Lianluo is the daughter of the president of the Baikang Chamber of Commerce, and has been talented since she was a child, although she is only in her twenties, she is already a silver-level warrior, and she has also made a lot of contributions to the expansion of the Baikang Chamber of Commerce, so that the Baikang Chamber of Commerce, which was originally only an inconspicuous chamber of commerce in a small city, has expanded more than ten times in just five years, annexed several chambers of commerce of almost the same size, and spread business to several small cities around.
This time, the Baikang Chamber of Commerce received an extremely precious treasure from a down-and-out nobleman, and wanted to send it to Yanjing, get a little relationship with the big names in Yanjing, and take care of some Baikang Chamber of Commerce, and Lianluo was the candidate for this mission. In order to cover up this mission, Lianluo formed a caravan, took a large amount of goods, set off from the family, and went straight to Yanjing.
Actually, it is not accurate to say that it is a task to cover Lianluo this time. The goods carried by the caravan formed this time, as long as they can be transported to Yanjing, can get a large number of gold coins, which can make the Baikang Chamber of Commerce more powerful, although it cannot be compared with those big chambers of commerce, but in the same level of chambers of commerce, it can still be ranked.
As the daughter of the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Lianluo deeply knows that if there is no strong backer, after the Chamber of Commerce is strong, it can only become someone else's wedding dress, and if someone casually places a crime, the entire family will die, and the huge family business will become someone else's property. It is precisely because of this that after the growth of the Baikang Chamber of Commerce, Lianluo took the initiative to ask for his life, took the precious treasures, and went straight to Yanjing, wanting to find a backer to protect the safety of the Baikang Chamber of Commerce.
Lianluo has precious treasures on his body, and no one else in the entire caravan knows about it, but the large amount of goods in the caravan still makes some people extremely red, although due to the large number of guards in the caravan, some people have dispelled bad thoughts, but some people are not the slightest fear, relying on their own strength, taking advantage of the night, sneak attack the caravan.
At that time, there were dozens of silver-level warriors to carry out sneak attacks, and there were several great magicians secretly helping these sneak attackers, however, Lianluo had long expected that there would be no peace along the way, so the guards in the caravan were carefully selected, and each of them was not weak, and, in order to ensure that he could reach Yanjing smoothly this time, Lianluo also spent a lot of money to invite three mages to protect the safety of the caravan.
With the help of the caravan's guards and magisters, the sneak attackers did not succeed, only a few escaped, and the rest were all killed by the caravan's guards, and even the few archmages who were hiding in the shadows were killed by the caravan's invited magisters.
The caravan escaped a catastrophe, but, after a big battle, the caravan's guards still died more than a dozen of them, and almost everyone was injured, fortunately, there was a water magister among the several magisters who accompanied him, and he was able to use the healing magic of the water system, so that the injuries of these injured guards were alleviated, or even healed, so that the caravan's guardian power would not be empty and taken advantage of by other people.
After barely keeping watch all night, the caravan guards came to a small town in front of them, found a tavern, settled down, and had a good rest. Exhausted from yesterday's battle, they had been guarding the caravan all night, and they had long since been unable to hold on, and when they reached the tavern, they ate a mouthful of food indiscriminately, and most of the guards began to rest, leaving only a few guards still guarding the goods in the caravan.
The caravan accompanied several Magus Lianluo didn't dare to offend at all, and she still needed to rely on the help of these Magus for a period of time in the future, so as soon as the caravan came to the tavern, Lianluo immediately arranged for these Magus to live in the best rooms, and didn't instruct them to do anything at all.
For Lianluo's arrangement, no one in the caravan has any objections, in yesterday's battle, they have all seen the strength of these Magisters, it can be said that they saved their lives, and, really, their strength is indeed inferior to that of Magisters, and there is nothing wrong with Lianluo's arrangement.
This world is where the strong are respected, the strong can enjoy some privileges, and the weak can only struggle at the bottom. Several Magisters are stronger than them, and naturally they can enjoy privileges that they can't enjoy.
Others can rest, but Lianluo can't, she has a big responsibility, and she must ensure the completion of this mission, and the caravan's guards have died more than ten times because of this battle, and they can no longer guarantee the safety of the caravan, so the caravan must supplement the guards, only in this way can the safety of the caravan be guaranteed, and she can be guaranteed to arrive in Yanjing safely.
In order to complete the task safely, after arranging the caravan, Lianluo immediately came to the adventurer's union in the town and issued the task of recruiting ten guards.
Although the adventurer union is not ranked high in the power of the Bright Empire, it is also a behemoth, as long as the population reaches a certain number, there is an adventurer union, but the size of the union is different, the more population it is, the more prosperous it is, the larger the scale of the adventurer union, the more tasks issued in the adventurer union, the smaller the population, the smaller the adventurer union, and there are not many tasks, however, even if it is a small adventurer union, there will be at least one receptionist and a president.
The existence of the Adventurer's Guild can be said to have helped Lianluo a lot, if there is no Adventurer's Union in the town, she doesn't know how to replenish manpower to ensure safety along the way, but with the Adventurer's Union, as long as you spend a certain amount of gold, you can issue a task, and then wait for an adventurer to accept the task.
If it is a random hire of warriors or magicians, Lian Luo does not dare to believe them so easily, because it is likely that such a person will do something that damages the caravan, but after the adventurer's union issues the task, there are adventurers who accept the task, so there is no need to worry about these troubles, and the adventurers who accept the task in the adventurer's union, if it is unfavorable to the employer, there will be people from the adventurer's union to administer justice for the employer, so the people hired in the adventurer's union are still very safe, at least few people dare to offend the adventurer's union.
Although the Adventurer's Guild is not as strong as the Mage Guild, the Warrior Guild, and the Alchemist Guild, it has a good relationship with these guilds, and no one wants to offend such a guild.
It's just a small town, and the adventurers' guild is also the smallest one, and there aren't many quests released, so not many adventurers will come here, and even if they do, they will pass through here and go to other places. Lianluo issued a task here and hired guards, it was just wishful thinking, if she wanted to try her luck here, even if there were a few adventurers to come, she really didn't, she could only leave here with the caravan after resting, and go to the adventurer's union at the next foothold to issue a mission and hire adventurers as caravan guards.
The mission has been sent out for half a day, but no adventurer has come, Lianluo's heart is already very disappointed, but the caravan has not yet set off, so she is still waiting for an adventurer to come over, join the caravan, and protect the caravan to arrive in Yanjing safely.
"May I ask if this is the caravan of the Baikang Chamber of Commerce? We took over the task of protecting the caravan to Yanjing in the Adventurers' Union. Just when Lianluo was extremely disappointed, a voice appeared, which made Lianluo see hope.
Looking up, there were three magicians wearing magic robes and holding ordinary magic wands in their hands not far away, seeing the appearance of the comer, Lianluo couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but in a blink of an eye, he returned to normal, looking at the comer with a smile. These three people are none other than Shi Feng and the three of them who took over the task in the adventurer's guild in the town, and after receiving the task, the three of Shi Feng followed the tips on the task and found the place where the caravan of the Baikang Chamber of Commerce rested, and happened to see Lianluo, so they asked.
"This is the caravan of the Baikang Chamber of Commerce, and I am Lianluo, the publisher of this mission. Do the three magicians really want to join the caravan and protect the caravan as it travels to Yanjing? Lianluo asked with a smile. Although it is only three magicians of average strength, it is better than nothing, Lianluo is ready to let these three magicians join the caravan, but before that, she still has to be sure.
"Protecting a caravan is dangerous, and you can encounter terrible thieves at any time, don't you need to think about it again?" Lianluo asked. Seeing these three magicians, a trace of goodwill rose in Lianluo's heart, and he couldn't help but persuade him.
"We're not afraid, we're masters. If anyone dares to come and make trouble, I will kill him and freeze him into a popsicle. A sorceress raised her wand and grinned.
"That is, we are masters, and if anyone comes to us for trouble, we will kill them, kill them all, and leave no one behind. The other sorceress also grinned, as if she didn't take human life seriously at all.
"We were just going to Yanjing to do some errands, so we took this task by the way. If there are no problems, you can sign it and our employment relationship will be officially established. The male magician of the three magicians took out a piece of paper, which was the task contract issued by the adventurer's union, and only if the employer and the adventurer's union signed, and after arriving at the destination, there was a certificate signed by the employer, so that the task could be ended in the adventurer's union and gold and points could be obtained.
"Since you insist like this, then you are welcome to join the caravan of the Baikang Chamber of Commerce. Most of the caravan guards are still resting, so I'm afraid it will take a while before I can introduce you to them, now you can find a place to rest for a while, it will take some time before the caravan departs, and you can make some preparations during this time. Lianluo said with a smile.
"By the way, what's your name?" Lianluo asked.
"We have no reason to do so, so it's inconvenient to tell us our names." The male magician said with a smile.
"In that case, then I won't ask." Lianluo said with a smile. She knew that there were many people who were inconvenient to disclose their names for various reasons, so she didn't continue to ask, as long as she could protect the safety of the caravan, and she didn't care about the rest.
"Thank you for your understanding, let's just wait here, we've done all the preparations that need to be made, and there's nothing left to do." The male magician said with a smile. "I don't know how many days we have to go to Yanjing?"
"If it's fast, we'll have at least half a month, and if it's slow, maybe it'll take a month. There were too many caravans in the caravan, which made many people red, so we didn't dare to go too fast at all, and we had to make sure that we had enough energy to deal with these possible people, so the speed of the journey was a little slow. Lianluo said with a smile. What, are you in a hurry to go to Yanjing? ”
"There's no hurry, it's just a casual question." The male magician said with a smile.
"Sister, don't worry, with us protecting the caravan, if anyone dares to come to find trouble, I will kill him and let them know how powerful I am. I haven't killed anyone in a long time. A female magician said with a smile.
This is true, she killed some adventurers in the Light and Dark Forest at the beginning, and she has not killed anyone since she came to the Fallen Leaf Town, and now she heard that someone had the idea of fighting a caravan, and she couldn't help but be eager to try, wishing that someone would jump out now to be unfavorable to the caravan.
"I really hope that someone will come to trouble now, I just tried the alchemy bomb made recently to see how powerful it is, the alchemy bomb made before didn't work very well, and this time the one made should work well." Another sorceress said.
Listening to the words of these two female magicians, Philo felt funny and felt that these two female magicians were really too tough, and they were still looking forward to someone coming out to find trouble.
"What a bunch of people who have never seen the world, and when trouble really comes, you will know how dangerous it is." Lianluo shook her head and smiled helplessly.
"Don't listen to them, they're just talking." The sorcerer said with a smile, glaring at both companions, and immediately, both companions stopped talking.
Lianluo immediately recognized that of the three, this male magician was the first of the few.
The mission issued by Lianluo in the adventurer's guild was not continued until the caravan set off, and in the end, in this town, the caravan only replenished three adventurers who seemed to have problems as the caravan's escort to protect the caravan from Yanjing.
Before leaving, Lianluo introduced the three magicians to the guards of the caravan, but not many people looked at the three magicians, because these three magicians were too down, and the gap between them and the magicians in the caravan was too big.
The caravan walked very slowly, and did not travel far for a day, until the evening, when the caravan left the town from which it had departed for hundreds of miles, and for these people of good strength, there was hardly any burden, but no one said that it was slow, because they needed to focus most of their energy on the unexpected situations that might arise on the road.
At night, the caravan set up camp on a bare mound, and all the wagons in the caravan were surrounded by the tents of the guards, and then countless fires were lit around the camp to illuminate the surroundings, and after all this, some of the caravan guards began to rest and eat, and the other part of the guards were responsible for guarding the camp.
"There are enemies !!" Before the guards could eat dinner, the guards raised the alarm, and everyone was immediately on alert.
"It's the Wind Thieves!!" The enemy soon approached the caravan's camp, and when they saw the comers, the guards screamed in horror, and even Lianluo's face turned extremely pale.
