Chapter 4: The Black Iron Rose

As the center of Grimm Province, there are many villages and towns around Odin City, and these villages and towns are naturally different in different parts of the outer part of the Warcraft Forest, and this has become a cash cow in the eyes of the major chambers of commerce in Odin City.

Although the Warcraft Forest has been a little unquiet recently, merchants have always been unprofitable people.

Early in the morning, the 'Black Iron Rose' Chamber of Commerce assembled at the south gate of Odin City. Their destination was Fire Wolf Town on the southern outskirts of the Warcraft Forest, although the journey was not long, but it was a short section of the Warcraft Forest on the way, so in addition to sending its own chamber of commerce guards, Black Iron Rose also hired a lot of mercenaries to escort them.

The person in charge of this caravan is Claude, the owner of the tavern, and the reason why Chen Dong, or Brian, chose to work in the tavern is actually to take this ride.

"Mr. Claude. As soon as Brian arrived at Simon, he saw the tavernkeeper already directing his men to carry the goods.

"Oh, it's Brian, you're here. The middle-aged fat man turned his head, greeted with a smile, and then asked with concern, "Your body, are you okay?"

"Thanks to you. Brian replied with a smile, but his eyes turned to a young man standing beside Claude, who was looking at him curiously.

"Come, I'll introduce you. Claude leaned sideways to give up half of his position, turned his head to Brian and said, "This is my nephew who is not a good man, this kid has never believed that I know the students of Odin Academy. How's that going, Harry, you're going to see a real person, right?"

"Are you really a student of Odin Academy?" Harry looked at Brian incredulously, as the other party's clothing and temperament were too ordinary.

"It's like a fake. Brian grinned, held out his right hand to Harry, and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Harry looked at Brian's outstretched right hand, stunned for a moment, and then suddenly reacted, quickly grabbed Brian's right hand with both hands, and shook it excitedly: "I am, it's really an honor to know you." ”

"Hehe, Harry boy, don't be overjoyed, the people in Odin Academy are not all nobles, and the students are also divided into three, six, nine, and so on. ”

Before Brian could reply, an extremely unkind voice came from behind Harry.

Brian followed the sound and looked over and saw that it was actually several of Black Iron Rose's guards.

"Marco, what do you mean by that?" Harry asked as he heard the other man's strange tone, and looked angrily at the bald man at the head.

"Hey, I mean, hillbillies are always hillbillies! Don't think you can get to the top with a little luck!" Marco said casually, glancing at Claude and in a sarcastic tone.

"Hahaha, that's it! Harry, working hard is the last word, don't think about being able to climb the noble lord all day long!"

Evan was right. Harry, you don't want to think about how the nobles of Odin City can be such a poor and sour kid!"

The two guards standing next to Marco laughed loudly.

"You!" Harry saw the look in his defiant eyes, of course, and the last thing he could accept was for someone to insult his uncle.

He "rubbed" a step forward, and was about to make a move, but was suddenly held down by the hand on his shoulder.

"Captain Marco, you shouldn't have come here to talk to us, right?" Claude glanced at the guards and mercenaries not far away, and said in a calm tone, "If you're ready over there, tell them to go." ”

"Hmph!" Marco could only snort coldly when he saw Claude's tepid look, and turned around and walked back.

"You two get ready, we're going to leave soon. Claude turned his head and said a gentle word to the two of them, and then walked over to the caravan.

It wasn't until the two of them left that Brian turned to Harry and asked, "Harry, that Marco, who is it?"

"That guy is a stingy guy!" said Harry indignantly.

It was from Harry's mouth that Brian learned the general outline of what had happened.

Claude was originally a small merchant in Firewolf Town, and by chance, Claude was favored by the vice president of the Black Iron Chamber of Commerce, and then brought back to Odin City. Although Claude has no talent for magic, he seems to be a natural businessman, and he has only been in the Black Iron Chamber of Commerce for a short time, and he has brought a lot of profits to the Chamber of Commerce, and then the Chamber of Commerce has entrusted a tavern to Claude to take care of.

And this trip to Fire Wolf Town, Marco's brother Mark was originally in charge, but he didn't want to be replaced by Claude by the Chamber of Commerce.

On the one hand, it is naturally because Claude was born in Fire Wolf Town, and on the other hand, it does not mean to test Claude.

Claude obviously saw this, so he ignored Marco's presumptuous moves.

After the Chamber of Commerce convoy left the west gate of Odin City, the speed slowly increased.

Before nightfall, they had to rush to a small plain on the outskirts of the Monster Forest, which used to be a small village, and even though there were still many ruins, it was a good place for caravans to repair.

Brian acts as a groom in the middle and rear of the caravan, and there are naturally mercenaries and chamber of commerce guards around the caravan to be vigilant, in fact, this is also one of the most important reasons why Brian chose to follow the chamber of commerce to Fire Wolf Town, after all, whether it is a monster or a bandit, when you see a caravan with so many people, you have to weigh it yourself.

"Alas, exhausted, it's almost here at last. Harry, who was riding slowly beside Brian, stretched and yawned.

"The first day was a pretty good day. Claude in the carriage also poked his head out, enjoying the fresh air outside.

Brian nodded, and wanted to say a word or two, but suddenly turned his head to look at the forest on the right side of the road, and then closed his eyes!

At this moment, Brian's perception was scattered like a circular power grid.

"Knock knock! knock knock!"

Then, many heavy voices sounded in his head, and they were coming from far and near!

Brian opened his eyes abruptly and rubbed his brow.

This kind of use of mental power was researched by Brian last night, although it is very simple and effective, but it is also very consuming of mental power.

"Mr. Claude, there's a herd of beasts in the forest on the left!"

Brian shook his head, turned his head and said quickly to Claude.

"What?" The middle-aged fat man heard Brian's words, and subconsciously glanced at the guards and mercenaries on the right, and found that they didn't react at all.

"You mean Warcraft?" Claude asked, uncertain.

"That's right, hurry up and put them on guard in advance, or they will probably break up the caravan formation in a minute. Brian nodded.

"Could it be that you heard it wrong?" Claude's words were already very tactful, you know, the sound of the appearance of the monsters has always been not small, and their position is some distance from the left side of the caravan, even the guards and mercenaries over there did not hear the movement, how could Brian know in advance?

"It's too late to explain, Mr. Claude, and trust me. Sensing that the demonic beast in his perception was getting closer and closer, Brian urged again.

"It's... All right. Claude realized that Brian was not out of purpose, so he stepped out of the carriage and shouted, "Stop!"

"What's wrong?"

"Why did you stop all of a sudden?"

The rest of the convoy stopped, though full of doubts.

"There is a monster approaching on the left, be careful. Since Claude chose to believe Brian's words, he naturally no longer hesitated.

"Hah, Warcraft, Supervisor Claude, Are you sure you heard it right?" As soon as Claude's voice fell, Marco, who was walking in front of the team, rode forward, and his tone was full of disdain: "There are Warcraft approaching, why can't I hear ......?"

Claude looked at Marko's exaggerated face without the slightest anger, because the next moment, there was a lot of trees falling to the ground and heavy footsteps on the left side of the group.

At the same time, several huge beast shadows surged out of the forest!

"Whew!"
