After a night's rest, the group quickly recovered from the fatigue caused by the overnight journey a few days ago, and as soon as it was light, they packed their bags and continued on their way.

Because there were no suitable ships to carry so many of them, the original plan of taking the water route had to be changed in favor of the trade route taken by the merchants to and from the Duchy of Tocent.

This trade route was first built by the elves to connect with the outside world, and caravans from the elven kingdom often used this trade route to travel between Towson and Medina. The source of this trade route is Bockland, and the end of this trade route is the city of Maitina, the capital of Maitina.

However, after the destruction of the Elven Kingdom, the Duchy of Touscent adopted a more convenient, larger, and faster ship operation as the principality's main foreign trade route, resulting in the abandonment of this trade route for a period of time.

It wasn't until many years later that smugglers reactivated the abandoned trade route and brought large quantities of unpaid black liquor to Maitina for sale, and the trade route was revitalized over time.

However, because of those years of disrepair, the road has been potholed, not only the caravan carrying goods vehicles can not run smoothly on this road, even the horses on this trade road, also have to run carefully, because no one knows whether there is a pothole in the road covered by grass, as long as the horse's leg is running, stepping on the pothole, it is bound to be injured, if it is light, it will only fall, and if it is heavy, it is possible to break the leg directly.

Cassirer had walked this road and knew about it, so when he got on the trade road, he reminded everyone.

However, even a reminder was useless, and his own horse had to be killed because he accidentally stepped on the hole and broke his leg, for which Angoulan's horse was given to Cassirer to ride, and Angoulan shared a horse with Mirva.

After that, everyone slowed down and carefully chose the path that their predecessors had already taken, so that there were no more accidents.

Not long after they got on the trade route, they came across a caravan from the town of Pasha, which was located at the end of the trade road on the Maitina side, and was a distribution point for goods.

Because of the long distance from the Duchy of Toxant to the city of Maitina, and the plain of Magdeira in between, which is infested with bandits, if the caravan travels all the way, it will have to take a lot of risks, and it may lose all its money at any time.

Therefore, the vast majority of the caravans of the Duchy of Touscent would choose the town of Pasha as the end point, resell their goods to the caravans of Maitina at a relatively low price, and obtain low-priced goods from the Maitina caravans.

Although this will reduce the benefits a lot, it is much safer, and because the distance is shorter, you can make more trips a year, so that the final benefit will not be reduced too much.

Madtina caravans that buy goods from Pasha hire wandering knights, mercenaries, or bounty hunters as escorts to cross the plains of Magdeira, known as the Plains of Bandits, and transport their goods to the city of Medina for a large reward.

In this case, many wandering knights who have become hired guards here every year will go to the Duchy of Touscent to participate in the knights' conventions, and after the knights' conferences, they will return to Pasha to wait for the caravan to be hired.

After encountering the caravan, Geralt suggested that everyone follow the caravan, one is to take care of each other, and the other is not easy to go the wrong way.

Among their group, the only person who walked this road was Cassirer, but he was walking with the large army at the time, and he didn't remember how the road was taken at all, on this trade route, there were a large number of side roads leading to other towns, and there were even some trap forks deliberately forged by some bandits, so he needed a person who often walked this road as a guide, so the moment he saw the caravan, Geralt immediately made a suggestion.

Everyone agreed with this suggestion, and also mocked Cassirer as the unreliable leader of the way, just now Cassirer almost led them to the wrong path, or Leo found the traces of the caravan and returned to the right path, otherwise he might have taken a detour.

In the face of Geralt's group of peer requests, the leader of the caravan was a little hesitant, it stands to reason that there are some soldiers who join the caravan and do not need to pay commissions, and they can have more people to assist in the battle in case of danger, which is simply a good thing that is difficult to find with a lantern, but the question is whether Geralt and his party are credible, or directly whether Geralt and others are deliberately arranged by the bandits.

On more than one occasion in the past, there have been cases where bandits secretly arranged internal responses in caravans, and suddenly turned back during robbery, causing the caravan defenses to collapse, goods to be robbed, and casualties.

Now, not only will they be suspicious of the origin and purpose of every caravan of people who suddenly appear on the road and ask to accompany them, but even the wandering knights, mercenaries, and bounty hunters hired in Pasha Town will also look for those who have good credit, and only when they are forced to do so, they will look for the kind of people who have no details, but this kind of people who have no details will not dare to recruit too much.

Geralt didn't show much disgust at the caravan's caution, and told them his identity at the request of the caravan leader.

When the caravan leader heard Geralt's name and saw the wolf badge on his chest, his original vigilant expression weakened a little, because although the butcher of Bravican was not very good, it was widely spread, and there were rumors in the Nilfgard Empire, and Geralt was an unpopular witcher, but his reputation was not bad, at least there were no rumors of part-time bandits or the like.

Later, after Cassirer reported his full name and said his family, the caravan leader's vigilant look was reduced a lot, and the Epp Chirak family was also a famous family in the Niffergard Empire, and the current head of the Niffergard royal family, Grufeld, was Cassirer's father.

However, when Sylvia took off her helmet and introduced herself, the caravan, especially the wandering knights, were all stunned, and they all looked at Sylvia in surprise.

Many of these hired wandering knights had attended the Knights' Tournament last year, and had left Towcente after the Knights' Tournament had ended, before the snow had completely blocked the mountains, and they had all heard of the Sylvian Knights of Light, and some of them had even seen Silvia when she was still alone on the mission.

After that, although the trade route has been temporarily cut off due to the closure of the mountain, the contact between the outside world and the Pottery has not been severed, and communication tools such as carrier pigeons can still transmit the events of the Principality of Pottery to the outside world.

Undoubtedly, the most striking thing in the Duchy of Touscent this winter, in addition to the never-before-seen cold wave closing the mountains, is the emergence and rise of the Knights of Light, a mysterious foreign female knight.

Not to mention that the knight of light obtained the baptism of the five virtues of the knight, obtained the weapon blessed by the fairy of the lake, or the establishment of the knight of light, or the establishment of the church of the fairy in the lake, etc., all of which can be called miracles, any one thing is enough to become a knight's lifelong work, but these things are actually done by one person, and in just one month.

So much so that after this news came out, many people thought that it was completely a myth made up by the Towcent, but as more and more news came out, everyone was sure that this was indeed the real thing, and a legend appeared in Towcente.

Outside of Tousente, many people were surprised and curious about this female knight, and many people who had not seen Sylvia's true face thought that Sylvia was a monster as strong as a man, otherwise, it would be impossible for a normal woman to accomplish such a feat in their opinion.

Although there are people who have seen Sylvia's true face to refute these rumors, these people are only a minority after all, and they cannot play any role at all.

However, the thing that pushed Sylvia's prestige to the top was that Sylvia led the newly established Knights of Light and several wandering knights to completely defeat the Belhaven Domain, nearly seventy percent of the nobles of the Belhaven Territory were captured by it, and all the troops of the Belhaven Territory were defeated by it.

Although there are many wandering knights in this world, and there are many wandering knights, in the past so many years, there has never been a wandering knight order that can defeat the regular army of a certain territory on a frontal battlefield, and it is such a large territory as Belhavin Territory.

Undoubtedly, after the news spread, the first thing that appeared was doubt, because in the eyes of the vast majority of people, what had never happened before was likely to be fake now, and even the Wandering Knights, a group that was in great need of glorious achievements, were skeptical of this sudden and amazing record.

But with the news that followed, and the news published in the Empire Gazette of Nefgaard, everyone was convinced that this achievement was real, and the Knight of Light had accomplished a shocking feat.

Since then, the Knight of Light has almost become a spiritual idol in the eyes of all the wandering knights, and some people even think that the Knight of Light is the incarnation of the fairy in the lake, the incarnation of the five virtues of the knight, etc., all in all, the Knight of Light also has a lot of influence in this world.

The wandering knights hired by this caravan this time can be said to be all believers of the Knight of Light, and they all plan to go to the Duchy of Touscent to apply to join the Knight of Light after completing this escort mission, just as the snow in the mountains melts and the trade route of Touscent is reopened.

Almost before Geralt and the others appeared, the wandering knights still mentioned the incident, but they never thought that the idol they wanted to see would appear in front of them, which made them shocked and delighted.

One of the older wandering knights quickly stabilized his mood, walked up to Sylvia, and saluted Sylvia with great respect: "Your Excellency, you may not remember, I once fought side by side with you, and it was a lifelong honor in my heart, and I am extremely happy to see you again." ”

Sylvia looked at the wandering knight with a smile and said, "Bridger of Anglin, I took the lead in clearing a team of bandits and killed two bandits, and I haven't forgotten your demeanor at that time!"

"I didn't expect my lord to remember this," Hearing Sylvia's words, the wandering knight's face showed an incomparably strong joy, as if he had obtained some treasure.

After that, there were wandering knights who came to greet one after another, among which the wandering knights who had communicated with Sylvia, she could easily say their identities and names and the scenes they had communicated, and those wandering knights who had not met reported their names after reporting their names, she could also quickly tell their past achievements, so that everyone who talked to him was like a spring breeze, and there was a faint idea of seeing him as a leader in his heart.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Sylvia decides to form another knight order at this time, then this knight order will be formed in an instant, and all the wandering knights here will be extremely happy to join the knights and serve Sylvia.

Because of Sylvia's appearance, the leader of the caravan also let down his last bit of vigilance, and happily invited Geralt and others to join the caravan, and even said that all the expenses on the road were paid by the caravan, as for Leo, who had been hidden in the armor from beginning to end, he was ignored, even if someone noticed him, he would be considered Sylvia's bodyguard or something.

However, this misunderstanding was soon contacted, because when the caravan prepared a tent for Sylvia, Sylvia said that she would live in a tent with Leo, and at this time, everyone suddenly thought that Sylvia was rumored to have a partner, and this partner was still very close.

At this time, everyone began to re-examine Leo's special existence, which was still easy to be overlooked even if he was wearing a set of gorgeous armor.

They would not despise Leo because of his obscurity, although the people in the caravan could not compare their knowledge with scholars, they had developed some eyesight to survive to this day, and they could see that most of the decisions made by Sylvia and Leo when they got along were based on Leo.

A man who can be so loved by a legendary woman like Sylvia is definitely not an ordinary person, not to mention that Leo who is wearing the armor of the Abyss Walker himself has a strong power, standing there, it is good not to pay attention to him, once you notice him, you will feel as if you are pressed by a mountain, which makes people have a kind of illusion of breathlessness, and they will subtly lower their heads and dare not look directly at him.

The commotion about Leo's identity didn't last long, and the crowd refocused on Sylvia and tentatively asked why Sylvia was here?

Sylvia smiled and replied, "My mission in Towcente has ended, and the position and power there are of no use to me, and I have decided to embark on a new journey!"
