Chapter 3 Su Bai

(PS: Happy Christmas Eve, everyone~Apple has wood~)

Early the next morning, outside the north gate of Blue Ear City.

"I'm Les, the head of this caravan now. ”

When Merge, who was carrying a heavy sword, approached the caravan parked outside the North City Gate, a middle-aged man in the caravan with a mediocre appearance, about forty years old, and wearing a blue power suit, looked at Merge and spoke.

Murge nodded, "I'm Merge Nan, and I'll separate from the caravan after it crosses the Bitter Goose River." ”

"These are the caravan's guards, and some are friends who went on the road with the caravan to Yue Fancheng. Rice turned to the side and gave Merg a rough introduction to the two dozen people behind him.

Merge looked at the more than two dozen people around the caravan, these people were generally around three-star fighters and four-star fighters, except for the caravan's main leader Les, who was a five-star magician, only one of the tall young men who was relatively strong and looked like the captain of the guard was a five-star fighter.

In Merge's perception of the caravan, the strength of the guards and principals of the caravan is not high, and it can even be said that it is very weak. For a caravan that travels a long distance and travels between two cities, the average strength is only four stars, and the highest combat power is only a five-star mage and a five-star fighter, which will make this caravan encounter many unknown dangers along the way.

The strength level of Rice's caravan made Merge feel a little puzzled. Moreover, the magic crystal cars used by this caravan to carry goods were also surprisingly small, only three. However, Merge didn't ask in detail, after all, this caravan was contacted by the head of the Taihu group, so there shouldn't be much of a problem.

"When are we leaving?" said Merger, retracting his gaze, not mentioning the doubts in his mind.

"There was another friend who didn't arrive, so we waited for him, and when he came, we set off. But Rice, who has been dealing with people all year round, could not see the doubts in Merger's heart.

Merge was the person entrusted to the caravan by the border guards, and Les roughly knew that Merge's identity was not simple, so he was afraid that Merge would have unnecessary doubts, so he continued to speak: "This time, the caravan went to Yue Fancheng without carrying any goods and groceries. ”

"Little friend, you also know that although the duration of this beast tide is much shorter than the last one, there are still many guards of our caravan who volunteered to participate in the beast tide battle and died in the beast tide. At the mention of this, Rice's eyes couldn't help but feel a little sad and lonely.

Les stretched out his finger and pointed to the three magic crystal carts and said, "These three carts contain the relics of the warriors who died in the beast tide this time. ”

Although Les did not fully explain the reason for the lack of men and goods in this caravan, Merge still understood the reason at once.

After the arrival of the beast tide, Taihu ordered to prohibit the travel of the north gate of the Blue Ear City, and in the process of fighting against the invasion of the beast tide, not only a large number of soldiers of the border guards died, but also many soldiers who volunteered to participate in the battle in the Blue Ear City were sacrificed in the dangerous beast tide.

This is also why the caravan in charge of Les has few guards, the average strength of the guards is not high, and there are only three magic crystal cars transporting goods. When Merge understood why, the doubts in his mind disappeared. After expressing his pity and respect for the fallen warriors, he stopped talking and stood near the caravan caravan, waiting for the last man in Rice's mouth to arrive.

"Didn't your friends come?"

Half a ring, before the person in Rice's mouth arrived, Les approached Merge's side, smiled at Merge, and asked.

"Some of my friends had already left first, and I didn't call them to see me off. Personally, I don't really like this parting scene, so I just came alone. Merge bowed slightly.

"Temperamental, Xiaoyou is a little similar to me. Hearing this, Les nodded and said a little closely, "This caravan was not originally in charge of me, I was just a person who helped the former director to take care of the goods." But the former chief and the former chief of the guard, as well as hundreds of brothers, all died in the beast tide, so I am the temporary presiding officer. ”

Les was still worried that Merge was suspicious of the caravan, and said in a low voice: "The caravan is on the road this time to bring the relics of the brothers home. So, even if you encounter a situation on the road, there will not be much danger. ”

"It's the same, there's nothing valuable in the eyes of others. Merge nodded, knowing that Rice was still afraid that he was suspicious.

"This is to the point, the things in this are worth a thousand gold in the eyes of the family members of the caravan headquarters, and in the eyes of others, they are indeed a pile of rotten clothes and old objects. ”

Rice had a few more shabby words with Merge, explained some general itinerary and route, and then got up and left.

Merge raised his eyes to look at Rice, who was talking to the captain of the guard, and then at the people gathered around the convoy, then put his hands in his pockets, lowered his head, and closed his eyes to calculate the complex alchemy circuit of a seven-star battle armor recorded in the mysterious notes.

"Meg Nan, right? I'm Cassel, an adventurer traveling with a caravan. ”

Hearing this, Merge opened his eyes and looked up at the person who was talking in front of him.

The adventurer who called himself Cassel standing in front of Merge looked rather shabby, with several traces of tinkering on his clothes, and an average appearance, squinted eyes, some sharp-beaked monkey gills, and a little slippery eyes when looking around.

Cassel stretched out his right hand to shake Merger's hand and get acquainted.

However, Merge nodded expressionlessly, did not stretch out his hand, but said directly: "I am Merge Nan." ”

"Did you just say that after the caravan crossed the Kugoose River, you were going to Makuten City when you separated from the caravan?" Seeing Merge raise his head, Cassel didn't mean to shake hands with him, so he had to withdraw his outstretched right hand in a curtive manner, and said with a smile.

Merge frowned slightly, looked directly at Cassel with indifferent eyes, and after a long silence, nodded to Cassel.

Seeing this, Cassel didn't mind Merge's dislike, and continued without any embarrassment: "The Star Academy should be in the Curtain Sky City, are you going to study in the Star Academy? But as far as I know, the enrollment period of the Star Academy has ended, right?"

"I'm just going to Makuten City to find someone to do something, and I don't care if the enrollment of the Star Academy is over or not. Merge was a little disgusted by Cassel's inquiry.

Hearing that Merge's voice was a little cold, Cassel smiled, stopped asking, and turned to close to one of the guards.

Of course, Merge is not an ice cube face that mortals ignore, but this adventurer named Cassel, with his sinister eyes and inquiring questions, makes Merge very disliked. Therefore, for Cassel, who came forward to make friends, Merge's attitude was very cold, even disgusted.

You must know that Merge was born with five senses beyond ordinary people, and the first feeling of seeing people is often more accurate. So, after expressing very directly the idea that he did not want to be acquainted with Cassel, Merge continued to keep his head silent.

............

"Rice! I'm late!"

After about a quarter of an hour, a loud voice came from inside the half-concealed north gate.

Hearing this man's shout, the more than 20 people in the caravan, whether chatting or closing their eyes to recuperate, all turned their heads in unison and looked into the city gate.

Immediately, a fat man who was very obese and even looked a little bloated, dressed in a low-level adventurer's outfit that was tightly taut, ran towards the caravan with great difficulty, constantly wiping the sweat from his forehead as he ran.

Everyone couldn't help but smile when they looked at the fat man's cute and somewhat bulky steps.

"Su Bai, you can be regarded as here. ”

When the fat man Su Bai panted and ran in front of everyone, Les stepped forward and patted Su Bai's fat shoulder, and laughed.

"I'm sorry guys, I'm too late, I'm sorry. Su Bai, who looked a little tired, wiped the sweat beads off his face with his chubby hands, and then bowed to everyone very hard and said.

"Su Bai, who are you fooling? You haven't wiped off the rice residue on your mouth, you must have forgotten to eat because you were forgetful of eating. The captain of the guard in the caravan was obviously familiar with the fat man named Su Bai, and when he saw Su Bai sweating profusely, he grinned loudly and teased.

Su Bai hurriedly wiped the residue from the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "I really overslept, and then ...... Hungry, went to eat something again. ”

"I know!" The chief of the guard laughed loudly when he heard this, stepped forward and raised his hand to pat Su Bai a few times, making the fat on Su Bai's body shake.

"Okay, since Su Bai Xiaoyou is here, let's go. Les was also smiling, but when he saw that everyone had arrived, he raised his hand to greet everyone and prepared to go.

"Let's go!"

The captain of the guard drew his sword and stabbed it into the sky, then slammed the sharp sword into its scabbard.

With a loud shout from the chief of the guard, the three magic crystal cars turned on the alchemy drives inside. The wheels turned, and the people on the car were not in a hurry and moved towards Yue Fancheng in the distance.
