309 That's how a study tour should be
The two magic apprentices came back with a relieved and refreshed look.
It's just that as soon as the two of them came back, Andonara rushed up, kicked one by one to the ground, and then kicked and cursed: "You two idiots, after getting off the carriage, you don't even do basic reconnaissance, what if there is an enemy in the grove?" ”
The two of them rolled on the ground, holding their heads and screaming, but in fact, Andona's lower leg was not heavy, and the two of them were just using this method to reduce the possibility of being beaten even worse.
Magic apprentices are also mages, and they are also clever and clever.
One of them rolled around and shouted, "Your Majesty, we're just going to relieve ourselves." ”
"It's hard to get rid of it." Hearing that someone dared to quibble, Andona pulled down a little harder: "Some insidious enemies like to take advantage of your urgency." Once you're attacked, you'll have to pee while holding your own words and fighting enemies, isn't it? ”
When they heard this, they were speechless.
If you were really attacked when you untie it, you must have even cowered into it, and what else would you have to do.
However, a few other people thought about it, and also felt that Andonara's words were very reasonable, what if there was really an enemy ambush?
Andonara kicked them casually and said, "You have no experience in traveling far at all, so do everything you can to create a safe environment for yourself, especially when you are still weak. ”
Andonara pointed to a few carriages and said, "Something like a carriage is actually a good defensive tool, and if you connect them in a row to form a half-circle, you can at least temporarily block attacks in one direction. ”
Jerry and his men immediately took a few coachmen and rearranged the carriage to form a semicircle.
"Find two people, use the mage's hand to sweep the grass that looks very thick, be careful, although it is unlikely that the enemy is hiding inside, but maybe they will sweep out poisonous snakes and other things."
Jerry immediately led people nearby to drive away the small animals and get rid of the poisonous insects.
"Leave one person to stand guard on the perimeter, and the others can eat."
Domingo, who had the best eyesight, went near the carriage, while the others began to eat.
Half an hour later, Jerry went to replace Domingo.
Roland and Andonara also ate casually, and the latter said with emotion while eating very gently: "When I was a mercenary a few years ago, the environment was not so good. With no escort and no adequate dry food and carriages, you are tired of walking, and you often can't fight in good condition, not to mention that your teammates may be your enemies. ”
Roland was tempted to ask why his teammates were enemies too, but when he saw Andonara's charming face, he suddenly understood a lot.
"So you stopped being a mercenary?"
"Because I cut off three of my teammates' arms and cut off two of them, no mercenary team dared to let me join them." Andonara showed a sneer: "I was also hit by an aphrodisiac once, it was a ghost made by my teammates who I trusted a lot, if it weren't for my special physique, I would really suffer." Sometimes the human heart is really much more terrible than the beast. ”
Roland really didn't expect that Andonara had encountered so many things before.
Soon everyone was full, and the coachman began to take the hay from the wagons and began to feed the horses.
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves could be faintly heard in the distance.
The first to react was Andonara. Her hand was already on the hilt of her sword.
Then came Roland, who threw down three magic spiders, who made their way through the carriage at breakneck speed to the side of the road, and then sprang in the direction the horse's hooves were turning.
After a few seconds, Roland's expression became serious, and he whispered in Andonara's ear, "Be careful, I see fourteen people, seven of whom have been photographed in the Mercenary Guild. ”
"The sound of horses' hooves is so hurried, they are in a hurry, they shouldn't be coming for us." Andonara took the initiative to put her ear closer to Roland's lips, and at the same time smiled at the corner of her mouth, "But you still have to be careful." ”
Roland leaned back slightly, and nodded at the same time.
The two of them finished talking, and they were ready to respond, and then the magic apprentices heard the sound of horses' hooves.
At the same time, they didn't react much, just curiously cast their eyes to the place where the sound of horses' hooves came from.
Seeing this scene, Andonara scolded angrily: "Give me to be smart, don't be stunned, prepare for defense, what if it's the enemy?" ”
Could it also be an enemy?
The magic apprentices were stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and summoned the mage's hand.
The Mage's Hand, and its derivatives, are now standard magic for the apprentices of the Magic Tower in Delbon.
It can be used to carry things, it can be used as a digging tool, it can be used as a weapon to attack, and most importantly...... The mana cost is low, and even they can be summoned for a long time.
Soon the sound of horses' hooves came close, and on the loess avenue in the distance, a black spot and a streak of dust and smoke approached at a very fast speed.
When the horse is galloping, there is a sense of speed oppression, and if more than a dozen horses are running fast together, there will be a sense of shock after the heavy road sound is generated.
Closer, they could already see the riders galloping by, all armed and wearing leather armor.
It's murderous when you look at it.
The faces of several magic apprentices changed slightly.
Vivien even slowly retreated in the direction where Roland was.
She's still a girl after all.
Is it an enemy, or is it just passing by?
The mood of the magic apprentices grew more and more intense.
Soon, a dozen or so people rode to the main road opposite them...... A few people cast their eyes over, but none of the riders stopped, they seemed to be on guard for something, and then quickly skimmed over the area.
Looking at the dozen or so riders who were quickly moving away, and then seeing their figures hidden by the dust and smoke raised, everyone except Roland and Andonara breathed a sigh of relief.
Roland told them to rest for a while, then said, "Let's go on." ”
The convoy is back on the road.
If it was just silence and boredom before, now the mood of the magic apprentices is starting to get a little nervous.
After all, the group of riders just now gave them a lot of excitement...... If those people were enemies, and there was no President and Her Majesty Queen Andonara, what would they do, and what would happen to them?
They're all thinking about it.
And for those who travel far away, the difficulties are not only fierce beasts, poisonous insects, robbers and ruffians, but also another great enemy.
Changeable weather.
Less than two hours after the carriage continued to move forward, a sudden and violent mountain rain stopped the convoy in a small forest.
Although the trees can shelter from some rain, there are still a lot of raindrops dripping from the leaves.
And seeing that the amount of water that can be stored in the canopy and leaves is almost to the limit, it will not take two or three minutes, and the amount of water under the canopy will not be much worse than the outside.
Roland used the technique of masonry to build a large pavilion with a rocky floor.
He and Andonara sat in the stone pavilion to hide from the rain, and the six coachmen also took refuge after dressing their horses in the robes they had prepared.
But six apprentices were turned away.
In the gloomy woods, Roland raised a ball of illumination, looked at the six apprentices whose clothes were already getting wet, and said, "Now you have to learn how to shelter from the rain on your own, whether it is rain protection equipment prepared in advance or whimsy. ”
The six magic apprentices were all a little confused.
