Half a month later, on the official road of the Austin Empire's town of Baudrey, a caravan entered the town in an orderly fashion.
It was a caravan of around thirty people in several carriages. There were no family emblems on the carriages, but they had the common symbol of Lochet's side. This meant that the caravan didn't belong to a noble family, but was under the banner of one of Lochet's many merchant guilds.
Without a noble background, they naturally wouldn't alarm any local nobles, but for a remote mountain village like Baudrey, the arrival of a caravan was something new, and attracted the attention of the townspeople.
It had to be said that this time's gathering was very rewarding. For example, they saw a pair of beautiful children who looked like they'd walked out of a painting.
They were a black-haired youth and a silver-haired girl in the middle carriage of the caravan. The two of them were in the same carriage, and seemed to be a young fiancée.
If you asked why they were husband and wife, the first reason was naturally because they were in the same carriage. The second reason was that although the two of them were very beautiful, the color of their hair and eyes was too different. As for the third reason, it was that the two of them were very affectionate.
Every time they appeared, the black-haired youth and the silver-haired girl would stick together, either hugging or holding hands. The expression on the youth's face was fine, while the girl had a happy smile.
The married women of the town were all too familiar with this expression. They were completely immersed in love, so all kinds of guesses arose. Among them, the rumour that the young master of a merchant guild had brought his fiancée on a pre-wedding trip was the most colourful.
Luo Ya didn't know about these things, and was used to Ai Lisi hugging and hugging since childhood. Even if he knew that he was being misunderstood, he couldn't be bothered to explain, even if he knew that Ai Lisi was always acting intimately in front of outsiders.
All of Alisa's mistakes can be forgiven, this is Roja's theorem, and so far it hasn't been broken. The boy's love for the silver-haired girl is real, even if she made a mistake, it's still the same.
Luo Ya attributed the girl's muddle-headed night attack at the beginning of the journey as a prank. Cynthia and the others didn't dare to raise any objections, but there was no doubt that those who had seen Ai Lisi crawl into bed didn't believe it.
Faced with this situation, Luo Ya had no choice but to strictly order everyone not to spread the news. However, Ai Lisi, who wanted the whole world to know about the night attack so that she wouldn't be able to get married, was very dissatisfied with this order. She could only reveal to Cynthia and the others that the two of them were actually foster siblings.
When Cynthia found out that Luo Ya was not related to Ai Lisi by blood, she heaved a sigh of relief. She was glad that her Holy Son did not violate ethics and was an ordinary person with common sense. But then, the way she looked at Ai Lisi changed.
That was the way he looked at his mistress.
After all, from Cynthia's point of view, the two of them had already shared the same bed. Wasn't their future marriage already set in stone? However, what she didn't know was that Luo Ya's bed was comparable to the city walls of Russia during the Hundred Years War.
As the saying went, the flag on the city wall changed. Ai Lisi's army only had the upper hand for a while, but this didn't hinder Cynthia and Ai Lisi's relationship by leaps and bounds. After finding out that the two of them weren't related by blood, the Perseverance Church also chose to side with the siblings during their daily public displays of affection.
The Holy Son and Miss Ai Lisi's relationship today was also very good.
Cynthia ordered her subordinates to carry the wine while looking in the direction of the carriage with a warm smile. On the carriage, Luo Ya was currently staring at the cup in his hand and swirling it around.
After entering the town, Luo Ya ordered his subordinates to collect the scattered Kade wine in the shops and even the houses of the residents. As for himself, he directly went to the town's best tavern to buy a cup. Regarding this wine that had a history of more than a thousand years, Luo Ya, as a historian, was actually quite interested in it.
It had to be said that it was really cheap. Two copper coins for a cup, and there was also a piece of sweet lime in it. According to the tavern owner, it was too bitter, and some people couldn't drink it if they didn't put it in. Luo Ya heard this and tasted it on the spot, but he almost spat it out.
Due to the brewing process, the alcohol content of Kade wine wasn't high. Perhaps it was because of the mushrooms, but it had a valiant and numbing taste. However, the taste was really bad.
Bitter, it was quite bitter, and there was a faint smell of the earth. Compared to the specialty wine of Akat Hill, it was completely opposite.
Because it was too disgusting, Luo Ya didn't bring a cup for Ai Lisi. When he returned, the girl's reaction after tasting it proved that Luo Ya's behavior was correct.
It was obvious that the local specialty didn't satisfy Luo Ya, but for Luo Ya, who had personally come to the Austin Empire for the first time, there was more to observe. As a lord, it was necessary to visit foreign cities and learn from advanced experiences.
After a series of observations, Luo Ya discovered that the Austin Empire wasn't as rich and powerful as he imagined. At the very least, the construction of the mountain towns was very poor, and even fell behind the southern mountains of Akat Hill that Luo Ya had ruled for a few years. Moreover, the residents' sense of belonging to the Austin Empire was also very poor.
The term "pureblood faction" didn't have any roots here, so the inexplicable sense of superiority naturally didn't exist. This made Luo Ya feel very comfortable.
Thinking about it, when one didn't even have enough food and clothing, who would care about the bloodline of the kingdom? It was just a bubble bubble when one fainted from hunger.
After a day of observation, Luo Ya once again confirmed the core idea of Akat Hill's economic development as the core. After selling some daily necessities, replenishing food, and collecting more than 20 barrels of Kade wine, Luo Ya's group also completed their mission here. After a rare night of rest in the hotel, they embarked on the journey to Charon Forest early the next morning.
In the forest, a middle-aged man with brown hair and a gray-haired old man were moving forward in a chaotic forest.
The middle-aged man was called Rodney, and the old man was called Wood. Both of them were village chiefs, and part-time leaders of the pagan power sect.
As the village chief and the leader of a sect, they undoubtedly had a good status, but now their appearance could only be described as embarrassing.
Rodney was still young compared to Wood. He had strong firepower when he fought, so the clothes on his body were particularly tattered. The stick could be used as a mop. The gray-haired old man's situation was better. His body was wrapped in a wolf skin jacket, but most of the fur had fallen off. When the wind blew, it didn't move, so it was bald like a leather jacket.
Obviously, the two people's dressing was very unsuitable for their identity. As for why, it was a long story.
Since the village of the power sect had been targeted by the cultists because of the "scale of the snake god," it had been three years. In three years, Rodney and others had moved home twice. They were forced to cross the mountains and escape to the Charon Forest where people rarely went. At the same time, the whole village activated Spirit Vision to look for clues about the god and the son of God.
