It wasn't until he stepped out of the castle gate that Barrett opened the buckskin bag in his hand to see what the Earl's reward was—the "blue droplets" that fell into his hands shone with beautiful six-star light.

Putting the two "Bright" back into the deerskin pocket, Barrett pondered as he walked: "This magic gem worth 3oo gold coins really solves the urgent need in front of you!" It seems that our Earl really has a heart. No, or maybe one of his staff had a heart. Know what exactly we need most right now. ”

Jewels, especially those that can be used as spellcasting materials, are the best general equivalent in the game compared to heavy gold coins. Barrett's previous practice of paying in advance in the Chamber of Commerce obviously fell into the observation of the other party. In this Boreham family's stronghold, nothing seems to escape their eyes.

When he returned to the inn, the door of the Barrett and his wife's room was actually open, and he immediately ran to the door that was still swaying in the autumn wind. When I looked closely, I saw that Ellie was slumped backwards with her hands down, and she was slumped back on a back chair. Lalu was standing on a stool and massaging her "owner" on the back.

"Lalu, what's wrong with that guy in your house!" Barrett was a little surprised to see such a performance in front of him. After all, when he went out in his memory, the mage lady in the team still looked like a dragon and a tiger. Why did it become like this in a few hours, it's really a little unacceptable!

"Lily, she failed to copy the scroll three times in a row, and it just ended up like this." Lalu reluctantly explained to Barrett as she helped the mage massage.

Barrett patted Laru's arm in sympathy: "It looks like a lot of loss!" If you really can't do it, let your family rest first! I don't know if it's tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the caravan will be on its way. It's still important to stay in shape. ”

"Don't worry! My Lily has always been a gust of wind, and she will leave it behind in the evening. Lalu gave Barrett an OK gesture, as if to reassure Barrett.

Then, just out of Laru's line of sight, Rielly's fingers twitched slightly. Immediately afterwards, Laru's bean bag face was torn and rubbed on both sides: "Honey, you are here to choreograph me again." ”

"You see, I'm not wrong at all! Lily, she recovered very quickly in this regard. "If it weren't for the fact that in the game, it would have been difficult for Barrett to understand the real meaning of Lalu's face deformation!

"I'm relieved to see you like this, and I won't disturb the time between the two of you in the future." Barrett immediately stepped out of the house and closed the door.

Over dinner, Barrett discussed with his teammates what he could do with his teammates: "Mario! Before the mage learned the Phantom Pony, do you think we didn't need to buy some means of transportation? ”

"You mean you're going to buy horses? I don't think there's any need to invest so much in this escort mission! Wouldn't it be better if we sat in a caravan or board car and acted as a guard like we did last time? Let's talk about your own income! Doesn't it feel like it's against the previous agreement to act as team fund? Mario replied with a frown,

Noodle, who still has relevant experience, immediately saw Barrett's intentions: "I think Barrett means whether or not we will have a scout in the next caravan escort mission." He's probably thinking that if we don't do anything about it, we can affect the perception of the other Guardians. After all, this in itself is a collaborative task for multiple teams. ”

Whether it is an army or a caravan, in the process of traveling in the wilderness of this world, it must send people to ride horses and scatter around. Some of them began to check the road ahead, while others began to be on the lookout for possible changes around the caravan.

From preparing the road in advance, to being wary of possible attacks, from negotiating passage arrangements with other caravans that are interacting with each other, to driving away wild beasts that have no intention of intruding into the threat. This qiē is the task of the scouts. Therefore, except for those guys specially trained by the army, only experienced people among the adventurers can be qualified for such a position, and it is also an important indicator of the strength of an adventure team.

"Barrett must have been afraid of us being gossiped upon. After all, we are also related households. Anvil began to understand Barrett's concerns.

Barrett then explained, "And we're not just going to have to do a guard mission next. In this way, in addition to verbal conflicts, there may be some things that we don't want to see after a long time. ”

"More than just taking on a mission? Barrett: Are you going to make this a long-term business? "Bena thought it was a little incredible.

"That's right!" Barrett played with the cup in his hand, "I think whether it's Mario, Anvil, or Parrot, we should all show up, our level up during this time is too fast." Rather, there is a serious gap in the funding and organizational contributions related to it. I think it's time to settle down and make up for this piece. It is often the shortest board that determines the capacity of the bucket. ”

Mario nodded in agreement: "That's right! The church's contribution was so small that it became a little difficult for me to even get the expertise I wanted. ”

"It does feel that way." The parrot is also sensitive.

"I'd like to add a few more weapons to myself, but gold is a big problem." Although the problems are different, the bearded dwarves also have their own troubles.

looked at Lalou and Rielly, who did not express their opinions, and Barrett directly said: "I rushed too hard some time ago, and now it's time to slowly consolidate the foundation." ”

The next day, Barrett and Mario were seen in the horse market in the team area outside Calada. Buying a mount is something that you have to take your time and choose slowly, otherwise it will not be easy to choose the right horse for your needs.

According to Mario, the mounts he buys now are just temporary excesses, as long as he buys a colt that is not too bad. However, since he went to the Northland, Barrett still thought it would be better to buy a cold-resistant light horse that was a specialty of the Northland. Eventually, after some nitpicking and bargaining with the seller, Barrett finally got the horse in his pocket for 8o gold.

But then before he could get out, Barrett had to pay an extra fee for the hotel to raise the big guy. Whether it's the stables, the hay or the people in charge of the caretaker, it costs money.

After a long wait, the news of the caravan finally reached the ears of Barrett and the others. Unlike the busy logistics in reality, where the sun and the moon are constantly working day and night, business transactions in the game are greatly affected by external factors. Every business behavior must consider the climate, season, production period, customs and politics, and it is not just a matter of getting on the road when you want to.

By the time the blood-stained gray flowers arrived at the warehouse, there were already a lot of aborigines gathered there. More than three meters high warehouses are parked around the surrounding area. A group of laborers climbing up and down were reinforcing the cargo with hemp rope and canvas at hand.

Already heavily armed guards were scattered around the perimeter of the caravan, either the caravan's own armed forces or those who were native to Poitu and had a long-term employment relationship with the caravan. Belong to the type that can definitely be trusted.

In addition, the stragglers gathered on the right side of the horse team were all mercenaries or adventurers who were used as temporary units as Barrett. Those retail investors are not equipped with the same equipment, and they are busy introducing each other to keep warm. In order to be able to take care of multiple people in the following actions.

Although the blood-stained gray flowers are also retail investors, they have no intention of getting involved there. Under Barrett's leadership, several people met with the caravan's leader's territory.

With a distance of 3 or 4 meters, Barrett greeted the tall middle-aged man who was giving orders to a swarthy young man, "Mr. Josephine, you are still as energetic as before. ”

"It's not as good as you young people! Do you have any special requirements for the next step? Mr. Josephine waved his hand to let the swarthy young man leave first, and then began to beckon Barrett.

This attitude is really very different from those adventurers who were temporarily recruited outside. Barrett is also a member of the Boreham family anyway, and according to the current family business, he is a junior with some skills in the side branches, and he seems to have an impression in front of the boss.

Even if such a member cannot be regarded as his own, he must not be treated like those who are hired temporarily. Josephine doesn't know if the other party will become his boss in the future!

"Nope! We're your hired men today, so we can't break the rules. Except that the mages and priests can't keep vigil, you tell us what to do next. Barrett pointed to the horse, "We're ready for everything." ”

"Okay!" With a smile on her face, Josephine began to set up tasks. Seeing that Barrett was so reasonable and didn't cause trouble for himself, this one's mood became good.

"The mercenaries are commissioned, and the caravan escort begins. The task reward will be automatically settled after completion. The system prompt began to appear.

With the last member in place, the last knot was tied, and all the guys in the caravan began to be fully operational. The horn sounded, and the rider's whip began to twitch. With the hoofs raised, the caravan bound for the northern city-states officially departed.
