How to wear a goddess statue

Chapter 040: Elleira City

Under the blue sky, the Yilu River is wide and flat, reflecting the waves like broken gold. The merchant ships loaded with cargo break through the river with the power of the water and move forward smoothly.

Ebony wood, ivory, exotic spices and cloth... These goods from the neighboring country of Kathne are very popular among Solan people, and they will definitely sell for a good price.

Because of this, most of the members of the caravan were in a happy mood, chatting and laughing happily on one side of the deck, thinking about how much money they would get after selling the goods, and what gifts they would bring to their relatives when they returned home.

If it was the past, they would never be so relaxed, because during the long journey of business, there are too many people staring at the caravan.

It is only a trivial matter for bandits in the mountains and greedy officials to be squeezed out of oil and water, and it is not uncommon for the entire army to be annihilated together with the guards.

But this time, everyone is at ease.

Because among the escorting cavalry, there is a princess who has made a great reputation on the border, and there is such a fierce god of the battlefield to help her. merchant ship.

Traveling by boat is not only safe, but also comfortable and relaxed, which is much more pleasant than moving your legs and driving a horse on land.

"Ugh--"

On the other side of the deck, Archt leaned against the side of the ship and looked into the distance, with a very melancholy expression, which was out of place with the caravan members who were chatting leisurely.

It's been a month.

He has been with this caravan for a month.

He said he was following the caravan, but his real purpose was to monitor the princess Eleuil. However, after such a period of time, he only felt lonely under surveillance.

On the way to the land, there was nothing to be detected across most of the caravan, so forget it, after all, nothing happened on the road.

When he arrived in the City of the Sun God, he was dragged by the owner of the caravan to sell and buy goods. After more than half a month, he was almost familiar with the business process, and he even became a free labor force to help count.

Finally, one day I caught up with the princess, only to find that the other party was just wandering around with the teacher. After watching the drama, watching the garden, and strolling around the East Street and the North Street, how could he have the slightest sense of being a caravan guard?

She didn't even meet the concubine, as if she wasn't her blood-related aunt, so that the messenger suspected that the other party came to Surinia for no other purpose at all, and he was thinking too much.

But now, seeing that he was about to go to the next main city, he still got nothing and made no progress.

Every time he receives a pigeon from Acht, the envoy has a headache because he doesn't know what to report.

Do you want to say that you found out that the princess is not doing business and is keen on having fun?

Any fool can see that she is faking it!

Thinking about this, Acht couldn't help but sighed deeply again.

At this moment, he heard a distressed sigh not far away, and his eyes lit up.

Could it be that on this boat where everyone is happy, there are also frustrated people like him?

When Akht arrived at the warehouse, he saw a young soldier in leather armor with messy hair like straw circling around in circles, his face was full of confusion, and he looked a little silly to be honest.

Come to make me squint my eyes.

His memory has always been very good. He remembered that this person usually followed the royal guards, but he was not one of them. Whenever he was rudely ordered around, he must have accumulated a lot of resentment in his heart, so he sighed here and there.

Perhaps this is a force that can be drawn.

The envoy greeted him kindly: "This brother..."

The straw-headed soldier looked up and saw him, and immediately frowned.

"Don't be so hostile. I think you are standing alone. Could it be that you are being squeezed out by others?"

"What nonsense, you are the one being excluded." Strawhead retorted straightforwardly.

Lai Shi, who was indeed squeezed out by everyone on board: "..."

Lai made his eyes gloomy, but he still smiled: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I just feel worthless for you."

Straw-headed soldier: "What's so worth it?"

"Look, how much effort you have put in along the way, and you have been accused of turning around, don't you think those people are too much? Even the old people who follow His Highness can't grind the juniors like this."

The straw-headed soldier frowned.

Lai Shi thought that the persuasion had some effect, and was about to continue fooling around, but the straw head said loudly: "These are my tests, the guy who sows discord, don't think I will be fooled by you!"

The voice was so loud and powerful that even the members of the caravan on the other side of the deck became strangely quiet.

The messenger gasped and hissed in a low voice, "You are crazy, talking so loudly."

Strawhead: "My mother said that only those with a guilty conscience would deliberately lower their voices."

The envoy gritted his teeth and made a mistake. This stunned soldier looked stupid, but in fact he knew everything. I'm afraid it wasn't a hook arranged by the princess.

He turned around and walked away before the other people were attracted by the angry voice. Although both of them knew each other's intentions, at least they couldn't let the princess get caught, otherwise the watcher would have failed too.

The straw-headed soldier just thought he was being poked and broke his heart, and left ashamed, and couldn't help being proud of his insight.

But soon, he remembered his troubles again, and his face suddenly frowned.

Footsteps came from behind, and Lena, the former deputy army commander, rushed over and asked, "What were you arguing about just now? Who is sowing discord?"

The straw-headed Luca recounted what happened just now. After hearing this, Lena frowned: "Good job."

Being choked to death by straw heads every day, Lena realized for the first time that the way he speaks has great power against the enemy. I think the messenger is doubting his life at the moment.

Lena asked casually, "So what were you struggling with just now?"

"I think of something insignificant..." Luka's voice was suddenly softer than that of a mosquito.

Lena glanced at him suspiciously: "Let's just let it be a small matter, but remember not to affect your state because of this, and you will soon go to the next foothold, cheer up."

Luka said seriously: "I will."

The deputy commander turned around and walked in the direction she came from. Luca stood behind her, his expression quickly changed to a bitter face.

Through the small window of the cabin, Rhodes looked at the city whose outline could already be seen in the distance.

The main city they are about to arrive at is named Eluleila, which means "protected by the Ilu River". As the name suggests, this is the main city that believes in the river goddess—that is, Lotus himself.

Eleuil was arranging the buckle belt, finished fastening the chest buckle in front of the mirror, and then tied the back with his back.

Seeing this, Rhodes came over to help her tidy up.

The princess froze for a moment, feeling the fingertips of the god touched the skin on the back of her waist through the cloth, and lowered her eyes involuntarily.

Obviously he can fasten it proficiently, but he still allows Rhodes to help him with peace of mind, and even indulges in the feeling of being touched gently, hoping that the time can be prolonged.

It’s just that there are only a few buckles, and it’s done after three times, five times and two times.

Rhodes looked at the princess through the mirror and said, "This time you are dressed quite formally."

"The Lord Elulela is an old-fashioned person with a lot of etiquette. If he knew I was coming in advance, he would definitely invite a meeting as soon as possible. Dressing too casually may affect the first impression." Elleu paused and smiled. Ask, "This suit should suffice, don't you think?"

The wide-shouldered long skirt, the thin fringed cloak on the outside, did not wear a full set of gold ornaments, but only the belt inlaid with agate and simple gold bracelets were enough to show the extravagance that others could not match.

After thinking about it, Rhodes found a delicate golden hair ornament and put it on Eleuil's head.

The exquisite but not cumbersome hair accessories added a bit of solemnity, and Aleuil didn't even look in the mirror, and said, "Your choice is too suitable."

Rotas motioned her to look in the mirror first, but the princess was confident: "I don't need to look at it to know that it suits me well. Lord Elleila is also your believer. If he has any objections to such a dress, it only shows that he is not pious enough."

Rhodes shook his head: "What's the point?"

Don't push the issue of aesthetics to faith.

"Lattus is the truth."

The princess followed suit with a very serious expression.

Rodas was already able to face Eleuil's fancy quotations very calmly, and said without any disturbance: "In that case, why didn't you listen to me before going to bed last night and go to bed earlier?"

Aleuil plausibly said: "Because people sometimes want to be unreasonable."

There seems to be nothing wrong with this reason.

Rhodes sighed: "It's true that you have said all the good and bad things."

Everything was ready, and the merchant ship stopped outside the city of Eluleila.

There was movement outside the cabin, and it was the members of the caravan who were carrying the goods to be sold.

The two got off the boat from the other end, stepped on solid ground, raised their heads slightly, and looked at the city under the protection of the river goddess.

Unlike most cities with thick walls and the higher the better, the walls of Eluleila are relatively not so tall and thick, and its city defense is mainly borne by a moat.

The extremely wide river channel is the result of manual excavation. The water is drawn from the Yilu River, like a light blue belt. There is a bridge across the river outside each city gate. There are soldiers on the bridge no matter it is day or night. guard.

Two soldiers approached the caravan.

They probably got the news a long time ago, and their expressions were not surprised at all, and they saluted respectfully: "Welcome to Eluleila, the Lord City Guard will come to welcome you soon, and please come with us first, Your Highness."

Eleuil nodded in return.

A group of people followed the guards across the moat bridge, and when they came to the city gate, Rhodes glanced at the city wall next to the gate inadvertently. There were many papers pasted there, and everyone could see it when they entered the city.

The first piece of paper is especially large, with the regulations in the city and friendly reminders to outsiders.

Below this notice is a row of portraits.

It is not surprising that the Solan people would post portraits of wanted persons outside the city to facilitate the guards' investigation and prevent fugitives from sneaking into the city, but Rhodes' eyes were fixed.

The one at the front... looks a little familiar.

The author has something to say:

Hey, I went out to replenish supplies today, but was scratched by a plastic package when I checked out.

The key point is that the stroke was quite deep, and the blood gushed out, and the lady boss gasped in fright to find me a tissue.

I said no, no, no need, I lowered my head and took out the Band-Aid from my pocket.

The proprietress was very shocked, and said that the Band-Aid was always on hand, and she was very safety conscious.

I said, no, this is just bought.

The pharmacy is right next door to the supermarket. I just bought a Band-Aid at the pharmacy. I wanted to put it in the bedroom as a spare. Within 10 minutes, the Band-Aid came in handy before it was warmed up in my pocket.

I'm going to kill myself for suspecting that I'm a prophet.

Up to now, I still remember the expression of the proprietress, sympathy, pity and surprise mixed together, and she is still forced to laugh... Today, the death of the company has reached qvq

Thanks to the little cutie who throws thunder, and compares my heart.
