Like an old mother protecting her child during an abortion.
"Um..." Luo Shan, who was not far behind, tried to talk:
"Did you say... 'Ouch'?"
"Don't call me Awooo!!!"
Ke Ke glared back at them with such ferocity that the two men even thought she was going to pounce on them and tear them apart... like a wolf biting its prey's neck.
Roxanne and Belinda were so frightened that they froze, and waited until Coco turned her head before continuing to follow.
In fact, in the hearts of the two people behind him, curiosity was even more important than the desire to repay the favor.
"That little orc girl is so strong..."
"...And that black-haired girl is so cute...Is her name 'Lily'?"
The two of them were discussing this in whispers.
"It was Lily who was rubbing Aowu just now... Is Aowu leading Lily away now..."
"That expression... I really want to hug that black-haired girl..."
The two spoke in low voices, and were confident that their completely private communication would not be heard by the two people in front of them.
But they didn't seem to realize that orcs have acute hearing.
Coco's ears moved, obviously she heard what the two people behind her were talking about.
He turned his head and glanced at Lily, who was being held by him and was completely unaware of the conversation behind her.
Coco bit her little canine teeth unconsciously.
Want to hug her?
Just you guys! ?
Dream on! Don’t even think about it!!!
69. No entry to the school for idle people
Just one day ago.
Lily and El'er and their group officially arrived in Eliase.
Several people said goodbye to the driver. The driver looked at the surrounding scene, sighed, "What a big change..." and left alone with some nostalgia.
Then they went to find a hotel and bought some moxa balls, which are said to be a local specialty. The balls were soft and had a strong aroma of grass and sweetness.
Ai'er and Lily enjoyed the food, but Coco didn't seem to like such snacks. She couldn't eat more after eating two.
On the other hand, Ai'er bought a lot of things without hesitation.
Eliase was very lively, but El suddenly told Lily to be more careful and not to reveal her identity as a superior race.
Now that the two are wanted, this identity will not only not serve as a pass for them, but may also become a shackle on their actions.
The more densely populated an area is, the harder it will be to find you as long as you hide your identity well.
So you can take a short break here.
It's just that there are still some risks in West Rand.
After finding a place to stay and resting for a night, Elle and Lily Coco said goodbye to each other early the next morning and went to the headquarters of the Westland Business Association.
……
Many chambers of commerce in the business association have personnel stationed there. These people are definitely professional in transportation.
However, after hearing Ai'er's request, they all shook their heads in embarrassment:
"...You want to go to the Kingdom of Erit? Leave the country from Ankan? That might be a little difficult..."
"Eh?"
This seemed to be beyond Ai'er's expectations.
After asking around, no one could provide any carriages or boats that appeared in the film.
"The border between Xiland and Erit has been a bit tense recently... Forget the carriages, even the river has been closed..."
Ai'er thought about it and went directly to talk to Vice President Kerry of the Chamber of Commerce about her needs.
When Ai'er was in Eliase, she had met the vice president of this Chamber of Commerce once before, and the conversation was quite pleasant.
At that time, Ai'er caused a big misunderstanding because of her young appearance. I can still vividly remember the vice president's surprised look after the misunderstanding was resolved.
The other party was very enthusiastic when he saw Ai'er. He quickly invited Ai'er to his office and asked his subordinates to serve her tea and water.
But after hearing Ai'er's request, even the vice president frowned in embarrassment:
"To be honest... Recently, our trade routes with Erit have been cut off, which shows how tense the border is. The goods ordered there cannot be delivered. Many chambers of commerce have stockpiled a lot of bacon and spices in Eliase and Ankan City. The domestic chambers of commerce are also in short supply of ore and cloth. I think the letters can still be delivered, but communication beyond that is very difficult. The current consideration of the Chamber of Commerce is to open up trade routes to northern or southern countries for those chambers of commerce. The south will entrust some multinational chambers of commerce or local chambers of commerce in Salen to transport land to the south coast, and then use ships to bypass Erit to the north. But now the relationship between the country and Salen is also a bit delicate, and the cycle has to be delayed a lot... As for the north..."
"Is there no other way?" Ai'er asked.
"To be honest, even if it's Miss Ai'er's commission, we can't do anything about it. If Miss Ai'er is willing, I can introduce you to several multinational companies that focus on maritime transportation..."
But there was no way Elle could turn back, and it was unlikely that she would go south to the coast.
The ocean is far more dangerous than the forest, and getting caught means death.
The only safe place is where humans are most densely populated.
"What if I hire a carriage alone and cross the border?"
Kerry shook his head again:
"It's even more difficult. The formal channels have been closed for a long time... If Miss Ai'er wants to sneak across, with troops gathering on both sides, it will be difficult to get away with it if she is caught."
The implication is that if discovered, they might even be arrested on the spot, tortured, or executed directly.
Maybe Ai'er could escape easily, but it was not Ai'er's intention to make too much of a fuss.
"…Really, there is no other solution?"
"Although I don't know why, Miss Elle seems to be very anxious to leave the country?"
"To be honest, I am a little anxious...but as for the reason..."
"Isn't it good to say it clearly?"
Kerry didn't ask any more questions, but just frowned, as if thinking about something:
"…If Miss Elle really needs to leave the country urgently, I know someone who may have some ideas."
He walked to a shelf at the side and pulled out a large folder.
After searching, he seemed to have found his target. He took out a paper business card:
"Professor Bridges Byron of the Royal Military University is a top figure in the military magic field of Silander. He seems to be currently serving as a consultant to the Armament and Communications Deployment Department of the Kingdom's Military Department. He is an old acquaintance of some people in the military, and many of the people in the strategic planning meetings are his old friends. He and I had some exchanges at a research meeting on the rapid transportation of large equipment half a year ago, but we are not very familiar with each other. If Miss Elle wants to look for him, you can mention my name, but I don't expect it to have much effect."
Chris immediately wrote a letter of introduction and gave it to Elle, telling Elle the other party's address.
"I'm really sorry, this is the best I can do to help you."
"It's okay. I'm very grateful for this." Ai'er bowed slightly in return: "I'll remember this kindness."
"It's good that Miss Ai'er has this intention."
……
After saying goodbye to the Business Association, Ai'er looked at the letter in the sunlight, a little dazed.
Even the Chamber of Commerce and those multinational chambers of commerce are helpless.
The escape could be said to have happened at the most inopportune moment.
Maybe I should have collected a little more information beforehand... No, although that's what I said, it wasn't the time to leisurely discuss the route.
Besides, what I heard in Soller wasn't that urgent...
Instead, the situation started to deteriorate from the time Ai'er just adjusted the route until Elias arrived...
It's almost like...
Ai'er shook her head quickly.
There is no use in making meaningless guesses.
Next, let's go to the Military University and look for Professor Bridges Byron.
……
The Military University is located in the central area of Eliases.
Many people here are dressed in a manner that is not much different from Ai'er.
Military universities are generally closed-door full-time on weekdays, and students need to apply to go out, with some exceptions. Therefore, you will hardly see students wearing school uniforms around you.
"you are?"
The guard in military uniform stopped Ai'er outside the gate.
Because outsiders are not allowed to enter the military university.
"I'm here to see Professor Bridges Byron..."
"Is it someone the professor knows? ...Do you have an appointment?"
The guard looked through the records, and of course, Ai'er's name was not there. Then the guard said directly:
"There are a lot of people who have come to see Professor Bridges recently, and the professor hasn't been at the Military Academy very often recently. He has said that he generally won't see anyone without an appointment. Even if you have a letter of introduction, it won't work... Miss, please go back."
"If you want to make an appointment..."
"It doesn't count if you come to us. If you really have something to do, you should first go to someone related to the professor and ask for the professor's authorization. Then someone from the professor's side will notify us..."
The guard rudely kicked Ai'er out, but seeing that Ai'er was still quite young, he controlled his actions and tone so as not to be too rough.
But judging from his attitude, he obviously regarded Ai'er as the offspring of some selfish people who wanted to share some benefits in the possible war. So his attitude was not good.
Ai'er was a little discouraged and walked back with his head down.
Well, after running for a long time, I still can’t see anyone.
