Thinking that this mysterious magician can actually complete two magic weapons in a day, the boss Uma is not only stunned. If you convert this into profit, there are more than 100 gold coins almost every day, and this is still an ordinary magic weapon, if it is a high-level weapon, the value does not know how many times it will be doubled, so even if you don't think about anything, just alchemy, this mysterious magician called Levins is a movable gold mountain. And if he can leave him to the empire, he will be a great achievement, and maybe he will be transferred back to the imperial capital to reunite with his family as soon as he is happy.
The boss Uma made up his mind and rushed to the bar immediately, and at the same time he was secretly wondering whether to find a way to keep Allen, but he still decided to give up after a change of thought, if the other party is really a big magician, don't say whether the other party will listen to him, even if he wants to use force to keep him, I'm afraid it will be a fire, maybe he will anger the other party, and destroy the whole town, it is not necessarily, or find a way to let Victor turn around and bring him back, but I still have to remind Victor to pay special attention to this person, don't let him affect the progress of the whole planγ
Not to mention a series of arrangements from the boss Uma, it was already time to set off the next day, in order to hurry, everyone got up very early, and a row of carriages had been installed on the road outside the bar, Alan probably took a few looks, and the number was only fifteen or sixteen, which was half more than the number parked in the yard before, and I don't know if it was temporarily increased in the past two days.
In addition to the vehicles, the personnel are even more complicated, in addition to the thirty mercenaries, there are also a dozen coachmen, the men of the twenty caravans, plus the four Allen, there is almost a team of more than seventy people.
When the four of Alan came out, the captain Frank was already counting the number of people, and after Allen said hello to him, he walked to the end of the line with the three little guys, and the three little ones saw such a caravan and mercenary team for the first time, and looked at this and that with curiosity.
The magician Frank and his junior brother Sander were the last to come out, and they also followed the tail of the whole team, when Sander saw Allen, he also greeted warmly, and Frank was completely contemptuous, just swept Alan with the corner of his eye, and only snorted at Allen's good morning greetings as a reply, Miranda saw Frank's expression, the little girl raised her eyebrows and wanted to fight back, but Allen glared, and she had to hold back angrily.
After the counting of the number of people was completed, the captain Frank gave an order, the whole team was pulled out, and the bar owner Uma also came out to see off the caravan, especially for Alan, who took his hand before leaving, and told him that when Alan returned from Higg, he must settle down and rest for a few more days at his bird bar.
Victor, the caravan's owner, hugged Uma as well, and Uma muttered a few words in his ear, and then he patted Uma on the back to reassure him.
On the way to the checkpoint, the caravan owner Victor has been walking side by side with Allen, and the two casually chatted about some of the journey's experiences.
"Victor, after we are ready to pass the checkpoint, let's go first, Auntie's condition is very urgent, we need to rush over as soon as possible. β
Alan also took the opportunity to say what he thought.
"Mr. Levins, it's not as safe to go to Hig as you think, the horse bandits on Higg's side are very fierce, even if you don't worry about it personally, but the three children should always think about it, right? Besides, Boss Uma asked me to take care of you before leaving, how could I let you go out on an adventure? If something happens, my old face won't be able to see Uma. β
Hearing that Alan was going to fly solo after passing the level, the boss Victor immediately nervously persuaded him.
"Isn't it just a few bandits? There are everywhere on the mainland, there is nothing to worry about, it's a big deal to give them a few money to buy roads. β
Alan deliberately pretended not to take the horse bandits to heart.
"Higg's horse bandits are different from other horse bandits, most of them are from the regular army, and there are some magicians in them, and their leader is a combination of a great swordsman and a great magician, this combination is a good configuration even if it is put in a legion. And they have a bitter hatred with the Holy See and Higg, not only for money, but also for life. β
Victor seemed to be worried that Alan would despise the bandits, so he spoke out about the strength of the bandits he knew, and his words were not exaggerated, because these bandits were made up of the remnants of the original Bols Resistance.
Alan initially thought that this was just a polite way for Victor to stay, but he asked a few more words, and Victor refused, looking like he was really worried about the safety of several people, and wanted to send Alan and the four of them all the way to his uncle's house. So Alan decided not to speak anymore, and besides, he was a little confused, and waited until he crossed the border and found an opportunity to sneak away.
Two hours later, the caravan arrived at the Yus level, and Alan found that it was the same group of soldiers who had guarded the checkpoint two days earlier, but this time they ignored them as if they had never known the four of them, and simply counted the number of people, and then symbolically opened a box, and opened the gate of the checkpoint to let everyone pass.
However, when I got to the checkpoint on Higg's side, everything was not so simple, especially seeing that the caravan was crowded and there were many mercenaries carrying equipment, the checkpoint almost sent a squadron of heavily armed soldiers to monitor.
Although the caravan owner, Victor, was a man of many faces, and often traveled back and forth between Hig and Jus, and was familiar with the border guards in both places, but in the current tense situation, he still could not escape the strict inspections. The Higg guards not only carefully counted the number of people, but even questioned them one by one to determine if they had come from Jus. And the purpose of this is to distinguish whether there are horse bandits involved or not.
When they saw Steven's three teenagers, the guards were obviously stunned, they couldn't understand why they had to bring a few children on the chaotic journey, but fortunately, the boss Victor was quick to speak, and quickly explained that this was his nephew and niece who were going to visit relatives at Higg's side, and then stuffed a gold coin into the guard, and the guard looked at the three of them again, and felt that there was no threat, so he turned back, and Alan smiled at the boss to express his gratitude. The guards over there had already begun to unpack and inspect the caravan's carriages, and Alan had always suspected that there might be something wrong with the caravan's goods, so he also paid extra attention to it, but the result was quite unexpected, the carts were loaded with cotton and linen, furs, and some rum and other goods, which were the most common in the north-south trade.
