The howling northeast wind changed direction in the middle of the night to a southeasterly wind.
On the second day, the sky was blue, and in the cloudless sky, the sun was shining and hanging above the sky, and the snowflakes of goose feathers and heavy snow had long stopped.
Merlin slowly opened his eyes, sat up and sat up, he scanned the surrounding situation, there were a lot fewer people inside the watchtower, less than half of yesterday at all, only about one-third of the people were still entrenched in the watchtower, but even so they were busy at the moment, constantly packing up their things, these people who were not inside the watchtower, it was obvious that they had already left.
Merlin nodded at Borg, who was sitting upright and kept conscious, even if there were soldiers with weapons inside the watchtower, but in order to prevent accidents, Merlin and the rest of the others still arranged someone to be in charge of guarding.
Crunch, the door of the watchtower was pushed open, Merlin looked at the snow-white world outside, compared with yesterday, the road is much easier to walk now, the temperature in the winter of the Lordaeron continent is not too low, there is very little snow in winter, this heavy snow is a rare bad weather in the Lordaeron continent for decades, after this cold snap swept by, the sky began to clear, and the snow on the ground began to melt when the sun came up.
The snow on the road has melted, many caravans have left in a hurry, for them, time is money, yesterday has been delayed for a day, today dare not have any delay.
Standing at the gate of the watchtower and watching the scenery outside, there was already another caravan leaving the watchtower, many guards wearing heavy clothes, they pushed the carriage, slowly leaving towards the west, Merlin's eyes looked at the caravan everyone, and finally stopped at one person, this is a man in his thirties, he is not old, this one is in the prime of life, but the color of the man's face makes him look a little old.
The thick beard covered his mouth, a blond hair and a body that was not burly, ordinary, such a person was extremely ordinary, this was a public face, if it was placed in a pile of people, it would definitely belong to the appearance that could not be found.
And he was the only official professional Merlin had seen yesterday.
The other party is mixed in this caravan, following the caravan has slowly left the watchtower, Merlin retracted his gaze, he slowly walked back to the watchtower, with Merlin's awakening, Mina and the others have been awake, just Merlin got up to make a movement to make Mina and others wake up, at this moment Mina and several people are preparing food, Merlin came back to sit down, he picked up a piece of bread prepared, and spoke directly; "It's sunny outside,"
"The snow is melting, there are quite a few caravans leaving, they have pressed out a road, we can continue our journey after we have eaten,"
"Okay," Mina said with a nod of approval.
Mina rarely objected to Merlin's proposal.
After eating, everyone got into the carriage, Merlin and his group only had one carriage, there were not many people, counting all the guards, there were only five people, one carriage was enough, Merlin and Mina were not delicate lords, it was necessary to have a carriage per person, and outsiders were not allowed to be in the carriage at all.
The carriage was moving slowly, not very fast, and in their field of vision, a caravan could be seen rushing ahead.
In the carriage, Merlin quietly looked at the book in his hand, the book he was holding now was an alchemy book, Merlin The alchemy recipes he collected in the primary magic academy were not too many, there were only thirteen alchemy formulas, all of which were common among the primary alchemy potion formulas, such as increasing agility and strength and physical strength, and mental power was not nothing, but it was very rare.
The thirteen recipes were all the same, and the truly valuable alchemy recipes, such as the potion recipe that could increase anger and mana, Merlin had not collected at all.
Time passed slowly, the various caravans not far apart, as they continued to advance, the gap began to open between each other, and many caravans have changed their direction, they went to different destinations, the sky gradually began to darken, Merlin and his party, has begun to build a small camp around the carriage, but basically in the carriage to rest, the carriage has been specially treated, the inside is not very cold, but it is not hot, compared with the guard tower.
After a night of silence, Merlin and the others, after eating something the next day, began to continue on their way.
While hurrying, while watching the alchemy book, time flies very fast, a few days have passed in a blink of an eye, Merlin and they have come to the Burning Wood Village, this is not the territory of the Lordaeron Kingdom, it is the territory of the Kingdom of Gilneis, this is not a big village, and it is not a small village, here Merlin and Mina parted ways, and the two sides went to different places,
Mina is on her way to the kingdom of Gilneis, while Merlin is on her way to the kingdom of Lordaeron.
Standing at the head of the Burning Wood Village, Merlin looked south, and could see the direction of the royal capital of the Kingdom of Gilneys, there was a huge project being built, Merlin looked at it, and just in time he could see a dense crowd of figures were busy, this was the Wall of Greymane, Merlin's lips squirmed, and he muttered to himself.
The Wall of Greymane is a big project, the gold coins consumed are in units of 10,000, this is a project that can only be built by the power of the whole country, thinking of the appearance of the Wall of Greymane described in the light brain, Merlin sighed again and again, such a majestic Wall of Greymane, it really cost tens of thousands of dollars to build, but in the end it had little effect, and it had completely drained the treasury of the Kingdom of Ben Gilneis, cut off internal and external contacts, and closed the country, which had been proven in the previous life, this was just self-destruction.
If this money was enough to arm an elite legion, Gilneth would not be so weak in the face of future crises, and after sending Mina away, Merlin and his party were only him and Borg, and the two no longer rode in a carriage, but changed horses, and galloped all the way to King Lordaeron, and on the way Merlin saw a caravan, which he recognized as one of the same South Point watchtowers as him.
Merlin, who had crossed the caravan and continued on his way, suddenly looked in a certain direction at the moment of staggering.
