In this evening, a fancy horse drawn carriage slowly rode across a road in the Kete province . This carriage was made with first class materials, with a symbol carved on it, an iris wrapped around two crossing swords, a crown on top of the hilts . Two swords meant that this family once had a marshal served the king, and the crown meant they were blood related to the royal family .
There were ten knights in light armor surrounding the car . Although the armors are of good quality, the knights weren’t high in spirits . Mard sat next to the carriage driver with a straw in his mouth . He looked at the sky then knocked on the carriage’s window . “Master Duwei, should we find a place to rest? It’s getting dark . ”
“Fine . ” As Duwei answered, a knight on horse rode towards the carriage from afar and said, “Supervisor, there’s a town ahead, it seems like our only place to rest tonight . ”
“Master Duwei ordered, we should rest ahead tonight . ” Mard said .
There were only twenty knights that followed Duwei from the imperial city . A vice general could only afford to have twenty knights to accompany his eldest son to their family territory . How shabby it is . You have to know those nobility in the imperial city would bring a team of servants and guards to even a picnic .
Even these twenty knights were specially picked . Everyone knew Duwei lost the right to heir, so no one wanted to follow him and live life in a rural area . These twenty knights were either low in combat skills, or rejected by their comrades, or young and naive .
Ever since the group left the imperial city, everyone was feeling down except Duwei . He was the only one staying normal . He had not complained once . He just sat in the carriage and read books he brought .
Jumu Town was the only town in a hundred miles . There were a few hundred families in this town, but only one tavern, the Jumu Tavern . And since it’s the only tavern, their business was not bad . They had cheap alcohol, cheap roasts, cheap prostitutes . . . even people of the lower class needed entertainments too right?
When Duwei’s carriage arrived at the tavern, he closed his book, and walked out . This group immediately caught the attention of everyone at the tavern .
Duwei came in at last . By the time he’s inside, the knights already did their job and cleaned up a table . The people were examining Duwei . His attire and emblem denoted his nobility .
“Oh a noble . ”
“Why would a noble come to our place . ”
“Owner, I think you should put away the chair he sat on, maybe you can sell it for a good price . ”
After a while of silence, everyone in the tavern started talking about the group .
Duwei calmly drank his alcohol . Even when people were gesticulating at him, he only frowned a little .
At this moment, a group of three men and one girl came into the tavern . They had a weary face, and dressed in inexpensive attires . Obviously not locals . Foreigners just like Duwei .
The tavern went silent again . All the men had their eyes fixed on the girl . This girl was about eighteen or nineteen, has brown hair, and a beautiful face . She’s wearing a leather armor emitting faint blue glow, with special patterns carved on it, a short skirt showing most of her leg, a dagger on her belt, a scimitar hanging from her waist, and carrying a bow and quiver behind her back . The quiver was filled with silver arrows .
Duwei could recognize those arrows were made of pure silver . How extravagant!
The girl’s companions, one was bulky with heavy armor and carrying a large shield . You could see that he’s the strength type . Another was tall and slender, carried a longbow on his shoulders . He had long fingers and a metal ring . It was obvious that he was an archer . The last one was who Duwei paid the most attention to .
This was a man in gray robe with a common face . Common enough that most people would ignore him . But Duwei noticed him because of a silver leaf emblem on his chest . People in this rural area may not recognize it but Duwei and his knights recognized that emblem . One leaf denotes that he’s a level one magician . Even though he’s only level one, but he’s a real magician that obtained certification from the magician’s guild .
