Thousands of mountains. The mighty Kilimaro Mountains are on the side, like an endless barrier across the northwest of the continent. And right at the foot of the mountain is the endless Northwest Wilderness.

At this moment, in the wilderness, two horses, one black and one white, are galloping rapidly.

It was Du Wei and Qiao Qiao immediately.

Two days ago, after Du Wei used a trick to figure out the "tired dead ladyboy" = >, the two of them sat on the body of the tree man and walked for a day, and then finally encountered a group of merchants on the road to the northwest. Du Wei concealed his identity, bought two horses with the people of the merchant group, as well as all daily necessities and a few sets of clothes, and then continued to the northwest with Qiao Qiao.

After a day of rest on the treeman's body, Du Wei's physical strength had gradually recovered, and now having a horse to ride was better than trekking on foot.

The two traveled all the way west, and finally on the evening of the second day, they entered the most frontier in the northwest of the Roland Empire, the northwest gateway of the empire: the Northwest Corridor!

This is a gap in the Kilimano Mountains, which stretch for thousands of miles, in the northwest region of the continent. Riding a horse into the Northwest Corridor, this natural huge canyon is actually extremely empty!

After all, this gap, even in the narrowest place, is three or five miles wide, and the widest place is ten miles!

On both sides are towering mountains. The valley land, on the other hand, is an open area.

Du Wei knew. Although Luoxue can be deceived by his own strategy for a while, but for a long time, with the wisdom of the jīng spirit king. Most of them will come to their senses. At this moment, although the two of them have run safely for two days, which is already the best result since the bet with Luoxue, Du Wei still does not dare to relax in the slightest.

After the two horses entered the Northwest Corridor. I walked for another half day. The horsepower is running out. Du Wei looked at Tian Sè, sighed, motioned for Qiao Qiao to stop the horse, and sighed. "I think the horsepower is almost consumed, even if the horse is not tired." People also need to rest. This in the Northwest Corridor. This northwest corridor is nearly a hundred miles long, and although there are no towns in front of it, the Northwest Army of the Empire has set up several outposts in this canyon before. Although later all evacuated. It's also a bit deserted now. But it's also a place that can shelter from the wind and rain. We went to the front to find the outpost. Just stop and rest for the night. Raise enough jīng gods, and you have to prepare to cross the desert. ”

Qiao Qiao has been by Du Weidi's side for the past two days, and she has already put away her temper, and she obeys everything Du Wei says. There was not a single trace of objection.

Now that the two of them have agreed, they go to find the abandoned outpost. Who knows how many miles have been walked. Finally found one and came to the front. But I saw a small wooden house built on the hillside. There is also a wooden watchtower next to it. It's a pity that it fell into disrepair. And the landslide, where a few boulders fell, had already smashed the wooden house.

The two glanced at each other. They all sighed, and they could only continue to move forward helplessly.

Finally, it was the second half of the night. Only then did I find another outpost. Just far away. Then he saw the light of the fire coming from there, and when he got closer, there was already a caravan stationed there. I saw only a few dilapidated wooden houses outside. Several bonfires were lit, and several tents were erected next to them.

Far away, on the lookout wooden tower next to the original outpost. There were also two or three vigilers standing.

Du Wei and Jojo went all the way. Because I don't know how far away the snow is from the two of them - after all, within three hundred miles, the falling snow is a place where magic fluctuations can be sensed. Therefore, the two of them did not dare to use magic, whether they were in a hurry or not. Whether it is daily life, you can only abide by the ordinary way.

The two saw that a caravan was stationed here. Not surprising either. After all, the Northwest Corridor is the only way to the Prairie Lands. There were many caravans coming and going. It was not uncommon for these caravans to camp on the way, using these abandoned outposts.

The two glanced at each other. So he leaned over his horse. In the distance, the night watchman standing on the Wangmu Pagoda saw someone approaching, and immediately shouted, "What person!"

Soon two or three samurai in light armor came out of the camp of this caravan, presumably the guards hired by this caravan.

Du Wei immediately shouted: "We are passing through, and we just want to rest here for one night." ”

The guards of the merchant group who came over saw that there were only two people coming, and then they relaxed. When Du Wei and Qiao Qiao approached, some of the startled people in the group walked out of the tent.

The three guards greeted Du Wei and watched Du Wei and Qiao Qiao dismount. Of these three guards, Du Wei could see at a glance that the temperament of the sturdy and the equipment on his body were mostly mercenaries and other corners.

Years of the continent's northern demonic beasts raging things. The Imperial Decree of the Regency King recognized the legality of mercenary organizations on the mainland, and after that, the mercenary industry soon flourished. Many large local merchant groups and chambers of commerce are also happy to hire some reputable mercenary groups to act as caravan transportation guards.

One of the three mercenaries looked to be close to forty years old, with a weathered face, a light armor, a majestic figure, and a giant sword stuck in his back. Du Wei's eyes swept over his chest, and he saw a badge symbolizing a third-class knight. This person has a jīng dry look on his face, and he thinks it should be a boss or something.

Looking at the other party looking at himself and Qiaoqiao, Du Wei smiled and said in a calm tone: "The two of us are also in a hurry, and we just want to rest here." I didn't expect this place to be occupied......"

The leader of the mercenaries saw clearly that Du Wei and Qiao Qiao did not look like some villains, and Du Wei was tall, with a faint trace of nobility in his temperament, and Qiao Qiao had already taken off his armor and only wore a leather shirt casually. No one even knew that she was a samurai. Immediately, Du Wei and Qiao Qiao were classified as non-threatening in their minds. So he smiled and said, "It's okay, this is also a terra nullius." Although we came first, there is no reason to occupy it, if you want to rest, please do it, there is a fire here, but the house has been used by the leader of the merchant group, if you don't lift it, we can lend you a tent. If you're hungry, there's still some food we didn't finish last night, just don't dislike it. ”

Seeing that this person was also quite cheerful when he spoke, Du Wei smiled slightly, felt a little more good in his heart, and thanked him.

The mercenary leader smiled and said, "You're welcome, they're all people who are out on the road." ”

Subsequently, he sent his men to inform the person in charge of the merchant group, but personally led Du Wei and Qiao Qiao into the camp.

Du Wei traveled all the way, and this caravan consisted of about two or three hundred people, one hundred and ten horses and camels, and those heavy and huge packages and boxes, I think they brought the goods.

I found a random fire, sat down and rested for a while, and the mercenary leader had some water and food brought by him, and then sat down by the fire next to Du Wei. The leader of the mercenaries looked like a good talker, so he smiled: "To be honest, I'm a little curious, the two of you don't look like ordinary people. This gentleman, your conversation and temperament should be a person of great status. ”

Du Wei smiled and did not answer.

The leader of the mercenaries saw that Du Wei didn't speak or care, so he said, "Are you two going to the grassland?" ”

"Oh, what do you say?" Du Wei asked casually when he heard that the other party was just enthusiastic.

"To tell the truth, the trade routes in the northwest have become more and more peaceful since the reign of Lord Tulip Duke of Desa Province. Once upon a time, there were some horse bandits here. However, General Longbottom in the Tulip Legion has brought people out from time to time to clean up in the past few days, and the current law and order is much better than before. Therefore, as long as you do not leave this northwest corridor and stay in the territory of the province of Dessa, you will not encounter any danger under normal circumstances. It's just that if the two of them are going out of the Northwest Corridor to the grassland, then ...... I have a suggestion. Although the majesty of the Duke of Tulip made those villains dare not enter the province of Dessa. But after all, when you leave the Northwest Corridor, you will leave the border of our Roland Empire. In the past, there were several bandits entrenched in the northwest, but now most of them are entrenched in the depths of the Gobi desert. Many caravans were also often disturbed by their sāo. Therefore, we mercenaries also have a place to play. But in the end, the road is still not smooth. The two of them went on the road alone, but they didn't know the hardships in the desert in front of them. ”

Du Wei listened, glanced at Qiao Qiao, and smiled at this enthusiastic man in a sincere tone: "Thank you for your kind reminder." However, the two of us really have important things to do and must go to the grassland, even if it is dangerous, we have to go forward. ”

The leader of the mercenaries smiled and said, "I don't think you two are bad guys...... Well, although I can't call the shots, the leader of the caravan here still respects me all the way. If you don't dislike it, I will discuss it with the leader of the caravan early tomorrow morning, why don't you two go with us, and there will be a care on the way. ”
