Volume 1 Beginning to Show Strength Chapter 53 Undercover (1)
In the process of trading, food is the most important thing to pay attention to to prevent it from being poisoned.
In the caravans of Noerchen Point, the food is guarded by special people, whether it is lunch or dinner, the ingredients taken out must be checked two or three times before they can reach the cook.
The chef, on the other hand, needs to complete the cooking under the noses of more than four people, and there is an unwritten rule that the cooked food must be tasted by the chef's assistant and others first, and then tasted by the other ordinary members of the caravan, and then finally it is the turn of the chef and the adventurers.
In a sense, the first person to try it is considered a drug tester, which is a bit cruel, but it has to be done, this is the most important task before Miss Kate's coming-of-age ceremony, and she has to be so cautious.
However, there are still adventurers who solve the food problem on their own, so the food needs to be more careful not to be drugged by others, naturally Paul's idea of wanting to be drugged is actually difficult to put into action, and every adventurer's vigilance is not so easy to deceive.
During the four-day journey, there were no people encountered, and there were many demonic beasts encountered, but most of them were some second-order groups of demonic beasts, and the two adventure groups were quickly dealt with, but they added another ingredient to the camp.
Everyone was roasting meat in front of the fire, eating sweetly, but no one knew that someone had already begun to act in secret, and all this was just the calm before the storm.
Tonight the sneaky man was still as usual, and when the crowd fell asleep, he sneaked out, and everything he did was carried out in Byron's eyes, and today, there was another man who also saw the scene clearly.
The sneaky man left, Byron and another person, Savier, glanced at each other, only to see Byron's figure flashing, and after a while, he saw a small bird caught by Byron in his hand, and the beak was pinched tightly by Byron and could not make a sound.
This is a first-order magical beast spirit turtledove, which is also a non-aggressive type of magical beast, with fast flight speed and small size, and its cubs are often domesticated and used by people to pass on messages.
Byron took the note from the dove's feet and handed it to Sivir, who, in the faint moonlight, read the note with only a few words, and then rolled it into a cylinder again and put it back on the turtledove's legs, and then released it.
"Do you know what that guy looks like?" asked Sivir.
"Of course, you might as well follow and see, he's not fast. The two of them immediately accelerated, and when they walked together, Sivir was shocked, Byron's speed was obviously faster than Sivir, and Sivir, as a warrior, also had a speed that specially trained himself, but at the moment it was still not as fast as Byron.
"Where is this because the other party is not fast, it is because you are too fast. ”
Sivir couldn't figure out how Byron trained his speed, but fortunately, Sivir was not too difficult, and he was still able to follow Byron under the speed.
Seeing that Sivir was a little falling behind him, Byron silently recited a spell in his mouth, and a magic blessed Sivir's body, and it was the "Wind Blessing" that temporarily increased Sivir's speed, which made the two people move forward side by side.
The two men both rushed to the outskirts of the camp, and Sivir fell into deep thought as the sneaky man swaggered into the camp.
"This matter needs to be discussed with Miss Kate. Sivir was silent for a moment.
"What if Miss Kate has someone like this in front of her. ”
Byron's words undoubtedly made Sivir silent again, this kind of thing is not impossible, Sivir looked at the guard wearing the family badge of the Nolchenhorn in front of him, and sighed slightly.
"What do you think we should do now. ”
"What will be counted. ”
"I want to hear about it. ”
"That person will find an opportunity to enter your tent at lunchtime and dinner time to find the route map, you just need to replace the details of the real route selection with the fake one after you leave the tent with Miss Kate, and let the thief take the false information, and wait for Kate and the others to come back, you can change it back, so that what they get is false information. ”
"You're saying I lied to everyone?"
"Yes, if you haven't fully decided on the details of the route, that's still useful. "But it's all at this time, and the route has already been decided, and it's already time to deal with some details.
"What if the route had already been decided. ”
"What I said just now can't deceive the other party, but it may cause the other party to be suspicious, so it's better to change the route suddenly and surprise. ”
"Why don't you find them out and deal with this hidden danger, wouldn't it be better that way?"
"No, no, no. Byron waved his hand and said: "This hidden danger may not be the only one, maybe there are more people, and if it is found out now, it will inevitably cause internal strife, in this wilderness, there will be internal contradictions, but it is not wise, first stabilize them for the time being, and then deal with these people when they reach Durham Town safely, it is not too late." ”
"Of course, if we get to our destination safely. ”
Sivir thought for a moment, nodded, and agreed, indeed as Byron said, judging from the reaction of the night watch just now, he guessed this, this matter is not so simple.
The two men discussed it for a while, and then they returned to the camp and ran into Laulin and White, who were on the night watch, and when they saw Byron and his regiment commander returning from the woods, they looked at each other and let out a small hehe, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Sivir returned to her tent and began to sort out the map and look at the details of the route for the next few days, Byron may not know, but she knew what the would-be enemy was deliberately up to.
It should be two or three days before you will be close to the Kaolin fork, and there are two options at this fork in the road, one is like a cracked concave road, and the other is the Kaolin Forest with many monsters.
Although the former did not encounter too many invasions of demonic beasts, if there were villains who knew that they were going to pass through here and set up an ambush, it would undoubtedly be the biggest disaster for them, and the terrain there was extremely conducive to ambushes.
As for the Kaolin Forest, there are many magical beasts that can be encountered in the route they have passed, and there are many fourth-order ones, and the fifth-order may also appear, which is also a challenge for them to escort the caravan.
Sivir was a little unsure about paying attention, he needed a help to analyze together, so he called Joey, Joey is the deputy head of the adventure group, and he has excellent brains, and many times things are handled by Joey to help deal with.
Summoned so late, Joey was a little puzzled, "What's the matter, Captain." His face didn't look good, he was woken up just after falling asleep, but he still maintained his usual attitude.
"It's a big deal about the safety of everyone in the camp. Sivir's seriousness made Joey immediately refreshed, and then leaned over and began to listen to Sivir tell him everything about the matter.
"Well, if it's as Lucifal said, his solution would be the best, but for the time being, I'm leaning towards the Kaolin Forest. ”
Joey continued, "The enemy is prepared, and it is absolutely impossible for us to escape, or even to resist. ”
Joey was scribbling the imaginary map in his mind, and at the same time, assuming that he was the ambush party, what would he do, so that Sivir could see it at a glance.
"Kaolin Forest, maybe we can make a path. ”
"But it's not easy to convince others. ”
