Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Caravan in the Wilderness
A few miles away from the city of Garr, a caravan was slowly approaching the city of Garr. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It was a large caravan, with more than fifty guards alone.
If you add servants and slaves, it has a scale of hundreds of people.
This is relatively common in the underground world, without enough guards, it is impossible for the caravan to do business in the underground world, they will be eaten by the rogues without a single bone, and there is no way to retaliate.
There was a sound of horses' hooves.
The leader of the caravan escort rode his horse to the carriage in the center of the caravan, and the environment near it was much better than before, and even the road was expanded to more than ten meters wide.
"Hosts, we are already close to the city of Garl and will be there very quickly. ”
A curtain was lifted from the window, and then the thin-faced Solo poked his head out, looked around, and said in a deep voice, "Then speed up, I can't wait to meet our partner." ”
One of the guards rode up to the captain and whispered a few words to him.
"Master, there seems to be some situation ahead, I'll go over and take a look. The captain of the guard, with Solo's permission, galloped with the guard towards the place where the situation was in front of him.
The caravan's advance had slowed down a bit, and some of the guards had already drawn their weapons, after all, it was still some distance from Gar City, and it was not impossible to encounter some rogues.
"Captain, look!"
There was a simple checkpoint in the middle of the road, and dozens of soldiers were stationed next to it, all in uniform armor and walking at the same pace, clearly a disciplined team.
The captain of the guard looked at these soldiers with some doubts, did they belong to the city of Gar? From the master, he knew that the city of Gar, which originally belonged to a group of black dwarves, had changed hands, and these soldiers were most likely the subordinates of the new master of the city of Gar.
Driving to the checkpoint, the captain of the guard waved his left hand to show that he had no ill intentions, and then asked, "Do you belong to Gar City?" ”
The soldiers stared coldly at the captain of the guard without saying a word, and their expressions did not fluctuate at all. This made the captain of the guard feel as if he was facing a group of emotionless statues.
A warrior who was clearly different from the other soldiers walked out slowly, he looked at the captain of the guard, and said in a deep voice: "We do belong to the city of Gar, we are the fourth squad of the city defense of the city of Gar, and I am their captain. ”
"I know you, you can get through. The lizardfolk in the vicinity are moving a little, so you'd better be careful. ”
The captain of the guard nodded, and turned his horse to head for the caravan.
From the body of this city defense squad leader, he felt a powerful aura, an aura that was even more powerful than his seventh level.
So he was very cautious and did not say much, and told Solo what he had seen.
"Na... Let the eighth-level warriors be stationed in this wilderness, it seems that the power of our dear little friend is much stronger!"
Solo waved his staff and sighed faintly.
"Go ahead and tell the people below to be honest and don't get me in trouble. ”
"Yes, my lord, I will pass on your orders. The captain of the guard bowed his head and respectfully conveyed Solo's words.
When passing through the checkpoint, Solo opened the curtain and silently looked at the soldiers stationed there, with strange looks on his face from time to time.
"That captain is indeed at the realm of the eighth level, it's not a fraud, the rest of the soldiers have an average of level five strength, and this is just a detachment used to garrison the field, hehe..."
Solo closed his eyes, released his spiritual power, carefully touched the surroundings, and muttered: "There are at least ten wanderers hidden nearby, and the one with the highest strength has at least seven levels of strength..."
"Strange, these soldiers feel strange, but alas, can't be studied carefully. Do you want... I got one or two people in the black hands..."
"Forget it, if you let them know, if it is unpleasant again, it will not be worth it to affect the great cause, everything should be focused on the great cause..."
"Hey, this is..."
Solo made a sound in surprise, hurriedly opened the curtain, and looked directly above the carriage.
A golden light flashed, and Arnold's figure appeared there, flying in front of Solo out of thin air, Arnold laughed loudly: "Your Excellency Solo, I haven't seen you for a long time!"
"Heh... It's been a long time. Solomon laughed, and anyone who was thinking about something bad would inevitably be a little embarrassed when the Lord suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Good stuff. Arnold pulled out a golden scroll out of nowhere, and tapped his palm with a snap. He looked at the materials in the caravan and said with sincere emotion: "The materials brought by Your Excellency Solo are really good things, and the frost-patterned copper in my Gar City is simply rubbish compared to these." What a generous gesture your Excellency Solo!"
Solo's gaze swept up and down with Arnold's hand, and he could feel that this scroll was full of spatial energy, and it was very likely to be a spatial teleportation scroll.
Solo looked at Arnold with a smile, and he said in a harmonious voice: "These are all small things, not worth mentioning, and being able to become friends with His Excellency Arnold is the most important thing." This is just the first batch, and there are more precious ones to come, which will be sent one after another. ”
Arnold nodded again and again, and said with a happy smile: "According to our agreement, the cost of these batches of materials will be owed first, and we will pay them one by one when we have a good time." After all, there are some people in the family who don't want to see our young master rise too quickly. ”
"That's, that's, naturally according to the agreement. Solo stared intently at the golden scroll, and said in response.
Anyway, these batches of materials are all paid in advance with the reserved funds of the Chamber of Commerce, and they have nothing to do with his Solo, so why should he oppose it.
Arnold landed on the carriage, handed the scroll in his hand directly to Solo, and said: "This is a little bit of my care, and I hope that Your Excellency Solo will not dislike it!"
Solo put the scroll into the ring without a trace, and asked kindly, "Is the soul ink plate that I gave to Lord Arnold last time still useful?"
"Haha, how can the things made by Lord Solo not be easy to use......"
The two of them laughed as they walked into the carriage.
Receiving Solo's order, the whole caravan moved again and hurried towards the city of Gar.
Arnold's appearance brought a lot of conversation to the guards, but they didn't dare to talk about him around a powerful mage, but only glanced in the direction of the carriage from time to time.
The soldiers stationed at the checkpoint also divided into small groups and rushed to the city with the caravan, they were much more disciplined than the caravan guards.
Except for a few whispered conversations with the captain of the guard, the rest of the time he didn't say a word and hurried silently.
In a moment, Solo's voice of surprise was heard from inside the carriage.
"Lord Arnold, you have broken through to the eighth level!"
"Huh... It's a fluke, it's just a fluke..."
