The purpose of the caravan is to make money, and the reason why they don't take the road of Stratholme is also very easy to explain, it is precisely because of the safety of the road from Stratholme to the Chapel of the Light's Wish, so there are more caravans coming and going, and there are many caravans, and in the end there is no benefit, like this path, which is more dangerous, so there are few caravans that can go, which makes the villages and towns along the road have a great demand for caravans, if the caravan takes this road, Finally, reach the Chapel of the Light's Wish, and you can earn a lot of money.
Merlin had to admit that this caravan still had a lot of ideas, and this Drew vice-Captain was obviously aware of all this.
Seeing the abrupt look on Merlin's face, Drew continued to preach directly; "To go this way, relying on the strength of the two gentlemen is insufficient,"
"We can provide shelter,"
"Okay," Merlin nodded in agreement, he didn't know the rules, they offered shelter, and Merlin had to hand over some money.
"A silver coin?"
"Two gentlemen, please?" As Borg took out the silver coin, Vice-Captain Drew smiled brighter, he waved his hand directly, and naturally walked two sturdy men, taking the reins of the horses from Merlin and Borg's hands, Captain Drew led Merlin and Borg to a tent that had been erected, which was sewn from some kind of animal skin and fixed to the ground with multiple wooden stakes.
Lifted the curtain of the tent, a hot air came from the surface, making people feel warm, the tent was extremely hot, a stove was being lit in the center, a chimney was smoking, the tent was very hot, there were a few people in the tent, Drew directly arranged Merlin and Borg in the tent.
Drew said to Merlin before leaving; "Today and tomorrow will stop at the three-way intersection for two days, and we will leave the day after tomorrow,"
The purpose of the caravan's stay at the three-way intersection is very simple, that is, to recruit more people like Merlin, which can not only increase the caravan's protective strength, but also earn some money, and at the same time provide convenience for Merlin and them, which is a win-win situation.
"Merlin?" A shout rang out.
The curtain was lifted, and from the outside came a young man, who was not very old, fourteen or fifteen years old, with a horsewhip in his hand, and strode into the tent.
"Raymond!" Merlin heard the scream, he raised his head, looked at the comer, and recognized at a glance the identity of a teenager who was one or two years older than him, the other party was able to meet Merlin, proving that the other party's identity was also a nobleman, and the situation was exactly like this, no, it should be said that it was much better than Merlin's situation, Merlin he did not have a title, although the old Merlin was a son of Merlin, and Merlin would definitely inherit the title of the old Merlin in the future, but in the end, Merlin has not inherited it yet, and Raymond is different, Raymond has inherited the title and became a baron.
"Congratulations uncle," Raymond said enthusiastically, and he grabbed Merlin's arm and began to talk to Merlin affectionately.
Raymond and Merlin are not really related, but they are both nobles, and the territories of both sides are close to each other, and they are destined to deal with each other often, such as Merlin They have to face the invasion of trolls, and Raymond is also facing the threat of trolls, so they often join forces to resist trolls, and naturally they will start to climb relationships, and the marriage of nobles is very serious, and they can basically be discussed if they want to climb the relationship.
"Raymond, you also just came back from the royal capital?"
Being able to know the news of Old Merlin proves that Raymond has also been in the royal capital for a while, and the transmission of news in the world of Azeroth, although it is not closed, but the speed of circulation is not very fast, and Raymond will not know such news if he is not in the royal capital.
"Yes," Raymond nodded.
Merlin and Raymond talked harmoniously together, old Merlin became the deputy head of the Knights of the Silver Hand Knights, Raymond naturally chose to be good friends with Merlin, there was an estrangement and strangeness between them that had not been seen for more than a year, and it had quickly faded away in the harmonious conversation, and the time of the day had passed quickly, and people began to arrive here one after another at the fork in the road.
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty people have been recruited by the caravan, among which Raymond has contributed the most among these more than twenty people, and his guards have taken up the general number of them, counting him There are a total of nine people before and after.
Raymond's strength alone is not weak, but for the sake of safety, Raymond still went with the caravan, but did not leave alone.
For example, Raymond has so many guards, and when he moves forward with the caravan, he doesn't need to pay money like Merlin at all, and the caravan's favorite is Raymond, after all, after really encountering danger, no one can be alone.
And Merlin he is also happy to see the appearance of Raymond, this caravan Merlin is very unfamiliar, there is no memory of this caravan in his memory, the caravan was formed in recent years, the caravan is very unfamiliar Merlin He is a little uneasy, the road is not an official road, the caravan walking back and forth is endless, if this caravan is doing a robbery, a bandit disguised, then Merlin They are sheep into the mouth of a tiger.
It's not that Merlin is suspicious, it's that he has to think about things at worst, and if it turns out he's careful, if it's dangerous, he needs to at least have the strength to resist.
Raymond's appearance made up for the shortcomings, even if this caravan was disguised by bandits, they were no longer at the mercy of slaughter, and he also had the power to resist.
Two days passed in a blink of an eye, the idle caravan began to get busy, the tents began to be slowly put away, the things that could be loaded into the carriage, the things that could not be taken away, directly looking for a place to store, they did not come only once at the fork in the road, this time after arriving at the Chapel of the Wish of Light, they would collect another batch of goods, and then start to return, for the merchants, what they had to do was to sell what was from the east to the west, and then sell the things from the west to the east, They repeated this action and began to earn the difference between the two sides.
After the caravan was organized, Merlin, Raymond and the others were at the back of the caravan, and with the neighing of horses, the shop began to slowly move forward along the path.
On the first day, there was no danger, it was the safest place near the official road, and the really difficult day was the third day, and the third day came quickly.
