Chapter 3 The Far Eastern Prairie

"Andrew, you are now a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts, and your strength is already good. In a few days, the town will organize a group of people to go to the Far Eastern Prairie to trade with the northern barbarians, this time it is just a simple material transaction, there is no danger, you can go with me to see, it is also a kind of experience for you. ”

When Andrew heard this, he said happily: "That's great, I have long hoped to be able to go out and have a look, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity." ”

Janice was very worried: "Howard, Andrew is only eight years old, he is still too young, is it a little ...... for you to do this?"

Howard interrupted her: "Janice, don't you understand, Andrew is talented and has a heart far beyond ordinary people, he has the possibility of becoming a strong man, and he also has the heart to become a strong man!" We, as parents, should not bind him! If you want to become a strong person, you have to go through countless trainings, and I think he himself understands this! ”

Andrew nodded solemnly: "Dad is right, the brave are fearless, I want to be a strong man, I must face all kinds of tests!" ”

The words of father and son left Janice speechless, but they could not dispel her worries.

Ling'er ate a big meal, puffed out her cheeks and asked, "Is my brother going to face the test, Ling'er is going to go too!" At a young age, she didn't understand what the test was. However, her words eased the atmosphere at home a lot.

In the days that followed, Andrew was looking forward to making the trip sooner rather than later. Five days later, the team of more than 80 people was finally about to set off.

"Howard, is this your son? Good boy, he is so strong at the age of eight, I think he will surpass you in the future! As soon as he saw Howard and his son, a tall and thin middle-aged man in the team said loudly.

"Not bad, not bad." Many people on the side chimed in.

Howard smiled proudly, "Of course my son has to be taller than me." ”

Everyone laughed for a while, and it was clear that Howard's prestige in it was not low.

The team set off slowly, and on the edge of the town, Janice held Ling'er in her arms and watched the father and son go away. Ling'er's little face was full of tears: "Mom, where is my brother going, doesn't he want me?" ”

Janice had no choice but to comfort her: "Dad and brother just went out for a trip, and they will be back soon, go, mom will accompany you at home and wait for them." Didn't my brother say that he would bring gifts to Ling'er when he came back. ”

Not to mention the family, Andrew followed Howard in the team, carefully observing the surrounding situation. At the front of the procession, several warriors in iron armor rode horses, leading the procession.

"Dad, who are those? Isn't Maple Grove without nobility? Andrew couldn't help but ask, here, only nobles have horses and iron armor.

Howard shook his head and said, "They are not from Maple Grove Town, but the Frey family from White River City. The Freys are hereditary viscounts and rulers of White River City. ”

White River City? Andrew had heard that sixty or seventy miles west of the town, there was a hundred-meter-wide river called the White River, and on the edge of the White River, there was a city of considerable scale, named White River City.

"Hereditary viscount? So how did he get his eye on it? Andrew was even more confused. This team was put together by the residents of Maple Grove Town, and they were carrying some worthless things, how could they be favored by the nobles.

Howard smiled, "They're just with us, and nothing else. I guess even if there is a deal, it will be separate from us. This is not surprising either. The place we are going to this time is the Cree tribe on the edge of the Far Eastern steppe. Generally speaking, there is no danger here, but a little more people, there is always more strength. ”

Faced with Andrew's question, Howard took the trouble to explain.

The team moved forward slowly, and according to Andrew's estimate, it could walk two hundred miles in a day. Although everyone carried a lot of things, their speed was still not slow, because all of them were warriors above the third level, and their speed and endurance were not comparable to ordinary people.

"Howard, your son is really amazing, he has persevered all the way, I think he is at least a second-level warrior."

During the break, the tall and thin man came over again.

Howard took a sip of water and said with a smile: "Of course, I don't see whose son it is." Matthews, you're not as good as me at this point. ”

Matthews's face changed, and he snorted coldly: "In terms of strength, I won't lose to you, I really don't understand why Janice fell in love with you in the first place." ”

Andrew suddenly realized that this person was still his mother's suitor, and it was not surprising to think about it, Janice was such a big beauty, and it was strange that no one pursued her.

Howard smirked: "This is a matter of personal charm, and it has nothing to do with strength." Matthews, I warn you, don't beat Janice's idea, she's your sister-in-law now. Matthews listened, a little discouraged, and squatted aside without speaking.

It seems that the relationship between the two is not bad. Andrew said secretly.

Walking up to Matthews, Howard also squatted down: "After I married Janice, you left Maple Grove Town and came back not long ago. I don't know what happened to you outside, but I have some ...... in my heart."

"All right, Howard," Matthews interrupted, "I don't need to say that, we all know what happened back then. ”

As the two spoke, Andrew stood cautiously to the side, saying that he could not say anything good or bad to Matthews. But hearing that the other party had pursued Janice, Andrew became interested and carefully observed Matthews, but the result was a little surprised.

"This man is not a good man!" At the end of the day, Andrew came to a conclusion.

In Andrew's two lives, there are not a few people he has seen, and he also has some experience in looking at people. Before, in the conversation between Howard and Matthews, Howard was full of sincerity and kindness, but Matthews showed anger from time to time, that kind of vicious look Howard didn't notice, but Andrew saw it clearly. During the rest of the night, Andrew knocked on the side to inquire about Matthews's situation, and Howard did not hide it.

It turned out that this person, like Howard, was born in Maple Grove. The two have played and trained together since childhood, and their relationship is deep, and they are closer than brothers. Later, the beautiful Janice came to settle in Maple Grove Town, and the two fell in love with her at the same time, and in the end, Janice chose the honest and simple Howard, and Matthews felt that he had no face, so he left Maple Grove Town. It wasn't until recently that Matthews returned, and with him six warriors.

After listening to Howard's words, Andrew was even more worried that the other party might have other intentions when he came back this time. What worries him the most is that Matthews also brought six helpers with him. If he really has any evil intentions, how can his father and son deal with it!

After thinking about it, he still didn't tell Howard about his conjecture. Andrew could see that Howard and Matthews had a deep relationship, and if he did, he would definitely not believe it, but would blame himself. There is no other way but to be vigilant.

After nightfall, Howard quickly fell asleep, but Andrew sat quietly and meditated. In the past three years, he has spent a lot of time cultivating every day, and his strength has also improved by leaps and bounds. By now, his warrior level had reached the peak of the fourth level, and he was one step away from breaking through. An eight-year-old fifth-level warrior, what a genius!

In addition to being a warrior, Andrew's magic cultivation has also progressed rapidly. In just three years, he had become a third-level peak fire magician. The most important thing is that his spiritual power has reached the standard of a fourth-level magician at the moment, as long as the magic power is accumulated enough, it is a matter of course to advance to a fourth-level magician. According to his estimates, in four days, he will be able to become a fourth-level magician.

After a night of cultivation, in the morning, Andrew began to practice the Qi Accumulation Style again. Soon, the team set off again.

The Cree tribe is about three hundred miles away from Fenglin Town, and it will take half a day to arrive. Along the way, there was no danger, and he didn't even see a rabbit, and Andrew couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Howard looked at it and said, "Boy, this is not yet the Far Eastern Prairie, of course there is nothing. Fifty miles further on, there is the Far Eastern Prairie, although it is still on the edge, but the situation is very different, there are many magical beasts, and the danger has greatly increased. ”

I see! Andrew was also in high spirits and looking forward to the journey ahead.

Two hours later, the team arrived at the edge of the Far Eastern Prairie!

"It's worthy of the Far Eastern Prairie, it's really spectacular!"

The Far Eastern Prairie is extremely large, stretching for an unknown distance, and the area is even much larger than that of the Magnolia Empire. Moreover, this is not an endless plain, and there are many mountains and forests in the grassland, but on the whole, the grassland occupies more than 80%.

"Everyone be careful, you've entered the Far Eastern Prairie!" Soon, such shouts were heard from the front, and the atmosphere of the whole team became tense. Howard held the greatsword in his hand, and his left hand was equipped with a giant shield, and when Andrew saw it, he also took the greatsword off and held it in his hand.

"After entering the grassland, all kinds of demonic beasts will attack, especially underground, many demonic beasts are not of high level, but they are very toxic, you must be careful!" Howard instructed.

Andrew was faintly excited in his heart, and here, he was likely to start fighting for the first time in his life! He had been looking forward to this for a long time.

"Don't worry, Dad, I'm a fourth-level warrior and a third-level magician! The sapience of a mage is far superior to that of a warrior, and I am sure I can know in advance what danger there is. ”

Andrew was full of confidence, and at the same time kept an eye on the movements of Matthews and his group. At this moment, they also took out their weapons, and the seven of them were less than a hundred meters away from the father and son.
