Chapter 44: The Red Rock Coast

Thunder loomed in the gloomy grey sky, and a light rain covered the mountain peaks with a layer of mist. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The knights mobilized by Stormwind's orders stepped on neat steps, forming a silver armor wall in the fine rain, and the water droplets seeped into the gaps in the stone bricks, and the uniform silver knights were just right to block the way of the Chamber of Commerce convoy.

The Beast Carriage Avenue, which has some of the most famous chamber of commerce convoys, splits between Stormwind and the Red Rock Coast, with the former leading directly to Stormwind and the latter passing through the offshore area to reach Stormwind.

Due to the harsh climate and the notorious reputation of the Red Rock Thieves, no chamber of commerce was willing to take the latter detour to Stormwind, but the road ahead was blocked by the knights.

The neat and shiny knight's armor was definitely not something that thieves could reach, and the pattern on the shoulder armor also indicated their identity.

The Knights of Stormwind were ordered to block any convoy that wanted to pass through here.

"Damn, these stubborn knights."

Dejected, the rain-barring merchant turned and returned to his convoy.

"It's over, in this weather, the magic crystal is almost exhausted."

Another merchant held his head and began to complain.

Rain falls from the sky everywhere, and the convoy of important goods is guarded by a thin magic cover. In order to preserve the easily damaged goods, merchants purchased items and corresponding magic crystals from the high-end market, but because of the high cost of construction, magic crystals are not easy to preserve, and few merchants will buy more of them.

Merchants who already have experience in the business of coming and going will calculate the approximate number of magic crystals needed on the road, and will never buy too much.

Once the magic crystals were depleted, the rain invaded those important goods, and the merchants came and went, and the months of hard work were instantly wiped out.

They are facing a knight team that is unreasonable and only talks about orders, so the method of bribery will definitely not work.

"I have some small commodities here, but I have three magic crystals in my hand, and now they are sold for ten times the price, do any of you need them?"

The merchant who was determined to give up the goods and sell the magic crystal at a high price spoke out, and he could only try his best to reduce the loss.

The price of magic crystals is usually between 1 and 10 Astaire general silver coins, and now multiplied by 10, it is 1 to 10 Astaire general gold coins. There are still many small chambers of commerce here, so the faces of other businessmen are written with hesitation and thought.

However, for some large chambers of commerce, the deal is not a loss.

"Buy the magic crystal at ten times the price, and if you want to sell the magic crystal in your hand, all come to me!"

A young businessman with an extraordinary bearing opened his throat and looked relaxed, although there were many accidents, but the matter could still be solved.

"I'll pay eleven times the price." Another middle-aged businessman frowned, his voice was not loud, but it was unusually clear, "Mr. Hawthorn, the goods you transported this time are snow wolf skins, even if they are stained with some water, it will not be in the way, my goods will not be stained with a little water this time, please raise your noble hand." ”

There are not many small chambers of commerce that can afford to buy magic crystals, and if the young businessmen are allowed to collect all the magic crystals, then the middle-aged businessmen will have to secretly scream badly.

"But it's just 'out of the way', if you really get this rain, the profit will turn into a loss in an instant."

The young businessman made a distressed appearance and persuaded the middle-aged businessman to negotiate.

The merchants could turn their location into a battlefield in a few breaths, and Leo listened with relish, while Lindsay beside him was a little distressed.

"Mr. Leo, there aren't many reserves of magic crystals, so why do you insist on using them?"

As the top beast car in Strange Rock City, the interior is naturally equipped with a magic device corresponding to rainy days, but in addition to the magic crystal that was originally equipped, Leo and Lindsay have not purchased additional ones.

The magic barrier outside the beast cart is a little dim, and it is estimated that it will only last for a few more hours.

While there's still time, put away the magic barrier and wait until it really can't hold it anymore, it's not too late to open it, anyway, the box is not some valuable items, Lindsay thought.

"Well, there's always some reason..."

Leo smiled bitterly, he couldn't say that this was Iros, the stubbornness of the goddess of the moon.

She seemed to have a special aversion to the rainy days on the Red Rock Coast, and asked Leo to open the magic device, saying that she would let her maintain it if her magic was insufficient.

He didn't have much mana in reserve, and if the momentum continued, Iros probably wouldn't want to leave Leo.

The dispute between the chambers continued, and Leo looked at Lindsay, who was a little sleepy next to him, and decided to go the other way.

One after another, some small caravans were ready to change lanes and set off for the coastal area.

Leo looked up at the somewhat transparent magic barrier, the weather in the Storm Sea area changes from time to time, although it is light rain at this time, but it may turn into a torrential rain later, I don't know if this magic barrier can hold up.

He opened the map in his hand, and if he were to take the Red Rock Coast, it would be hours before he reached the wooded area, where there would be less rain.

If it weren't for Iros's willfulness, Leo couldn't help but think so, and then sneaked a glance at the goddess of the moon in the car.

She was meditating, a means of restoring her magic, when she opened her eyes as if she were aware of it.

"Don't worry, maintaining this most ordinary magical barrier is not a waste for me."

Instantly seeing through Leo's concern, Iros's ice-blue eyes widened.

Forget it, and set off on the journey, Leo turned his head quietly, and Lindsey suddenly understood, and drove the driving beast to change direction.

The silver torrent of knights remained motionless in the rain, watching the convoy in front of them fade away, their rain-washed helmets obscuring all expressions.

・・・

Only when you really walk the second road can you know how smooth the first road is.

As the rain accelerates, Leo's fears become a reality, and the light rain tends to change to heavy rain.

The road that passes through the seaside area of the Red Rock Coast runs through the three peaks where Stormwind is located, from rugged mountain roads to slippery slopes, and even the skilled Lindsay has suffered a lot.

Many of the convoys that traveled with them were left behind due to the heavy load, and Leo and the others unknowingly became the fastest forwarding existence.

Having been driving for a long time, Leo looked around them, and they were on the edge of the Red Rock Coast, a shallow stall.

On the left side of the wheel, you can see the high mountain peaks, and you can vaguely see the continuous green trees, under the car is the white gravel field, and on the right is the endless gray sea, which blends with the gray sky at the end. The stream that flowed from the other side of the rock passed through the huge pale dead wood, and brought up many fine splashes of water into the gray shoals on the right side of the wheel.

At the end of the gravel road, at the entrance to the dense jungle, a group of figures appeared.

"Huh?"

Leo raised an eyebrow, and something interesting happened. (To be continued.) )
