Chapter 148 Convergence
Chapter 148 Convergence
Cecilia took the injured and met those who were looking for a place to stay first.
Almost everyone in this area knows that the ogres attacked from the Wakadi Mountains, and this place is not far from the city we just visited.
The first few people took a lot of effort to find a hotel that could provide accommodation.
The hotel looked run-down, with dim lights inside and a somewhat eerie look.
The few of them were not afraid that Cecilia would think the environment was bad and pick on it.
From my interactions with Cecilia along the way, I could tell that she was a person who didn't care about details. She wasn't picky about food or drink, nor was she picky about accommodation.
They were just worried that if Lord Babbitt knew about this, he would probably scold them.
The old woman asked the boss for some rice soup to feed her child.
The boss is a man of few words, and he seems to be in unusual harmony with the entire hotel.
He has a stern face, a hard and sour expression, and I always feel that he is the kind of villain who will stab you in the back.
But after hearing the old woman's request, he actually made a bowl of rice soup and brought it to the old woman.
When Cecilia arrived at the resting place, it was already night.
Only after seeing Cecilia return safely were they willing to go back and rest.
The next morning, after Cecilia arranged the conditions of the two wounded, she took the old woman and the child and left for the city of Aslade.
Cecilia originally intended to let the old woman and Calista stay here.
This place is much safer than Aslade City.
The old woman looked as if she was afraid of being abandoned. "You said you would take me with you. Are you going to ignore me now?"
Cecilia explained to her that the place she was going to was extremely dangerous.
But the old woman insisted, "You said you would take me with you, so I believed you."
Cecilia had no choice but to take the two of them with her.
We were delayed for a while and encountered some other demons along the way.
We will deal with those that can be dealt with, and we will not allow those that cannot be dealt with to wander around in human territory.
When we arrived at the city of Aslade, we saw the flag symbolizing the Droville army on the city wall from afar.
It seems that they are coming here faster than me.
Droville's men have arrived, and most of the people from the Wandering Adventurers' Guild are also here.
You can relax a little.
At least it wasn't too bad.
Droville has experience in fighting against the vampires, his soldiers have experience, and the Wandering Adventurers Guild also has experience.
Even the magicians who ease the assimilation process for the soldiers are now very skilled at it.
Half a month ago, the Rose Daily published some information about methods to improve magicians' magic level. After learning that it was a good thing, Drover distributed a copy to each magician.
By the way, I bought some more and distributed them to the soldiers in the camp, so that they could also see if they could acquire the talent to learn magic.
This almost threw the troops into disarray.
People who have just started to learn magic really need a magician who can guide them in the right direction, otherwise they might accidentally turn from a magician into a dark magician.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Droville quickly stopped.
This was how the situation was saved.
When he heard Cecilia coming, Drover's first reaction was -
How depressed is this princess? Doesn't she know that His Majesty is looking for her all over the kingdom? How much does she like this city of Aslaide?
The second reaction was, if Her Royal Highness the Princess came, would that powerful magician Leslie Ann come with her?
Droville had never fought a war combining magicians and ordinary soldiers before.
It was during this fight against the demons that he witnessed the power of the magician.
You have to know that he only has twelve magicians under his command.
He always wins by surprise on the battlefield.
Although this is inseparable from Peg's command.
Droville warmly welcomed Cecilia and others.
Drover felt somewhat disappointed when he did not see Valken and Leslian behind Cecilia.
He started thinking again and thought of sending the princess back to Petra.
After some greetings, Cecilia realized that Peg now held a high position in the Droville army.
Peg didn't hide it.
Droville saw the power of the weapons provided by Peg, as well as Peg's own talents, plus the huge guild of wandering adventurers behind her.
If Peg is not given a position in the army, it will be inconvenient when the war comes.
Cecilia thought again of the new weapons she had seen in the newspapers that were publicly announced by the Wandering Adventurers' Guild. They all had some prototypes of modern weapons.
Somewhat nonsensically, "Do you know Babbitt?"
Peg's Wandering Adventurer Guild was spread throughout the kingdom, and there was no way she didn't know about the Dukes who had territories throughout the kingdom.
Before, I went to the south to develop the business of the Wandering Adventurers Guild, and had the honor of dealing with Duke Babbitt.
"I know you."
Cecilia seemed to suddenly realize something and asked, "What do you think of him?"
This question is a bit strange.
Especially when Cecilia suddenly asked her if she knew Babbitt, it was already very strange.
Although he had a minor official position in the Droville army, it was still lower than that of Duke Babbitt. Moreover, looking at Cecilia's expression, it didn't seem like she wanted to hear him say bad things about Babbitt.
"The Duke of Babbitt is naturally a very good man. He has devoted himself to the development of the South and has sacrificed a lot. He also helped me a lot when I went to the South."
Peg's words were a bit unconscionable.
Don't even say that this is half true.
Not even 10 percent.
In Peg's view, Duke Babbitt was a ruthless businessman.
When I went to the south to negotiate with Duke Babbitt, I didn't reach an agreement with Babbitt in the end, and the Wandering Adventurers' Guild has not yet been established in the south.
The so-called help to me was nothing more than that Duke Babbitt "kindly" gave me a ride when I left Huguzhi City.
As expected, after hearing what I said, Her Royal Highness the Princess showed an expression of "as expected".
Peg was a little confused.
It looks like Her Royal Highness the Princess agrees with what I said?
But it is also true that Cecilia is a princess, and even if Duke Babbitt is a black-hearted person behind the scenes, he still needs to pretend to be a good person in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Babbitt's men stood behind Cecilia, listening to their lady asking others about the Duke's reputation.
Several people looked at each other and decided to report this matter to Lord Babbitt with exaggeration.
Lord Babbitt will be very happy when he finds out.
Even if the fact that he and his wife stayed in a shabby hotel was exposed in the future, Lord Babbitt might forgive them.
