Chapter 38: The Strange Caravan (2)

Saying this, Nicholas's expression became serious, and he said to Ao Xingfeng: "It was from that time that I realized that this caravan was different. ”

......

Go back to half a year ago when Nicholas returned to the hotel with his escort.

Many people know that the mystic master Gondol has a younger brother, but few people know that Gondor's younger brother is also a gifted arcane mage, and this Nicholas Music Hall in Cyntia City is one of Nicholas's masterpieces.

Nicholas could clearly feel that the two guards were stunned when they stepped into the hotel, and it seemed that they had discovered the fluctuation of magic power, and at first Nicholas did not suspect anything, and there was nothing wrong with the Khufu caravan being able to hire a strong man as a guard.

As everyone knows, the mage's magic tower is full of countless secrets, and in the magic tower the mage is the real master, and all abnormal movements in this space will appear under the mage's surveillance.

And this hotel is the strange magic tower that Nicholas has transformed, when the two guards fully step into it, a secret and strange mana fluctuation is completely exposed to Nicholas's detection, and the source of this mana fluctuation comes from the faces of the two guards.

Under the mana interference in this magic tower, the faces of the two guards began to blur, and they appeared in strange waves under the fluctuations of mana interference, but the two guards were not aware of this, and Nicholas only glanced at it slightly, and did not say anything.

"Alright, let's put it all here. Nicholas put his daily necessities on a table, then turned to the two guards.

The two guards nodded, gently lowered the chest, and hurried away.

Nicholas was left alone in his chair, lost in thought, it was not unusual for the Khufu caravan to ask strong men to escort him, and it was not uncommon for some strong men to hide their identities for some reason, but the combination of the two, as well as the previous group of guards who were lukewarm to the person suspected of being the owner of the caravan, this caravan became strange.

......

Picking up a glass of wine from the edge of the small pool, and then taking a big sip, Nicholas said slowly: "I am naturally curious, and when I encounter this kind of thing, I usually want to find out, and this time is no exception..."

......

Nicholas's hotel business has always been very cold, and the main reason is caused by Nicholas himself, Nicholas, who doesn't like ordinary people to disturb, released a simple spell outside the hotel, and people with low strength will subconsciously forget about this hotel.

Anyway, there was no business, so Nicholas, who was preoccupied, closed the door, used his magic to lift the treasure chest and follow him to the peacock room to decorate.

Even though he was embellishing the treasures in his shop, Nicholas's heart was still tied to the strange caravan, so he decided to take a sneak peek tonight.

Late at night, Nicholas sneaked out of the hotel, then closed the gate and sneaked out of the city along the dark corners of the street.

However, Sintia City is different from other cities, even after three watches in the middle of the night, there are still a few pedestrians on the streets, but most of these pedestrians are old drunkards, indulging in the night taverns of Sintia City.

"Well, Nicholas, where are you going, and why isn't your hotel open today?" asked a young man who was staggering on the side of the street, seeing Nicholas's face clearly, and Nicholas frowned, because there was a big smell of wine in the young man's mouth.

"Hiccup, come on, come on, go to your store and have a few drinks. The young man walked towards Nicholas drunkly, although it seemed that his steps were staggering, but every step the young man took, the dust on the ground would be washed away in advance, and the slender handguard sword at his waist faintly exuded a fierce killing intent.

Nicholas originally wanted to make a cameo appearance as a stalker, but now he was bumped into his identity, but he was not angry, but replied helplessly: "Leon, you are drunk again, but I still have important things to do today, so I won't continue to drink with you." ”

The young man named Leon smirked, staggered Nicholas's body and walked towards the rear, and said as he walked: "It's easy to say, if you have something important, go and get busy first, and I'll find you another day, hahahaha." ”

Looking back at Leon's departing figure, Nicholas sighed a little lonely: "Alas, such a genius swordsman has actually fallen to this point, it's a pity." ”

After Leon walked away, Nicholas came back to his senses and began to concentrate on his actions, sneaking out of the city.

Not far from the city of Sintia, there are many caravans and horse-drawn carriages, where many caravans and horse-drawn carriages are parked, it is a gathering place for merchants, I don't know whether they want to save money on accommodation or get used to the life of eating and sleeping in the open, the city obviously has a warm stove and soft beds, but this group of merchants insists on stationing outside the city.

Of course, there is also the reason for Sintia City, after entering the mountain gate, it is actually completely the boundary of Sintia City, even if it is on the outskirts of Sintia City, there will be no danger, here merchants do not have to worry about being attacked by wild beasts at night, let alone worrying about wandering rebels, bandits and robbers, so merchants will rest assured that they will be stationed here.

Under the shelter of night, Nicholas, dressed in black, crawled on the grass and crawled towards the merchant gathering place little by little.

In the middle of the caravan and wagon, there were many bonfires, where the merchants chatted and laughed about what they had seen and heard, and exchanged information on the price of goods, and no one noticed that a dark figure had quietly hidden under the caravan.

Nicholas looked carefully at the merchants sitting around the campfire, but unfortunately did not find the figure he wanted to see, and looked around, but did not see a single person from the Khufu caravan that he had seen during the day.

After changing positions in the wagon and carriage, Nicholas finally saw the carriage he had seen during the day, so he secretly climbed over, and his body was covered with a faint layer of magic fluctuations, which was used to deceive the perception of the strong.

It is easy to say that Nicholas is also a mystic, if he really has the heart, after careful preparation, no one will be able to detect his existence, even if he is already within walking distance of the target.

Coming to the ground of the carriage of the Khufu caravan, Nicholas put his ear to the low carriage and listened carefully to the movement inside.

"You guys.... Fit me... Words, I... How can I help... A muffled voice came from inside the car, but it was so indistinct that Nicholas couldn't hear the full content.

However, hearing the intermittent words just now, Nicholas's curiosity rose even more like wildfire, like a kitten scratching his heart, and he couldn't stand it, so the bold Nicholas quietly opened a very small hole in the carriage.
