Chapter 158 Welcoming
Ding... Ding...
The silver wind chimes hanging on the corners of the leading carriage kept making crisp sounds.
On the vast green plain, a small river like a silver ribbon meandered on the green carpet. The afternoon sun was not very warm, and gusts of cold wind blew.
The golden caravan slowly moved forward along the river, like a golden snake on the green carpet.
More than a hundred royal cavalrymen wearing silver armor were divided into three teams, front, middle and back, to guard the caravan.
"How long will it take to get to Highland City?" A girl's voice came from a luxurious carriage.
"Princess, it will take about half a day to cross the Huili Plain." Knight Tuo answered with an estimate.
In the carriage.
Julia, with blonde hair, sat impatiently. In front of her was a thick blue book, which had been turned to the last few pages.
She listened to the sound of horse hooves and wind chimes, and her heart became more and more irritated. She threw away the book and opened the window.
A gust of cold wind blew in and hit Yulia's face, instantly blowing away the depression in her heart.
"Princess, be careful not to catch a cold." Knight Tuo rode his warhorse to the window and reminded.
Yulia looked at the middle-aged knight whose beard went around his chin and finally connected to his temples. He couldn't tell whether it was a beard or hair. Her mood, which had just recovered a little, suddenly became unhappy again. She slammed the window shut.
Knight Tuo was not angry either. He smiled and walked away.
He knew that the little princess was holding back a grudge and was not satisfied with His Majesty marrying her to the Soros family.
But what can she do if she is not satisfied? Born in the royal family, she enjoyed the wealth and glory that ordinary people could not even look up to, so she should bear the corresponding responsibilities.
Knight Tuo looked at the time and was about to order the convoy to stop and prepare lunch when he turned his head and looked ahead.
Where the sky and the earth meet, a black cloud floated in at a high speed.
Boom boom boom!
The dull sound of horse hooves rolled in.
"Be alert!!!" Knight Tuou's eyes condensed, he drew the knight's sword at his waist, and quickly organized defense.
After he issued the order, the Royal Knights rushed out in an orderly manner and formed a defense line in front of the convoy.
However, the knights on the opposite side came faster and appeared in their field of vision in just a few seconds.
The black heavy armor was engraved with fine carvings, and the black cloak behind was flying in the wind.
Even though they marched quickly, the formation was still neat and there was no disorder. The knight in the front held a flag with a dark red pattern composed of three long swords.
Knight Tuou's eyes were full of brilliance, and he recognized the emblem on the flag.
It was the Soros family!
Looking at this elite knight team with great momentum, he thought that His Majesty's decision was correct.
...
"Master, the twelfth princess who came to hold the enthronement ceremony is about to arrive, you should go to greet her." Butler Jose advised earnestly.
"No, she's not legless, she can just walk in by herself."
Lu He didn't even raise his head, holding a knife and carefully carving runes on the bow.
Beside him, Sai Erya supported her chin with her right hand, looking at Lu He with admiration in her eyes.
Lu He was upgrading her little green bow.
Because he planned to solidify the cold arrow grass later, when he saw the half-elf practicing archery today, Lu He asked her to teach him archery to prepare for this talent spell later.
He didn't know how to shoot arrows. He learned swords, guns and other weapons on Earth, but he didn't learn archery.
First, he didn't expect it, and second, there were very few people on Earth who were proficient in archery.
Lu He learned very quickly. With the half-elf, a natural archery master, teaching him, and his subtle control of his body, he was able to shoot a halberd at the gate in just half a day.
As tuition for archery training, Lu He helped Sai Erya upgrade her little green bow.
Another reason is that this green bow with extremely rough enchantment has been dangling in front of him for the whole morning, which makes him feel uncomfortable and can't bear to watch it.
The direction of the transformation is to remove the extra runes on the bow to enhance the effect of concentration and strengthening.
A few more runes will be engraved to make the energy flow more violent and fast.
In addition, he plans to add armor-breaking, blasting, hemolysis and other characteristics to Celya's arrows.
Finally, he plans to change the color of the bow to blue.
The workload is still quite a lot, so I won't take it.
Seeing the master of the house like this, Butler Jose shook his head helplessly and turned around to arrange to welcome the twelfth princess.
...
In the evening.
Under the protection of more than a dozen royal knights, Yulia's carriage slowly drove into the gate of the manor.
A noble and majestic momentum came to the face.
The gun team composed of servants and elite soldiers of Soros Manor all knelt on one knee and bowed their heads to salute.
The knights of the Soros family, led by Mark, were different. They did not kneel, but clenched their right fists, bent them in front of their chests, and bowed slightly.
Unlike these ordinary citizens, they were only loyal to the Soros family.
"Welcome to Soros Manor, your highness." Butler Jose led a group of nobles and officials from Highland City to greet them.
Yulia did not go to Highland City, but came here directly, so after receiving the news, they all gathered at the manor.
"Get up."
Yulia walked out of the carriage under the guidance of the maid, stood on the carriage and scanned the whole scene, nodding slightly.
"Where is the head of the Soros family? Didn't he come to greet us?" Yulia's voice was a little cold.
She had seen Sauron's portrait and was impressed by his black hair, so she knew at a glance that Sauron was not in the team that was welcoming her.
Butler Jose bowed slightly and explained with a smile: "Knowing that you are tired from the journey, the master of the family is personally urging the servants to prepare dinner and specially sent the old slave to greet you."
"Master Sauron is really thoughtful!"
"The Soros family has always paid attention to etiquette. Only when receiving distinguished guests will the host personally arrange the dinner."
"Although Master Sauron is young, he has the demeanor of a head of the family."
The nobles and officials behind Butler Jose flattered him.
Yulia's expression eased slightly, and she nodded.
"Princess, please."
Led by Butler Jose, the group walked along the main road of the manor to the castle villa.
Butler Jose introduced the scenery and buildings along the manor to everyone while walking.
Ten minutes later.
Yulia entered the villa, which was brightly lit, and a sumptuous dinner had indeed been prepared in the hall.
Golden roasted lamb, fragrant stewed beef, fragrant black caviar, fruit platters of various colors, large chunks of black-sauce steaks.
There were also carefully made vegetable rolls with unknown contents, and various drinks.
There were also many servants standing next to the restaurant.
But she didn't see the black hair.
