PS: Thank you for the monthly pass that Tianxin asked

"The carriage has arrived, and you are free to ride on one of them. ”

After finishing his conversation with Barnsley, Luke said to the others.

Luke was hired by Luke to do the mission, and in addition to Barnsley, there were eleven people, both men and women, all of whom were wizarding apprentices affiliated with the Promisus Torch, and Gehr was standing among them.

Before leaving the Academy, everyone present signed a contract with Luke for the Academy to act as a notary, which could protect the interests of both parties to the greatest extent, which was one of the reasons why Luke only wanted to find someone from the Academy.

Soon, five carriages came to the crowd, end to end, lined up. In the driver's seat, it was not human, but a roughly humanoid form, but the torso and limbs were like monsters spliced together from dead wood. Gehr searched through the relevant information in his memory, and soon determined that this was a humanoid creature called the Deadwood Demon, with an average IQ, a gentle temperament, and a good affinity for herbivores, and was trained by wizards to be used as a coachman or ranch keeper for a long time, and has always been one of the most popular service humanoids.

As for Luke's phrase of free choice, everyone knows that it is polite, no apprentice will go to grab the first two carriages with two wizards, and they are all consciously dispersed to the next three carriages.

Gehr was on the last carriage, and there were two other men in the same carriage with him, a man and a woman, who seemed to know each other, and sat relatively closely, and as soon as they got into the carriage they began to whisper.

"Hi, I'm Griezmann, a first-year student. This mission is mainly responsible for reconnaissance missions. ”

When there was a shaking of the carriage in the carriage, Gehr took the initiative to greet the two people in front of him.

Hear Gehr's words. The two apprentices who were talking were slightly stunned and looked at each other. It seemed that he was a little unaccustomed to Gehr's friendliness, and after a while, the male apprentice was the first to respond: "Hello, I'm Gruul, a fourth-year student, and I'm mainly in charge of medical care. ”

"Erin, 5th grader, melee. Following the male apprentice's answer, the female apprentice also briefly introduced herself.

The two apprentices in the same car as Gehr were very ordinary-looking, and their skin was dull and rough. It looks like he is often in the wild, and he must have participated in a lot of missions and has a lot of experience.

Come to think of it, the people who can be found by Luke, the chosen wizard, to participate in the mission should be people with excellent strength, and they must have their advantages.

Unlike wizards, because the apprentices have not completed the talent spell model, they do not have the protective force field that wizards always surround themselves, so they cannot cover the energy fluctuations on their bodies. If you don't have a special technique, you can easily feel the magic items you are carrying.

Just like the current female apprentice named Erin, Gehr felt the fluctuation of magic items in her, among the more than ten apprentices who joined the mission this time. Not counting Gel himself, there are only three carrying magical items, which can be considered the strongest of these apprentices.

As for Gruul, there were no anything of any value on him, and his apprentice robes seemed to have been sewn up. And there was some whitish in some places, which was the result of having to rely on hand washing to clean it after the slight stain removal technique on the original apprentice's robe failed. It looks like he's in a very bad financial situation. Coupled with the fact that he has no magic items, his strength should be at the bottom of the apprenticeship. However, he said that the task in charge was medical, and it looked like it was in the same situation as Gehr - in charge of a specific task.

Wizards and apprentices are mostly unsociable due to their long focus on various studies, and the same is true for the three people in the carriage, and after just a few casual words, Grull and Irene are not interested in continuing to talk. Ger no longer tried to talk, he was not the kind of person who liked to socialize, and the previous conversation was just to get to know each other in general.

Now that the other two didn't want to talk, Gehr leaned against the corner of the carriage, recuperating and calculating some questions.

For this mission, Gehr has also made certain preparations, and there will be no big progress in spells in a short period of time, so his attention has been on pharmacy recently.

He borrowed a sum of money directly from Longbottom, bought materials and prepared a batch of stone skin potions, and then collected some more practical low-level recipes and made some for backup.

Now under the apprentice's robe, outside the hunting suit he was wearing, a tough Haifa sand snake belt was straddled diagonally from his left shoulder to his right waist, and bottles of potions were neatly inserted on it, so that he could take them out and use them as quickly as he needed them.

In addition, he also had a delicate hand crossbow that the Serena family had helped him get from his waist, hanging from his waist, and several green potion bottles hanging nearby, which contained the venom he had specially prepared for the crossbow arrows.

As for the cross sword, because he was not the main combat officer in this mission, he did not carry it for the convenience of movement, but he tied a belt around the outside of his thigh, and there was a row of iron daggers inserted in the belt, a total of eight, plus two long melee daggers hanging on the back waist, which was considered to be fully armed to the extreme, and now his dress has a taste of a wilderness ranger.

Five days later in the night.

The carriage then entered a somewhat deserted town at night.

Outside the town, some local aristocrats were already waiting.

Luke went up to talk to the nobles, and then led the group out of the car, and after rounding a small hill, they came to the edge of a small terminal tower that was well hidden.

Apparently this place was probably owned by Luke's family, and Gell judged that it was similar in nature to the smuggling dock.

The terminal tower is also quite rudimentary, all of them are wooden structures, and the height is about the same as a clock tower, not to mention the outside of the mugwort rift, even compared to the wild area of Motazarus, which is much worse.

But now it's enough for everyone to use.

Walking down the creaking wooden circular staircase, the group was led by Luke to the top of the terminal tower, where a small transport airship was already waiting.

Without stopping, everyone immediately boarded the boat and continued the next part of the journey.

The journey to the heavens lasted half a month, and the airship stopped at a rudimentary terminal tower similar to the one it had set off.

Now, with the exception of Luke and Barnsley, the rest of the apprentices had no idea where they were.

Luke didn't mean to explain this, and led the group into the town where the terminal tower belonged, and after resting for the night in a large private villa, everyone got into a carriage again and headed to their real destination.

This time it was very short, only three days, and the team reached a canyon.

"From this valley is the Zaroro Marsh, where our destination is. Luke pointed to the valley filled with white mist and explained to the crowd.

"Zaroro Marsh? Barnsley's voice was tinged with surprise.

Some of the apprentices were also stunned when they heard Luke's words.

Gehr looked around, and saw that Grull seemed to know the ground, so he asked softly, "Where is the Zaroro Marsh?"

"It's on the edge of us and the Wild Lands, at the northernmost point of the Silent Mountains, and the nearest safe base here is at least five days away. Grull gave Gehr a quick explanation.

After hearing Grull's words, Gehr probably knew where he was now.

The Silent Mountains are the natural barrier zone of the wizard's territory, and outside the Silent Mountains is a place beyond the control of wizards, and it is a paradise for mutant beasts and various monsters, so it is collectively called the Wild Land.

Just said it simply, Luke didn't say anything more, and led directly into the canyon, and everyone immediately followed into the canyon.

Outside the canyon, the sun is shining, but as soon as you enter the canyon, a damp and cold feeling envelops you, surrounded by white mist, and you can only see a gray patch when you look up, as if the previous sunlight was just an illusion.

On both sides are the dark shadows of the mountains, and the ground is moist sand, leaving shallow footprints after everyone walks by.

Everyone quietly followed Luke, no one spoke, only the rustling of footsteps kept coming, and on both sides of the "road", a small black shadow passed through from time to time among the clumps of weeds between the jagged and strange rocks, bringing the grass to shake.

The canyon wasn't long, and after walking for about two hours, they saw rows of gray wood fences at the exit, as quiet as the canyon they had just entered.

"Perudeau!"

Suddenly, Luke shouted and walked briskly forward.

The people behind him knew that the situation had changed in some unknown way, and immediately hurried to follow Luke.

Luke stopped in front of the fence, his head bowed as if looking for something, and although he couldn't see his expression, everyone knew that he must not be in a calm mood.

"What's wrong?" broke the atmosphere by Barnsley, who was also a wizard. He walked over to Luke's side and looked around his surroundings.

"This entrance was originally guarded by a squad of knights from my clan, and they would never leave without my orders. Luke replied, just enough to be heard by everyone behind him.

Listening to Luke's words, Gell observed the ground around the lower entrance, and there was no trace of messiness except for the footprints they had brought with them.

After continuing to walk around the valley, no trace was found, especially according to Luke, who said that there were no traces left by the garrison here, as if no one had ever existed here, which made the situation seem a little strange.

Ahead, Luke and Barnsley seemed to have come to an outcome, bypassing the fence blocking the entrance and entering a territory that might have been different from what they had expected. (To be continued......)
