Chapter 139 138 The Caravan From the Earldom

Chapter 139 -138- The caravan from the Earldom

The June sun is always getting warmer and warmer.

It has been three days since the church's failed judgment that the citizens talked about with relish, and two days since the Balrog vision that woke many people up.

Although the drinkers in the tavern still mentioned the lucky Rose Club in the Holy Judgment when they were drunk, they still discussed whether the Balrog in the night sky was real or an illusion, and whether the light that killed the Balrog was the Duke, the High Priest, or someone else...

But in any case, the past is over, and the city of Boulder quickly returned to its former tranquility.

This is the world of Miria.

The existence of extraordinary power is no secret. Although people are surprised by various visions and great powers, their acceptance ability, especially in a big city like Boulder with a third-level Blazing Sun... has always been strong.

Of course, more importantly, the Duke's Mansion and the Church have not explained the vision that night. Although there are all kinds of incredible rumors, since even the Church has not appeared to explain, and has not further alienated the people, it means that the vision that night has been resolved and there is no big deal.

Today, many people have shifted their attention to the north gate of Boulder City.

Especially the residents of the outer city, those children running all over the street.

They gathered outside the city gate, looking at the wide road leading to the north of the city, with expectations on their faces.

Today is the day when the convoy of the Castel family escorts supplies into the city. It has been like this on the 20th of every month for many years.

With the development of space magic technology, although teleportation arrays and space rings have gradually become popular among extraordinary people, considering the operating costs and some inherent defects of space technology, long-distance transportation still needs to rely on ordinary convoys.

The same is true for the wealthy Castel family.

For the children in the outer city, this day of each month is their lucky day.

"Hasn't it come yet?"

"It should be coming soon, right? It's about this time every month!"

"I wonder how many silver tana I can pick up today!"

Looking at the end of the horizon, the children discussed excitedly.

However, outside the city gate, the most eye-catching thing is not these gathered children.

The most eye-catching thing is a group of people standing on the roadside.

The gorgeous carriage is carved with exquisite and complex patterns, and the black eagle logo on the side is particularly eye-catching.

Boys and girls in black and white uniforms stand respectfully, surrounded by a gorgeous umbrella cover, blocking the scorching sun in the sky.

And under the umbrella cover, a girl in a black and red Gothic skirt is sitting on a temporary lounge chair, looking into the distance.

Many pedestrians coming and going find it difficult to take their eyes off the beautiful girl.

Some merchants who came to Boulder for the first time could not help but ask their companions and guides about her origins:

"Who is that beautiful noble girl? She has such a good temperament! Is she the daughter of a noble family?"

However, they often received contemptuous expressions from their companions or residents of Boulder:

"Who is it? Didn't you see the family emblem on the side of the carriage?"

When these merchants noticed the logo on the side of the carriage, they soon realized it, and looked at the girl with curiosity, longing and yearning:

"The two-headed black eagle... turned out to be from the Castel family! So, she is the heir of Castel?"

"Charlotte! She is Charlotte! Castel The pearl of the world, the richest girl in Borde!"

"I heard that whoever can marry her will get half of the Duchy of Borde as a dowry! The wealth of the entire Star Moon Lowlands will be in his arms!"

"Hey, that's a thing of the past. You don't know that Castel's heir is a devout believer of the Holy Land. She has decided not to marry for life and will donate her territory to the church after returning to the Kingdom of God."

"Hiss... is it true? That's a pity!"

"Donate to the church? Is the Duke of Borde willing? Is His Majesty the King willing?"

"Then I don't know. The affairs of the nobles and priests are not our concern."

The pedestrians talked about it.

And Charlotte, who was sensitive, also heard everyone's discussion about her.

"I am really famous... There are so many people who care about me when I leave the city gate."

She couldn't help but laugh at herself.

Beside her, Sebastian smiled and complimented her, as skillfully as ever:

"Of course, my dear master, no matter where you go, your brilliance will make you the focus."

Charlotte:...

She ignored Sebastian's meaningless flattery, but looked at the increasingly dazzling sunlight.

Even with the umbrella cover blocking her, the scattered light still made her uncomfortable.

As if noticing the girl's discomfort, Quasimodo, who was standing on the other side, couldn't help but say:

"Master, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, actually... you don't have to come to greet them in person."

"It doesn't matter. As the head of Castel, I think it's necessary for me to personally greet the family knights who came from afar after inheriting the position of head of the family."

Charlotte said with a smile.

Of course, the actual reason was that she was quite curious about the armored knights in the world of Miria. She had played them a lot in the game in her previous life, but she had never seen them in real life.

War horses and armor are also men's romance!

As the children looked on expectantly, gradually, they saw a cloud of smoke spreading at the end of the horizon.

Some older children's eyes suddenly lit up:

"Here they come! Here they come! I think I see the flag of Castel!"

Charlotte's heart moved slightly.

She looked in the direction of the smoke and soon saw a group of people at the end of her sight.

The first thing that came into view was an armored knight wearing a black cloak, and the black warhorse under him was also armored, majestic and extraordinary.

On his side, two armored knights with black eagle flags behind them followed, one on the left and one on the right.

Far away, carriages loaded with goods gradually appeared in the field of vision under the escort of armored knights in uniform.

"Here they come! They come!"

The children cheered and ran towards the caravan excitedly.

The Castel family's caravan would throw rewards before and after entering the city, all of which were silver tana, which was very attractive to them.

And Charlotte stood up unconsciously, also looking at the approaching armored knight with some excitement.

Knight!

Knight from the territory!

Knight belonging to her!

After crossing over, she had been alone for so long, and she had built up her own power bit by bit. When she saw the caravan, she finally felt for the first time that she was really an earl...

The caravan was approaching in a mighty procession.

When he saw the carriage of the Castel family in front of the city gate and the blonde girl surrounded by maids and waiters, the leading armored knight quickly became serious.

He patted the horse's back, and the black horse under him sped up, and soon left the team and rushed to the front of everyone.

He got off the horse, the dusty armored knight knelt on one knee, saluted respectfully in front of Charlotte, and said in a deep voice:

"Sharon... meet Miss Charlotte!"
