Chapter 126: Fort Taranto
The bodies of the two horses gave the three little wind crows a full meal.
They pounced on the horse excitedly, and said to Tom and William while eating, "We will remember you, and kindness will be rewarded."
Tom's smile became even brighter when he heard this.
After Xiao Fengyao couldn't finish eating, he deliberately used an iron sword to cut the corpses of the two horses into pieces and buried them in different places.
Tom was not buried deep, for fear that the three little wind crows would not be dug out by then.
After he buried it, he pointed to those places and said to the three little wind crows, "I bury the meat here, and you will get food here when you are hungry."
Although the three little wind crows couldn't understand his words, they could understand what he meant. They nodded lively and croaked, "Thank you, kind humans! We know where to find food!"
Tom nodded.
Two old crows looked down in the bird's nest above, motionless, like sculptures, with only their eyes turning with the positions of the three little wind crows.

After dealing with the two spy horses, William and Tom went into battle lightly.
They easily crossed the borders of two countries that were deemed useless and entered the Principality of Loria.
As soon as he arrived at the Principality of Loria, the smile on Tom's face never disappeared.
He explained to William, "Mr. Zorro, the Principality of Loria was originally an area of the Bucharest Empire, but when the nobles rebelled, the Bucharest Empire split into two kings, and the Principality of Loria also took the opportunity to be independent."
"However, because all three countries belong to the Bucharest Empire, the languages of these three countries are the same. Except for some vocabulary differences, people from the three countries can communicate without barriers."
William smiled at Tom's enthusiasm and excitement.
Without the horses, the two of them slowed down. In addition, the time spent enjoying the scenery along the way, and they stopped while walking. It took them more than a month to arrive at the capital of the Principal of Loria.
The capital of the Principal of Loria is called Taranto Fort, which was originally a castle built by the sea!
The Kelite family castle!
Later, Taranto Fort gradually expanded, and many refugees came to settle near Taranto Fort, and gradually formed a city.
Later, the Kelite family became independent and established the Principality of Loria, and Taranto Fort became the capital of the Principality.
Taranto Fort faces the sea three times, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and only one side faces the inland.
There are also reasons why the Principality of Loria can survive in the gap between the two kingdoms - the turtle shell is a bit hard, and both kingdoms are afraid of catching their teeth!

William and Tom paid the entry fee and entered Fort Taranto.
Looking at the citizens I saw, my skin was dark and rough!
Here, the air is filled with a salty smell of sea breeze.
Tom's face suddenly showed an intoxication, and he couldn't wait to rush to the beach to see the mysterious veil of the sea.
He did what he wanted. After asking someone for a while, he took William to the beach.
When passing by a place, a group of people stood in front of him and blocked his way.
The group surrounded a man riding on a horse.
The bronze-colored and ordinary-looking man shouted loudly, "The princess chooses her husband, but the suitor must complete a difficult task. If he fails to complete it, he will have to sacrifice his life."
"The princess chooses her husband, but the suitor must complete a difficult task. If he fails to complete it, he will have to sacrifice his life."
"The princess chooses her husband, but the suitor must complete a difficult task. If he fails to complete it, he will have to sacrifice his life."
The man seemed to be carrying out the task of passing the message. After shouting several times, he stopped and urged the horse under his crotch to ride elsewhere.
After the man left, the bored citizens had not dispersed, but instead started to chatter.
"Has no one passed the test of Little Princess Alisa?"
"Yes! How many people have died? Do you think those people are desperate for life?"
"Little Princess Alisha is so beautiful, of course there are some silly boys who give up their lives for her!"
"I'm just old. If I were ten years younger, oh, no, even five years old, I would try it, so that I wouldn't regret even if I die!"
"Just talk big. Yalei, do you have the courage to say it in front of your Anlina?"
"...I'm just an example? Don't you have this kind of mind?"
"Of course I don't!"
"hehe……"
"Even if there is, I can tell the difference between reality and fantasy!"
"hehe……"
Most people argue endlessly, attracting Tom and William.
Tom pulled a pedestrian curiously and asked, "Sir, I want to ask, what are you discussing?"
The pedestrian swept William and Tom with the light of scrutiny, and then said, "Are you all foreigners?"
"Yes. We are from the Kingdom of Bucharest. My name is Tom. This is Zorro, Lord Zorro!" Tom immediately replied with a smile.
"Haha... I know! You don't have the smell of the Principality of Loria on you." The pedestrian curled his lips and said.
However, he had no intention of discrimination and answered Tom's question, "The pearl of our Principal of Loria, the flying swallow on the sea, and the little princess Alisha, are ready to choose a husband!"
"As long as you pass the princess's test, you can marry the beautiful Princess Alisa!"
"If you can't pass, you will be punished!"
"What is the punishment?" Tom asked when the pedestrian didn't say anything.
"Death! Hang!" The pedestrian paused and replied.
The two words "death? hanging?" deeply stimulated Tom and evoked the past that he did not want to recall.
He thought about it and asked again, "Does there be many people dying for this?"
"Of course! No one has ever passed the princess' test! Naturally, many people died because of this!" The pedestrian sighed.
"Young foreigner, I advise you not to be blinded by beauty and not to walk this path." The pedestrian had a good heart and actually persuaded Tom.
"Thank you!" In fact, he didn't need to say anything. When he heard the words hanging, Tom completely lost his mind.
He thanked the pedestrians, and then continued to the beach with William.
William could become Liu Xiahui when facing the naked Snow White, let alone a princess who had never seen her before!
So William also acted calmly.
His current purpose is to get the golden apple.
He originally wanted to bring the three wind crows by his side to raise them, but he was afraid that if he took them away, he would lose the opportunity to grow freely. Maybe he would not know where the golden apple tree was?
