    "Drive! Drive! Drive! Little guy, be good, be good." Barrett stepped deftly to avoid the hooves of the strong war horse from time to time. While holding the reins tightly, he stroked the horse's head and neck with his hands to try.  Trying to appease this big guy.  But Claudia, who was on the horse's back, could only hold the horse's neck and clamp its belly up and down at this time.  After being fussy like this for a while, the frightened horse finally calmed down.  Barrett, who finally breathed a sigh of relief, patted Claudia's arm: "Be careful next time and don't act recklessly when you first come into contact with a new mount. If I hadn't been by your side this time, you would have gone to bed.  "Lie down." "I didn't know it would be like this!" After stumbling off the horse, Claudia's legs were weak and she leaned on the saddle: "It obviously wouldn't be like this before!"  They are very sensitive animals, and there are differences between different individuals. Some of them will have emotional ups and downs due to special actions." Speaking of this, Barrett bent down and put his fingers on Claudia's.  In front of me: "Anyway, the next time you come into contact with an unfamiliar mount, it's best to just control it normally before it gets familiar with you." "Yes, yes, yes, can't I remember it?" Claudia gasped  He said angrily, "No, but these war horses seem to be much stronger than the ones we brought back from the Cruz Kingdom?" "After all, these cute big guys are not like their predecessors.  Having just experienced the dual test of food shortage and tiring work, Barrett, who carefully stroked the mane of the war horse, turned around and said, "After a period of training, the gap between the two sides will not be so obvious."  After all, Steward Ingold provided war horses of the same grade. In fact, even if the exchange of war horses was of the same grade, Steward Ingold was still making a loss.  First of all, although the cost of calling war horses from trading houses in other areas is not high, it is not low either.  What's more, unlike these war horses that are well raised and can be put into use at any time.  The batch that players exchanged will require a period of cultivation before they can be used normally, and a lot of additional costs will be incurred.  To be honest, if it weren't for Barrett's identity, he wouldn't have received this level of treatment.  "Come here and serve me!" Clematis, who didn't want to stay in the stable any longer, immediately waved to Barrett.  I was excited to come here early in the morning to try out the new mount, but after this happened, I naturally lost interest.  After shaking his head helplessly, Barrett turned around and held Clematis's arm: "You shouldn't be so weak that you can't walk yet!" "Who said that!"  While speaking, Clematis tugged on Barrett's clothes, as if to vent the emotions he had just accumulated from being tortured by the frightened horse.  Barrett, who could see that this guy was just looking for a source of anger, sighed softly: "It's up to you, it's up to you. Who made you our long-term meal ticket?" "Knowing that I am the big benefactor.  Why don't you try harder?" Claudia said with a sweet smile on her face.  Of course, Barrett was also happy to play role-playing with her: "Yes, yes, yes! Madam, please go ahead, be careful" After putting the last bite of the lettuce salad mixed with olive oil and yogurt into his stomach.  The players who gathered together started a small activity of digesting food after the meal.  As the captain, Prime Minister Barrett cast his eyes on Clematis: "Regarding the recent news about the 'Dragon Queen' church, is there nothing happening in the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' church?" "It seems that there is no news at the moment.  What special information. Either the 'Evil Dragon Queen' church has not conducted any large-scale transactions with the outside world, or their actions are so secretive that even my church has not discovered it yet." I went there again in the morning.  Clematis, who visited the temple, said with certainty.  But then Noodles poured cold water on everyone: "Of course, it's also possible that they paid a huge price to buy the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' and the church turned a blind eye." After hearing this, the players immediately turned their attention to Clay.  Matisse, the latter twitched his lips slightly in embarrassment: "As long as the price is right, it seems that my lord will not refuse such a transaction. But that is definitely a sky-high price, and it is not something that ordinary people can afford." "The news is the best.  The important thing is timeliness. As long as it can be blocked for a certain period of time, it will be considered a win for the 'Evil Dragon Queen' church. If the harvest from the ruins is really rich enough, this may not be possible!"  Here, Barrett's eyes were a little sharp, "And if this is really the case, who will be deceived in the end?" "Our church should not be deceived. We can't get any relevant information.  , is actually the biggest unstable factor, because no matter what the harvest is from the excavation of large-scale ruins like this.?There is bound to be an exodus.  If there is nothing, it will make people more vigilant.  "After thinking about it for a while, the halfling wanderer came to this conclusion. "The Church of the Good Dragon God" and the Church of the "Evil Dragon Queen" have been in love and killing each other for so many years. They have always maintained considerable vigilance after all."  The members of the Church of the Evil Dragon Queen will not give up their attack on the Church of the Good Dragon God just because they have no money, so even if there is no special news about the ruins in the Cruz Kingdom, they will not let the Good Dragon God.  The church has relaxed its vigilance. ¡°So if this speculation is true, will they target the local faction of the Cruz Kingdom?  Barrett touched his chin and said uncertainly: "Use this fear of mystery to gain more time for your excavation activities."  " "It all depends on the character of the commanders on both sides of the Cruze Kingdom.  "Riellie suddenly waved her hand when she said this, "Of course, even those commanders who are cautious will not have their heads filled with blood!  " "The overall military use and tactical style of the Cruze Kingdom are relatively conservative.  This approach, which seems to have dug a trap, may actually have some effect!  "Barrett continued to nod. It was at this moment that Claudia stretched out and complained: "In other words, whether the other party will pose any threat to us depends on every accurate news!  " "It would have been impossible to target us specifically.  Unless we are in the stronghold of the Church of the Good Dragon God.  Otherwise, it will only be actively tracked after all other threats have been eliminated.  "At this point, Barrett spread his hands and said, "Of course, if we meet him on the way, it can only be said to be bad luck.  Clematis immediately turned to look at the halfling wanderer: "Does that mean we'd better not go to the stronghold of the 'Dragon God of Good' church next?"  But this restriction is difficult to achieve for noodles!  After all, he still has to take on new advanced tasks.  " After hearing this, Nian Mian's face became a little ugly, but then he could only bite the bullet and said: "With my skills, even if the stronghold is attacked, it will be easier than ordinary people to escape.  Much more.  " "I hope so!  I just don¡¯t know what an advanced mission is for you?  If possible, it would be better for us to act together.  After saying this, Barrett smiled and said, "Anyway, I have offended the 'Evil Dragon Queen' church quite a lot this time.  There is no shortage of other actions that follow.  " "If it's a new mission, I'll take a look!  If you go to the next stronghold, you must not go in with me.  Lest everyone be made dumplings.  "The halfling rogue, who didn't want to cause any more trouble to his teammates, emphasized. "And Barrett took advantage of the situation and made the final decision: "Then we should no longer just take action when the time comes, we should stay in a place where reinforcements can be made at any time."  This way, if the 'Evil Dragon Queen' church takes any action, the noodles can be kept as safe as possible.  Maybe you can even gain the friendship of the Church of the 'Dragon God of Goodness'.  ¡± Because of waiting for the war horses, the members of the ¡®Blood-stained Ash Flower¡¯ stayed in Nvidia Town for nearly a week. In this not a short period of time, the players gathered all the information they had brought from their previous adventures in the Kingdom of Cruze.  The fatigue and insecurity were gone. At the same time, the various consumables were replenished to perfection. When the players were waiting to leave, the image of the players was completely different from when they first entered NVIDIA Town.  The horses, which were obviously malnourished at first glance, now looked strong and healthy, and the large amount of food and grass in the trailer covered with tarpaulin in the center of the team made the situation even more difficult.  The oilcloth looked bulging. As the horses stepped out of the checkpoint of Nvidia Town, the players entered the wilderness of late autumn, where they didn't know what they would encounter. Everything was withering in the autumn wind like devils.  The swinging dark dead trees, accompanied by a "whooshing" sound, seemed to scare children, and the earth seemed to have been drained of life, and it was difficult to find anything alive among the dead grass, even rabbits.  Hiding among the animals dug in advance, we waited for the coming spring season to head northward in the cool north wind, which somewhat increased the physical exertion of the players on the road while walking against the wind.  The speed also dropped slightly. Fortunately, the impatient ones in the team were still rational and did not complain about it. They just moved forward in the lifeless season for a few days, except for the occasional business meeting.  Outside the team, the players never saw any new colors. This made Claudia, who was a little impatient of loneliness, finally complain: "Where are the goblins?  What about goblins?  Where have all those damn goblins gone?  I clearly remember that when I followed the caravan running around the territory of Nohan, I would come and go at any time.They can all foresee those little guys with big heads.  " "It's spring and summer, right?  It¡¯s early autumn at most.  Even goblins have to go hunting according to the seasons, unless there is some special reason that prompts them to do so.  "Barrett, who was at the front of the team, covered his mouth slightly and spoke. But even so, the whistling north wind acted as the background sound, which still caused a slight change in Barrett's voice. "I remember us.  The first Bolum Trading Company mission seemed to be a large group of goblins encountered in late autumn.  "Rierli, who stretched out her hands to feel the autumn wind, sneered twice and said: "At that time, we were chased away by a large group of goblins.  It was so hard to escape from their siege!  " "That's because a Goblin King appeared in the North at that time.  Otherwise, there would never have been such a big fuss.  But since the goblin king was killed by the knight, there have been no such large-scale goblin attacks.  "Barrett, who heard this, continued to explain. "And Rielle still said with some perseverance: "But since then, it is an indisputable fact that the small group of wild goblins in the Nohan Kingdom has increased significantly!  " "After the collapse of the original large tribe, it is normal for many goblins to flee to Nohan (relative to the northern city-state) where living conditions are relatively better.  And with their reproduction speed, one goblin in the spring will definitely yield a large harvest in the fall.  "Speaking of this, Barrett also felt a little headache. This kind of bone pain is instinctive. During the previous escort process, Barrett chopped off the goblin's head until he almost vomited. During the boring journey, the players had to  Find something to do for yourself. Only in this way can you relieve your emotions and ensure the stability of your morale. Fortunately, you are now in the territory of Nohan, so you will not be chased by others like you were in Cruze.  He had enough time to prepare his own food. In addition, the grain cart contained more than just feed for the horses. This ample reserve gave Barrett enough room to play if there were no fresh animals in the world.  , players¡¯ journey will even become more like a combination of barbecued crispy sausage and cheese, served with bread heated with residual oil, and optionally paired with one or two combinations, as well as hot and delicious soup.  This is a kind of enjoyment for anyone who lives in the wild. Just walking around without being disturbed, the players are getting closer and closer to Karada, and the towns on the map are being destroyed one after another.  Players were left behind. Although there were many small towns on both sides of this trade road, players often returned to the road the next day after replenishing supplies. Even though the threat seemed to be gone.  , but the players still seemed to have something chasing behind them, and they didn't want to slack off anymore. But just after passing through a small town, they could see the fortress guarding Calada.  The situation changed again. Looking at the long dragon in front of him, Barrett couldn't help but frowned.
