On the first day of July, Ger came to the Alazo Bridge again.
Geer had been here three times before.
When they first came, due to the traitor in the team, Gal and Sophia had a very exciting and thrilling journey, which is still unforgettable for them, especially the little monkey who has become lively and active around them, which constantly reminds them.
Things that happened in the past.
The second and third times were spent on the march, coming and going in a hurry, leaving no trace except the somewhat annoying water vapor.
This visit to the Alazo Bridge may be the last time for a long time.
The Alaso Bridge is still filled with water vapor and smoke, but compared with the previous few times when there were almost no people walking this road, there are obviously a lot more people on the bridge now. Ever since I heard about the original Kolbenson
The territory became a royal territory and large-scale construction began. Merchants with a keen sense of smell drove oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages to transport cartloads of supplies to Winterset Castle, while the people received large-scale gifts from the Colbenson Territory.
With the news of recruitment, people who were not satisfied with the meager harvest from digging in the fields also began to go to Winterset Castle to look for opportunities, causing the route from Mora City to Winterset Castle to be extremely busy.
A few days ago, when Geer passed through the small town of Moria, which is closest to Winterset Castle, he discovered that the originally barren town had undergone tremendous changes. It was densely populated with people and many vendors, and many new things suddenly appeared on the edge of the town.
The temporary simple housing shows that the town can no longer bear the sudden increase in population. I heard that the town of Moria has been listed as a key town for expansion. Maybe the next time Geer and the others come back, they will no longer be able to recognize it.
This is the place.
The people who went to Saint-Lotalo with Geer this time included all the members of the Korbenson family, the former butler of Winterset Castle, Little Miller, who was laid off just after taking office, and his gardener father, as well as some people who were willing to go with Geer and the others.
Among the servant soldiers who left together, Geer was a little surprised by Bert, the former deputy instructor of the Knight Battalion, and his family. He was also the only knight-level combatant who was willing to follow Geer. You must know that his two soldiers in the Knight Battalion
After Geer handed over the rights of Winterset Castle to the royal family, his colleagues immediately turned to embrace the royal family. After all, one was the royal family and the other was a baron. Most people knew which one to choose.
But since this silent middle-aged man is willing to take his whole family to follow him, Geer will not treat him badly. Now Bert is the captain of the guard of the Cobenson family.
Guang Geer's people filled five carriages, plus Prince Philip's men and horses, the entire team had a total of more than ten carriages, dragging a long row on the road, plus the people who kept riding horses next to them.
The cavalry looked extremely eye-catching.
Geer sat in the carriage, leaning against the carriage, his body swaying with the shaking of the carriage.
The ticking sound of horse hooves outside the carriage mixed with the noisy voices came in. In addition, it was almost noon, and the blazing sunshine was grilling the carriage, transferring the heat in, making the entire interior of the carriage begin to heat up, making it a little boring.
.
However, the situation improved a lot after the carriage drove onto the Alazo Bridge. The unique natural environment with abundant water vapor caused the temperature of the carriage to drop suddenly, and the sound of the torrent hitting the rock wall also covered those disturbing sounds.
It instantly lifted people's spirits.
The gauze covering the car window was suddenly pushed aside, and colorful light refracted by the water vapor poured into the car. A small black shadow took advantage of the situation and got in.
"Wipe it clean!"
Geer's deep voice startled the dark figure, and his body trembled so that the wet hair on his body began to tremble. He immediately obediently picked up the dry towel hanging by the car window and wiped himself.
Alex, the little will-o'-the-wisp monkey adopted by Sophia.
Looking at the small water droplets that kept shaking out with Alex's wiping movements, Geer frowned, closed the documents in his hands and put them aside.
Picking up the wine glass on the side, it contains wine that Prince Philip brought when he sent someone to deliver documents not long ago. It has been kept in a thermos box filled with crushed ice. Now he takes a sip and feels cool.
Digging straight into my heart, the heat in my body immediately dissipated a lot.
Looking at my own condition, I saw that the original temporary bonus had disappeared. However, because I had been maintaining high-intensity training, my physical attributes were improved a lot compared to before, especially my mental attributes were still at the level after the bonus.
Status. Although it is much worse than the previous strength that was close to that of a great knight, and it has not even reached the physical standards of an ordinary knight, but combined with sword skills, it is still possible to compete with the average knight level.
As long as he maintains this level of training intensity, Geer believes that it won't take long to return to the knight level or even reach the state of temporary bonus.
After drying his hair, Alex looked at Geer. After seeing that he didn't respond, he carefully ran to Sophia, who was sitting opposite Geer, found a good position, curled up, and began to rest.
Sophia, who was beside Alex, was leaning on the carriage and sleeping soundly, not feeling the movement of the little monkey next to her at all.
Geer tested Sophia and found that she was not suitable for learning martial arts, so he gave up the idea of training her into a martial arts talent. He just asked her to learn basic breathing methods to improve her physical fitness. However, basic breathing methods cannot be continued continuously.
For practice, it usually takes half an hour to practice at a time, and then you must enter the recovery period, which can be practiced up to twice a day. At other times, the organs and tissues in the body must be rested, otherwise the organs and tissues in the body will be damaged due to accumulated fatigue.
This is the confrontation of one's own power against one's own body.
Under Geer's supervision these days, Sophia continued the basic breathing methods Geer taught her when she was in good health. After completing the prescribed exercises, she began to study alchemy. The price of her efforts was fatigue, so she fell asleep on the carriage.
This has happened several times.
Geer nodded slightly, picked up the document on one side again, and studied it carefully.
After the incident at Garro Manor, Geer gave the badge he got from the mysterious woman to Tavren and asked him to find out the answer. It has been a long time now, and Geer still thought that Taflan
Lun could not find out, and then the relevant information was finally sent over.
"The Priory...Amber..."
Geer's fingertips moved slowly on the paper, his eyes looking at the document, but his eyes were blank. It was obvious that he had entered a state of deep thought.
According to the information given by Tafren, this badge is the symbol of a senior member of Amber, an organization affiliated with the Priory. The women in Amber are codenamed by flowers, and the men are codenamed by trees. Those in charge of espionage and assassination
Such work can be regarded as the strongest hand of the Priory in the darkness.
In recent years, as the Brotherhood of Steel has become increasingly powerful, it has had many conflicts with the Priory in various aspects, and there have been many opportunities to deal with Amber. However, senior members of Amber rarely appear, and the Brotherhood of Steel still has little regard for them.
Lack of understanding.
After introducing Amber, the back of the document was filled with some cases in recent years that were definitely made by Amber. The documents were filled in so densely that you could even faintly smell the smell of blood emanating from these words.
"Amber?" A flash of light flashed in Geer's eyes. The thumb and index finger of his right hand came together, pinched up the badge representing amber that Tafren had returned, and raised it to his eyes.
After watching for a while, Geer smiled, then stretched out his right hand from the car window and let go.
The oval-shaped badge bounced on the ground a few times, and was finally stepped on by the hoof of a horse.
Click.
This badge, which had been judged to be made of a special kind of amber, turned into powder under the horse's hooves. Soon after, a gust of wind blew by, and all the powder disappeared without a trace.
…
After several days, Ger and Prince Philip arrived in the city of Mora.
The city remains the same, but the owner has changed.
On behalf of all the nobles in the city of Mora, Viscount Elvis Crookson came to meet Prince Philip and his party, arranged accommodation for them, and invited them to attend a dinner specially held for them at the Moon Bay Hotel, the best hotel in the city of Mora.
Of course, the Kolbensons are not very popular. Because of the murder of Earl Carter, most of the local nobles in Mora City have a strong sense of rejection towards the Kolbensons. If it were not for the Kolbens
The Mori family and Prince Philip came together, and probably what came to greet Geer and the others were groups of heavily armed soldiers.
Although they cannot avoid Geer and the others now, the local nobles in Mora City try their best to ignore the Cobensons, keeping a certain distance and using indifference to fight against Geer.
Unlike those local nobles, Viscount Ives had a good attitude towards Geer. Not only did he greet him with greetings, but he also chatted nonchalantly for a while. The atmosphere was quite lively.
After arriving at the accommodation, Avis resigned on behalf of the nobles, giving the group who were tired from the journey some rest.
Because Prince Philip was old and lacked energy, he went to rest first as soon as he arrived at the accommodation. Geer went directly back to the room assigned to him. The rest was done by the housekeeper Xiao Miller and Sophia's mother Mrs. Talia.
It will be processed naturally.
As soon as Geer entered the room, Sophia followed with two maids and began to clean the room.
Gale ignored them, sat down on the chair next to the desk, and began to look at the gold-plated invitation in his hand, which was the dinner invitation that Viscount Ives had just sent personally.
"Sofia." Geer stopped Sophia who was cleaning the room with the maid.
"Huh? Brother?"
"You can accompany me to the banquet tonight."
Sophia turned her head and stared blankly at Geer's face for a while, then showed a bright smile: "Okay."
