Chapter Eighty-Nine: Sand Bandits
Several more fireballs flew by, drawing fiery red traces in the dim moonlight before falling into a dense crowd of jackals.
The sound of the popping was accompanied by a large burst of flames, like fireworks erupting in a crowd of jackals.
In the scorching firelight, the remaining gnolls scattered like a whirlwind of clouds.
In the caravan, everyone couldn't help cheering.
There was a powerful mystic in the caravan!, everyone thought excitedly.
And the powerful power of the spell also made the hearts of the merchants and many guards in the caravan feel very excited, and the smiles of peace of mind on everyone's faces were revealed.
Even the caravan leader, who was originally worried, had a little less worry in his heart.
Unexpectedly, it was just a spellcaster hired from the tavern on the spot to cover people's ears, and his level was not low.
Judging from the fireball that exploded just now, this mysterious spellcaster named Allen was at least mid-level.
The caravan leader had a lot of scheming in his mind......
Nothing was said all night.
The next morning, the orange-red morning sun rises over the horizon.
The caravan woke up from its slumber, and the cacophony of human voices suddenly filled the entire caravan camp.
Gu Cheng sat quietly in the caravan, digesting the many knowledge that Fang had just absorbed from Long Jing.
Ever since Gu Cheng obtained the dragon crystal that contained the inheritance information of the dragon clan, Gu Chengcheng had been constantly absorbing and digesting the knowledge contained in it.
Although it is said that because of the time problem and the fact that the inheritance knowledge in the dragon crystal is too large, Gu Cheng has not been able to do his full work so far, but these days, Gu Cheng's mysterious knowledge reserve has also been increasing geometrically.
The most obvious manifestation was that Gu Cheng had once again learned several practical spells from another world.
ββββββ
Moreover, after absorbing part of the dragon inheritance, Gu Cheng is now not only proficient in the lingua franca of many continents in the other world, but also extremely familiar with dragon language and elven language.
Under the sun, the caravan moved on.
The merchants and their servants in the caravan looked at the caravan in the middle of the procession with reverence and envy in their eyes.
Even the guards who circled the caravan as they approached the caravan couldn't help but slow down their horses and try not to make a sound.
It's a sign of respect for the strong.
The time slowly came to noon.
The destination is not far away.
When they stopped for dinner, the slightly relaxed merchants and guards talked about their upcoming destinations, and the atmosphere was quite lively for a while.
Under the influence of the atmosphere, the leader of the caravan also pulled Gu Cheng and began his high-minded talk.
"Alan, when we turn over the hills in front of us, we will see Moen Harbor, the largest port connecting the Western Desert with the outside world, from where countless goods are loaded onto ships every day and transported to all parts of the outside world. There's even a direct route to the CΓ΄te d'Azur. If only one day I could have a fleet of my own in Moln Harbor......"
The caravan leader was bogged down in assumptions about a bright future.
In the distance, the caravan leader's imagination was interrupted by the sound of horses' hooves.
A dusty scout rode his horse and panicked.
The leader of the caravan was about to get angry, but after seeing the identity of the person who came, his face suddenly became extremely serious.
The many small groups that were spontaneously gathered by the small businessmen who knew each other spontaneously also immediately pricked up their ears to listen
"What makes you so flustered?"
"My lord, no, there is a large group of sand bandits in front of you. The scout shouted.
Hearing this, the surrounding merchants suddenly rioted.
"How many bandits are there, and where are they at the moment?" the caravan leader asked hurriedly.
"There are a lot of them, and they are currently ......"
Before the scout could finish his sentence, an arrow burst through the air and landed on the scout's throat.
The massive impact of the arrow knocked the scout off his horse and slammed him to the ground.
"Poof".
It was the sound of the scout's corpse falling to the ground, just like the caravan leader's heart, sinking heavily into the deep ravine.
The sound of horses' hooves alarmed the entire caravan, and a large group of sand bandits rushed from the front of the caravan.
The sound of the horses' hooves shook the caravan, and the hearts of the people trembled with it.
When the sand bandits encountered the caravan vehicle, it was like a piece of butter cut by a hot knife, and the whole group was split in two, directly encircling the entire caravan.
The sand bandits, who had formed the caravan in three circles inside and out, slowly rode their horses, like a huge grinding disc that was slowly turning, about to completely grind the caravan in the middle.
The leader of the sand bandits rode his horse before the caravan.
The tall bandit wore a robe and hood and a scarf around his face.
The only thing on his face was the bridge of his nose and the deep eyebrows, which were enough to determine that the leader of the sand bandits with a sword at his waist was a typical westerner.
"Today is another good deal!" the leader of the bandits smiled, "I am a principled person, as long as you are obedient, then we will only take money and not kill people!"
The leader of the bandits continued: "Now let all the people in the vehicle come out and open the goods, and we will check them one by one. β
"Your Excellency," the leader of the caravan stepped forward, "we are a caravan formed by a group of small traders, all of whom are ordinary groceries for daily use, and they really can't stand the inspection of your lords. β
After a pause, the caravan leader took out a large bag of silver coins and handed it to the bandit leader.
A slap knocked the handed money bag to the ground, and the leader of the sand bandits looked inexplicable, "Since I said that I want to check them one by one, then whether it is the people or the goods in the car, I have to check them one by one, what, you want to teach me how to do things?"
With a wave of his hand, "Hurry up and let all the people in the car get off, we will now check the cargo situation of each car!"
"My lord!" the leader of the caravan was anxious, "There is also an intermediate spellcaster in our caravan, and it is no good for everyone to rush us, so it is better to take a step back, and the goods in the caravan will be taken by all the adults, and it will be regarded as the harvest of this trip, how about it?"
After promising to make up for the losses of the many small traders afterwards, the leader of the caravan suppressed the discontent of the many small traders behind him.
Afterwards, the leader of the caravan promised Gu Cheng in a low voice: "Honorable Lord Allen, if something goes wrong later, I still need your help, and the Istua family will definitely pay you a satisfactory reward afterwards." β
Hearing the name of the family said by the caravan leader, Gu Cheng's heart moved, and he remembered the extremely influential Flame Dragon Girl incident in his previous life, which should have happened a year later, but he didn't expect that there were already some preliminary clues now.
