The ships of the Stirling caravan sailed all the way north along the east coast of the West Continent.

Bypassing the impenetrable mountains of the central part of the continent, the caravan arrived at a calm bend in the eastern part of the continent after more than a week.

If it continues to sail north, the fleet will soon enter the area of influence of the storm surge that has enveloped the northern part of the Western Continent for most of the year.

In order to avoid the ship's ship being overturned by the storm tsunami, the caravan was to land in the bay as originally planned, and change overland through the lush woodland of the streams.

Until you arrive at Yuyun Village.

This short overland route, which is less than 200 kilometers, is the last leg of the caravan's journey.

It will also be the hardest and most dangerous period.

On the coast, the director of the Chamber of Commerce and several key members of the Chamber of Commerce ran back and forth, repeatedly checking the ropes that bound the goods and the saddles that tied the herbivorous dragons on the large board trucks.

These vehicles, along with the herbivorous dragons that pulled them, were carried by cargo ships and transported thousands of miles from the port of Tangia.

For this trip, the Stirling Chamber of Commerce has spent countless manpower and material resources, and the cost has even far exceeded the transaction of goods itself.

This trip is not to make money, but to open up business routes, and failure is absolutely not allowed!

Anhil and Fengying, who were the caravan guards, were also checking the equipment and props over and over again.

In the area of the abundant water and grass, countless monsters walk in it.

With such a large target as a caravan, it is almost inevitable that a monster will encounter and a battle while crossing the stream.

It is necessary to be ready for battle at all times.

Just in case, Anhill also found a nondescript guy in a traveling cloak in the corner of the convoy.

- The female light crossbowman who secretly protects the third princess.

During the time when the third princess followed Feng Ying to spread joy in Yanhuo Village, Anhill, who was also a shooter, also went to communicate with her a few times.

This five-star light crossbow envoy in her thirties is named Prima, a very common name, just like her appearance and temperament, ordinary and unobtrusive.

As the highest-ranking of the only three hunters in the caravan, Miss Prima's strength is unquestionable.

But her only purpose was to protect the third princess, and to put it bluntly, the loss of the caravan was not within her scope of concern at all.

It took Anhill a lot of effort to convince her that if a monster broke through his and Feng Ying's defenses, she would protect the caravan as far as she could.

As for the loss of goods, it has nothing to do with her.

With such a result, Anhill is already very satisfied.

Seriously, even he doesn't care much about these goods, even if they are from his own chamber of commerce.

After vaguely revealing the identity of the guard lady to the head of the chamber of commerce, the shrewd director immediately arranged her to a position in the middle of the convoy, and served delicious food and drink.

The Guard Lady was well aware of the thoughts of these merchants, but she was not averse.

The vehicle in which the third princess was riding was also surrounded in the center of the convoy, which was closer to her and convenient for her to protect.

It took a full day for the caravan to make all the preparations for the trip, and it was a good night's recuperation.

Early the next morning.

The huge convoy finally set off, led by two hunters, and plunged headlong into the jungle covered with streams.

Goal, Yuyun Village!

Gordon was naked, with only a towel around his waist, and the pork chop was not wearing anything.

The early winter winds of Frasia could have frozen to death, and the Gordon chops each grabbed a handful of snow, rubbed it on their bodies, and then jumped into the steaming pools with a groan.

The extreme temperature difference caused a burning pain on the skin, and when this slight pain subsided, the warm spring water enveloped it, and the exhaustion between the bones dissipated.

"Ahh

"Wonder Meow ——!"

Gordon and the pork chop felt like they were about to melt.

Amos, sitting cross-legged on the edge of the pool, had a floating wooden plate in front of him.

On the wooden plate was a small wine glass that could not even fit a pigeon's eggs, and a small cup of light wine soaked in snow-capped grass.

Reaching out to stabilize the wooden plate that was almost overturned by the "tsunami" smashed by Gordon, and taking another sip of wine, Amos let out a leisurely sigh.

"Bliss."

"Bah! It's hot! ”

A bamboo fence divides the pool in two, and across the fence, the exclamation of Hayatta can be heard.

"Even, even don't like to soak in hot water."

"It's okay, just get used to it, come down, it's very comfortable~." Hayata, who slowly sat down in the hot spring, grinned and pulled Pandan down.

"Meow meow meow!"

Listening to the movement of Hayatta and Xianglan, Gordon, who was lying on the edge of the hot spring pool, inexplicably had a strange idea of "wanting to go over and see".

However, the presence of Amos extinguished this thought from the beginning.

If he dares to act, Amos is afraid that he will be crushed to death in the hot pool.

Soaking in the hot springs in the snow and ice is definitely a treat.

The cold breeze blowing on the surface of the pool brings crisp air and prevents the people in the hot springs from feeling stuffy, the only downside is that it is doubly difficult for those who are soaking in the hot springs to get out of the water.

So this bubble is more than half an hour.

Gordon, who was soaked red all over, couldn't help but diverge his thoughts - I don't know if Anhil and they arrived in Yuyun Village, and it seems that there are also hot springs over there?

Slowly draining the last drop of wine from the cup, Amos rose from the hot spring.

The muscular body was covered with scars, and the socket-like scars on the waist were still a light red flesh color, apparently only healed recently.

He ignored the howling cold wind and twisted his waist.

"Well, it's almost recovered, and the hot springs in Pokai Village are really interesting." He walked over to the edge of the pool and put on a yukata, "In this case, I should almost get ready to leave." ”

"Huh?!"

Amid the sound of the water coming out of the water, Hayatta poked her head out of the edge of the baffle, "Are you leaving?" Master, your injuries haven't completely healed yet, so don't you really recuperate in Bokai Village for a few more days? ”

Amos shoved Hayata's head back and glanced back at Gordon warily.

Gordon's face was full of innocence.

Amos cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, soak in the water, be careful of catching a cold."

Don't worry about me, I know my body, it doesn't matter anymore, besides, it's time for me to go back to Minagard City.

In a few days, heavy snow will cover the mountain roads, and it will be difficult to travel again, are you planning to stay in Pokey Village for the winter? ”

Gordon sat up straight and said, "I shouldn't spend the whole winter, but I will stay for a while."

Hayatta said that the dragonman craftsmen in the workshop in Bokai Village are very good at blacksmithing, and we plan to build the Boom Sword and the Demon God Slashing Sword here. ”

"What about the artisan mother and son?" Amos nodded, "Indeed, their skills are famous, and they are not inferior to those big city workshops. ”

Hayatta, who was on the other side of the baffle, also answered: "And because of the dragon, the resources collected in the village for the winter are not very sufficient, and I want to take advantage of this time to help." ”

"Okay, this time the situation is special, and the guild should also extend the hunting ban period as appropriate, but you still have to be careful, don't crusade against female beasts, especially pregnant beasts, just to get meat, remember?" Amos couldn't help but remind.

"Got it."

"Understood."

Amos nodded in satisfaction, and was just about to leave the pool when he remembered something and looked back at Gordon.

"Don't soak in the hot springs for too long, Gordon, come with me to get dressed, and Hayatta will soak for a while."
