CH.33 Entering Falunsi for the First Time

May 10, 363 Gregorian Calendar, Francis, France. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Reinhardt, though she went to the port every day to inquire about it, did not get the information she wanted, which caused Miss Leuse to fall into a deep state of concern, and made her look depressed. The two girls in Renosque were equally worried, but Nastasya didn't let that out easily.

Fortunately, the news brought by some guests who suddenly came on this day relieved the troubles of the three girls.

"On behalf of His Majesty the Valour King Memnon, I salute the Great Prophet and his family." The only person who would say such a thing to Miss Luce was the messenger of the Mias, Mbega.

"It is a great honor for us to have you in my house, and my father will be very happy to meet you." Reinhardt replied with a smile that it wasn't the first time she had seen this group of dark-skinned guests. The joy of these friendly guests from afar diluted her recent worries.

"Oh, by the way, the friend we met by chance on the way to the King of Iberia, drag me to bring you a letter." Mbega said this suddenly, much to Miss Luce's confusion.

"What kind of friends are they? I remember not knowing anyone I knew in Iberia. ”

"He said you'll know if you read the letter."

Reinhardt was so confused that he took a piece of linen from his hand, on which the letter was written. The Mias did not know the identity of the person who had given them this task, but since they were a Pharynsi, they would never do anything unfavorable to Sogrede's daughter. Based on this understanding, Mbega accepted the entrustment.

Obviously, they did it wisely. Miss Luce was immediately overjoyed when she saw the words on the cloth, and she pressed the cloth to her breast, and a lovely smile was on her face. Her emotions were so high that even if she jumped three feet tall now, she wouldn't surprise anyone. Reinhardt didn't jump three feet high, but she jumped up to the Mias and hugged them warmly, even giving Mbega a kiss.

"Thank you so much, thank you for bringing me this news, I'm going to tell Sister Natasha, we'll leave for home right away!" Reinhardt said this as he ran to the back of the house in high spirits, leaving the guests behind.

The Mias watched the lovely elf out of their sight, and they hadn't recovered from the embrace they had just had.

"Well, we were just hugged by the Prophet's daughter." Finally someone came to their senses.

"Mbega was kissed."

"This is quite a holy blessing, and everyone will envy us when we go back."

It seems that Mazik has a deep connection with the Leuss family, Mbega thought. He touched his kissed cheek and felt how lucky he was to be appointed by the king for this visit.

"Sister Natasha, Sister Natasha!"

"My sweet little Rhine, what makes you so happy." Nastasya stopped the little girl who was scurrying around.

"Look, look, let's not waste our time here, let's hurry back to Caiunescu, they didn't take the sea route, they went back directly by land. Let's pack up and go home, I'll be sure to get home before him. Reinhardt grabbed the other's hand and said happily.

"Oh, really?" Nastasya laughed too, "So did the letter say how the others were, and that everyone was together?" ”

"Well, I didn't say that, but since I didn't say it, everything is as it is."

"You, sometimes it's a bit reckless, I really don't know where the shrewdness of doing business has gone?" Nastasya nodded Reinhardt's little nose lightly and said lovingly. In fact, she was also very happy in her heart, but the identity of Princess Reynosque made her know how to restrain her emotions better than the girl in front of her.

May 12, 363 Continental Gregorian Calendar, Pharynsi, M'ryat Valley.

Leaving this checkpoint at the mouth of the valley, even if you officially enter the territory of Farencia, this is also the last Iberian building seen by travelers from Iberia. The actual border between Farency and Iberia is, of course, further south of the checkpoint, but considering the military convenience, the Pharansis did not put the border checkpoint on the border line.

Peace on the eastern border of France has lasted for 15 years since the First World War in 348, and the trade routes on the border have matured, and more and more merchants and travelers have entered the country from here. This checkpoint at the mouth of the Muryat Valley has become a familiar place for many merchants. The Iberians imported grain and wool from their own country in exchange for wood and leather from Farenci and Navi. As a result, the queue at this pass is growing day by day, and it is said that the queue waiting for entry can be lined up all the way to the outside of the valley at the most powerful time.

Saildora and his party set out from Valencia and headed north, abandoning the quicker sea route because there were too few conditions at sea to avoid possible Iberian pursuits. After the men had driven for some distance on horseback, Mazik got them a caravan, and they disguised themselves as a small caravan and came all the way to the place.

"Ah, when will I be able to pass the test? Why don't the Falencians make a bigger place? Cyodora complained, they had been waiting for it from the morning.

"You really can't bear it, Miss." Celeste taunted her when she had the chance.

"In this case, everyone will be impatient."

"Not necessarily, look at the people who came with you."

Princess Mastar looked at her best friend, Fiona didn't care about her boredom at this time, but sat there with great interest, busy with some manual work in her hands.

"What are you doing, my dear Fiona?" Cyodora leaned in.

"I'm weaving straw sandals." Fiona replied without looking up.

"What's that?"

"It's a kind of shoe made of straw, Lan Feng just started teaching us a few days ago." Fiona says "we", and Cyodora looks again, and Messyis and Nataya are also weaving straw together. Estella was just watching from the sidelines.

"Cut, you're really bored." Said Theodora and lay back.

It was then that the carriage began to move, so that instead of lying down in the straw pile in the carriage, she struck her head on the wooden pole on the side. Cyodora called softly, and then she held her still sore head, climbed to the side of the car, lifted the curtain and leaned out and asked, "Fiore, what's the matter?" ”

"Ah, Your Highness, it seems that Mazik has taken some way, and we can now take the priority lane." Fiore, who was driving the car, replied.

Cyodora looked from afar, the tall Falencian was talking to an officer-looking man, and Lan Feng was still holding his staff and following aside. After the two men had talked for a while, the officer saluted like Mazik and walked away. Mazik and Lan Feng also walked back to the carriage.

"Let me come, Mr. Hayes." Mazik jumped into the car and said to Fiore.

As soon as Fiore handed the reins to Mazik, Theodora lightly punched the Falunsi mercenary and asked, "What have you done to make the Farensi give you such preferential treatment?" ”

"Ah, I told them there was a diplomatic envoy from afar, and they let us cross the border directly." The Farency mercenary pointed at Lan Feng and replied.

"You're getting better at lying, big liar." Cyodora took a sip on him and hid back in the carriage.

Mazik smiled and did not respond. Driven by him, the carriage slowly left the procession, and under the guidance of the Falencian soldiers, it came to a passage on the side. After passing through the passage, Mazik reined in his horse and shouted to the carriage: "Get out of the carriage, everyone, and the soldiers should get in and check on it." ”

When the people heard him, they got out of the car one by one. Fiore stood considerately and helped the ladies out of the car one by one. Celeste was the last to come out, and she refused the gentlemanly manners of the Marstar, and jumped out of the car with a big grin. The others on the side were quite surprised by how many beautiful women of a fair caliber came out of this carriage at once, and such beautiful scenery was rare in this border area.

But then, something even more surprising happened. Celeste was the protagonist of this sudden incident, and she didn't notice it at first, but when she saw several sturdy men walking towards her, she immediately realized that something was wrong. Celeste hurriedly tried to hide back in the car, but Mazik seemed to have anticipated her move and blocked her directly.

"Stinky boy, you dare to betray me!" Celeste scolded.

"Where, where, I just informed the whereabouts of important personnel of friendly countries in a timely manner based on the consistent friendly relations between Falunsi and Nawi." Mazik laughed.

"Salest, come back with me, Your Majesty Romedal has been worried about you for a long time." The younger of the men spoke.

"Rehhagel, when is it your turn to take care of me, get out of here! I'm going to Caiunescu. Celeste replied.

Apparently not ready to go home empty-handed, Nawi Youth, known as "Rehhagel", turned around and motioned for several of his subordinates to get moving. The Navi nodded to him and headed straight for Celeste. Celeste tried to escape, but was pushed by Mazik and sent directly into the hands of the Navi. Several big men immediately picked up Celeste and walked towards Rehhagel's side.

"Let go of me, you rude bunches." Celeste struggled there as hard as she could, but it was clear that she could not break free with her strength.

"Alright, Celeste, stop making any more trouble, and come back to Navi with me."

"Don't do it, what right do you have to control my actions, damn it, let me go!"

"It is enough that I am your betrothed betrothed, and I have come by order of your father." Rehhagel replied with a raised voice.

"Who admits that it's your fiancΓ©e, so I don't want to marry a guy like you who couldn't even break a piece of dried cod in the first place."

"Alright, let's go." Rehhagel turned around and owed to the people who were still stunned, "Your Royal Highness the princess of the country has been taken care of by you along the way, and has caused you a lot of trouble, and if you are fortunate enough to be a guest in Navi in the future, we will give us a warm welcome to express our meager gratitude." ”

The crowd watched in amazement as Celeste was taken away, which was somewhat unexpected.

"Ah, yes, Miss Celeste is a princess too." Fiona said.

"Yes, I can't usually see it at all, and sure enough, barbarians are barbarians." Saildora doesn't have a crush on Romedahl's daughter, and the two are always bickering when they get together.

"Alright, Mr. Mazik, or maybe it's just your fake name, we should be able to make it all the way to Kaunescu, right?" Estella, who had never made a sound, suddenly asked. Her words made Theodora's heart skip a beat, and Princess Mastar had already sensed that something was wrong with the Pharians, but she didn't want to find out the facts. Even Seodora herself doesn't know why she did this, maybe she just prefers the feeling of traveling with a regular mercenary named "Mazik".

Fiona looked at Theodora, who was in a daze, and immediately turned around and pulled the corner of Estella's clothes, and asked her with her eyes whether she should reveal the truth at this time.

"Mastar has raised some clever girls." Mazik laughed, "Well, now that everyone has guessed, I don't need to hide anything. Oh, I'll let you know a piece of news. Your Excellency Michel Lance had just passed through here about a day ago, and if nothing else, there were a few knights of the Marstar Praetorian Guard lined up behind us. However, everyone has entered the territory of France, and the safety of the distinguished guests will naturally be the responsibility of our country. Below is Lieutenant Reinster Landil (Note 1), and I will arrange all your affairs in France. Your Excellency Lan Feng, I'm sorry for hiding it from you for so long, well, I won't accept the commission. ”

"It's nothing, I think you always have your reasons, and even more so that you've told us the truth now, haven't you?" Lan Feng didn't care about this problem at all, but felt that Reinster was a fair and upright person.

"Your Highness Cyodora, I have also figured out the purpose of your trip. I can't guarantee that you'll see Lord Luce in Caiunescu, but I can guarantee that you'll meet his family, and for now you'll have two sisters and a grandmother. Of course, the same is true of Her Highness Mercy, and if you are truly a flesh and blood of Lord Leus, don't worry, all the Phalonsis will treat you as if you were their own people. Reinster turned to the two princesses. But Celeodora didn't seem to like him talking to himself in such a businesslike tone.

"Let's go, then." Princess Mastar replied coldly, "Please show us the way, Lieutenant Randil. ”

"We're here for you, Your Highness."

The group passed through the level under the leadership of Reingst, and both Cyodora and Mexidis felt the gaze of several Pharian soldiers they met. This gaze did not make them feel uncomfortable, but made them a little proud, because there was no element of desire in it, only a little curiosity and a hint of respect.

"I think it's better to have some lunch first, it's almost noon now, there are a lot of restaurants here, if you don't dislike it, I'll take you to the restaurant I frequent." Reingst suggested. There was no objection.

The restaurant is full of people, it seems that business is very good, although it seems a little chaotic, but overall it is still a clean and tidy place. The group found a table and sat down, and Reinster ordered their meal, and then he introduced the restaurant to another speciality of the restaurant, which was a troubadour who was a storyteller.

When the troubadour appeared, the customers heckled him, which made the middle-aged man a little nervous.

"I said Bilal, if I hear you singing the same old joke from three months ago, I'll just kick you off the stage." Someone threatened from the audience.

"Ha, haha, it won't be an old joke, this time I heard a new story, definitely the latest, it is the latest case of Lord Luce, you must not have heard of it." The troubadour replied with a smile.

As soon as he heard that it was a joke about the new case that Sogrerd had decided, the whole restaurant suddenly became silent. This came as a surprise to those who were not born in France.

Seeing this effect, the troubadour was very proud, and he knew that such a gimmick always worked.

"The beginning of the story is always the same,

A traveler with a unique sword,

The hilt of the sword is decorated with amethyst,

Like his eyes that see through all the darkness

An old cloak of linen on his body,

Walk on the newly renovated road.

…………”

The troubadour sang like this, his own technique was not very good, and the lyrics were quite clumsy. But it was such a crappy performance, but it attracted the attention of almost all the customers present. These traders and travelers may not have much of an artistic element in their own right, but they will be merciless in pointing out the bad stories. Obviously, the case itself as a raw material is so wonderful that even if it is adapted by a third-rate poet, it is still enough to arouse the interest of the pawn peddlers.

"O shrewd man,

Why don't you take advantage of the fact that I have not handed down a verdict against you,

Deliver the money you should repay,

In this way, you will not only keep your credibility,

At the same time, you don't have to lose too much property.

The goodwill of the Traveling Justices was denied,

Because the debtor thinks that his trap is flawless.

O shrewd man,

Do you still admit that you can only pay your debts in February?

Then look up at the clear night sky,

Look down on the clear lake again,

Now that 'February' has it,

Are you prepared to continue to deny your debts?

…………”

"Haha, Lord Luce is so clever that she actually thought of such a way to punish that liar."

"Of course, if it weren't for such a smart person, how could they give us justice. I remember a man once said, 'The bad guys have to be traitorous, and the good guys have to be more traitorous than the bad guys, otherwise how can you cure the bad guys?' Something like that. ”

"Cyodora, what do you think of this story?" Fiona asked.

"What a clumsy show, let's go." Cyodora said, standing up and walking out.

"Boss, pay the bill!" Reinster shouted.

Note 1: In 355, the Farencians began to implement a series of military reforms, including the expansion of the military ranks from the original seven to sixteen (specifically recruits, privates, sergeants, corporals, sergeants, ensigns, lieutenants, captains, majors, lieutenant colonels, colonels, major generals, lieutenant generals, generals, generals, and marshals). This is the origin of the modern military rank system in the continent of Articut.
