Chapter 6: The Caravan (I)
The eagle flew to the treetops, paused for a moment, and then landed. He smiled and said: "It's a horse team, it seems to be a merchant horse team, there are a lot of guards, riding ordinary horses, not Fu horses, there should be no threat to us, just communicate with them and ask about the situation here." ”
There were about 100 horses, and in the middle of the procession was a kind of camel beast, which was specially domesticated to carry goods, and looked a bit like an elephant, but it did not have the long trunk and tusks of an elephant, and its body was large, and its limbs were stout, and it was covered with wooden carriages, which were piled with goods.
The camel beast has a string of bells around its neck, which makes a crisp jingling sound when it walks.
Guo 12 and they stood in the middle of the road, looking at the horse team curiously. None of the three actually landed on the ground, but hovered a meter above the ground.
The horse team turned around a forest and immediately found Guo Twelve and the others, and there was a sudden chaos. Soon three riders galloped over, three men dressed as guards. When they were still 100 meters away from Guo 12 and the others, the three of them began to slow down. Just kidding, these three people are actually suspended on the road, and at a glance, you can tell that they are powerful characters.
Guo Twelve smiled: "Uncle Eagle Demon, will we be misunderstood if we are like this...... Is it a robber?"
The Eagle Demon shook his head and said, "Robbers, robbers won't let them find out at all, and they will wait until they are in front of them...... They're finished, so they won't stand in front of them generously, humming, thinking about ...... back then"
Luo Zhan said with a smile: "Eagle, I know that you are a grassland thief, and you have robbed people all your life." ”
Eagle Demon scolded with a smile: "His grandmother's, Lao Luo, don't talk nonsense, it's half a lifetime! Since I followed Twelve, I have never done it again, what, I want to try it this time?"
The three big men leaned over in disbelief. In their knowledge, they had never seen anyone hovering in the air, and these three people were gorgeously dressed and extraordinary, and their clothes were not at all local style, regardless of the style of clothing, they were extremely strange, and they knew at a glance that they were not locals.
The three of them sat on their horses, feeling a little uneasy. The big man at the head took a few steps forward with the reins of his horse and said, "May I ask the three of you...... Friend, what advice......" He didn't know what to say for a while, these three guys were putting too much pressure on people.
The Eagle Demon stepped forward and said, "Don't be nervous, we have no ill intentions, it's just that this place is too unfamiliar, I want to inquire about some information, who is your principal? Let him come and see us." ”
With the strength of the three of them, on any continent, they can almost walk sideways, and as long as they don't meet a master with an altar, there is no danger, so the words of the Eagle Demon are quite polite.
Beads of sweat were already on the forehead of the man at the head, and the pressure on him from the Eagle Demon was too great, and he almost couldn't sit in the saddle steadily, and subconsciously said, "Yes...... My lord. He turned his horse's head and said, "Let's go back and report!"
After a while, the caravan stopped, seven or eight horses galloped towards it, and a middle-aged man stepped forward and said, "My lord, what do you command? I am the captain of the caravan...... Chen Yuxian. He rolled over and dismounted, and said very respectfully.
Guo Twelve fell to the ground, and the Eagle Demon flew forward and landed in front of Chen Yuxian, frightening Chen Yuxian to take a few steps back. He has been in business for decades, and it is the first time he has seen such a powerful person who can fly off the ground. He knew in his heart that this was probably a high-level professional. There were also professionals in his team, but they were all low-level professionals, and he had never seen a flying professional.
Eagle Demon said: "Don't be nervous, if we have malicious intentions, we don't have to be so troublesome at all. "The implication is that if there is malicious intent, you can do it directly, and you don't need to call over to talk at all.
Chen Yu walked around the north and south, of course he understood what the Eagle Demon said, and couldn't help but break out a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead, and said respectfully: "Yes, please come and sit down." ”
A few caravan men spread thick animal skins on the ground and asked Guo Twelve to sit down.
Guo Twelve didn't shirk either, although it looked weird to sit on the road, he didn't care. The road here may not be visited for dozens of days, and sitting on the main road, there will be no traffic jams.
Chen Yuxian sat down with him and said, "My lord, if you have any questions, just ask, as long as I know...... Never hide it. "Walking outside, pay attention to eyesight, with his eyesight, these three people must not be offended.
The Eagle Demon asked, "Where is this?"
Guo Twelve added: "What kind of continent is this?"
Chen Yuxian was a little at a loss, how did he know what continent this was, he was just a businessman, not a professional, even if he was a low-level professional, he wouldn't know what continent this was, because they wouldn't go out of this continent at all. He smiled bitterly and said, "What continent...... I don't know, this is the Apricot Locust Forest, and we are from Dawu City. ”
The Eagle Demon nodded, "Where are you going?"
Chen Yuxian said: "Let's go to Dongcheng, buy some fur mountain goods by the way, and sell a little daily sundries." ”
Luo Zhan asked, "This area...... Are there any powerful mutant rune beasts?"
Chen Yuxian was startled, shook his head again and again, and said: "No, there are no mutant rune beasts here!, otherwise we won't dare to take this road......" He hesitated for a moment and said: "Although there are no mutant rune beasts, some of the beasts and rune beasts here are also very powerful, if you are unlucky, you may encounter robbers and bandits." ”
Guo Twelve asked, "We are not familiar with the roads here, how long will it take to get to Dongcheng?"
Chen Yuxian said: "It takes about forty days to get from here to Dongcheng, and if you pass quickly, it will only take about twenty days, and our caravan will go slowly." ”
Guo Twelve asked, "Well, let's join your caravan...... Okay?"
Chen Yu was stunned, how dare he refuse, the businessmen were more tactful, he smiled: "I can't ask for it." He turned his head and said, "Little second son! Second son! Come here...... Lead three good horses. ”
Guo Twelve nodded, very satisfied with Chen Yuxian's attitude, raised his hand and threw him a small cloth bag, this is not a talisman bag, just an ordinary silk cloth bag, with a hundred gold talismans in it, and said: "Here you go, it is considered the food expenses of the three of us." ”
Chen Yuxian opened the silk bag and took out a golden talisman coin, he couldn't help but be taken aback, his voice changed, and said, "Golden talisman money!"
Guo Twelve asked, "Can't you use it?"
Chen Yuxian said continuously: "Can you ...... It works!" his voice trembled. He knew that the gold rune money was a foreign rune money, but it was a hard currency locally, and it was more valuable than the local rune money. He had also seen gold rune money before, and it was a little different from this style, but gold rune money was gold rune money, and its own value was very high.
After counting, there were a total of 100 gold runes. The goods he transported this time, all combined, could not be exchanged for a hundred gold runes. Chen Yuxian's palms were sweating, his heart was beating wildly, it was not that he had never seen the golden rune money, but the three people in front of him were too arrogant, which made him feel a little unreal.
Chen Yuxian gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, it's too much......"
The Eagle Demon said casually: "If you have more, you will take it, even if it is a reward for you." ”
Chen Yuxian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then thank you." He got up and shouted, "Little second son, hurry up, bring the horse over, by the way, my horse will also be given to the adult!"
The trio successfully joined the horse team.
Under the command of Chen Yuxian, the caravan set off again.
The horse that Guo Twelve rode was Chen Yuxian's, a big black horse, it is said that this horse has the bloodline of Fu Horse, and his temperament is very irritable, but what surprised Chen Yuxian is that Guo Twelve just patted the horse's head, and this irritable horse was as well-behaved as a grandson, and rubbed Guo Twelve with his big head flatteringly.
The caravan moved fast, and the camel beast, despite all the things it carried, ran no less than the horse, and the jingling bells rang incessantly along the way.
Guo Twelve said curiously: "Chen Yuxian, do you have a lot of caravans here?"
Chen Yuxian said respectfully: "Many, our caravan is medium, and there are some large caravans, there are thousands of people at a time, they can hire those very powerful professionals, take dangerous roads, go to distant cities, and the benefits are much greater than ours." ”
Eagle Demon asked, "Do you have many professionals here?"
Chen Yuxian shook his head and said, "There are not many professionals. ”
Eagle Demon Qi said, "Is the city here controlled by the professional family?"
Chen Yuxian said: "We don't have any family here, the professionals are all professional soldiers of the city, all the professionals are trained by the city army, we call it the city guard here, and those who come down from the army will accept caravan employment, or be hired by the rich." ”
Guo Twelve asked, "Do professionals have a high status here?"
Chen Yuxian said: "The status of professionals is very high, but the status of low-level professionals is average, similar to that of us businessmen. ”
Guo Twelve hadn't paid attention to these things for a long time, and for them, when their strength reached the level of a high-level saint master, they had reached the peak of their careers. As for those professions who have built the altar, they are another system, they belong to super professionals, and this kind of people, whether they are in the family or in the sect, belong to the existence of the family beyond the sect.
The Eagle Demon shook his head and said, "There is no professional family here, so is there a professional sect?"
Chen Yuxian said: "No, well, I can't say no, it's just the city I've been to...... No. "After all, he is not as well-informed as a professional because his range of activities is too small.
Guo Twelve knew that he couldn't ask anything, and said, "There is a village not far ahead. ”
Chen Yuxian was surprised: "Yes, it's Xiaomu Village, it's a hunter village, our caravan will go to buy some fur mountain goods, so we have to stay in Xiaomu Village for a day and take a rest by the way." ”
Guo Twelve nodded and walked with the caravan, his mood gradually calmed down, because this pace was very slow. He let out a sigh of relief, and his eyes became clear. Eagle Demon kept an eye on him and asked, "Twelve, what's wrong with you?"
Guo Twelve said: "We are running all the way, too impatient, hehe, maybe we have been out of the crowd for too long, we have been adventuring in the secret realm, our mentality is a little wrong, even if we are in a hurry to go home, it shouldn't be like this, Uncle Eagle Demon, thank you, I plan to stay for a while and calm myself down completely." ”
