In the dark passage with a little light, the fire was faint, and only a dim and hazy table lamp illuminated the surroundings every ten meters or so.

Adventurers kept passing by, and the sound of small conversations, noises, and horses' hooves was heard one after another, echoing through the walls of the passage.

This is one of the passages through which Breser leads to the outside world, and from here you can go out of the city with goods and horses, which is not the same type as the entrance they pass through when they come.

Allen and his party were walking here at this time, with mercenaries in front of them opening the way, and a group of mercenaries in the rear.

Kleist, the merchant, walked with him, and since they were both destined for the same thing, the two decided to go together.

In fact, if Kleist had led a group of caravans, Alan would never have agreed to this proposal, because they were still in a hurry to Samuel, and they couldn't bring any burden.

However, Kleist's people are a team of mercenaries in addition to him, and they are also lightly armed and will not lag behind, so after the merchant made this proposal, Alan thought a little and agreed.

Not only will it not be held back, but there is also a team of free mercenaries as a reserve army, why not do it?

Glancing casually to the side, the merchant was on his way, his face faintly and hazy in the dark, his lips pursed, his face serious, probably thinking of something difficult.

"He's not simple. ”

Allen came to this conclusion. Then I thought that every old man is not simple, after all, the experience of a long life is always more adequate than that of a young person.

"How long have you been in business?"

"For more than 40 years, my father was a businessman, and I followed him everywhere since I was a child. ”

"Always in the tobacco business?"

"No, tobacco has only been made in the last three years, and I used to make food, weapons, wood, etc., which one makes money. ”

"Then you must have traveled a lot, right?"

"Well, it's not much, it's mainly in the southern area, and there are very few other areas......

As the chatter continued, the dark passage came to an end, and when the group turned a corner, a gap seemed to come into their eyes.

The gap is very small, and it can only accommodate two people to pass side by side, so you still need to queue up to pass here, but fortunately, there are not too many people out of the city now, and it didn't take long for Alan and them to pass here.

Then a red plain comes into view!

The breeze on the plain is floating, the bright red grass is creeping because of this, and the green-clothed folding willow trees are scattered in various places on the plain, looking like the moon that is overshadowed by the stars of the grass, and it is like a little oasis in the desert.

Walk a little ahead to make way for those behind you, and then look back to see a hill-like peak appear in front of Allen's eyes.

"How can there be peaks in the Scarlet Plains?"

He was surprised by this, and then looked closely, and suddenly realized that this was not a lonely hill, but a huge mountain spreading here on the toes!

The peak of the mountain is only a few tens of meters, and when you jump over it, you can see that a towering mountain is standing tall, like a spirited warrior, stretching its proud posture, and the two horned helmets on its head are pointing straight at the clouds.

"It's Curved Horn Mountain, named because the top of the mountain looks like a horn on the head of an elk. Seeing Alan looking at the mountains behind him, the merchant Kleist explained in passing.

Alan exclaimed, "It's spectacular!"

"Well, indeed. The merchant nodded, he seemed a little preoccupied after leaving the city, and he didn't have the same sense of ease as when he was in the city, and at this time, his voice was unconsciously much lower because of this, but it was still difficult to hide a trace of exclamation: "But it's just an inconspicuous part of the Misty Mountains, and when you get to Samuel, you'll be able to see how magnificent the Misty Mountains really are." ”

"Compared to that, Curved Horn Mountain is nothing. ”

It seems to be a bit of a dirt bun, but from the merchant's mouth, Alan does not feel that he has any disdain, but has a sense of sincerity to tell the experience, with the businessman's ordinary but kind old face, it will not arouse Allen's disgust at all.

This is also one of the reasons why Allen Gao glanced at him, speaking is an art, and the same words can have different effects from different people's mouths.

There seems to be a sense of trust in the words spoken by the businessman.

After a brief inventory of their luggage, the group began to get on their horses and hurry, because of the merchant and his mercenaries, the number of them on this trip seemed to be much larger, including Allen's mercenaries, there were almost thirty people.

Thirty men, thirty fast horses, but the noise was not too loud, and the grass called the dragon's roaring grass under their feet perfectly blocked the earth for the horses' hooves, and there was hardly any sound when stepping on them.

It was already the second half of the day, and the sun above them hung obliquely in the sky behind their heads, illuminating a bright red grassland in front of them and then reflecting slightly, the blood-colored light was not dazzling, but had a strange beauty.

The road was calm, the orcs that Eren and his party were worried about did not appear, and the monsters on the plains did not encounter a few, and they all seemed to have stopped for the time being.

"It reminds me of when I was young, when my father kept beating and scolding my mother every time he drank heavily, and then kept apologizing after sobering up, which seemed so insincere. ”

After the team took a break, one of the mercenaries commented on this.

He is the leader of a mercenary squad hired by the merchant Kleist, and his name is only mentioned once, but because of his superior memory, Alan still remembers him - Dario.

With brown hair and black eyes, a short beard, and a neatly groomed body, he doesn't look at all like a mercenary who is famous for his sloppiness.

Then after the next meal, the drunken father returned, and very casually forgot all the promises he had made, and scolded his mother...... So when I was a child, what I looked forward to the most, but also the most scared, was eating. ”

Putting a bite of the hard bread in his horse's pocket, Dario's face looked serious.

"So obviously, he meant that we should not let our guard down, maybe a bigger crisis awaits us not far away. ”

Hanaris bared his teeth, looked at Dario's rigorous appearance not far away, and smiled with an indecent smile on his face: "This guy likes to talk about big truths around the bush, and he goes around like a girl, not direct at all." ”

He was with Brother Andrew at this time, and Brother Andrew was by Allen's side to protect him at all times, so the mercenary's words were clearly heard by several people's ears.

Although he had been on the road with the merchants, subconsciously, the group was still divided into two groups, and they couldn't see it when they were usually in a hurry, but they could see it clearly when they were temporarily resting at this time.

The mercenaries of the merchants are around the merchants on one side, and Eren and them are on the other.

So to sum up in a word, the calm before the storm. Andrew touched his beard and nodded in a similar way to Hanaris's words.

"Maybe it can also be called hey, and the aftermath is boring. ”

may have been infected by the eldest brother, and the words in Andre's mouth also seemed a bit literary, not a gentleman at all. But the meaning is clear.

So the group subconsciously showed a lewd smile.

This doesn't include Alan, it's not that he's pretending to be serious, it's that he didn't hear it at all.

At this moment, he was looking down at his left wrist, where a blue star was vibrating slightly.
