Volume 1 Chapter 364 Out of the Mountain
At the speed of the caravan, it was not long before Marcus came to the fork in the road.
Sure enough, as Marcus said, it was a Y-shaped fork in the road, with the right fork leading to Fengcheng in the south, and the left fork leading slightly to the depths of the Changbai Mountains.
And Ren Tianxiang and they heard Marcus say that because they had crossed the North Pole line of the Henglu Mountain Range at this time, their current direction was to the south.
Speaking of which, I have to mention the interesting orientation on the Ryujin Continent, especially the direction close to the Yokoriku Mountain Range here.
The geography on the Dragon God Continent is very advanced, as early as the first unified country on the continent in the Archean Era, during the Wind and Snow Empire, there were clear location specifications, and at that time, the map of the Dragon God Continent had been drawn by early geographers, and even some of the place names named at that time are still used on the continent until now.
And because of the special geographical location of the Dragon God Continent, the Wind and Snow Empire named the North Pole of the planet as the center of the map on the map - in fact, the center of the Henglu Mountain Range - and named the half of the continent where the capital of the Wind and Snow Empire Tiandu is located the North Continent, and the other half as the South Continent.
Because of the particularity of the Henglu Mountains, the Wind and Snow Empire put forward the concept of the Arctic Line on the basis of the North Pole, that is, the meridian line that is almost parallel to the Henglu Mountain Range is used as the Arctic Line, and the North Pole Line is used as the north within 300 kilometers on both sides of this meridian line, and the length of the Arctic Line is equal to the length of the Henglu Mountain Range, which is considered to span the entire continent.
In other words, as long as it is within 300 kilometers on each side of the Yokoku Mountains, the direction facing the Yokoku Mountains is north, and the direction parallel to the Yokochi Mountains is right-east-left-west.
That is to say, now Ren Tianxiang and their passage through the Henglu Mountains, although they first go to the north, and after crossing the North Pole line, they are going to the south, but in fact, according to the modern geographical orientation, they have always walked towards the east or the northeast and southeast.
This is a special cultural habit on the mainland, anyway, Ren Tianxiang came to study the geography of the Dragon God Continent after learning modern geography, but it took a lot of effort to figure out these things. Thinking about the time when he was forced by Xuanyuan Qingtian to study "Geography of the Mainland" and went crazy, Ren Tianxiang broke out in a cold sweat - if nothing else, it was too difficult.
Seeing that the caravan was approaching the fork in the road, Wang Zhen remembered what Marcus had said to him in Mingde City before, and there was news that someone might attack them, so he clenched the spear in his hand and shouted: "All pay attention, you are about to pass through the fork in the road, and you will lift your spirit to me." ”
With Wang Zhen's order, the guards on the side of the carriage all clenched the long knives in their hands, and at the same time, the magic circle light film released from the carriage became more and more condensed, and it seemed to be much stronger.
Hearing Wang Zhen say this at the front of the caravan, Ren Tianxiang slowly approached Marcus and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Klingberg, is it true that what you said this morning that someone would attack the caravan?"
Questioned by Ren Tianxiang, Marcus glanced at Ren Tianxiang, then showed a sly smile, but said without concealment: "Ren Gongzi, although I know that you are the most expensive, I still want to ask you to pay attention to your rhetoric - what I said this morning is that someone may attack us when we get the news...... Well, probably ......"
As he said this, Marcus specifically reread and repeated the word "maybe", and it was clear what he was trying to mean.
After receiving such an answer, although he still had some guesses before, Ren Tianxiang's expression was still much more exciting in an instant, and then he asked with a dry smile: "So, Mr. Klingberg, are you deceiving Mr. Wang Zhen? If Mr. Wang Zhen knows, wouldn't there be some conflict between the two of you?"
Hearing Ren Tianxiang's inquiry, Marcus immediately made an aggrieved expression, and said again and again: "Eh, Ren Gongzi, this sentence can't be said nonsense, what does it mean that I deceived Mr. Wang Zhen? I, Klingnberg, have always spoken and counted, and never deceived others...... It's not going to work.
Besides, I swear in the name of my king that someone may strike against us...... Well, it's possible to attack us, and of course, those horse thieves are also likely to attack all caravans, after all, that's what a horse thief should do.
If Ren Gongzi still doesn't believe it, then you can look at the fork in the road on the left, so that you can understand everything. ”
According to what Marcus said, Ren Tianxiang looked at the fork on the left, where he could directly see the snow-covered mountain road, because no one had repaired it, the road there looked very difficult to walk, and it could even be said that this road had not been well rested, and it could not be regarded as a road at all.
There was no one on this road, it looked like a secluded path, and there was nothing special. But with Marcus's reminder, Ren Tianxiang specially used his spiritual power to perceive it, and sure enough, he noticed some spiritual power fluctuations on this road, which were not large, that is, fluctuations that a few low-level monks could emit.
There are a lot of people hiding in the dead corners of the hidden path, Ren Tianxiang relied on his own perception, and roughly estimated that there were probably forty or fifty people in ambush here, most of them were human-level, and only a few of them could barely reach the level of the demon level, but they were only at the realm of the initial level of the demon level, and there were no more powerful monks.
Ren Tianxiang looked at Marcus with a somewhat surprised expression.
Marcus also saw that Ren Tianxiang had noticed that there was an ambush in the fork in the road on the left, so he smiled and said: "Ren Gongzi, there is nothing strange about this, these horse thieves are lying in ambush over there every day, waiting for the right prey to appear."
All you see are small minions, and when they stop their prey, there will be follow-up horse thieves who will burn and loot. Although there are no specific statistics, according to the estimation of several of our chambers of commerce, there are about hundreds of horse thieves and men and women hidden in the Changbai Mountains, which is also a lot of numbers.
However, Ren Gongzi can rest assured that the strength of our Mingwei caravan is still there, and under normal circumstances, these horse thieves do not dare to act rashly when facing our caravan. ”
With the Phantom-level monk Midie Wei III in charge, can the strength be insufficient?
Ren Tianxiang sneered, and then remembered his guess last night, so he asked: "By the way, Mr. Klingberg, I have always been curious, who contacted you for us? You also know that people like us don't know the details of each other, and we can't even thank us." ”
"Ren Gongzi is talking about Xiao San. Marcus smiled, "I don't know the details of Xiao San, but I heard what the regional head of the Dragon King Empire of our Mingwei Chamber of Commerce said, he was sent by the headquarters of Heart City, and I heard that he has a very good background, and he came here just because the headquarters sent him here to experience it." ”
"I see. Ren Tianxiang nodded, and since he had already got the answer he wanted, he didn't ask anymore.
Marcus smiled slightly, and then saw Wang Zhenzheng, who was originally walking at the front of the caravan, riding his horse towards the end of the caravan, so he said to Ren Tianxiang: "Ren Gongzi, then I will leave first." This has already crossed the fork in the road, and in front of it is the place where our Chamber of Commerce Dragon King Empire region is responsible, and now I am the team leader, and I have to switch places with Mr. Wang Zhen. ”
"Well, hard work Mr. Klingberg. ”
At this time, Wang Zhen also walked over from the head of the caravan, first nodded to Ren Tianxiang and them, and then said to Marcus: "Mr. Klingberg, it's time for you to lead the team." ”
"Okay, hard work, Mr. Wang Zhen. Marcus smiled, then rode his horse towards the head of the caravan, without saying a word to Ren Tianxiang and them.
After Marcus walked away, Wang Zhencai silently glanced at Ren Tianxiang, and then said seemingly casually: "Your relationship with Mr. Klingberg seems to be very good...... Judging by your appearance, shouldn't you be from the Star Emperor's country?"
Ren Tianxiang was stunned by Wang Zhen's question, and quickly thought in his heart.
Is this because he has been suspected by Wang Zhen, so Wang Zhen came to test them?
Their disguised identities on Marcus's side should be half-dragons of the dragon clan and the snowman in the south of the Dragon King Empire, but on the surface, their identities are still from the Star Emperor country, so Wang Zhen suspects that these Star Emperors are too close to Marcus?
However, Wang Zhenhuai didn't doubt it, and he had to mix up this issue first. So he didn't let Wang Zhen wait long, Ren Tianxiang replied, "Uh...... My father and Mr. Marcus are old friends, and Mr. Marcus asked someone to come to us for help. ”
Hearing Ren Tianxiang's explanation, Wang Zhen suddenly couldn't hold back his laughter.
This explanation is a bit interesting. But there is no need to disguise in front of me, your identity Mr. Yang Ying has already told me, all the adults of the Dragon Troupe. ”
Ren Tianxiang's eyes widened, and he looked at Wang Zhen with a look of surprise, looking at the latter in disbelief. Of course, Wang Zhen's words were also heard by the star spirits, and the three girls also looked at Wang Zhen with surprise on their faces.
Facing the surprised eyes of the four, Wang Zhen shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "The actions of the Secret Language Division are bigger than you think. If you allow the people of the Dragon King Empire to plant eyeliner in the caravan, then we will not be allowed to speak in the secret language division, isn't that ridiculous?"
"Mr. Wang is from the Secret Language?" asked Xinglingluo.
"Yes, the Secret Whisper Division has been ordered to escort all the adults of the Dragon Regiment to the Dragon King Empire this time. Wang Zhen nodded and said, "The front is out of the mountain, and after arriving in the Dragon King Empire, the Secret Language Division can play very little role, please be careful." ”
"Thank you Mr. Wang for your concern. ”
"Alright, you see, we're going out of the mountain. ”
