When the episode of Merida and Alice training the maid came to a temporary end, Qi Tian picked up the black tea in his hand, took a sip slowly, felt the sweetness in his mouth, and was in a good mood.
Just at this moment they crossed a block, and the train did not stop, but continued to move forward.
Looking at the train tracks in the distance, Saraxia stared at the scenery outside the window and asked Qi Tian.
"Master Qi Tian, we have not been heading to any other place since the last stop. We have not changed trains. Where is the destination of this train?"
Sarasha was very confused and always felt that their journey would not be that simple.
"Don't worry! Sarasha, I have discussed with your brother that we should not involve ordinary people in this battle. I have also told the conductor where we want to go. They will take us there."
Qi Tian's expression was calm. He didn't feel it was too strange. Instead, he felt particularly relaxed.
"Wait, teacher, are we going to receive the Holy Stone?"
Merida's eyes lit up, and she guessed this possibility, so she immediately asked her teacher.
"Besides, it seems that there are quite a few places to choose from. In addition to this envelope at the beginning, we have received 300 envelopes one after another. Now we can go anywhere we want?"
Alice looked proudly at the table filled with various letters, a smile appeared on her face, and she felt that this journey would be quite pleasant.
After hearing Alice's words, Qi Tian smiled without saying anything. Instead, he looked out the window, admiring the scenery in the distance, with a confident smile on his lips.
"Yes! It is a pilgrimage, and at first you may think it will not take much effort. But don't get too excited, young lady. There may be some dangers waiting for our world. Everything will happen."
A smile appeared on Qi Tian's lips as he explained in detail the dangers that this world brings and some principles that need attention.
Looking at the puzzled expressions of Merida and Alice, Qi Tian smiled gently, took out a letter from his arms, and opened the envelope.
"The train's destination is the outskirts of the lower district, a mining town called Diodecke."
After talking about the destination they wanted to go to, Qi Tian's eyes were still very calm, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking in his mind.
"I see! I hope it will be an interesting journey!"
Merida's heart was full of anticipation. As long as she could travel with her teacher, it would be a good thing for her.
——————Dividing line——————————
Soon, under the dark night sky, a train emitting bright lights continued to run towards their final destination.
As soon as they arrived at the train station, they were greeted warmly by the local residents, but it was indeed a poor welcome. The only thing that came to greet them was an old horse-drawn carriage without a carriage cover, which was obviously in disrepair for a long time.
"Wow! Are we at this place yet? Why does it feel so shabby?"
Merida looked at the carriage in front of her and felt very speechless, not knowing what to say.
"Be quiet, Merida, let's go over there and take the carriage inside!"
Qi Tian showed a calm look, adjusted his disciples to be quiet, and went straight in.
Just like that, under Qi Tian's gaze, Merida and Alice didn't say much, but got on the carriage, looking like well-behaved maids.
However, the comfort level inside was extremely poor. Every time they passed a deep pit, there would be strong bumps, making them feel extremely uncomfortable, as if they were falling apart.
"This place is really too rural, isn't it? It's simply not suitable for us."
Miao Lu was speechless. She felt such a strong bumpy ride, which was totally unacceptable to her. Fortunately, her good manners as a lady prevented her from becoming extremely furious.
"It's okay. It doesn't look like it's the worst possible situation. We can just do it if we can."
Qi Tian said casually, but Merida and Alice naturally didn't want to suffer such pain, so they sat on Qi Tian's legs at once to withstand the strong bumps.
"It's really very uncomfortable. This place is really too unpleasant."
Miao Lu said helplessly, but she couldn't change anything. Instead, she could only stand there quietly.
"But I'm curious, why did my brother choose this place? It's really surprising."
Sarasha patted her head, looking confused. There were so many choices, but she chose to come to such a place. It was really strange.
"Well, Sarasha, is it possible that your brother is here for the trial? So he chose these marginal places, which would help him get better choices and be recognized by the people."
Merida had her own guess, and felt that her guess was somewhat possible.
"Maybe! Sometimes I don't even understand my brother."
Sarasha sighed softly and said helplessly.
"Oh, let me explain a little more! For example, during our journey, one after another, the holders of the Holy Stone died unexpectedly."
Qi Tian seemed to have thought of something and explained in detail to the young ladies their situation and told them that this journey would not be easy.
"Moreover, what will attract attention is that no matter who the collector is, whether it is a member of the church or any other organization with a little bit of power, the stones in their hands have disappeared inexplicably."
When Qi Tian said this, these girls naturally knew the seriousness of the matter, so they deeply understood some things and knew what to do.
"Could it be those bats who did this? I feel that this is the only possibility. Apart from this, there is no other possibility."
Merida was not a fool. After Qi Tian's reminder, she easily understood what had happened. She realized that their current situation was very bad and might fall into an even more serious situation.
"Yes, it can be said that they don't want us to get these holy stones. That's why they carried out these methods in secret. It can be said that it is safest for you to stay with me. With them around, this journey will definitely not be so leisurely."
Qi Tian looked at the girls calmly, which made them look a little nervous and they didn't know what to say.
"Oh, that's good. This will make our journey more interesting."
Miu Lu was not too panicked at the time. After all, if they were so far away, the enemy might not be able to find them, and it would be easy for them to get the holy stone.
Moreover, this action itself is a huge experience. If handled properly, they will be able to gain more successful training, which is also what they hope for.
"Well, I understand. As long as I can be with the teacher, no matter what danger it is, I can face it."
Merida's eyes were determined. Ever since her teacher helped her grow completely, Merida has always wanted to repay her teacher. She believed that there would be more opportunities in the future.
Chapter 320 Arriving at the town
After walking for a while, they came to the valley, and in the distance, they saw countless black objects that seemed to be slowly wriggling, and there was a large crowd on the side.
Moreover, the people who came to pick them up were very strange. Their robes seemed to cover their entire bodies, making it impossible to see their faces. They looked like some terrorist organizations, all dressed in black, giving people a very dangerous feeling.
Looking at the scene in front of them, Merida and Alice hugged Qi Tian's arms tightly, with no intention of letting go. Facing this group of mysterious men in black, it would be strange to say that they were not afraid.
"Teacher, what's going on with these people? Why do I feel like they are dangerous?"
Merida looked at her teacher nervously, and then discovered these strange people. She was very confused and didn't know what these people wanted to do.
"Merida, please rest assured, there is nothing special about them, nor are they bad people? Strictly speaking, they are just common servants in the lower district, and they like to wear protective robes."
Qi Tian said this confidently, and his performance was quite good, as if he knew what he was going to do.
"Protective robes, do you mean something you wear to resist miasma? I think this is the most correct judgment."
Merida seemed to have thought of something and made a judgment that she thought was reasonable.
"No, these things are not magical materials. They are also very cheap. Besides, these people can't afford them. They are just something that serves as psychological comfort."
Qi Tian gave a somewhat contradictory explanation, proving these things should not be a simple matter.
In an instant, Merida opened her mouth wide, her face full of disbelief, wondering if these people were crazy to actually believe in these useless things. As a young lady, this seemed a little unimaginable to Merida.
When we just arrived at this place, we saw the crowds in the distance, which seemed to be very large in number. Their eyes were full of excitement and enthusiasm, as well as very happy thoughts.
"Long live the prince!"
The sounds coming one after another were deafening, and it seemed that they were very welcoming. It was unknown whether they were behaving like this in order to gain more benefits.
"Let's get off the bus! Since someone welcomes us, let's enjoy this journey!"
Qi Tian smiled casually, then looked at the four girls around him and said.
"Uh, teacher, I still feel a little nervous."
Merida swallowed, feeling unprecedented tension. It was her first time entering this place in this capacity, and she was really not used to it.
"Haha, don't worry, that's why you need to train hard. That's what I want to tell you."
Qi Tian patted Merida's shoulder, looked at the girl and said comfortingly, perhaps with his comfort, the girl would do better.
"thank you teacher."
Merida was very excited to receive encouragement from her teacher, which made her very happy and satisfied, and her mood became calm as a result.
"Your Excellency, welcome to our place. Your presence here is a great honor to our humble home."
After they got off the bus, a young man wearing a somewhat outdated suit came up to Qi Tian, bowed, and glanced at the distance between them, as if it was a scene that had been rehearsed several times.
"I am the son of the mayor of this town, and my name is Samas. I welcome the prince to visit our town. We are short of time and night, and we are looking forward to your arrival. Please make sure to stay overnight for a few days."
Samas behaved very humbly, feeling extremely honored by their arrival, and seemed very enthusiastic, but also cautious, a common scene among Ivor country nobles.
"Oh, hello, nice to meet you."
Qi Tian's answer was simple, without excessive accommodation or praise, just like it was just an ordinary thing, as simple as drinking water and eating.
"Okay, Samas, the prince is very tired, let them have a good rest and relieve the fatigue of the journey."
Soon, a middle-aged gentleman with a mustache came over. He looked extremely humble and wanted to shake hands with Qi Tian naturally and generously.
"Long time no see, Lord Prince. I think of the scene I encountered when I was 15. I still remember it vividly. You gave it to me. As the mayor, you also let me protect this town. Everything is thanks to you. By the way, my name is Wildy."
Wildi said with surprise that there was nothing better than meeting the person who taught him again, and this was also something Wildi could never forget.
"Yes! It's been a long time since we last met. When I think back to when you were still very young, I didn't expect you to understand the things I gave you quite well."
Qi Tian's performance was very natural, making it hard to tell what he wanted to say. Compared to acting, Qi Tian's methods were not so simple, and ordinary people could not expect to see some key things from his eyes.
"Okay, Dad, you just said not to disturb the prince's rest. Now you are still talking so much. It's good that the prince can remember our affairs. Compared to this, let's get on the carriage quickly!"
Samas saw his father and godfather chattering away, and immediately reminded himself that, unlike his own father, he would anger the prince and cause any trouble, which would be counterproductive.
"Oh, that's right. Maybe there are quite a few things I need to focus on!"
Wildi coughed to ease the embarrassment on his face, and it was obvious that he was not going to say anything more.
Then, they continued to walk forward. After walking about 100 meters, a luxurious car with six horses appeared in front of them. It looked magnificent and did not seem that simple.
"Wow, this is really amazing. Is this the first time I've seen such a luxurious carriage?"
Merida said happily, her eyes full of excitement, and she seemed very surprised.
Hearing Merida, the maid-looking woman, say this, a smug smile appeared on Wildi's face. He felt that the prince would definitely be satisfied with this.
"Hehe, it looks really nice. I didn't expect to see such a luxurious carriage for the first time."
Miao Lu was a little surprised that such a carriage could be found in such a remote place. It showed that these people had prepared a lot of it in order to please the so-called Lord Prince.
Unfortunately, if they found out that this so-called prince was not actually a real prince, they would probably be furious.
"How about it, Miulu, are you interested? Let's make a carriage like this together. I can let you do it for free."
Qi Tian looked at this quirky black-haired girl and said very seriously that her performance was quite good.
"Forget it! You should just sit in a carriage with your two maids. I am not worthy of this kind of thing. I will leave it to you, okay?"
Mu Lu is not a fool. He just can't stand the atmosphere in such a carriage, so he is not going to ride in such a carriage.
Although Mu Lu thought the carriage was nice, she decided not to ride in it. She would just take a quick look at it and there would be no further desire to ride in it.
Chapter 321 Flaw
"Master, this is a really beautiful carriage. Can I get in?"
Merida was full of expectation, and after seeing her nominal master clearly, she inquired carefully.
"Of course. You are the maid I care about very much. Come up with me!"
Qi Tian behaved in a proper and generous manner, so that others could not tell what he was thinking.
"Okay, Master, I'm coming."
Merida came over skipping and holding Qi Tian's right hand, looking relaxed and cheerful, without any resistance.
Alice watched Merida pass by, her eyes full of loneliness, like an abandoned child, her eyes full of depression.
"Alice, come over too! Don't look so depressed. We are here to travel, you need to be happy. That's the best way."
Qi Tian rubbed the silver-haired girl's head. The young lady also stretched out her head and rubbed his arm, acting very cordially.
"There is really no other way. Since this is the master's idea, I will obey the master's orders."
Alice said with satisfaction, grabbed Qi Tian and walked towards the carriage.
However, such a heartwarming scene did not make Salma happy. Instead, it made him look very surprised and solemn.
