Ilucia was very worried. She was sitting in the luxurious carriage of the Barov family, a little confused about her future destiny.
She knew that the Barov family had completely lost and had become an outcast of the human kingdom. Lordaeron could keep them alive only because they had lost the ability to resist.
She originally thought that after signing the contract to protect the souls of her parents and relatives, she would be closely guarded by the Scourge and would never be able to leave Keldaron and become their puppet.
Ilucia's behavior will help the growth of the undead, and may even trigger a disaster that sweeps the entire human civilization, but she can no longer feel even a trace of sadness in her heart, only endless numbness.
However, after she signed the contract and sold her soul, the Scholomance Academy curbed their behavior and no longer even tried to influence the normal residents of the island.
This behavior of the undead made Ilucia confused. If they stayed in Keldaron like this, it would be completely contrary to their previous practices.
After a brief period of confusion, Ilucia gave up thinking about this issue. She only needed to know that she was a pawn in a huge conspiracy.
However, just when she thought she would be under house arrest on the island of Keldaron for the rest of her life, being a noble lady, a transfer order from the Dark Dean made her leave Keldaron and go to Lordaeron. In the royal capital, it seems that there is a high-ranking person who wants to meet the head of the contemporary Barov family.
Miss Ilucia, who had already given up thinking, didn't want to know why Gading had such a request, but her habit as a noble still made her think that this might be the starting point of the Scourge Legion's larger plot.
So, accompanied by the Scholomance Academy guards, she left Keldaron and headed to Lordaeron, preparing to accept her orders.
The wheels of the carriage rolled on the smooth gravel road. Ilucia looked at the exquisite pastries and fruits on the small table in front of her, but she didn't have the slightest appetite.
Gradually, the speed of the carriage slowed down, and Ilucia heard the guard's knock on the door. She cheered up a little, because she knew that she needed to "play" the role of the eldest lady.
Ilucia elegantly opened the curtains with her hands and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
The guard lowered his head and reported, "Miss, there is a check card for the First Legion in front of you. I would like to remind you that the journey may be slow."
Ilucia nodded lightly and lowered the curtains with a calm face. She leaned on the comfortable backrest in the carriage and sighed softly - the First Legion is the most elite force in the human kingdom, but they are just ordinary people. Man, no problem can be found at all.
Moreover, the Barov family's fleet did not transport any goods, only Ilucia's personal vehicle frame and the noble's family crest, so the soldiers guarding the card had no room for inspection.
Could it be that she could still count on the soldiers of the First Legion to detect die-hard apprentices trained by the Scholomance Academy to become death knights and necromancers?
They are all alive now, and they are covered by magic. Unless people from the Holy Light Church set up checks at the checkpoints, it is impossible to detect any abnormalities.
However, knights of the Silver Hand and priests of the church rarely go to checkpoints unless they are in an emergency, because if it is a convoy transporting goods, there will be special church personnel to inspect it before entering the town. It's a waste of manpower on this ordinary level.
Paladins and priests are followers of the Holy Light. Their numbers are too rare compared to ordinary soldiers and cannot be assigned to all parts of the country.
The carriage moved forward slowly. Finally, it was the Barov family's convoy's turn to be inspected. After a simple handover of documents and a search, the soldiers stepped back and prepared to let them go.
"etc!"
A voice stopped the convoy, and the coachman had to pull the reins to stop the carriage that had just started.
"Lieutenant Cavan!"
The soldiers of the First Legion saluted. A young noncommissioned officer in silver armor came over and picked up the documents placed on the table. He briefly browsed and nodded.
"Hello, Miss Ilucia Barov, I am the paladin of the Silver Hand and the lieutenant of the First Legion, Cavin Dillon." Lieutenant Cavin made a simple introduction.
"Please forgive me for bumping into your frame, but the recently issued documents require us to conduct further inquiries on vehicles that have not recorded travel traces for a long time."
Facing Lieutenant Cavan's question, the guards around the carriage remained silent, and even the driver lowered his head and pressed down his straw hat.
Feeling the strange peaceful atmosphere outside, Ilucia sighed silently. Of course she knew what she should say at this time, "Lieutenant Cavin, the territory of the Barov family is Keldaron Island, so our family's carriage It’s not a surprise not to be on the roads in West Weald.”
Lieutenant Cavan then asked, "Then if you can, please tell us the reason why you chose to enter the capital of Lordaeron at this time."
"This involves the Barov family's business, so there's no need to say a more specific reason, right?" Ilucia's voice in the carriage was filled with a hint of anger, as if she was tired of Calvin's rude behavior, "I I think the lieutenant of the First Legion shouldn’t be spying on nobles’ information.”
Lieutenant Cavin quickly apologized, "I'm very sorry, Miss Barov, please forgive me for being rude. His Royal Highness the Prince has an order. We must strictly inspect all vehicles. Please forgive me if there is any offense."
After finishing speaking, Kavin shouted to his soldiers, "What are you still doing? Let him go immediately!"
"Yes, Lieutenant!"
Seeing the Barov family's carriage leaving, it seemed that Calvin's inquiry was of no use and had also offended a noble. The checkpoint guards who were familiar with Calvin came up and whispered, "Lieutenant, what happened to you today?" , that is the carriage of the Barov family! And it also has the documents approved by the Lordaeron royal family!"
Although the Barov family has declined, it was once a great noble after all, and it is not something that a little lieutenant like Calvin can afford to offend.
Obviously, Kavin's questions have made the eldest lady of the Barov family very unhappy. These soldiers are a little worried about whether Kavin will be affected by this matter.
However, the humble attitude that Cavin showed just now was completely gone at this moment. He stared at the departing carriage and just replied to the soldiers, "No problem, we are just doing business. His Highness the Prince has an order, even if it is... When His Majesty the King’s carriage passes by, we also have to ask what needs to be asked.”
Upon hearing the title "His Royal Highness," the soldiers immediately became serious, but Kavin did not want to continue this topic.
"Okay, you guys don't come here to watch the fun. There are so many people to check behind. Do you think you have done a good job?"
Lieutenant Cavin reprimanded them several times. After watching the soldiers retreat angrily, he shook his head and threw away his previous thoughts: He always felt that something was wrong with that convoy, but Ilucia There was nothing unusual about the young lady's performance, and the convoy had a royal approval pass, which was proof of approval by the Privy Council.
In the end, Calvin just thought that he was a little overly nervous because of what happened to the Thirteenth Battalion—the camp that was littered with corpses overnight still bore the scars of the soldiers of the First Legion.
