Chapter 1 How to get around
The team of six people walked out of the city gate, and as they gradually walked away, the noisy support in the distance gradually disappeared, and even the walls of the imperial capital gradually disappeared from view.
As early as yesterday, after formulating the route, everyone had already discussed and decided how to go, after all, if there was no need to teleport the magic array, the whole distance was indeed a bit far.
"Alright, now that the route has been decided, we should discuss how to go there." Berwen opened the map again, and this map, in addition to the two red markers at the beginning and the end, had been connected by a red winding line, of course, the red curve was their approximate route.
"After all, the Austin Empire and the Nabakonir Empire are one on the east side of the continent and the other on the west side of the continent! We can't walk past, can we? Besides, there are magicians in our ranks, and they can't afford to walk too far. Bowen tilted his head in the direction of Tong Xi and Xi'er, signaling that there were two magician ladies in the team who couldn't go far.
"Humph!" Ciel snorted coldly, but was speechless.
"Oops...... I'm so embarrassed...... It's become a burden to everyone......" Tong Xi said with a smile.
"Who dares to say that we Xiaoxi are a burden! Direction! If you can't walk, won't it be over if I hold you? Wayne slapped his chest, looking like "wrapped around me".
"Hey, hey! How are you robbing me of my dialogue! Xiaoxi, I'll hug you! Andrea on the side was dissatisfied.
Brooke, who was on the side of "Ahem...... coughed loudly twice, alerting a few people next to him who were obviously off topic.
"Okay, if you have any proposals, just say it, don't beat around the bush." Brooke said, looking at Berwen.
Bowen raised his eyebrows, "Of course, you can see ......" Bowen pointed to the location on the map, after the starting point of the Austin Imperial Capital went out, about three miles.
"Here, there is a small town called Batu Town, which is said to be a small town, but it is actually a market. Its formation is actually because, of course, there will be a lot of caravans in the prosperous past of the Austin Imperial Capital, but the Imperial Capital is the core of our empire after all, heavily guarded, and the caravans and mercenary groups that carry weapons into the city must all be strictly inspected by the city guards, and there are still many restrictions, so the mercenary groups will generally escort the caravan to the gate of the imperial capital, and then camp outside the imperial capital without entering the city. Berwen explained.
"You mean, we join the mercenary group, or just form a mercenary group, and then borrow the caravan's carriage?" Wayne immediately reacted, for the civilian professions of mercenaries, the estimation of the presence was Vayne's most attribute.
"Then why don't we go on our own? Do you have to escort someone else to rub the car? It's not like we can't afford horses! Ciel wondered.
"Because following the mercenary group, you can avoid a lot of trouble." Wayne explained.
"First of all, we are just a few young people driving the carriage on the road by themselves, it is easy for people to think that the eldest lady and the eldest young master of which family threw off the bodyguard and went out to play in the mountains and rivers, the so-called not afraid of thieves and thieves are afraid of thieves, and it is very troublesome to be remembered."
"Second, the average mercenary group will have certain transactions with some large bands of thieves on the way, such as paying tolls or something. Following these mercenary groups can save you a lot of trouble. ”
"Third, perhaps, you can learn a lot from these 'lowest' mercenaries." Wayne laughed.
……
At this time, everyone was heading to the town of Batu, a few kilometers away.
As for the entire team, there is no visible figure of the bald teacher, Hutton......
It was when I first walked out of the city gates,
"Okay, I said I wouldn't care about you, you can go however you like......" Hutton yawned heavily,
"Ha~ah...... Wake up too early in the morning...... I'm going back to catch up on sleep. Hutton waved his hand at everyone like a fly, and then with a force under his feet, several ups and downs disappeared from everyone's field of vision.
"Cut~ Who believes it! Definitely watching us from some corner. Brooke said in the direction of Mr. Hutton's disappearance.
"Well...... It's better to believe, after all, if you think that there will be the protection of your elders, then any experience will have no effect, but will often put yourself in danger. Andrea reminded with a smile.
After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for everyone to react, turned around and hugged Tong Xi who was standing on the side.
"Well...... Don't be reckless when you're tired. Andrea said with one hand holding Tong Xi.
As they grow older, the height gap between them is getting bigger and bigger, and now Andrea is more than 1.5 meters close to 1.6 meters tall, while Tong Xi is still stuck at 1.2 meters less than 1.3 meters.
So now Andrea is very easy to pick up Tong Xi......
"I'm not reckless, I can still walk a distance, and I'm going to call you later." Tong Xi said with a smile, although it was only a few hundred meters before and after walking out of the city gate from the academy, and the speed of walking was not too fast, but at this time, Tong Xi's breathing rate had significantly accelerated.
Ordinary magicians, although they are also known for their "fragility" of their bodies, are definitely not "empty" to such an extent.
Even the average magician will be a little stronger than the average person! The so-called physical fragility is nothing more than that of a warrior.
At this time, Xi'er beside her looked as usual, obviously the "long journey" that was so tired that Tong Xi couldn't help but gasp for breath was nothing for her.
From this, we can see how serious the side effects of using that spell in the previous two lives and consuming so many souls were.
"That's not going to work." Andrea's right index finger tapped the tip of Tong Xi's nose.
"From the moment we stepped out of the gate of the imperial capital, it was equivalent to the beginning of the experience, didn't you hear it just now, maybe Teacher Hutton has been watching us from the side, even if the teacher is not there, the teacher's absence is even more serious! It means that we may encounter an ambush by robbers and robbers! There is always a danger that needs to be brought into battle! At that time, the light mages in our team will be tired before the battle even starts because of their own stubbornness, so what should we do? Andrea smiled at Tong Xi and said reasonably.
"Okay...... I understand...... But......" Tong Xi had no choice but to sit peacefully in Andrea's arms.
"Huh? What's wrong? Andrea smiled in response.
"Just hold it...... Why are you pinching me......" Tong Xi twisted his little body in the other party's arms......
"Ahh......h It's all because Xiaoxi is so cute......" Andrea said with a smile.
