Gate of the Cross

Chapter 55 The Death of Jiang'an

Fland Arena.

Disol took out a map and laid it flat on the table and invited Xinjie to come and watch together. "The Kingdom of France is divided into three continents. We are now located on Freya Island in the center, Sochia in the south and Salina in the north."

His hand stroked on the map, "The place you want to go is here, the village of Il in the east, which is a port village with regular ships to other countries. However, because of the increasing movement of the demon clan recently, I heard that His Majesty is ready to order the port to block the port and strictly prohibit ships from going to sea."

"Closed the country?" Xinjie suddenly opened his mouth.

"Closed the country?" Disol realized the beauty of this word and patted his hands. "This word is used well. It's the closure of the country~! I don't know what the people in the palace think. The more they are at this time, the less they should do it. Xinjie, is this the word of your world?

Xinjie nodded. His country once had a history of humiliation, starting from the closure of the country, so everyone hated this word.

"Let's not talk about this," Disol shook his head. "It will take about three or five days from France to Il Village. It depends on your footfall and road conditions. The magic array protects the magic array leaving the town. It happens from time to time that the demon clan attacks pedestrians, so you'd better go on the road with people."

"Do you have to go for so long?" Xinjie still didn't know much about the geographical size of the Kingdom of France and asked.

Disol nodded solemnly, "You don't have to worry about safety in your current strength, but it is inevitable that there will be some delays on the road." After saying this, he suddenly smiled, "But as long as you have been to Il Village this time, you don't have to rush to go there in the future."

"Why?" Xinjie asked puzzledly, can you fly there directly after going there once?

"When you arrive at Il Village, remember to visit the village head's house, and you will understand." Disol's childlike innocence suddenly rose and wanted to see how this calm teenager would react. If it were someone else, it would be very uncomfortable not to ask clearly, right?

Xinjie nodded, "I know, I'll go."

"It's really expected," Disol smiled at the corners of his mouth, "Unfortunately, if it's not the first time you go out, you can go with them."

"Edward Dan and Duran Garbo?" Although he had only introduced it once, Xinjie, who had a good memory, suddenly realized that Disol was talking about them.

"Yes," Disol said regretfully, "They are the representatives sent by the Swordsmen Alliance to support the village of Arut. If you have been to that village before, you can go with them. This is also a kind of experience for you... But now you'd better go to Il Village to find Thomas to learn the Holy Shield."

Xinjie nodded and noticed another meaning in Disor's words, "Alyut Village?"

Disol saw Xinjie's clear eyes and thought for a moment and said, "Let you know that the village of Aryut has been attacked by a large number of demons, and it can no longer be resisted by the garrison of the village alone, so the village head sent a signal to the Kingdom of France."

Speaking of this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, this kind of thing happens from time to time. Although the backbone is still a soldier of the Kingdom of France, each profession always sends a few people to help. It is also customary for various professional combinations to deal with demons. I believe that things will be solved soon."

"Is there anything else?" Disol asked after saying this.

Xinjie thought for a moment and said, "No more."

Disol, who is used to Xinjie's way of speaking, also nodded, "Well, you can go when you are ready. You can never become a real swordsman by staying in the flange city and receiving the protection of the wall."

Xinjie and Disol chatted for a while and listened to him some precautions for going out before leaving the arena. As a professional mentor, Disol is very conscientious and responsible, but Xinjie thinks that this may also have something to do with the small number of swordsmen. There are only a few people in total. If they are no longer good to them, they may all run away.

After leaving the arena, Xinjie went straight back to the hotel and began to pack his bags. He planned to leave for Il Village tomorrow. However, you should at least tell Nanali and Gene before you leave. Yesterday, Nanali has been complaining for a long time. It is estimated that it will take ten days and a half months to go out this time. It is definitely impossible not to tell her.

Nightfall soon, and Nanali and Gene also returned to the hotel one after another. Today, the Snow Dragon Soul did not come, and she did not come every day. After all, the Great Hall has a lot of work to do.

"What, are you going to Il Village tomorrow?"

Hearing Xinjie talk about this during dinner, Gene was very surprised, "What are you going to do there? I heard from the Knights that it should be in the easternmost part of Freya Island, and it can't be walked in three or five days, right?

Nanali also felt very strange, "Your injury has just healed. Why do you want to go so far?"

"Learn the Holy Shield." Xinjie explained.

"Holy shield!" Nanali and Gene understood, "Are you going to study in Il Village?"

Xinjie nodded and told the two about the important conversation between him and Desol today.

"So that's it. Then you should be careful. I heard from the Knights that the road has not been peaceful in the past two days, and our Knights have also sent several people to support Alute Village. The demon activities there are very rampant, and there have been several attacks."

"Gin, won't you go?" Xinjie asked.

"I can't," Gene said regretfully, "Something has happened in the palace recently. Our knights and soldiers may not be able to return to where they live from tomorrow and will stay in the palace."

"What's so exaggerated that you won't let you go home?" Nanali asked curiously.

Gene said hesitantly, "It's a little unpleasant to say. It's a royal scandal..."

As soon as Nanali heard this, she became energetic and hurriedly urged, "Say it, say it!"

Xinjie was not as interested in those things as Nanali. He asked, "Is Bi Anza also with you?"

"Yes, I remember talking about him. He returned home after recovering from his injury. Thank us very much! If the soldiers had not been stricter than our knights and were not allowed to leave without permission, he would have come to see you with me. Gene said with a smile, "Now he still runs from the regiment to the knights to chat with me from time to time. Anyway, he is very close."

"Don't change the topic. What's the scandal in the royal family?" Nanali was a little unhappy when she heard that the two were involved with Bi Anza again. Bi Anza didn't know her, and she was more interested in the previous topic.

"This..." Gene looked at Xinjie with an embarrassed face, meaning that you said something and quickly stopped this hot-headed girl.

How did Xinjie know that when he saw Gene looking at him, he looked at Nanali's eager eyes and nodded, "It's okay to say this."

โ€œ......โ€

Gene looked speechlessly at Nanali's eyebrows with joy, and then looked at the expressionless Xinjie, as if he didn't realize that his words had quietly increased a little favorability. I can't help sighing secretly, "Is this the legendary calm sister?"

Gene sighed and said, "... Just say it, but don't say it, Xinjie, I'm relieved..." He looked at Nanali, and the meaning in his eyes was quite obvious. I can't believe you!

Nanali suddenly became unhappy, "What do you mean? Am I that kind of person?"

Gene secretly said that maybe it's true, but he won't say it. Seeing Nanali's appearance that she didn't want to give up, he could only continue to say:

"...Xinjie, do you still remember the queen? Is that the one sitting next to the king when he met you?

Xinjie nodded. He was still impressed by the queen, because at that time, the king only said, "So you are not the legendary hero. Go down" and left directly. Instead, the queen said a few more words to him and advised him not to call him here without permission and send him back because of the Kingdom of France. Get angry about this.

Instead, local residents like Nanali have never seen kings and queens. They don't care when they hear this, but ask, "What's wrong with the queen?"

Gene looked at Nanali. Are women so gossipy? He remembered that when she went to Bi Anza's house a few days ago, even her good wife and mother were very interested in this issue.

"Yesterday, the palace bodyguard was arrested by the king's order..." Gene took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Although the reason for the order is dereliction of duty, I heard that it was actually because he had an affair with the queen and was discovered by the king, so..."

"Jiang'an? I've heard of this man. There are many girls in the Archer's Guild who like him. I heard that he is a gentle and virtuous person!" Nanali said, "How could he do such a thing? What will happen to him?"

Gene rolled his eyes helplessly. The gentle and virtuous woman was used to describe whether she was good or not. Seeing Nanali's regretful appearance, she said angrily, "That little white face was ordered by the king to be executed and will be executed tomorrow."

"What a pity..."

What's the pity... Gene shook his head helplessly and said, "I've seen the man named Chang'an, but he's really good-looking, with thieves and ghosts..."

"Nanali, are you going?" Xinjie suddenly said to Nanali.

"Me?" When Nanali heard Xinjie's question, her heart suddenly beat a little and thought, "Is he inviting me?" But if she agrees directly, will it be too reserved, and only two people have to walk on the road for several days, lonely men and women... She looked at Xinjie and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Can't you say such words later? She has to ask at this time.

"Well, I have to think about it. Maybe something happened to the Archers Guild recently, so I can't go." Nanali did not tell Xinjie and Gene that she had temporarily left the Archers Guild, so she took this out to block it for a while and talk to Xinjie alone later.

"Well, I'll go alone."

Xinjie nodded and said.
