Chapter 4: Follow the Caravan

The so-called crossing is not everyone's dream. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoPerhaps only when you really experience it will you know that the good and peaceful life that you once hated is gone......

Tang Meng felt the rough bark rubbing against his skin through his clothes, and the rope tied very tightly on his body, which made Tang Meng very uncomfortable. But he couldn't break free on his own, and he had to wait and see what happened. Because there is a forest all around, and I don't know the way, I still want to see if I can go with this team.

"You're from the East, aren't you, but your costume is strange? My name is Eric Wood. Eric saw Tang Meng's indifference and dissatisfaction, so he said his name.

"Yes, I am from the Huaxia tribe. Tang Meng replied in a slower tone.

Cecia gave him the knowledge of this world, and although there are now countries in the Eastern Continent, there are also countless small tribes that cannot be named.

"The Huaxia tribe. Eric muttered before saying, "I can see that there is no evil in your eyes, and I'm sorry to treat you like this, but it's up to my employer to decide what to do with you." ”

"You're a mercenary, you're armed with light armor, and your weapon is only a short dagger at your waist, so you're a scout among mercenaries. Tang Meng calmly analyzed.

This amazed Eric at the young man's insight, and his knowledge of the mercenary group, it seemed that he was not from a savage tribe that knew nothing.

"Okay, please wait, I'll go and ask the employer to come. Maybe you'll be released soon. Eric turned and walked, he didn't really want to see Tang Meng's eyes, which seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

"Maybe it will be my death soon. Tang Meng said to the figure.

For people of unknown origin, although the leader of the caravan is not a soldier, he will also be extremely interested in his own interests, so it is completely possible to kill Tang Meng. But Tang Meng's voice came out, and the scout named Eric didn't look back.

"What a good mercenary. Tang Meng looked at Eric and praised with a steady pace. Then close your eyes and take a nap.

After a while, feeling the breath of a person, Tang Meng coldly opened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him, his profession didn't need to be guessed, he should be a businessman. Wearing a large cloak similar to that of the medieval nobles of Tang Meng's world, it looks like it is made of very precious silk. But the long cloak and the gorgeous clothes on him did not match very well, perhaps because he had a big belly, which made Tang Meng feel that he was a little funny at the moment.

The merchant looked at Tang Meng with great interest, he broke away from the maid's support, and walked in front of Tang Meng with a large number of small eyes bulging Tang Meng.

"I heard Eric say that you are from the Huaxia tribe of the Eastern Continent, but I don't know what your purpose is, for the sake of my precious goods, I need to know the purpose of your coming here. Kreel said in a deep voice.

"I'm here for no purpose, just to come here and see the scenery of the western continent of Gobrens. Tang Mengman replied wholeheartedly. It was as if he didn't see the large number of mercenaries standing behind the merchant at all.

"Dear Grand Merchant Kreel, I don't think he has any ill intentions, he is still young, I guess he just wants to find something to do. Eric said respectfully.

Kreel didn't speak, he stood there quietly looking at Tang Meng, and suddenly he asked Tang Meng: "The fabric of your clothes is very good, is there any name?"

"Yes, this is called compassion in our Chinese country. Tang Meng replied helplessly, his clothes were obviously common in the street and schools before, but they seemed to be very special in this continent, which could be said to be strange.

"There should be no bands of thieves near this mountain range, and I'm sure you're not a thief trying to take my goods. I wanted to ask, I let you go. So are you going to go it alone, or are you going to ...... Join us in this caravan?" Krier said, motioning for Eric to untie Tang Meng.

Tang Meng moved for a while, so that the blood circulation in the arm that had become numb after not exercising for a long time was accelerated, and he felt that the paralysis disappeared before he said calmly: "I don't have anything to do, so I'll join your caravan." Where are you going?"

"I and my lovely and precious goods are going to the royal capital. But if you join us, you have to do your part, do you know how to use weapons? Krell asked.

"I'm a sword-wielder, and my participation can help protect your cargo. Tang Meng said.

However, the other mercenaries laughed, because Tang Meng's body looked very thin, and his face was also very delicate. One has to doubt his strength. Immediately, Tang Meng felt the mockery, so his eyes lit up, and he swept over those mercenaries with his gaze, including Eric, who didn't speak. His eyes were as sharp as a sword, like the real eyes of a warrior, so the mercenaries fell silent for a while.

"You can question me, and you can challenge me with your sword. Just give me the same sword. Tang Meng's calm voice spread these words to the ears of every mercenary.

"All right, young man. I believe you are a swordsman. Claire patted Tang Meng on the shoulder, and then lowered his voice and said, "How can ordinary people cross the vast sea of East and West, let alone survive in the forest where demonic beasts are rampant. You did it, although I am curious that you chose this time to come to the continent of Gobles, but I don't ask, I hope you have no ill intentions, gods bless. ”

Facing the people behind him, Claire announced that Tang Meng had temporarily joined the caravan and asked Eric to take care of him, and then slowly walked away with the support of the maid. Eric wondered why this big businessman who cherished his time would waste so much time on this young man from the Eastern Continent. However, being able to cross the continent does show that this person has his own merits.

The mercenaries greeted Eric and went back to prepare their tents for the night. After all, although Tang Meng's previous words proved that he was a martial artist, they also made the mercenaries a little prejudiced against him.

"Then let's go. There are no extra tents left, you can sleep in a tent with me. Eric said.

Tang Meng answered and followed Eric, but his eyes were observing this other world. It's a desolate place, and tall trees defend the forest. The horses were tethered around the trees, gasping for air in their nostrils. The costumes of the people around are very different from those of the other world, the busy people prepare for the night, the caravan men and maids are busy preparing dinner, the pot on the campfire is steaming, and the meat in the pot is tumbling. The mercenaries had sat down and laughed together, telling adventure stories and street anecdotes, and occasionally laughing and drifting far away. until it was swallowed up by the night. With Tang Meng's ear, he could naturally hear their loud conversation.

"Bill, you don't know, I picked up a treasure in the Dragon's Cave last time. ”

"Bragging rights, you're going to have how many high-level adventurers died there. You're not as powerful as Nilte's wife, and you don't dare to speak. Hahaha. ”

"How dare you say that my wife, she is just a little taller than me, a little heavier than me?

"Don't make a fuss, I'm not kidding, really, I'm 。。。。。 ”

Tang Meng looked at the excitement of these mercenaries and thought of the long-lost interpersonal relationships. After all, I used to be alone, and now I feel nostalgic for my former classmates.

"This is where we rest. Eric turned back to Tang Meng and said.

The tent in front of me was really no better than the other mercenaries, or even rudimentary. Because the so-called tent is really only one tent overhead. This made Tang Meng feel that the merchant Claire was still not at ease with himself. Tang Meng felt ridiculous when he thought about it, was he really a little too unique in this world? In fact, he didn't know that when he was in N City, the whole school thought he was unique.

"You must be a little dissatisfied, but there is really no place to live, there are too many mercenaries following this trip. It's cool, and the bed is big, so you're going to get off. Eric said to Tang Meng.

"I'm afraid it's because you're a scout, it's empty on all sides to keep you in sight, and the pergola is furthest from the main camp. Tang Meng said lightly.

"I think you must be a man with a story, right? Eric asked thoughtlessly, and then said to himself, "You seem to be very young, but there are vicissitudes in your eyes." So smart and calm, you must not be an ordinary person. ”

Tang Meng's heart moved, and he looked at Eric seriously.

Eric smiled wryly and said, "It's right for young people to be wary, but I'm just an ordinary mercenary scout. ”

Tang Meng looked at Eric's face without the slightest contrivedness, and his expression relaxed.

"Can we make friends?" asked Eric. He suddenly felt that this young man was very much like his former self, full of wariness of the world, but he couldn't help but explore this cruel world.

Tang Meng silently looked at Eric's outstretched hand, or he thought too much, he still needed a guide in this world. So he took Eric's big hand, which was very warm and thick.

"Okay. I'm willing to make you a friend. For the first time in Goblez, I hope you can lead me. ”

Eric laughed and patted Tang Meng on the shoulder to show friendship, but Tang Meng was a little unaccustomed to such enthusiasm and rubbed his shoulder. So Tang Meng had his first friend in this world.

Later, when Eric became the leader of the Bloodrider Mercenary Regiment, the largest mercenary group in Gabris, he recalled the handshake and felt like a fate given to him by the gods. This is naturally a trivial matter for Tang Meng, an epic hero from China, but it is a handshake that affects his life.

"His hands are cold, but they are good for holding the hilt, because then his sword will always hit the throat of the demons. β€”Eric Wood
