"My name is Julian, thank you again for your kindness, whatever your needs are, I will do my best to meet them." The blonde young man Julian said to Shi Zhengyang sincerely.

Mu Lan looked at Julian's blue eyes, she would be suspicious of the words of this caravan young owner, the black knights were well-trained, and there were two powerful magicians among them, this group of people did not look like looting, but seemed to have other purposes.

Shi Zhengyang waved his hand and said: "We don't need money, we need a guide even more, I don't know where your destination is?" ”

The four guards carried the bodies of their companions and piled them together, and then set them on fire, Julian looked at the flames, his eyes showed a trace of sadness, and he said in a low voice: "We were originally entrusted by General Roland of Willenburg to transport some goods, but we didn't expect to be intercepted and killed by this group of people halfway, and most of the guards were lost. ”

Julian glanced at the goods loaded on the carriage and said, "Next, I will go to the nearest Oak Town to replenish it, and at the same time recruit some mercenaries, I wonder if the warriors can help me again and escort me to Oak Town, since you are not short of money, I have some rare magic items here......"

Saying that, Julian asked the guards to fetch a wooden box, he looked at Mu Lan and Lin Yiyi, and said with a smile: "Two beautiful ladies, one is a magician, the other is a magic archer, I have some precious elemental crystals here, which contain pure elemental power, and a magic staff, which was given to me by my friend, it is said that it was made by the great magician of the royal capital, and the grace of saving lives cannot be repaid, I hope you are not polite." ”

Of course, Lin Yiyi would not be polite, she took out an elemental crystal with a big grin, these things that looked like diamonds really contained elemental power, and Mu Lan could clearly perceive these.

What intrigued her even more was the staff, which was almost standard for magicians, a weapon that could store magic and enhance its own spellcasting.

Mu Lan picked up the one-meter-long ancient staff, it was made of unknown wooden materials, the whole was very light, and the top was inlaid with a glowing gem, the gem could be a magic stone or something, exuding a powerful magical power.

I don't know if it's useful for the warlock to hold the staff, Mu Lan waved it twice at will, and found that there was no reaction, but she was still very happy in her heart, feeling that she hadn't wasted her mental power in vain, and she had actually gained something.

Using the telepathic link to get Shi Zhengyang to agree to Julian's request, Shi Zhengyang immediately said: "That's really a coincidence, we are about to go to Oak Town, so let's set off together." ”

After a short rest, the two teams merged together and continued to march north, and through Julian's narration, everyone learned more about this world, such as the main forces on the continent, and the specific situation of the Zoritan barbarians.

Although the Kingdom of Norswar was once the most powerful country on the mainland, it gradually declined due to corruption within the kingdom and rebellions in various places, coupled with repeated harassment by the barbarians in the north, the king's army was even more powerless to stop it, Mu Lan thought of the description of the last years of the dynasty, this feudal monarchy is going downhill, and there is a tendency to fall apart.

But in fact, the monarch of this kingdom itself does not have a strong centralized power, except for the vicinity of the royal capital, all places are essentially controlled by the noble lords, the people only recognize the lord and do not recognize the king, the finance and taxation are independent, they are the real emperors of the soil.

The center of Norsval's reign was now even more chaotic, with the old king dying of illness and power in the hands of his younger brother Regent Drassie, a conspirator who swept away the king's power as soon as he came to power, and Julian described him as a stubborn and insidious character.

Julian could only give a rough idea of the situation of the Zoretan barbarians, after all, he had never been to the cold Far North, and all he knew was hearsay.

The forces and topography of this world constructed a specific outline in Mu Lan's mind, the extreme north realm should be the place where the continent of St. Valen is close to the North Pole, the further north the continent is, the colder it becomes, there must be a typical cold climate.

The origin of the Zoritan barbarians is no longer clear, they claim to be the descendants of the winter god Zoritan, is a tribal nomadic people, hunting and grazing for a living, there are grasslands in the north in summer to graze, the barbarians are relatively stable, but in winter there is no grass, the extremely harsh environment allows them to harass the Norswar kingdom in the south, plundering the population and robbing the grain.

It seems that one of the teams will be assigned to the territory of the Zoritan Barbarians, the kingdom and the barbarians are almost at war, and the name of the dungeon [Winner is King] indicates that there will only be one winner.

But the question arises, the world of reincarnation has summoned a total of three teams, and only two factions can choose from, why is this?

Mu Lan couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time, the current intelligence was limited, so she could only continue to wait for the next task of the system.

While thinking about it, Zhao Ziyu suddenly communicated with her through a psychic link, and he said with doubts: "This Julian may not be simple. ”

"How do you tell?"

Zhao Ziyu continued: "Look at his words and deeds, it is impossible for the son of a caravan owner to have this kind of temperament, and he is a precious magic staff made by a great magician, plus these black-clothed knights of unknown origin came to chase and kill, this person's identity is not so simple." ”

Lin Yiyi was chatting around Julian with a curious face, Mu Lan saw Julian's posture upright, speaking neither humble nor arrogant, and always maintaining a gentle smile of a polite gentleman, giving people the feeling of a spring breeze.

Julian not only has excellent appearance and temperament, but his dress is also low-key and luxurious, Mu Lan saw that his saber was carved with delicate and complex textures, and it was not an idle thing at first glance.

"Keep an eye on him, it's no threat to us anyway." Mu Lan said to Zhao Ziyu.

Due to the presence of the caravan's caravans, the team of twelve did not travel very fast, and the journey was uneventful, and on the fourth day, they finally arrived at Oak Town, the largest human gathering place in the region.

The periphery of Oak Town is a low city wall, which looks dilapidated, and has not been repaired and maintained for many years, and it is estimated that Shi Zhengyang can blast open this earthen wall with a few punches, the city is not large, and it is far worse than the towns in the real world.

Julian showed the city keeper the certificate of merchant, and then secretly handed over a few gold coins, and the city guard opened the door with a smile and let him go.

As soon as she entered the town, Mu Lan found that it was very prosperous, with vendors shouting and peddling goods, blacksmith shops clanging, and hunters drying the skins of demonic beasts......

After walking for several days in the uninhabited wilderness of Liao, although the scenery is beautiful, it is boring after a long time, and everyone feels new as soon as they enter Oak Town, and Lin Yiyi even ran to the vendors to look at it curiously.
