Chapter 32 Arrival in Philadelphia
Ye Xian applied some medicine to Scarlett's wound, then bandaged her briefly, and sat next to her, "Is this far from Philadelphia?"
"It's not far. With my speed as an intermediate warrior, I can reach it in two days."
Ye Xian sighed briefly, "I'm about to go to Philadelphia. We can go together. Let's rest here tonight and set off again tomorrow."
Scarlett naturally had no objection. She nodded obediently and suddenly thought of her injured leg.
When she goes on the road tomorrow, her injuries will definitely not recover, so she will definitely drag Ye Xian down.
No matter what, she will jump back to Philadelphia even if she jumps on one leg.
Of course Ye Xian would not let the wounded go alone. The next day, she bowed slightly in front of Scarlett, then patted her shoulder and said, "Come up."
Scarlett was startled for a moment, then shook her head wildly, "No, it's too much trouble for you, I can leave by myself."
After saying that, in order to prove herself, she stubbornly jumped on the spot twice on one leg.
Ye Xian:......
"Okay, I've been waiting for you to come to Philadelphia for at least half a month."
Under Ye Xian's strong request, Scarlett finally bit her lip and lay on Ye Xian's back.
Ye Xian's shoulders were not strong, and were even a little thin, but they brought an indescribable sense of security to Scarlett, and a pink glow quietly appeared on her cheeks.
"Hold on tight."
Ye Xian said something, his legs suddenly exerted force, and he flew more than ten meters in the blink of an eye.
Scarlett's narrow fox eyes widened slightly, and her fingers couldn't help but squeeze Ye Xian's clothes tightly.
What a fast speed.
Only then did Scarlett realize belatedly that this seemingly slender girl actually possessed such terrifying explosive power in her body.
Thinking back to the scene where the other party flung away the five villains in an understatement, Scarlett's heart surged, and her admiration for Ye Xian deepened.
Scarlett said that at her speed, she could reach Philadelphia in two days.
But after only one day and night, Scarlett saw the outline of Philadelphia in the distance.
"Axian, look, Philadelphia is ahead."
Near the outskirts of Hazy Moon Forest, there are few trees and more calf-high weeds, so the view is wide.
It was a city built of pitch-black boulders, huge and solemn, like an ancient ferocious beast, guarding the outskirts of the Hazy Moon Forest.
"Although Philadelphia is in the most remote part of the Aslan Empire, it is the most prosperous city in the Aslan Empire besides the royal city. A large number of warriors come in and out every day, so many large chambers of commerce have their bases in Philadelphia."
Ye Xian nodded lightly. The situation in Philadelphia was very similar to that of Yiyue City. Both cities were built on the basis of the Misty Moon Forest. Their main economic pillars were the warriors who came and went and the magical beasts in the Misty Moon Forest.
Thinking of the mountains of Warcraft materials in her storage bracelet, Ye Xian couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth. After getting rid of them all, she should be able to buy a lot of what she wants.
Half an hour later, Ye Xian and Scarlett arrived at the gate of Philadelphia, where they could more clearly see the traces of erosion over time on the walls of Philadelphia, as well as the claw marks and tooth marks left by many monsters.
Apparently this city has gone through many dangerous battles and is still standing.
Scarlett noticed Ye Xian's eyes and continued to explain, "These traces were left when the monsters besieged the city two hundred years ago. That time Philadelphia was almost destroyed. In the end, a Lord Martial Emperor took action and finally resolved the crisis."
Ye Xian originally wanted to ask the Emperor Wu's name, but he saw the soldiers guarding the city gate looking at her in astonishment, no, to be more precise, looking at Scarlett on her back.
"S-Miss Scarlett, are you still alive?"
The defenders trotted forward, staring directly at Scarlett.
Scarlett frowned. Normally, she would have felt offended, but now she was more concerned about what the other person just said, and she still had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Do you know me? Also, what did you mean by what you just said?"
"You are Miss Scarlett of the Howard family. There are a few people in Philadelphia who don't know you." The soldier guarding the city first smiled ingratiatingly, then hesitantly said, "Yesterday, Master Brian came back from outside covered in blood and said
,explain……"
Scarlett urged, "What did he say?"
"He said that you were attacked by a level 4 monster in the Forest of Obscure Moon yesterday. You were unfortunately killed and buried in the beast's mouth. He was the only one who escaped by chance. After he said this, he fainted. Many people saw it at that time.
.”
The words of the defenders made Scarlett so angry that she almost broke a silver tooth.
Damn Brian, you're dead!
"You did a great job. Come to the Howard family tomorrow to receive the reward."
"Thank you, Miss Scarlett."
The soldiers guarding the city were filled with joy and thanked them repeatedly, thankful that they had made the right bet.
The most important thing for a low-level city defender like him is to know how to observe people's actions.
Although he didn't know much about the disputes within the Howard family, he could always make some guesses from the news coming from north to south every day.
Now the head of the Howard family, Lord Andrew, has only one daughter, Miss Scarlett.
In other words, as long as nothing happens, the huge property of the Marquis Palace will be inherited by Miss Scarlett alone. How can people not be jealous of this?
As for what happened today, it is even more strange. It is said that the "dead" Miss Scarlett came back alive from the Forest of Hazy Moon. What Master Brian said before is naturally a rumor, so his purpose...
The soldier guarding the city quickly put an end to his suspicions. He, a small soldier, had better not get involved in the matters between the big shots.
"Axian, let's go back to the Marquis Mansion quickly. My father must have been heartbroken when he heard the news of my death."
Scarlett returns home like an arrow.
In addition to worrying about her old father, she was also afraid that Brian would play other tricks.
"good."
Ye Xian followed Scarlett's guidance and carried her to the Marquis Mansion in the city.
The strange combination of the two attracted a lot of attention.
The second floor of the restaurant.
The middle-aged man leaning against the window had just taken a sip of water, and when he glanced out inadvertently, the water in his mouth almost spurted out.
"Cough, cough, cough!" He coughed and stared at the direction the two were leaving, "Isn't that Scarlett from the Howard family? Isn't she dead? Why is she alive again?"
The blue-haired man sitting opposite him also had a flash of surprise in his eyes, and then a playful smile appeared on his face, "The Howard family is busy."
"How do you say it?" the middle-aged man asked enthusiastically.
"On my way here just now, I saw some old guys from the Howard family leading Brian to the Marquis Mansion."
The Howard family's affairs are no secret among Philadelphia's upper echelons.
If Scarlett really dies unexpectedly, no matter how angry Andrew is, he has to think about his family. But Scarlett is not dead, so no one knows what crazy actions Andrew, who regards women as his fate, will do.
