Vanessa's hand, which was holding the rabbit, was trembling.
She was certain that she had not missed any insignia on the horseman's body, no emblems of any family or organization were exhibited on him.
In other words, this horseman was just an ordinary civilian.
On the contrary, Vanessa herself, purposefully standing next to the Snowy Hart family crest in the carriage, could not have been overlooked by him as a mber of the Snowy Hart family forces.
"Just a re civilian..."
Vanessa, gripped by anger, hoisted the white rabbit and climbed onto the carriage. The three doe spirits, sensing their master's rage, obediently followed her into the carriage.
The two coachn dared not say a word and promptly prepared for departure.
"Catch up to that man..."
Vanessa suppressed her anger and calmly gave orders.
However, the more her words were hidden in calmness, the more they frightened the coachn and the doe spirits.
The young lady they served was not one to easily let things go.
.
Typically, it's quite challenging for a carriage to catch up with a lone horseman.
However, Vanessa believed that the man, having his warhorse carry so much cargo, wouldn't be able to go fast.
On their end, they had just rested, and as long as they exerted all their energy, they would surely be able to catch up in a short distance!
Full of expectations to teach the young man a lesson, Vanessa stuck her head out of the window, staring at the horseman galloping in front of her.
Then, the horseman went farther and farther away... until he completely disappeared from Vanessa's sight.
.
Vanessa was silent for a long ti.
She wanted to scold the carriage drivers, but she knew it wasn't their fault. The horses pulling the carriage had truly given their all, she could see that.
She wanted to scold herself, but she didn't know where she had gone wrong. If the sa situation were to happen again, she would likely make the sa judgent.
"That man was too abnormal... he and his warhorse, there's definitely sothing off..."
Vanessa sat down in a huff and sulked for the entire day.
.
The scene switches to Tyler.
In the sky, an eagle was soaring.
On the ground, Moto-chan was leaving a trail of dust.
After shaking off the Snowy Hart family's carriage, Tyler let Moto-chan slow down. He was sure that the other party, as long as they had a bit of common sense, would not think to chase him again.
After seeing the Snowy Hart family's carriage tracks last night, Tyler did not chase after them imdiately. Instead, he rested well for the night, dyed his hair a yellow-brown with ginger, and then chased after them while honing his skills (Deceiver Lv15 1↑, Intelligence 10↑).
With Moto-chan's capabilities, chasing a carriage was no problem at all.
The reason Tyler chased after them was because it was on the way, and because he was curious.
As one of the five major families of the Wester Kingdom, why would the Snowy Hart family's carriage appear in the territory of the Azure Lizard family, and also head towards Delis Town?
(Could it be, also for the 'Aqua Nest'?)
After chasing for a while, Tyler finally saw that the Snowy Hart family's carriage was parked by the roadside for a rest.
He glanced over and could basically confirm that there were only two carriage drivers and a young girl on their side, plus three cute little deer.
What puzzled Tyler was that the basic information of the two drivers showed "Azure Lizard family's coachn," while only the young girl's status information showed "Second Young Miss of the Snowy Hart family."
Tyler instinctively realized that getting involved might cause trouble, and this kind of young lady from a big family was not easy to court.
So, when this "Vanessa Snowy Hart" invited him to stop and chat, Tyler chose to flee first.
.
Having shaken off the pursuit of the Snowy Hart family's carriage, Tyler cald down to reorganize the information he had gathered in a few seconds.
There were two things he was concerned about, one was the combat occupation of the second young lady of the Snowy Hart family, and the other was the appearance of this young lady.
The combat occupation of Vanessa Snowy Hart was a level 48 "White Doe Servant," a concept not within Tyler's knowledge.
Combined with the na of the Snowy Hart family, Tyler speculated that this was probably a combat occupation related to bloodline or family, and outsiders probably could not learn it.
Besides the occupation, Tyler was also sowhat concerned about Vanessa's appearance. This was not because she was delicate and cute, but because Tyler always felt that he had seen this face sowhere.
After a little recall, Tyler finally rembered that in his new "Precognitive Death Scene," this second young lady of the Snowy Hart family also appeared among the passersby!
.
In criminology, there is a saying that the murderer is always inclined to return to the scene of the cri.
So are to confirm whether the cri is successful and whether there are any clues left, and so are due to a perverted psychology wanting to see the tragic state of the victim again.
Combining the "Stellar Oracle" left by the divination rabbit granny, Tyler does not think that Vanessa's appearance at the scene is a coincidence.
(But... didn't the "Stellar Oracle" tell "don't ignore the deer's cry", and say "the holy white deer is the ssenger of God"...)
Whether it is Vanessa's family, combat occupation, or the three little does that accompany her, these all match the description in the "Stellar Oracle".
And from the tone of voice, Vanessa should be a "good person", not related to the murderer, what Tyler should do is to take the initiative to approach her.
But looking at Vanessa's indifferent face in the "Precognitive Death Scene," and recalling her very arrogant inner activities when they t just now, Tyler always felt that this lady would not be the "angel" who could save him.
(Lack of clues, let's talk about it when we get to Delis Town.)
(According to the current situation, this Vanessa also intends to go to Delis Town.)
.
A day passed quickly, and night fell again.
Vanessa, who had been sulking all day, was sitting by the fire, tasting the roasted rabbit at bit by bit.
Even in such a simple outdoor environnt, this second young lady of the Snowy Hart family did not do anything contrary to her identity, and she made the act of eating rabbit skewers very elegant.
"I'm full, you guys eat, and we'll set off after you finish."
Vanessa got up and went back to the carriage, watching her three little does eating grass nearby.
At this ti, one of the doe's ears suddenly moved, and then it looked up at the nearby woods.
Vanessa noticed this, subconsciously reached for the silver flute on her belt, but after waiting a few seconds, she didn't hear the does crying out, it seed that it was not an enemy attack.
— (Is that... a figure?)
Under the moonlight, Vanessa could vaguely see a person walking over from the forest.
Encountering a lone person in such a wild place, either it is a scout of bandits, or it is a holess wanderer.
Vanessa saw that the does still had no reaction, guessing it should be the latter, so she was too lazy to get off the carriage, thinking that letting the coachn deal with it would be fine.
As the figure got closer, Vanessa was sowhat surprised to find that this "wanderer" was actually a young girl.
She seed quite young, under her pure white hair was a pair of bright sky blue eyes, and for so reason, one of her eyes was covered with a black eye patch.
Looking at the young girl's strange dress, Vanessa clicked her tongue unhappily.
(Could it be a "streetwalker"...)
This white-haired one-eyed young girl made Vanessa feel very unpleasant.
