Chapter Eighty-Nine: Dragon's Back Heights
Herag really asked this question just curiously.
Robert was surprised: "My lord, how did you know that it was me who was following that day?" โ
He remembered that he had been far away that day, and that he had taken cover, and that it was impossible for Herag to see what he looked like.
"You don't care about that." Naturally, Herag would not answer his question.
Robert thought about it, the mystic has many means, and it is normal to know that it is himself.
He said: "Originally, according to the rules of the industry, I can't say it, even if we are tortured to extract confessions, we must abide by industry ethics." But since you asked, I will still answer. โ
"The one who hired me to assassinate Josh was actually Count Hoon."
"Count Hoon?" When Herag heard this answer, he was a little surprised, but not very surprised.
Robert laughed: "I don't know what these nobles are thinking in their heads, how can a father hire a murderer to kill his youngest son." But as an adventurer, as long as he has enough money, I won't care about these reasons. โ
Herag nodded, "I see, go back." โ
"Take care, my lord!" Robert bowed solemnly, and then gently closed the door and went out.
"Count Hoon? It seems that he has chosen an heir for himself, and now he can live for a few more decades, and it is estimated that he will not have to choose. No wonder he was hesitant about the source of the resentful doll at the beginning, and it seemed that he was afraid that this matter would be exposed. Herag shook his head, and didn't think about this nobleman's affairs anymore, just eating melons.
Three days later, Mirรณ came to his door in person and brought the formalities that Hellag needed.
His new identity is Jaylant Logan, a down-and-out nobleman from the countryside around Stormwind who became an adventurer because of his family's downturn.
He went to the Kingdom of Doris this time to see new opportunities to explore.
All the official documents are available, and the identification documents are so detailed that no one can tell that they are forged, which can save Herag a lot of trouble.
Although Herag can enter the Kingdom of Doris through unconventional means, it is better to have more than less, and if he can go through the normal channel, he can go through the normal channel.
He looked at his identification, looked up and asked, "Does this Geraint really exist?" This proof of identity is also too real. โ
Miro laughed, "There will always be idiots who sell everything for money. โ
He just smiled and didn't say much, but Herag understood what he meant.
This Geraint, most likely, is no longer alive.
"No wonder this identity is so real, because it's real." Knowing what to say, Gerag put the papers away.
In order to get things done, Miro will definitely kill Geralt, he doesn't want Herag to have his identity certificate at that time, but a person rushes out next to him and says that he is the real Geraint, which will ruin Helag's business.
It's definitely a good thing for him to be able to please a mystic.
Therefore, killing a down-and-out nobleman is a trivial matter for him, as long as he can help the Mystic to get things done.
Herag sighed inwardly: "This is the fate of the weak? The strength is not enough, and he doesn't even know why he died. What has it to do with you to destroy you? โ

Three days later, on the main road of Longji Heights, a large caravan was slowly moving forward.
The caravan numbered three or four hundred people, including merchants, slaves, and accompanying escorts.
There were about a hundred guards, some of them wearing uniform armor, and most of them were from powerful adventure groups.
After all, a full set of standard armor is very expensive to build, and only the elite of the powerful adventure group can afford to wear it.
The number of guards in full armor is about fifty, which is only a small half of the guards.
The other guards are all dressed in different ways, and at first glance they are a group of adventurers who have been on the verge of life and death for many years.
Such large caravans often employ such adventurers, which are a little less powerful than powerful adventurers, but they are cheaper.
These adventurers have a crazy pursuit of making money, and the caravan only needs to stand in the adventurer's hall and roar, and countless adventurers will recommend themselves and rush to join the caravan.
When there are more people, the price is easier to negotiate, and businessmen will never spend a penny more, and they will give as low a price as they can.
Although the adventurer secretly scolded the merchant for his stinginess, he could only smile and show how strong he was, how muscular he was, how rich his past experience was, and show himself hard.
If you don't work hard, this order won't be your turn, the competition of adventurers is too fierce, and the involution is serious.
This kind of large caravan is the most comfortable, and although the price is not high, it is also much higher than the ordinary task reward.
The most important thing is that large caravans are rarely in danger, and there will be no stupid robbers to rob such a large caravan, which is self-defeating.
So, the security aspect has improved a lot.
Safe and well-paid, these adventurers naturally rushed to join.
This caravan carried a large number of goods, all of which were ready to be transported from the Violet Kingdom to the Kingdom of Dorus for resale, and the profit could reach six figures in gold after a single trip.
It's just that the road is far away, and it will take half a year to go back and forth, and if you encounter some accidents on the road, the profit will not be easy to say.
It is inevitable that there will be losses, but it depends on how much loss.
Generally, there is only one situation when there is a total loss, that is, the people of the caravan are dead or run away, and they are all miserable.
The Dragon's Back Heights is the only place for the Violet Kingdom to pass through to the Kingdom of Dorys, the altitude is relatively high, and the road is very wide, so there is no problem at all to accommodate such a large-scale convoy.
Herag lay on the bed of a carriage with a fixed stove under which coffee was brewing, and the aroma of coffee lingered in the carriage.
The interior of his carriage is very nice, and everything is the best configuration.
The carriage is very ordinary on the outside, and it is completely impossible to see that the interior is a luxurious carriage.
This is specially prepared for him by Miro, the exterior is ordinary because the most important thing is to be low-key when going out.
Herag's carriage was in the middle of the caravan, and he had it alone.
The rest of the caravan had also heard of his identity, and knew that he was a minor nobleman, but the family did not seem to be doing well, so they prepared to go to the Kingdom of Doris to find an opportunity to restore the family's glory.
Herag stayed in the carriage for the past few days, rarely showing up.
According to the information, it will take about a month for the caravan to pass through this Dragon's Back Heights, and there is still a long way to go.
After walking the Dragon's Back Heights, it will take another two months to reach the border of the Kingdom of Dorus, which is a long journey.
The scenery on the Dragon's Back Heights is very monotonous, with few tall trees and relatively little vegetation.
The route traveled by the caravan was summarized over many years, and there were water sources to replenish along the way. Many wagons are filled with supplies to get through the Dragon's Back Heights, and when they get down the Heights, they can replenish them again and move on.
