Arad's Sword

Chapter 103 Rose Mountain City
A few days later, a seemingly ordinary black four-winged carriage, escorted by a group of seemingly ordinary mercenaries, quietly passed through the territory of the Asrex family.

The convoy headed south, bypassing Hutton Mar, until it entered the territory of the Hamilton family.

The Hamilton family, the leader of the Queen's Faction, is the largest veteran family in the Principality.

Its territory is located in the southern part of the Principality of Belle Mare, with convenient transportation, extending in all directions, and an extremely vast territory. It borders the territory of the Seth family in the north, and the Sea of ​​​​Storm in the south. It has a large port and is between Faroe Bay in the east echo each other.

Backed by the mountains and the sea, with a vast territory, rich land, and a large population, this is the territory of the most prominent wealthy family in the Principality.

Not only that, it only took half a day to travel from the Hamilton family to the capital Hutton Mar.Most of the time, the Iron-Blooded Duke will directly give advice in Hutton Marr. Therefore, many people think that the so-called capital of the principality is nothing but the possession of the Hamilton family.

And in the center of this vast and noble territory, there is a city that is not too prosperous, but has a certain ancient elegance——

Rose Mountain City.

This is the heart of the Hamilton family.

Here is the birthplace of Fina Hamilton.

"Ever since I defeated my magic teacher who had always had a high opinion of me with an overwhelming advantage when I was seven years old, and was appointed by my grandfather as the first heir of the family, this Rose Mountain City has become my enemy." Looking at the distant sky, the outline of the ancient city wall gradually appeared, Fina's voice sounded faintly in the carriage.

Although it is only a short sentence, Midi can easily imagine the pressure that a child who is only ten years old will bear after being designated as the first heir in such a large and intricate family .

Perhaps the majesty of the Iron-Blooded Duke is enough to suppress all objections.Perhaps the strength of the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke is enough to protect Fina from all kinds of ambushes and assassinations.But that's all.

Gossip, cold-eyed onlookers, isolation, hostility, verbal violence and attitude attacks, all of which Fina had to bear by herself, no matter how strong a shield or tall wall was, they could not resist the attacks of these invisible things.

Even Fina's parents may not have a good face.

After all, inheriting the family directly from the Iron-Blooded Duke meant that Fina skipped over a whole generation, skipped over everyone in her parents' generation, and directly destroyed all their hopes and ambitions.

However, in the tone of the red-haired girl, there was neither anger nor sadness, nor even loneliness.

On the contrary, for some reason, there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she said: "However, this is also a good thing. After all, a genius is a genius, and the strong are strong. If there is not so much pressure, I am afraid that I will not be able to reach this level now." level, in that case, there is no way to stand shoulder to shoulder with you..."

The girl who was always heroic and valiant showed a rare trace of youthfulness and weakness, and a slight blush appeared on her fair face.

This is a confession, right?
This is definitely a confession!
Looking at the girl's slightly shy expression, Midi was a little crazy for a moment.He wanted to say something, but suddenly found that his throat became extremely dry, and thousands of words were held in his chest, and he couldn't even speak for a while.

"After all, if you can't even catch up with you, then let alone the black guy." The girl added this sentence very timely, as if a big bucket of cold water was poured on her head, igniting Midi just now. The mood was poured thoroughly.

The black guy naturally refers to Alice.

In this operation, Alice stayed behind at the Eagle's Nest.

Midi suddenly understood that if the opponent she was competing with was not there, Fina would not have uttered such emotional words.

Although this is indeed a confession, it is probably not at the level of love.Moreover, Fina was even more scruples about Alice, which also made Midi a little bit apprehensive.

In your eyes, am I not a man worth being ashamed of?And when did your relationship with Alice become so good that you started talking good things behind your back instead of bad things?
Midi slandered in her heart.

However, looking at Fina's smile that turned from shy to mischievous, Midi felt that after going through so many common battles and creating so many common memories, now, she and Fina should at least be more than friends, Is it a relationship that is not full of lovers?

Otherwise, why deliberately split the words to play a prank on yourself?
Otherwise, how could he show such a seductive girlish expression?

Midi was daydreaming and thinking about whether he should try it too, when the carriage suddenly shook and then stopped abruptly.

"Everyone get out of the car immediately and accept the inspection! Those who disobey will be killed without mercy!"

A sharp and ear-piercing voice sounded and spread into the carriage, ruthlessly shattering the ambiguous atmosphere and world of two that Midi dreamed of.

On the red flag as bright as Fina's long hair, there are three majestic golden lions embroidered. In the Principality of Bel Mare, everyone knows that the coat of arms is that of the famous Hamilton family. chapter.

It's just that this menacing team is not soldiers, but more like a fun team of noble children who are out hunting.Among them, the most conspicuous ones are not the people, but the piebald cheetahs running with the knights.

For nobles, anything can be compared, fame, poetry, mansion, money, women, etc. However, in the hundreds of years of comparison, many things have already fallen out of cliché.In the past ten years, all kinds of things that are difficult to obtain with money in a short period of time have become the main trend of comparison.

For example, thoroughbred horses, pureblood hounds that need to be bred for decades, and the nobler and rarer - pureblood cheetahs.

Through the car window, Midi just glanced at the cheetah running with incomparable graceful posture, and Midi immediately understood.

The people here are a bunch of dudes.

"This is the territory of the Hamilton family. Who is so bold and dares to hide and play mystery in front of me?" The sharp and piercing voice rang out again, and he didn't even bother to publish his name.

The owner of the voice was a somewhat handsome young man in his twenties. His face was obviously very pale due to excessive indulgence. Like a dog.

And his squinted eyes turned around on Odell and Irene's body, his lust was clear.For a moment, the sensitive half-elves couldn't help but sullen their faces.

At the same time, Fina's face in the carriage also sank.

It's not because of Dandy's ridiculously simple mind, but because of something deeper behind it.

The Iron-Blooded Duke is critically ill. This is an extremely confidential matter. Not to mention most of the nobles in the Principality of Bel Mare, not many people even know about the Hamilton family.Only the close confidants of the Grand Duke and the first in line heir like Fina can get this information in the first place.

This time difference is an advantage, a means to stabilize the situation.

Because of this, even the Queen of Magic Bullet, who always travels in a high-profile way and likes to make frontal breakthroughs, chose to keep a low profile very quietly this time, and did a lot of cover-up work before leaving the Eagle's Nest.

Not only did he beg Alice to stay and take care of the Falcon Regiment, but he also didn't bring any items or entourage that might reveal his identity—including the ever-victorious Nightsaber Cavalry.The only ones following this unmarked convoy were the adventurers appointed by Midi.

In a sense, escorting Fina, the leader of the Falcon Regiment, back to Rose Mountain City smoothly, can be regarded as the first mission of the Falcon Regiment.

One time is likely to determine an important task for the principality's future.

This matter was so important that along the way, the adventurers who were extremely sensitive to differences in status and status played the role of noble guards very seriously. Not only did they have no complaints, they could even be said to be extremely dedicated.

Because of this, the low-key all the way, coupled with strong strength, made this convoy go all the way very smoothly. Whether it was mutated monsters or rampant robbers, none of them could slow down its speed in any way.

Even real nobles are still troubled by the chaotic law and order in the territory at this moment, so how dare they provoke this mysterious convoy guarded by a large group of high-level adventurers at will?

But now?

Once on the territory of the Hamilton family, they encountered provocations by such a coincidence, and Fina vaguely remembered that the one outside the carriage was the most difficult one. Ten thousand wisps.

Is this a coincidence?

Or necessarily?

Fina couldn't help but start to deduce.

"Someone is instigating this dude, at least, someone is instigating it." Looking at the red-haired girl's slightly frowning brows, Midi said calmly, "I'm afraid we have been targeted since we entered the territory."

"Why do you say that?" Fina couldn't help asking.

"I didn't see them carrying prey, and most importantly, those leopards were running too happily, it didn't look like they had participated in hunting at all." Midi pursed her lips and said simply.

When the prey is too small, these dudes simply don't bother to pick it up.After all, they hunt not for a living, but to have prey big enough to show off, so even if a hunting team returns empty-handed, it doesn't mean anything.

However, the state of the leopard is enough to deduce everything.

Fina, who was so busy paying attention to people but ignoring the details, couldn't help but blush—this was in her hometown, her home stadium, but she didn't notice it in a daze.

But no matter what, now that he already knew the origin of the other party, what to do next was very simple.

"Let's go out." Fina decided so.

"If you show up now, the news of the 'Magic Bullet Queen's Return to the Territory' will spread throughout the Principality," Midi reminded.

"It doesn't matter. Since someone is playing tricks behind the scenes, the news of Grandpa's critical illness may not be a secret to our enemies. If that's the case, why hide?" Fina stood up, her voice as confident and sassy as ever. , "And don't forget, I am the leader of the Falcon Regiment, of course I have to stand on the front line and fight with my members!"

　Thank you brothers and sisters for your support and support, and successfully entered the finals O(∩_∩)O!
