Seeing that Margaret looked in a good mood, she simply got off the horse, walked to Margaret, and asked in a low voice with a little teasing:

"Why, the lady's sweetheart is coming soon?"

"Um."【%

Perhaps because she was used to seeing Meg and Julie show affection, Margaret just blushed a little, and admitted it openly.

"Yo, that's great."

Meg smiled, and instinctively wanted to whistle.

But when she put her fingers close to her lips, she realized that she was a knight now, so she stopped abruptly.

"Let me guess, is it a handsome knight?"

Margaret shook her head.

"Ah, is that a scholar full of economics?"

"no."

Margaret looked at Meg with some embarrassment, and once again denied her guess.

"Oh? Could it be a handsome and extraordinary court nobleman? To be honest, such a guy is usually unreliable..."

Seeing Margaret getting more and more shy, Meg became more courageous and began to joke.

"Don't guess. I have a feeling. I'll be there soon. You'll understand when you see it."

Margaret didn't mind Meg joking, she was always tolerant of her own people.

It's just that she really didn't want to tell Meg directly that she liked women as much as she did.

No, maybe it's not that I like women, but that the person I like happens to be a woman?

Margaret suddenly had such an idea.

Seeing that Margaret obviously didn't want to discuss this issue any more, Meg tactfully shut her mouth.

After another ten minutes, smoke and dust gradually appeared in the distance.

Although Margaret was refreshed, Meg's eyes became sharper beside her.

She really wanted to know what kind of person Margaret, a top-matched young lady, would like.

Even if it's just a lover relationship, she doesn't believe that Margaret's vision can be lowered.

However, Meg was somewhat disappointed when the distant convoy approached.

Anyway, the size of this team is far worse than that of Margaret.

Meg was able to ascertain at a glance that there were no more than ten attendants, and only two carriages.

Taking a closer look at the emblem on the carriage, Meg slammed her mouth and muttered in her heart:

'Isn't this still the saint's carriage? '

'Could it be that Missy likes another follower of the saint?That's a bit difficult...'

Even Meg knew that these saintesses were actually competing with each other.

It would be very bad if Margaret's lover was under another saint.

It will be easily manipulated by others!

Just when Meg secretly decided to think carefully about how to persuade her master to end this hopeless relationship, Margaret showed a bright smile.

"Sister Serena, I'm here!"

Only then did Meg notice that a red head poked out from the carriage window, looking at it with a smile.

'Serina... is Serena the Holy Maiden? '

Meg's heart skipped a beat.

This is even worse than the previous guess!

As a lesbian, it's not like she can't understand the love between saints, but looking at Margaret like this, she is obviously the passive side.

In this case, in the battle for the Chief Saintess, your side will be at a complete disadvantage!

Thinking of this, she immediately looked at Serena with unkind eyes.

Margaret didn't pay attention to her servant's thoughts at all.

At this moment, her mind is full of the image of Serena.

This is the person she misses day and night!

Chapter 22

After more than a month of trekking, the assembled team finally arrived at their destination—Sinilakhan, which is the emerging city in the barbarian language of the Northland.

As for Serena's first impression of this city...

"Why is it so dilapidated here?"

In the carriage, Serena gave such a straightforward and impersonal evaluation.

Meredith next to him also nodded in agreement.

"It is indeed a bit dilapidated. Even if the people of the Northland experienced a disastrous defeat 20 years ago and were even forced to give up their original holy city, it shouldn't be like this."

In fact, they have already checked the relevant information and know that the city in front of them was re-expanded after the last war.

Because of this, when they saw the scene of few people around them, they were particularly surprised.

Anyway, the barbarians have not experienced a large-scale war for more than ten years. If they take a good rest, they should recover after such a long time?

Why is it still in such a dilapidated state?

Fortunately, when they entered the inner city area, the surrounding area finally looked like a normal city.

Even if the passers-by seem to be frowning, and the hawkers are weak, but after all, they have the appearance of human beings living normally.

Out of some kind of tacit understanding, after everyone settled down in the building, Serena and Margaret sent their subordinates to investigate the actual situation in the city.

And when the two had a brief lunch and started playing chess as usual, Meredith and Meg also returned here with their discoveries almost at the same time.

"We may have really come at the wrong time."

Meredith came up with a conclusion.

"The current barbarian king, Zaghe Khan, whom they call the Great Khan, was so badly wounded in the last war that he never fully recovered."

"Now, his condition is getting worse every day, but he has yet to choose an heir."

"So, around Khan's position, there has been an open and secret struggle in recent months."

From what Meredith learned briefly, there are mainly three heirs of the old king.

His younger brother, his adopted son, and his uncle.

Perhaps because of his injuries in the war, this barbarian warrior who was ordered to take over the throne when he was in danger has never been able to have a son who inherited his blood.

The leaders of the various tribes of the barbarians had to place bets on the selection of other candidates who had the right to inherit according to their own needs.

After several years of integration, the barbarian king's younger brother Sudrahe, relying on the support of the tribe with many connections, occupied the position of the left king who was only one step away from the Great Khan;

The adopted son of the barbarian king, Ragshuni, was supported by many young people by virtue of his bravery, and became the king of the right;

As for Zahe Khan's uncle Uqilatu, because of his status as the high priest, he successfully won the support of those who insisted on tradition, and then ignored the throne.

In addition, these three people also have their own shortcomings and hidden worries.

Su Dela has the best reputation and has the most subordinates, but he has a similar problem with his brother - no son;

He only has one daughter. Although this girl called "Pearl of the Wilderness" has outstanding abilities in all aspects, her gender is Sudrahe's biggest weakness.

No one is sure who this pearl will end up in—and when the throne itself may be transferred, Su Delahe naturally can't make his subordinates feel at ease.

Ragshuni is too aggressive.

Not to mention whether he can continue to win all kinds of duels as before, just the humiliation and humiliation he clamored for blood 20 years ago has already made many old people frown;

The current northern barbarians have long since lost the spirit of the past.

If it is said that a hundred years ago, the barbarians could still compete with other races by relying on their sturdy characters and magical tattoo spells, then now that war has increasingly become a skill that requires all-round competition of national power, the wise men of the barbarians are all You can see that your own nation will soon become a thing of the past.

No matter whether it is the mixed army of formed heavy equipment fighters and priests of St. Gillian's Church on Marconia's side, or the magic battle group composed of magicians and professional follower fighters on the side of the Arcane Alliance, they are not the existence that the barbarians can contend with. up.

As for half-orcs and other alien races, they are not even as good as barbarians, so there is no need to discuss them at all.

Therefore, apart from those children who don't know the heights of the sky and the earth, there are actually very few people who are willing to serve Lagashuni.

That is to say, seeing that he is young and appreciated by the Khan, only a few tribes are willing to stand by his side and cheer for him.

As for Uqiratu, his problem can be summed up in one word, that is, he is too old.

The average life expectancy of the barbarians is only over 30 years old, and Uqiratu is almost [-] now.

Most of the barbarians don't think that if this man becomes the Great Khan, he can live another ten or eight years.

Then Meg added some more information.

It is said that regarding the visit of Marconia, Lagshuni once said that the Marconians had better not come, and he would kill these ignorant southern barbarians to sacrifice to heaven;

On the other hand, Su Delahe seemed to have some doubts about the sincerity of the Marconians;

Uqiratu didn't express any opinions on this matter, but his priests had gathered recently, as if they were studying some secret matter.

"...So, the status quo is like this. Many traders and civilians who gathered here were worried that the flames of war would ignite in the future, so they left this place one after another."

"Is that so..."

Serena nodded, then smiled lightly.

"Leave this kind of thing to Sir Darnell to scratch his head."

"On our side, we only need to light up that thing during the signing ceremony. Well, St. Gillian will bless us to complete this task smoothly, so everyone should eat, play, and not What doubts."

After the two left, Margaret asked worriedly:

"In this case, do we need to prepare for battle?"

Serena looked serious and shook her head.

"As long as Zaghe Khan is alive, we don't have to worry about being attacked."

"Even if Lagshuni is aggressive, he should know that now is not a good time for him to offend the Marconians."

"And the other two, for the time being, don't see any direct malice towards us."

"As long as we restrain the people under our command not to disperse and go out, and keep vigilance and restraint in activities in the city, there shouldn't be any major problems in signing the contract this time."

Seeing what Serena said, Margaret finally felt relieved, and continued to study the chess game in front of her.

Serena, on the other hand, secretly recalled the memories of her previous life in her heart.

'The last time, the northern barbarians went south to attack Marconia after five full years.And the reason for that is also because Lagshuni assassinated Sudrahe, and became a great sweat after forming an alliance with Uqiratu-and by the way, I raised my troops. '

'This time, it shouldn't change the history...'

Chapter 23 Uninvited guests

"This juice is really delicious, sweet and sour, very refreshing."

Serena tasted the rare exotic food, her eyes narrowed happily.

Since the mission's application for an audience was shelved due to Zahe Khan's serious illness, Serena and the others simply started to play in this foreign country.

Although the scope of activities was narrowed due to previous considerations, Serena and Margaret found many surprises in the shops and restaurants in the city.

No, Serena followed the faint scent of wild fruits and found an inconspicuous small shop, and successfully unlocked a surprise delicacy called salad juice.

The juice that had just been scooped out of the big wooden barrel was cloudy at first glance, which would make people hesitate, but relying on divine skills, Serena was the first to drink the liquid in the glass.

"Is it really delicious?"

Margaret asked in a low voice, seeing that there was no trickery in Serena's eyes, she lifted the veil and took a sip.

Soon, she also showed a happy smile - these days they didn't find anything delicious except all kinds of meat. This sweet and sour drink just relieved the fishy smell that had lingered in the mouth for a long time.
