Chapter 399: Yunlu Firm
A huge convoy of hundreds of people was moving alone across the endless wilderness. There are about more than 100 www.biquge.info team of pen & fun & pavilion, each car is dragged by three bone horses, this undead creature has great strength, does not know tiredness, and basically has no attack power, it is easier to tame, many merchants like to use this bone horse to pull the cart.
Next to the vehicle, there were many warriors on horseback, and in addition to humans, there were many intelligent beings who seemed to belong to other races.
In the front of the vehicle, sat a fat man, dressed in a gorgeous costume, with rings on all ten of his fingers...... At first glance, he belongs to that kind of nouveau riche, but there is a shrewd glint in his small eyes.
At this time, it is called Roland Wasteland, about 10,000 miles away from the Forest of the Dead, this place is still a paradise for the undead, but there are also some cities established by other races in the surrounding area, and between these cities, some trade routes have been formed over time, and this convoy is a caravan that frequently travels between major cities.
The Yunlu Merchant House is very famous in the entire undead plane. They are also Terrans, just like the Terrans of the wizarding world, and even their language and writing are also from the wizarding world...... However, it is quite ancient, and few people use those languages and scripts except for some ancient nobles and wizards who have a long tradition.
Because the Terrans here are running around all year round, their strength is usually very strong, and their bodies are even stronger.
The merchants of the Yunlu Chamber of Commerce are known as Xiaoqiang of the undead plane, and wherever there is wealth, there will be there, even if it is the lair of the lich, the lair of the undead black dragon. Creatures of other races maliciously mock their belief in the Grim Reaper's treasurer, and they regard this title as their own glory.
Merlin had been teleported to the Roland Wilderness two days earlier, and she was unfamiliar with this kind of place, but she was lucky enough to meet the convoy of the Yunlu Merchant House after a day of wandering in the wilderness, and after paying the price of a hundred magic stones, she joined the convoy as she wished.
As a wizard, Merlin was still very popular, and although the other wizards in the caravan were a little hostile to the young witch's arrival, the owner of the caravan was happy...... The younger Mei Lin is, the more she shows that she has great potential and her strength should not be weak, and as a businessman, what she is best at is investment. And at this stage, it is only an observation, and it is still far from investment.
As for the caravan owner's plans, Merlin knew it, and she didn't mind...... In fact, to a certain extent, being able to be calculated by others is also a manifestation of its own value, as for the specific means...... What needs to be carefully considered is that the owner of the Chamber of Commerce, the wizard is not the most shrewd businessman, but the most shrewd businessman does not dare to fool the wizard.
The caravan people didn't know that Merlin was from the wizarding world, and Merlin pretended to be arrogant...... Fortunately, most wizards were like this, and it didn't arouse the suspicion of the caravans, and she used this to eavesdrop on the conversations of the people next to her and learn about the environment of the human settlement.
On the fourth day of her journey with the caravan, Merlin began to encounter groups of terrans, as well as hill dwarves, gnomes, orcs, and even some low-level demons and skeletons...... The highest rank was a lich who scared the boss to the point of urinating, but luckily the lich was in a hurry and didn't take the caravan seriously.
It is said that in the places where humans live, there are also many undead creatures living, and they can basically do each other without committing any crimes, which is also a spectacle, and Merlin can be regarded as an eye-opener.
It turned out that there was a place called Bolan City nearby, and it seemed that there was going to be a big war, and a battlefield was going to break out between the two lords, so many people avoided the wind and went on the road together.
War on the Undead Plane?
Merlin was a little eager to try it out...... Considering that there was no interest to speak of, Merlin still gave up this tempting idea.
Of course, there were many people, and occasionally some clashes broke out, but after all, there was no large-scale bloodshed, all living beings were busy fleeing for their lives, even the caravans were speeding up, and many small businesses were abandoned.
Thundered!
Suddenly, there was a heavy sound of horses' hooves from a distance, and then a group of knights, riding corpse horses, galloped from a distance.
"That's the Storm Lord's elite team of Black Knights, this is going to be a big battle!?"
"Quick, get out of the way, the Black Knight won't bypass us. ”
Merlin's expression froze, the group of black knights was some distance away from the caravan's convoy, but it still caused quite a stir. The caravan was well trained, but the rest of the caravan was not so lucky, and after the death-like troop, there was a sound of cursing and weeping on the avenue, and thousands of undodging travelers were killed under the horses, and their limbs were trampled out of shape.
It took only two or three seconds for the team to leave everyone's sight and disappear at the end of the road, leaving a trail of blood in the place they passed.
"Compared to these black knights, the dark wizards I have seen are as kind as angels............"
Merlin looked at the gore everywhere. sighed softly...... She is not pitying those dead lives, but she has strengthened her belief in becoming stronger!
She stood in the middle of the team of the Yunlu Firm, and the servants of the several firms around her were dumbfounded, but also had some joy for the rest of her life...... If they hadn't responded in time, I'm afraid they would have been one of those corpses by now.
"It's a good thing I didn't go to Bolan City, otherwise we wouldn't have been spared the war. One of the caravan guards patted his chest, he was not tall, no more than Merlin's shoulders, his face was full of beard, and he carried a battle axe on his shoulder, almost as tall as him.
These are the Hill Dwarves, who are not as skilled at crafting weapons and prospecting for mines as their fellow Forest Dwarves, but they are very capable of fighting and are very responsible...... That is, as long as you can afford it, you can hire them as bodyguards.
"Every time the Black Knight Brigade is dispatched, it is a big battle. However, I guess the target this time is Bolan City. However, even if it is the Storm Lord, he doesn't dare to directly send knights to attack the city, right?, and this is not a whole brigade of black knights......" The dwarf talked eloquently to his companion next to him, it was obvious that he was relatively old, and he had a lot of experience in following the caravan from south to north.
Merlin was also listening.
The Black Knights are a very important part of the Storm Lord's command, and they are responsible for punishment and destruction. Extremely loyal to the Storm Lord.
They are evil, and what they do does not have to consider their conscience at all, and the more evil Black Knights will degenerate into the Knights of Hell.
Life is nothing in their eyes, and everything is done to help the Storm Lord eradicate his rival forces.
