A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 144. Chapter 144

After asking the old village chief carefully about the girl he met, Heimos went to find a woman who had been rescued from the thief and asked about the black-haired girl’s appearance.

“Yes, she is very beautiful, she is like the incarnation of the beauty god Afdomir, and she is also very, very handsome, much more powerful than those damn robbers—”

At the mention of the dark-haired girl, the woman kept talking excitedly.

She had never seen such a beautiful girl in her life, and that girl was not only beautiful, but also so powerful that she could hardly look forward to it and yearn for it.

As the young woman talked endlessly, Huimos and Kayjos glanced at each other.

That’s right, that’black-haired girl’ is Garland.

No wonder he was able to pass through the tightly sealed city gates, no wonder the guards sent by King Camos could not detect his news. It turned out that he not only dyed his hair black, but also modified it directly, pretending to be a girl and escaped their sight.

Once it was confirmed that it was Garland, the two knights turned on their horses without delay for a second without saying a word, and after asking the old village chief’s black-haired girl the direction in which they were leaving, they quickly chased after him.

Both of them were silent while the horse was galloping.

However, after a while, Huimos couldn’t help but speak.

“The one with Garlan…Who is that bard?”

He asked Kaihuos.

As the guardian knight of Garlan, Kaihus should know the details of everyone around Garlan.

Kaihus was silent for a moment.

He said, “I don’t know.”

The voice of the knight of the scorching sun is rarely very good at this time.

But this is not against Heimos. The reason for his bad tone is probably the same as the reason Heimos couldn’t help asking.

——Someone they didn’t know was following Garlan.

Huimos didn’t say anything anymore, but at this time he seemed to have a tacit understanding with Kayjos, once again speeding up the galloping horse under him at the same time.

They galloped in the direction the old village head pointed. If the old village head pointed the way correctly and the time was correct, they would be able to catch up with Garlan by tonight at the latest.

As a commoner, the old village chief certainly didn’t dare to deceive these two knights who were distinguished at a glance, so he didn’t point the wrong way, and the time was right. However, Garlan took the wrong path at first, and now, under the leadership of a certain bard, he has changed his direction and embarked on the right path.

And Huimos and the others were asking about a black-haired girl and a bard along the way… But at this moment, Garlan had changed back to his teenage attire, and his hair was washed back to blonde.

Another key point is that the traces of Garlan and Shuros’s overnight stay have been cleaned up by the experienced bard before leaving, and Huimos, who was eager to chase people, did not find them.

then……

It’s a pity…

inevitable……

The knight of the scorching sun and the black knight of hell chased in the wrong direction.

They could have intercepted Garlan on this day, and once again passed by Garlan.

…………

……………………

Gallan, who didn’t know that he was almost intercepted, followed Shuros all the way forward. After seeing this for several days, no one was chasing him, he was immediately relieved.

As long as he had not been found a few days ago, no one would be able to figure out his own movement. After all, even he himself didn’t know where he planned to go next.

On such a vast continent, it is very difficult to find a person who deliberately avoids. When Brother Wang and Heimos have searched for themselves for a period of time, they will naturally give up when they find that they can’t find it.

As soon as he let go of the worry in his heart, Garlan felt a lot easier, and looked forward to the future path more and more.

Tweelul Mountain is only the first stop on his journey, and in the future, he still has many, many places he wants to go.

At noon that day, they found a flat place on the roadside to temporarily stop to rest.

Shuluos shot down a few birds, which were roasting by the fire at the moment, preparing to bring them for lunch. He has been walking on the mainland for a long time. Although he can usually stay and eat in towns, he also spends a lot of time sleeping in the wild, so he has long developed the ability to barbecue.

In Gallan’s eyes, it was only a little bit worse than the chef Wang Brothers imperially used.

Carrying a bunch of dead wood sticks back, Gallan had already smelled the tempting aroma of barbecued meat.

He walked over and put the dead wood branches into the fire one by one.

In the past few days, it really made him blush. Whether it was looking for a place to sleep, lighting a fire, or hunting barbecues, Shulos did it alone. He also tried to help, but it was only a bad help. .

However, Shuluos did not dislike him.

Although he would taunt him unceremoniously every time he messed up, but then I will teach him how to do it.

Therefore, over the past few days, he has learned a lot of things he didn’t know before.

Sitting down by the fire, Garlan looked at the flames in a daze.

Sure enough, he still thought too simple.

The difference between life in the wild and life in the palace is more than a thousand miles.

If it wasn’t for luck to meet this experienced bard, he would definitely have suffered a lot these days.

he thinks.

He had to learn more about traveling to the mainland from Shu Luos. After all, he couldn’t always let Shu Luos take care of him. Sooner or later, the two would have to be separated. Then he would have to rely on himself.

Just when Gallan was in a trance, a roasted yellow bird handed it to his eyes. The roasted bird was dressed in a sharpened branch, black sauce was applied on it, and the enticing aroma came out. .

He took the branch and smiled at Shuros.

“thanks.”

Shuros looked at the brightly smiling young man and began to eat. He turned his gaze back and took a bite of the barbecue himself.

Speaking of it, he himself is a bit puzzled. He has never been the kind of nosy person. It should be said that he is actually a person who doesn’t like trouble. If it is the trouble caused by a beautiful woman, he can still accept it, but if the other party is a man, he will not take a second look at all.

The boy who was leaping at home was in total trouble now, but he didn’t have any thoughts of leaving him alone.

After thinking about it, Shuros felt that it was probably because of the boy’s face.

That face is so good-looking, even if it is not a girl, as long as he smiles at him, as a faithful believer of Afdomir, he can’t bear to abandon this young man.

Moreover, although this young man was obviously a young master from aristocratic background, he did not seem to have the aura of those aristocratic grandfathers’ arrogance.

If this aristocratic teenager really enjoyed his care unceremoniously, no matter how good-looking he was, he would leave without saying goodbye-he was not a servant of the aristocratic uncle.

However, this young master would not take his care of him for granted. He would thank him very seriously every time, and he would also work hard to learn from him the skills and experience of survival in the wild. Obviously, the teenager has no plan to rely on him all the time.

Well, so be it.

Although this spoiled little young master is a bit clumsy… but he is so clumsy that it doesn’t make people feel annoying, and with that face, it makes people feel pretty cute.

Shuros thought.

He pretended to have picked up a small milk cat that sneaked out. Since it looks cute, it doesn’t matter if he raises it first.

While thinking about this, he ate the roasted bird and started chatting casually.

“I said, Gal, are you a lower-level nobleman?”

“Um.”

Gallan hummed, there is nothing to hide, it should be easy to tell that he is a nobleman.

Coupled with his skin color, most people would think he is a lower-level nobleman.

“Why run away from home?”

Asked the bard who was quite gossip.

“Why, got angry at home? You were bullied? But depending on your skill, no one can bully you?”

“No, the people in my family… are very kind to me.”

Shuluos started to have a big brain.

“Did you get fancy by the daughter of some superior nobleman? You forced the marriage, and you didn’t like her, so you escaped?” He asked enthusiastically, “Why, is the daughter of that nobleman look very good? Ugly? It’s hard to see that you would rather give up your status as a nobleman to escape from marriage?”

Gallan was startled, then laughed.

“you think too much.”

He said with a smile.

Shuluos, who could not hear the gossip, let out a pity.

“Since there is nothing, why are you running out?”

Gallan thought for a while.

He said: “Our family has a big family business, and now my brother is in charge of it, but he has no children, so he wanted to pass the family business to me. I didn’t want it, so I ran out.”

Gallan’s words caused Shuros who had just taken a bite of bird meat to choke.

He didn’t pay attention to the fragrant barbecue on his mouth, with a face of disbelief, and looked at Garlan with a foolish look.

“I said you are stupid?” He said what he was thinking very bluntly. “If you put a good family business and don’t inherit, if you put a lot of glory and wealth, don’t enjoy it, but run out of the house and sleep, I said your mind is Isn’t there a problem?”

If this is replaced by someone else, it must be happily to accept that great family business.

Even if there is no right of inheritance, one must try to snatch the family business.

This kid escaped to avoid inheriting the family business?

Shuros asked: “Don’t you want to inherit that family business?”

“Actually I really want to inherit.”

“…”

What are you running?

Shuros thought.

I’m afraid this kid is really stupid.

“Although I really want to, but I don’t have that qualification…I…”

Garlan seemed to not know what to say, and stopped after a few words.

“Qualifications? What qualifications? Your elder brother wants you to be eligible for succession. What else is needed besides that?”

“…My purpose… the purpose I want to inherit the family business… is completely different from my brother and other people.”

Gallan hesitated.

“I don’t want to inherit it because I want to inherit it.”

“Wait… what does it mean, “I don’t want to inherit but want to inherit”?”

Shuros felt that he couldn’t understand Garlan’s rapport at all, so he couldn’t help asking.

But after Garlan said this, he closed his mouth and ate the roasted bird wholeheartedly, obviously not wanting to continue the topic.

Although Shuluos was a little curious, he had never had the habit of forcing people. He shrugged and put the topic aside.

After eating roasted birds and dried noodles for lunch, the two got up after a short rest.

Galan first started to clean up the traces of their food, Shuros watched from the side. After Gallan finished cleaning up, he started to clean up the remaining traces that Gallan hadn’t noticed, and at the same time told Gallan what to pay attention to.

While Shuros was speaking, Garland was listening carefully.

Shuluos looked at the young man who listened to him obediently, and he felt a sense of accomplishment and joy that he was a good teacher.

“It’s not far from Twyllul City, it’s faster, we can get there before it gets completely dark.”

The city of Twyllul is at the foot of the Twyllul Mountain, hence its name.

Shuluos said: “After sleeping out for two or three days, you can enjoy it when you enter the city.”

“Really?”

Hearing this, Garlan showed a happy expression. He said, “Shulos, I have to rely on you to eat barbecue these days. Otherwise, I can only eat bread. How about asking you to eat? You can eat whatever you want.”

The boy’s words made Shuluos startled, and then smiled slightly.

“OK.”

He smiled and said, that smile came from the heart.

The more I get along with Garlan, the more I feel that this boy is different from ordinary nobles.

Although Shuros is only a bard, but over the years, with his excellent archery skills and singing voice, he has encountered many nobles, and even aristocrats who are adventurous companions, but like Gallan… …It was really the first time he saw him.

It was obvious that he was of noble origin at a glance, but this young man did not have any bad temperament that nobles were used to.

For example, just now, he was in charge of cooking along the way, and other nobles would take it for granted. A noble with a better personality would give him some money. They thought it was approachable, but no matter how nice they were, In fact, this behavior is still consciously superior.

But Garlan did not do this, but only said that he would treat him to a big meal, just like a true equal friend.

How should I put it… Really a special noble young master.

But there is a problem with the brain.

The horse ran all afternoon, and by the end of the evening, it was already close to the city of Tweeul.

At this moment, they were running halfway up the mountain. The area was covered with mountains and forests. Shuluos said that he would go around the first two mountains to reach the city.

Gallan was looking forward to it. After sleeping on the ground for several days and sleeping on the floor every day, he also wanted to have a comfortable bed for him to have a good rest.

However, just as they were about to bypass the mountain, a noisy sound suddenly came from below, mixed with crying and crying of grief.

Garlan looked down subconsciously and saw a group of people entangled on the mountain road below. Among them was a group of soldiers in military uniforms who tied some young men and women with ropes to drag them away, while the other middle-aged people. Or the elderly are begging for something from the lead team.

Following the direction Garlan was looking at, Shuros also glanced at it, then faintly retracted his gaze.

“Don’t be nosy.”

He said, “Especially when it comes to official matters, it will be very troublesome.”

“But……”

“Either debt collection or other reasons. Anyway, these soldiers must have obeyed the orders of the officials. Even if these people look pitiful, this is a common thing. You will get used to seeing more in the future.”

“…”

Gallan was startled.

Suddenly, the cry below became more and more severe.

He looked down and saw that the soldiers had already started beating, even the swords were drawn out, he frowned, and pulled the reins to try to run away.

However, after just running a few times, he was stopped by Shuros who was also sprinting.

The black horse that was suddenly blocked by Garlan raised his front hoofs high and let out a neigh.

“I said, it will make your body troublesome, don’t you understand?”

Shuros’s usual leisurely tone became severe.

“… But since I saw it, I couldn’t leave it alone.”

“Really? So have you ever thought that you and I are walking together, as long as you do this, you will get involved with me. You want to help those people, but I don’t want to, why would you bring me? trouble?”

Shuros said indifferently.

“Or do you take it for granted that as long as you rush past, I will be kidnapped by you and rushed down together?”

After traveling the mainland for so many years, he has long been accustomed to seeing life and death and human feelings. He was able to live so long because he rarely got nosy.

He had already imagined that this young nobleman and young master scolded himself for his cold-blooded appearance.

Gallan glanced at him.

“you are right.”

“……what?”

“That’s what I want to do, not what you want to do, I shouldn’t involve you in it.”

The boy said, reaching out in front of him.

Shuros raised his hand subconsciously, and three Aaron silver coins fell into his hand.

“I said I would treat you to a meal, but now it seems that we must be separated here, Shuros, thank you for your care these days.”

Gallan said, “If you turn around and leave now, no one will find you here, and you won’t be involved in this trouble.”

After speaking, Gallan pulled on the reins, passed Shuros’s side, and galloped down.

The bard who was left behind, holding a few silver coins in his hand, rode on the spot with a look of astonishment.

No, wait.

Shouldn’t you now either denounce me for my cold-bloodedness, or give me reasons to try to influence me, or ask me to ask me to make my heart feel relieved and go together.

Of course, no matter which method you use, I will not pay any attention to it, and even sneer at you.

But what do you mean by simply making me turn around and run away?

Didn’t you do this–

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Shuluos: Young master, can you follow the routine once? I can’t pick you up like this.
