Chapter 199: Departure

The next day, the merchant group officially set off on the road, it should be the level 3 magic crystal that worked, Seth even prepared a carriage for the two of them alone, although most of the space on it was filled with spices, which was quite a good treatment.

"I really envy you young people," invited Fang Qiubai and Illya to get into his carriage, and said with feeling.

"Haluha, Uncle Seth, how can you say that, or you go south and north, and live a free life. Fang Qiubai looked at the mighty caravan and neat and orderly mercenaries outside the car with interest, and said with a smile.

"I think the two of them are only 20 years old, and they are in their youth. When I was your age, I only dared to dig herbs behind others, and I didn't dare to go too far from the city, let alone go to those places of interest on the mainland," Seth leaned back in his chair and waved his hand and laughed to himself.

"Uncle Seth, you're not old, you run such a large caravan, you're much more powerful than ordinary people. Seeing that Fang Qiubai was busy watching the movement outside the car, Illya couldn't help but smile and said.

"We have no way to make a living, otherwise who wants to do what caravan is, it will be months to come and go, although the profit is good, but the cost is also large, you see that my guard labor also needs money, and I have to hire so many mercenaries, a caravan can't bear it at all, so I can only find more merchants to unite." Seth sighed, stretched out his hand and pointed at the mercenary outside the car and said helplessly.

"Speaking of which, you actually hired 500 mercenaries, isn't there too many? Is this road very dangerous?" Maybe it was because they had just set off, everyone was in very good spirits, and the mercenaries were also holding their heads high to keep the team neat, looking at the performance of the mercenaries, Fang Qiubai couldn't help but ask.

"If you want to talk about danger, it's not as good as the famine desert, but so many of us are easy targets for bandits, and if you hire more people, those robbers will naturally consider whether to take action, so that you can avoid a lot of trouble. If there are fewer robbers, they will shoot on impulse, and if they lose people or things, they will lose a lot of money. Seth explained carefully with a helpless smile on his face.

"I see, that means that in fact, this road is still very safe, and these are all veteran mercenaries who are only used to support the façade?" Illya couldn't help but ask, in her opinion, the mercenaries outside are at least level 3 or above, if they are only used to intimidate robbers, it seems a bit wasteful.

"Generally speaking, when you see a team of so many people, those bandit groups will not take the initiative to take action, after all, even if they can win, they will lose a lot, and at that time, it will be easy to be swallowed up by other bandit groups, so we only need to pay a small amount of tolls, but if the number is large, but the strength is poor, it is easy to be treated as a fat sheep, so the strength of the mercenaries cannot be too bad. Seeing Illya's doubts, Seth opened his mouth to explain.

However, Seth's psychology is strange, the two young people in front of him are like young people who go out for the first time, they don't seem to have much strength, but they want to travel through a country to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and both of them don't understand these things that are common sense, in Seth's opinion, this behavior is somewhat unwise.

"How long will it take to get to the Yongan Empire from here?" Fang Qiubai suddenly asked.

"There are so many of us who advance during the day and camp at night, if nothing else, we will be able to reach the border city of Biton of the Yongan Empire in more than ten days, which, like the Blue Sword Fort, is also a place with extremely developed commerce. Seth replied casually, adding after that, "Once there, you'll need to continue north, through the port of Cairia, to reach the place where the stars fall." ”

"It seems that Uncle Seth also knows a lot about this place where the stars have descended?" Fang Qiubai couldn't help but ask.

"Ha Luha, we people are more well-informed, but I really don't have time to go, but I heard that there are often stars falling there, and if you can pick up the fragments of the stars, it will be very prosperous, and your wishes will come true. Seth said with a smile.

"Eh, is there such a thing, what should I do if a meteor falls down and kills someone?" Fang Qiubai suddenly asked.

"I hate it, just know that it's nonsense. Illya pushed Fang Qiubai dissatisfied.

"Ha Luha, speaking of which, I once asked this question, and the man answered me like this. Seth raised his eyebrows and slanted his eyes when he said this, looking at Fang Qiubai with a gaze like an idiot, and his mouth also changed to a mocking tone: "You are stupid, there is a place where the stars come!"

After waiting for a while, and not seeing Seth continue, Fang Qiubai asked cautiously, "And then?"

"And then there was no one, and I still don't know what that person was trying to say," Seth replied helplessly.

"Hey" Fang Qiubai sighed weakly, Illya was more interested in this magical place, looking at her excited expression, she couldn't wait to arrive immediately.

After a while, the leaders of several other caravans came to talk to Seth, and Fang Qiubai and Illya were very cooperative and said goodbye to Seth and returned to their cars.

"Hey, it's been more than 10 days, although I want to imitate the life of ordinary people, but it's too boring. Fang Qiubai was lying in the carriage, and his body was in a large font and complained.

"It's just set off, and I don't think it's boring, there are so many people together, in the past, Uncle Bruce and I could only take on some simple tasks, haunting around the city, this is the first time I've met a business group of this size!" Illya sat beside Fang Qiubai, looking at the long convoy outside, her tone was full of novelty and excitement.

"As long as you like it, we have a lot of time anyway, so it's better to meet more bandits or something. Fang Qiubai moved his body, pillowed his head on Illya's lap, and said comfortably.

"Other businessmen are afraid of meeting robbers, and you still want to meet you, if Uncle Seth knows that you think so, he will definitely not take you by the way. Poking Fang Qiubai's head with her finger, Illya said with a smile.

"Where can you meet robbers, look at Uncle Seth, they must have taken this route specifically, everything can't be more familiar, even if they do, they are probably acquaintances. Fang Qiubai squinted and explained.

"It's good to be safe, who wants their family to come out well, but they can only be carried back by others. Illya looked at the serious mercenaries outside the car and said thoughtfully.

"Speaking of which, I can summon me today, so remember to cover up for me after camping for a while. Fang Qiubai suddenly spoke.

"Well, no problem. Hearing Fang Qiubai say that she was going to make a new summoning, Illya also had a hint of expectation, she simply wanted to know how powerful the character Fang Qiubai could find this time, or something magical. Every time Fang Qiubai summoned a person or thing, everyone could be surprised, and Illya was no exception, and even in a way, she was looking forward to the summoning every three days than Fang Qiubai herself.

"Speaking of which, I promised to give Su Na a gadget last time, and I really don't know what to give her. Fang Qiubai suddenly muttered to himself.

"You won't have a crush on Suna, will you?" Illya stretched out a finger and pressed it to Fang Qiubai's eyebrows, and asked viciously.

"Xiaoya, aren't you, Suna is just a child. Fang Qiubai replied with a wry smile.

"Are you trying to please your sister Tina?" asked Illya, earnestly.

"Hey, you're thinking too much, this is the last time I promised Suna that if she can keep up with Bale's training, I'll give her a prop. Fang Qiubai wanted to stand up, but he couldn't contribute, so he had to explain.

"Then why don't you send her and not others?" Illya asked pretending to be angry, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face, she actually knew very well that Fang Qiubai had no other thoughts, but it was rare for the two of them to be alone, and they suddenly wanted to tease each other.

"She's a child, and it's not easy to persevere, so I said give her as a reward, if you don't want to, I won't give it away. Seeing Illya's expression, Fang Qiubai thought that the other party really cared about this matter, and couldn't help but say.

"Stupid, I'm not angry, don't change your mind because of me. Illya removed her fingers, bent down and put her forehead on Fang Qiubai's forehead, and said softly: "As long as you really like them, I won't refuse."

"Xiaoya" Suddenly, Fang Qiubai found that he didn't know what to say, he had love for Xiaoya, gratitude to her, and even a hint of joy.
