Chapter 164: Out of the City

The journey back was peaceful.

Unlike the rush in which it came, the caravan was moving at a rather slow pace.

This is not only because the carriages are full of goods, but more importantly, there is a loss of urgency in people's hearts, and they are no longer the same day and night as before.

Of course, Reinado didn't mind this, and in his eyes, the trip was quite smooth, even if he wasted a little time on the road, it didn't matter much.

……

"It's boring."

After translating the last Elvish text on the paper into Byron, Sean put down the book in his hand and rubbed his eyes wearily.

The experience of reading a book in the carriage was quite bad, not to mention the light and the like, and the most fatal thing was the bumps along the way, which simply made him feel irritated.

To be honest, the thought that after leaving Teresa City, such days would have to last for more than ten days, Sean had an urge to dismantle all the guys in the Southern Alliance.

"Hey...... Sure enough, once a person has been comfortable for too long, he will no longer want to return to his life of exile."

Sean sighed, smiling a little self-deprecatingly.

A few years ago, in order to escape the war, he smuggled from Ryan City to Hogar City with a caravan, and the conditions along the way were much more difficult than now.

Not to mention the days after joining the Silver Eagle Legion, being carried around by the army to fight in the north and south, and finally driving straight to the victory pass, this journey was not only uncomfortable, but even when I slept, I was afraid of being ambushed by the enemy.

But even so, Sean did not complain a few times at the beginning, eager to complete the primitive accumulation of wealth, he was willing to even take risks to participate in the war, how could he care about the external conditions?

Therefore, in the past few years in Teresa City, it has really changed Sean's habits a lot, although his life is not pampered on weekdays, but he has been taken care of by Celia, in fact, he has long been accustomed to comfort.

Of course, this is not a bad thing, and as the ruling class of this world, it is only natural for Sean to enjoy the convenience of his power and position.

Unlike those brainwashed commoners and slaves, who take hardship, restraint and exploitation for granted, in Sean's opinion, it is good to have strong willpower, but it is completely unnecessary to ask for hardship.

Everything he does is for the greater good, and any contribution he gives is also for himself to live a better life in the future.

……

With that in mind, Sean opened the curtain of the carriage and looked with interest at the caged elves in the distance—they were all Reinado's treasures.

The elven slaves were both male and female, but in general the majority were females.

Reinado had already tasted the sweetness of this near-monopoly slave trade, so in this transaction, he invested more than half of his principal in the slave trade alone.

To be honest, Sean is actually quite greedy for these elven slaves, but he is not hungry for their bodies, but for the gold coins he can get after selling them.

After all, since having Celia, a stunning slave, Sean's aesthetic has naturally improved a lot.

Even if the quality of these slaves is not bad, and even the best of them can be called the best, there is still a big gap compared to Celia.

It can also be seen from here that Reinado gave a lot of sincerity in order to invite Sean at that time, but although Sean was very grateful, he still had to seize the opportunity when it was time to protect himself.

You must know that the group of guys in the Southern Alliance have even penetrated Reinado's lair thoroughly, maybe there are a lot of anti-water under his subordinates, even if Reinado's personal strength is strong, is it possible that he can still fight a group of trainee-level professionals in the Southern Alliance alone?

It's a pity for these good slaves......

Sean looked out the window with regret, carefully examining the elves, whether beautiful or handsome.

Even if he had the heart to save them

Bitter Sea, but the current situation is too chaotic, in order to make his next journey a little more stable, Sean will not consider taking them on the road with him.

The battle that ensues can be fierce, and if no one tries to protect them, the gold coins may be damaged.

However, all this soon had nothing to do with him, for after a week's journey, the city of Theresa was at hand.

The show is about to begin.

……

……

……

The long convoy of horse-drawn carriages drove through the streets, through the squares, through the fairs, and into the city in an orderly manner under the escort of the soldiers, heading in the direction of the Reinado estate.

On the side of the road, the onlookers cast curious and amazed glances.

As residents of Teresa City, they were of course familiar with Reinado and his caravans, so they gathered on the side of the street as soon as the vehicles entered the city.

It stands to reason that there is nothing to see about a caravan entering the city, even if it is a little larger and more numerous, it is not something to be unusual.

But now it's different, what these low-level civilians really want to see is not the carriages or the guards and soldiers, but the elves in cages.

O elves!

It is said that in ancient times, they were synonymous with beauty, nobility, mystery, power, and arrogance.

Although the elves have long since lost their last two characteristics, for most ordinary people, the elves are still beautiful, noble and mysterious.

However, such elves are now being transported around in cages, and even sold or even auctioned at a clear price in the end, which is a very noteworthy thing for those low-level civilians who are extremely lacking in the spiritual world.

The appearance and characteristics of the elves are not mysterious, but ordinary people have not seen many of them with their own eyes, and it is often rumored that a certain nobleman spent hundreds or even thousands of gold coins to buy an elf slave, but because the living environment and the social circle are too far apart, these commoners can only imagine that kind of scene in their minds.

Now, they finally had a chance to see it, even if the only focus of these civilians was on looks and price, but that didn't stop them from boasting about it and even judging their tastes—even if they couldn't have anything to do with these elven slaves in their lifetime.

……

Sitting in the carriage and passing through the wide street, although Sean did not open the curtains, his spiritual power had already spread out to perceive the outside environment.

The noise reached his ears through his spiritual power, and Sean used his mental power to "see" in all directions, looking for some special targets in the crowd.

Sure enough, among the large number of civilians who were talking excitedly, there were a few guys who were obviously in a different mental state than the others were paying attention here, and their eyes were always focused on Sean's carriage from time to time, as if waiting for something to happen.

"What, is this spying on me?"

Sean frowned, slightly unhappy in his heart.

Even if he had planned to pit those guys before leaving, he still felt a little embarrassed by such suspicions.

"Hehe, it's okay, I'm going to do something about it, but it's not for you to find out."

The spiritual power swept around him, and Sean sneered.

He straightened his clothes, and after a few words of command to Celia, he got out of the carriage alone.

……

As the door opened, Sean appeared empty-handed, and amid the crowd's gaze and discussion, he walked quickly to Reinado's side, intending to start his plan.

"Sean, what's the matter?"

Seeing Sean coming to his side, Reinado, who was riding on a tall horse, rolled over and fell to the ground, turning his head to look at him with some confusion.

As the largest nobleman in Teresa City, Reinado did not choose to be with other apprentices at such times

Generally hiding in the carriage and not wanting to come out, but appearing in front of the people openly, showing his personality charm.

Now, however, Sean's actions made him feel a little strange.

After all, Reinado thinks he knows Sean's character well, and in his judgment, the other party is not a person who likes to be in the limelight, and even in a sense, this guy is still afraid of these troubles.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I need to go home first because of some situation here, and by the way, I will put the purchased things in place, and then I will go to your manor to meet you, okay?"

Sean said this in a relaxed tone, and as he spoke, his expression was quite natural, and there was no hint of lying.

Reinado didn't doubt Sean in such a trivial matter, because of the existence of the contract, he didn't subconsciously feel that Sean would inexplicably betray him, and this kind of situation of leaving in advance was not special, and it didn't arouse his vigilance in the slightest.

"Okay, then let the coachman give you a ride, there are so many people now, it's quite troublesome for you to walk back."

Reinado smiled and waved his hand, clearly understanding the purpose of Sean's coming to him - to borrow a carriage, which was just a trivial matter.

"Well, thank you, I'll go first."

After receiving a response, Sean didn't continue to talk nonsense, he simply nodded, turned around and returned to the carriage.

Reinado turned on his horse again, and when he said a few words to the guards and soldiers beside him, the dog-legged men immediately put on a fierce face and began to drive away the crowd that stood in the way.

Sean's carriage also took the opportunity to leave the large group and turned into a path under the cover of the guards.

It's just that everyone didn't notice that the moment Sean turned around before, a faint fluctuation flowed into the body of the horse that Reinado was riding.

This wave has no lethality or special effects, and its only use is to convey words, and only in a very short sentence.

That's why Sean was able to put it out without anyone noticing, and when Reinado was about to arrive at his estate, it would have been a big surprise – or a fright, of course.

Moreover, the various chain effects generated by this will make the group of guys in the Southern Alliance completely lose the leisure and ability to track Sean, which can be called a multi-task.

……

……

……

"Master, aren't we going home? Where is this going?"

More than ten minutes later, Celia looked at Sean with some fear in her eyes closed and raised her staff.

She found that the aura of her master's whole body suddenly became extremely powerful, and an invisible force enveloped the vicinity of the carriage, and even she felt a little unusual.

This level of oppression and soul pressure had only been seen by Cilia more than a year ago when Sean was fighting four apprentice-level professionals, and even if it was just a simple glance, she would feel awe and admiration from the bottom of her heart.

However, after waiting for a while, Celia did not get an answer from Sean, and she, who knew quite well about her master's character, immediately became well-behaved, shrank in the corner of the carriage and did not dare to move, and did not continue to talk.

……

At this moment, Sean is mobilizing his mana with all his might, influencing the surrounding watchers, soldiers, and even the groom who is driving for him.

After leaving Reinado's large force, some of the Southern Alliance watchers followed him and began to move.

Naturally, Sean, who knew everything, would not keep them any longer, and when he was far enough away from Reinado, he began to use prophecy spells and some psychic spells with all his might, so that those guys would lose their tracks.

And the soldiers sent by Reinaldo to help him clear the way are naturally like this, and it only takes a mutant apprentice-level psychic shock for these guys to temporarily lose their ability to think on their own, and wander around like the walking dead for a while.

Of course, using spells on so many people at once is quite difficult even for Sean.

But fortunately, he still had the help of foreign objects, and after drinking a few bottles of combination potion, Sien's mana, which was almost consumed, immediately recovered most of it.

Mana and spiritual power poured out wildly, and after it took a long time to complete everything, Sean breathed a sigh of relief.

He put away the staff in his hand, and then slowly opened his eyes and looked at Celia on the side.

Under the effect of the mind control spell, the horseman in the car was quickly driving the carriage towards the outside of the city, and through the moving scenery outside the car window, Celia finally understood what was happening.

"Lord, Master...... Are we leaving Teresa?"

She looked at Sean with a confused expression, as if she was quite puzzled by her master's approach.

"Well, go to another city, which is also bustling, and we can live as peaceful as before."

Sean replied lightly, reinforcing the mind-control effect in the coachman's brain.

"That's—"

"Don't ask so much!"

Celia opened her mouth slightly, and the words she was about to spit out were immediately interrupted by Sean's scolding.

However, she also saw that Sean's mood was indeed not normal now, so Celia took the initiative to send her body to Sean's arms, and let the master knead it wantonly to vent the negative emotions in her heart.

This barely alleviated some of Sean's anxiety and made his heart feel a lot more comfortable.
