Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 143 Caroline's Appeal
They need to stay in Xiye City for a few days.There is no other reason. After passing the Xiye City and walking out of the Xiye Plain, there is the complex terrain of Derek Province——

It was the last barrier facing the north of the capital, with mountains and fortresses.La Rochelle adopts a parallel system of provinces and noble territories, which has been the case since the new dynasty replaced the old dynasty 200 years ago.

For example, the Sweipa area and Judea pass belong to the territories of nobles, and as the last insurance for the king's capital facing north, the Derek area naturally cannot be assigned to a certain duke's fiefdom, but as a province , listen to the provincial governor.

As for why La Rochelle adopted such a political system, we have to start with what happened 200 years ago.But when Cyril was in the game, he only had a rough understanding of some things related to this aspect, and only knew that a big war broke out.

After the Great War, almost all information related to the old dynasty was wiped out by the new dynasty, and Herman I decisively allocated the area to the heroes and nobles at that time. The strategy of calming the hearts of the people was indeed effective.When La Rochelle recovers from the aftermath of the Great War and begins to flourish, not many people will care about how miserable the previous dynasty was.

In Xiye City, Cyril and the others need additional equipment, and if conditions permit, they even plan to replace a batch, such as horses and carriages-they use long-legged horses from the northern Xinjiang plains, and they are good at driving on the plains, but Derek province A pony with more endurance and more mountainous terrain is a more suitable choice.

Of course, if Xiye City has suitable talents, Cyril will decisively persuade them to join. If it is a top-level talent, then it doesn't matter whether the other party is willing or not, let's tie the carriage first.

However, Cyril recalled it and didn't think of any particularly powerful guy living here, so he gave up.

Xiye City, as the transfer point between the royal capital and northern Xinjiang, is actually very prosperous. Horse-drawn carriages drive on the dedicated carriageway, even though the road is so spacious, it is still blocked.

There are long poles erected at the gates of the houses on the roadside, on which are hung large flags with green borders and blue backgrounds, on which are painted ostentatious big birds with silver patterns.There are still long tassels on the side of the flag, and there are bells tied on the tassels, which will jingle when there is a breeze.

Cyril was wrapped in a cloak, and under his insistence, the little girls and other races in the team still wore cloaks to go out.I really have to wait for the carriage to stop at the tavern. I don't know what year and month it will be. In the end, Evans and Kelan are responsible for parking the carriage, and everyone checks into the tavern first.

"That's for the sacrificial ceremony." Cyril pointed to the large flags around him, and introduced in a low voice, "Those bells are blown by the wind, and in the hearts of the citizens of Xiye, it means that the wind breath nerve has passed. , exaggerated fanatics will even kneel down immediately, and then dance-"

As he said, with a slight movement of his fingertips, the magic power in the wind element pool flowed out naturally, and all of a sudden the surrounding flags were hunting and dancing, and the sound of ringing and ringing kept ringing.

The residents who were still walking in front of them just now stopped suddenly, and they knelt on the spot as Cyril said, and then danced with their hands and feet in a strange dance.

"Are they going to dance like this all the time?" Caroline raised her head so that the hood of the cloak did not cover her eyes, and asked Cyril wrinkling her nose.She wanted to learn to dance, but this dance was too weird, and the movements were extremely awkward, so Caroline chose to give up after only doing two movements.

"They don't need it. They will stop when the wind stops. But if you are caught dancing on the stage-the stage should be set up in the center of Xiye City, and the dance will last for three days. If you can't stop, you can't make mistakes. If you make a mistake, you will have to dance again. .”

Caroline immediately wrapped the cloak tightly obediently, and lowered the hood that had been raised on purpose just now: "I see, I will definitely not run around!"

They walked all the way to the tavern, and when they were halfway there, Cyril suddenly stopped.

"The North Tower Chamber of Commerce is also distributed here." Mia raised her head, looking at the badge of the chamber of commerce above her head, a little surprised, "I don't know if the young master of their family escaped successfully."

"I guess I escaped." Cyril replied, "Elena, you and Miss Misha go check in with Caroline and your luggage first. Let's do some shopping first."

"Do you want to buy? I want to see it too!" Caroline raised her little hand high and shouted.

"Then you have to move things." Cyril turned sideways, but saw Heloise nodded slightly to him, without the slightest intention to leave.

"Your Excellency Treville also has something to buy?"

"Your Highness." She replied succinctly, and then walked into the shop of the chamber of commerce first.

"Mia, according to the recipe, see if you can buy all of these. I also bought some of the recipe last time. The potion is almost used up."

Cyril glanced at the somewhat narrow storefront and didn't choose to squeeze in.Mia is obviously much more proficient than him in business, and it would be better to teach her how to do it.

Caroline ran around the shop of the chamber of commerce twice, but it was a pity that it was just a simple shop with only a few people in charge of talking here, and there were neither products on display nor piles of goods.It didn't take long for the little girl to walk out of the store with a lack of interest, and sat down beside Cyril who was sitting on the stone steps at the door.

"Cyril, how far we have come."

She tugged at Cyril's sleeve and woke up the half-elf boy from his daze.

"Ah." Cyril came back to his senses, "It's almost... from the capital of the kingdom. If we go forward normally, we'll be there in less than a month."

"It's going to take so long." Caroline hugged her knees, and suddenly imitated whether it was Mia or Alina's movements, and sighed.

"What's the matter?" Cyril was overjoyed, the little girl's immature face imitated the melancholy of a young girl to make such movements, it was really interesting.

"How long will it take to see my father..."

Caroline buried her face in her knees and said sullenly.

Cyril suddenly fell silent.

"Yes, your father... I remember, he went to the capital?" He asked in a daze.

"Ah."

Cyril had really forgotten about Caroline's father.After all, Caroline didn't even mention it all the way, and only made this request explicit when she just left Tap Town.

Caroline's father, as a blacksmith in a small town in northern Xinjiang, was summoned to the capital by an urgent order from the kingdom, and he might not even know about the tragedy that happened in his hometown——

That's right, it turned out that Caroline wasn't completely tied to his own car. He took her to find her father for her. At least he had to get the latter's consent before he could continue to take the little girl forward.

Cyril fell into deep thought for a while, about Caroline's father, but players have never touched it - they never knew that there was something that needed the blacksmiths in the small town of northern Xinjiang to participate in the construction .

He thought for a while, but was woken up again by Caroline pulling his sleeves:

"Cyril, Cyril, look, what are the people over there doing?"

Cyril looked in the direction she was pointing, and was startled suddenly, and his whole body instantly became sober:
Just across the street, in the narrow alley between two rows of houses, there was a figure dragging a struggling body, walking slowly.
