated that they would not miss anyone, and pointed out that the two people in the painting would never be allowed to He passed easily, which made him a little confused.
"I have no idea!"
"However, I heard that they are related to the identity of their glorious descendant. Anyway, we can't let the two of them pass!"
"Just go and get it done!"
The commander of the imperial army who was questioned did not hesitate and answered decisively.
"ah?"
"Descendant of Radiance?"
"But what happened to the Descendants of Radiance? Why do we need to investigate them?"
"I remember……"
"The Leon Legion Commander of our Blue Dragon Knights is also a descendant of Glory, right?"
After being stunned for a moment, the little leader of the Imperial Army began to pursue the question with some curiosity and confusion.
"..."
"Go on your errands quickly!"
"Look! The queue is still so long, we are quite busy today!"
"so!"
"You continue to interrogate at the front, and I will lead people to investigate from the back of the team. This may be faster."
As he said that, the somewhat impatient Imperial Army commander suddenly stopped talking, directly picked up the two portraits and strode back with his men.
"Tsk!"
"Check the Descendants of Glory?"
"This is really rare..."
He shook his head. Although he didn't understand, the little leader of the Imperial Army didn't dare to ask any more questions. He just muttered a few words to himself and then continued to lead people to investigate at the bridge.
…
"??"
|?˙?˙)
"Uncle Matthew, why did the carriage suddenly slow down?"
゛('◇')?
At this time, at the end of the group of business travelers passing the bridge, Anne opened the window in the front of the carriage and stuck out her cute little head to ask Matthew who was driving the vehicle in front.
"I do not know……"
"ah!"
"Look! Grenier is back, you'd better ask him."
Matthew was about to say he didn't know, but when he saw his companion Grenier walking back to the front to inquire about information, he hurriedly asked the other party the difficult question.
"Uncle Grenier, what happened?"
(゜-゜)
"Why did you stop? Is there a traffic accident ahead?"
(?_?)ヾ
Annie continued to ask like a curious baby.
"Traffic accident?"
"Hi!"
"It's nothing. I can't walk more than a dozen steps for a long time. What kind of accident could happen?"
"Is such that……"
"My Lord Archmage, there are imperial troops setting up a blockade in front of us. We have no choice but to line up slowly."
Grenier stopped beside the carriage and whined.
"ah?"
⊙(?◇?)?
"Set up a card? Do you need to collect tolls?"
∑(′△｀)? !
Collecting bridge tolls after building bridges, collecting tolls after building roads, etc. Annie has seen a lot of such bad things, but she never thought that there are such bad guys in this world who can make a small amount of money.
"Well……"
"It doesn't seem to be the case. It seems that you are looking for someone?"
Grenier scratched his head uncertainly and said.
"Find someone?"
(???.???)????
"Who are you looking for?"
|???ω??)??
Anne asked again.
"have no idea!"
"That must be the prisoner!"
"Anyway, I took a look, and the picture on the wanted notice was a man and a woman. They also had strange hair accessories on their heads. Anyway, they are not people I recognize."
Grenier thought about what he had just seen and said firmly.
"never mind!"
"No matter, let them check it out. It will be a waste of time at most. Just treat it as a rest in advance."
"Matthew, drive slowly. There are many people on the bridge, so don't go over the cliff!"
With that said, Grenier jumped onto the shaft of the carriage, then lay down with his arms as pillow, and began to leisurely close his eyes and rest.
After all, their carriage was at the very end, and it would be quite some time before it was their turn.
"do not worry!"
"I don't want to die yet!"
"Sleep on your bed!"
After glancing at Grenier who was sleeping on the carriage shaft, Matthew continued to drive the carriage attentively, letting the vehicle slowly follow the flow of people in front. The carriage moved forward like a snail on the wooden bridge built on the cliff. With.
"So you're not blocking the road to collect money?"
(*ˉ?ˉ*;)
"All right!"
ε=(′ο｀*)))Alas
Bang!
After saying that, Anne retracted her head and slammed the carriage window.
As long as they don't charge tolls and bridge tolls, she doesn't care about finding someone or anything! After all, Queen Anne seems to have no serious issues with the weird uncles of the Imperial Army, and she is not afraid of them coming to trouble her.
Besides, she's not afraid of trouble if it really comes to her, and she won't be timid!
"Annie, what's wrong?"
"Matthew, did they say what happened?"
At this time, Almeda, who had just woken up in the carriage, sat up from the bed and stretched herself and asked.
"??"
The half-demon Sonia also woke up at this time, and rubbed her eyes sleepily, propped up her body and cast a puzzled expression towards Annie and Almeda, completely unaware of what had just happened.
"fine!"
(＾－＾)
"I heard that the uncles from the Imperial Army are setting up a trap in front of us, but it's none of our business. Let's just keep sleeping!"
(??▽?)?
With that said, Annie cheered and rushed directly to the bed between Almeida and Sonia.
These days, she, Almeda, Sonia and the others were traveling leisurely every day, watching the scenery, chatting, eating delicacies from all over the world, and at the same time hugging the two young ladies and having a warm bath together. The quilt, not to mention how comfortable it was during this little life, Anne really liked this way of traveling anyway.
At the moment, she doesn't care about that useless holy sword at all. Anyway, she just wants to see something rare. It doesn't matter even if she can't make it. So, it's more important to sleep in and hug her little sister now.
(…)
(●￣(?)￣●)
"Yeah~?"
"Annie!"
"Don't squeeze!"
"Since there's something going on, the imperial army will interrogate you later, so don't sleep yet!"
"Get up quickly!"
With that said, Almeda struggled to sit up and began to dress.
"..."
Although Sonia on the side was still a little confused, seeing Almeida getting up, she couldn't continue to lie down, so she hurriedly sat up and looked for some outer clothes.
"Really..."
(???3?)
"They are checking theirs, and we are sleeping with ours. What are you afraid of?"
?(?﹏?,)?
"snort!"
o(′^｀)o
There was no other way. Seeing that she couldn't persuade the two of them, Annie had no choice but to sit up angrily and kick the soft cashmere blanket aside.
(…)
(●￣(?)￣●)
"!!"
"Hey!"
"There are only women inside, there is no one you are looking for!"
"Hello!"
"What are you doing?!"
"Don't!"
At this time, Matthew and Grenier were arguing with someone outside.
then……
Gala~!
When Anne was about to have fun with Almeida and Sonia, suddenly, the door of the carriage was suddenly opened from the outside, and then, several menacing Imperial soldiers unexpectedly said Their eyes widened and they looked hard into the car.
And when they saw that there was really no place to hide people in the carriage, and that there were only two women, one older and three women inside, they pulled the parchment portraits in their hands and began to compare them.
"..."
"..."
"..."
At this time, Anne, Almeda and Sonia, who had not expected that the carriage door would suddenly open, were stunned for a moment.
So, they didn't say anything, and just let the fierce Imperial soldiers hold the portraits and compare them with each other.
"..."
"Report!"
"Sir!"
"The suspect in the portrait was not found inside, only a half-demon!"
Soon, the group of Imperial soldiers who had finished the comparison turned their heads and reported loudly to the Imperial commander who came over.
"Well?"
"There really is a dirty half-demon..."
"alright!"
"Since they are not the target, let them get out of here!"
Hearing this, the Imperial Army officer also walked over curiously and took a glance.
Then soon, when he discovered that there was indeed no prisoner they were looking for in the carriage, and that Sonia was indeed a dark-skinned half-demon with pointed ears, he sneered with disgust, then waved his hand, intending to let the soldiers Check out a horse-drawn carriage or a ground dragon carriage.
"??"
"Dirty half-demon?"
"you!!"
Seeing that the Imperial Army officer dared to say that about herself, Sonia, who didn't have much affection for humans to begin with, became angry on the spot.
So, she reached out and touched the hilt of the sword that she had hidden under the quilt, and then planned to stand up and rush out.
"don't want!"
"Sonia!"
"Can't!"
Fortunately, Almeda on the side had quick eyesight and quickly reached out to hold Sonia's shoulders. At the same time, she shook her head, signaled with her eyes, and begged silently.
She had traveled around the continent with Matthew and Grenier, and had been a mercenary for many years. She knew very well that it was not a good idea to rashly conflict with the Imperial Army, especially now that the opponent had a large number of people. when.
"Almeda..."
Looking at her new friends, at Almeida's pleading expression, and at the group of Imperial soldiers who had turned around, Sonia's chest heaved violently several times and thought for a long time before she managed to suppress it. She suppressed the anger in her heart and slowly let go of her hand that had touched the hilt of the sword.
"Very good!"
Seeing that Sonia was persuaded by her and did not conflict with the Imperial soldiers, Almeda couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
"etc!"
!(;?o?)o
It's a pity that Almeida persuaded Sonia, but she couldn't stop a troublesome little girl who was even more troublesome.
Isn’t this?
When the Imperial Army soldiers were about to leave after completing their investigation, Anne directly called out to those people.
Then, she jumped directly from the carriage to the bridge, and in a few steps, she ran up to some inexplicable Imperial soldiers, and snatched the two portraits from a soldier's hand. He looked at it indifferently.
"ha!"
?(?ˉ??ˉ?)
"I know the two people above, and I'm very familiar with them!"
(*^▽^*)
Then, a little girl who was worried and worried that the matter was not serious enough, told a terrible thing in public,
"!!"
"!!"
Hearing this, Matthew and Grenier, who had also heaved a sigh of relief, both changed their faces.
Then, they stared at a certain troubled little girl with their eyes wide open in disbelief, wondering why she would do such a terrible thing.
"..."
At the same time, Almeda in the carriage was also stunned and didn't know what to say.
Of course, it's too late to say anything now.
"..."
"..."
Similarly, the group of imperial soldiers all turned around and did not speak in a hurry. They just tightened their faces and frowned, and then looked at their commander involuntarily.
"oh?"
"little girl……"
"Do you really know the person in the portrait?"
"Still familiar with them?"
After hesitating for a moment, the imperial commander first made a vague gesture, and then strode back with the hilt of the military broadsword at his waist.
"Of course!"
(*^▽^*)
"I really know the people in the portrait very well. This is Uncle Alvin, and this is Sister Shirley. We were living together a few days ago. Do you have anything to do with them?"
(???.???)????
Anne asked, not caring at all.
"Yeah……"
"very good."
"Take them down!!!"
However, the Imperial Army commander did not answer why he was looking for those two people. He just suddenly laughed and waved his hand resolutely.
Immediately afterwards, the surrounding large group of Imperial soldiers who had been well prepared waved their spears or swords menacingly and surrounded and pounced on the vehicle at the end of the team.

(?▽?) Is there a monthly pass?
