Chapter 036: Sudden Change
But this time Afri seemed to be more careful, and when they set off, the sky was slowly clearing, and Avery was in a much better mood.
"Lord Xilin, tomorrow we will be able to go to Dominion Province, where Lake Dominion is a beautiful place in the northwest of the Empire. ”
Ai Fuli sat in the car, all he had to do was to get to the destination to talk about business, as for the road, he was idle.
"Dominican?" Cillin looked at Avery, looked down and thought about it.
"My lord, Domingo is right next to Andus. Ifry thought Sillin didn't know yet, so he explained.
"I know there's no going to be any trouble there, I've heard that Lake Domin doesn't stop much. Cillin remembered the strange things that had happened there in the past few years.
There were many rumors that there was a water monster in there, but no one had actually seen it.
"Lord Xilin is talking about that rumor, it's normal for there to be some rumor in such a beautiful place, maybe some troublemaker made it up. ”
"Huh...... That's what Mr. Avery said. Cillin smiled and did not object.
The team did not make much of a stop in the next few cities, including overnight stays and meals.
Soon, they finally hit Dominion Lake Fat.
The lake water presents a pale blue clear wave, rippling towards the opposite shore.
Occasionally, a flock of strange birds flew up from the nearby woods, and a few chirps made the silence a little more mysterious.
"I think we're going to take a break here, and everybody have something to eat, oh, it's a beautiful view. ”
"Yes, okay. When Sirin heard Afried's words, there was no reason to object to him doing so, although if he insisted on disagreeing with this decision, Avery would change his mind, but Cillin obviously didn't mean it.
"Your Excellency. Yarlin handed over a water bladder.
Cillin took a sip, then handed the water bladder to Ai Furi's hand, and Ai Fuli was not polite, and took it and poured a few sips.
Wiping his mouth, Avery looked at the lake in the distance, looking happy.
Cillin looked at him and thought to himself, "It seems that not all merchants don't know Fengya, and this Aifuri is good at this." "Cillin knows he doesn't drink or play, woman.
The whole was calm, and the team followed the set route, but at noon on the fourth day after departure, that is, the third day of entering the Dominican Province, something was wrong.
There was nothing humane in the caravan, but the horses in the caravan seemed to have encountered something terrible, from the first few horses, and then more and more, they were all neighing, and the restlessness also affected some of the caravan personnel.
"Lord Xilin, do you feel anything?"
Avery's face was a little ugly, to be honest, he was really a little scared now, as a businessman, rich and well-connected, but there was one thing, timid, this is difficult to change.
"What?" Cillin looked at Ivory, pretending to be fine.
"Sir, don't you really feel it?"
Avery's voice trembled a little, and he also took an honorific title when he spoke to Cillin.
"Huh...... Mr. Avery, don't worry, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, so hurry with peace of mind. Sirin smiled slightly, and nothing happened in reality.
But Xilin's heart was also slightly nervous, as an excellent warrior, his keen perception of danger made him understand that this time things would definitely not be simple.
After another walk, the weather that was fine in the morning slowly became gloomy. The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and a large dark cloud in the distance gradually pressed up, and the sky suddenly darkened a lot.
The horses of the caravan were no longer at the mercy of men, and were only restless in their place, and it was impossible for them to continue on their way.
Avery lifted the curtain in front of the carriage and tried to look out, but as soon as he showed his head, he immediately returned to his seat in the carriage.
"How's it going? Cillin was still smiling, but apparently he was a little less composed.
"Lord Xilin, it seems that we are in trouble this time, it is estimated that there will be a heavy rain in a while, it will rain at this time, this damn weather. Avery's face became more and more ugly, firstly, because the rain had delayed the trip, and secondly, some of his goods could not see water, but looking at this situation, a heavy rain was indispensable.
When Sirin heard Ai Furi's words, he didn't say anything, but he didn't think it would be so simple in his heart, this kind of weather is really a good time to rob the house, but the rain is better, and it's a big deal to lose some goods, but if you want to meet robbers, whether you can save your life is another matter.
"Mr. Affory, we can't go any further, those damned animals don't listen. ”
Afri heard the voice and bent down again to lift the curtain.
It was a big man with a slight beard who spoke, and his figure was not much better than that of Upper Gar, but the slight beard on his face was more powerful.
The Great Khan's name is Gegil, and he is the leader of the Severed Arm Mercenary Regiment, which is well-known throughout Andus, because this time it is to escort the goods of the Andrei family, so he is the head of the regiment himself.
At this time, he was standing in front of the Avery carriage, and although his face was not good-looking, there was no trace of panic.
Hearing Gergil say this, Avery couldn't help but nod, now like this, there is really no better way.
"Why don't we go down first, and make arrangements. Sirin looked at the gloomy sky and said to Avery.
"Okay, listen to your lordship over there. With that, Avery got out of the carriage.
Cillin then got out of the carriage as well, and the two walked side by side to a nearby clearing, where only a few weeds grew, but they were all yellow, and could be used as bedding.
Gergil, of course, followed them, and his men had all stopped, pitching their tents with the caravan, and some of them hurriedly covering the wagons with tarpaulins.
"Gegil?"
"Your Excellency!"
Gegil knows the identity of Xilin, although the Severed Arm Mercenary Group has some influence in Andus, but for the lord of a city in the Empire, there is no comparison, not to mention anything else, the Broken Arm Mercenary Regiment is full of one hundred and ten people, and Wiesna has two or three thousand garrisons.
"Well," Xilin replied, "How many people did His Excellency the Regiment Commander bring this time?" ”
"Fifty-three people plus Gegir, my lord!" Gegill bent slightly.
"Yes. When Sirin heard this, his face relaxed slightly, and he asked how many of Avery's guards there were, and the result was similar to that of Gegil's men.
A team of more than 100 guards, even an ordinary bandit group will not touch it, the so-called self-damage of 800 before the enemy is injured, and only fools will do it, and there don't seem to be many fools in the world of robbers.
But this time it seemed to be different, and Xilin's brows that had just relaxed furrowed slightly, as if something had been unable to figure it out.
Suddenly, a possibility came to Cillin's mind, and he turned to look at Avery, his gaze a little sharp.
Originally, Ivory was still looking at Xilin, thinking that he was asking about the number of guards, but he never thought that Xilin would suddenly stare at him with his eyes.
Seeing this at Cillin, Avery immediately lowered his head.
The corners of Xilin's eyes narrowed slightly, "Mr. Avery, have you forgotten something?" ”
Avery was stared at by Cillin, and Cillin's voice came to his ears.
"My lord, why did my lord say this" Avery's eyes dodged, and he deliberately looked at the busy crowd not far away.
