Eventually, André negotiated a price of about 2,000 gold and two rubies before the gates opened, and bought the four demon horses.

The four demon-blooded horses are two pairs, two males and two females, one pure black, one jujube red and one pure white, which happens to be two pairs.

Their hooves are twice as large as ordinary horses, the bones in the middle of the meteor white spot between their eyes are slightly protruding, and their mane is much longer than that of other horses.

Some mercenaries nearby pointed, but Andrei ignored it, and felt a few bean-like things from his sleeve, and fed one to a horse, Athena couldn't help but run to a pure white stallion with joy, and with the help of Sheryl, easily climbed up.

I don't know if it's because Titi and William are there, the horse is very tame, and he doesn't resist the strange Athena on his back at all.

Lin An originally didn't plan to ride the magic horse, but when he passed by the pure black male horse, he was caught by the hood and took the initiative to arch to her, and the horse's hips intentionally or unintentionally pushed Lin An's original horse out.

Salin smiled: "This horse really has a vision, and he chose Ann." ”

Lin An touched the horse's head and felt quite kind, so he rode on the black horse.

Shiryl chose another white horse, and Andre was quick to grab the last red horse.

This female horse is contrary to the natural norm, always rubbing against Lin An's black horse, Lin An's black horse loves to ignore it, and occasionally pays attention to it, the red horse neighs happily, and leans over to please Lin An on the back of the black horse.

"It seems that these horses are meant to belong to you, and after buying them last night, although I asked a skilful groom to saddle them, I have not been able to ride them on their backs until now."

Thomson. Simon's eyes flashed with surprise, and he noticed the eyes of the horses. "Hey, why did the blood in their eyes fade so quickly? Oh, I see, it seems that I was playing tricks in front of all the mages before, so that Captain Andrei and you can see the joke! ”

"Mr. Simon is too modest, Mr. is not wrong about the attributes of the white fruit, we are also very surprised, could it be that Mr. Simon has a cultivator at home?" Salin asked curiously.

"Hehe, it's just because I ran some magic materials business in the Lower Merchant House." A hint of unnaturalness flashed across Simon's and son's faces. Simon said with a smile. Evaded Saleen's questioning.

Salin and Lin An glanced at each other.

At this time, the flow of people in the square moved slightly. Thomson. Simon breathed a sigh of relief. He said happily: "Ah, the gates of the city are opened!" ”

"Then let's go."

……

The temperature at the end of the harvest month is very cool, and even when the sun is at its peak, it is only warm and comfortable.

Pere by the sea. Especially in the south, there is basically no snow in winter, but it is rainy in spring and summer, which is very tiresome, and there is a lot of evergreen vegetation south of the Rocky Mountains, and the winter is not depressed, so the relatively dry autumn and winter are suitable for travel.

Since he was returning to his hometown to live for a long time, Simon's family moved a lot of things and went on the road together. In addition to the three carriages that sat on the people, there was a carriage behind it, which was piled up with a lot of luggage.

This was a little different from what Andre had originally negotiated, but for Mr. Simon's sake of selling them the Demon Blood Horse, Andrei didn't say anything. It's just that Salin knew what they had originally negotiated about the hiring content, and said:

"So, the move of Mr. Simon's family may have been decided on an ad hoc basis?"

"Seems to be."

"Did they get into trouble?" In connection with the sale of horses, Saleen has already sensed that Simon's family may have returned to their hometown.

"When the war started at the front, the merchants who were greedy for money and afraid of death did not stay in the safest imperial capital, but moved back to their hometown with their whole families, of course there was a problem," Andrei disagreed, "But what does it matter!" ”

Salin smiled casually, he didn't think that Simon's troubles would cause them to hinder, the reason why he got to the bottom of it was just inertia.

They used communication techniques when they spoke, and others could not hear what they were talking about, and the curtain of a carriage was lifted in a corner, and the people inside saw that the eight members of the mercenary group seemed to be loose, but in fact they were gathered around several carriages in an orderly manner, and nodded slightly.

"It's not up to me to sell those demon blood horses to them at a low price." Thomson. Simon lowered the curtain and said to Lady Simon.

"Honey, are they really that capable? The purchase price of those demon blood horses can make you lose nearly a thousand gold sephine. Mrs. Simon said.

"It's not wrong, just look at them without any spells, they can easily tame those demon blood horses, they are definitely not ordinary!"

Thomson. Simon suppressed his uneasiness and calmly comforted his wife, "And we can't help it, we can't change the hired guards temporarily, you know, we can't hire too many good people for the time being, if it's just ordinary people, there is almost no difference between them, but it will make those guys realize that we have noticed their plans, and then they may not even be able to use a fig leaf, and they will directly rob them - fortunately, the mercenary group we accidentally hired here is not ordinary people, maybe those guys will have some scruples about this." ”

Lady Simon's face turned pale, and she couldn't help clasping her hands in front of her chest and muttering prayers.

On the first day, I walked on the main official road, and there were a lot of people on the road, and there were basically no accidents.

Beginning on the second day, the caravan of pedestrians from the imperial capital was diverted, and the number of people encountered gradually decreased, and by the third day, the carriage procession had left the official road and entered the hilly area where pedestrians were rare, and the road was tortuous and twisted and turned.

After another break, the young Mr. Edward finally couldn't help but ask the question that he had been holding back for two days:

"Captain Andre, I have walked this road two or three times, and each time the hired escort will encounter some beasts, we have been in the hilly area for two days this time, and we have never seen a beast, I am worried that there will be any problems with this?"

Lin An and his party are quite dedicated, basically divided into two shifts to take care of the team, Edward doesn't have any opinions about them, but since they started on the road, their group of people has not even encountered a beast that rushes out of the road, and it is a little too leisurely.

"What you want to say in the past two days, this is it!" Andrei was amused, and Salin on the side had already caught up with his horse, and said with a smile, "Isn't it good that you haven't met a beast?" ”

"Of course it's not ......"

"Edward, come here!"

The curtains of the car windows were lifted, and Thomson. Simon called his son over, "The mages are so capable, don't make a fuss and disturb Captain Andre!" ”

The reprimand was faintly heard, as if it was intentionally heard by them, and Salin was slightly surprised, "This Mr. Simon is probably really in the magic materials business, and he knows quite a bit about the methods of mages. ”

In the last carriage, Lin An vaguely heard a few words blowing in the wind in front of him, ignored it, spread out an ancient book and read it slowly.

On her side, the quiet Miss Simon glanced at the ancient book in Lin An's hand a few times, and found that the strange and distorted unfamiliar font on it turned like a whirlpool after two more glances, making her feel nauseous and nauseous.

She hurriedly withdrew her gaze and covered her mouth with a handkerchief in her right hand, trying to forcibly suppress the vomiting.

"Most of the magic books are handwritten by mages, even if there is no guard against peeping into the spells, the spiritual power contained in the handwriting is unbearable for ordinary people with low mental power." A soft female voice sounded, and a small bottle of water with a faint scent of grass was brought to her, "Drink it quickly, it can ease a lot." ”

Miss Simon hurriedly drank the bottle of water, and the dull feeling of nausea in her chest dissipated.

"Thank you, thank you, Master Lin. I—I'm sorry just now......"

She muttered thanks to Lin An, thinking that she was caught red-handed by what she was peeping on, her face turned into a red cloth again, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Lin An.

"What happened to Sister Simon?"

Athena, who was asleep in the seat opposite, woke up just in time to hear what was going on behind them, and asked with her eyes rubbed.

"It's okay, Athena, get up when you wake up, Miss Simon, do you need to lie down and rest for a while?" Lin An was empathetic and knew that Miss Simon was embarrassed right now.

"No, no! Thank you, Venerable Lin......"

As Miss Simon was talking, Lin An's face moved slightly, "Well, it's time to camp, do you need to go down to breathe now?" Or do we wait until we've set up our tents and make dinner before we go down? ”

Miss Simon was a little moved, but then she heard some rough voices outside, and her face suddenly showed timidity, "I'll get out of the car later." ”

She watched Lin An nod at her, and took Athena down, envious of their independence and self-confidence, and sighed in a low voice: "Hey, if only I had a talent for magic......

Lin An didn't go far, vaguely heard Miss Simon's sigh, looked back at the car door, and suddenly heard a whistle in the direction of the campsite in front of him, and the laughter and applause of the man in the middle of the night was self-evident.

Lin An frowned slightly and looked towards the camp.

The roughly circular open space had been largely occupied by a group of mercenaries who had arrived first, and seven or eight large tents had been set up around the wagon, and four or five bonfires were outside, and the smell of broth was rising from the cauldron hanging from them, and about forty or fifty mercenaries and twenty or thirty caravan guards were mixed together, and there were many people.

By the campfire in a position, several mercenaries were the source of whistles and laughter, and the object of their whistle and teasing was Shiryl, who was leading the white horse, pointing and pointing, saying something "good horse", "really white", "really a beauty", but their eyes swept straight to Shiryl.

The mercenaries, who were making a fuss, didn't notice that a thin white line was stretching straight towards them at Shiryl's feet.
