PS: Thank you to the boss and Ah Fat, like the mini monthly pass

It's a "trip".

Gehr understood Natalia's words very deeply.

Not only was it a long way – they spent more than a month in the carriage, and there were one or two more every day—the same sturdy men and women in handcuffs made the carriage more like a tourist van for sightseeing, if the people inside weren't carrying all sorts of tools to restrict movement.

And more wagons were constantly flowing into this convoy, and after more than ten days of traveling, it had become a large caravan with nearly twenty large caravans, and it was clear that Natalia was quite influential on this road, and all the passes and towns along the way could easily pass and be replenished, and there was no censorship.

As for the caravan's caravan business, it was the people who stayed in the car.

That's right, this caravan claims to be a slave caravan.

Although the countries of the mainland have great restrictions on the slave trade, and their own residents are absolutely not allowed to be traded as slaves, they turn a blind eye to slaves from other sources.

In fact, from ancient times to the present, manpower has always been the most important resource, no matter which empire must be rooted in abundant human resources, without enough people to support, then all hegemony is just a passing cloud.

For example, the Principality of Haysting is a prime example. The proportion of its ethnic composition, which is the founding nation of the Principality of Haisting, is only 30%, which is still achieved through the unremitting efforts of successive monarchs for a hundred years, but compared to other countries, even among the second-rate countries, it ranks first. So no matter how strong it seems, as long as it gets out of hand. The entire empire collapsed with a bang.

For a weak country to develop, it needs sufficient manpower. In order to maintain its own advantages, a strong country needs sufficient manpower.

In this era, the population was never too large, and the plundering of the natives of the open sea had never ceased since they became seafaring.

Therefore, for the slave trade, which can be an effective supplement to human resources, in the eyes of all countries, as long as it does not involve its own citizens and is publicized on the surface, then everything is feasible, of course, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, railways are not allowed to be used, and slave traders can only rely on traditional modes of transportation for trade.

Obviously, Natalia's caravan was not once or twice engaged in such activities. The journey along the way was very smooth, and the planning of each stop was very good, and each stop and supply were almost as accurate as the seconds were pinched.

Gehr's caravan was a good fit for the entire convoy, with Ger and Carmelita taking up half of the space and eating decent food every day - compared to the other people's black bread, Gel and Carmelita had buttered bread and roast meat every day.

Of course, for the treatment of the two, except for Beto, the rest of the passengers were envious and jealous, but after the two guys who wanted to challenge Gehr's authority in this carriage were thrown out of the car. They could only curse secretly in their hearts.

As Gehr's No. 1 dogleg in the carriage, Beto's life is also a little better than the rest, which also makes him more affectionate to Gehr.

In fact, there is something he didn't dare to tell the truth, in fact, the main reason why he was arrested. He and his brothers saw that Natalia and her party were very rich, so they did something about it. It's a pity that their usual trick that is particularly useful against the intersecting traders is to kick it on a steel plate, and not only was it discovered. He was also captured as a slave. If he hadn't clinged to Gehr's side, he wouldn't have had a much better life than these slaves.

The convoy traveled south. Except for a short stop for supplies, the rest of the time is constantly on the road.

After half a month of conduct. The convoy crossed the most prosperous central area of Gantt, and the surrounding woods and meadows gradually became yellow, and more and more gray stones of all kinds began to appear in the surrounding environment, and the plains where they were originally located began to turn into uneven mountains.

At first, you can meet some people, such as caravans, travelers, farmers, and hunters, but gradually you will rarely meet others.

A month later.

On the gray mountain road, a somewhat muddy river looms in the mountains. There was no sun in the afternoon, the temperature seemed a little low, and only the cold wind whined on the silent mountain road.

"It's almost to the beach, and I can already smell the fishy smell of the sea breeze. ”

Gell leaned against the window and looked out at the sky.

In his eyes, the analysis module is constantly analyzing the components of the air, wind speed and humidity and other information, and the rows of data are constantly refreshing like a waterfall in the corner of the field of vision, changing rapidly.

"Based on the direction and the time it took to get there, we should have reached the province of Taginia in Gantt. Carmelita looked at the sky, continued to flip through the Holy Spirit Sect brochure in her hand, and said very flatly: "If there is no accident, we should be at our destination in two days at most." ”

Every slave had this pamphlet in their hands, and Gehr and Carmelita were no exception, and even if the illiterate people had time to read it every day, it must be said that these people really spared no effort in spreading the faith.

It is said that after becoming an honest believer, you can get rid of the status of slaves, so many slaves work hard to learn everything in the pamphlet, even Beto takes a copy and flips through it without doing anything, not only because it represents the hope of changing his identity, but also because there is nothing else to do in the car every day, and not finding something to do will drive people crazy.

Gehr didn't need to, he had too many books in his storage module, and with the addition of the public library in Bern and Salorath's private library, he could open a library if he was given time. Of course, the book is recorded does not mean that I have learned, and if you want to master it thoroughly, you need to understand it deeply, and the time in the carriage is just right for him to study and organize systematically, and it is a little leisurely for a while.

The rest of the time he would think about Lucarine and Sophia, because his heart was like a dry earth, with no grass growing. And on the path of his pursuit of strength, he is like a lost man walking in the desert, full of depression, loneliness, and weakness buried under a hard shell. The current love and family affection are a rain that represents life for him, making his heart sprout and full of vitality, and he enjoys all kinds of beautiful scenery on the way forward.

Sometimes he thinks of Salorath, and he doesn't know what happened to this conflicted princess, but he thinks that he has fulfilled all his promises, and he has a clear conscience.

As for Merzai's situation, Gehr is not worried at all, with Eric's ability, it is impossible to miss such a good opportunity, as long as the Slark army goes, with Melzai as the foundation, and with the support of Shanghai Warsaw, maybe Haysting's future will be pinned on Sylvia.

Unlike Gehr, who was able to flip through the various knowledge in the storage module for in-depth study, Carmelita could only flip through the brochure of the Holy Spirit Sect without any trouble, although she did not deal with the Holy Spirit Sect, but the evaluation she gave was still very fair.

"The Holy Spirit Church does have their excellence in terms of publicity, and the standard of this book is really high. ”

Geer also flipped through the pages, and found that there was no traditional doctrinal content in it, it was composed of small stories about the gods, which could be read as a collection of stories, and it was obvious that this kind of writing was indeed very attractive to ordinary people.

Gehr's leisurely time didn't last long, and as Carmelita had predicted, they were already able to hear about the tide two days later.

The destination is a small village by the sea.

It looks different from your average fishermen's village, but Carmerita says it's a typical smuggling village.

Unlike the province of Vmanstad, which had the best coastline and concentrated most of the maritime trade industry in the territory of the Gantt Empire, the province of Taginia, where Gehr was located, lacked land resources and had a very steep coastline, so there were not many places that could be used as good ports, and because it was far from the main shipping lanes, the Gantt Empire had no intention of developing it into a maritime trade area.

Formal maritime trade did not work, so the province of Taginia naturally embarked on another path - smuggling. The local lords and officials have always turned a blind eye to smuggling, after all, this is also an important way for them to make money, and some simply join the smuggling team, so almost every village here is involved in smuggling.

Natalia puts the destination here, then the purpose is clear, and nine times out of ten, the next stop will be the sea.

Sure enough, everyone was kicked out of the car, and after spending the night in what looked like a cargo warehouse, the next day they began their next journey at sea.

Smuggling dock in the village of Malen.

A small road, which runs from the pier into the sea, is tens of meters long. The pavement was paved with dark yellow planks, which smelled of seawater and rotting wood.

On both sides of the path are deep blue, almost blackened water, which laps against the base of the path in waves as the wind and waves crash against the base of the path.

Gell and Camerita were put on new chains and escorted to the end of the path by four soldiers with bows and crossbows.

There are some small sampans waiting there.

After the two men and the escort soldiers were on board, the sampan left the dock and headed for the depths of the ocean.

Soon, when Gehr could no longer see the shoreline, a blue-and-white cargo ship appeared on the horizon in front of the sampan.

Gehr looked up at the ships in the distance, his eyes full of blue. The blue sky, the blue sea, is completely the same color as the sea and the sky, only in the middle, a small dot with white and blue, is rapidly enlarging in the field of vision.

The salty and strong sea breeze blew through the corners of the clothes.

As he got closer, Gehr saw an acquaintance on the side of the ship.

Belliv. (To be continued......)
