How To Wear a Goddess Statue

Chapter 47: mountain bandit

    The terrain of Solan is changeable. In the first section, you can enjoy the flat and broad river view on the cargo boat, and the next section ushered in the rugged mountains. After all, the leisure time of traveling by boat is over.

    At the moment the caravan was walking around the mountain, and the cavalry guards lined up in a long line in front of and behind the caravan. As long as you bypass this mountain, you will reach the next main city.

    Lotus sat by the small window of the carriage, resting her chin in one hand, looking out of the window in a trance.

    There are not many things that can be used for spiritual entertainment in this era. There are no modern electronic devices, and when I am bored, I can only be in a daze.

    Suddenly, the car window was tapped lightly, and across the hollowed out carvings on the window, the princess on a horse leaned over and asked, "My rotation time is enough. You seem a little bored, Are you going out for a walk?"

    Luodus shook his head.

    Eleuil: "Okay, I'll go to the next group to hand over and come back to play chess with you."

    The princess drove the horse to a place where Luo Das could not see, and found the next round of guards to hand over.

     

    She took out the chessboard and the small box full of chess pieces from the dark cabinet of the carriage.

    This board game is a unique entertainment in Solancia, called Seshat, but it can be played by two people or four people.

    All chess pieces are made into the image of various animal heads, and they devour each other on the chessboard.

    Luodas chose White, and Eleuil took black.

    The two chatted while playing chess.

    "Calculate the distance, the day after tomorrow you will arrive at Vash."

    "Yes, if it were faster, it should be there by tomorrow evening."

    "Or are you going to act like you did before?"

    "No, Mortis and the others have never met the city lord of this main city, so I don't know what kind of person they are." Eleuil pondered for a moment, and put the deer head in his hand. Chess is placed in a space.

    Luodus nodded, her two slender fingers in her right hand held the eagle-headed chess piece carved from white jade, and swayed gently, as if she was indecisive.

    The left hand is placed on the edge of the chessboard, and the movement is natural. The red gold bracelet is set on the thin white wrist, with an indescribable noble and subtle sense of imprisonment.

    Eleuil lowered her eyes, as if she was looking at the chessboard, but her eyes had already slipped to the hand.

      ?"

    Luodus was stunned for a moment, then turned the bracelet subconsciously, the graceful letters on the bracelet circled with the movement, and the outline at the end lifted up like wings slowly unfolding.

    "Well, it's my name."

    The princess gave a low "ah": "Is this the text of the gods?"

    "It's not, it's from a distant country." Luo Das smiled.

    Eleuil: "...That's it."

    She carefully observed Luodus's expression, it was some kind of nostalgia that no one could touch, as if it was far in the sky.

    "You must like that country very much, and this kind of writing is also very beautiful, can I learn it?"

    Luodas motioned her to look at the chessboard: "Wait until this game is over."

    "Okay, how about you teach me when I lose, and I learn from you when I win?"

    "Yes."

    Unable to find the difference between winning and losing, Luo Das laughed and focused on the chess game.

    When the pieces of the two sides were laid out on the chessboard, each occupying a large area of ​​the country, Eleuil was about to put a piece on it, and the tip of her ear moved suddenly, she stood up suddenly, put Luo Tu Slaughtered behind him.

    With the slight sound of breaking wind, a sharp arrow was nailed to the outside of the carriage with great strength.

    Less than a second later, there was a sudden whining from the front. The horse driving the carriage was hit by an arrow. It screamed in pain and galloped forward like a madman.

    The driving guard shouted: "Your Highness! The arrow in the horse is out of control!"

     Not to die or to be seriously injured by then.

    If only Eleuil was in the car, she would definitely jump out of the car at the first time, but the gods were by her side—

    Eleuil made a decisive decision: "Cut the rope!"

    Before she finished speaking, she swept to the door of the car like lightning, and without hesitation drew out her long sword and chopped the rope on one side.

    The guard reacted and slashed at the connecting rope on the other side with his sword. The sharp weapon on the battlefield could even smash into the enemy's armor, and the rope would be disconnected after a few cuts.

    The horse that lost its load neighed, speeding up suddenly, rampaging, and disappeared in the nearby forest without a trace in the blink of an eye.

    The carriage continued to slide forward for a while due to inertia, and then swayed and barely stopped.

    Luodasi was about to get up when she heard the princess quickly say: "You stay in the car, I'll be right back."

    After saying that, Eleuil jumped out of the car.

    A melee had begun outside the carriage, and the cavalry of the Guard was fighting with a group of bandits.

     

    As soon as he turned his eyes, arrows shot out from the mountains and forests. One of the guards was unprepared. He was shot in the back and fell off his horse. The bandit who was fighting against him laughed. Unceremoniously stepped forward to make up the knife.

    Eleuil's eyes suddenly turned cold.

    I found that the princess got out of the carriage, the arrows stopped, and then more sharp arrows poured down, pointing at Eleuil.

    Eleuil swung a long sword to block the arrows, and another guard arrived in time, surrounded her, and killed all the enemies who wanted to be detrimental to the princess.

    Taking advantage of this opportunity, Eleuil took off the longbow with his backhand, and shot out an arrow, sunk into the forest.

    Short screams rang out in response, and there was a commotion in the mountains and forests, Eleuil's expression remained unchanged, slightly adjusted the angle, and continued to pull the strings and arrows.

    It is inevitable, like the sound of death.

    Until the dark arrows stopped shooting from the mountains and forests, Eleuil put down her bow and slashed all the way with a long sword.

    The gangsters are gangsters in the end, even though the number is larger, they are still no match for the cavalry who fight against foreigners on the battlefield all the year round.

    What's more, there is also the princess present. She used to shock the border by herself, so how could she be defeated by this group of rabble.

    Seeing that there are fewer and fewer troops on your side, the bandit leader gritted his teeth: "Come on!"

    After finishing speaking, I turned the horse's head and galloped towards the mountains on the other side.

    This is their territory, and the bandit leader knows how complicated the terrain is.

    The moment he entered the forest, the leader of the bandit felt relieved.

    But soon, his eyes widened.

    An arrow pierced from his back and out of his chest, accurately piercing the heart that was beating rapidly due to the fierce fighting.

    "cough...uh..."

    The leader of the bandit didn't have time to raise his hand, so he fell to the ground unwillingly.

    Eleuil looked at the scattered gangsters who escaped, and shot arrows unhurriedly, watching their backs disappear into the forest, she blew a whistle.

    Two golden eagles fell aside.

    "Go, don't make any noise, watch where they're going." Eleuil's tone was cold.

    The golden eagle sisters flew up and followed the escaped gangsters far behind.

    Lena asked: "Your Highness, are you all right?"

    Eleuil: "It's fine. You count the casualties."

    "Yes!"

    "Mortis, search."

    The captain of the Guards understood, and led his men to the corpse of the bandit.

    Everything was arranged, the coldness on Eleuil's face paused, and in the blink of an eye it turned into urgency and worry.

    The princess ran to the carriage, looked through the window and asked, "Are you okay?"

    Lotus did not answer.

    Her eyes were empty, I wonder if it was an illusion, and her face was even pale.

    Eleuil's heart tightened: "Luodus?"

    The next moment, Luodus suddenly returned to his senses, and his emotions returned to those frosty blue eyes.

    "I'm fine." She smiled nonchalantly.

    "Really? But you just—"

    "I am a **** anyway." Luo Tus said helplessly, "They are waiting for you, let's deal with things first."

    Eleuil frowned and whispered, "You can tell me."

    Lotus: "…"

    The princess stared at her expression, as if trying to find something from it. After about three seconds, Eleuil straightened up and walked towards the guards who were still searching the bandits and the businessman who was still in shock. team member.

    Lotus looked at the back of the princess, leaned back on the cushion, and took a deep and slow breath.

    She raised her hand and pressed her forehead, feeling that the throbbing pain was still there.

    Before, when he saw the sharp arrow hitting Eleuil, Luo Das subconsciously made his hand, and the water condensed into a rope, which was about to restrain the archer's throat.

    But just as the water flow tightened, a sudden palpitation enveloped her, and her temples throbbed. The water flow could not be maintained and dissipated in an instant.

    For a moment, Luodus thought the world stood still.

    All sounds and pictures are frozen at a certain point, and then operate slowly, like a slow motion, until Eleuil came to the front and called her name, everything was in Luodus Cognition returned to normal.

    Lotus felt lost.

      easy.

    The truth is that Rhodes is hindered by some force.

    That thing - whatever it is - is preventing the gods from obliterating mortals and preventing success.

    Is it a rule that can be above the gods? Or other similar consciousness, or the working mechanism of myth itself?

    Luodus couldn't come to a conclusion for the time being, she turned her bracelet and kept these questions in her mind.

    The search of the gangster's body yielded no useful information.

    They don't carry special marks, they are not uniform in age, and they wear various clothes. They seem to be just a group of ordinary mountain bandits who want to make a fortune when they see the caravan passing by.

    How can ordinary mountain bandits have the courage to attack the caravan guarded by so many cavalry, and how can they target the princess?

    Eleuil stood beside the corpse of the bandit leader, maintaining a thoughtful posture.

    Occasionally lowered her eyes and saw blood splattered on the Snow Tea Flower Amulet, paused for a while, took out the handkerchief and wiped it carefully.

    Then the princess raised her smelting gold eyes and looked at the mountain wall in front of her.

    Around this mountain is the city of Vash.
