Chapter 5 The Choice of Normandy (4)

Ella still remembers that she was deceived by the "Radish Currency Act" and bought radishes on a large scale. She fully agreed with the duke's judgment - except for the nervous Earl of France, no one could have created such a bill.

"Since I have confirmed that the consul is in Versailles, I should pack up my troops and set off immediately." The Duke said, "Give me two days to arrange the affairs of the territory. From today on the third morning, we will set off together."

Things were settled. In order to avoid too much contact with the outside world and leaking news, the Duke arranged for Ella to stay in the castle. In order to make it more similar, he chose some leopard skins from Ella's goods to decorate his residence. These leopard skins have been corroded by Ravi's acid, but as long as it is said that it is a strange hunting method for foreigners, it is not impossible to get confused.

That night, all the court officials in the castle drank hot cocoa, and warriors such as Autmok told the story of Aztland at the banquet. Everyone was relished, and no one was doubtful about the Duke's staying in this caravan.

"Send someone to contact Hestein," Ella whispered to Amy at the banquet, "just say that the itinerary to Ile de France has been set. The Duke of Normandy will set out with us."

"Huh?" Amy's Aira was shocked, "I thought His Majesty would definitely say not to tell Hestein and sneak away."

"Hestein is more difficult than I thought. Even if he doesn't tell him, he may have a way to investigate it clearly." Ella whispered in Amy's ear, "so we use the trick, tell him the itinerary directly, and let him relax his vigilance. But, somewhere can be a little wrong...Aren't we going from the third day from today? Let's tell him it's the third day from tomorrow. No matter how smart he is, he will definitely be fooled."

Amy regretted that she felt that Ella was well-behaved at that moment.

The trip was being prepared smoothly. Hestein did not come with him when he set out early in the morning of the third day.

In addition to the more than ten people in Ella's team, the Duke himself brought more than 30 people, a total of fifty people in the entire team. Walking in the front were ten fully armed knights, and the Duke's son was among them. The Duke himself was in a carriage. Ella and others walked and followed the last of the team.

When the carriage passed by Ella, the duke pushed open the curtains and apologized to Ella: "Actually, I wanted to ride a horse too, so I could still guard it next to me, but my body had just recovered and I couldn't bear it. Please forgive me, the King of Sweden."

Ella didn't mind at all. Her current identity was in a caravan, and if she rode a horse or sat in a carriage, it would make others suspicious.

Awutmok and others were very interested in these knights. They had met the Duke's son yesterday, who was a normal person. There was a horse suddenly below today, and they realized that this was not a half-man and half-horse monster.

"How do you ride this thing? How many roads can you run in a day? How do you control them to turn? Do you eat grass or meat? Will you trip over stones? Will we be punished by God when we ride on their backs..."

They were asking these questions all the way, which was very noisy. But because this was very consistent with the image of "a strange caravan" set by Ella, Amy didn't stop it.

"It would be great if we had this thing too," Awutmok sighed. "In this way, my troops will not be tired easily."

He was captured by Amy because of a long-distance raid, and he always kept this failure in mind.

The population gradually became less and they had moved away from the castles and towns and entered the countryside. As noon approached, the entire team suddenly stopped.

"What's going on?" The duke stuck his head out of the carriage. The emergency stop just now almost made his head hit the carriage's carriage.

His son rode over on his horse and replied, "Father, there is a pile of rocks in front of him blocking the road, and the carriage cannot pass."

"Have there been piles of rocks?" the Duke shook his head, "I didn't expect that no one has been here for so long."

"Why did you stop? Is it going to have lunch?" Ella rushed up from behind, "I said, it's rare to run out of this wilderness. Should I go and have some wild game to try?"

"The road has been useless for too long and has been blocked by rocks." The Duke shouted to Ella through the car window, "Stay for a while, wait until we clear the rocks before moving forward. There is a baron leader in front, where we rest."

"Rock pile?"

Ella tilted her head, and a hint of suspicion appeared in her eyes.

None of them noticed that on the hill beside the road, hundreds of pairs of eyes were staring at them secretly.

"Mr. Osor, it has been confirmed that it is the Duke of Normandy and his group."

"I know, I saw that the problem is that it's not just the Duke of Normandy, but the others in trouble with them."

That Osor was the leader of this team. He bent and hid in the dense forest, pressed his right hand carefully, indicating that the people behind him should not act rashly.

"Is that group of people in strange costumes? I know them. They were caravans who arrived in Normandy a few days ago. They acted strangely, but they should not be a threat."

"What do you know?" Osol glared at the person who spoke, "Did you see that woman?"

“Which?”

"The one with magic."

"A total of three women, I don't feel anyone has magic?"

"That's the biggest problem. A few years ago, that woman was an elf-level magician, and now she can't detect magic. Do you know what this means?"

Osor stared at Amy standing beside Ella, his eyes full of fear.

"It's because of this that I didn't even dare to ask for a commission before... This time my employer didn't say he wanted to deal with these people."

"I know, I have to ask the employer to increase the money afterwards, right?"

"You don't even have to pay more! How many lives do you have?" Osor knocked hard on the head of the ignorant subordinate, "This job can't be done, let's withdraw!"

"Retreat? Lord Osor, that's a lot of money!"

"……Too."

In Osor's gloomy eyes, the Duke of Normandy in a gorgeous outfit walked off the carriage and went to the pile of stones with Ella to check the situation.

"Think about it carefully, the employer only needs to cause serious injuries that are difficult to heal and cannot let the guests die immediately. He did not say that we had to rush out and fight with them, right?"

"Yes...but if you don't tie the Duke up, how could you get such a perfect injury?"

"It's not impossible."

Osor took off the bow on his back without saying a word and hit an arrow.

"This pile of stones is newly put on!"

Ella shouted anxiously below

"Hurry up, everyone, hide behind the carriage!"
