() Pietran's caravan was four wagons when it entered the village, but became five wagons when it left the village.

Charles asked Pietran, who was driving, "How did you come up with the idea of buying another car to drive yourself?"

Now he was sitting in the light wagon that Pietran had bought in the village, and most of the money he had spent on selling wild boars had been spent on Pietran.

"My gut tells me that we're going to pick up more than just wild boars," says Pietran confidently. ”

Charles was speechless about this optimist guy, he was the boss and he had the final say.

After a day to the west, the convoy did not encounter the village again, and was surrounded by wilderness.

Not long after setting off this morning, a valley appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

The mountains here are high and densely forested, the road at the bottom of the valley is rugged and narrow, and the roar of birds and beasts comes from the forest from time to time.

The crowd paused to discuss what to do.

Maria said to Pietran, "Even I can tell it's a good place for bandits to ambush. ”

Pietran nodded, then looked around at the few people in front of him, and ordered, "Wait a minute, we are divided into three groups, Miss Maria and I are in the first car, Ellie and Healy are in the third car, and Charles and Bili are in the last car." ”

Charles nodded, it was no problem to arrange it that way.

The two heavyweights, Pietran and Maria, were arranged in an empty carriage to ensure the mobility of the other vehicles. Ellie and Healy, Charles and Bili are in pairs, all of which are a combination of near and far. The two strongest groups are at the end of the line, which ensures that they are not blocked by the enemy.

The convoy moved forward again, and as soon as they entered the valley, everyone immediately felt that the temperature here was a little lower than outside, and the air was much fresher.

Charles and Billy sat together on the roof of the car, silent because there was no topic.

It didn't take long for Charles to notice that Billy was scratching her legs and knew what was going on without even thinking about it.

He took out a clay bottle from his belt bag and threw it to Bili, saying, "Apply a little to the area where the insect has bitten, this ointment will stop itching and kill insects." In case the bug lays eggs on the skin, the bug will grow up and burrow into the flesh. ”

Bili, who originally wanted to refuse, was startled when she heard this, and hurriedly pulled out the cork of the clay bottle.

A smell of grass came from inside the bottle, and some dark green ointment stuck to the stopper.

It's just that then she was a little embarrassed, she couldn't lift her robe in front of Charles and show her legs.

Seeing this, Charles got out of the carriage and got into the carriage.

After Billy on the roof of the car had applied the ointment and lowered her skirt, Charles rolled over and jumped on the roof, throwing three rolls of white stuff into Billy's arms.

Charles said to her: "These are stockings, you don't wear them, you usually wear them to prevent insect bites." ”

Bi Li took the slightly elastic stockings, and her face turned red suddenly, it was not that she had never received something from a boy, but it was the first time she had received intimate clothing like socks from a boy.

Accept it, will it seem a little ambiguous.

I don't accept it, and I'm afraid that insects will get into the meat.

After a long battle of thoughts, the fear of being drilled in and out of the flesh by the worm finally prevailed, and Billie whispered to Charles, "Thank you." ”

Charles said casually, "You're welcome, just give me the money when Master Pietland settles the bill." ”

Billie blinked wide-eyed and looked at Charles in surprise, but it occurred to her that Charles hadn't said the socks were for them.

With a beginning, Bili also found a little topic.

She asked Charles, "Are you short of money?"

Charles said, "yes. ”

Billy then asked, "Where are you from?"

Charles replied, "A place called Hogsmeade." ”

Bili asked again, "Is there anyone else in your family?"

Charles sighed and said, "My parents have passed away, and only my sisters are gone." ”

"That's right. Bili sighed as well, "My parents have passed away too. ”

At this time, she developed a sympathetic feeling for Charles.

After a while, Billy asked, "Why did you refuse to be a knight?"

Charles shook his head and said, "Not interested." ”

Bili asked curiously, "Why, isn't it good to be a knight and have your own fief?"

Charles made an excuse and whispered, "Lord Pitland is too poor. ”

This answer was too much for Billy to refute.

She asked, "How much money do you think Pietran can make from selling these wound pills this time?"

Charles shook his head and said, "I can't make a lot of money, it's enough to pay for the round-trip, and most of it is something purchased from the west." ”

Billy then asked, "Will you be with Pietran on the way back?"

Charles said: "It depends, if there is a more lucrative task, don't follow. ”

At this moment a large flock of birds flew up from the woods on the hillside at the same time, and Charles was immediately alerted, and he stood up and stared at the place where the birds had taken off.

Billy also became nervous when she saw him like this, and stood beside Charles with a magic wand.

Charles said to Billy, "You look to the other side and see if there's a big flock of birds flying up at the same time." ”

Billy turned to look at the other side of the valley and asked, "Is there an enemy?"

Charles replied, "I don't know, it could be a bandit, it could be a monster, maybe it's some other adventurer." ”

Bili asked a little worriedly, "What if it's a bandit?" I heard that there are quite a few bandits every time they appear. ”

Charles just replied, "Let's do it, if you really come and destroy it." ”

Through his soul vision, he discovered that there was a man in the place where the frightened bird flew, a person of great strength. But the man was not hostile and indifferent to the convoy, and he had nothing to do.

The frightened flock of birds also caught Pitran's attention, and he realized that there might be enemies on the mountain, whether it was a bandit or a monster, or an adventurer who was a cameo bandit, and he ordered to speed up the passage through the valley.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the convoy drove out of the valley without any danger, and the group finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The road on this side of the valley was much better, but the woods were so dense that Pietran again ordered a quick passage through the place.

After walking for more than an hour, the convoy unexpectedly encountered a large convoy of people.

The convoy consisted of thirty men on horseback, armed with things like whips and large sticks in addition to their usual weapons.

The back of the wagon in the convoy was covered with a tarp, and from below it was a large cage.

Charles quickly recognized the nature of the team, and he counted the seven cages in the team of the slave catchers, and when he opened the Soul Vision, he found that there was a person locked in each car.

Surprisingly, Pietran and the leader of the slave hunting team were acquaintances, and the two of them greeted each other with a smile and hugged each other for a while.

As if to show off something, the leader pulled Pietran over to the first cage and lifted the tarp from the corner.

Charles could see clearly what was locked in the car through that corner, it was a blue-haired girl with rabbit ears.

Humans went to the savannah to capture orc slaves, leading to decades of war between humans and orcs.

Although the orcs rescued many of their companions, many of them were sold to the south.

Later, the elves also came forward to rescue many orcs, but there was no shortage of orcs in the slave market in the south over the years.

Pietran and the leader of the slave catchers said that there seemed to be strange movement in the valley ahead, and the leader thought for a moment and decided to spend the night nearby and pass through the valley again early tomorrow morning.

After saying goodbye to the leader of the slave catchers, Pietran went on the road again, and when he couldn't see the slave catchers, Bili said to Charles: "I didn't expect them to capture the orcs, if they were on my side, they would have lured the wolf cavalry of the orcs." ”

Charles pretended to be casual and echoed it, and he must have no reason to ignore it when he encountered it.
