Volume 2 Chapter 57 Before Departure
In the end, the carriage to the tundra was a total of sixteen carriages, and Shi Leiyin and the others did not become the fourth luxury carriage as the ticket seller said, but became the third carriage, because the previous carriage was not packed out, so it was directly moved. Behind their carriages were ten ordinary carriages for people and three carriages for goods and food.
Tong Guò placed the doppelganger outside, Shi Leiyin roughly knew the composition of the passengers this time. Sitting in the first luxury carriage should be a nobleman, in addition to the personal maid, there are also two samurai with at least ten levels of strength, although the rank is unknown, but from the perspective of momentum, it is definitely an elite figure in the army. The aristocratic quartet came a little later than Shi Leiyin and the others, and they also stayed in the carriage, except that two samurai, one sitting at the door and the other on the roof. According to Shi Leiyin's analysis, either this nobleman is very afraid of death, or he has a very important task, but looking at his fat body and the abnormal vibration of the carriage at night, Shi Leiyin feels that the former is more likely.
In the second carriage was a merchant, who seemed to be an old customer of the carriage and horse dealership, and it was not until the end of the carriage that he hurried with two men who looked like tents. Along the way, he greeted the various personnel of the carriage and horse shop, and ran to the second carriage with familiarity, and it can be known from the conversation of the personnel of the carriage and horse shop that it seems that the second carriage has been chartered for a long time, and the merchant is specially taken this road, and one of the freight carriages followed by is the merchant's goods.
The carriage in the back was more crowded, and even if Shi Leiyin had a clone listening outside, he couldn't figure out who was there at once. However, because he was idle in the carriage, Shi Leiyin simply listened from carriage to carriage. Five of the carriages belonged to a mercenary group. This so-called Snow Wolf Mercenary Group went to the Tundra Snow Field to hunt the special monsters there, so in addition to the thirty members, they also brought a batch of special props and rented half of the freight car, and Shi Leiyin's clone found that several guys in this mercenary group who were wrapped in cloaks seemed to be indigenous snow werewolves in the tundra and snow fields.
The other carriages were mostly made up of lone mercenaries, hunters, small merchants, or simply natives of the tundra. Shi Leiyin even heard that there were a few hunters and mercenaries in the carriages, and because they were both planning to go hunting in the tundra, they simply decided to go together.
The personnel in the last two carriages made Shi Leiyin a little vigilant. One is that they all paid for the carriage separately, but they invariably went to one of the last two carriages. Although they don't seem to know each other, from the perspective of Shi Leiyin's clone, it can be found that they have eye contact with each other. The second is that these twelve people are all warriors, but they are obviously not mercenaries, and the mercenaries in the other carriages, whether they are groups or lone rangers, carry weapons and equipment that are relatively messy, but basically they all have mercenary fixed equipment such as skinning knives and insect repellent medicines. And these twelve people, all carrying long swords, carried a bag that should have been filled with dry food in one hand, and did not have any other equipment. Since these people didn't say a word after getting into the car, Shi Leiyin had no way of knowing what their purpose was. In the end, he simply let the clone absorb to the bottom of one of the carriages, hoping to confirm that the other party was not the kind of situation he feared.
The camel beasts in charge of pulling the cart were six long-haired cow monsters, a bit like yaks on the earth, but they were much larger, and the two were side by side, wider than a luxury carriage. The members of the carriage and horse shop who were in charge of driving the car were also warriors, and in Shi Leiyin's eyes, although they were weaker than the nobles' guards, their strength would not be too different. There were four members of the carriage, two of whom sat on the front wheel, and the remaining two went to the last carriage where the food was stored, and were supposed to be responsible for safety in addition to driving the carriage. There are two connections between the carriages of the carriage, which is a kind of card slot design that is very close to that between modern train cars, but in order to ensure that it does not disengage due to vibrations during the journey, the docking and disassembling of the card slots need to be carried out with special tools. In addition to the two connections, there are similar fixing buckles on both sides of the outside of the carriage, Shi Leiyin analyzed that this is used to keep the carriage and the carriage straight after entering the gap, and the long iron bar used to fix is finger thick and five finger wide, which is enough to deal with the simple offset problem of the carriage.
Just as the carriage was about to depart, Shi Leiyin's doppelganger spotted a man hidden under a cloak, hurried over, and pulled the members of the carriage and horse dealer who were in charge of selling tickets to ask for a seat in an ordinary car. Since the carriages were no longer sold after the last few carriages had been attached, it was a coincidence that all the carriages were full. In addition, the man in the cloak only took out a few extra silver coins, and the member of the carriage and horse shop only lightly told the other party that he should wait for the next shift in seven days, and he would be indifferent no matter how much the other party wanted.
Just when the cloaked man was about to knock on the doors of other carriages to see if he could exchange money for a seat, Shi Leiyin's clone hiding under the carriage discovered the identity of the cloaked man. To be exact, Shi Leiyin discovered that the man in the cloak was the same elf tribesman he had found when he was outside with his clone. By the time the clone turned his gaze out of the carriage and noticed that some people were looking for someone or something along the road, Shi Leiyin was already sure that this goblin had probably been identified and planned to escape by relying on this carriage.
"Come here," Zilde opened the door and shouted at the elf clansman at Shi Leiyin's instructions, although he didn't know why Shi Leiyin wanted an outsider to enter the carriage, he believed that Shi Leiyin would not make a dangerous decision.
"Ahh Noting that Zilde was just a child, she also felt that it was much safer to be with Zird than to go to other carriages with a group of rude mercenaries. At the very least, a person with a child will always be easier to talk to. Without much hesitation, the elves followed Zilde into the carriage.
"Welcome, Miss Elf, can I know your name?" In the carriage, Shi Leiyin did not let Shui Jing and Jie Liya hide, and he did not put on a cloak himself, but only sent a greeting in the form of a slime.
