Near the border between the Kingdom of Dylan and the Kingdom of Camos, there was a small city called Dolez, which was good at producing spices. Although it was far away from Dylan's capital city and bordered the semi-hostile Kingdom of Camos, as the spices were in short supply in the world of Pheren, this small spice exporting city was still prosperous and wealthy.
To the south of Dolez, there was a busy road that passed through a lush jungle. This road directly connected the city of Dolez and the city of Kaili in the south of the lush Jungle.
In the past, there was an endless stream of carriages and merchants. However, due to the deterioration of the relationship between the Dylan and the Camos Kingdom that started more than ten years ago, the city of Kaili, which had frequent trades with the Kingdom of Camos, lost its economic importance. Furthermore, the city's ruling lord was ineffective, causing the once-thriving city of Kaili to decline. As a result, the trade route between the two cities was partially abandoned and had become a gathering place for robbers and bandits.
In recent years, even robbers had become rare, mainly because there were hardly any merchants traveling along this neglected road.
But today, a beautiful carriage embedded with gold rims appears on this deserted road. In the carriage's body, a diagonally cutting sword was carved with silver. This sign indicated the noble status of the owner of this carriage, but It seemed that the condition of this nobleman was very pitiful. Not only the size of this travelling convoy was very small, but as escorts, there were only dozens of listless ordinary soldiers following behind, and only one trainee-level knight, who was riding a steed in front of the group, could be told a noble escort.
The owner of this carriage was a 13-year-old beautiful little girl named Lo Lan. She had two brilliant golden ponytails, smooth and delicate skin as beautiful as pure milk, long slender eyebrows, charming eyes, a small, well-proportioned nose, slightly reddish jade cheeks, and delicate lips, giving her a petite and lovely appearance.
Although Lo Lan was very young, her little face, gently leaning against the window, seemed depressed and sad.
Lo Lan Minohorn was the full name of this little girl. She was the only daughter of the Minohorn family; at the same time, she was also the last member of the Minohorn family. Her family used to be as splendorous and glorious as the past Kaili city, but now it had also fallen with the decline of the city of Kaili.
Just after the death of the old Lord Minohorn, there was no one left for the young Lo Lan in the city of Kaili, so with the last few loyal private soldiers and the last remaining bag of gold coins, she set out on a journey to the legendary city of Dolez, which was called a city of opportunities, to find a chance to reestablish the Minohorn family.
Unfortunately, she was not a genius businesswoman, so the burden of establishing a Chamber of Commerce fell on the shoulder of her loyal butler...
Just when Lo Lan was looking at the trees passing by outside the carriage window with confusion over her future, her playmate and maid sitting next to her persuaded,
"Miss, everything will be okay. Dolez is well-known as the city of opportunities. With Miss's ingenuity, why are you afraid that there will be no chance to rejuvenate the Minohorn family?"
"Of course, I am the young Lady of Minohorn family."
After all, she was still very young. When her little maid praised her, Luo Taran lifted her chin with a high-above princess look, but because of her small height, no matter how one looked at it, she just looked like a proud little girl or a loli. Looking at Luo Taran, the little maid couldn't help but laugh out loud!
"You! you dare to laugh at me? now see how I punish you."
Lo Lan, with a red face, suddenly threw down the little maid on to the floor, then with a smirk on her face started to trickle her, until the poor little maid smiled so much that tears started to flow out, only after that she agreed to stop!
After listening to the faint sounds of laughing of the two girls from the carriage, the old butler and the tall warrior, who had been expressionless since they were on the road, also looked at each other and laughed!
In the carriage, after a period of frolicking around, Lo Lan, unable to bear the loneliness, sat next to the young maid who had just rearranged her clothes. She blushed a little and leaned in close to the maid's ear to ask,
"What kind of man you like?"
"My lady has become more shameless."
After hearing this question, the little maid's cheeks became steaming hot, she reached out to push away the shameless Lo Lan, but how could the arrogant little loli, who hadn't got the answer she wanted, let her go so easily?
"Say, say it~, otherwise... I will tickle you again"!
"Don't don't don't, I can't stand it, I will say."
Hearing that the young Miss would start her pranks again, the little maid quickly gave in.
"What about the man I like!... he must be a great warrior who can easily beat five...no! Ten big villains."
The shy little maid said proudly while hiding her flushed face.
"Huh! If it's this young lady, I don't need any powerful warriors to beat bad guys at all. I am enough, so..."
At this point, Lo Lan's milky face also flushed.
"...So as long as he is handsome and has a gentle personality".
With these last words, Lo Lan's voice became so faint that one could hardly hear it!
The young lady Lo Lan's voice was indeed almost inaudible, but another more important thing happened at this moment.
A few lavender light balls suddenly flew out and struck the worn-out commercial road about three hundred meters ahead of the carriage's path, creating an earth-shattering explosion.
After this deafening noise, large chunks of sand and gravel were sent flying in all directions, and cracks appeared in the ground, extending all the way under the carriage's wheels. The startled horses let out repeated neighs. Now, instead of the original "road," there were three or four deep pits that could have buried the entire carriage. This sudden attack, which had the potential to crush the entire convoy into pieces with a single strike, made the ordinary soldiers' legs tremble. If they weren't somewhat trained elites, this intimidation alone was enough to frighten them.
The little maid sitting in the carriage was already crying in fear, Lo Lan was kneeling on the floor and shivering like a frightened little rabbit. This kind of force that seemed like it could destroy everything, and the huge pressure, made the little girl's crouch slightly moist!
Fortunately, the pressure came and went quickly. When this terrible pressure suddenly came from the mysterious road blocker, almost all ordinary people slumped on the ground and started to pray as if they had seen a god.
Lo Lan barely controlled her trembling legs and stood up. A little ashamed by her cowardliness, she bit her pale lips, restrained her tears, and then stubbornly poked her head to look in the direction of the source of the pressure.
In the smoke and dust flying in front of the road, a young man in a blue hooded robe was steadily walking amongst the flying stone towards the unmoving convoy. It seemed like the surrounding dust and stones fragments were afraid to approach this figure, and his robe was still clean and tidy.
This slightly thin young man didn't look someone strong,but the aura he exuded felt like a "catastrophe," an overwhelming and irresistible force!
It was the overwhelming pressure that arose from the massive difference in their soul levels.
