Langbuye Caravan and Invaders (2)
The Rambouye caravan went uninterrupted into the desert.

Outside the wagon, the steady cries of camels and the voices of the workers could be heard.
-Take it off
– Quietly, dingily . . .
“How amazing. All.”
I always looked out the window and admired.
Everything has been new since I took possession, but crossing the desert was one of the most memorable experiences.
Sant, who was stroking the sleeping courage, looked at me and smiled broadly.
The Wren’s silk nest was colorful like a Saekdong Jeogori.
I was very worried about Prince Jesse’s body being poisonous from the heat, but fortunately, the carriage given by the Viscounts had a cold preservation magic.
Although not as flashy as the imperial carriage, it was a net exhaust that had everything it needed.
Unlike last year, I also received help from Christel and Sir John.
So a thick ring of ice floated over my head.
The cool air that came out was so great that it was cool down to the nape of the neck, and the cardinal maximized the effect of the air conditioner by circulating the air in the room.
Joan stuck out his tongue saying it was the first time he had such luxury.
“The sky is really pretty.”
If Jung Eun-seo had seen it, 50 photos would have been taken with ease.
A blue sky without a single cloud greeted us.
In a land where there was no shade and no city, the sun was all day long.
The square window shows a house made of stacked sand-colored stones.
There were few people, and jagged, stocky bushes were sitting everywhere.
The spinning wheel that you only see in westerns was rolling around. Occasionally I saw green trees.
“Wow.”
“It’s a mesquite, Your Majesty. It extends its roots deep into the ground and sucks up water. It’s good for firewood, and the pods are edible.”
“You don’t know anything, Sir John.”
“Even if you don’t know, I’ll answer you as if you know.”
“ha ha ha.”
A mercenary paladin who was once a member of the Holy See kindly explained.
I looked outside for a while and then came downstairs.
It was snowing and it was difficult to see the scenery for a long time. so······.
-chuck!
“You have to study.”
He declared as he laid down books and maps on the floor of the cart.
Unlike Sant, who nodded as if it was a good idea, Kristel and Joan held out their mouths.
The two were having fun eating butter cookies.
‘Aww.’ Tite, which spread on the main character’s legs, cried as if it was sad.
I’m still a baby, so what should I do if I only learn things like that?
“Prince, you looked like San-nim, but were you really San-nim? Who studies while traveling?”
“Can’t we just trust our grandparents and go? Your caravan will accompany you, so you’ll be safer than ever. There are also three paladins.”
Kristel said softly.
He didn’t want to read a book, so he seemed to be trying to do some tricks. I laughed out loud.
Before crossing the border, he said, ‘Let’s get out of the empire and think about it’, but now he’s acting as if he’s just a beginner.
Ga-in’s school days seemed to be pictured in front of her eyes.
“It’s not that I don’t trust the Viscount couple. But we don’t know much about neutral zones or deserts. The two of you also gave me reference books, so it would be good to read them together on the way.”
‘If you stay at the dormitory soon, you will meet foreigners.’ I said so and looked up at the bed.
Like the tallest of us, the Crown Prince was sitting still and looking down.
He even raised one eyebrow as if he didn’t really disagree with my opinion.
Beside them, the gods were rolling their boats around.
Like the outfit she changed earlier, she looks like some kind of red panda harem sultan.
“If you are bored by just reading books, I or the priest can help you with the story.”
Sir John added: Then Sant said, “I don’t know anything except the Vatican.”
I looked back at the paladin with my eyes shining.
He closed the diary he had been writing diligently and smiled.
He said it was a record he left to show to Herrit when he went back.
Then the two tomboy girls expressed their curiosity.
“The three of you are new to the neutral zone.”
“yes. His Majesty the Crown Prince has never been here before.”
Kristel answered the teacher’s question coldly.
Sir John’s white hair flowed down gracefully.
“This place is bleak and open as it appears, but you have to be careful as there are many hidden beings. Poisonous creatures are also common.”
A good-sounding voice was lower than usual. Joan swallowed a gulp.
The Red Panda Three Musketeers jumped out of the bed and hugged me.
Seeing the bundle of trembling tails gave me a small smile. It’s not even a joke, what’s scary?
“According to legend, the ruins of the ancient nation of Unio lie buried deep in the sand. That’s why swarms of hidden robbers and bandits roam the desert day and night. If you find a treasure, you can get a lot of money.”
“Are you selling your land blindly in a place like this? Know what will come out! Aren’t there magical beasts here too?”
The genius painter Joan was also a great audience.
The five-colored headband, which the Viscounts gave as a gift, shook with excitement.
Sir John looked satisfied.
“That’s a good point, Baron. There are a lot of dead bodies left behind because they stopped breathing.”
‘I just saw one over there.’ He beckoned outside.
We unconsciously turned our eyes away, and then we retreated to our buttocks.
Indeed, not far from the procession, I saw something like a human remains!
How is such a show possible!
– Kiyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy there
“Don’t look. Don’t look like that.”
I lowered my gaze as I patted Leah who was wailing.
Sant was contemplating and covered his mouth with a handkerchief.
As for Kristel, ‘It wasn’t a safari….’ ‘ he muttered in confusion, and then sat down. Was it a safari?
“Has anyone actually found a treasure?”
Prince Sedric asked sharply. The cardinal shook his head as if painted.
“yes. There are those who have become rich in search of ancient relics or gold and silver treasures. It’s a case of less than ten fingers, but a latecomer believes in their luck and jumps in.”
“Are you sure, you risk your life like that?”
‘Money crazy people are everywhere.’ The young baron chewed the jerky and clicked his tongue.
Sir John begged my pardon and unfolded the map in the middle of the cart.
Curious Demi sticks her nose out of her arms.
Scarred fingers moved along the red path.
“But we are through the only trade route in the neutral zone. You won’t have to see it that badly often. It’s not far from the Winite River, so drinking water is easy, and just follow the road and you’ll reach the Temple of the Boundary. There is a large-scale caravanserai supervised by the Holy See on the way, so you can do business and lodging comfortably.”
“Professional, expert.”
Christel was truly amazed. Everyone, except the prince, groaned loudly.
Sir John laughed and joked.
“Since Sir Christel is there, I don’t have to worry about water even if I go down a side road.”
“That’s also acknowledged!”
The main character fluttered his hair with a bright face. Joan scratched his cheek and frowned.
“A caravanserai is like an inn, isn’t it? So is there a village?”
“I saw that there was a house.”
I got her Sir John softly affirmed.
“Sometimes small villages are formed near oasis or springs. Caravansarai has a large village nearby as the manager is sure. It’s safe, so there are regular markets.”
“It’s gonna be fun.”
He said he was muttering a little, but his voice was so loud that his friends looked at it and muttered.
I was embarrassed, so I just rubbed the ice ring for nothing. The cardinal furrowed his eyebrows.
“Even though the holiday season is over, a caravan of this size will open a market worth seeing.”
“ah······.”
His words made us dazed for a moment. Goosebumps slowly rose from the calves.
Come to think of it, you said that during the Solemnity of Advent that you gave me, it definitely didn’t go to March.
It is said that the two weeks to commemorate the creation of the continent of God will maintain peace even in the battle area.
But I don’t know how things will change next month.
“What day is today?”
“If I numbered correctly, it would be March 1.”
When I asked a serious question, Kristel answered with the same seriousness.
Joan clenched his chin.
“What, then, are the two countries battling again at the border? So far, nothing has been concluded!”
The purity was 100% true. Many times I was astonished at my own laxity.
He was still obsessed with the idea of going to the Neutral Zone and the Temple of the Frontier, unaware that the date had moved to March.
How could this be, Jesse Jung!
“How come… No, it is.”
I calmly turned the calculator in my head.
If all plans had worked out, we should have crossed the border before February was over.
However, human affairs did not work out so smoothly.
It was because he had wandered for several hours after leaving the Imperial Palace, and the delay of the schedule due to the eastern wide-area portal check also played a part.
Even after joining Rambouye Caravan, the speed did not rise.
It was because they couldn’t run as fast as a regular wagon, and the procession moved slower than usual because they were carrying heavy specialties.
I couldn’t even dream of making unreasonable demands in the yard where I was being taken care of.
“Oh my gosh.”
Then it happened like this
The reality was different from the novel, and nothing came out as straight as it was measured with a ruler.
I was desperate for a timeline that was completely out of alignment.
Would it have been different if Kristel, the main character, and the prince, led the way?
Are we ruined…?
“Yes, Prince Jesse. it’s okay. Plant it.”

Our heads turned. Sant stuttered and stuttered.
“Your Majesty… By now, of course, you would have noticed the absence of the Crown Prince and Prince. You probably know that we went to the neutral zone, but there is no need to fight at the border… Well. So.”
“I mean, you don’t want us to create trouble in distant lands.”
Sir John was eloquent. I blinked my eyes. Sant cleared his complexion and clapped his hands.
“you’re right! It’s probably not going to have a characteristic mild atmosphere since the solemnity period is over.”
“I hear it and it makes sense, Prince. Now that this has come to pass, wouldn’t your majesty be cheering for you as well? I hope you won’t come to catch us.”
Kristel said looking at the prince. Then the man tilted his head slightly.
His eyes were calm, which meant he agreed. The head was nodded.
“Actually, General Rupert didn’t even suggest a specific negotiation date. Your Majesty and His Majesty Aurely may prevent a clash until we return home.”
Um, I guess I’m overdoing it myself. Still, it was really messy.
I looked at the young priest and asked worriedly.
“Then Sant decided to make a pilgrimage to the Temple of the Boundary…”
“Heh heh, I’m fine. Because the father’s letter ordered him to leave under the pretext of that. And the pilgrimage itself lasts until mid-March. If it’s a pity, after arriving at the temple and meeting my father, I think it’s okay to join at the end.”
“That’s fortunate.”
I raised the corners of my lips facing the priest who smiled innocently.
In short, even if there is no merit during the Great Holiday period… Since Emperor Frederic would not know that we were here, he meant she would keep the peace until there was a meaningful harvest.
At this point, it was not the Lord’s peace, but the ‘Emperor’s Peace’.
I gripped the growth Master had given me with one hand.
Don’t let me disappoint you.
It is important to actually see the Holy Sacrament, but let’s go back to having a proper discussion with the new kingdom’s royal family.
Make sure Elise is reassured too.
“Come to think of it, you didn’t tell me one important thing.”
Sir John covered Tite’s quilt and spoke softly.
The man’s side profile was facing the setting sun outside.
“In the desert, the spirit of an exiled country wanders. This is not a legend, it is a fact.”
“Eh?”
The jerky fell from Joan’s mouth.
Christel hurriedly passed it back to her.
We diligently followed the cardinal’s gaze, and we were startled to be in the shape of a Halla-mountain rabbit.
Red pandas also raised their tails.
“Oh my God.”
“Wow······.”
It was not enough to say that it was the size of a house, and there was a pillar so high that it seemed to pierce the sky.
With a bit of exaggeration, it was a stone pillar that was thick enough to encircle 20 adults.
There was nothing in the place where the roof would one day sit.
Buried deep in the sand, it was inclined at an angle, and it was difficult to imagine its original shape because it had been worn and broken for many years.
Just behind it was a single pillar lying flat.
I couldn’t keep my mouth shut, amazed by the mystery and vastness of the world in the novel.
I have never seen such a huge ruin in my life.
As if made for something bigger and greater than humans…
– Whoa!
“Ugh.”
Shake! I was frightened and looked left and right.
Am I the only one who just saw that? Or did I see something in vain?
The red shadow just walked around…!
“no. You saw it right, my lord.”
Sir John spoke as if he had pierced my heart.
While Kristel let out a silent scream, he slowly raised his gaze and stared at the high-ranking prince.
Beyond the colorful veil, I could see the glowing sunset eyes like a wild beast in the bushes.
“Believing that they still live in Unio. It is the soul of misfortune. At dusk, they wander around the ruins like that.”
‘Be careful not to get caught.’ The cardinal warned in a whisper.
‘Keeing.’ Cowardly Leah started crying again.
This time, I couldn’t appease him quickly.
Because it seems like this is a true ghost story.
