Chapter 8: The Banderru Caravan

After waving goodbye to Ellie, they continued to wander the street for a while, and after glancing at the time, the two of them turned around and walked towards the agreed meeting place outside the town.

As for the large pile of potion materials that I bought just now, along with the big backpack, they were all stored in Tong Xi's storage space.

Tong Xi has been using the red rope on her right hand since she was a child, and the storage space is only about one cubic meter, and there must be a lot of things to bring when she goes out this time, just a lot of things that Rare's father prepared for her, from clothes, shoes and socks to magic props, spare wands, to potion scrolls, and even dry food snacks, everything is definitely not stuffed in.

Prince Riel, who is both a father and a mother, of course, prepared a new space prop for his daughter, that is, at this time, the pink ribbon on the right side of Tong Xi's long hair was tied with a small braid, which looked like a light pink ribbon for a girl's ornament, and a bow was loosely tied on the side, hanging down the long milk-blond hair.

It is not cheap to make a space prop, and the larger the space, the more expensive the materials needed, and the average aristocratic family cannot afford to use space props.

But the space props themselves will not become strong because they are expensive, and the space props will also go bad.

Therefore, the general space props will be made into rings or necklaces and the like, first of all, hard rare minerals are used as carriers, and then this kind of jewelry is worn closely, which is less likely to be damaged in battle, but the bracelet on Tong Xi's body still has the ribbon at this time, and the carrier used is just ordinary silk thread!

However, the rich and willful Father Riel didn't feel distressed at all when he spent the money.

"Hmmm! Very good! Whenever she thinks of the loose bow that Daddy Rare half-squatted down when she went out, and the pampering smile on her face gently tied up on her head, the warm smile on Tong Xi's face can't help but deepen a lot.

……

Although the town of Batu is a small town, it is actually a market. It is only because the bustle and prosperity driven by the imperial capital has exceeded that of ordinary towns, so the Austin Empire classified it as a town, in fact, this Batu town does not even have a city wall.

Walking out of Batu Town, Bowen and the others had already arrived.

Seeing that Tong Xi and Andrea had also arrived, Bowen shook his head slightly, "Let's go." ”

Walk to one of the caravans in the distance.

The Eagle Mercenary Group is very easy to find, because the mercenaries in the caravan who are busy checking their equipment have Eagle as a mercenary group with the Eagle mark on their armor.

Seeing Berwen and the others coming, Captain Rooney, who had been directing the caravan to make a final inspection before departure, greeted him.

"It's ready, let's go." Captain Rooney pointed to a carriage in the middle of the convoy.

"There, our employer, the caravan owner, promised to let the magician sit in her carriage to rest along the way, and originally planned to let you two magicians sit in the wagon, but I didn't expect the boss to be so cheerful and offered to let you sit on it."

"The boss's carriage is much more comfortable than the wagon, with soft carpeted mattresses, and the wagon will inevitably smell of goods." Head Rooney added.

"After all, magicians are also a rare species among our mercenaries, and the top ten mercenary groups in the whole continent will have magicians, after all, ordinary magicians are not bad for money, and they are not very willing to run around with mercenaries."

"Our Eagle Mercenary Regiment can also enjoy the treatment of having a magician with the team." Rooney quipped.

As for the other members, the warriors were not so delicate, and either rode directly or sat in front of the wagon.

Tong Xi followed Rooney's instructions and took Xi'er's hand and walked to the carriage in the middle of the convoy.

The carriage was very large, no smaller than the wagons full of goods, and the unadorned façade made it look like a very ordinary carriage, a little large at best.

But even such an ordinary carriage is still conspicuous in the middle of a pile of wagons.

There was an opening on the side of the carriage, and there was a door above it, which was obviously the entrance, but at the bottom of the entrance was a very thoughtful movable wooden step.

Tong Xi stepped onto the steps and reached out and knocked on the car door.

"Hello, someone ......" but before she could finish speaking, the car door suddenly opened, and a pair of hands stretched out to pull her in.

"Uh......" Tong Xi looked at the person in front of him who suddenly picked him up and rubbed his cheeks violently.

"I told you! We'll see you again soon! Ai Li hugged Tong Xi and said while rubbing.

"Uh...... Can you put me down first......"

"Don't! No wonder that girl is holding you all the time! It feels so good...... "Ellie said.

The interior of the carriage was very large, like a small room, with a small cabinet for shoes at the doorway, and a soft stall on the floor inside the carriage, with a table in the center and two bookshelves on either side.

After the fight, Elle turned to the table and poured a cup of hot tea for Tong Xi and Xi'er.

"Okay, reacquaint, I'm the person in charge of the branch of the Banderlu caravan, and I would like to take care of me for the rest of the journey." Ellie laughed.

"You? Head? Responsible for such a large caravan? Ciel was surprised.

Although Xi'er is also a standard aristocratic lady who stays at home, she has to learn a lot of messy knowledge in the royal family, and the things taught in the enlightenment school within the royal family are very broad.

With the scale of the visual inspection just now, this is already a medium-sized caravan, a convoy of more than 20 horse-drawn carriages, to arrange and command a caravan of this size, which involves many things, including the purchase of goods on the car, the planning of the route, and the hiring of mercenaries, etc.

It's like hiring a mercenary, this is based on the estimation of how much risk there will be along the way to meet what level of enemies, and then decide what level of mercenary group to hire, the hired mercenary group is too strong, and the journey is calm, so of course there is no need to hire a high-level mercenary group at a high price.

On the contrary, the hired mercenary group is too weak to deal with the enemies that appear on the road, so the caravan will of course face both men and money.

This is only one aspect, it is not easy to go out and lead a caravan of considerable size.

"This is my family business, in fact, I don't like to lead caravans, I prefer to study pharmacy, but the study of pharmacy needs to go to all parts of the world, find pharmaceutical materials from all over the world, visit excellent pharmacists from all over the world, and increase knowledge."

"Studying pharmacy requires running all over the world, and leading a caravan also requires running all over the world, so there is no contradiction between the two, I just pursue my hobby while taking care of the family business."
