Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 372 The Mermaid's Song
Kemish's joining Gaoya Castle did not cause much waves. The only difference was that the group of black slaves who had shed countless hard work and sweat in the iron mine were recruited again and formally formed into the Mamluk Regiment of Gaoya Castle, with Kemish as the commander.

Although they were curious about how a slave could suddenly become the leader, to the people of Gaoya Castle, their lord was the reincarnation of the God of War and the only sun in the wilderness, so naturally, whatever he said was the truth.

At that time, Kemish was stunned by the lord's appointment. After all, he had just surrendered, but the other party immediately trusted him and let him take control of his soldiers, which was in stark contrast to the Persian Gulf Empire that sentenced him to death.

When asked why the Lord of Highcliff Castle trusted him, a captive who had just surrendered, so much, the other party just patted him on the shoulder, laughed three times and said, "I believe in the oath made by a qualified husband and father."

It would be a lie to say that he was not moved. Kemish just looked at the other person's back as he left, and felt from the bottom of his heart that it was not a bad idea for a dead man like him to join Highcliff Castle.

In fact, there is no question of whether to believe it or not. It is purely because the system endorses Levi, and even if the other party has soldiers again, they will not pose any threat to Gaoya Castle.

But it did not prevent the lord from using this matter to earn loyalty, demonstrating his kingly character of trusting people and not doubting them. Moreover, this trick worked every time, and he had no idea how many people he had used it on.

……

Gaoyabao was peaceful and tranquil after that, and nothing happened. They spent some time in Gaoyabao living a dissolute life, and it was time to set out and prepare for the Three Kingdoms Conference.

This meeting with Taylor and the Holy Sith Kingdom was just to discuss the distribution of benefits and the proportion of effort, so Levi didn't bring too many people.

He only brought his aide Leighton, as well as Little Bug, Tiffany, Mir, Zat and Sam, plus a few rabbit maids and griffin knight guards, a total of forty people in the team.

After two days of flying, they first landed in Gonda to rest, then joined the convoy of the diplomatic corps, passed through the western border by boat across Lake Bayer, and finally crossed the border of Fillor to reach the territory of the Holy Sith, and finally arrived in Florence.

It is said that this city is the embodiment of the pinnacle of alchemy in the entire medieval continent, and it is as dreamy as emerald.

Leiden calculated that if nothing unexpected happened, it would take at least two months to reach Florence.

Of course, the reason why it takes so long is that the entire delegation consists of at least several hundred people, which will inevitably affect the speed of travel.

……

In Derby, each province has different festivals. For example, the most important festival in the North is undoubtedly the Winter Solstice every year, but in Gundar, the most important festival of the year is definitely the Festival of Resurrection.

This represents the retreat of the goddess of ice and snow, and the return of the goddess of life to control the earth. This is a season when all things revive, symbolizing the passion and vitality of life.

It is also a festival for girls and boys to express their feelings to each other. On this day, they will give their sweethearts hand-made sachets and white bread, which represent their feelings.

It is said that the once extraordinarily handsome Flower Knight collected several bags of sachets and white bread just by strolling around the street on that day.

The delegation set out today with the intention of allowing their Lord Lion Hunter Duke to experience the enthusiasm of the people of Gunda, but what they never expected was that this enthusiasm almost overwhelmed them.

The Champs-Elysées, which was wide enough for four carriages to run side by side, was packed with young girls and boys. They cheered and shouted excitedly, like a group of ghosts seeing delicious fresh meat.

The halberd guards who were responsible for maintaining order were miserable. Not to mention that there were so many important people watching them, these girls and boys were the future of Gunda City, and they certainly couldn't use pepper spray and sticks like they did to the refugees in the civilian areas.

And all these sufferings originated from the tall Tibetan young man who was standing on the bicycle frame and waving his hands. His face was three times more handsome than an elf, but not feminine. His body was like a mountain and a ridge, as if the Creator had bestowed 80% of the masculinity of all men in the world on him.

With his handsome appearance, dragon knight and various famous titles, the Lord of Highcliff Castle has now become an object of adoration among young people. It is said that there are even noble ladies who hang his nude portrait on the head of their beds, and every night they will think of him and relieve the loneliness of the long night.

Therefore, even if he is married, it does not affect their enthusiasm for such a perfect hero.

"Boss, our three carriages are filled with sachets and bread." Zat came up from behind, his face showing three parts of joy and three parts of worry.

What makes it happy is that it gets so much food for free. For this foodie, it is as happy as an old farmer in the rice field looking at the heavy ears of wheat.

What's worrying is that so much bread means it may have to eat bread every day for the next few months, which makes it, as it loves meat, extremely uncomfortable.

"Then put it in the fourth carriage. These are gifts from other people. If you dare to throw them away secretly, I'll beat you to death!" Levi kept a handsome smile on his face that he thought was impeccable.

This gave Zat a shock. He had indeed had this thought for a moment just now, and suddenly felt that his boss was like those mysterious shamans, as if he could see through people's hearts.

Tiffany's mouth in the carriage was almost raised to the sky.

Especially when she saw those girls blowing kisses to her crazily, she felt both sad and happy. The fact that her husband was so popular proved that she was right in her judgment, but she didn't want to give Levi away.

Just as she was feeling a mixture of emotions, a figure bent down, pulled her out of the carriage, and held her in his arms, with her golden hair fluttering freely.

Two dreamlike figures stood on the towering platform of the carriage, visible enough to everyone on the Champs-Elysées. Under the bright sunlight, their figures were reflected brilliantly and dazzlingly, as if the prince and princess in a fairy tale had come into reality.

The crowd was quiet at first, and then suddenly burst into even more intense excitement.

Tiffany watched everything with a blushing face. When she was in her own country, she was often cheered and admired by the people of the sea tribe, but she had never experienced this kind of thing before.

This situation continued until a burly man with a full beard threw a sachet and bread to the lord. The lord's face turned green and he got into the carriage. His disappearance disappointed the people of Gunda, and at the same time they were very angry at the person who caused all this.

When the halberd guards were ready to teach this damn guy a lesson afterwards, when they found him, all that was left was a pile of flesh and blood that had been trampled into mud.

……

The envoys set out from Gonda, passing through the western border and heading towards the Holy Sith Kingdom in the west. During the journey, they passed by some castles in the western border and were immediately welcomed in and entertained by the local nobles.

As a result, Tiffany was worried and pinching her face during this period, thinking that she must have gained weight.

"I didn't realize the nobles in the Western Territory were so enthusiastic." Levi picked his teeth with a smile, obviously he had just left a banquet.

"Enthusiasm at all, they're all here for your reputation." Mandela curled his lips in disdain, but he couldn't stop the envy in his eyes.

Damn, he can get free food and drinks just by relying on his title, why doesn’t he have the same treatment as this kid?

This Red Swordsman General was appointed by His Majesty Haland to lead the escort of the entire diplomatic corps, so he also followed along.

"At least thanks to Lord Levi, our journey was not too difficult." A kind voice came, "But after crossing Lake Bayel and entering the territory of the Holy Sith Kingdom, I'm afraid we won't be treated so well."

Levi turned his head and saw that it was the second envoy of this diplomatic mission, Prince Derby, the uncle of His Majesty Harland - Rolf.

There are not many princes of Debe, only five. Ferro is the last among these five princes, but Luo Fu in front of him is undoubtedly the first.

The life of this prince can be said to be extremely legendary. When His Majesty Harland was an illegitimate child who was wandering outside and unknown to the world, this prince was just a butcher.

By chance, he came into contact with magic. Although he was nearly thirty years old, his magical skills improved by leaps and bounds. He eventually surpassed other court wizards of the same age and was actively recruited by the previous king of Derby.

Afterwards, the previous king died suddenly, but there was no prince who could shine. The illegitimate son Haland defeated all his illegitimate brothers and sisters and sat firmly on the throne.

When Harland ascended the throne, he was also canonized as a prince, and served as the court's red-robed wizard, managing a spellcasting group, completely solidifying his title as the number one prince.

Even Haaland had to take his opinions seriously.

To be fair, this Prince Rolf did not have the slightest aristocratic temperament. A long period of comfortable life made him a little fat. He was covered in loose aristocratic clothes, with a kind smile on his fair round face. Even in his old age, with his hair already gray, his eyes were still clear and bright, as if he could see through people's hearts.

"If there's none, then there's none. I'm just worried that I won't be able to finish those truckloads of bread." Levi waved his hand, not caring at all.

He is not one of those delicate aristocratic princes. As a serious military aristocrat, his life at war is countless times more difficult than this.

A few people were chatting, and just as the convoy suddenly stepped onto a flat road from an upward road, a vast green lake suddenly came into view.

In the early morning, Lake Belye looks like a sapphire inlaid between the mountains. The water is clear and transparent, and the pebbles and swaying water plants on the bottom of the lake are clearly visible. When the first ray of sunlight falls, the lake surface is covered with fine golden ripples, which interweave with the reflection of the snow-capped peaks in the distance, forming a distinct blue and white gradient, making people feel like they are in a fairyland.

Beautiful things always make people feel nostalgic.

The lord couldn't help but want to recite a poem when looking at this beautiful scenery, but he held it in for a long time and didn't fart.

Only Tiffany beside him held her chest, and beautiful songs came out of her mouth, like the singing of a lark, sometimes fresh and sweet, sometimes high and shocking.

The captivating voice, sometimes quiet, sometimes gentle, sometimes charming, seemed to condense all the beauty of the world into the song, tightly grasping everyone's heart, unable to bear to break this beautiful song.

This song was not sung, but just whispered, but it was enough to defeat the songs sung by the wandering bards of Derby.

The white swans flying across the sky couldn't help but land to listen, and the horses and goats on the distant meadow were also attracted, gathering into a huge herd and stopping outside the safety boundary.

Tiffany stopped singing softly, and when she opened her eyes, this was the scene she saw.

clap clap clap!
The lord took the lead in thunderous applause and gave a thumbs-up without hesitation.

"It is said that the singing of mermaids is loud enough to attract the attention of the gods. I never thought that I would be lucky enough to hear it once." Prince Luofu was also very moved, his eyes full of admiration: "Compared with Miss Tiffany, the voices of those bards I hired are as unpleasant as ducks. Every one of them deserves to be hanged!"

"Yes, I have no regrets in this life." Mandela also shook his head and said, and at the same time he was worried about Florina. This mermaid princess was no worse than her in appearance and could sing. I really didn't know what Florina could rely on to attract Levi, this boy.

"Thank you~" After Tiffany expressed her gratitude, she shyly crawled into Levi's broad arms like a little animal.

This aroused the envy of others present.

Levi puffed out his chest proudly. Although he didn't sing the song, Tiffany was his wife!

Tiffany's singing was just a small episode. If you want to go to the Holy Sith Kingdom, you have to cross Lake Belye. Fortunately, the owner of the Western Territory, the Loganres family, had been notified long ago and prepared a number of large white gemstone ships on the lake.

These ships are usually used to transport goods, so their cabins are flat and spacious, and they can carry the entire delegation and their carriages to the other side at one time.

When crossing Lake Belye, all you can see are rolling hills and mountains, which means that the Debe delegation has entered the White Mountain Hills on the border of the Holy Sith Kingdom.

The area of ​​this hill is almost as large as the Western Territory. Although it is not a plain, it has a lot of cultivated area. Both sides of the main road are fields cultivated on the hills. The raised strips of soil prove that crops have been planted in them, and they are most likely potatoes.

The Holy Sith Kingdom had apparently also received news of the arrival of the Debe delegation, and had sent an envoy to the border in advance to meet them, in order to prevent this large group from being intercepted on the road by fierce Sith women and men pretending to be bandits before they even reached Florence.

Although there is a high probability that they will be slaughtered by that dragon knight of Debe alone, it is still best to avoid it if possible, because it may affect the image of the Sith Kingdom among the civilians in Debe.
