In the early morning, the sky was just dawning.

The northern gate connecting Port Carlin to the interior was already home to a large caravan.

The number of slaves alone amounted to more than one hundred and fifty people.

In addition to this, there are a number of experienced civilians or hired with special skills, as well as a team of mercenaries responsible for security along the way.

As for the camels used to carry goods and supplies, there are a staggering number of thousands.

At a glance, it was densely packed, and almost the entire open space outside the city gate was occupied.

Luckily, there are no adventurers, pedestrians, or caravans coming and going at this time, otherwise it would have caused serious traffic jams.

As the owner and leader of the caravan, Bernard was standing on the side of the road looking out into the street inside the city gates.

Seeing this, Captain Bass, who came to see him off, immediately comforted in a low voice: "Don't worry, there is still half an hour before the agreed time." With the character of Lord Soss, he will definitely not be late. ”

"I know.

But the problem is, for some reason, I was always full of uneasiness.

After all, the journey was so dangerous that no one knew what was going to happen.

What's more, I still can't figure out why Isadora suddenly wants to kill all her brothers and sisters, including me.

After all, she was only twelve years old, and even if she succeeded in inheriting the Chamber of Commerce, she would not be able to keep the fruits of her victory.

The greedy creatures of Ascatra will use all kinds of means to swallow it in one gulp, and there is not even a bit of scum left. ”

Bernard said what was in his heart with a bitter face.

You must know that in the recent period, he has hardly been able to sleep peacefully at night, basically either insomnia or waking up in a terrible nightmare.

The hair also fell down one by one.

It's only in his early thirties, and his hairline has already become quite dangerous.

At this rate, it is estimated that in another seven or eight years, 100% will be bald or bald.

Of course, Bernard doesn't care if he will be bald in middle age.

What he really cares about is what his youngest sister is thinking, and how he plans to ensure that his father doesn't find out after getting rid of all his older siblings.

Or......

Isadora even wants to kill her father, who has been in charge of the Chamber of Commerce for more than thirty years?

When I think of that kind of "father and daughter" scene, Bernard can't help but tremble.

"Calm down! Things haven't gotten to your worst yet.

Moreover, Am's law stipulates that the eldest son has the highest right of inheritance.

Women are only eligible to inherit the family property if there are no direct male members of the family.

So as long as you are alive and can return to Askatra safely, you will win the final victory in this battle. ”

Old Bass patted his employer on the shoulder to cheer him on.

Because he is now a grasshopper tied to a rope with the other party, there is no way back behind him.

Either the Jedi will turn around and regain the Chamber of Commerce and become a "hero", or die on the way back and become a cold corpse.

"I hope so! Remember to set sail in a month and try to reach Ascatra with the caravan. Also, find a way to keep all those sailors in Port Carlin, it doesn't matter if you spend a little more. I don't want them to go back and spread the word about what happened on the desert island before. ”…

As he said this, Bernard's face became very cold.

Although he knew perfectly well that it was his fault to abandon the sailors.

But out of instinct to protect the reputation of the chamber of commerce, the family, and himself, he was still ready to do something disgusting.

However, as a businessman, Bernard does not intend to use violence, threats, kidnapping, or the like.

Quite the opposite!

His plan was to buy some of the most attractive local women with the money, and then seduce the sailors to stay in Port Carlin "voluntarily".

As for what will happen after the departure of the merchant ship, that is none of his business.

Old Bas nodded with a serious expression: "Don't worry, even if I empty my pension, I will never allow any of them to return to Askatra." ”

Just as Bernard was about to say something, he suddenly saw several people on camels slowly passing through the city gates.

The leader is none other than Zuo Si himself.

However, he did not ride a camel himself, but shared one with Alena.

After all, riding a camel is not the same thing as riding a horse.

What's more, the camels on this side of Port Carlin are all dromedary, and it is really not easy to sit down without a certain level of riding.

When he saw Bernard standing outside the city gate waiting for a long time, Zuo Si immediately said in a slightly apologetic tone: "I'm sorry, I encountered a little unexpected situation when I set off just now, so I was delayed for a few minutes. ”

"Unforeseen?"

The merchant subconsciously glanced at the team behind him, and immediately noticed that there was an additional woman in armor and a white suncloak.

Out of subconscious vigilance, he immediately asked in a tone of uncertainty that was not very sure, "Who is this lady?" ”

"Her name is Aroline. He is a holy warrior who serves Ilmat, the god of suffering. For some reason, you must follow me, and you can't get rid of me. But don't worry, I've already made a three-chapter agreement with her, and I will definitely not interfere with everything in the caravan. Zuo Si explained helplessly.

He couldn't believe that this young girl, who had blocked the door in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel for two days, really dared to follow alone, and without the slightest fear.

As for the purpose, Aroline didn't hide anything, and directly said it all generously.

As we all know, the Paladin can't lie.

In particular, lying in the name of God will inevitably lead to Fall.

Although Zuo Si felt a little strange that Irmat, the god of suffering, knew that he contained terrible viruses and bacteria in his body.

But considering the god's camp, priesthood and teachings, as well as the important information provided, he decided to take the young paladin with him just in case.

You must know that the gods of Faeron are not those "false gods" who say one thing on the surface and do one thing secretly.

They will never deviate from their own ideas, philosophies and values, and will not be driven and tempted by profit like mortals.

This also means that the gods of the good camp are all truly good from the heart, and the gods of the evil camp are also really evil.

In addition, Ilmat's image has always been known for being honest, gentle, calm, friendly, and stoic, and he is widely known as the "good old god" of Ferron.

Its followers and followers may seem a little weird, but they have never had any bad deeds.

Therefore, Zuo Si felt that it was better to pay attention to this god's warning.

Because he was desperate to find out what the so-called "mighty evil force that enveloped the land" meant, and why it was targeting him.

As for the goddess of poison and disease, the followers of Talona are also looking for him, but it is not worth making a fuss.

God is essentially omniscient and omnipotent in his own sphere of the priesthood.

The moment Zuo Si entered Feeron, Talona, known as the "Mother of All Plagues", should have sensed the deadly mutated viruses and bacteria in his body.

If it weren't for the turbulent years, the lessons of the deaths of many gods would have been too tragic.

Moreover, in order to make the gods perform their duties better, the god Io personally modified some of the rules between faith and divine power.

He estimated that this willful and reckless goddess would have descended directly to the incarnation a long time ago.
