Wheels rolled on the deserted streets, with few pedestrians on the streets because no one was willing to endure the biting cold wind at night.

Feeling the vibration of the carriage, Winnie shrank in the carriage and wrapped herself tightly with a thick coat. However, even so, the cold wind would still frequently pour into the gaps in the carriage and blew into it, and the cold invasion made people tremble.

The journey to Cantland takes about three to five days, but the impact of weather roads will probably take longer than usual, and this is considered that there are no unexpected situations along the way.

How long will it take to endure such a day?

Winnie sighed bitterly. Since she followed Xia Lan in Ayen town to start her journey, her life has bid farewell to peace. She has not regretted her choice. If she stayed in Adria like the past, she might still be busy as she was for the source of experimental funds. Perhaps she would reappear at the reception desk of the Alchemy Association, waiting for the guests alone at night, wasting precious youth for her meager salary every day, and the dream of promotion is always far away.

Life is composed of countless choices, and each decision of yours will change the different fate of your life.

Now, although life is always in danger, the journey has allowed her to gain many unimaginable precious things.

Experience, knowledge, wealth.

The numerous alchemy knowledge gained from Viscount Frant and Count Heather's alchemy workshop alone made her think that her decision to follow Xia Lan was correct.

She was no longer the insignificant little pharmacist Adria, and the man who brought her all this has become the most important person in her life!

"Miss, we are about to arrive at the city gate."

At this time, Oden's voice suddenly came from outside the carriage.

Winnie woke up and her confused spirit, her expression became solemn: "Are you sure that the soldiers guarding the city gates will open the city gate and let us leave?"

"Please believe in our ability to do this. Please wait for the result with peace of mind."

After Oden finished speaking confidently, he pulled the reins of the horse and rushed forward to the front of the team.

The soldiers in charge of guarding the city gate soon discovered Winnie and her group. In such a cold weather in the middle of the night, they drove towards the city gate, which made people feel suspicious and vigilant no matter how they looked.

"Stop! Who are you!"

When the carriage and the personnel of the Dark Sword Mercenary Group approached, an officer who looked like a guard captain led a large number of elite soldiers to meet him with murderous intent.

"Juliers! Did you say hello when you see your good friend?"

After the carriage team stopped, Oden crossed the crowd and laughed loudly towards the opposite side.

"You are... Oden? Captain Oden?!"

After seeing the familiar face and voice of the visitor in front of him, the officer suddenly said in surprise.

"Haha! What? Juliers, didn't expect it would be me?"

Oden turned over and dismounted, walked directly to the other party and gave a hug.

"Captain Oden! I didn't expect it to be you! Although I had heard of your name in Ebranro, I thought it was a guy with the same name as you, but I didn't expect that that person was really you!" Juliers, who was hugged, seemed quite excited. He hugged the other party's hand and kept pounding Oden's strong back!

After letting go of the hug, Oden shook his head and said to himself: "I am different from Juliers. You have become the guard guard of Ebranro. Now I am a mercenary. You won't look down on my identity, right?"

"Nothing happened? In my eyes, Captain Oden, you will always be the person I respect the most in my heart. If you hadn't led us to break through the Knights' Order members, maybe all the brothers of the Knights' Order died in that war!" Juliers said with a red face.

"Date, Kolinas, Lusen... Come and meet your former little Juliers."

Oden patted Juliers on the shoulder, then turned around and began to point out one by one to the side of the carriage.

The people who were called out by Oden walked out of the team lazily, and Juliers looked even more incredible when they saw their faces.

"You...you are all here!"

"What? Little Juliers, am I surprised to see my brother?"

"Yes, little Juliers. Do you want to play wrestling games with your brother again?"

"Yeah, Juliers, I didn't expect you to be doing pretty well now..."

Oden's mercenary team members laughed and laughed at Juliers, letting Juliers hug them one by one to reminisce about the past. The soldiers led by Juliers looked at each other. Unexpectedly, the person in front of him was actually his friend of his chief, and he still seemed to have not seen him for many years.

"Okay, Juliers! Now is not the time to reminisce. Today I want to ask you something."

After a while, Oden interrupted Juliers' excited conversation with the others.

"Captain Oden! I don't know if you have anything to ask me? Don't worry. Your business is mine, and I will definitely help you!"

Juliers said goodbye to his former companion for the time being and came to Oden and said.

"Don't call me the commander, after all, it's not the past now." Oden sighed: "I need to ask you only one thing. Please let us out of the city gate and leave Ebranro."

Juliers looked stern when he heard Oden's words and said, "Captain Oden! What happened to you?"

"Nothing big. I just received a commission and needed to rush to leave Ebranro tonight." Oden said.

"Is that true? Can I check the identity of the client?" Juliers said cautiously.

"Haha, I didn't expect that you will still be so rigid after these years!" Oden smiled and said, "Please, if the identity of the carriage employer is not a problem, do you really have the right to open the city gate and let us out of the city?"

"Of course, even if you are punished by military orders!" Juliers smiled and said, "However, Captain Oden, I hope you will not have such a request next time."

"I see."

Oden gradually restrained his hearty smile.

It is already a stranger if you haven't seen each other for three years. Perhaps your comrades who have fought side by side are your most cherished companions. However, different environments will affect the changes of everyone. When you meet again, things change and people change, and the friendship that you have cherished for many years has long disappeared.

Juliers took care of their former companions, but Oden's request cut a crack between them. They might still be friends when they met again, but the friendship between life and death could never return to the past.

Disobey military orders and release them from the city privately.

Friendship began to change from this moment.
