Chapter 17: Caravan Hitchhiking
Lush countryside savannahs with lush woods.
Through the gaps in the branches, you can even see small villages in the distance, and individual tall windmills, slowly turning in the sunlight.
The breeze blows away a little stuffy.
A small caravan was walking along a trail in the countryside.
More than a dozen tall horses of various colors were divided into three groups to pull three carriages, and there were more than a dozen leather armor guards along the way to protect them.
All three carriages are of the same size, with small front wheels and large rear wheels.
The wooden planks carried at the front and rear of the carriage, including the top of the box, were placed with wrapped goods, which were firmly fastened with tarpaulin and net ropes.
The outer leather of the carriage is painted with a silver dragon head pattern, which is the logo of the "Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce".
At the front of the caravan was a middle-aged bald man on horseback, and he was accompanied by a young man on horseback.
The young man had a yellow mushroom head on his head, which looked very funny.
At this time, the young man looked back at the carriage at the back, and thought for a moment.
"Git, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing this, the bald man asked softly.
"Ah...... Mr. Walsh, nothing, just a little strange as to why the nuns of the Red Apple Church were attacked by wild beasts in this wilderness. ”
"Maybe it was misfortune on the way to that apple orchard......
I heard that the Red Apple Church has an apple orchard outside the town, and the fruits are distributed to the poor in the town. ”
Bald Walsh shook his head regretfully.
"Oh, poor nun...... She's still so young. ”
He then pressed his fingers together at the center of his eyebrows, then reached into a backhand fist towards the sky.
"May the light bless her."
This is the prayer gesture of the Cult of the Stars.
The assistant Kitt on the side saw it and couldn't help but secretly slander himself.
How could the gods of the stars bless the nuns of another church, could it be that the Queen of Bright and the Lady of the Rose knew each other very well?
But he did not dare to say such blasphemous words.
Git stared at the last carriage.
He always felt suspicious of the two men who had asked for help from the caravan on the way, but since Mr. Walsh had agreed to let them get into the carriage, he could not say anything more.
The curtain on the carriage was pulled back in sight.
A black-haired young man's head poked out and gave him an innocent smile.
Git was stunned for a moment, responded with an awkward smile, and then turned back to look at him again.
Chen Lun showed a playful look, leaning against the window and playing with the shell necklace on his chest.
"If it weren't for it, I wouldn't have been able to hitchhike......"
After escaping from prison, he couldn't figure out where he was.
Those in the wilderness don't know how far away they are from the nearest town.
Instead of scurrying around like a headless fly, it's better to find someone to lead the way.
Fortunately, he encountered this caravan, so he used [Siren Song] to "persuade" the caravan steward and hitchhiked.
Although the wagon with wooden wheels and iron sheets was bumpy, it was at least better than walking on two legs.
Even if Chen Lun is already an extraordinary person, he is not good at stamina, and there is a weak Floy to take care of by his side.
Not to mention this saving effort, it also gave him time and space to think for a short time.
Looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, Chen Lun's slightly impetuous heart slowly calmed down.
"Floy's third ring mission is not clueless for the time being, and the first goal is to find a place to stay and rest.
Let's go to town first, Floy and I are so eye-catching now......"
A wounded nun, plus a young man in rags, has a problem no matter how you look at it.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Lun took out the loot obtained from killing the priest.
A tiny red ghost-faced badge.
[D-Class Monster Surge Badge]
Item description: A badge containing flesh and blood powers, which grants a surge of power and vitality when worn.
The ghost face above seems to be alive, smiling when you're not looking at it.
It seems to have been left behind by a church priest, containing the mysterious substances and transcendent properties that were precipitated after his death.
Eat, eat more, you are the butcher of hunger, you are the embodiment of strength......
Item Effect: Strength +2, Endurance +2 after wearing.
Item Cost: Easier to get hungry and eat more.
Chen Lun casually pinned it to his chest, adding 4 points of attribute [Trickery], and the side effects were not big, which was not bad.
"For the time being, use it first, and then when the time comes, the price will be high...... And then bring it to help them.
I'm so kind! ”
It's so righteous!
Chen Lun wiped his tears of self-emotion.
Although this is only the lowest-level [Trickery], but at the beginning of the version, it was said to be an artifact, then it was an artifact.
Who calls this thing scarce?
Chen Lun stretched out his hand to caress the breeze outside the window and narrowed his eyes.
Before crossing over, the handful of gods at the top of the pyramid were beyond his reach.
He didn't even make it to the first tier, but that didn't stop him from being influential in the minds of players.
Measure the world alone and embark on a lonely journey.
Uncover the countless side quests hidden in this vast world and the stories behind them.
Feel the atmosphere that is completely different from reality, record it, and post it on the in-game forum for players to talk about.
Players affectionately call Chen Lun "Mysterious Crawler".
Crawling wherever he writes, there doesn't seem to be a little secret he doesn't know.
Of course, life is just right.
Chen Lun packed some heavy side quest plots and hunting stories into a book.
With the screenshots of the scenery he collected on his journey, it didn't sell well.
Of course, if you are a regular customer, he will also take out some treasured screenshots of the superb scenery......
How unique, all the famous female characters have been visited by him.
The serious kind.
How can the screenshots of the players be called candid shots?
I'm just going to see if they're molded!
Chen Lun turned his head to look at Floy on the side.
Her eyes were now simply bandaged by a strip of linen, and her body was asleep against the pile of leather and wool.
Despite the great jolting of the carriage, Floy showed no signs of waking up.
The nun hat on her head had been removed, revealing her long, pale blonde hair, which looked like a delicate doll.
"Let's take it one step at a time, I still have a lot of options."
Chen Lun muttered to himself.
"And not just to change her fate...... At the same time, it is also to hide the third ring of the mission.
The rewards are too generous, I can't get stronger if I can't get them, and I can't help the players if I can't get stronger, so I'll feel guilty to the point of crying. ”
At this time, Chen Lun suddenly found that the convoy slowly stopped.
Loud voices began to be heard outside.
"Stop! Stop! ”
"Who is the head of your caravan?"
At this moment, there was a sound of cheering and footsteps outside the carriage.
Chen Lun didn't look around curiously, but silently put down the curtain and only observed secretly through the gap.
He didn't realize for a moment that the caravan had arrived at the checkpoint on the bridge leading to the town.
Walsh, the caravan steward, rolled down from his horse and met a bearded officer in chain mail.
"I am."
Walsh took out his identification, along with his Chamber of Commerce pass, and handed it to the bearded officer.
"I'm one of the stewards of the 'Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce', and adults can call me Walsh...... What's going on in Emerald Town? ”
Walsh noticed that there were far more guards than usual in front of the outpost, and this anomaly caught his attention.
The bearded man took it, glanced at it casually, and then handed it back to Walsh.
"Nothing, except that Brother Stuarton of the Red Apple Church said that there were vicious murderers roaming the neighborhood.
We had to search your chamber's wagon. ”
"My lord, this is not in accordance with the rules."
Walsh dissatisfied.
The bearded officer shrugged and turned sideways to make a way.
"I'm sorry, I'm sure your caravan is fine, but that's what the Red Apple Church meant......
According to the Code of the Sun, they have the right to do so. ”
Following the words of the bearded officer, a fat man in a crimson robe led the church guard behind him to the front of the caravan.
A tall, heavily armored guard also led two large dogs draped in red cloth.
The purpose of covering up the rotting hound is probably to avoid panic among ordinary people when they see it.
The Red Apple Church was not afraid, but Brother Steolton didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.
"Get out of the way!"
Several Red Apple Church guards in fur coats and brimmed hats shouted with swords, and the caravan guards retreated.
Watching these church guards inspect their three carriages and goods, the assistant Kit's heart was not only not resentful, but had some inexplicable expectations.
He was looking forward to the sight of the guards pulling the kid out of the carriage.
"Maybe it was a hillbilly in the field who kidnapped the nuns of the church, even blinded her, and then blasphemed her......"
Git was reckless and vaguely excited.
As for the heinous murderers that the Red Apple Church said they were talking about, Git didn't think that way.
No matter how you look at it, that kid doesn't look like it.
Soon, a church guard came to the last carriage.
In Git's expectant gaze, the guard raised his dagger and opened the curtain.
In the carriage lay a nun from her own church, and a young man dressed in tattered linen who looked like a beggar.
The young man was looking at him, smiling politely.
"Hello."
