Chapter 17 Caravan Ride
There are lush woods in the lush countryside and grasslands.
Through the gaps between the branches, you can even see small villages in the distance, and individual tall windmills, slowly turning in the sun.
The gentle breeze blew away some of the muggy heat.
A small caravan was moving along a path in the countryside.
A dozen tall horses of various colors were divided into three groups pulling three carriages, and there were a dozen leather-armored guards around to protect them along the way.
The three carriages are all of the same specifications, with small front wheels and large rear wheels.
The wrapped goods were placed on the wooden boards carried in the front and rear of the carriage, including on the top of the box, and were firmly fixed with oilcloth and mesh ropes.
The outer skin of the carriage is painted with a silver dragon head pattern, which is the logo of the "Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce".
The leader of the caravan at the front was a middle-aged bald man sitting on horseback, and walking alongside him was a young man on horseback.
The young man had a yellow mushroom head and looked very funny.
At this time, the young man turned back and glanced at the carriage at the end, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Jit, what's wrong with you?"
The bald man asked softly when he saw this.
"Ah...Mr. Walsh, it's nothing. I just feel a little strange why the nuns of the Red Apple Church were attacked by wild beasts in this wilderness."
"Perhaps something unfortunate happened on the way to the apple orchard...
I heard that the Red Apple Church has an apple orchard outside the town, and the fruits picked are distributed to the poor in the town. ”
Bald Walsh shook his head sadly.
"Oh, poor nun...she's so young."
He then put his fingers together at the center of his eyebrows, then raised his hand toward the sky and made a backhand fist.
"May the brightness bless her."
This is the prayer gesture of the Cult of the Stars.
Assistant Kit on the side looked at it and couldn't help but secretly cursed.
How could the gods of the stars bless the nuns of another church? Could it be that the Radiant Queen and Lady Rose are very familiar with them?
But he would not dare to say such blasphemous words.
Kit stared at the last carriage.
He always felt that the two people who asked the caravan for help on the way were suspicious, but since Mr. Walsh agreed to let them hitch a ride on the carriage, he couldn't say anything else.
The curtain of the carriage in sight was opened.
A young man with black hair poked his head out and gave him an innocent and bright smile.
Kit was stunned for a moment, responded with an awkward smile, and then turned around and stopped looking at him.
Chen Lun showed a playful look in his eyes, leaning against the window and playing with the shell necklace on his chest.
"If it weren't for it, there would be no way to hitchhike..."
After escaping from prison, he couldn't figure out his location.
People in the wilderness don’t know how far away they are from the nearest town.
Instead of running around like a headless fly, it's better to find someone to lead the way.
Fortunately, he met this caravan, and he used [Siren's Song] to "persuade" the caravan manager and hitch a ride.
Although the carriage with wooden wheels and iron sheets was bumpy, at least it was better than walking on two legs.
Even though Chen Lun is already a transcendent, he is not good at endurance. He still has a weak Floy who needs to be taken care of.
Not only did this save energy, it also gave him time and space to think briefly.
Looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, Chen Lun's slightly impetuous heart slowly calmed down.
"Floyd has no clue about the third ring mission at the moment. The first goal is to find a place to rest and rest.
Let’s go to the town first, Floy and I are too eye-catching now..."
An injured nun and a young man in ragged clothes, there is something wrong no matter how you look at it.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Lun took out the trophies obtained from killing the priest.
A small red ghost face badge.
[D-level monster surge badge]
Item description: A badge containing the power of flesh and blood. After wearing it, you will gain a surge of strength and vitality.
The ghost face above seems to be active and smiles evilly when you are not looking at it deliberately.
It seems to be left behind by a church priest and contains mysterious substances and supernatural properties that were released after his death.
Eat, eat more, you are a hungry butcher, you are the embodiment of power...
Item effect: After wearing, strength +2, endurance +2.
Item cost: Become hungry more easily and eat more.
Chen Lun casually pinned it on his chest, adding 4 points of [Tricky Item] attributes. The side effects were not big, so it was pretty good.
"Let's use it for the time being. When the players come, we will pay a higher price... and then use it to help them.
I'm so kind! ”
So righteous!
Chen Lun wiped away his tears of emotion.
Although this is just the lowest level [trick], since the original version said it was an artifact, then it is an artifact.
Who calls this thing scarce?
Chen Lun stretched out his hand to touch the breeze outside the window and narrowed his eyes.
Before the time travel, the handful of great gods at the top of the pyramid were beyond his reach.
He doesn't even make it into the first tier, but that doesn't hinder his influence in the minds of players.
Measure the world alone and embark on a lonely journey.
Discover countless side quests hidden in this huge world and the stories behind them.
Feel the customs and customs that are completely different from reality, record them, and post them to the in-game forum for players to talk about.
Players affectionately call Chen Lun the "Secret Reptile".
No matter where he climbed, he wrote, and there seemed to be no little secret that he didn't know.
Of course, life has to be balanced.
Chen Lun often packs some heavy side mission plots and curious stories into volumes.
Combined with the screenshots of scenery he collected during his travels, they sold like crazy.
Of course, if he is an old customer, he will also take out some screenshots of the stunning scenery he has collected...
What a surprise, all the famous female characters have been visited by him.
The serious kind.
How can the screenshots taken by players be called candid photos?
I just wanted to see if they were wearing models!
Chen Lun turned to look at Floy.
Her eyes were simply bandaged with a linen strip, and her body was sleeping against a pile of leather and wool fabrics.
Even though the carriage jolted greatly, Floy showed no sign of waking up.
The nun's hat on her head has been taken off, revealing long pale golden hair, looking like an exquisite doll.
"Just take it one step at a time, I still have many choices."
Chen Lun murmured secretly.
"Not only to change her fate... but also to hide the third link of the mission.
The rewards are too generous. If I can’t get them, I won’t be able to become stronger. If I can’t become stronger, I won’t be able to help players. In this case, I will feel so guilty that I will cry. ”
At this time, Chen Lun suddenly noticed that the motorcade slowly stopped.
Noisy voices gradually came from outside.
"Stop! Stop!"
"Who is the person in charge of your caravan?"
At this time, shouts and footsteps came from outside the carriage.
Chen Lun did not look around curiously, but silently lowered the curtain and only observed in the dark through the gap.
He didn't notice for a moment that the caravan had arrived at the checkpoint on the bridge leading to the town.
The caravan steward, Walsh, got off his horse and met a bearded officer in chainmail.
"I am."
Walsh took out his identification and Chamber of Commerce permit and handed them to the bearded officer.
"I am one of the stewards of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce. You can call me Walsh... What happened in Emerald Town?"
Walsh noticed that a far larger than usual number of guards had gathered in front of the checkpoint, and this anomaly caught his attention.
The bearded man took it and glanced at it casually before handing it back to Walsh.
"Nothing, it's just that Brother Stulton of the Red Apple Church said that there is a vicious murderer wandering nearby.
We have to search your Chamber of Commerce's carriage. ”
"My lord, this is against the rules."
Walsh said dissatisfied.
The bearded officer shrugged and turned sideways to make way for him.
"Sorry, I believe your caravan is fine, but this is what the Red Apple Church means...
According to the Sun Code, they have the right to do so. ”
Following the words of the bearded officer, a fat man in a dark red robe led the church guard behind him to the front of the caravan.
A tall, heavily armored guard also led two large dogs covered in red cloth.
The purpose of covering up the Rot Hound is probably to prevent ordinary people from causing panic when they see it.
Although the Red Apple Church is not afraid, Brother Stulton does not want to cause unnecessary trouble.
"Get out of the way!"
Several Red Apple Church guards in fur coats and brimmed hats shouted at them with swords, and the caravan guards backed away.
Watching these church guards inspecting their three carriage carriages and goods, assistant Kit felt not only not angry, but also inexplicably looking forward to it.
He was looking forward to the scene where the guards would pull the kid out of the carriage.
"Perhaps a country bumpkin from the fields kidnapped the church nun, even blinded her, and then desecrated her..."
Kit was thinking wildly, feeling faintly excited.
As for the vicious murderer mentioned by the Red Apple Church, Kit didn't think about it that way.
No matter how you look at it, that kid doesn't look like him.
Soon, a church guard came to the last carriage.
Under Kit's expectant gaze, the guard raised his dagger and opened the curtain.
Lying in the carriage were a nun from her own church and a young man wearing tattered linen clothes who looked like a beggar.
The young man was looking at him with a polite smile.
"Hello."(End of Chapter)
