Thereupon.

The scout casually gave a few loud whistles to the back, as if to indicate that the road ahead was safe?

Not for a while.

The group of people sparsely swept past Chen Shaman and the others.

The leaders of the caravan in the convoy only glanced at their clothes casually, and did not pay any attention to them—a few dusty travelers, not very shabby, but not of luxurious silk fabrics.

Because when Shaman Chen escaped, he did hastily pack up his money and belongings, and even Chen Xuyuan was torn by Antonio because of his robe, so he simply changed into a regular travel uniform worn by ordinary civilians, so as to act in a low-key manner on the way to escape.

In fact.

No wizard wears the iconic robes or aristocratic costumes like in third-rate romance novels.

Even when Vasily came out to play on weekdays, he dressed more casually.

This continent is also like the earth, among the aristocracy, a European-style tight-sleeved tunic - a beautiful lace aristocratic shirt.

For wizards, the robe is simply a solemn occasion dress like a school uniform and evening dress.

Moreover.

Who would think that it would be easy to get the casting materials from the wide robe that flutters when the wind blows?

On the contrary, there are some pragmatic wizards, even practical enough to wear only wizard combat uniforms - that is, the kind of close-fitting combat clothes and pants that resemble field uniforms and tactical vests, and almost all of them are pockets. Middle- and low-level wizards who have not learned [Material-free Spellcasting] always have in their pockets, often filled with all kinds of strange spider silk, beast blood, bat feces and other spell-casting materials.

Anyway.

As long as there is a cloak or something like that, it won't look too undignified on the outside.

However, the robe is not useless, when the robe was first designed to be popular, its biggest function was to disguise the wizard's hands in the sleeves, and some wizards would secretly cast a spell in advance to sneak attack, taking advantage of a little first-mover advantage.

After all.

When a wizard is seen casting spells, it is not only alarming, but also likely to cause other hostile wizards to guess the type of spell based on their gestures to cast counterspells.

Of course.

For example, if some middle and high-level wizards can do most of the witchcraft [free of materials], then they can wear it casually.

Most of the long-term merchants on the mainland, whether men or chiefs, wore robes as tight as Arab women's, and most of them covered their mouths and noses to prevent the discomfort caused by dry sandstorms or clammy sea breezes.

So much so that Shaman Chen's eyes didn't recognize that there were some "acquaintances" in it.

At this time.

The main men at the head of the caravan rode on tall horses.

They were gathered around a large carriage, and a few other people inside who couldn't see each other clearly, some of them were discussing something with solemn expressions.

Chen Xuyuan used his power to infuse both ears.

Faintly heard.

A majestic and calm tone came from the carriage and said, "Earlier, my people in Sarn City have heard that the Kaom Kingdom has recently invaded the territory of the Azmeri Kingdom again, and there is a fight for the thaumaturgical gem mine on the border. “

"Moreover, this time, even the people of the Oriath Kingdom are involved. However, because the Kaom Kingdom was stabbed in the back by the Kudu Ancient Kingdom, it seems that it is ready to give up the fight for gem mines and temporarily transfer troops back to the Western Front to defend. But in order to prevent each other from sneaking up on the rear, the kingdoms have also blocked the roads on the border, blocking all caravans and spies from crossing their borders!"

"Then should we find someone to go over and clear up the relationship first?" asked one of the people who was riding a horse next to him, worriedly.

"Hmph, no, all they can block is the main trade route, and there are so many passable places at the border, at most they will send people to inspect it occasionally. Those mid- and upper-level officers are my 'old friends', and they will sell me some face, and it will be too late to spend some money when they meet, and if they don't, they don't have to pay tribute to these vampires. “

The one inside seemed to have a Zhizhu in his hand, and replied again in a calm voice.

Seem.

It's because the boss is very weighty, and the small bosses of the other caravans are also a little more attentive.

And in order for everyone to save this lot of "filial piety fees", they talked and laughed, and began to discuss with each other - which high-end club girl in the city is more full and juicy, and so on, which makes adult men more interested in the topic.

Seeing that he couldn't get anything else useful, Shaman Chen didn't continue eavesdropping.

But he didn't expect the world to be so small.

on a moving carriage.

There were already two watching eyes that saw Chen Xuyuan and the three of them through the gap in the curtain on the carriage, and recognized them - and remembered the expensive "labor and military expenses" he had paid.

The man who was spying on their businessman's boss was none other than Giles, who had not been seen for a long time.

But he seemed to be very tired, or a little sick and sick, so that he was a little sluggish and half lay down in the corner of the carriage to rest.

Just now.

Just when he wanted to open the curtain to take a breath, he happened to see Chen Xuyuan and a few of them.

Although he was stunned for a moment, he immediately covered the curtain cloth and carefully identified them through the gap for a long time, and finally confirmed that it was the shaman who had once pit his goods with a certain team of noble private soldiers.

Although he also said a few fair words at that time, the money from the land now makes him feel uncomfortable.

But~

Ever since he had become the "Leader of the Way", he knew that the domain of the little nobles was completely finished.

Hey, hey, hey!

My goods, how can there be such a good pit.

Looks like~

These people should have escaped in embarrassment in the end, and it just so happened that I was in a bad mood, and I could no longer let people help me vent my anger again, so I should have some fun.

Giles thought to himself.

So, he turned to the caravan leader next to him and whispered to him.

Because a quarter of the caravan outside was made up of the caravan leader's people, including the hired mercenaries, and the others just pooled some money for him on the road and set up a small caravan on the road together.

So.

Now Giles needs to get the consent of the leader of the big caravan and borrow a team of mercenaries to vent his anger.

Chen Xuyuan and his disciples asked them to wait for the caravan to pass by on the side of the road, and they followed them a few hundred meters behind them, heading towards their destination.

In this chaotic world, it's always safer for more people to walk together~

Soon.

The group of mercenaries who were protecting the caravan immediately divided into a dozen or so people, and stood in a row as if blocking the road, blocking their way.

Among these people were tall, short, fat and thin, and in addition to a large group of melee professionals, there was also a spellcaster who didn't know the rank standing not far behind.

Although he didn't know what the other party's intentions were, it was obvious that some people were not good, so Chen Xuyuan frowned, and asked aloud first.

"Is there anything you can help with?"
