Volume 1 Chapter 70 On the Road
The carriage was not fast, nor could it get up. On the one hand, horses are limited in their field of vision, and on the other hand, the road is difficult to walk in the wilderness, but the main reason is that the road cannot be moved too much in the wilderness.
Of the three carriages, only the one that led the way was Bertha's own, and the last two were temporarily requisitioned from the caravans of various families in Grey Curtain Town, and to this day, only the merchant family still supports the use of the carriage.
Thor was lying in the window of the carriage and soon noticed that even the wheels of the carriage had been treated with some kind of noise reduction to minimize the friction sound. It's not like those wooden wheelbarrows in the town, which start singing at the slightest push.
After entering the dark calendar, the knights did not dare to gallop their horses any longer, and the carriages lost their galloping demeanor, and the role of the horses was reduced to a very low level, except for the carts for carrying goods.
The heavily armed convoy lined the sides of the carriage, and no one spoke.
The whole team is equivalent to walking slowly in the wilderness, except that the people in the carriage have a carriage to walk.
The carriage in which Thor and Shogues were located was obviously not usually used for enjoyment, the interior of the carriage was ordinary, and there was a faint smell of the old smell of perennial loading of goods, and it was estimated that even the seats under them were temporarily added.
There were five people in the carriage in total, with two rows of seats, Thor and Shogues on one side and two men and a woman on the other.
There was still a lot of room between Thor and Shogues, but no one would come and sit down, and obviously no one wanted to sit with two orphans with no status.
Happy, Thor bent his legs and reflexively lay on his seat, elbowing the rusty window of the carriage, and the wind from the wilderness instantly filled the entire carriage.
The two men and a woman behind him frowned at the same time, but Thor didn't see it, and he didn't bother to look at it.
In fact, from the moment Thor and Shogues appeared in the team, the two of them had already experienced all kinds of expected glances such as disdain, indifference, and curiosity.
At that time, their strange backpacks were asked to be opened, and the captain of the guard in the team carefully examined the contents of their backpacks with a scrutinizing gaze, although he did not shake the contents of the backpack on the ground to look through them, but the other party's impatient eyes were not hidden at all.
Most of the other onlookers looked at them with contempt, believing that the Sols had slowed down the group, even though they were still in a state of preparation for departure when they arrived.
Thor and Shogues are very unrestrained, and if they can take a trip to the wilderness with escorts, everything is worth it, so let the malice come more violently.
In fact, although Saul and Shogues don't know these peers of different ages, they know Saul.
After all, Thor has gained a wave of fame through a duel, leaving everyone with the impression of being reckless and capable of fighting a good fight. As for Shogues, the insidious cunning of the thieves has long been on his head, although no one has really seen Shogues's sinister appearance for the time being.
However, for this team, they are only guests of the lord family, and if Bertha herself does not stand up and speak, it is naturally impossible for them to denounce Thor and the others according to their own likes and dislikes.
With his chin propped up on the window frame of the carriage, there was not much to see except for the weeds and shrubs in the limited field of vision slowly receding. There were no monsters glowing in the distance, and no flickering and strange eyes staring at them in the dark.
It was really a boring journey, without the slightest sense of passion and crisis of adventure, and Thor was faintly disappointed.
Of course, as for the possible fierce enemies in the wilderness, Thor and Xiugoth have discussed it very clearly. As long as there is no tight encirclement network for the enemy, the two are very sure that they can easily escape, and it is impossible to die, and if everyone dies, neither of them will die.
The two men and a woman on the other side were already caught up in the whispers of each other, and saw Thor retract his gaze from the car window, and Hughus, who had been lying there with his feet crossed, leaned in.
"How many did you bring?"
"All. Saul replied.
"Tsk... Tsk, are you going to buy Newtown short?" sighed Shogues.
It is definitely not enough to buy short, and it is difficult to say whether the purchasing power of sixty silver wolves will be enough at that time. Of course, it's up to Newtown to pique your interest, and hopefully not to disappoint you.
The first day was spent in small talk with Shogues, and then it was the most dangerous overnight stay.
The food on the road was provided by Miss Bertha's cook, because you can't start a fire, and the food is mostly dry food, and the taste is okay.
After a brief dinner, the lockers at the back of the carriage were opened, old tents were turned out, and Thor and Shogues were given one.
Because of the limitations of the speed of the team and the size of the guards, the children of each family did not have servants with them, and almost all of them followed the team alone.
However, for their families, who have been in business all year round, since they can stand up and support the façade of the family, they have more or less some experience in sleeping in the wilderness.
According to the experience of the people of this continent who have been fighting against darkness for many years, the survival items that people carry with them every time they enter the wilderness are almost reduced to the extreme.
The use of the tent is also very simple, the pole rope buckle and everything are ready-made, and Thor and Shogues have fixed the tent to the ground almost without even tying a knot.
The three carriages were roughly in a circle, with more than a dozen tents erected in the middle, each of which could accommodate two or three people. Twenty members of the guard stood in shifts of five outside the carriage to take care of all directions, and were on duty in four shifts until dawn.
Enough energy to better face the crisis, Thor was satisfied with such a guard, and quickly fell asleep with Sugues back to back.
Adventurers know that spending the night in the wilderness is always the most dangerous part, but in the end, it's luck and chance that play a role.
In the middle of the night, there seemed to be some movement in the procession, and Thor and Shogues were awakened at the same time, and many people came out of their tents to watch. However, fortunately, it was only a commotion of early warning, and there were no actual enemy attacks and clashes, and it seemed that it was just a false alarm.
Thor put his sword in his hand and fell into a deep sleep again.
The journey on the second day was no different from the first day, and when I thought about the next two or three days, I couldn't help but feel a little bored. After casually chatting with Shogues, Thor slowly lowered his head.
In fact, I wasn't too tired, but I slept a little alert in the second half of last night, and now I was in a fairly quiet environment, and the bumps in the carriage from time to time seemed to be very inspiring.
Thor gradually closed his eyes, and his head shook little by little with the shaking of the carriage.
I don't know how long it has been, but in a trance, it seems that someone has arched it hard with his elbow.
Thor instantly erupted, his hands bent behind his shoulders at the same time and drew his long sword.
"Click~" Space is limited, and the long sword slashes into the top of the wooden carriage above the window and jams.
"Goo~Goo"
The seats opposite had been replaced by two young girls, Ruina and another girl she didn't know.
Rianna was looking at Thor with wide eyes amused, and the other girl, perhaps because Thor was a little silly looking confused with his hands above his head at the moment, had already covered her mouth and laughed.
"Tom... Tom "There was a knocking sound on the wooden wall of the carriage, and it was clear that Thor's movement had alarmed the guards outside the carriage.
"Sorry, it's nothing, just now we had someone here who fell asleep and fell on the floor because of the jolt. Ruianna turned to the carriage and whispered an explanation.
Shogues duly introduced Saul:
"Damn it, what are you excited about being courteous like a gentleman to a beautiful lady? Miss Ruianna needs no introduction, next to her is Miss Chrissy, whose family is in the jewelry business and is famous in the town. ”
"Oh. Thor shook the hilt of his sword, pulled it down, stuck it behind his back, and sat down.
"What are you, speak!" said Hughes, arching him again.
"What did you say?" Thor shook his still somewhat dazed head and looked at Shoggers blankly.
"Didn't you say that you've been obsessed with Miss Rayanna since the last duel, and that you'd love to find a chance to meet her and have something to say from her heart? Shogues had an angry look on his face.
Saul's face darkened, it seems that this guy Xiugus finally couldn't bear the boredom and started to have fun, and then he probably didn't find anything fun, so he directly used his friends for entertainment.
Rianna kept a quiet smile, and with her intelligence and close contact at the moment, it was already clear at a glance that Shogues should belong to the kind of character that was more out-of-the-box, while Thor was positioned as an honest and introverted and shy boy.
She was also a little curious in her heart, how this guy Sol would deal with the embarrassing situation in front of her next.
After a short period of silence.
"Hello, oh, you have a nice dog. Thor raised his hand and yawned, then added to Rianna.
I...... Rianna's smile stiffened for a moment, and she didn't expect it to be such a start.
"If you're referring to the hounds that my family guards bring, they're really a fine breed carefully selected from Hound Town, but I personally prefer cats. "With Ruianna's experience, no matter how abrupt the topic is, it doesn't bother.
"Cats are really good, dogs always like to express their emotions by barking, and they are a bit noisy after all. The cats are very quiet, like elegant ladies, oh, I personally have a few cats with different coat colors, but the little ones are very clingy. Thor answered.
Then the topic of Saul and Ruina slowly opened up from cats and dogs, and in the blink of an eye, they talked back and forth.
Seeing Saul with his elbows on the back of his chair and talking, Shogus looked shocked and his jaw fell directly to the ground. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to take revenge on Thor for making him ugly, hatred or something, as long as he casually turned over it in his past relationship, he could always make up for something.
Originally, Shogues expected that Thor might be at a loss, and his face would turn red like a loaf of water, but now......
What happened to Thor, the stone monster, and when did he fall?
It feels as ridiculous as a fat man who eats and sleeps with you all day long, and even has difficulty walking, suddenly flies up the wall in front of you.
How many cats do you have? Damn it, you can't even feed an earthworm in your leaky life!
