After fiddling with it for a long time to no avail, Elcid was not a mage and was helpless against the communication magic guide that had struck for some reason, and finally Elcid also sighed and put the magic guide back again. As he was about to go to bed and rest, Elcid suddenly noticed a group of soldiers on the street running quickly under the window, and there seemed to be some strange sound in the night sky in the distance.

Although he was a little surprised, Elcid didn't think about it that much.

After a night's rest, the Saint Seiya who got up early the next morning immediately began to prepare for a trip to the Zegus Kingdom, paid a small amount of money in the tavern, and soon found out some information about the ancient country of the Zegus Kingdom, which is the only country in the western part of the continent bordering the secluded steppe inhabited by the orc tribes, which mainly worships the god of the earth, Uznok, the land area is vast but sparsely populated, and has always served as a bridge between the secular kingdom of humans and the orc tribes, even in the most tense period between humans and orcs, the Zegus Kingdom has not broken the diplomatic ties between the orc tribes。

Elcid and the others are now located in the trading city of Qom on the border with the Zegus Empire, and many caravans enter and leave the two countries every day to trade special products from the orc steppe, so it is not difficult to find a convoy to go to the Zegus Kingdom, in fact, there are many caravans on the mainland that will also work part-time to earn extra money when they go to a region to trade.

Soon Elcid found a caravan to go to the Zegus Kingdom, and interestingly, after the other party learned that the five Saint Seiya were also going to the Zegus Kingdom with the caravan, the caravan steward said that he could not charge a penny.

In the caravan's opinion, with five powerful warriors accompanying it, it can be safer along the way, and the security in the western countries of the mainland is also good, but occasionally there will be some bandits, but recently because of the undead, some murderous bandits have chosen to surrender themselves under the indiscriminate slaughter of the undead. After all, it is better to stay in prison than to be dismantled by the undead, and after being killed by the undead, you may also become an undead and the soul will not be able to be freed from eternal torture, and it is easier to go to the gallows than to become this outcome.

"At ten o'clock in two days, our caravan will depart, and it will take about four days to reach the border city of Yukka in the kingdom of Zegus," a fat steward with glasses and a little fat looks like he explained the situation to Elcid.

"Four days, I see. ”

Elcid nodded: "Then we will prepare dry food and supplies in the next two days, and then trouble you." ”

The use of horse-drawn carriages as a means of transportation is conceivable in terms of speed. Usually the travelers who take the caravan will be informed in advance of the approximate time of the trip, while the average traveler will prepare the dry food needed for the journey in advance, of course, those who have a little money can also pay the caravan directly to let the caravan take care of the food along the way.

"Oh~no! No, Mr. Elcid, our caravan can provide you with food. The steward hurriedly said with a smile, for these five powerful warriors with mysterious identities, it would definitely not be a loss to have some friendly relations with them, and that little extra food and drink expenses were nothing at all.

Looking at the other party's enthusiastic look, Elcid did not continue to refuse. After thanking him, he also returned to the hotel and began to prepare for the two-day trip with everyone, although the other party promised to provide free food for his side during the four-day trip, but in order to prevent special circumstances, the Saint Seiya still purchased some food.

The era of the Saint Seiya of Elcid's generation was in the 18th century, when they were sent out by the Sanctuary to carry out missions, the dry food carried by the Saint Seiya could only be some dry cakes and cured meats and other easy-to-preserve food, and it was similar in the other world, in the absence of vacuum technology and canned food, the only way to eat some fresh food on the journey was to hunt and pick wild vegetables, but now with space equipment, the situation has improved slightly.

In space equipment, the flow of time can be said to be temporarily at a standstill. All kinds of food can be stored for a long time when put into the space equipment, and the space equipment of Elcid and others is in addition to the necessary potions and magic props. Now it's also packed with some fresh food.

Because there were still two days to go, the Saint Seiya also took advantage of this time to browse this prosperous trading city located on the border, the streets were lined with open shops and traders during the day, and in addition to humans, small but muscular dwarves could be seen from time to time on the road, and occasionally some rough orcs could be seen walking by the road.

Speaking of orcs. That's really the right word 'beast', at least none of the orcs I saw along the way were two meters tall, but it seems that except for a few Saint Seiya who were outsiders, the other pedestrians in the city seemed to be commonplace and didn't react much.

"It's really tall, but it seems to be a little shorter than the minotaurs in Ulduar. Caludia said as she nibbled on a bag of apples.

The orc, who was watching, seemed to sense something and looked back at Caludia. But then he turned his head and bargained with the vendor.

"What a peaceful sight, where humans live with orcs and dwarves together, it's like going back to the age of mythology. ”

"Or maybe the world is still in the age of mythology. ”

Elcid and Alubioni also sighed in their hearts, this other world does have a cruel side, but it also has its own unique gentleness and beauty.

At this time, a team of knights at the other end of the street was escorting the convoy to this place slowly, and the leading knight was holding the flag of the Kingdom of Córdoba to prove that the team represented the official of the Kingdom of Córdoba.

As the convoy passed, Elcid noticed that a coffin-like object was placed on the many carriages that passed, and that there were priestly men on either side of the car.

"It's miserable. ”

"Hey~ I obviously fled into the city, but I still can't escape death. ”

"The undead are terrible, too. ”

The passers-by talked for a while, so that Elcid was a little puzzled by what was going on, and at this time, a silver steed stopped in front of Elcid's eyes, and the female knight on the steed looked at the Capricorn Saint Seiya condescendingly and said slowly: "These are the people who were attacked by the undead outside the city before. ”

"You are Your Excellency the Knight of Filin┉┉" Elcid naturally recognized the female knight who had met yesterday: "Didn't all the civilians who traveled with us evacuate to the city?

"Because they were scratched by the undead, many people didn't even survive 24 hours before they became undead under the plague. ”

Fei Lin took off her helmet and looked at the coffin on the carriage and sighed: "It could have been possible to carry out rapid freezing to put the injured in a state of suspended animation to avoid turning into undead, but I didn't expect the undead to go deep into the interior, and there is no water mage in the city that can perform rapid freezing for the injured, so it can only be routinely isolated and treated, but the results are not ideal." In addition, some citizens who entered the city deliberately concealed the fact that their relatives were scratched by the undead in order to avoid being quarantined, and as a result, when their relatives were transformed into undead, they were immediately attacked and eventually died. ”

"Yes!" Elcid looked at the coffins, although the expression on the face of the lone tall sword saint did not change, the pure eyes revealed a look of pity.

Clenching his fists, Elcid hated why he hadn't eliminated the leader of the undead, and the fleeing Death Knight now didn't know where to continue spreading death and destruction.

"I still have something to do to say goodbye first, during this time, as a traveler, please be careful, don't think that you will underestimate the other party after defeating some undead, remember that once you are scratched by the other party or infected with the plague of the undead, then your life will be over. ”

Feline admonished Elcid one last time, and the female knight put on her helmet again and left with the convoy.

After the convoy left, the heavy mood of Elcid did not have the idea of continuing to visit the city, but returned to the hotel to rest, two days later at noon, the five people also arrived on time to the reserved Chamber of Commerce convoy station, this time to the Zeguth Empire There are a lot of people, it can be said that there are two convoys at the same time, because there was a caravan attacked by the undead before, even if there are five Saints to join, the convoy still hires a local mercenary group, and there are a total of forty or fifty carriages at least five or six hundred people。

The numerical advantage also reassured both travelers and merchants, and there was basically no bandit group that would dare to attack such a large convoy except for the undead who didn't know what fear was.

"Huh, is that you?"

Not long after boarding the carriage, several Saint Seiyas suddenly discovered that there was a familiar figure on the carriage.

"Sometimes fate is really unpredictable. The blonde-haired and golden-eyed man in the carriage was sitting upright in the carriage and looked at Elcid and the others and said.

Perenlius!

Elcid recognized the man's identity at a glance, and the last time he asked his group in the tavern, a transcendent man named Purenlius.

"Are you also going to the kingdom of Zegus?"

"Looks like we're on the same itinerary. ”

When the other party nodded, Elcid also had to admit that fate does like to play tricks on people sometimes, and he didn't want to have too much contact with this mysterious identity, but in the end, he didn't expect that they would be improvised, and they would become travelers on the same destination.
