CHAPTER XX: The Journey I
At night, by the Organ Coast.
Under the dark and hazy night sky, the never-ending sea breeze gently washes the waves on the shore, rolling up white waves, adding the only touch of color to the night of the Organ Sea!
On a path not far from the Organ Coast, two large and delicate carriages were walking on the night path.
Two tall and armored coachmen were sitting in front of the carriage, driving smoothly on the path in the light of the two oil lamps hanging in front of the carriage.
These two carriages are the Gordon group led by the black-robed wizard, after the recruitment of wizard apprentices has ended.
With just a brief introduction, Gordon and the four apprentices with wizarding qualifications were taken by the black-robed wizard on a journey back to the wizarding organization.
In a carriage behind, the five apprentices were sitting in it, chatting from time to time.
However, the carriage was spacious enough that five people sat in one cart and didn't feel crowded.
In the carriage, Gordon sat in a row with Josie, who had short yellow hair, and Lake, and across from her, Emily and Claes, who had blond hair, sat side by side.
Gordon was now sitting by the window, closing his eyes, blowing in the gentle sea breeze, listening to Josie who was sitting next to him boasting about his heroic 'exploits' with a few others.
"At that time, when facing that lone wolf, I was the only one who dared to stand up...... Finally, I plunged my sword into one of the lone wolf's eyes and slammed it in the head a few times before I finally killed the lone wolf!"
"Wow, Josie, were you really fourteen at the time?"
Lake immediately asked.
"Of course!"
“......”
In the carriage, Josie spoke very energetically, and the swarthy Lake on the side was also a good listener.
From time to time, there was a very appropriate exclamation, which made Josie's heroic 'story' more and more vigorous and endless.
However, I have to say that Josie's 'story' is still well told.
Even Emily, who had been sitting on the sidelines and had not spoken much, looked at Josie intently and listened with relish.
Even Claes, who was accustomed to hearing countless compliments and flattery, listened to Josie's first story with great interest and couldn't help asking:
"Josie, according to what you said, when you were fourteen years old, you had the strength to approach a high-level warrior, so isn't it almost the strength of a knight now?"
"Of course!"
"Claes, if it weren't for the lack of conditions now, I would have been able to prove it to you now!"
Being able to show off his strength in front of Claes, Josie felt that he had often been beaten by his father before, and he was not beaten in vain, as long as he could catch up with the beautiful Claes, Josie felt that everything was worth it.
Josie said this deliberately louder so that Gordon could hear her.
In the following story, Josie didn't forget to lead the topic to Gordon, hoping that Gordon couldn't help but talk, and then hit him himself.
It's just that Josie gradually noticed that Gordon had been closing his eyes all the time and didn't pay attention to his own meaning at all, so he stopped thinking and continued to talk about his heroic story.
Of course, Gordon was not interested in paying attention to Josie's yellow-haired boy, to be exact, Gordon didn't even bother with the few people in the carriage.
Think about it, an old monster who has lived for more than a thousand years, has gone through countless things, and has great strength.
How could you not hear the simple loopholes in Josie's heroic 'story', how could you not guess Josie's thoughts and thoughts, and the general thoughts of the good-looking Miss Claes opposite.
For Gordon, these are just teenagers who are not mentally mature enough.
Even though Gordon himself is still only a teenager the same size as them.
......
The night slowly deepened,
A gentle sea breeze, blowing from the organ sea, across the shore, through somewhat sparse coconut groves, all the way to the window edge of Gordon.
At this time, in the carriage,
Gordon was already immersed in meditation, and Josie had already stopped speaking, and was drinking water with a dry mouth.
The swarthy Lake had fallen into a sweet sleep, the beautiful Claes was sleepy and crumbling, and only the freckled Emily was still lying on the edge of the other carriage window, staring at the darkness outside the window in a daze.
Under the night sky, in the endless darkness,
The two carriages, glittering with a faint light, were moving slowly and gently along the coastal path, as lonely and conspicuous as a lighthouse in the darkness.
At this moment, in the darkness not far behind the carriage, a pair of green points of light suddenly appeared.
Soon, the second and third pairs of green spots appeared.
Gradually, there were more and more green points of light, and finally, after a low howl, these points of light began to move towards the carriage en masse.
At this time, the black-robed wizard sitting in the carriage in front of him suddenly opened his eyes.
Looking at the wolves that suddenly rushed out of the darkness, Emily's face was shocked, and she quickly patted Claes beside her, and said with a little stammer:
"Quick... Hurry up...!"
"There are wolves... OMG!"
The occupants of the carriage were awakened by Emily's voice, and Gordon opened his eyes from meditation.
At this time, the guards who were driving were obviously aware of the approaching wolves, and the carriage was stopped.
"Oh... Damn!"
"So many wolves... OMG!"
Looking at the wolves that were circling around the carriage not far away, there was a wail in the carriage.
Gordon looked at the wolves not far from the window with a calm face, and he was thinking about whether he could get out of this group of wolves if he made his own move.
But it's just that after Gordon carefully looked at the wolves, Gordon knew that he could get out of the encirclement alone, but it wouldn't be simple.
The wolf is a bloodthirsty, cruel, cunning and patient creature.
If you encounter a lone wolf or a small group of wolves, it is easier to deal with, but with such a large number of steppe wolves in front of you, the danger immediately increases several times.
Time passed slowly, and several people in the carriage also remembered that there was a powerful wizard in the carriage in front of them, and they were not so afraid.
They were all staring intently at the wolves not far outside, and it seemed that as long as a wolf pounced, several people were ready to run towards the carriage in front.
"Whew..."
After a low howl, a wolf king who was a full circle larger than the other wolves in the pack stepped out.
The wolf king looked at the two carriages surrounded in the middle with a calm face, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly opened his mouth and bared his teeth to show his snow-white sharp fangs.
Just as the wolf king was about to howl, Gordon suddenly felt a strong mental fluctuation, centered on the two carriages in front of him, and quickly spread out to the wolves outside.
In the next second, the expected howl of the wolf king did not come out, but the wolves beside him whined as if they were collectively attacked.
Immediately after, a ball of hot fireballs the size of an adult's head flew out of the first carriage and quickly flew in the direction of the wolf king.
"Bang...!"
A violent explosion erupted into the sky, and fireballs exploded among the wolves.
