After a night of rest, the group quickly recovered from the fatigue caused by the rush to drive the night before. The genius had just lightened up, and they packed up their bags and continued their journey.
Because there were no suitable ships to carry so many of them, the original waterway plan had to be changed and turned to the business path of the merchants traveling to and from the Principality of Tousent.
This business road was first built by elves in order to communicate with the outside world. At that time, the caravan of the kingdom of the elves often traveled between Taocente and Medina from this business road. The source of this business is Buckland, and the end is the city of Medina, the capital of Medina.
However, after the destruction of the Elven Kingdom, the Principality of Tausent adopted a more convenient, larger cargo transportation, and faster shipping operation as the principal foreign trade route of the Principality, which made this trade route abandoned for a period of time.
It was not until many years later that the smugglers reactivated this abandoned business road, transporting a large amount of non-taxed black wine to sell in Medina, and over time the business road regained its vitality.
It’s just that because of the years of disrepair, the roads have been bumpy. Not only the vehicles carrying goods to and from the caravans can’t run smoothly on this road, but even the horses on this road should run carefully. Because no one knows whether there is a pothole on the road covered by grass. As long as the horse's leg runs on the pothole, it will inevitably be injured. If it is light, it will only fall, and if it is heavy, it will be broken. possible.
Cassier once walked this road and knew the situation of this road, so he reminded everyone after he entered the business road.
But even reminding was useless. His own horse accidentally stepped into the pothole, broke its leg, and had to kill it. For this reason, Angulan’s horse was handed over to Cassir to ride. Guranze and Milwah ride a horse together.
After that, everyone slowed down and carefully chose the path that the predecessors had traveled, so that there were no more accidents.
Not long after they were on the trade route, they met a caravan. This caravan came from the town of Pasa. This town is at the end of the trade route on the side of Medina. It is a cargo distribution center.
Because the road from the Principality of Taocente to Medina is far away, and the Magdalene Plain passing by in the middle is rampant. If the caravan goes through the whole journey, it will take a lot of risk and may lose its blood at any time.
Therefore, most of the caravans in the Principality of Taocente will choose the town of Pasa as the end point, sell the goods in hand to the caravan of Medina at a relatively low price, and obtain low-priced goods from the caravan of Medina .
Although this will reduce a lot of benefits, it is a lot safer, and because the distance between them is shorter, you can take more trips every year, so that the final benefits will not be reduced too much.
The Medina caravans that purchase goods from Pasa Town will hire wandering knights, mercenaries or bounty hunters as escorts, pass through the Magdalea Plain known as the Bandit Plains, and transport the goods to the city of Medina to obtain Huge rewards.
In this case, every year a lot of wandering knights who become hired guards here will go to the Duchy of Tausent to participate in the knight meeting. After the knight meeting, they will return to the town of Pasha to wait for the caravan to hire.
After encountering the caravan, Geralt suggested that everyone follow the caravan. One is to take care of each other, and the other is not easy to go the wrong way.
Among them, the only person who walked this road was Cassirer, but he followed the big army at the time, and he did not remember how the road went. There are a lot of people on this business road. The branch road to other towns, and even some traps and forks intentionally forged by some bandits, so a person who often walks this road is required as a guide, so Gerlot immediately proposed when the caravan was seen. Suggested.
Everyone also agreed with this suggestion, and incidentally mocked the unreliable Cassier leader, just when Cassir almost took them to the wrong path, or Leo found the caravan The trace of progress is back on the right path, otherwise it may go around the same way.
In the face of a peer request from Geralt and his party, the caravan leader was hesitant. It stands to reason that some fighters joined the caravan and did not need to pay commissions. In case of danger, more people can assist the fight. This is simply a fight. Lanterns are also hard to find, but the question is whether Geralt’s group is credible, or directly whether Geralt and others are deliberately arranged by the bandits.
In more than one time in the past, robbers secretly arranged to respond within the caravan. When the robbery suddenly turned against the water, the caravan's defense collapsed, the goods were robbed, and casualties were caused.
So now not only for every caravan that comes up suddenly and asks for fellowship on the road will doubt its origin and purpose, even the wandering knights, mercenaries and bounty hunters hired in Pasa Town will find them. If you have good credit, you will only find people who don’t have the details, but they don’t dare to recruit too much.
For the caravan's caution, Geralt did not show much disgust, and according to the requirements of the caravan leader, he told them their identity.
When the caravan leader heard Geralt’s name and saw the wolf badge on his chest, his alert look slightly weakened, because the butcher of Bravikan was not very nice, but it spread very widely. There are also rumors in the Nilfgarde Empire, and Geralt is an unseen hunter, but his reputation is pretty good, at least there are no rumors like part-time bandits.
After the full name was reported in Cassirer, after speaking of his family, the caravan leader’s vigilance was reduced a lot. The Epcherak family was also considered a famous family in the Nilfgarde Empire. Vulgarde's royal director, Grufied, was Cassir's father.
However, when Sylvia took off his helmet and introduced himself, the caravans, especially the wandering knights, were all stunned and looked at Sylvia in surprise.
Many of these hired wandering knights participated in the knight meeting last year, and they all left Tausent after the knight meeting was over and the snow had not completely blocked the mountains. They all heard that After passing the name of Sylvia Knight of Light, several of them even saw Sylvia when he was alone.
After that, although the commercial road had been temporarily cut off due to the closure of the mountain, the outside world did not cut off contact with Tao Sent, and communication tools such as homing pigeons were still able to pass on what happened in the Principality of Tao Sent. outside.
There is no doubt that the most striking thing about the principality of the Taoist Center this winter is the appearance and rise of the mysterious foreign female knight, the Knight of Light, in addition to the cold wave that has never been seen to seal the mountain.
Not to mention that the Knight of Light received the baptism of the Knight's Five Virtues, received the weapon blessed by the fairy in the lake, or the establishment of the Knights of Light, or the establishment of the Church of the Fairy in the lake, etc. are miracles. Anything is enough to become a knight’s life, but these things are actually done by one person, and within a month.
So much so that after the news came out, many people thought it was entirely the Taoist people making up myths, but as more and more news came out, all people determined that this was indeed what happened, a legend Appeared in Tao Center.
Outside of Taocent, many people were surprised and curious about this female knight. Many people who had never seen Sylvia’s true face thought that Sylvia was a monster as strong as a man. Otherwise, it seems to them that a normal woman cannot accomplish such a feat.
Although some people who have seen Sylvia's true face refute these rumors, but these people are only a few, after all, they have no effect at all.
However, what pushed Sylvia's reputation to the top was that Sylvia led the newly established Knights of Light and several wandering knights to defeat Belhavin's collar completely, and Bellha's collar was nearly seven. The captured nobles were captured by him, and all the troops of Belhavin led to the defeat of them.
Although there are a lot of wandering knights and many wandering knights in this world, there has never been a wandering knight in the past years that can defeat the regular army of a certain territory on the frontal battlefield, and it is such a large territory as the Belhaven territory.
Undoubtedly, after the news spread, the first thing that appeared was doubt, because in the eyes of most people, what has never happened before is probably fake now, even the wandering knight, a group that desperately needs a glorious record They are also suspicious of this sudden and amazing record.
But with the follow-up news, plus the news published in the Nilfgarde Empire Bulletin, all talents are truly convinced that this record is true, and the Knight of Light has completed a shocking feat.
Since then, the Knight of Light has almost become a spiritual idol in the eyes of all wandering knights. Some people even think that the Knight of Light is the incarnation of the fairy in the lake, the incarnation of the five virtues of the knight, etc. In general, the Knight of Light is in This world also has a lot of influence.
The wandering knights who were hired by this caravan this time can be said to be believers of the Knights of Light. They also plan to complete the mission when the snow in the mountains melts, and Taocent’s business road is reopened. They were ready to go to the Principality of Tausent to apply for the Knights of Light, and no matter how bad they had to look at the Knights of Light.
Almost immediately before Geralt appeared, these wandering knights still mentioned this matter, but they never thought that the idol they wanted to see appeared in front of their eyes, which made them shocked and extremely happy.
One of the older wandering knights quickly stabilized his emotions and stepped up to Sylvia, saluting him extremely respectfully: "Sir, you may not remember, I used to fight alongside you However, that is the glory of my life in my heart. I am very happy to see you again.
Sylvia looked at the wandering knight with a smile, and said, "Brigger of Anglin, in the task of cleaning up a group of road robbers, took the lead and killed two robbers. I did not forget the style of your time. !"
"I didn't expect adults to remember this thing," Hearing Sylvia's words, the wandering knight's face showed incomparably strong joy, as if he had obtained some treasure.
Afterwards, wandering knights came to see them one after another. Among them, the wandering knights who had communicated with Sylvia, she could easily tell their identity and name and the scenes they had communicated with, and those who had not met before After reporting her name, she was also able to tell their past record quickly, so that everyone who talked to him was like Mu Chunfeng, and the idea of seeing him as a leader was faintly formed in her heart.
It is no exaggeration to say that if at this time Sylvia decides to form another knight group, then the knight group will be formed in an instant, and all the wandering knights here will join the knight group with great honor and play for Sylvia.
Because of the emergence of Sylvia, the leader of the caravan also let go of the last point of vigilance, and gladly invited Geralt and others to join the caravan, and even said that all the expenses on the road will be paid by the caravan. The person in the body armor that was hidden in the end was neglected in this way, even if someone noticed that he would be regarded as a guard of Sylvia and the like.
However, this misunderstanding was quickly contacted, because when the caravan prepared a tent for Sylvia, Sylvia said that he would live with Leo in a tent. At this time, all the people suddenly thought of Hill in the rumors. Via has a partner, and the relationship of this partner is still very close~EbookFREE.me~ At this time, all the people began to re-examine the special existence of Leo, who even wears a set of gorgeous armor, which is still easily overlooked.
They will not despise Leo because of his obscurity. Although the people in the caravan cannot compare with the scholars, they have developed some eyesight today. They can see that Sylvia and Leo get along. Most of the decisions made are based on Leo.
A man who can be so enamoured by such a legendary woman as Sylvia is definitely not an ordinary person, not to mention Leo wearing that armor of the Abyss Walker has a strong power of his own, standing there, not paying attention to him Fortunately, once he noticed him, he would feel as if he was crushed by the mountain, making people feel a breathless illusion, and subconsciously lowered his head and dared not look directly at it.
The movements caused by Leo’s identity did not last long, and everyone refocused on Sylvia, and tentatively asked why Sylvia appeared here?
And Sylvia replied with a smile: "My mission in Tausent is over. The status and power there are useless to me. I decided to start a new journey!"
