Chapter VII Caravanserais

"Jingle ~ Jingle Bell ~" A pleasant bell rang out, and along with the bell was a long caravan.

Falling Dragon Fort is located at the northern tip of the continent, and the climate is extremely cold, even if it is not completely self-sufficient in food. In order to maintain the town's provisions, as well as the various items needed by the townspeople, some caravan trading was essential.

And with the size of the town, and the financial resources of the local lord, Viscount Cap, he did not have the ability to organize a caravan on his own--- of course, there was no need for that.

Every year about every two months, a caravan will come to the door and stay for a few days to organize transactions. This is true not only for Fallen Dragon Castle, but for most small towns throughout the Northlands Province.

The town is remote, but it's not too poor. As soon as it comes, it is close to the Warcraft Mountain Range, and if there are adventurers coming, the residents of various consumer towns will not be polite. In addition, although the local grain production is very low, it produces several medicinal herbs that must be grown in cold regions to thrive. So the townspeople can come up with some money to buy what they want.

Whenever a caravan arrives, it creates a lively bazaar-like scene.

"Good linen, three meters a gold coin!"

"The condiments from the Magnolia Empire are glowing after cooking."

"Honey honey! Sweet honey! ”

"The fine weapons created by the master refiners come in three styles: war knives, long swords and axes, which are most suitable for brave warriors."

Women are very fond of all kinds of household items, after all, most of the northland towns lack everything, is it to buy some cloth for children to make clothes? Or buy some condiments to make the food more delicious; And the men of the Falling Dragon Castle are more focused on the sophisticated weapons, the martial arts in the North are even worse than elsewhere, except for the cripples and children, any man in the Falling Dragon Castle is a first-class warrior, in fact, even the disability should not be underestimated. It is said that the lame old man Semo Wang, who lives in Falling Dragon Castle, is a very powerful warrior--- but the price of weapons is quite expensive, and an average high-quality war knife costs fifty or sixty gold coins----- except for the kind that is not much better than farm tools.

Andy, as the deputy captain of the Falling Dragon Castle Guard, a sixth-level warrior, does not need to pay attention to decency like some minor nobles in his usual life, so he naturally has a lot of spare money on hand.

"Linda, shall we buy a new weapon!" This usually very powerful man asked his wife very gently--- No, if he is not gentle, he doesn't have much private money.

His wife, who is usually very strict with Andy's drinking, has no objection, and she knows very well what a fine weapon means to a warrior.

While Andy and Linda are carefully selecting weapons stalls, their adopted son, Wright, is holding his sister Tina, and then going to another vendor.

It's not that the husband and wife are careless, although the young Tina is just four years old, and Wright is only eight years old, but Wright is young but very precocious, and many behaviors can catch up with fourteen or fifteen years old.

However, the only people who know about Wright's precocious maturity are some of the more familiar families in the Fallen Dragon Castle, at least nothing in the caravan.

"Little friend, uncle here's a book of fighting spirit left by a seventh-level powerhouse, as long as you have five gold coins!" A thin man who looked very obscene looked at Wright holding a few gold coins in his hand, and his eyes flashed with greed, and he deduced.

Wright: "Are all the crooks being so unsophisticated these days?" The Fighting Spirit Book left behind by a seventh-level warrior? Five gold coins? Wright sarcastically said mercilessly, "Why don't you say it's the cultivation notes of the powerhouse of the Holy Domain?" ”

Tina raised her head and innocently asked, "Brother, what is a liar?" Can you eat it? ”

"Liars can't eat it, Tina!" Wright said earnestly: "But Tina can't be a liar in the future, especially not a useless liar like this uncle"

"Hahaha~"

"Carter, this kid is really useless~"

Wright's words suddenly made some of the surrounding merchants and passers-by laugh, and some businessmen who were not used to seeing the thin man Carter laughed directly, and it was obvious that this Carter's status in the caravan was very low.

Carter, the skinny man, was flushed with anger, and his eyes seemed to burst out.

"Little bunny." Carter stretched out his arm and tried to pinch Wright.

A flash of sharpness flashed in Wright's eyes, and he pushed hard with his right hand, actually pushing Carter to the ground.

The surrounding merchants laughed even more.

Carter's power was smaller than he thought, and Wright understood why he was so looked down upon among businessmen, to paraphrase a phrase that was often said, 'A man who is not even a first-class soldier, he is not a man.'" Of course, Wright himself didn't reach the level of a first-class warrior, after all, he was still very young.

But that's the case, the strength of adults is much greater than that of Wright, and just now he just fell without checking for a while.

Seeing Carter's appearance, Wright felt a little worried, and he was just fine, but his sister Tina was also there, so he couldn't fight hard.

With a roll of his eyes, Wright suddenly shouted loudly: "Help, someone is going to kidnap a child." Help, someone's going to snatch a child! ”

The surrounding merchants were all stunned, and they all showed strange looks.

Carter's face changed dramatically.

After a while, several men in leather armor quickly arrived, led by 'Uncle Rofort', who often taught Wright and others.

After seeing Uncle Rofort, Wright felt more like seeing a loved one.

After 'figuring out what happened', Rofort was furious that Wright and Tina, the children of their own vice-captain, had been robbed of the Fallen Dragon Castle.

At the sound of the order, Carter was arrested and taken to the prison of Fallen Dragon Castle.

Empty left little Tina to look at her brother strangely: "Brother, didn't you say that you can't be a liar when you grow up!" ”

Wright: "... How am I going to get this back? ”

And dozens of meters away, in the shadow of the building, Jafar, another deputy captain of the Falling Dragon Castle's escort team, stood respectfully beside a black-robed man,

The black-robed man smiled hoarsely: "Jafar, I found that you children in Falling Dragon Castle are really smart, no, they are cunning!" ”

Jafar laughed and said, "Lord Deacon, this little guy is Andy's adopted son, and he is indeed extraordinary. ”

"You reminded me that he is the son of the 'Great Shield', do you want me to help you get rid of him?" The black-robed man looked at Jafar very strangely: "With your strength, I really doubt that you can be a good lord." ”

"My lord, I mean he can be cultivated, yes, it is worth cultivating."

"That's pretty much it!" The black-robed man smiled and said, "Okay, I won't stay long, so as not to be noticed by the Viscount, you also cultivate quickly, if you break through the seventh level, many things will fall into place." ”

"Yes, Lord Austin!"

Wright held Tina and looked at the front and back of the caravan, many things were very rare, which opened the eyes of Wright and Tina.

And what surprised Wright the most was a bald man who claimed to be a magic apprentice, and he played two fireballs superbly, which was very exciting.

In the eyes of others, this is a wonderful performance, but in Wright's eyes, there is a sense of a higher level. Wright seemed to see himself wave his hand, and a wave of flames burned his enemies to ashes.

That night, Andy and Linda bought their weapons and returned home, with their position in the escort, they naturally knew about the conflict between Wright and a certain liar, but they didn't say much, in fact, they thought it was normal, and what surprised them was Wright's words.

"Daddy, Mommy, I want a magician."

With these words, Andy stopped talking a little, looked at his wife Linda, and finally said that Linda spoke.

"Wright, did you see something today?"

Wright told his adoptive parents about the magician he saw and his feelings.

Adoptive father Andy poured cold water on him.

"Mages are not so easy to be, there may not be one in ten thousand people who is talented, and only one or two out of a hundred talented people can reach the sixth level of magician." Andy said slowly.

Linda said to her husband, "Although the status of a magician is far higher than that of a warrior of the same level, if the talent is low, the cultivation time is long and the consumption is large. ”

"Unless there is a strong talent, the path of magic is more difficult to follow than that of a warrior. Of course, if the talent is amazing, it will get a far higher status than the warrior. Andy said with a little seriousness: "I don't know about the legendary Sanctuary, but I know that a ninth-level mage is the emperor of the empire and has to be called a master respectfully, and a ninth-level warrior can only be the emperor's bodyguard." ”

"Every year in July and August, there will be a magic talent test in Lanfeng County, and there will be many people appointed by magic academies in the empire to recruit students, and if the talent is high, even if the tuition fee will be waived. Wright, you can participate, if you have talent, it is best to go to the magic academy to study, if you don't have talent, just honestly exercise the strength of the warrior, if you become a sixth-level warrior before you become an adult, I will find a way to send you to the warrior academy in the imperial capital. Although Andy usually seems to love (fear) his wife very much, he is the only one who makes decisions when it comes to major matters.

Hearing this, Wright nodded, and secretly made up his mind that he must become a magician.
