"Can you still hold on, do you want to rest for a while?" Roger tugged on the reins and looked back at the panting Oliver, a little helpless.

If it weren't for his inability to operate alchemy witch tools, he probably wouldn't have let Oliver run with him, and compared to himself, Oliver's physical strength was really not suitable for long journeys.

"I ...... I'm fine, no problem!" Oliver still had that cynical smile on his face, trying to make himself look normal, but his breathless appearance undoubtedly betrayed him.

"Okay, don't die, you have to live to save face. Roger straightened up, looked around, and said without looking back, "It's not very far from Liberty City, so there's no need to be in such a hurry." ”

Roger knew Oliver's physical strength, and followed him for two days and one night, not to mention a weak wizard apprentice like Oliver, even an ordinary beginner knight would feel a little overwhelmed.

But fortunately, it is not far from the destination.

"Don't worry, with this thing, no matter who it is, as long as it comes close to this five hundred miles with that one's witch pet, it will be sensed and will definitely not be able to run away. Oliver took something resembling a pocket watch from his pocket, looked at it, and said to Roger.

Roger nodded, not paying much attention.

According to Oliver, it had only been three days since his mentor had summoned him, and it would have taken a lot of time for Liberty City to come from somewhere else, let alone find the witch pet and catch it.

Now all I have to do is wait for the rabbit.

Because the only teleportation witch array in the continent is in the city of freedom.

Ordinary people naturally don't know about this, but for the upper echelons of the continent, it should be considered an open secret, and for people like Roger and Oliver who have left the continent through the teleportation witch array many times, it is not unfamiliar.

As for the rumored lord of Liberty City, although he is not a real wizard, he is indeed a powerful wizard apprentice.

Moreover, the background of this city lord is quite not simple, and his actions have always been mysterious, and he does not communicate much with other wizard apprentices on the continent, and Roger has only met him once.

"Hopefully he won't join the fray, otherwise it's going to be a bit tricky. Roger glanced in the direction of Liberty City, and a figure flashed in his mind.

Although the lord of the Free City was only a wizard apprentice, he had a completely different feeling from Oliver, Roger had been out for many years, and he had seen not a thousand but eight hundred wizard apprentices.

What can make him feel threatened, he can count it on one hand, and the city lord is one of them, but if the other party really snatches it, it is impossible for Roger to back down.

"This last chance, no one wants me to take half a step back. Roger's eyes were resolute.

Da Da Da, Da -

Just as Roger and the others were slowing down at the rear of the caravan, the people of the caravan obviously noticed the two people following behind, and immediately sent a guard to inquire.

When Oliver handed over his noble name to the guard, the guard rode back to the caravan, and after a while a few more hours a man who looked like a steward rode up to the two men.

"It turned out to be Count Oliver, rude. The man in charge bowed slightly in Oliver's direction on his horse, and continued, "It is getting late, and my master asks the Earl if he wishes to go with him, and he may have a good idea. ”

Judging by this person's appearance, he should not be from the Leighton Kingdom, otherwise it is impossible not to have heard of Oliver's name, as for his attitude towards Oliver, it is only out of respect for a nobleman.

As for the identity of Count Oliver, he didn't doubt it too much, because very few people in the mainland would forge the name of the nobles, and once discovered, they would immediately be put on the wanted list of various countries, and they would also be hunted by the nobles of various countries in private, which was extremely unwise.

Oliver glanced at Roger, who was supposed to be regarded as a guard, and saw that he put on a look of your decision, and then said to the steward: "It's okay, then thank you very much." ”

As he spoke, the two of them followed the steward and caught up with the caravan's brigade.

"Looks like we won't be able to make it tonight. Looking at the sky, Roger judged in his heart.

If he was traveling alone, it wouldn't make much difference to him day and night, but seeing Oliver's half-dead appearance, it would be better to rest.

Soon after the two of them arrived at the caravan, the caravan found a relatively spacious place and simply set up camp, because by this time it was gradually getting dark.

The steward, who had dealt with Roger and the others, brought relatively sumptuous food and water to the two of them, and he was followed by two people, an old man dressed richly dressed and a blonde girl who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old.

"This is Count Oliver, who was inconvenient in the carriage before, so please don't be surprised. The richly dressed old man clenched his fist to his chest and smiled apologetically at Oliver.

The fist salute is one of the common rituals in the continent.

"You're welcome, it's us who bothered. Oliver replied with a pleasant face, his impression of the noble old man in front of him was not bad, after all, the mouth of a cannibal is soft.

Seeing that Oliver was a nobleman but more easy-going, the noble old man did not leave in a hurry, but asked the steward to bring his food and talked with him.

The noble old man's name is Depu, and he is a national named the Flame Kingdom in the western part of the continent, and he runs a small-scale chamber of commerce there.

The blonde girl behind him is his granddaughter Ruili, who came to Freedom City this time mainly to bring his granddaughter to see the world, and also to buy some foreign specialties to sell.

This is the reason why most traders come to the Free City.

"I don't know if the two of you ......are here this time," the old man named Depp was about to ask, but was stopped by Roger, who was sitting next to Oliver, raising his hand.

"Don't say anything yet. ”

Depp's words stopped abruptly, but he looked at Roger with a little dissatisfaction, and the blonde girl Ruili behind him, seeing that Roger's 'guard' was so rude to his grandfather, he was even more directly dissatisfied: "What's the matter with you guy, my grandfather is talking to your master, how can you ......"

"Shut up!" Roger was listening to something, but was interrupted by the blonde girl, who yelled at the blonde girl impatiently.

"You ......" Depp was already dissatisfied with Roger, and at this moment, seeing that he was still disrespectful to his granddaughter, who was regarded as a pearl in his palm, he suddenly felt a little angry, but seeing that Oliver, the 'master', did not speak, he was not good at teaching Roger a lesson.

However, Roger's attention was not in front of him at this time, and he didn't care at all whether the grandparents and grandchildren in front of him were dissatisfied with his rude behavior.

Because just now, he heard something very unusual.

"Robbers? Doesn't look like ......"

Roger listened intently, but shook his head in a moment.

"Tell those under your command to be on guard. Roger suddenly said to Depp.

"On guard, what?" Depp asked, holding back his dissatisfaction.

"There's a team to ride...... Forget it, it's too late. Roger was about to say something, but suddenly shook his head and said no more.

"What's wrong, Roger?"

Oliver, who was sitting on the side, knew Roger's temperament, and he would not be untargeted, and his face became rare and serious, and he asked.

Before Roger could answer, a terrible howl suddenly sounded outside the tent where several people were, and then a guard was heard shouting loudly: "Enemy attack! There is an enemy attack!!"

Immediately after, there was the sound of fierce weapons fighting.

The old man Depp, who was sitting opposite Roger and the two, changed color after hearing the roar of the guard, and quickly stood up and ordered the person in charge: "You go out quickly and see what happened." ”

The steward seemed a little bold at this time, nodded without changing his face, and walked out.

"Robbers? What else should I do? When Oliver heard the shouting outside, he didn't pay much attention to it, and regained his previous relaxed appearance.

You know, there is a mid-level wizard apprentice and a great knight in this tent, and if you want to besiege the two of them, you may not be able to see enough legions.

It was the rugged Tunguska Mountains, and it was impossible to gather so many people, so what did he have to worry about.

"It's better to go out and have a look. Roger stood up.

If he heard him correctly, the group of people who suddenly attacked the caravan outside the tent were probably not robbers, and Roger was no stranger to the sound of the uniform march.

"The robbers can not have this kind of formation, they should be well-trained cavalry......" Roger judged.

Oliver also stood up when he heard this, and seemed a little curious about the situation outside.

As the owner of the caravan, Depp had already put Roger's impoliteness behind him at this time, and seeing that the steward hadn't come back for a long time, he took his granddaughter and gritted his teeth and walked out.

The goods outside are equivalent to more than half of his net worth, and if he is robbed, although he will not go bankrupt directly, the consequences will be extremely disastrous.

Roger and the others followed out of the tent.
