Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 192 Travels in Various Countries

The Royal City is the first stop of the journey.

Compared to the southern countries with vast land, sparse population and undeveloped areas in most areas, and the northern countries that have been invaded by demons for many years and have difficulty in development, the Royal City, as the largest city in the central countries, has always been regarded as the center of the world.

The sun shines on the most shining city. With the arrival of morning, the door curtains of shops open little by little, shouts gradually sound, adults get up yawning, and children walk through the streets and alleys with constant laughter.

The nobles were leisurely savoring the fragrance of black tea in their own villas, the common people were busy making their own livings, adventurers of all kinds were looking for teammates to start an adventure, and the bards in the tavern were playing the lute and singing the legendary deeds of the great men.

Luke made a detailed plan in advance. They would first travel around the royal city, then skip the trading city of Barum where they had been living, and go to the Grants Strait to watch the sunrise, admire the magnificent walls of the city fortress Val, and arrive at the Land of Swords to see the legendary Sword of the Brave...

Trela ​​seemed very happy to be back in her old place, with a bright smile on her face. She excitedly held Luke's hand and wandered around, trying on all kinds of peculiarly shaped small ornaments in a jewelry store, and changing into all kinds of new clothes in a clothing store.

Lu Ke cooperated with her silently, feeling a little emotional.

Girls seem to be in god mode when they are shopping and never feel tired.

By noon, Trela ​​finally showed some signs of fatigue, and the two of them found an expensive but stylish restaurant.

The restaurant is clean and bright. The melodious sound of violin echoes in the space. A fresh and pleasant breeze blows in from the window, and special dishes are served one after another.

It was a rare opportunity to try new dishes, so Luke had a good appetite and finished most of the food. Trela, who had a smaller appetite, rested her cheek on her hand after finishing her meal, quietly watching the elf eat slowly.

When everyone had almost finished eating, she suddenly asked a question.

“Is the food in this restaurant better, or is the food I cook better?”

Lu Ke wiped his mouth with a tissue and said calmly, "You cook delicious food."

"Then why do you seem to be eating more delicious food this time than before?"

"Tasting local delicacies is also a very important part of traveling," Lu Ke explained with a strong desire to survive.

Trela's face gradually darkened, and she burst out laughing when Luke became vaguely uneasy.

"Stupid, I just wanted to scare you. Do you think I don't have self-awareness?" Trela ​​lowered her head a little disappointed.

"I really don't have a talent for cooking. I've been doing this for more than ten years and it's still like this. I've really wronged you all these years."

Lu Ke relaxed a little and said comfortingly: "That's not the case. It's much better than the charcoal slag at the beginning. It's still edible."

Trela ​​raised her head and stared at Luke: "You admit that the food in the restaurant is better than what I cook."

Luke: "..."

Luke thought the other party would lose her temper, so he prepared to appease her, but Trela ​​seemed to have forgotten about it and after leaving the restaurant, she started shopping enthusiastically again.

At night, the lights in the royal city lit up little by little. The two walked to the center of the square and stopped in front of a statue of a group of four.

“Whose statue is that?” Tleila asked.

"It should be the sacrificed brave team."

Lu Ke took a look and felt that the statue seemed to be made without much effort and was rather rough, not quite like the standard that should be given to a brave man who had made great contributions and died heroically in battle.

"Will there be a statue of you?" Trela ​​winked at him. "You are quite famous."

"If there is, it should be in the Magic Association branch." Luke didn't know either, so he made a random guess, and then was dragged away by Trela ​​in a hurry.

In front of the gate of the Magic Association branch, there stands an exquisite statue. It is an elf wearing a monocle and a robe, holding a magic book in his hand. He exudes an elegant temperament, and there is a line of labels below.

[In memory of Luke, the father of modern magic——Zane]

There was something inexplicably strange about seeing his own statue while still alive, and Luke's gaze stayed on "Zane" for a few seconds before silently moving away.

The senior who said "There is no need for a magic association that would make magicians feel disappointed" passed away a year ago, and Lu Ke took the time to attend his funeral.

“Yeah, there really is one.”

Trela's voice brought Luke back to his senses. His eyes moved slightly, and then he held his forehead in silence.

Trela ​​looked around for a while, and after making sure that there was no one nearby, she touched a certain part of the statue in a sneaky manner, and then commented on it from the perspective of a professional master.

"Totally unacceptable. The details are not well handled. What's the point of a bulge? Bad review."

"Be normal!"

For the first time, Luke couldn't bear to look at his wife's behavior because of shame. After marriage, Trella had behaved very generously and properly, but how come she let go of her true nature once she left the mansion?

As if she heard his inner voice, Trela ​​curled her lips and said, "If I don't go crazy now, I'll be old. When I become an old woman, I won't even be able to go crazy when I want to."

"You're only thirty, you're far from old."

"When I was eighteen, I never thought I would be thirty all of a sudden." Trela ​​came over, pulled Luke's face hard, and spoke with a smile.

"Especially since my husband is still as fair and tender as before."

“…Don’t use those weird adjectives.”

Luke let go of Trela's hand and turned to walk towards the hotel. "We've seen enough. We'll continue our tour tomorrow. Let's go back and rest first."

Behind her, Trela's smile slowly faded. She stared at Luke's back, stunned for a few seconds, and then slowly followed him. ...

After touring the royal city and staying there for a while, the two arrived at their next stop, the Grand Strait.

This place is close to Luke's hometown trading city of Barum and the seaside, with abundant aquatic products and many merchants coming and going.

The coastline has a wide view and excellent scenery. The beautiful sunrise is highly praised. It is said that countless couples have met because of watching the sunrise together.

Neither Trela ​​nor Luke were the type who couldn't get out of bed, so they both saw the famous sunrise smoothly.

The rising sun is beautifully reflected against the sea surface, and the clouds in the sky are dyed pink, orange and purple, like a gorgeous painting, warm and gentle.

"It's quite nice, it's worth the trip."

Trela ​​admired it for a while, then felt her skirt being tugged. She looked down and saw a cute little girl holding a flower basket. She picked up a flower and started selling it in a baby voice.

"Pretty sister, buy a flower. My flower is as pretty as yours. Putting it in your bedroom will make you feel good for the whole day."

"What a cute little guy."

Trela ​​smiled and touched the little girl's head. Just as she took out the money, she saw the little girl put the flowers back in her hand and stared at Luke beside her.

The little girl handed the flower basket to Lu Ke with a red face, and looked at Lu Ke with a serious expression when he looked puzzled.

"My handsome brother, I will give you all the flowers. When I grow up, I will be your bride, okay?"

Before Luke could say anything, Trela ​​smiled and hugged him.

"Don't even think about it, kid, he's already mine."

I actually thought this kid was cute just now, but now upon closer inspection, he's actually a scheming little fox!
The little girl ran away angrily, but before leaving she shouted "bad auntie."

These three words were like a bolt from the blue that froze Trela ​​in place. “Bad” didn’t matter, but the word “Auntie” almost made her faint.

The wonderful mood of watching the sunrise was gone, and I felt very uncomfortable throughout the whole process.

Seeing that she was not in good condition, Lu Ke helped her back to the hotel to rest.

Trela ​​collapsed on the bed, looking at Luke with tears in her eyes, "I'm not very old, am I?"

"How is thirty old?"

"I felt so before, but when that little girl called me like that, I felt so depressed." Trela ​​covered her chest, seeming to be particularly uncomfortable.

"Am I already ugly?"

Lu Ke rarely took the initiative to kiss her lips, "Don't think too much, you are more beautiful than before."

"I don't believe it." Trela ​​blinked at him. The pain she had just felt seemed to have disappeared. She smiled with a look of triumph. "Unless you prove it to me."

Luke: ...

Sometimes he really couldn't tell whether Trela ​​really felt a sense of crisis or just wanted to trick him into bed.

Perhaps because this place left her with bad memories, Trela ​​clamored to go to the next location the next day.

Stopping and walking along the way, they created a huge beautiful flower field on the outskirts of Brad, admired the lush forest in the Fore Basin, attended a celebration at Willey's, and Luke also helped clean up several monsters nearby.

If you can learn to enjoy life while traveling, time will pass faster.

By the time they arrived in Val, two years had passed.

The city fortress Val is the dividing line between the central kingdoms and the northern kingdoms. When the demons still existed, this was a very dangerous area and no one was allowed to pass through.

In recent years, as the demons retreated to Erde and the northern countries began to recover, this route naturally became open.

The majestic fortress looked particularly spectacular. There were dozens of soldiers on the city wall wearing armor and holding swords, still guarding their posts. They looked mighty from afar.

"Wow, that looks amazing."

Trela ​​looked at the towering city wall and exclaimed, "No wonder the demons couldn't cross this line before."

Lu Ke watched from a distance and said, "It just looks deceptive. The soldiers have already relaxed a long time ago."

"Without the threat of external enemies, the number of troops has been reduced significantly, and those who remain are also poorly trained. I am afraid that they will become even more loose and fragile in the future."

At this point, Lu Ke shook his head. "It's become like this in less than ten years. If the demons make trouble again, I'm afraid I can only pray for the goddess's protection."

While reading a textbook a while ago, Lu Ke discovered that the description of demons had changed from "emotionless beasts that are good at disguise and deception" to "emotionless humanoid creatures that pose a certain threat."

He said calmly: "Time changes everything."

After hearing this, Trela ​​turned sideways to look at her husband who was looking into the distance, and added silently.

except you.
