A convoy of more than 100 people drove slowly on the desolate yellow sandy land.

As the only elementalist accompanying the caravan, Douglas fell asleep in the comfort of his carriage.

The carriage was built to be extremely comfortable, and the specially made cushions lay on it like a cloud.

If it weren't for that, the elemental master, who was already weaker than ordinary people, would have been tossed and scattered long ago.

Through the car window, Douglas saw that the wind outside had rolled up countless sands and stones, blowing horses and men standing up, and from time to time several knight attendants were thrown to the ground, their eyes full of disdain.

Douglas, who was born in the Southern Empire, was put on the earth, that is, it is a regional discrimination dog.

In the Southern Empire, low-ranking knightly squires were not allowed to ride horses, and only small countries such as the Duchy of Celt would allow squires to step on stirrups.

Douglas looked down not only on the scrambled knights, but also on his own patrons.

Perhaps it was because of his hatred of the rich that he hated any nobleman.

The group of escort warriors outside are all warriors of the slave catcher regiment of Count Hegel of the Duchy of Selt.

Most of these warriors from the mercenary guild were cruel and cold-blooded wanted criminals and ruffians, who were only whitewashed after entering the Earl's Court.

Even if it is washed, it is not a fair job.

Although slave hunting does not violate human law, it is still morally condemned.

Douglas had no good impression of the so-called aristocracy, and these sanctimonious hypocrites called themselves gentlemen, and in private, they did all sorts of crazy things.

In particular, his master, Count Hegel, had the largest slave hunting group in the duchy, and it was rumored that the duke's mansion had different slaves from more than forty races, and there were both men and women.

It is said that the Earl is the most fond of strong male slaves, especially young orcs and barbarians.

Douglas looked at the knight in the sand, cast a disdainful look, and closed the window.

If it weren't for the fact that he could earn a thousand black iron coins in one trip, he would definitely not be mixed up with this group of slave hunters.

In particular, it can be used to grind ghosts, and it is also possible to hire elementalists.

Douglas was curious.

A thousand black iron coins, I don't know what good things the caravan gained from going to Beamon's territory this time.

The core of the elementals?

Beamon Beauty?

Or a rare elf?

Douglas thought it should be the core of the elementalmon.

On the elemental desert of Beamon, steel is extremely barren, and apart from the rampant elemental beasts, there is really nothing that is not produced by humans.

Douglas didn't care about the remaining five hundred black iron coins, he wanted a recommendation from the earl.

Douglas is nearly fifty years old, and he has not made any progress in elemental cultivation in recent years.

He also doesn't have the luxury of being promoted to a high-level elemental, as long as he gets a recommendation, he can smoothly join the court elementalist team of the Celtic Kingdom, and from then on he will be worshiped by the principality.

Learn the art of literature and martial arts, and the goods are with the emperor's family.

Elementalists are noble and powerful, but people are divided into three, six, nine and so are their professions.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the outside of the circle looks glamorous, and only after entering the circle does you know that the chain of contempt of the elite group is more serious.

even though

After becoming an elemental, the upper class and the nobility will still be treated differently.

To be a guest of the rich and rich, it is better to be loyal to the nobles, and to be loyal to the nobles than to become the worship of the royal family.

Only by becoming the court worship of the royal family can the elementalists have inexhaustible resources for cultivation and experimentation.

Although Celt is not one of the human powers, it is also covered by the Holy See and can be regarded as a vassal state of the Holy See.

Celt is also an ally in the Imperial League, and it is better to be in the principality than he used to be a mercenary mage.

Douglas succeeded in obtaining the title of Intermediate Elementalist before he was forty years old, and it has to be said that he has a good talent for elementals.

You must know that many elementalists are sixty or seventy years old, and they still stop at the title of junior elementalist.

However, after Douglas obtained the title of intermediate elementalist, he gradually became fascinated by this world of flowers, and the bright lights made him no longer meditate every day, but only care about pleasure, and the time for meditation every day was less than an hour, and the elemental cultivation did not enter at all.

With the psychology of breaking the jar and breaking it, he was swept out of the house by the Elementalist Association again, and then began to be a wandering elementalist, hired by this today, and hired by that tomorrow, all over the continent to take on tasks.

When you make money, you squander it, and when you don't have money, you go to pick up tasks.

After so many years, Douglas already wants to retire, with a thousand black iron coins, enough for him to buy a manor in the countryside of the principality and hire a few servants, if he becomes a court worshipper, with the name of an intermediate elemental, he will be respected wherever he goes.

While Douglas was contemplating his good retirement, there was a commotion outside.

Douglas had a big alarm bell in his head, and before he had time to think about it, he began to chant incantations silently.

This is also the instinctive reaction of the elemental, and when encountering an enemy, the elemental shield is released first.

After all, the physical condition of the elementalist is not as good as that of ordinary people.

Douglas really lived up to the title of Intermediate Elementalist, and after silently reciting a long list of incantations, three water-blue rippling shields slowly floated around him.

An intermediate water elemental shield was summoned in just a few seconds.

The water element, the attack power is not as good as the fire and electric elements, and the defense is not as good as the earth and wood system, but it is better than a fast word.

At the beginning, Douglas chose to cultivate the water element, precisely because of the fast casting speed and low mana consumption, not seeking lethality, but only self-protection at critical moments.

This elemental shield, in particular, was used by Douglas perfectly.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Defend, form a formation, quickly form a formation. ”

"Protect the baggage cart, protect the Elemental Master, and quickly end the formation. ”

Douglas frowned, listening to the chaotic shouts outside, he secretly shook his head, in the end, it was a ragtag army, and the enemy had not yet attacked, so he was in chaos first.

Pushing the car door, Douglas squinted, because of the unique weather in the wasteland, the yellow sand in the sky filled the air, and the eyes blown by the biting cold wind were very uncomfortable, and the visibility was less than tens of meters.

This is just when you arrive at the Sunset Grand Canyon, and if you go deep into the Great Wilderness, the weather will be even worse.

The reason for traveling in such bad weather is precisely because in winter, the same is true of Beamon's territory, and in the absence of food and drink, whatever is transported over is more expensive than usual

It is 30% high, and no matter what you want to ship back, the price will be 30% lower.

In the faint moonlight, Douglas could only see a group of figures approaching in the direction of the caravan in the distance.

Beamon orcs?

Or other human merchants?

Douglas frowned and thought about the identity of the other party, thought for a moment, and felt that the first thought could be ignored, it was impossible for such a group of Beamon orcs to cross the wasteland to come here without hiding from the barbarians.

If it's the latter, then it's troublesome, the other party is obviously prepared, and this time the accompanying guards are only most of the low-level knight squires and a group of miscellaneous troops.

As for the elemental power, it is even more insufficient, except for himself, who is known as the weakest attack power of the water system intermediate elemental, there is not even a holy light priest.

You must know that it is not uncommon for human merchant groups to intercept and kill each other, especially in this kind of inaccessible Sunset Grand Canyon, if hundreds of people die, no one will find the body for a few months, and there is no traceability or investigation.

There is also a lack of intelligence, and there is Chu Ci who led the tribal warriors to pour out of the nest.

Originally, he wanted to fight an ambush, but he didn't expect the visibility to be so low, and when he finally found the other party's business group, it was obvious that the other party also found everyone.

The group of people who were constantly approaching the merchant group were the elite warriors of the Wolf Tooth tribe led by Chu Ci and Old George.

"Phew!" Spit out a mouthful of sand, Chu Ci changed another animal skin mask and brought it to his mouth, squinting his eyes and staring at the human merchant group not far away, the chaotic human merchant group was obviously also frightened and caught off guard.

I don't know how many armed forces the other party has, Yan Entropy and Big Bell had observed these people from a distance in the morning, but they only knew that the number of the merchant group was no more than a hundred, but most of the accompanying guards wore armor and swords, but the combat strength was unknown.

The only good news that is not good news is that the armor and swords worn by the guards are not standard equipment, and they are obviously not regular troops, so this human merchant group should have no military background, just a small merchant group.

Pinch the persimmon, and of course find the soft one and pinch it hard.

In addition to himself and the wolftooth George, nearly a hundred warriors of the tribe poured out.

In order to be safe, there is a second echelon of more than 50 old ladies three kilometers away, ready to support at any time.

There is a saying on the continent that barbarians, everyone fights, which means that the barbarians of the wasteland can take a breath are warriors.

In fact, the group of barbarian ladies in the camp are thicker than Chu Ci's waist alone.

Chu Ci, who was wearing windproof goggles and an animal skin mask, yelled to the side: "Big brother, with this kind of visibility, can you see who the enemy is?"

In this kind of bad weather, communication is all about roaring.

"I can see it anyway. Yan Entropy, who squinted his eyes, drew out his tactical dagger, and looked eager to try: "Otherwise, I'll rush over directly, how much can I solve." ”

Yan Entropy likes this kind of weather the most, others can't see him, he can see others, go up and stab him, stab him to death, and the people around him may not be able to react.

"No, the protagonists are barbarian warriors, you have to fundamentally change their mentality, you can protect me. ”

"Okay. Yan Entropy nodded slightly boredly.

Chu Ci habitually made a tactical gesture, and the old George next to him yelled, "What do you mean?"

"Tell everyone to disperse and stop moving forward. ”

Old George snorted and began to shout back at the top of his voice.
