The labourers stepped on the thick planks and climbed onto the three largest sleds to unload the goods on their backs.

Then Ghosn personally counted the goods, confirmed that the quantity of goods was accurate, and then instructed the laborers to tie up the goods.

As soon as the goods were tied, Ghosn commanded several soldiers to pull the goods several times, and after confirming that the goods could never be loosened and fell due to the bumps, he ordered everyone to board the sleigh.

Vinson and Evensey were assigned to a sleigh at the rear of the caravan, apparently leaving Vinson in charge of the rear defense.

Vincent, who was on the sleigh, looked up and squinted to observe the weather.

Compared with the previous two days, there are very few clouds today, revealing the true colors of the sky.

Just as Vincent had just finished watching the day and bowed his head to say something to Evancy, Ghosn's voice came from the middle of the bobsleigh team.

"Target: Detroit, onward. ”

The man driving the sled heard the command and shook the reins in his hand violently. And at the same time, let out a strange roar.

Barking

As soon as the squatting sled dogs heard their master's command, they swooped out in unison, and they ran and barked, as if they were extremely excited.

The caravan, departed.

The sleigh running through the vast snow is very smooth, and there are no bumps at all.

Perhaps because the route had been designed in advance, the caravan followed a somewhat crooked but unobstructed path to the northeast.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Vincent struck up a conversation with the warrior beside him.

Vincennes' sleigh was not very large, and there were only nine people including the driver.

There are two rows of seats in the back of the sled.

Vincent and two other strong men sat in a row, and another mercenary team of four sat in a row.

Evancy sat in the innermost part of the driver's seat, and Vincent sat next to her.

It is learned that Vincent is a second-order warrior and an old warrior who has become a father.

The second-order warrior who was actively talked to by Vincent, who called himself Jean, couldn't help but show a look of humility asking for advice.

In addition to the absolute overwhelming advantage of rank, combat experience is often the most critical factor in determining life and death in a class like a warrior.

Jean, who rose to the second rank at a young age, has a lot of arrogance in his heart.

But he knew better that what a new second-order warrior like himself needed most was the guidance of an older warrior like Vincent.

One sentence at a time, Vincent taught some techniques that he didn't think were very good, and gave Jean the treasure.

Jean, on the other hand, gave everything he knew about the caravan.

The caravan is affiliated with the Melicon Chamber of Commerce, one of the three major chambers of commerce of the Divine Empire.

Their caravan had set out from the Bitter Cold Fortress to Detrory.

Most of the goods in the caravan were some food and daily necessities.

And among them, there are some of Detrory's most scarce fire anti-potions.

In order to teach Vincent more experience, Jean secretly handed Vincent a note.

The note said that the Mericon caravan's trip was not just an ordinary transaction, but also had a deeper purpose.

According to the information that Jean knows, he is a high-level member of the Mellicon Chamber of Commerce, and he has learned a major piece of information from somewhere.

Intelligence said that the monolithic vein beneath Detroit showed signs of moving slowly to the surface.

Vincent, who had read it carefully, twisted the note with his hand, and then looked at Jean with a smile on his face with surprised eyes.

"How do you know?" asked Vinson in a whisper.

"Ask more questions and think more, and summarize the one with the highest level of trust. Jean replied brilliantly.

Seeing Vincent's caution, Jean scratched his head again and said, "Besides, there is a lot of this kind of rumor-like information in the Bitter Cold Fortress." ”

Vincent and Jean spoke quickly and quietly, and of the nine people on the sleigh, except for Avinsey, they heard only a few words.

"Jean, what about spreading rumors again?" Probably hearing the word "intelligence" Probably hearing the word intelligence, the first-order female warrior opposite Vincent had a teasing smile on her face.

"True or false, what if it's true?" Jean didn't argue, but instead said his own unique experience.

"Even if it's true, it has nothing to do with us, and today's Detroit is not something that a person of our strength can enter. Jean, I advise you, don't waste your good youth in untouchable dreams. The female warrior tried to persuade her.

Hearing this, Jean, who was smiling and scratching his head, hadn't answered, but the female guardian knight beside the female warrior was the first to speak.

"Mary, isn't it interesting for you to care so much about Jean, huh?" the Guardian Knight said at the end, arching the female warrior named Mary.

"No, I don't like women, mother, can't I find a man with potential?" Mary fought back without blushing and heartbeat.

"Okay, how could it not be, it's just that a young boy like Jean doesn't necessarily like an old woman like you. ”

"I'll tear your mouth apart. ”

Mary, who was ridiculed on the most sensitive issue, didn't care about her own image, and directly overwhelmed the guardian knight and pinched her face.

"Don't disturb my babies. The driver of the sled said without looking back.

It turned out that Mary suddenly had a hard time, which made the sleigh, which had been running smoothly, bump twice in a rare way.

There were even two sled dogs, which also hit each other a bit.

"I'm sorry. ”

Mary and the Guardian Knight sat up straight in an instant and bowed their heads to the driver.

As a result, the dull atmosphere at the beginning of the sleigh was immediately improved.

The group simply introduced themselves to each other.

Next to Jean, sitting at the end of the sleigh, a first-order warrior named Hiro.

The female guardian knight of the first order was named Haisha, and the male and female warriors of the same mercenary team as them were a couple, and the strength of the two was also only of the first order.

The man's name is Nils, and the woman's name is Jenny.

It's just that when they learned that Vincent and Evinsi were a husband and wife, and they were both second-order strengths, they all had expressions of amazement.

Not to mention the exaggerated appearance of their mouths opening the widest when they learned that Vincent and Avensey had the daughter of a first-order stalker.

Until lunchtime, the sledding team had been on a five-hour journey through the endless snowfields where the occasional snow-capped pine forest could be seen.

Along the way, the sledding team did not encounter any emergencies and arrived at the resting place marked on the map very safely.

Under a sheltered valley, ordinary sleds are parked in a circle, enclosing the large sleigh with the cargo and the sleigh that the magician rides in.

In the center of the circle, are five huge bonfires.

All the people of the caravan sat around the campfire, eating the lunch distributed by the caravan over the hot broth.

Lunch was simple, with butter and lean roast meat, and a palm-sized, sandwich bread more than three centimeters thick.

One for each person, not enough to take again.

Truth be told, Vincent only took one bite and was so tired that he didn't want to take the next bite.

But in the end, he still pretended to eat three with relish, and Avinsie also ate three.

Jean, who is also a second-order warrior, only barely ate two.
