Chapter 10 The Long Way VII
(Chapter 2 arrives!) Thank you for the tips from the two book friends, Evil 0 Peak and Brother Night Supper! Strive to collect and ask for votes in the ~~~~~~)
In the year 1143 of the Dawn calendar, on the evening of the twentieth day of the third month of the recovery season, in the wilderness at the junction of the provinces of Faro and Tru in the kingdom of Talan, on a flat land not far from the river, a caravan of several hundred people was busy with rest and dinner at night, and the noise of bonfires and human voices made this flat land extremely lively.
In one of the tents that had been set up as quickly as possible, under the bright light of the magic lamps in the tent, Rhodes and the Tamon Knights, who had just sat down, were talking about their team and the team......
"Young Master Rhodes, the speed of the caravan is too slow now! It's almost a month of rotation, and we've just reached the edge of the province of Faro, and if you want to reach the county seat of Putu in the province of Trou, it will take at least fifteen days."
Looking at Rhodes, who was sitting on the seat in the tent with a flat face, Knight Tamon, who had just entered the tent and sat down, and took off his knight's helmet said to Rhodes in distress.
Well, it's different from the Ruder Finn team, which basically travels lightly and can walk almost 100 kilometers a day. Most of the horses in the combined caravan were the kind of horses used to pull carts and ride, and they could not be compared to the Rhodes convoy, which was at least the best horses and barons, and fed with concentrate.
As a combined caravan that uses livestock and basically belongs to that kind of cheap goods, it is basically a kind of slow march every day. And every two or three hours, the combined caravan would stop for half an hour to rest.
After all, if you keep walking, the people in the carriages, caravans, and horses on horseback can say that the livestock and horses pulling the carts in the combined caravan are probably unbearable.
-- The horses on the earth are actually very delicate, and in this world, the knight war horses and high-class war horses with the blood of Warcraft are better said, those ordinary horses are actually stronger than their counterparts on the earth at most, but not too much, in the process of driving for a long time, these horses will continue to accumulate fatigue, and even permanent damage will occur over time!
The merchants in the combined caravan were not fools, they were not fleeing for their lives or marching in a hurry, and the scheming merchants would not make the kind of loss-making business that would go full speed every day regardless of horsepower.
Thus, for almost a month of rotation, the combined caravan would not travel more than thirty kilometers per day, and it would probably stay for a day or two in each town or county where it settled to process goods or buy new ones.
This "slow" speed of movement is of course nothing for the merchants and mercenaries who combine the caravans, but it is really unbearable for the Tamon Knights, who are used to the fast marching speed of the previous ones!
"It doesn't matter, Knight Tamon, we're not in a hurry! After we get to the city of Putu, let's go to the border side alone" Looking at the Tamon knight who was a little anxious and self-blaming, Rod who had just started to grow a beard on his mouth said indifferently that the speed god horse didn't matter, and then he relieved the Tamon knight.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Ten minutes later, in the tent.
"What about a slower team? I'm not in a hurry now, so I can slowly arrange the spiritual coordinate points" Looking at the Tamon Knight who had just left, Rod said in his heart the real reason why he was so calm.
Although going to the Scarlet Canyon is the most important thing for Rhodes at the moment, after Rod came out of the Barony of Ernst, he realized that he could actually do a lot along the way. For example, spread the spiritual coordinates of the gods game space all the way, and let the number of contractors in the gods game space start to increase significantly!
Up to now, there are more than 200 spiritual coordinate points in the game space of the gods, covering all the provincial capitals and all the counties of Elantra Province, Dilan Province, Rand Province, and Faro Province of the Talan Kingdom, and some towns and villages with key locations. The number of contractors in the entire space now exceeds 45,000, and the largest number is the Elantra Province contractor, which accounts for almost half of the contractors.
Among these contractors, there are already more than fifty knights and warriors of the bronze rank, and even the last time he pulled people, Rhodes also pulled in two bronze magicians to make them contractors.
However, among these Bronze Rank Contractors, there are already more than twenty Contractors who have broken through in the space, and even if Rhodes himself is willing and has unlimited access to resources, among the Contractors who are currently working hard to earn huΓ n points, there will be at least two thousand Gray Iron Peak Rank Contractors who can break through the Bronze Rank after obtaining sufficient resources!
Of course, Rod also believed that if he made this kind of decision, it would not take a month for the four provinces that were currently covered by the spiritual coordinates of the gods game space to be fried.
Are you kidding!
It's good to say that the warriors of the red bronze rank have a few lucky people who break through in the battle every year by chance and stimulate their fighting spirit, but if the two professions of knight and magician do not have corresponding inheritance, there are not many breakthroughs in this world (to be precise, knights have a few examples of wild road origins, and magicians have no adventures and basic zero eggs) examples!
The most important thing is that if two thousand warriors, knights, and magicians of the red bronze rank appear at once, even if those knights, nobles, and strong people who originally belonged to the vested interest group do not take any action, are these contractors who have broken through the red bronze rank still willing to be mercenaries, apprentices, and cannon fodder as before?
This point Rhodes understands from the examples of the twenty contractors who can't wait to change their treatment after breaking through the bronze rank, how unreliable and completely inconsistent with the reason for the mentality of human beings to pursue becoming stronger!
ββRod also understands this mentality, after all, if he becomes stronger and is still treated the same as before, how many people will choose to become stronger? Just as the ancient Celestial Empire studied in order to become an official in the imperial examination to change their fate, if the ancient study could not become an official in the imperial examination, Rod did not think that those peasant families in the ancient Celestial Empire would have such a good motivation to provide for their children to learn to read!
The problem was that Rhodes psychologically understood the mentality of the majority of the commoner-born, freed-class contractors, but he could not let the contractors act in terms of practical interests and timing.
Not to mention that so far, Rhodes is not sure that the strong people in this world can follow the contractors to discover the gods game space and even break through the defenses of the space, just making the contractors stronger at any cost is not in Rhodes' interests, and it is difficult to say whether it will make the contractors who are now working hard to contribute spiritual energy and soul energy think more.
Of course, in addition to these headaches for Rod, the struggle of Baroness Ernst, who became a contractor, in the game space of the gods made Rhodes a little happy.
Under the secret care of Rhodes, the experience of Baron and his wife in the game space of the gods can be described as smooth sailing, and they have obtained unexpected gains in both the challenge world and the god-given architecture.
Even now, Baron Ernst TongguΓ² has been "lucky" by the gods once, and has obtained a trial qualification to be promoted to the Silver Knight, and may become the first Silver Rank Contractor to be promoted in the game space of the gods!
"Fortunately, the information of the silver rank and gold rank melee professionals has been deduced, but it is still difficult to get the inheritance of the magician!" Thinking back to what he saw in the gods game space last night, Rod couldn't help but think to himself with some sighs.
After the efforts of the gods game space to collect, realize, and deduce, before Rhodes set off from his home to the Scarlet Canyon, the relevant inheritance and content of the silver rank of melee professionals have been deduced by the gods game space, and the relevant inheritance of warriors, knights and other gold-rank melee professionals has finally been completed a few days ago due to the spread of a large number of spiritual coordinate points in the gods game space and various efforts!
Probably the only thing that gave Rhodes a headache was that magicians, apothecaries, enchanters, alchemists and other mage-related professions even now covered four provinces, hundreds of spiritual coordinate points and vigorous searches, there was not much progress. Although it took a lot of effort, the gods game space was only obtained by passing on the official magicians of the elemental factions such as the Bronze Terrace, wind, water, fire, and ice. And the inheritance of the subsidiary professions related to the master is not much different, basically there is no problem with the gray iron and red bronze ranks, and the higher ones lack relevant information and inheritance.
Well, it's not that the gods don't play the space, it's that those magicians or sub-professions of the law system who really have a legacy are attached to the official mage tower. Rhodes himself was questionable about whether the exploration of the Gods' Game Space would be able to conceal the Mage Tower, so the exploration has been in a cautious but unusually slow progress.
"Isn't it a basic mage tower to cut in? The space now should be able to suppress the other side"
Just as Rhodes was in the tent thinking about some very violent thoughts, a voice suddenly interrupted Rhodes' thoughts.
"Master Rhodes, dinner is ready!"
The attendant outside the tent reminded Rhodes that it was already time for dinner.
"Oh? Okay, I'll be right out!"
Rhodes didn't get angry after being interrupted by the attendant, and commanded very simply.
Rhodes himself is not a daughter, and if he is not sick or injured or other things, of course he will not choose to eat alone in the tent, but directly eat with the Tamon Knight and others outside.
"Yes, Master Rod!"
