Chapter 274: The Caravan Moves Forward
"The most important thing is that our employer, Mr. Lindemann personally agreed to his counter-......"
This sentence was whispered by Green to himself, but the muse in the distance was silently recited in his heart at the same time.
On his retina, images of Green and his men discussing things are clearly visible, and there is not the slightest secret to speak of.
It was as if the muse was watching a live broadcast, watching their discussions throughout the whole process.
And from the faint scan aura that spreads out, it can be seen that this is the work of the concept scan, so to speak, as long as the muse wants to, Illya and Elijah can even scan what food is being digested in their stomach pouches, and they don't know it at all!
Of course, the muse won't be so boring.
If it weren't for the temptation they found out about themselves, the Muses wouldn't want to pay attention to them at all!
Now the muse only wanted to follow the caravan and enter the cities of the Northlands before finding the horses to leave on his own, and for this he paid fifty gold coins to make the caravan owner, Mr. Lindemann, free up three places for him in a carriage.
There was no way to do it, because of the large number of caravans, the livestock in the mule and horse market in Yorktown had long been bought out, and for these caravans that had bought a large number of goods, no amount of livestock was enough, and the muse could not buy horses for transportation even if they had money, so it was the best choice to follow the caravan.
Although it was dawn, the camp was already full of people.
While the muses, Greene, and Lindeman, the travelers, the caravan guards, and the merchants had just woken up from their sleep, while washing, exercising, and eating breakfast, many caravan men were busy all the time.
The caravan men who got up early had to fetch water for the horses, cows, and camels, and then mix salt in the hay and feed them, and when the animals had recovered their strength, they could rest for their breakfast.
After breakfast, they had to deal with the chores of the caravan, such as carrying the caravan's goods, checking the condition of the vehicles, packing up the camping equipment, and so on.
It can be seen that most of the caravans in the entire camp are preparing to set off, at most, due to the difference in size and number of people, the speed is different, which also makes the whole camp extremely lively for a while.
The Muse found that the caravan he had joined was the fastest, and judging by the movements of the caravan mates, it would take at most half an hour to pack up and put the unloaded goods on top of five huge camels and nearly ten wagons and prepare to set off.
And from the small talk of the people around him, Muse also got a lot of useful information.
For example, he knew that the medium-sized caravan he joined was actually a bit famous in the entire Northland, trading between the North and the South all the year round, and the goods in his hands were always of the highest quality, and he had gathered a lot of wealth, so he could hire a whole team of adventurers to serve as a caravan guard.
For example, according to the gossip privately circulated by the caravan mates, the caravan's owner, Mr. Lindemann, was actually just a steward, and there was a mysterious person above him who was the real owner of the caravan, and some men had seen the mysterious man in the middle of the night.
Of course, this is all gossip, and people just listen to it anyway.
But when the muse heard the last gossip, he who was already sitting in the carriage suddenly went out and scanned the men and horses in the caravan, and then the expression on his face seemed to become a little thoughtful, and then he retracted his head very simply, and continued to close his eyes and meditate.
Soon, the sound of the whip swinging in the air rang out, as did the cries of cows, horses, and camels.
After packing up the camping equipment and carrying the goods, the whole caravan was up and running at a rapid pace, and the men climbed into the carts and began to drive the oxen, horses, and camels.
In the midst of a cacophony, the carriage in which the Muse was riding gradually moved, and from the various things that began to move outside the window, it was clear that the caravan was heading towards the outside of the camp.
The carriage was not comfortable, and the feeling of jolting kept coming from the hard seats, and every now and then there was a violent shaking.
In fact, the carriage had been used as a wagon a day before, and now it was just a matter of distributing half of the space in the carriage evenly among the other places, and then giving half of the space to the Muses.
And with the whole caravan full of goods, Mr. Lindemann was able to free up these places for the Muses and his party, and of course the fifty shining gold coins played a considerable role in it.
At this time, Lu sat next to the muse, his whole body seemed to lean against him, while Luden sat opposite the muse with a straight-edged knife tightly wrapped in strips of cloth, and continued to meditate silently.
As the entire caravan left the camp, a flag was also raised in the air, and the pattern tattooed on it looked a little strange, showing that the full moon was the background, but in the center of the silver-white full moon was a narrow and sharp black vertical pupil......
But the people seemed to be surprised, and they saw many strange flags of all kinds, each according to the preference of the owner of the caravan.
Ahead, the caravan guards had already begun to ride their horses, and at least the Muse had seen the Northlanders of the three adventurer teams riding their horses to the front of the caravan.
The job of the caravan guards is not simply to follow the caravan, in fact, they are to some extent responsible for the work of scouts.
Whether there are any monster activities nearby, whether there will be robbers, whether they need to be diverted and detoured, and even whether the road is in good condition, whether the front can pass through the carriage and horses, whether to arrange for the men to clean the road in advance, etc., are all things that the caravan guards need to investigate.
Therefore, only experienced people among the adventurers can be qualified to guard the caravan.
Of course, the caravan's guards are not just ten people in this adventurer team, the caravan itself has a small team of about ten warrior professionals as guards, although the level is not high, generally about five professional levels, but they are familiar after all, and at this time they are even better than the people in the adventurer team.
As the road ahead became narrower, mudier, and finally even bumpy, the caravan became farther and farther away from Yorktown, and when it was ten kilometers away from Yorktown, it was into the wilderness!
The caravan escort is already fully operational.
Some of the guards scattered around on horseback, some began to check the road ahead, and some began to scout the surrounding environment.
