How to wear a goddess statue

The terrain of Solan is changeable. In the first section, you can enjoy the flat and wide river view on the cargo ship. In the next section, you will see the rugged mountains and mountains. After all, the leisure time of traveling by boat is over.

Right now the caravan was walking around the mountains, and the cavalry guards lined up in a long line at the front and back of the convoy.As long as you bypass this mountain, you will arrive at the next main city.

Rhodes sat by the small window of the carriage, resting his chin with one hand, looking out the window in a daze.

There are not many things that can be used for spiritual entertainment in this era. There are no modern electronic devices, and she can only be in a daze when she is bored. At this time, she misses mobile phones and the Internet very much.

Suddenly, someone knocked lightly on the car window, and through the hollow carvings on the window, the princess on the horse leaned over and asked, "My duty time is enough. You seem a little bored, do you want to come out for a walk?"

Rhodes shook his head.

Eleuil: "Okay, I'll go to the next group of people to take over and come back to play chess with you."

The princess drove the horses to a place where Rhodes could not see, and handed over to the next round of guards.

Not long after, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Eleuil nimbly got in with the warmth of being exposed to the sun for a long time.

She took out the chessboard and the small box full of chess pieces from the carriage cabinet.

This kind of board game is a unique entertainment in Solancia, called Seshat Chess, but it can be played by two or four people.

All the chess pieces are made into images of various animal heads, and they devour each other on the chessboard. Whichever side's "nest" can't defend first, loses.

Rhodes chose the white side, and Eleuil took the black side.

The two played chess while chatting with each other.

"According to the distance, we will reach Vash the day after tomorrow."

"Yes, if you hurry up, you should be able to arrive by tomorrow evening."

"Or are you going to act like before?"

"No, Mortis and the others have never met the lord of this main city, so they don't know what kind of person they are." Aleuil frowned and thought for a moment, then put the deer head chess in his hand in a blank space.

Lotus nodded, holding the eagle head chess piece carved from white jade with two slender fingers on her right hand, shaking it slightly, as if she was a little hesitant.

The left hand was placed on the side of the chessboard, and the movements were stretched and natural. The red gold bracelet was placed on the thin white wrist, with an indescribable elegance and a subtle sense of confinement.

Aleuil lowered his eyes, as if looking at the chessboard, but his eyes had already slipped to the hand.

The right to play the chess returned to her hand. The princess twirled the chess piece between her fingers, and asked inadvertently, "Suddenly, I found something engraved on your bracelet. Is it a word?"

Rotas was startled, and subconsciously twirled the bracelet. The beautiful letters on the bracelet circled in a circle with the movement, and the outline at the end was lifted up, like wings slowly unfolding.

"Well, it's my name."

The princess said "ah" in a low voice: "Is this the text of the gods?"

"That's not true, it comes from a distant country." Rhodes smiled.

Aleuil: "...that's it."

She carefully observed Luo Dasi's expression, it was a kind of nostalgia that others could not touch, as if it was far away in the sky.

"You must like that country very much, and this kind of writing is also very beautiful, can I learn it?"

Rotas motioned her to look at the chessboard: "Wait until this game is over."

"Okay, you teach me if you lose, and I learn from you if you win, how about it?"

"can."

Not finding the difference between winning and losing rewards and punishments, Rhodes laughed and focused on the chess game.

When the chess pieces of the two sides were laid out on the chessboard, each occupying a large area of ​​the country, Eleuil was about to put a chess piece on it, when the tips of her ears moved suddenly, she stood up suddenly, and pulled Luo Dasi behind her.

Accompanied by the slight sound of breaking wind, a sharp arrow was firmly nailed to the outside of the carriage, with great force, the tip of the arrow even wedged into the wooden board, and a cold light could be seen faintly.

Less than a second later, there was a whining sound in front of him. It was the horse driving the cart that had been shot by an arrow. It screamed in pain and galloped forward like crazy.

The guard driving the car shouted loudly: "Your Highness! The arrow in the horse is out of control!"

They were walking around the mountain. The incident happened suddenly, and the surroundings seemed to be in chaos for a while. The horses rushed like this. Whether they were too fast or hit the mountain wall, they would overturn. At that time, they would not die or be seriously injured .

If Aleuil was alone in the car, she would definitely jump out of the car immediately, but the god was beside her——

Aleuil made a decisive decision: "Cut the rope!"

Before she finished speaking, she rushed to the car door like lightning, drew out her long sword without hesitation, and slashed at the rope on one side.

The personal guard reacted and slashed at the connecting rope on the other side with his sword. The sharp weapon on the battlefield could even pierce the enemy's armor, and the rope was cut off after a few cuts.

The horse, which had lost its weight, neighed, and the speed suddenly increased, rampaging, and disappeared in the nearby forest in the blink of an eye.

Due to inertia, the carriage continued to slide forward for a while, and then barely stopped wobbly.

Just as Luo Das was about to get up, the princess quickly said: "You stay in the car, I'll be right back."

After speaking, Eleuil jumped out of the car.

A scuffle had already begun outside the carriage, and the cavalry of the SS was fighting with a group of bandits.

Most of the opponents were also riding horses, wearing unrecognizable leather armor, and holding long knives in fierce movements, obviously they were not easy opponents to deal with.

Turning his gaze, there were still arrows shooting from the forest. A guard was unprepared, and was shot in the back, injured and fell off his horse. The gangster who was fighting with him laughed when he saw this, and stepped forward to make up the knife without hesitation.

Eleuil's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Seeing that the princess got out of the carriage, the arrows stopped, and then more sharp arrows poured down, pointing directly at Eleuil.

Aleuil brandished his long sword, blocked the arrows, and another personal guard arrived in time, surrounded her, and drove away all enemies who wanted to harm the princess.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Aleuil took down the longbow with his backhand, and shot out an arrow quickly, sinking into the forest.

Short screams echoed, and there was a commotion in the mountains and forests. Aleuil's expression remained unchanged, he adjusted the angle slightly, and continued to draw the string and nock the arrow.

Inescapable, like the music of death.

Until no more hidden arrows were shot in the mountains and forests, Aleuil put down his bow and slashed all the way with the long sword in his hand.

Bandits are bandits after all, although there are more in number, they are no match for the cavalry who have been fighting against foreigners on the battlefield all year round.

What's more, there was also the princess present. She once frightened the border with her own strength, so how could she be defeated by this group of mobs.

Seeing that there are fewer and fewer troops on his side, the bandit leader gritted his teeth: "Go!"

After speaking, he turned the horse's head first and galloped towards the forest on the other side.

This is their territory, and the bandit leader is well aware of how complicated the surrounding terrain is. As long as he can run into the forest, no matter how powerful the opponent is, he will not be able to complete the chase.

The moment he ran into the forest, the bandit leader felt relieved.

But soon, his eyes opened wide.

An arrow pierced through his back and pierced through his chest, precisely piercing through the heart that was beating rapidly due to the fierce fighting.

"Ahem...uh..."

Before the bandit leader could raise his hand, he fell to the ground unwillingly.

Aleuil looked at the scattered bandits who were fleeing from a distance, and shot arrows unhurriedly. Watching their backs disappear into the forest, she blew her whistle.

Two golden eagles fell aside.

"Go, don't make any noise, and watch where they are going." Eleuil's tone was cold.

The golden eagle sisters flew up after hearing the sound, and followed the escaped criminals far away.

Lena asked, "Your Highness, are you alright?"

Aleuil: "It's okay. You can count the casualties."

"Yes!"

"Motis, search."

The captain of the personal guard understood, and led his men to walk quickly towards the bandit's body.

After arranging everything, the coldness on Aleuil's face paused, and turned into eagerness and worry in the blink of an eye.

The princess rushed to the carriage, and expressed concern through the window: "Are you okay?"

Rhodes did not answer.

Her eyes were empty, she didn't know if it was an illusion, and her complexion was even a little pale.

Eleuil's heart tightened: "Rhodas?"

The next moment, Luotus suddenly came back to his senses, and his emotions returned to those frosty blue eyes.

"I'm fine." She smiled nonchalantly.

"Really? But you just—"

"I'm a god anyway." Luotus said helplessly, "They're waiting for you, let's deal with things first."

Aleuil frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "You can tell me."

Rhodes: "..."

The princess stared at her expression, as if she wanted to find something out of it. About three seconds later, Aleuil straightened up and walked towards the guards and caravan members who were still searching for the bandits.

Rhodes looked at the back of the princess, leaned back on the cushion, and took a deep and slow breath.

She raised her hand to press her forehead, feeling that the throbbing pain from just now still seemed to be there.

Earlier, when he saw sharp arrows attacking Eleuil, Rhodes subconsciously made a hand, and the water flow condensed into a rope, which was about to strangle the archer's throat.

But as soon as the water flow tightened, a burst of heart palpitations without warning enveloped her, followed by throbbing pain in her temples, the water flow could not be maintained, and dissipated in an instant.

For a moment, Rhodes thought the world stood still.

All the sounds and pictures were frozen at a certain point, and then operated slowly, like a slow motion, until Eleuil came to the front and called her name, and everything returned to normal in Lotus' cognition.

Rhodes was confused.

She didn't want to do anything big. Although taking human life was not a topic that could be easily discussed, compared to the identity of a god, it should have been easy to kill an ordinary person or a bandit blocking the way.

The fact is that Rhodes was hindered by some force.

That stuff—whatever it was—was preventing the gods from obliterating mortals, and preventing success.

Is it the rules that can override the gods?Or other similar consciousness, or the operating mechanism of myth itself?

Rhodes couldn't come to a conclusion for the time being, she twirled the bracelet, keeping these questions in her heart.

Searches of the dead bodies of the bandits yielded no useful information.

They didn't carry any special marks, they were of different ages, and they wore all kinds of clothes. They seemed to be just a group of ordinary bandits who wanted to make a fortune when they saw the caravan passing by.

But ordinary bandits, how could they have the guts to attack a caravan escorted by so many cavalry, and how could they target the princess?

Aleuil stood next to the corpse of the bandit leader, maintaining a thoughtful posture.

Occasionally, he looked down and saw blood splashed on the Xuetuhua amulet, paused for a moment, took out a handkerchief and wiped it carefully.

Then, the princess raised her golden eyes and looked at the mountain wall in front of her.

Bypassing this mountain is the city of Vash.
