Chapter Eleven Homecoming

"Dada, dada", the rapid sound of horse hooves resounded throughout the night sky, echoing in the wilderness near the Capital of Knowledge. Five fast horses lined up and ran along the road. Under the white sky, each horse reflected a shiny light. Obviously, its body was soaked in sweat. The riders on the horse were covered in dust, and their faces were covered in sweat. The sweat drew mud stains on their faces, but the riders on the horse didn't care about these at all. Everyone was very focused on controlling the horses and tried to maintain the same speed and not fall behind.

The five people from the adventure group borrowed five high-quality war horses from the Mercenary Union yesterday morning and rushed back to the Capital of Knowledge. In order to maintain the strength of the horses, they only rested for ten hours in total. The rest of the time was rushing. In the early morning of late summer, the sky was already white, and the brightness brought by the bringing can clearly see the scenery around them. Riding on the horse and looking forward, the huge building complex of the capital of the capital has appeared in everyone's field of vision, and the shape of the building can be vaguely distinguished. The five riders each turned off the crystal energy lantern on the horseback lamp stand, slightly slowing down the horse speed, allowing the horse to keep running slowly and recovering its physical strength, gradually approaching the gate of the Capital of Knowledge.

Since the girls took the adventure, they have seen various cities and towns. Each city has its own advantages. However, for girls, no city can compare to the beauty of the capital of knowledge, because everyone's home is here. No matter how beautiful or strange the place is, it cannot compare to the temptation brought by the word home. As long as you get close to home, no matter how tired the body is, it will naturally be full of vitality. I just want to walk faster, get home earlier, enjoy the familiar feeling and smell at home, and wash away the fatigue of the journey.

At night, three of the four gates connecting the city inside and outside are closed. Only the south gate remains open for pedestrians or goods to pass urgently at night. However, in order to ensure the safety of the city, the night inspection is stricter and wide. Every night, there are always members of the sixteen-life bronze-level city guards standing guard to prevent possible crises. There is also a reason to choose this gate to keep it open at night. The southern city is exactly the area where the Adventurers Guild is located. Except for the adventurers in this city, most middle and high-level adventure groups whose hometowns are not in the Sanctuary choose to be located in the southern city. It can be said that the southern area represents the highest combat power of the city.

Even the headquarters of the City Guards is located here. Even if the city really encounters a crisis at night and the southern gate is broken through, the enemy will be hit by the most powerful force of the guild. In the past few hundred years since the Holy Capital was built, the enemy who is so unthinkable only appeared twice. They were both quite powerful thieves at that time. The first time they rushed into the city less than 300 meters, they were watched by a group of adventurers who were awakened from their sleep, and were eventually beaten to death by the angry adventurers. The second time was even more pitiful. As soon as they entered the gate, they encountered two legendary-level powerful men who were walking on the street because they couldn't sleep, and then they were almost silently destroyed. Without any surprise, they did not see the sun the next day again.

Even so, the guards at the city gate are still dedicated and dare not relax their spirits for a moment. They will closely inspect each armed team that enters the city. However, when the five people ride horses into the city, they have no stops at all and are not blocked. These guards are not stupid. As a few golden-level adventure groups, the Neri Adventure Group is one of the most famous adventure groups in the Capital of Knowledge, and can be regarded as the highest proportion of legendary adventurers. As for the image of these top adventure groups, every member of the City Guard must remember. Those legendary professionals who are qualified to be masters are always a bit arrogant or weird in character and do not like to be disturbed. Therefore, whenever they encounter this situation, automatic release is the best choice. In other words, if they really have malicious intentions, they can't stop them. It's better to save some effort.

Even if there is any urgent matter, you cannot ride a horse on the city roads. This is the most basic safety knowledge. Five people slowed down their horses and quietly walked through the Adventurer Paradise along the familiar streets. The Adventurer Paradise was silent in the Adventurer Paradise in the early morning, and there was almost no pedestrian on the street. Even some shops that target adventurers were used as the target were closed, and there was not even a carriage carrying goods passed by. If they were in Free City, mercenaries would have run in groups on the street in the morning. However, adventurers and mercenaries were different, so they could have teams in the Saint.

The adventure teams in the ground are at least middle and high-level teams, and there is no low-level weak among the members. Morning running is no longer of great significance to them. What they need more is mutual training and cooperation in combat skills. Therefore, even if they need morning exercises, they will do targeted exercises in a professional training ground like Catherine, without using running like mercenaries to improve their physical fitness. Therefore, adventurers rarely come out to activities in the early morning, and the shops that serve adventurers will naturally not be so stupid as to prepare to open early and waste a morning of time.

"Catherine." After the slowdown, five horses walked side by side on the spacious streets of Santo. Panis said: "Christo is older and doesn't like a lot of people, so you can go home first. I haven't been back for so long. Those two little undead and two sisters with too strong aura of thieves may not cause much trouble. You go back early to solve the problem. Freya and I went directly to find Christo. It won't take too long to go back and meet you soon."

"Okay." Catherine nodded and said, "But won't you work too hard? There was no rest all night. And wouldn't it be a bit rude to go to the master so early?"

"We're fine, as for the time issue..." Panis looked up at the sky: "The city is so big, it should be dawn when we get there. And the old man has less sleep, it's okay."

"Okay, let's go back first." Catherine thought for a while and agreed, "Let's go back and prepare breakfast and wait for you to come back."

"Don't." Panis and Freya stopped drinking at the same time: "We will bring breakfast back when we go back, so don't cook it yourself."

"You're too much." Catherine glared and said angrily: "Especially you, Freya, you traitor, when Panis didn't come, I cooked for you every day, but you betrayed me so quickly."

"Hahaha, haha, you misunderstood by sister." Freya looked up at the sky, not daring to look at Catherine's eyes: "Actually, I'm worried that you're too tired, so I'd better take a little longer, hahaha."

"You two are really angry." Catherine rolled her eyes and said, "Why did you suddenly have such a good relationship?"

"Hehe." Freya and Panis smiled at each other and waved, "Let's go first, sister, please go slowly."

Passing through the junction of the adventure zone and the commercial zone, there is another scene before us. Time has moved from the early morning to the early morning, and the other three city gates have gradually opened. There are busy people walking on the streets, and the freight carriages passing through the temple zone have gradually increased. The Capital of Knowledge actually has a very interesting phenomenon. Although theoretically, the four city gates can be used for pedestrians and trucks, people often spontaneously choose the West Gate as the freight gate. It is not surprising to think about it carefully. The southern adventure zone is full of adventurers, which is also the military center and political center of the city.

In the center, small and medium-sized merchants instinctively did not want to approach there; there were a large number of mages gathered in the eastern mage area. The mage's temper has always been the most unpredictable thing in the Yara continent, and its ranking is even higher than women's psychology. Small and medium-sized merchants who are not backgrounds are more willing to hide from them far away; as for the North City, if anyone who transports goods during the day and night disturbs their rest, they may be drowned by angry admirers with saliva. Only clergymen have the best temper, so naturally they choose the temple area in the west as the main channel for freight transportation.

"But recently I heard from my father that a new plan is being discussed." Freya explained to Panis: "We need to open another side door in the southeast and southwest directions of the commercial area so that outsiders can directly enter the commercial area."

"Someone proposed it a hundred years ago." Panis said, "But the city lord at that time asked the Federation of Commerce to be responsible for the funds for urban transformation, but the stingy guys of the Federation of Commerce were reluctant to let go and dragged it all the time. It seems that both sides can't help it now. Hehe, that's right. Both people and goods flow are getting bigger and bigger, so it will definitely be troublesome to go around like this."

"Well, my father quarreled with the president of the Business Federation some time ago." Freya covered her mouth with a gloating smile and said, "They have been quarreling for more than 20 years. When I was only a few years old, I often saw them quarreling in the study. I guess they had already had a relationship."

"Hey, that's your father." Panis said with a squinted eye: "Is it really appropriate to laugh at him like this?"

"What's the matter?" Freya spread her hands without caring at all, "Anyway, I'm a bad girl with fake faces. Isn't this what I should do? Hehe."

"You guy." Panis shook his head helplessly: "Stop making trouble, the road is not close yet. Go and find Christo quickly. I guess he has been waiting in a hurry these days."

"Go to the teacher's house?" Freya asked, "Where is Cliff Street?"
