The next week was a rare vacation for Merlin. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Orondor is definitely a place to visit, and there are quite a few monuments near the city.

Since the establishment of this city, for thousands of years, it has been the most prosperous city on the grassland, and the accumulation of thousands of years has made every building here full of historical charm.

Near the port, there is a very charming beach, and although the season is a bit out of place, there are still quite a few people who are shipwrecked. To Merlin's surprise, the hotel where they stayed actually had a very luxurious yacht, which Boseman and others paid for...... Not just for fun, but also to investigate the area, they obtained several materials from the bottom of the sea that are very rare on land.

Other wizards have followers to help deal with some things, and Merlin's real handy one is Ingram, but this spirit puppet is not suitable for appearing in front of people, and Dania is by her side, which saves a lot of trouble, and from Dania's mouth, she also has a general understanding of all the affairs on the grassland.

In fact, although these assassin girls are said to be trained to assassinate enemies or protect their masters, their greatest role is to serve their masters...... It's a pity that their biggest use can't be used on Merlin's side, Merlin is not Lala, and she doesn't have the need for this, she devotes all her energy to exploring witchcraft. And this girl also has the ability to serve people, that is, cooking.

Many people think that wizards don't seem to be very picky about food, because they always spend more time studying various witchcraft and experiments, often staying in the laboratory for days, or even dozens of days, a nutritional potion can solve the body's needs, so in the eyes of many people, most wizards are people who have no interest in life and don't know how to enjoy it. But this view is absolutely wrong, wizards have a deep and essential understanding of this world, have a long life, although they dedicate most of their time and energy to the cause they love, but also leave enough time for themselves to experience the beauty of life. So Merlin didn't experiment in the past few days, but gave some guidance to Dania in martial arts and cooking...... In fact, the relationship between them is still a mercenary, which can be regarded as a temporary master and servant, and when Merlin leaves the grassland, the master-servant relationship will automatically end. But this does not prevent Merlin from receiving better service.

"Wizard Boseman, are you very carefree?" Merlin looked at the pair of sisters who were only fourteen or fifteen years old beside Boseman, and couldn't help but be a little speechless, these men were all these men who had ruined the good reputation of wizards.

"Don't worry, you won't make a mistake. Boseman pointed to a corner of the courtyard.

The mercenaries were unloading the crates from the ship and assembling a giant bed crossbow.

"Why?," Merlin asked, slightly surprised. She had guessed what those boxes were in, but she hadn't thought it was them, so she had this question.

"When you leave the port of Orodore, you will know that this is hell and heaven, you can get everything you want, and you can easily lose everything you have. Boseman said.

"Need to change your plans?" asked Merlin.

"Let me explore the way first, and we will go up the Liujin River according to the original plan, and I have hired a boat. Boseman said. Although the large ships they came in were intact, the large sea-going vessels could not enter the inland river basin, so they had to hire other small and medium-sized boats...... Walking by water is a little faster and more comfortable than walking through the grassland.

"And these heavy weapons, you plan to use them to arm the bodyguards you have hired, and you are not afraid that those bodyguards will want to make money?" asked Merlin.

"That's what they're worried about. "Poseiman has a lot of self-will.

"As far as I know, these steppe people are capricious people, and don't think that their fear of wizards is greater than their greed. Merlin warned.

Poseiman's heart moved, he found that he had indeed forgotten this most fundamental thing, with their ability, it was very simple to control these ordinary people, but there are always some accidents in the world, if you are not careful, it is really easy to suffer, at that time it was a joke.

"I'll take notice. Poseiman looked solemn, indicating that he had listened.

"What about the others?" asked Merlin casually.

"They were already on board first. ”

The Liujin River, known as the river of life of the steppe people, brings fertile soil with floods every year, and after the flood waters recede, the areas that were once flooded become the most productive farmland, and this river is also called the mother river for thousands of years.

Merlin and his party first went up the river, which would save a lot of time and effort, and they picked the four largest river transport ships, anyway, they had money, and the prices here were unusually cheap, and the rent of a ship, together with the sailors and the slender men on board, was only two hundred gold coins.

The hired steppe people originally carried their own weapons, but they had a variety of weapons, many of which were old weapons that had been eliminated from the army, and such weapons were already very good here, and many more were using inferior iron and bronze weapons.

According to Lahol's explanation, almost all of the entire grassland, except for His Majesty's direct guards, are equipped with such equipment, and even the government army uses whatever weapons they have.

The mercenaries hired by the Bosemen were already quite elite soldiers, so most of their weapons should be considered good, much better than the bandits in the dangerous areas they were going to.

The wizards all had a lot of idle weapons in their hands, so after some discussion, they simply re-armed the mercenaries...... Of course, they will not use the most powerful force, just cannon fodder.

The grassland was originally a land of mutual distrust, and the major races had divided this once beautiful place into pieces, and different tribes often fought with each other.

Although she had only been here for a short time, Merlin had already learned everything about it. And Poseiman had apparently heeded Merlin's warning, and he had arranged for the mercenaries he had brought from the Misty Continent to be supervised in groups, so that the steppe people would not be restless.

It's easy on the boat, but the really hard journey starts when you get ashore.

It is such a patchwork team, which has been working overnight for more than half a month, except for half an hour of rest for three meals a day, there is almost no pause.

The mercenaries were divided into three groups, one group was on the way, and the other two groups hid in the carriage and slept.

Boseman gave them ten carriages, which accounted for one-third of the total number of carriages he had prepared.

However, for those mercenaries, ten carriages were still a little less, but fortunately they were not very picky about the environment, and a dozen members were able to sleep unusually soundly in one carriage. (To be continued.) )
