Chapter 21: The Beginning of the Journey

On January 25, 5922 Noria Calendar, Delin Tariq began his journey, the General History of Noria Chronicles.

After a month of high-intensity training and Delin's investment regardless of the cost, all the recruited fighters have improved a lot, and even two of them have broken through to level eight, and Ramor has also broken through to level nine, that is, Delin already has two level nine, four level eight and 16 level seven fighters around him, as well as two mysterious thieves.

As for Kate, his situation is more special, he was originally an 11-level warrior, but his body has suffered heavy damage, and his strength is about the same as that of a seventh-level warrior, but in terms of combat strategy and experience, he is the best of all. Although Ramour is a talent that can be created, but, like Delin, it takes time to temper.

In the early morning of January 25, the sun was shining, and the snow had melted away yesterday. The gate of the Marquis's Mansion slowly opened, and two teams of guards lined up on both sides, accompanied by the crisp sound of horses' hooves, and a total of 27 horsemen and three carriages came out in a row.

After a farewell and farewell, Delin rode at the forefront of the procession, without looking back or stopping.

The news that Delin Tariq was going to the mainland had already spread in Alan City, and when many people waited on the side of the road to see the honor, they couldn't see where he was. There are two handsome guys in the team, but they look different from the ones on the painting!

Naturally, Delin hid in the carriage, driven by orc slaves. Orc slaves are popular in the market because they are not only hard-working and survivable, but also have a wide variety and large number to meet almost every need. There are a total of 5 kobold slaves, which Delin bought from Marfa, 10,000 gold coins, which is not expensive or cheap. Kobolds are good at herding and early warning, which is too good for Delin. Those who can be taken out as commodities are naturally trained slaves, such slaves can understand human language, and can also have some basic skills, such as driving, camping, cooking, fighting...... Of course, if you want a slave that is of special use, you'll have to ask the slave dealer first, and they'll do their best to accommodate your extra request, provided you have enough gold.

Not all of the people who keep an eye on the Delin team have the intention of catching a glimpse of the Baron. When the convoy passed by a restaurant, a man upstairs immediately became excited, and then ran away directly, but was stopped. He was anxious to leave, but wouldn't the thugs just let you go away and want to eat the overlord's meal? Finally, the man finally understood, threw down the two gold coins, and left with a grin! This made the thugs inexplicable, they couldn't eat two gold coins a day in their restaurant, right?

Delin sat on the carriage moving slowly, holding an inch square crystal in each hand, and there was a faint surge of power inside the crystal, which seemed to have no color and seemed to be any color, and a feeling of great desire to have it would arise in your heart. This is magic, and in Delin's hand is the incomparably precious magic crystal, which is also a good thing bought from Marfa.

The magic crystal is a hard currency between the high-level leaders of the Noria continent in the true sense. For high-level mages, gold coins are no longer of much use, and a large number of gold coins will occupy a lot of space. In comparison, the Mana Crystal is very useful! because it is a storage device for mana, and it can be used where it can be used. Magic, for a magician, is wealth, strength, and life.

The price of the Mana Crystal in Noria is 100,000 gold coins, and in the Badlands, the price is even higher.

Delin bought 10 at the lowest price, and he was worried that it would not be enough, but later he realized that he had overestimated himself before. For nearly twenty days, Delin had been training with his warriors every morning, taking medicinal baths in the afternoon, and then, occasionally, "disposing of" the corpses of one or two high-level demonic beasts. Other than that, Delin is all about absorbing magic. However, the standard unit of mana contained in the Mana Crystal was not finally exhausted until this point.

Looking at the broken crystal in his hand, even if he is as rich as Delin, he has to admit that "magic is something built on an economic foundation". Absorbing mana crystals to increase the total amount of mana is no faster than meditation, and Delin knows that the biggest effect of mana crystals is to restore mana, and meditation is conducive to expanding the upper limit of mana. It's like pouring water into a tank and expanding a tank.

Suddenly, Delin felt that the carriage had stopped.

"Young master, the guards at the city gate stopped our convoy, saying that they had never seen our family emblem. Their captain of the guard said he wanted to see you. "A soldier ran to the carriage window and reported to Delin.

"Ask him to come here!"

The coat of arms that Delin designed for himself is a pyramid with a snail and an eagle. This is indeed unique in the kingdom of Alan. Delin didn't want to take its original meaning, but used it to remind himself that the realm determines the height! In the Barren Land, the highest achievement is the Sky Knight, and in the whole of Noria, the legend is only one prince. He can't put his whole life in this narrow space, and he doesn't want to be blinded by a leaf again.

The captain of the guard was invited to Delin's carriage, and Delin came out to talk to him for a while, and after a small bag of gold coins, he was easily let go.

The carriage was not fast, it was like an outing, and in fact, Delin was not in a hurry at all. Opening the window and looking at the scenery outside, Delin suddenly remembered that it was the first time he was in the mood to see the scenery. The last time I was to participate in the trial, but I was scared by Tim's guy, how could I have the heart to see the scenery? Thinking of this, Delin couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

For three consecutive days, the convoy traveled more than 100 kilometers a day from sunrise to sunset, a speed that could only be maintained in the densely populated and well-maintained core of the kingdom, otherwise it would take a lot of time just to set up camp.

On the fourth day, Kate ordered the pace of progress to be slowed down. This is determined according to the national conditions of the Alan Kingdom, and the previous places were the territories or fiefs of the royal family and many great nobles, and the situation was naturally good. And now, everything is not easy to say, there is a saying that it is difficult for a flying dragon to kill a pangolin.

In the afternoon, less than two hours after the advance, Kate led the men to find a small hill that was quite open around it, and then ordered to set up camp. It has to be said that his decision-making is extremely wise, and Delin's wisdom lies in leaving it all to Kate in full charge. Many of the recruited fighters are novices and have no experience in breaking through, which is recruited according to Delin's requirements, and most of them are under the age of 22 and have excellent potential. However, this is both an advantage and a disadvantage. They all make mistakes of one kind or another when setting up tents, and some of them are not even as good as kobold slaves. The three Kate had to organize several of the "veterans" to correct their mistakes and teach them by word and deed. Fortunately, Kate left them with plenty of time.

The young "noble thief" Brix and his teacher Cuckoo began to set some warning traps around Kate after receiving Kate's orders. At this moment, they had already finished everything, looking into the distance from a large tree, and at the same time, they were also paying attention to everything that was happening in the camp.

"Teacher, do you think such a team is reliable?" Brix looked at the somewhat chaotic camp, his face sad and hurried.

"What's the solution? It's better to choose a nobleman's convoy than an ordinary caravan, at least they have to have some scruples, and besides, I can see that the three captains still have some experience, and in the event of an accident, they won't collapse in an instant. It really doesn't work, we just need to find a chance to leave. The old thief Cuckoo looked at Brix, and a sentence lingered on his lips, but he finally decided to say it: "Brix, there is something I want to say to you. ”

"Do you want to persuade me to give up? Then you don't have to say it, I've made up my mind. Bricks jumped off the tree, walked lightly, and then vanished.

"Hey~ what a talent! Why fight for those unnecessary things? Isn't this for the sake of turnips, and lose snow ginseng? What looks good may not be suitable for you!Child!" Cuckoo muttered as he looked at Brix's back.

At dusk, under the guidance of Kate and his veterans, the camp was built. A simple tree fence encloses a circle, leaving three exits. Three carriages were placed at the exit, leaving only a passage of less than two meters. Horses are tethered to fences, and in the event of an accident, they can quickly slip into a wagon and escape, or they can take advantage of it to defend themselves. The tent was close to the inside of the carriage, which would reduce attacks from one side. There was no fire inside the camp, only torches, and there were puddles full of water next to it, but there were many fires around the camp to drive out wild beasts, and second, to extinguish the torches against the enemy, so that they could be in a position of superiority in the light of the enemy and the darkness.

"Today, you have shown a lot of shortcomings, this is nothing, but you must learn to improve your own shortcomings, this is a necessary quality for every warrior, if you can't do this, no amount of suffering will be in vain, and no amount of blood will be in vain. Delong, you take a small team to guard the first half of the night, Lamor takes the second team to guard the second half of the night, and Mo 3 and Mo 4 take turns to rest. After a brief lecture and arrangement, Kate ordered the meal to be served, and during this time, several soldiers were also on guard.

Regarding Kate's arrangement, Delin never said a word, and it was good to leave professional things to professional people. He turned his head and watched Brix eat. He had heard of Brix's nickname "Noble Thief", and he did know that many of the details of his behavior resembled those of nobles. But as for Brix's statement that he is a down-and-out nobleman, Delin has always had reservations in his heart.

ps: Delin has left the small world and started to explore the continent, what will happen next?
