Chapter 116 Arrival at Fort Faro (3K)

The carriage arrived at the city gate. Before arriving at Fort Farlow, Lear erased the Stuart family lion emblem on the carriage to avoid attracting attention.

The reason why I separated from Albert was to have time to settle Ophénina.

"Are we there yet?" Millia looked out the window curiously through the curtains.

It was also her first time to come to the Faro Fortress, and she was a little shocked when she saw the scene before her.

"We're here, but we'll have to wait a while before we can take you to see Her Majesty the Queen." Lear nodded, then glanced at Ophelia.

In case Ophinina made a scene, he handed Milia a handkerchief.

"This is the drug I prepared. Let's knock Ophelia unconscious temporarily." Lear said lightly.

Ophelia, who was originally indifferent, sat up straight when she heard Li Er's words, "What are you going to do?"

Ophinina was very angry. Is there any human rights left? He knocked her out at any time!

Milia was also a little hesitant.

"Let's do it. Ophinina's affair cannot be discovered. We must be cautious until we are completely settled in Fort Faro." Lear's attitude was firm.

Although the possibility of others recognizing Ophelia is not high, it is better to be prepared.

At Lear's urging, Miriam finally took action and put her handkerchief over Ophinina's mouth and nose.

Ophinina looked unwilling, but she had no choice but to fall asleep soon.

Li Er waved his hand and removed the life-binding shackles from Ophelia, then took out a woman's lace hat from his storage ring and said, "Cover Ophelia. We will find a hotel to put her up there later."

Milia did as she was told and placed the lace hat on Ophinina's head, making it look as if she was asleep.

At this time, the carriage also drove to the guards at the city gate.

The guard walked forward and was slightly startled when he saw Li Er's appearance, but he immediately returned to normal. He said, "The fee to enter the city is 10 copper coins."

Lear took out ten copper coins from his pocket and handed them directly to the guard.

The guard didn't say much and then waved and let him go.

Passing through the deep city gate passage, bustling noises can be heard from all around. There is an endless stream of pedestrians and carriages coming and going, a dazzling array of strange stalls, and a little book boy shouting and selling newspapers.

Most of the pedestrians around were wearing armor and had weapons on their waists or backs.

Most of these are adventurers from the Fortress Adventurer's Association.

As soon as Lear entered the fortress, he could feel the gazes cast at him from all directions.

His appearance is so outstanding, and with his golden hair, he looks particularly noble and elegant.

Lear sighed slightly. Even though he had erased the Stuart family crest on the carriage, that damn charm could not be erased.

"Look at that man, he looks even more handsome than Knight Yasen!"

"Good Lord, who is that gentleman?"

"He's really handsome. Does any of you know him?"

…

There was a burst of chattering all around, and Millia in the carriage couldn't help pouting when she saw these women staring at Lear.

What a bunch of women who don't know how to be reserved. How can they stare at a man like this? It's so rude!

Lear turned a blind eye to these discussions. He was looking for a more upscale hotel to accommodate Ophinina, but he could not remember the layout of the Faro Fortress very clearly.

Just when he was feeling distressed, a hot lady walked up to him. The woman was wearing armor, and although it was winter, large areas of her skin were still exposed.

This is a professional of war law, and he seems to be quite strong.

"Handsome man, you seem to need help?" The woman stared at Lear intently and licked her rosy lips, as if she was looking at some delicious food.

"My name is Hana, I'm a gold-level mercenary, and I'm quite famous in the Faro Fortress. You seem to be new here, do you need me as a guide?"

Lear smiled and looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, "My name is Lear, beautiful lady."

"As you can see, we have indeed just arrived at Fort Faro, and now we are planning to find a better hotel to stay in. Do you have any good recommendations?"

"I can pay you if you can take me there."

Listening to Li Er's words, the eyes of the woman named Hana lit up slightly. It turned out that a man who looked like a gentleman was also very pleasant to talk to.

Although many people had flattered her and praised her beauty before, the feeling coming from Lear's mouth was completely different from that coming from other people's mouths.

Hana's eyes became a little hot, and she smiled like a flower, "Handsome Li Er, I'm just looking for a hotel. What kind of hotel do you want to find?"

"I hope it can be a hotel with better security and more privacy. Money is not a problem." Li Er also smiled.

"Is that so?" Hana blinked. From Lear's words, she learned another piece of information: this man was not short of money.

He is both handsome and rich. She hasn't tasted such a high-quality man for a long time.

Just as she was thinking about how to trick Lear, Millia in the carriage couldn't help it.

"We don't need your guide!" The girl opened the curtain and looked at Hana angrily.

She really couldn't stand it anymore. The woman in front of her was openly seducing her man! Although the other party hadn't shown it too directly, how could Milia, who was also a woman, not understand that kind of burning look? The sudden appearance of the girl made Hana stunned for a moment. She looked at Milia with a flash of surprise in her eyes. The soft silver hair and the blue pupils made her feel ashamed.

For the first time, she felt a little insecure about her appearance.

"Millia." Lear also turned his head and saw Millia's determined eyes.

He shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and then looked at Hana beside him, "I'm sorry, ma'am, my fiancée is a little shy, so can you show me the way? We can just go there by ourselves."

Fiancée? Hana came to her senses and looked at Lear and Miria, a handsome man and a beautiful woman. She did seem a little redundant.

She was a little disappointed. Since the other party was married, she didn't want to destroy the relationship between the couple.

"Okay then, the hotel you're looking for is..." Hana gestured to Li'er for a while, and the route was quite complicated.

Lear listened carefully and finally nodded.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Did you really remember it? Do you need me to draw a map?" Hana asked.

"No, ma'am, I've already written it down, thank you for your help." Lear smiled.

Hana was a little surprised that she had memorized it in such a short time. The place was not far away.

Li Er gestured toward Hana without explaining.

"Then we'll meet again if we're lucky." Lear said goodbye, pulled the reins and drove away in the carriage.

Hana watched the carriage leave, feeling a little regretful as she stood there. She shook her head and left as well.

After the two of them walked away, the guard in front of the city gate came out and looked at the direction where Lear left with some suspicion. Then he handed over the task of guarding the city gate to other guards and hurried away.

…

In an ordinary room, a fairly handsome young man was pacing back and forth in the room, his expression somewhat worried.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. When the young man heard the sound, his expression changed and he became expectant.

He opened the door and saw the person coming.

He was a little disappointed that it wasn't the person he was waiting for, and then asked, "What's the matter that brought you here in such a hurry?"

"Sir, I saw the person in the portrait you gave me at the city gate." The guard said quickly.

"What did you say?" The young man was startled, his expression became gloomy, and then he seemed to think of something, "Then have you seen Mr. Roberto?"

"Mr. Roberto? No, has Mr. Robert gone out?" The guard was a little confused.

The young man's expression became even more gloomy. He was silent for a long time before asking, "Did you see where the person in the portrait went?"

The guard was stunned for a moment, then remembered the conversation in front of the city gate just now.

"I think he went to the Kent Hotel."

"Kent Hotel?" The young man's originally gloomy expression eased slightly when he heard this.

His eyes flickered, and he seemed to be thinking a lot at that moment, and finally his eyes became gloomy.

"Okay, I get it. You can go down now. Don't let anyone know what I asked you to do." He waved his hand, signaling the guard to leave.

The guard nodded, turned around and was about to leave, but just as he turned around, the young man behind him drew the sword from his waist and stabbed the guard in the chest.

The guard's body froze for a moment, and he subconsciously touched the sword that pierced his chest.

"You..." He turned his head with an incredible expression on his face.

"Don't blame me for being cruel. You know things you shouldn't know. I will take good care of your wife." The young man said grimly.

The guard's expression gradually became ferocious. He stretched out his hand to grab the young man in front of him, but the light in his eyes soon disappeared.

The young man curled his lips in disdain, then drew out his sword and let the corpse fall to the ground.

He took out a sack from the side, put the body on the ground into it, and then threw it aside skillfully.

After doing all this, he looked at the wall beside him. On the wall hung a portrait of a man with blond hair and handsome appearance.

"Lear, you didn't go to Stuart's mansion. Are you giving me a chance?" he muttered to himself.

"As a wizard who has been away from Stuart for more than ten years, what qualifications do you have to come back? And you shamelessly want to be Stuart's successor?"

"I will let you know that only a true war knight is qualified to be the heir of Stuart! And you should stay in the royal city honestly!"
