"All the coachmen in the territory were killed by Hailan soldiers, and we don't know the way to Yamei Province." Lin Ya said with some regret.
Drew was quite surprised when he heard the news. When I was in the Apocalypse Continent, I asked someone casually and got the route to Saint Syme City. In the Old Continent, even the nobles of a territory couldn't figure out the route?
"It's true that none of you know the way to Yamei Province?" Dulu looked around, his eyes everywhere, and everyone avoided them.
"Most of them are farmers in the territory. They have never left the Sumei territory in their lives." Lin Ya explained helpfully: "Please don't blame them."
Angel nodded: "What's the closest city to here?"
"Cross this ridge and follow the Linghe River in the northwest to the end. There is Blackpool City. However, if nothing unexpected happens, Blackpool City has been occupied by Hailan..." Lin Ya said in a low voice.
Drew turned to look at Angel: "Master Pat, are we going to Blackpool City?"
Angel said "Yeah", even if Blackpool City was completely occupied by Hailan, there would always be people alive.
Next, Dulu opened the locks that locked everyone in. After everyone was released from the cage, they spontaneously approached Daolinya's back. From this, it can be seen that Linya did not lie. She is regarded as a spiritual leader in the eyes of everyone.
"What are your plans next?" Dulu asked curiously. If Hailan invades the Black Crow Province, this group of people seems to be in danger wherever they go.
Lin Ya thought for a moment: "There is actually an underground cave near the Sumei territory. There are knights arranged by our family there. They are our last support. I will lead my people to go there to find hope."
Hearing Lin Ya say this, Duru felt a little relieved. Although he was very indignant at the behavior of this group of people after he rescued them, they were all innocent people after all, and he couldn't bear to see these people die in the wilderness.
Angel released the gondola and motioned for Dulu to get on board.
When Lin Ya saw the sudden appearance of the flying boat, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. She suddenly thought of something: "Two adults, are you...the legendary wizard?"
Angel nodded indifferently: "Have you ever heard of a wizard?"
According to the information Jon had collected before, the entire Golden Bird Empire was very self-contained and would not record any extraordinary events at all. Therefore, Lin Ya knew about the wizard, and Angel was quite curious.
"I've heard it!" Lin Ya nodded excitedly: "I heard it from Miss Shannon."
"Shannon...are you talking about the Shannon from the Shannon royal family?" Angel asked with raised eyebrows.
Although Angel had always lived in the remote town of Gru and didn't have many contacts with nobles, it didn't mean that he didn't know the name of the current Golden Bird royal family.
Lin Ya's eyes were full of expectation: "Yes, I am talking about Miss Taweil Shannon, the seventh princess of the royal family. Master Wizard, can you save her? She escaped under our cover three days ago Here, at that time we thought, it’s okay if we die, at least Miss Shannon can survive. But now that we have been rescued by adults, Miss Shannon is probably still sleeping in the wild, in the wilderness, and we are worried about her..."
Angel did not reply. Instead, Drew asked: "The Miss Shannon you are talking about is a pregnant woman wrapped in animal skins, right?"
Lin Ya's expression was stunned, and she nodded: "Have you seen her, sir?"
"I've seen it, it's in that direction. If you want to look for it, you can go and look for it yourself." Drew pointed casually. Although he was dissatisfied with Shannon's behavior of treating them as guns, after all, the other party was a pregnant woman, and the child in his belly was also very serious. Innocent, it is always safer to return to the crowd.
After that, Drew was ready to leave.
Lin Ya suddenly said: "Miss Shannon used to be a top student at Plantagenet Royal College. She has a high level of accomplishment in geography, military affairs, and art. She must know the way from Heiwu Province to Yamei Province!"
"What do you mean?" Angel looked at Lin Ya intently.
Lin Ya knelt directly on the ground: "I beg you to take Miss Shannon out of Heiwu Province. Just put her in any province that is not a war zone. Yamei Province can also be used. Miss Shannon has been to Yamei." From the province, she said before that she once went to Watford to listen to Master Megeve's recital... Take her with you, she can guide you."
Lin Ya kept kowtowing, and Duru looked at Angel to ask for his opinion.
"You don't worry about yourself, but worry about outsiders?"
Lin Ya: "Miss Shannon belongs to the royal family. Her identity has not been exposed yet, but if she is captured by Hai Lan's people, it will definitely damage the morale of the entire Golden Bird Empire..."
Angel thought for a while and said softly: "Okay."
Lin Ya's eyes immediately filled with joy, and she kept saying thank you. When she raised her head again, the dreamy flying boat had disappeared.
"Master Pat, why did you suddenly decide to bring that pregnant woman with you?" Drew was actually quite dissatisfied with Shannon.
Angel thought for a moment: "Probably because of her identity and..."
—She had attended Megève's recital.
Before entering the wizarding world, Angel's biggest wish at that time was to go to Watford with his brother Leon to listen to Master Megeve's recital, but in the end he did not go. In Lin Ya's mouth, he suddenly heard the name again, the familiar hometown - Waterford, the familiar childhood idol - Master Megeve, which made him both nostalgic and a little touched.
"Isn't she a member of the royal family? There's nothing strange about that. She's a mortal noble anyway." Duru muttered.
"Don't forget, you are also a mortal now." Angel smiled.
"This is different. I will become the most powerful official wizard in the future!" Dulu said deliberately in a relaxed tone, but he kept holding a piece of silk in his hand, repeatedly wiping the blood-stained Tang Dao, his eyes There was a trace of sadness in it.
He wiped it carefully, but Angel could see that his hands were shaking from time to time. It can be seen that his heart is definitely not as relaxed and comfortable as he appears on the surface.
Angel did not expose Duru, and said softly: "Actually, when I was young, when my father was still alive, he always praised the royal family's strategy and efficiency. Under the influence of his ears and eyes, I also have a good impression of the royal family. "
"That's it." Dulu looked at Angel suspiciously, obviously not believing it.
Angel did not express his true thoughts, but sighed: "I always thought that Hailan was not strong enough, and defeat would be a matter of time. Unexpectedly, Hailan actually won, and I didn't know what happened in the meantime. What happened?"
Before Angel could finish his emotion, they came to the fire they had discovered earlier. Shannon was wrapped in the fur that Angel gave him, sitting by the fire, holding an unknown fruit in his hand and gnawing on it. Although he looked very lonely, his movements were extremely elegant.
"As expected of the royal family, they still maintain dining etiquette." Drew's voice reached Shannon's ears.
She looked at Drew warily, but she didn't take out the knife this time.
"Your plan worked. I became your gun. I killed all the Hailan soldiers, and I also rescued the people." Duru looked at Shannon and saw a clear flash of panic in her eyes. , but when she heard Dulu's words, a hint of joy burst out in her expression.
"I admit, it was my fault before. Are you coming back now to accuse me?" Shannon put down the half-eaten fruit: "I know that I have committed an irrefutable crime by deceiving the wizard. I can die to apologize, but I I hope it can wait a few days. My baby is due soon and he is innocent."
"You don't need to die to apologize." Angel looked at Shannon: "You just need to help us show the way."
After a while, there was another person on the gondola. Because Shannon was pregnant, she was placed in a small cubicle at the back, where she was protected from the wind.
With Shannon's guidance, the gondola can finally reach the speed it deserves.
Except when Shannon got on the boat, she took the initiative to thank Angel for the fur he gave her. He didn't speak during the whole journey. He only spoke when he was giving directions.
Duru curled his lips and said, "You can find the way just by asking in the Apocalypse Continent. When you get here, the nobles don't know the way and the common people don't know the way. In the end, you only know the way when you find the so-called royal family."
Angel: "This is normal. In the Golden Bird Empire, the people who know the road are basically the direct nobles, except for experienced coachmen. The control of maps here is stricter than on any previous continent."
"Why is it so strict?"
Angel: "Because we are still in the conservative Chengu era. In fact, the countries in the entire Old Continent are basically like this. Let's compare it with Felan Continent. Perhaps today's Old Continent, judging from the degree of development of civilization, It’s worse than the Felan continent in the Shuojin era.”
What Angel said is actually just a rough comparison. A typical example is that the Ferland Continent already has precision machinery and some prototypes of steam transmitted from the Fan Continent, but the Old Continent does not even have clocks and watches.
Other continents have popularized pulp paper as a medium for carrying knowledge. The Old Continent still continues to respect the leather paper of the old aristocratic era. Although there are pulp and paper books among the private sector, they are few in number. This has resulted in a very low popularization rate of knowledge among the people, and most people are ignorant.
Angel once heard Old Pat say that the Shannon royal family had always wanted to promote pulp paper, but all the major aristocratic families had opposed it, believing that vellum paper was the most durable and rich in culture. This has limited the current situation.
Angel used to prefer rare leather volumes, but he was not opposed to pulp and paper volumes. As for now, he prefers bound pulp and paper books because they are neater.
While Angel was talking to Duru, Shannon from behind suddenly asked: "Master Wizard, are you also from the Golden Bird Empire?"
After receiving a positive answer, Shannon asked: "Master Wizard, the tone sounds like you are a noble? I don't know which family you are from? The Munn family?"
Shannon thought that Angel would go to Yamei Province as soon as he arrived, and immediately thought of the Munn family. Moreover, she had heard from her father before that there did seem to be the shadow of the wizard behind the Meng En family. It was precisely because of this rumor that the major nobles did not dare to offend the Meng En family. In the end, the Meng En family could firmly sit among the two major families in the empire. One, known as the "backbone of the empire".
"I'm not from the Munn family, but I have met a few of my peers from the Munn family." Angel couldn't help but recall the shadows of Moro and Allen's brothers and sisters.
