After another day of the hasty journey, they finally walked out of the dangerous middle part of the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, and came to the periphery region.
Yesterday they once again encountered a fourth rank magical beast, but everyone managed to avoid it under Elvis’ protection.
This time, the team unexpectedly did not have any casualties even though they passed a very dangerous place, this made the scarred middle-aged man very excited, his eyes were full of emotion as he looked at Elvis and Li Luo who were walking behind the crowd.
If only he could keep the two of them on their escort team, what a pity, that four star magus would certainly not agree to this request, and that powerful silver haired young man must be the mage’s contracted warrior, he would always follow him and protect him. After all, all of the people in the whole continent knew that although mages were very powerful, their bodies were very fragile, if they didn’t have any strong warrior to protect them, they would completely be unable to resist close combat attacks.
However, under his observation these days, he felt that the relationship between the two of them wasn’t as simple as a mage and his warrior, in his opinion, their relationship was not only between master and follower, but……A little more ambiguous.
That blond mage obviously loved the silver haired warrior who was shorter than him, he always paid attention to the silver haired warrior’s condition, and was very concerned about the silver haired warrior also making ambiguous movements toward him from time to time.
The silver haired warrior who in his opinion was very slow in reaction, seemed to still not realize the blond mage’s intentions toward him, but apparently he should also like the blond haired mage, as he doesn’t resist against his movements and only felt very shy and blushed with shame.
In his observations as an outsider, he only felt his eyes were almost blinded by their public display of affection even if the two of them seemed unaware of it, but he also did not have the intent to expose and disturb the ambiguous atmosphere between them.
The blond haired mage was not a man to be trifled with, if he broke the harmonious atmosphere between them, and annoyed the blond haired mage, who knew what terrible magic he would cast on him.
For this, he also secretly warned all of his subordinates, so they didn’t do anything that would disturb the blond haired mage and the silver haired warrior.
In this way, everyone could get along peacefully, and after they spent more than five days, they could finally leave this vast Mountain Range of Magical Beasts and enter the Saint Malo Empire’s territory.
After leaving the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, everyone’s expressions immediately relaxed, and their tight tension also easily went down, many people took a long breath and celebrated their safe departure from the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts.
The next step was to reach the appointment site, only then their mission could entirely be completed.
……
According to the instructions of the people who were entrusted with the goods before, they had to walk on the flat main street for three days, and come to the front of a quite wide-ranging city.
After they entered the city gate where ordinary people walked into. Li Luo immediately saw the beautiful western-style buildings after they passed the towering city wall, and there was a steady stream of pedestrians. When he walked a few hundred meters more from the city gate, he saw a very lively market.
The scarred middle-aged man who took the lead merely swept a glance at the bustling market, and then said, “I know everyone is tired now, but wait for a while to take the commission, then I will take you to have fun, and make sure you properly recover from fatigue.”
As the scarred middle-aged man’s voice fell down, the people behind him immediately whistled, and many of them cheered loudly, immediately becoming energetic.
The team bypassed the very lively market, and turned to a small alley where only one carriage could pass through.
After passing through the small alley, they reached another street, which obviously had much less people than the previous street with the market that they passed, and the surrounding buildings also looked a lot more superior in quality.
No one in the team glanced around, and drove the carriage to the front of an inn. This inn looked very upscale, and decorated in a luxurious and exquisite style.
As early as a few days ago, the scarred middle-aged man sent a message through a communication stone to the person who was to receive the goods that they were about to reach the destination, and the site where they had agreed to meet—was precisely this luxuriously decorated inn.
A young man in a dark blue robe was standing in the front of inn, as soon as he saw the team coming this way, his eyes flashed a glimpse of understanding, and he took large strides to welcome them. He stood in the front of scarred middle-aged man, looked at him for a while, before smiling, “You are Hermon, the leader of the team that escorted the goods, right? Hello, I’m the one who will come to pick you up.”
Hermon looked quietly at the young man for a long time, before he finally said, “Then I will trouble this little brother.”
The carriage was unable to enter from the main entrance, so the young man led the crowd to the inn’s side door. He knocked on the door several times in a rhythm, before someone immediately opened the door, and allowed everyone go inside.
Li Luo and Elvis were following behind the crowd, and when the two of them entered, the person who opened the door immediately closed the door.
Li Luo walked into the door, and his eyes immediately brightened, he felt the inn was high quality when he was outside, but after he came in, he felt that in addition to the high quality the architectural design on the outside, the inside was very innovative and appeared very unique.
They entered the courtyard garden in the middle of the building, with a fountain that was built in the middle of the garden. They saw a sculpture of woman with splendid clothes that slightly bent her waist there, seeming to want to draw the clear water of pond at the side of her legs.
In her hand was a pottery jar, as the flowing water gushed out from it into the pond, and at this woman’s feet was a huge flower basket, inside was all kinds of flowers blooming, apparently having been created by magic, the flowers in the basket were lifelike, and emitted a soothing aroma, in addition there were countless butterflies encircling around the sculpture of the woman dancing gracefully, the picture was very dreamy.
“Ok, you shall take out all the goods from the carriage. I will send people to move them inside, and let my master check if all of them are still here.”
This kind of situation where they didn’t see the employer was very common, Hermon also did not ask many questions, he turned his head and dispatched his people to move out all the items inside the carriage, each and every one of the boxes were placed neatly in the garden, there were more than 20 boxes in total.
The young man nodded, and looked back, as more than ten men dressed in the same clothes as him immediately came out, before they bent over and moved the boxes into the corridor not far away.
Inside a room in an angle where everyone couldn’t see, a slim figure of a girl was standing behind the curtains, her long skirt was draped over the soft carpet, one of her slender white and soft hands slightly opened the thick curtains, as her emerald green eyes looked curiously at the people standing in the courtyard below.
After seeing the young man with blond hair among the crowd, who looked very handsome, the girl only felt that her heart was jumping, and both of her eyes began to shine, she couldn’t help but pay attention to the blond haired young man, the more she observed, the more her eyes brightened.
“Princess.” At that moment, a vague female voice sounded from behind the thick door, the girl reluctantly withdrew her line of sight, and then said after a while, “Come in.”
“Yes.” The person outside the door answered, before opening the door, and walked in. This was a young girl in a crimson colored skirt, she walked to the girl standing in the front of the window, before stopping in the front of girl, and bowed her body, “Princess Chris, all of the items that you wanted have been delivered, this subordinate already checked them and there was no danger, do you need to check the goods personally?”
“Oh, then open all of them, and let me see.” Chris nodded her head, her long brown curly hair slightly swayed with her movements, she turned those pair of emerald green eyes on her beautiful face from the window, before he beckoned the maid, “Meila, come here.”
“Yes.” The little maid went closer to Chris without any hesitation.
“You help me inquire, who is that person?” Chris once again opened the curtain, and pointed her finger to Elvis, who was talking to Li Luo.
“Princess, what do you want to do?” Meila asked in confusion.
“Just go and do it, do you want to rebel against my order?” Chris glared at the maid.
Meila immediately shrank her neck and answered, “I know.”
Chris nodded with satisfaction, her beautiful face was full of smiles, and her eyes were sparkling as she looked at Elvis a few times, before she moved her line of sight to the more than twenty boxes of items that she had been thinking about for a long time.
……
After Li Luo and and Elvis got their payment, they parted with Hermon.
What they didn’t know was that not long after they left, Hermon who originally wanted to leave, was stopped by a maid.
The maid directly asked him about Elvis’ information. Hermon originally didn’t want to leak it, after all, Elvis gave him a very dangerous feeling, but after the maid showed him a token from her sleeve, Hermon’s pupils shrank, his voice paused for a moment, before he telling the maid everything he knew of Elvis.
Li Luo and Elvis left the hotel, once again passing through the small alley, before arriving at the outskirts of the market.
“Ludwig, are you hungry?” Elvis turned his head and asked Li Luo who was walking beside him.
Li Luo who was originally not feeling hungry at all, but when Elvis asked this question, he felt that his stomach became hungry. He nodded and looked at the surroundings, “Let’s find a place to eat.”
He was always eating dry foods in this journey, at this chance he was going to find a good place to have a large and sumptuous meal.
