Unlike Chen Zhou's first impression, the caravan was not just made up of merchants, wagons, and guards.

Traveling with so many people and goods, it was natural that porters and foot skills were indispensable, as were the servants who took care of the lives of the people, as well as cooks, doctors, clergymen, and so on, and the composition of the caravan was more complicated than he had imagined.

Therefore, after realizing that there were cooks in the caravan, he decisively gave up the dry food he brought and went to the caravan to eat.

Thanks to his good hearing, he was able to occasionally hear interesting anecdotes during this time.

For example, a lord is at odds with a lord, Adolf's baroness and a warlock run away, a certain territory is considered a lord's thing as long as it falls to the ground, and the county next door accidentally burned a dozen people when the baron was summoned to a banquet......

The gossip of Tiannan and Haibei was easily brought by the merchants, and it was even more bards than bards.

After dinner, Chen Zhou habitually came to the upwind place to rest.

"Let's have a good time tonight! yes！ yes！ yes！」

As night falls, a certain energetic space hamster becomes active again.

Unfortunately, Chen Zhou couldn't stop it - he was at least responsible for keeping vigil as a temporary guard.

Ten guards, three for the first half of the night and seven for the second half of the night.

The reason why there are more people in the second half of the night is because people are more sleepy and have difficulty concentrating at that time, and more people need to make up for it.

Chen Zhou is in charge of the first half of the night, and before going to bed, he will use wild arcane to set up a "magic alarm", while Jerry, who has never slept all night, will help take care of the team all night.

Since it was those people who kept vigil every night, after a few days of traveling, he gradually got to know two other adventurers.

John & Wright, one calls himself a warrior, the other also calls himself a warrior.

The difference is that the focus is different, John is good at guns and shields, and Wright is more good at shooting...... Harpoon.

Because someone's strength is obviously beyond the standard, the other two people in the first half of the night basically made up the number.

Both of them are natives of Blossom Port, and because their houses were destroyed on the night of the fish-man and they were in debt, so they desperately embarked on the road of no return to mercenaries.

After all, a mercenary is a man who makes money by gambling with his life, and if he doesn't have confidence in his abilities or has no choice, who would do it?

"And what about you, Brother Tom?"

John, who has been fishing for generations, is particularly curious about this alien from the north: "I heard that the caster has a carriage to pick him up when he goes out, why are you also an adventurer?" ”

Because of the forced to live a poor and weak life, Chen Zhou said in his heart, who doesn't want to be a national first-class protected waste?

"It's just a drop-by, and not all spellcasters have money."

In fact, it's just that mages have money, or they can't be mages without money at all—mortals always have to pay a price for chasing the power of magic.

Whether it's money, or faith, or soul, or you have to follow a certain way of life, there are only a few warlocks who have the power of prostitution.

"Well, you're in the wrong place." Wright, who was more gossip than Chen Zhou, looked around and whispered, "Have you heard, Baron Adolf's wife ran away with the warlock some time ago!" ”

Very classic warlock joke, but what does this have to do with Chen Zhou.

"Don't you know? Adolf is the youngest person, and he has a good background in the military port, but he is much more domineering than the flower lady, and there are rumors in the flower port that he is angry with the people because of various things! ”

"It's normal, mediocrity always blames others for their mistakes."

Jerry, the phoenix chick of intelligence (9), said this while pedaling the wheel.

Hearing this, Chen Zhou's face was a little ugly, if Baron Adolphus really vented his anger on himself, it would be troublesome, and he couldn't reveal his identity as a warlock when he entered the White Eagle Harbor.

"It's okay, I'll play a two-handed instrument, and I'll pretend to be a bard when the time comes." Chen Zhou is very confident in the triangular iron skills he learned in the Children's Palace.

Pretending to be a famous triangle performance artist?

As soon as these words came out, both John and Wright couldn't hold back a smile.

"Actually......"

The latter thought for a moment and continued to reveal: "Baron Adolphus already has four or five wives running away with the poet. ”

Good guys, run one with the Warlock and four with the Poet?

"Adolf's specialty is to introduce people to charismatic people, I wrote down the rats, ask them how many baroness and sorcerers have run? Does the Baron keep female hamsters?"

Chen Zhou refused to ask such a boring question, and just waited for the place to buy Jerry a beautiful mouse.

"Really?"

Of course...... It's cooked, and the three-month-old space hamster thinks of something beautiful!

"Alas, let's talk about it then, I can still hide if I can't afford to provoke me." Chen Zhou pondered, hoping that this baron would not be ignorant.

The vigil of the first half of the night passed in a flash-by-step between the three of them.

When the second half of the night came, Chen Zhou, who had completed the handover, fell asleep peacefully in the sound of the rollers that he had gradually adapted.

There are magic alarms around him and around him, Jerry can wake him up telepathically, and mage armor is available 24 hours a day.

If something goes wrong like this, even he won't be able to do it.

There had been no rumored danger along the way, and those who attacked the caravan might have given up when they saw so many mercenaries......

……

I don't know how long it took, a series of sharp sirens sounded in the mind of the sleeping Chen Zhou.

Instantly awakened by the magic effect, he hurriedly got up and picked up Jerry in the cage.

"Good morning, kitten, shall we go chop something?"

Stuffing Jerry into his magic pocket, Chen Zhou watched his surroundings vigilantly.

The magic alarm that has just been triggered comes from the outside of the camp, and this magic is able to filter and exclude a certain range of objects, and it is rarely triggered by mistake under normal circumstances.

"Be careful, I hear something approaching." Chen Zhou pushed the sleepy-eyed guards nearby.

Even the warlock said this, and the guards, who had been a little dozing, suddenly became alert and woke up everyone who were asleep.

It didn't take long for several holes to suddenly open around the camp, and from them jumped out of them a dense mass of small creatures.

It was a small, scaly, lizard-like head with a barking dog-like creature - kobolds!

These distant dragons who are good at burrowing and mining are cowardly and rarely appear in front of their enemies.

And once they show up, it means only one thing - kobolds have the absolute upper hand!

As holes appeared around the camp, a moment later, kobolds poured in like a tidal wave!
