Chapter 156 Heading West

   For Duanmuhuai, a personal maid was not within his focus. After solving this matter, he turned his attention to the west.

   Having said that, where exactly is there?

   "Frankly, we don't know very well."

  When Duanmuhuai asked An this question, she also shook her head.

   "We have never had any contact with the west. In fact, we don't even know whether there are people living in the west..."

  According to Ann, in the west of the Kingdom of Manaria, there is a whole piece of towering mountains. Perhaps because of this, no one has ever known what is behind that mountain range, nor does it know whether there are people living there. This is actually quite normal in a world with less developed civilizations. After all, the scope of human activities is limited, and if there is no special means of transportation, it is also very difficult to go to other places through steep mountains, rivers or oceans. Not easy.

Of course, according to the information obtained from the succubus, there is not only civilization on the opposite side, but even a powerful empire, and they also believe in and worship various gods. Well, in fact, the succubus is a worshiper over there Summoned from the sect of dragons.

  Because of this, for An, this is not just an adventure. As the princess of Manaria, she must investigate what is going on. Is it purely a cult, or is there an instigation from the opposite country behind it? After all, this kind of behavior of sending spies to infiltrate other countries to create division is already considered a war action. Not to mention that the other party is still a country that he has never dealt with before, and Manalia must also act cautiously. After all, if this turns into a frontal war between the two countries, it will be difficult to say.

  Hmm... Although logically speaking, there should be no such possibility, because according to Succubus, she was able to cross the sky and come here purely because she can fly, and the army cannot cross the plateau mountains.

   Therefore, this time everyone went to the west, not only to find the murderer behind the scenes, but also to see what the country is like over there.

Because of this, Duanmuhuai and the others will dispatch together. After all, Ann is the princess of Manaria, Guleya is the princess of Regnes, and Lorena is the missionary priest of the Holy City. The three of them can already serve as three representatives of countries.

  With the addition of Duanmuhuai and Augis, the team of five is basically complete.

  Of course...and that Miss Audrey who became a personal maid.

Originally, Duanmuhuai wanted to ask Feilin to go with her, but this Miss Longren was really a dead house, and she was unwilling to move in the battleship, but she provided a clue to Duanmuhuai and others—— According to Feilin, since hundreds of years ago, the dragon clan on their side has been completely separated from the dragon clan in the west, and the two sides are of the nature of not getting in touch with each other.

As for the specific reason, according to Feilin, there was once a dragon who tried to rule the whole world in vain, so it split with other compatriots. Later, the dragon group also separated because of this. Never contacting each other, that is the predecessor of Regnese.

As for what happened to the dragon in the end... I heard that it seemed to be attacked by a brave man, and Feilin didn't know the specific situation very well. All in all, since the bane did not show up in this world, it means that it has followed all the rules that tried to rule the world. The same as the law of villains, it's completely over.

  In fact, the separation of the dragon clan is already a matter of thousands of years ago, and now even Regnes few dragons know about the situation, after all, even Gu Leya has never heard of it.

   But Fife is not necessarily so.

  According to Feilin, the ancient dragon of Fafe is likely to have experienced the division of the Dragon Clan back then. Maybe it is now going to the west to find helpers and intends to start over.

  Generally speaking, if you can't fly, it is almost impossible to cross the mountains to the western continent.

  Well, if you can't fly.

   "Yahoo——!!"

  Sitting on the night crow black star, An raised his hands excitedly, as if he was riding some kind of exciting project in an amusement park, he was so excited.

   "Sure enough, it's convenient to have something that can fly. After I learn it, I'm going to ask my father to build the same thing in Manaria!"

   "Have you learned it yet?"

  Duanmu Huai was driving the Night Crow Black Star Gunship, while curiously looking at An, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, the latter tilted his head and thought for a while.

"Well... I almost understand the principle of why you can fly without magic. If it's just like this, then the power should need to be improved, and I've just started to look at aerodynamics. I don't know how far I can master it. As for In terms of craftsmanship, the current manufacturing techniques of Manalia seem to be not up to the requirements, and the overall industrial manufacturing level needs to be improved..."

  Look, what is Xueshen, this is called Xueshen.

   "Woo..."

  Contrary to the elated Ann, at this moment Guleya was lying on the chair behind with a livid face, her eyes closed tightly and motionless.

   That's right, she's airsick!

  As a dragon person, Gu Leya actually gets airsick!

Obviously, she didn't respond when she was on the battleship, but when she was on the Night Crow Black Star, Gu Leya looked pale and was about to vomit and diarrhea... Then the whole person would lie behind like a dead dragon, motionless .

   And at this moment, a figure appeared beside Guleya.

   "Miss Guleya, please drink some water."

   "Ah, um...thank you..."

  Looking at the water glass handed over, Guleya came back to her senses, took a few sips of water, and then closed her eyes again. Audrey, who was beside her, picked up a wet handkerchief and gently placed it on Guleya's forehead.

  As for Lorena and Augis on the other side, one was praying with her eyes closed, and the other was looking at the book in her hand.

   It seems that there is still a maid right.

  Looking at the back, Duanmuhuai shook his head. To be honest, he is not very familiar with Miss Audrey, he has only met her a few times. But how should I put it... Duanmu Huai's impression of her is not good at all.

Although the female protagonists in urban emotional dramas are quite disgusting, but Audrey's feeling to Duanmuhuai is not the same as them. My life is bad", "Why do you treat me like this, obviously I have nothing wrong with it", "The most important thing for me is love" are so annoying, but they don't seem to have any self-characteristics.

  How should I put it... Duanmuhuai feels that she is more like a puppet than Augis.

Although Augis seldom speaks on weekdays, as long as Duanmuhuai asks her, she will give her own thoughts and answers-although sometimes Augis's answers are very lethal, but at least it also shows that Augis is capable. own thinking ability.

But Audrey is different. Basically, when Duanmuhuai communicated with her, her answers were basically "yes", "I understand" and "okay". Everything is done out of obligation.

Although Duanmuhuai doesn't really like the logic of "but you are also at fault", but to be honest, if you let him evaluate it, it's no wonder that Audrey, who is like a living doll, is compared with that succubus. Master Yard will choose the succubus.

  The latter is at least like a living person, while the former... is like a living dead.

  Although Audrey is considered pretty, as far as Duanmuhuai is concerned—she seems to have only her face left.

   To be honest, at least as far as men are concerned, this is not a charm bonus.

   In contrast, someone next to Duanmuhuai was a little too noisy.

   "Ah, Mr. Knight, we have crossed the mountains now, is the western continent below?"

   "Well, it should be."

While speaking, Duanmuhuai looked out the window, and they could see a dense virgin forest in front of them. Perhaps because of the high altitude, it gave people the impression that it was snowing all over the sky, and there were piles of accumulations everywhere on the top of the mountain. Snow. The outlines of some cities can be vaguely seen in the distance. No need to ask, this is evidence that this continent has civilization.

   "What should we do next? Are we going to fly directly there?"

   "No, it's not necessary."

   Duanmu Huai scanned his surroundings, and then turned his gaze to the village not far ahead.

   "I will land here, and then we will disguise ourselves as adventurers, go to that village, and inquire about the situation there. As for what to do next, we will continue after we figure out the situation."

"understood."

After making a decision, Duanmuhuai parked the gunboat on the nearby hillside, and then everyone left, and then the Night Crow Black Star flew up again and disappeared into the air——Until Duanmuhuai's order, it will stay Stay in cruise mode and wait for the action.

   "Woo...is this the Western Continent?"

  Perhaps because her feet were on the ground, Guleya's complexion improved a lot, and Duanmuhuai also nodded.

   "That's right, according to the information, it should be like this... In short, let's go to the village first, and then discuss it."

After that, Duanmuhuai took the girls to the village they had seen before. When they reached the gate of the village, they were not stopped by the guards, and faced with the inquiries of these guards, Duanmuhuai only said that he A group of adventurers happened to pass by nearby. Because their companions were unwell, they wanted to find a place to rest.

Although she was a little afraid of Duanmuhuai's attire, the guards didn't say much, and let everyone in. Although the proprietress was very disturbed by Duanmuhuai's appearance, when she saw the gemstone Duanmuhuai took out, she immediately panicked. A smile appeared... It can be seen that money really is omnipotent.

   Facing the gem in front of him, the innkeeper naturally smiled, and quickly arranged the best room for everyone, and from her, Duanmuhuai also got some information about this place.

  According to the hotel proprietress, this is indeed the land of an empire, and it can be regarded as a border area. Not only that, this empire seems to control a fairly large territory. Of course, this world is also indispensable for the existence of monsters, dragons, and even ghosts.

I have to say that after hearing this information, An was somewhat worried. At least for now, the country seems to be larger than Manalia. If a war breaks out between the two sides, I don’t know what will happen. ...

   Fortunately, at present, the magic civilization here does not seem to be as developed as in Manalia.

  Of course, considering that this is a border village, it may not be generalized.

   Soon, overnight.

  However, when Duanmu Huai woke up again, a strange voice came from his ear.

"Owner."

"Um………?"

Duanmu Huai raised his head, and saw an unfamiliar face staring at him quietly. He looked to the side, and then saw Augis sitting on the table next to him, and standing in front of him of………

   "Audrey, what's the matter?"

   "Soldiers have entered this village."

"Um?"

  Hearing this, Duanmu Huai immediately became alert.

   "Is it for us?"

   "I don't know, they have sealed off the village and no one else is allowed in or out."

Duanmuhuai stood up, walked to the window and looked out. It was already early morning outside the window, and he could indeed see many soldiers in armor holding torches and weapons, standing on both sides of the village street, as if they were blocking the village generally.

How is this going?

   "Go, ask the boss."

"yes."

  After hearing Duanmuhuai's order, Audrey turned around and left immediately. After a while, the proprietress came up twisting her bucket waist.

   "Ah, this guest... please don't worry, it's not a big deal."

   "What the **** happened?"

"Is such that………"

   Facing Duanmuhuai's question, the proprietress was a little suspicious, but she still spoke in a low voice.

"I heard that the imperial army captured the leader of the rebel army and will execute him here. That's why the village has been sealed off. Please don't worry. It's not a big deal. As long as the execution is over, the blockade will be lifted. Dear guests Wait in the hotel, don't go out, so as not to cause any trouble. I heard that the imperial general will come in person... I didn't expect such a thing to happen..."

  Speaking of which, the proprietress did introduce yesterday that there is a border military fort next to this village. It seems that it is not unreasonable to say that criminals are executed here. It's just that looking at their tense looks... It seems that the criminals who were executed are not ordinary people.

  Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai frowned.

"Okay, I know."
