The caravan was stopped by several knights before they got close to the market outside Songkani. After all, their carriages were so conspicuous that they would definitely not be allowed to approach casually.

“Who are you?

The caravan of the Black Marigolds?"

The leading knight looked at the logo on the caravan carriage and asked with some confusion.

"Yes, my Lord Knight."

Killian got off the carriage panting, and hurried to the front of the caravan with Allison following him, "I remember you left yesterday, didn't you?

Why are you back again? "

The leading knight still had an impression of this caravan. After all, there were not many caravans running around in this world nowadays. Only yesterday did the Black Flower Caravan leave Songkani, so he naturally still had an impression of it.

"Alas..." Killian sighed with a sad face, "We were attacked by monsters not long after we left. We barely managed to repel the monsters but almost all our men were killed. We had no choice but to rush back overnight."

After hearing his words, the leading knight glanced at the caravan behind him, which had less than ten people left and all of them were injured, and he had some idea in his mind.

"Um……

You can go now. Just check the goods again when you enter the city."

The leading knight thought for a moment, nodded, and said, then he led the other knights beside him to make way.

In fact, he was just asking as usual. Although he was still at war with the Pochi Kingdom and strange things had been happening frequently in various parts of the kingdom recently, the kingdom was generally stable. He was not worried that the caravan in front of him, which now consisted of less than ten people, would be harmed by Songkani. Moreover, from the appearance of the caravan members and the smell of blood coming from the carriage at the end, he could judge that what the other party said should be true.

Watching the knights make way, Alison behind Killian gave orders to the guards behind him to get the caravan moving again.

Killian also returned to the carriage and looked at Livia sitting in the carriage and whispered, "Sir Livia, we have arrived at Songkani, but we need to check it out later. Look at your...

Do you want to change it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Livia took a look at the armor on his body and understood what he meant. It was nothing more than that this set of soldier's armor would cause some trouble.

"Okay, then help me pack up this set of armor. This is the armor I borrowed from a warrior who died bravely in battle. I need to return it."

Livia nodded and said, Killian nodded and turned to say a few words outside. A few minutes later, a guard outside handed in a set of linen clothes that looked poorly made. "Well, Lord Livia, you have to make do with this for now. We don't have any other clothes."

Killian said with a cautious smile.

Livia didn't mind, nodded and took the clothes, "Sir Livia, I'll ask someone to see if I can collect the materials you need at the market."

Killian tactfully stepped back and pulled the tarpaulin closed.

Livia also began to change her clothes silently. It must be said that it was a bit troublesome to put on and take off the armor. This was still light armor. Heavy armor would require help to put on and take off. Otherwise, if one person put it on and took it off, he might die of exhaustion before he could take it off.

They soon arrived at the city gate and the caravan stopped due to being stopped by the guards.

Killian gave a look, and Edgar next to him quickly stepped forward, leaned in front of the man who was obviously the leader of the guards, slipped a small purse from his sleeve and quietly handed it to the other party.

"This time our caravan was attacked by monsters on the road and many people died. Please be flexible."

The guard leader took the purse without changing his expression, weighed it, and stuffed it into his arms. After a while, he said in a muffled voice: "A basic inspection is still necessary."

"We know this, please feel free to check, it's the goods we left with."

Edgar said this with a smile on his face, placing extra emphasis on the word "goods".

The guard leader glanced at Killian, who had a calm expression behind him, and nodded.

"Check the cargo!"

He waved and gave orders to the guards behind him.

Livia stood in the middle of the team with his arms folded, watching quietly. He was aware of all the little movements and conversations between the guard leader and Edgar, but he didn't have any idea about it. From their movements and conversations, it can be seen that this form has become an unspoken rule. It is nothing more than merchants evading local taxes during inspections, and the guards also make some money from this.

As Livia expected, the guards just pretended to check them and then let them pass, hardly even looking at them.

The caravan started moving again, heading towards the city, but Killian arranged for a guard to wait at the city gate to purchase the alchemical materials that Livia needed at the market outside. The caravan walked along the city wall for a while and stopped at a place that looked a bit like a tavern.

"here it is?"

Livia walked up to Killian and asked with some confusion. He had never heard of a tavern here.

"This is an inn specially set up for our caravan to stay. It's actually similar to a tavern, except that a normal tavern can't accommodate our cargo and people."

Killian explained with a smile.

Livia nodded thoughtfully.

"Okay, I'll go take care of my own business first. I should be back in the evening. If I'm not back, I'll send someone to send you a message."

Killian smiled and nodded when he heard this, then asked the guard beside him to take a larger package.

"This is the armor of that warrior. I will prepare the reward for saving my life and protecting me in the evening."

Livia reached out and took the package and nodded indifferently. He didn't really care about the reward. After all, he could get at least two thousand five hundred from Natalia, and the reward here was just icing on the cake at most.

Watching Livia identify the direction and then turn to walk towards the street, Killian restrained the expression on his face, sighed with a complicated look in his eyes, and Livia was stopped at the inner city gate.

He looked helplessly at the guards who were vigilantly pointing their spears at him. Only when he was stopped did he realize that he had forgotten one thing. He was led into the inner city by Caius before, and went out with Natalia and her group. How was he supposed to get in now?

Delon's identity certificate was also destroyed in the battle. After all, silver coins and copper coins were destroyed in a battle of that magnitude, not to mention the fragile paper.

"I'm going to the inner city to find Viscount Natalia. You can take this to Viscount Natalia's mansion and ask about it."

Livia reluctantly took off the package on his back and handed it over. He had no other choice. It was no wonder that the two guards looked at him so vigilantly. His current outfit was similar to that of an ordinary village farmer, and strangely enough, he was carrying two long swords on his back.

The two guards looked at each other, and one of them looked at Livia and said in a low voice: “Put the package on the ground and step back.”

Livia frowned, put the package on the ground and took two steps back.

The guard carefully used the tip of his gun to pry open the straps of the package, revealing the armor underneath.

"This is..." The two guards looked at the armor in the package nervously, their pupils suddenly contracted. Livia clearly felt the change in their emotions. She frowned and quickly looked in the direction they were looking. Then she saw the black and red bloodstains and blood clots on the armor at first glance.

It's gonna be bad!

The two guards' first reaction was to send a warning towards the city wall.

"Enemy attack!"
