Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The harsh working environment makes everyone nervous, and the poor vision reduces the sense of security of intelligent creatures to an extremely low level.  Although for the attackers, tracking the target in such horrible weather is also a pain in the ass.  But compared to the difficult caravan, those guys still have some initiative.  It is precisely because of this that the caravan will inevitably have some extreme reactions when faced with the people who suddenly appear in front of them.  As the alarm bell rang, the men who were guarding the carriage stopped what they were doing.  They hurried to arm themselves, but one after another they fell down on the slippery ice.  Only a few guys managed to get to the caravan specially designed to transport weapons. The remaining guys who managed to stand up holding on to the edge of the car could only pull out the short weapons they carried from their waists to make up for it.  At this time, the leader of the caravan also emerged from the caravan in the middle with his cronies.  He frowned and looked at the chaotic scene in the caravan, then covered his mouth and gave a few instructions to the cronies around him.  But unlike those chaotic caravan guys, although the original caravan guards gave up traveling outside, they still retained a lot of their combat abilities.  When the alarm bell rang, they immediately turned around with difficulty, and then relied on their numerical advantage to surround the players.  Looking at the caravan guards in front of him who were struggling to perform their duties in the wind and snow, Barrett felt a little sad for some reason.  He subconsciously looked back at the noodles and anvils. If these people in front of him were exploited workers, then in reality, the two people behind him wanted to be exploited but couldn't!  After discovering that the visitors showed no hostile behavior, the caravan guards took no further action. Of course, more importantly, they discovered that the feet of the visitors' mounts were glowing with blue light.  At the same time, the horse's hooves did not sink into the snow, but seemed to be suspended on the surface of the snow.  Having traveled around for so long, these caravan guards knew that there must be a spell caster among the people in front of them, even if they couldn't tell what kind of spell it was.  Even if they are not as afraid of spellcasters as the poor people beside them, they still understand that a team with a mage is not easy to provoke.  So when the players quietly watched the escort actions, but there was no hostile action themselves.  Naturally, the other party didn't dare to do anything outrageous. He used magic to rush on the snowy day. He didn't look like an ordinary person.  If they hit the iron plate, it would only be the guards themselves who would suffer.  While the two sides were staring at each other like this, a close confidant next to the leader finally stepped on the footprints along the way and came to the encirclement through snow.  It's not that he doesn't want to ride a horse, but it takes a lot of time to get on the horse and control the mount in this terrible weather.  At the same time, the encirclement of the guards was not far away. Even if they were stepping on ankle-deep snow, they could still walk faster.  The members of these caravans are all about practicality and do not pay as much attention to dignity as the nobles.  After getting into the encirclement, the man holding a long sword looked at the players and his party intently.  Then his eyes fell on the chest of Clematis with his cloak flying. Of course, this was not because the guy was a pervert, but because he noticed the holy symbol on Clematis' chest.  When he saw this, the crony of the caravan leader secretly breathed a sigh of relief.  Because he knew that the team in front of him could not come to cause trouble for the caravan.  Although the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce has many tricks behind the scenes, its pastors will not appear in direct robberies related to them.  The behavior of these guys who want to be both **** and erect memorial arches is no longer a secret.  It was precisely because of this that the leader of the team waved his hand to warn the guards not to be too nervous. Then he looked up at the team in front of him and said: "I didn't expect to see a group of people in this damn weather."  A pastor of my Lord. On behalf of the Ke Xili Caravan, I invite the pastor and your teammates to sit down and talk with Team Leader Brost. I believe Team Leader Brost will be happy to see you. ¡±  The Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce has a very wide range of believers among merchants, and groups like caravans are an important concentration of believers.  So at this time, Clematis' identity is far more advantageous than other people's strength.  Therefore, Barrett controlled the mount to make way for Clematis behind him. The latter carefully urged the horse to the front of the team: "I am Bot of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' church.  Pastor. We are currently going to Bolum Territory with a few companions. But looking at it now, it is not an easy task to go south to the sea. As for asking me to see it, there is no need for your caravan to be in trouble now.  Not small. We are also in a hurry, so if we just say goodbye, it will be very difficult for both of us.??In fact, there are benefits to both.  " While the leader representative was communicating with Clematis, the remaining guards were secretly frightened by the superb riding skills that Barrett had just shown. If they could do the same in normal times,  Such a small move, but in this bustling environment of the university, there is no guarantee at all. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then I won¡¯t force you to stay.  I hope you all have a smooth journey.  "Although the man in front of him is not willing to let go of any opportunity to establish friendship with the 'goddess of wealth and business' pastor. But he is even more unwilling to arouse the other party's resentment. " Rielle nodded: "I also wish your business the best.  Good luck to the team.  However, if it is not a product with a very tight time limit, I advise you to find a village to avoid it first.  Such an environment is not only slow, but also has a great impact on the caravan.  If something unexpected happens at that time, the gain will outweigh the loss.  " "Thank you for your kindness.  However, this kind of thing is the responsibility of the tour leader, and it is inconvenient for us to interfere.  Of course, since it is your suggestion, I will go back and talk to the tour leader later.  But it's not up to me to decide whether to adopt it or not.  "The man lowered his figure and said. "Then, see you again when you have the chance.  "After saying this, Clematis raised her riding whip and then rushed out of the dispersed encirclement. Several players following her also left here faster. In the 'Snow Land'  With the help of the boots, they disappeared from the sight of the caravan members in a short period of time. The caravan members were naturally jealous of the players being able to move so quickly in the snow.  But they also understand that some things cannot be forced. Only with their current jobs can they be qualified to talk about the future. On the other hand, although the small misunderstanding did not bring much trouble to the players,  But it also delayed a lot of time. Unfortunately, the flying snow flakes had a great impact on the line of sight. With the detection distance being greatly shortened, the players were unable to detect other possible business travelers in the distance in time.  Of course, there are no spells that can solve the current problem, but those spells either last too short, or are of a type that players cannot master, so the current trouble will still plague players in the snow for a long time.  . But the "Snow Boots" spell is really effective in the current environment. When I was with the "Silver Seal" team, I couldn't fully exert the effect of this spell because I was walking through the mountains and forests.  Now in the plains, players found that after adding this spell to their mounts, they were slightly faster than usual even when facing a headwind. In other words, in this windy and snowy environment, players were actually faster than before.  It's a pity that in this snowy environment, players can only determine the general direction, so detours are inevitable.  It depends on the mood of the two goddesses of fate. It seems that because of the wind and snow, it got dark much earlier than usual, and the players hid in the "Warm Home" and enjoyed the warmth before the horses completely lost sight.  The stove has the help of "Snow Boots", and the players' hooves will not leave any obvious traces on the snow. Therefore, in the blink of an eye, the players will not be able to find any clues.  Don't worry that someone will follow the footsteps and discover the flaws of this 'sweet home'. Even the horses outside the house are also protected by the illusion of this cabin, and the owner does not need to worry about it being a strange object.  This was something that we had specially considered when making it. Otherwise, the daily effect of the 'Mage's Secret Hall' would never have reached such a high price of 20,000 gold coins. "Fortunately, we had prepared coal this time, otherwise we would have been afraid today.  You have to eat dry food.  "Looking at Barrett who was constantly stirring the soup, Noodles shook his little feet and said with some fear. After hearing this, Rielle immediately grabbed the halfling wanderer's pigtails and said, "Then  Who said there was no need to carry so much fuel?  He also said that you can just look for it in the wild.  If I had listened to you then, we would really have to eat dry food in the snow now.  " "Don't just talk about me!  Didn't you guys also object to it at the beginning?  Who knew it would suddenly snow so heavily.  "After hearing this, Noodles stopped drying immediately, "Besides, the horse's fodder alone already occupies so much space, and if you carry fuel, the horse might be crushed.  " "That's why I chose these clean coals!  This thing is much more durable than wood at the same weight.  Although the price is a bit expensive, it is definitely worth the money.  "Barrett put down the spoon in his hand and turned around and said, "And even if there is no snow, if you want to find a suitable place on the plainBurning things may not be as easy as you think!  But the busier the trade route, the more difficult it is.  Being prepared in advance can ensure that nothing goes wrong.  " "That's right!  Trouble that can be solved with money is not magic.  But this damn weather can't be solved with money.  I really don¡¯t know when we will reach Bolum Territory!  "As he spoke, Clematis couldn't help but complain. You know, even with the help of magic, trekking in the snow is not a comfortable thing. "Most of what the ancients called appreciating snow and plum blossoms was  A group of idle literati and sluts were engaged in activities in the yard. If they were allowed to ride horses for several hours in the snow, they would never dare to mention the snow scene again. After tasting it with a spoon, Barre  He added a pinch of pepper to the pot and then turned around again: "If you're lucky, you'll be able to reach Bolum Territory in about 20 days!  If you're not lucky, then there's no guarantee.  If you stray too far, you will inevitably end up on a wrong path.  " "It shouldn't be too biased.  "The halfling wanderer was gesturing on the map on the table at this time, "Based on today's itinerary, we should be in this area.  Although it seems to be a little too far south, as long as we go a little farther north tomorrow, we should still be able to maintain the route.  " Barrett closed the lid of the pot and hung the big spoon on the fireplace. Then he came to the noodle table and stretched out his hand: "If you consider the subtle influence of the north wind, I think we may be worse than you expected.  It's better to be closer to the south.  Maybe this is where we are now.  " "Is it affected by the wind?  When there is no reference, it is very possible to head south unknowingly.  "Rierli nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "Then tomorrow, let's move as far northwest as possible!  Hopefully a suitable signpost can be found.  " "This weather is so bad, even the rivers are covered with snow.  Unless we happen to encounter a village or town, it is really difficult to accurately determine our specific location?  "Although she has the field of travel, Clematis is really not good at it at all. Faced with the current situation, she can only place her hope on reliable teammates. She feels that the priest's words may affect morale.  Barrett tapped the table a few times with his fingers: "I think you don't have to worry about this.  During our trip this time, we brought plenty of supplies.  And its own strength is enough to cope with most emergencies.  If that doesn't work, let's just go on one of these snow adventures.  Since you want to experience a new life, you can't just limit yourself to good food.  Occasionally experiencing the hardships and sufferings of life actually has its own flavor.  " "You can always find a reason.  "After hearing this, Rielle immediately gave Barrett two hygiene balls.
