Chapter 451: Gifts are exchanged

Woo~

On the vast grassland, the majestic sound of the horn spreads in all directions.

The Huoluan merchant group slowly stopped advancing.

The sun had sunset below the horizon, stars could be seen in the sky, and night was about to cover the land, and it was time for the travelers to set up camp and rest.

The long procession gathered and formed a makeshift camp on the flat grass, out of giant rhinoceros packs and wagons.

The camp was set up in a very particular location, next to a small river, which not only solved the problem of water sources, but also allowed to cast nets in the river to catch fresh food.

The miscellaneous servants of the merchant group removed the black oil wood from the wagons and set up piles of bonfires in the camp.

Black oilwood is a tree rich in oil, it is a good fuel and burns for a very long time.

A fire made of a dozen black oil wood is enough to burn a long night.

When it was completely dark, a bonfire was lit in the camp of the caravan, and the handymen set up black iron pots filled with clean water on them, and put salt, dried mushrooms, wild vegetables, and freshly caught river fish into the pots.

Cook a pot of fragrant fish soup.

The people of the merchant group sat around the campfire, and with the heat of the flame, the dry and hard rye cakes were baked soft and hot.

They then tear the roasted ryecake into pieces, dip it into the hot fish broth, let the dough absorb the delicious soup, and then scoop it up with a wooden spoon and put it in their mouths.

Such a simple delicacy is enough to make up for the hard work and exhaustion of a day's trek.

The knights of the Guardian Merchant Order were better fed, and in addition to fresh fish soup, they had barbecue bacon and ale.

Everyone eats meat, drinks soup, drinks alcohol, talks and laughs, and the atmosphere is warm and relaxed.

But that doesn't include the high views.

Although the Huoluan Merchant Group accepted him, they were still a little wary of him.

Gao Jing knew this, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

The order of the Great Wilderness is only in the well-defended cities, in the uninhabited wilderness, and danger is everywhere.

In addition to monsters, there are also criminals and bandits.

Business travelers from different cities were their best predators.

Although the scale and strength of the Huoluan merchant group are very strong, there are also large bandit groups in the wilderness.

I have to guard against it.

So he didn't go near each other very interestingly, and found a place to sit and rest in the outer area of the camp.

What Gao Jing didn't expect was that he deliberately avoided the crowd, but the female knight from before took the initiative to come over and said to him: "Your Excellency, if you don't dislike it, please come to our side for a drink." ”

Her words were quite polite.

Gao Jing was surprised: "You're not afraid that I am..."

Gao Jing didn't say the latter words, believing that the other party should understand what he meant.

Of course, the female knight understood what Gao Jing meant, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency said that you are joking, I believe that Your Excellency will never be a member of the bandit group." ”

Ever since Gao Jing joined the merchant group to follow him, the female knight had been quietly watching him.

Along the way, Gao Jingdu behaved unconventionally.

But this is not the reason why the female knight trusts Gao Jing, but she has never been able to see through Gao Jing's reality and feels that the latter is like shrouded in fog, with an indescribable and unfathomable temperament.

This kind of temperament has been seen in some strong people.

What kind of bandit group would send such a character to infiltrate the merchant group as an internal response?

Although the female knight is young, whether it is EQ, IQ or experience, it is not low!

That's why I took the initiative to come over and show favor to Gao Jing.

Gao Jing felt her kindness and sincerity, and of course he didn't refuse, got up and smiled: "Then bother." ”

"You're welcome. ”

The female knight smiled and said, "My name is Huo Tong." ”

Gao Jing nodded: "Gao Jing." ”

He followed the female knight named Huotong to the center of the camp.

Several large tents were erected in the center, and five or six bonfires were set up next to them, and dozens of knights were seated around them.

These knights are undoubtedly the elite of the merchant group's escort force, most of them are burly and imposing, and they all drink and eat meat in large bowls, which looks very arrogant.

Seeing the high scenery that followed Huotong, these rough men seemed to have been cast a silence spell in Qi Qi, and they all remained silent, staring at him with surprise, doubt, and even provocation.

It's as if Gao Jing is an alien existence.

In fact, it's true, Gao Jing is really an outlier, if he doesn't have the power blessing of the giant spirit totem, where would he have the qualifications to be equal to these giant warriors.

Huotong ignored these strange stares, and sat down in front of a campfire with Gao Jing.

She introduced to her companions present: "This is Your Excellency Gao Jing, who is going to the City of a Thousand Islands. ”

Gao Jing smiled at them.

Many of these companions had seen Gao Jing before, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

After all, Gao Jing was a complete stranger to them.

The kind of unknown origin.

They couldn't figure out why Huo Tong was so polite and polite to Gao Jing.

Huo Tong didn't explain, she took a leg of lamb roasted to a browned brown and handed it to Gao Jing: "Your Excellency Gao Jing, try the smoked leg of lamb secretly made by our merchant group." ”

"Thank you. ”

Gao Jing took it and took a bite, and couldn't help nodding: "Yes, it tastes good." ”

This smoked meat has a unique flavor, and although it is not tender enough, it has a firm and fragrant mouthfeel.

The only regret is that the smoked lamb leg contains very little spiritual energy, which cannot be compared to fresh demon beast meat.

There is no way to do this, because during the smoking process, a part of the "nutrients" must be lost.

Huotong handed Gao Jing another barrel of ale.

The barrels are round wooden barrels, four or five meters high, and the ale stored in them is much fresher than smoked lamb shanks.

Gao Jing took a few sips and felt very refreshed.

At this time, he noticed the unkind eyes from his surroundings.

The reason is very simple, among the guard knights of the Huoluan Merchant Group, there is only one female knight in Huotong.

She is also very beautiful, and her status in the business group can be imagined.

How can a young knight feel comfortable now seeing Huo Tong so attentive to Gao Jing, a stranger?

There are several knights who are eager to try, ready to "test" Gao Jing's physical strength.

They didn't think that Gao Jing would refuse their invitation to fight.

Gao Jing only felt funny about this.

After thinking about it, he put down the leg of mutton and the wine barrel and took out a blackhorned bull from the storage space.

And he laid it out on the ground beside him.

Gao Jing smiled and said to Huo Tong: "Thank you for your hospitality, a small meaning is not a tribute." ”

And at this moment, the knights are already dumbfounded!

Not only because of the visual impact brought to everyone by this monster beast weighing thousands of tons, but also because of the shock brought by Gao Jing's hand Void Extraction.

He actually has Void Gear!
