It takes a total of five to seven days to travel from Frost Fortress to Haoyue City.

Until now, Robin finally understood that what Jiexi said before was not false.

The King's personal guards were able to rush from Haoyue City to Feiyun Coast to pick them up within three days, and they were really working day and night.

The entire northern border of Yitnell was extremely desolate. It came out of the Frost Fortress and went south, with almost no wealthy towns.

The vegetation on the road is sparse.

There are not many large forests, only some short shrubs, and the grass quilts appear yellow and sparse.

Therefore, Robin and the others rarely see herds of cattle and sheep or large herds of horses.

Some are sporadic flocks of goats.

They jumped on the hillside and ate upwards and ate the barren wild grass roots.

The little girls who occasionally walked by the whip waving the herds and whipped them without much surprise at their arrival.

In other words, it is far more fascinating than caring about the past of those big guys.

The crows circling in the sky, and some wilderness predators everywhere—

Even if Robin can't call his name.

But the fear revealed from the eyes of everyone can probably imagine the horror of those things.

Among them, they also witnessed the process of a half-horned spirit wolf preying on the winter antelope.

Even the flash white crawling in Rowling's arms was frightened and shrank in.

The desolate blue half-horned beast seemed to notice the elves and their existence.

However, it seemed to clearly feel the fear from the strong humans and never approached.

Several half-horned spirit wolves standing isolated on the top of the mountain watched them go away.

Robin looked at these skinny beasts and the strange gazes in their eyes, and felt that his chest was filled with a complex emotion.

Can't say what that is.

If you really want to say something, maybe it is all the people in the world, and they are all old things like equality.

Foragers are everywhere.

The instinct of survival drives all living things to take corresponding actions before they change.

Everything seems to be showing-

Winter is coming.

And, poverty accompanies the people here.

Even the small village they settled on the way seemed poor.

There are only a few families in many villages.

There is a shortage of supplies, food and fuel, as well as fur for wintering, all appear extremely scarce.

There were not many merchants passing by and rested. On the way, Robin only encountered a caravan from Pyroxon, but they hurried to the wealthy Saint Beta Corps.

So, even though Robin learned from Jexi that Rosalind's territory was the widest of all the great dukes, he did not think she was very lucky.

The Thunder Knight, one of the seven great dukes of the kingdom, is the only civilian great duke in hundreds of years.

The territory owned by Ice Peaks is located in the north, the Frost Fortress in the north, the Shuangta City in the east, the Rising Fortress in the west, and the Xiyan Territory in the south. The territory contains four earls and eleven viscounts, but it is the most sparsely populated, the poorest land, and the most military attacks and disasters.

From this point of view, even if Rosalinde becomes the new Grand Duke, his status has not changed much.

Perhaps, it is really as Jima said before.

Rosalind, the Thunder Knight, is just the gatekeeper of the northern border of the Kingdom.

...

Speaking of the arrogant Jima, Robin later learned that this Jima, the young pioneer officer of the King's personal guard, actually had a very noble identity—

The first child of Duke Xiyan [Salom Eddington].

That is, heir to the Eddington family in the future.

If nothing unexpected happens, Jima will become the Grand Duke of Xiyan.

Judging from his understanding of the king's personal guard, Xiyan led the Grand Duke to let Jima be the king's personal guard in order to pave the way for her.

During this period, Robin had a certain understanding of the King's Personal Guard-

First of all, this is the guard who belongs to the king and his duty is to protect the safety of His Majesty the king.

However, in fact, the King's personal guards do not need to face danger.

If there are indeed enemies, they will pass through numerous guards before they reach the palace, such as the Grand Duke Rosa Lind of the Frost Fortress.

Even assassins, from Haoyue City to King's Castle, they must first go through the gatekeeper of Haoyue City, the guards of King's Castle, and then the guards, and finally face the King's personal guards.

Therefore, this profession sounds dangerous, but it is easy and safe.

However, being able to approach the king and serve her is the unique advantage of the king's personal guard.

No matter what, people will have selfishness. When promoting people with similar abilities, they will always give priority to the one they are close to.

It can be seen from the vanguard who sent Jima to serve as the escort officer that the king's personal guard was so respected and loved by His Majesty today.

When thinking from Jima's standpoint, Robin wondered whether Jima's loyalty to the king was mixed with some of the personal components of the Aidington family.

It is obvious that being a pioneer officer has brought many benefits to Xiyan.

The king's every move was under her nose, and the news was more informed. Aidington's loyalty was seen by the king, and he would inevitably be closer to each other in terms of emotion.

If the Eddington family and the royal family can be tied together, then the future Xiyan will surely gain supreme glory.

Of course, this is just Robin's own conjecture.

It is hard for him to make arbitrary judgments on the specific matter.

Robin habitually sorts out the information and information he gets, and deduces and imagines what he will face in the future, which will help him see the situation clearly and make the right response to it.

But Robin felt that the probability of his inference was very high.

Moreover, according to Jiexi, many of the king's personal guards were noble children with jazz titles.

Just like a noble school, the King's personal guard is a social circle with concentrated power.

This connection will also pave the way for Jima to rule Xiyan's leader in the future.

Of course, the King's personal guards are not all like this.

Jiexi told Robin that to become the king's personal guard, it is necessary to go through strict assessments.

After all, we have to shoulder the safety responsibilities of His Majesty the King.

Therefore, in addition to some capable nobles, there will be a considerable number of civilian knights who have been promoted.

Most of these people are masters in the state of limitations.

Therefore, Lord Jima, who was selected as the vanguard of the king's personal guard, must have outstanding abilities.

It was just that in the previous battle, Kay's strength was too crushing to show it.

But Robin dared not underestimate this.

And the relationship between him and Jima also comes from a very subtle situation-

During this period, Jima had almost no excessive language communication with him.

Jimake conscientiously led their roads, doing a good job of guarding and finding a good place to rest in advance, and taking care of all the itineraries on the road.

She kept her attitude towards Robin away.

...

What made Robin feel quite strange was that when they actually reached the Sunrokate, the relationship between the two Eddingtons did not look as good as he thought.

When Shalom Eddington showed up at the city wall with the guards to welcome their arrival.

Robin noticed the vanguard of the King's personal guard, and Jima Eddington frowned.

I don't seem to want to see my mother appear here.

But at the same time, he expressed helplessness about the occurrence of this incident.

If it weren't for the responsibility that he had to pass through Xiyan's leader, Jima wouldn't even stop, but headed straight to Haoyue City.

In fact, they didn't intend to stay.

Shalom, however, was completely the opposite. As the Grand Duke here and the master of Xiyan Corps, after hearing the news about the return of the Selected One, he had to leave the city to welcome him.

In addition, Robin could see that Shalom really cared about Jima.

So, in the sun.

Robin saw that the king's guards wearing red cloaks gathered with the yellow sand uniform guards from Xiyan.

Pioneer Jima Eddington and Grand Duke Shalom Eddington stood in the distance and had a low conversation.
