Chapter 192 The First Day of Journey
Li Si was a little helpless.
Yes, Li Si feels quite regretful now.
If he were asked to make another choice, he would definitely not choose to go with the Fes Chamber of Commerce.
When Mora was helping him make arrangements, Li Si thought it would be enough to simply follow a caravan and be a transparent person.
Can it only be said that the Fes Chamber of Commerce really attaches too much importance to the newly promoted Marquis Kane?
If nothing else, the luxurious two-horse carriage Li Si is riding in is quite outrageous.
After all, a caravan traveling far away is not an ordinary trip. It is not suitable for ordinary noble carriages. It is more likely to travel within the city.
Roofless trucks are more commonly used for long-distance travel, which are mainly durable and lightweight.
But the carriage that Li Si is using now was specially made by Fes Chamber of Commerce at a large cost to hire skilled craftsmen. On the premise of ensuring comfort and sturdiness, it was even enchanted with [Light Spirit] advanced magic patterns, allowing the carriage to carry a heavy load. It also reduces bumps and makes the ride more comfortable.
Not to mention the layout inside. Different from the general aristocratic carriage that has two sofa chairs facing each other, this carriage considers the comfort of travel and merges them into a soft sofa bed, with a small table and a chair next to it. The chair simply makes the best use of space.
“What an evil hedonism!”
Li Si lay on the soft sofa bed and condemned with some dissatisfaction.
“But this bed is quite comfortable.”
Just now the caravan steward and the guard captain came to see him, and he simply sent them away. .
Li Si knew very well that these two people did not hope that they could contribute anything. Their best hope was to stay calm and avoid any danger.
Li Si is also happy to leave professional matters to professionals, and he is not a pushy person.
After a while, Li Si felt the carriage beneath him shake slightly, and the caravan officially set off.
When he opened the curtain, he saw that the carriage he was riding in should be in the center of the convoy, which was also the safest place.
Shaking his head, Li Si lowered the curtain.
Since this is already the case, Li Si doesn't have to change to an ordinary carriage.
As long as he can reach the north normally, no matter how good the situation is now, the sound insulation effect of the carriage is also good. Li Si can study arcana in the carriage, which can be regarded as making full use of time.
The entire caravan is slowly moving towards the north.
The guards of the Fes caravan mainly follow the caravan and are responsible for maintaining and sorting out the order of the caravan's operations.
The accompanying mercenaries are mainly responsible for exploring the road ahead, detecting dangers and finishing the caravan.
The main commission the White Wolf Mercenary Group accepts is the escort mission of caravans, and they are naturally experts in it.
Magath arranged for all the mercenaries in the team to go out to explore, leaving only one person to drive the carriage and follow the team.
As for Fink, Magath keeps him with him so that he can teach him at any time.
Although this kid Funk is a bit noisy, his talent is indeed good and he is also quite outstanding among the White Wolf mercenary group. Therefore, the leader asked Magath to lead the area and impart more experience.
Since Magath agreed, he will take it to heart.
At this time, I just took him with me to familiarize him with the precautions of the caravan escort mission.
Fink and Magath, who have gone on several missions with the team, are also very familiar with them. They are both soldiers, and their current position is not far from the front of the caravan.
They are also particular about this position, so that they can promptly support the hunters and thieves who are exploring the road ahead.
The pace of the two of them was not too fast, but rather relaxed.
After all, the caravan is full of carriages loaded with goods, so the speed cannot be fast. Fink looked around and asked Magath:
"Uncle, do you think the person on the carriage is a noble?"
Magath didn't care about Fink's distraction. After all, the caravan was in the Philippines at this time. In the hinterland of the Kingdom of Sri Lanka, near the capital city of Bright Light, it is basically impossible to encounter danger. Being tense all the time is a waste of energy.
"It should be. If you look carefully, you can find that there is a bloody sword badge on the carriage."
"Huh?"
Magath glanced at Fink helplessly and added:
“That is the special logo of the Fes Chamber of Commerce, but not everyone can use it.”
“Even only big ones can use it. Only nobles and Fes Chamber of Commerce will arrange carriages with this kind of badge."
"Is that so?"
Fink touched his head, suddenly enlightened.
Magath estimated that he didn’t understand much, so he could only patiently warn:
“Who knows which noble noble followed the caravan this time, and I didn’t see that noble guard, but it’s quite strange. . ”
“But even so, you have to be careful, you know, Fink!”
“I know, I’ll stay away from that carriage.”< br>
Magath was a little helpless, this kid would have to fall hard sooner or later.
The departure time today was relatively late, and we didn't stop much in the middle. It wasn't until it was getting dark that we settled down at the camp that the mercenaries had found in advance.
Traveling outside is quite hard, even when you have just left Bright Light City.
The caravan guards and guys quickly lit a fire, boiled hot water, and stewed tonight's food.
The daily schedule of the caravan is like this. Except for special circumstances, generally speaking, it only stops in the morning and evening to light a fire to cook and eat hot food. If you are hungry during the day, you can use dry food to top it. Although you will stop from time to time to let the animals rest for a while to recover their strength, it is not enough to make a fire.
Dang Dang!
There was a knock on the door, and Li Si opened his eyes and woke up from his arcane research.
Opening the door, he saw Luo Kui, the leader of the caravan.
"Master Li Si, we plan to rest here tonight. Do you think there is anything else we need?"
"No, thank you for your hard work."
Li Si nodded, and then Added:
"You don't have to ask me about everything. I don't care about any of this. If anything happens, I'll let Anders look for you."
Anders is the coachman of Lis's current carriage, and it's Faith. It was specially arranged by the Chamber of Commerce and the horse-drawn carriage.
"Okay, Mr. Li Si, you can give me direct instructions if you have anything to do."
Luo Kui nodded. Naturally, he was told by the senior management before departure to take good care of this man.
Otherwise, the first day of departure would be the busiest time of the entire trip. He would have to sort out many things, and he would not have much free time to say hello.
But it seemed that the Marquis was not that difficult to get along with. Now that he had said that, Luo Kui was ready to go about other things.
Li Si stretched, his bones creaking.
Getting off the carriage, Li Si was looking around boredly at the merchants and guards packing up the camp, when he happened to see Fink and Magath returning to the camp.
It's still too late. I'll hurry up after I have rest tomorrow.
