The Truth of Magic

Chapter 73 The Enemy in the Forest

As Caesar's subordinate Lak, he also participated in the delivery of the caravan.

As the leader of several players including Zhao Xu, he brought them to meet Luo Ya, the person in charge of the smuggling transport, and then ordered them to follow the thirteenth carriage.

The entire caravan consisted of almost twenty carriages, and there were nearly dozens of escorts, basically a few people assigned to each carriage.

The atmosphere of the entire team was very solemn, as if the convoys were not cargo but prisoners.

When the daylight became brighter, Lark came over and told the soldier Maple Leaf, "From now on, the eighth carriage will be in charge of you four earth adventurers. I don't care about the reason, unless the leader Roja gives up, Otherwise, if you lose this truckload of goods, I will confiscate the security deposit, and it is even more unnecessary to follow us to the 'Southern Capital'."

"What about the caster? He doesn't count?" Hearing that Lark only mentioned the four of them, the rogue Rainbow called out.

"He's different from you guys. He just goes along the way and takes care of each other, and also provides magic support when necessary. You guys are paid, can it be the same?" Lark couldn't help but speak more seriously.

At this time, Zhao Xu looked at the four of them carefully. He dared to pick up this kind of dart, and he just caused a landmine, but he didn't know if the four resurrection stones were worth the reward this time.

It's common for their players to hitchhike, they don't even need to ride with the caravan for the most basic board and lodging.

"Also, the so-called log-off time of your players at night must be clearly reported to me, and you must also follow the requirements of Roja's team leader. Once the time is up, we will not see you for more than half a quarter of an hour. Our team will continue to move forward. You guys Figure it out."

Lak repeated this point repeatedly, and Maple Leaf, the captain, agreed again and again.

"And you, Mr. Zhong Xia, although we don't force you to keep watch, but I hope you'd better sleep near the caravan, so as not to find that we have left when you project over again."

Zhao Xu nodded and agreed.

Arthur players can sleep in the game. The risk is that they will be very passive if they are attacked at night, and they have to get up and deal with it before they can put on their armor.

Therefore, many lonely players will directly choose to go offline in the wild after leaving the battle. Basically, during the period before he goes online, it is equivalent to teleporting back to the earth, naturally there is no risk.

It's just that this caravan needs someone to keep watch at night, not to mention that they have to move at any time when they are attacked. If they go offline, they will naturally be very passive. That's why Lark asked Maple Leaf and the others to try their best to set up a tent in Arthur's house to sleep at night.

After Lark returned to the front, Maple Leaf began to assign a night watch arrangement to several of his team members.

After a while, the entire smuggling caravan officially set off.

Hurricane City was destroyed by the aftermath of the legendary spell, and the center of the spell was outside Hurricane City.

After nearly a hundred years of natural evolution, the hilly terrain has been slowly restored here.

Zhao Xu probably compared the map and used his knowledge (geography) skills to assist his judgment. He estimated that the road at night would basically be in this not dense forest.

Compared with normal caravans that can openly pass through the post roads set up by the merchant alliance, this smuggling caravan can only open up a road around the small road by itself.

"Yuyou, why don't you sit here." Captain Feng Ye pointed to a corner of the wagon and said, there was half a buttocks space there, grown men like them would certainly not be able to sit there, but Yoyo was perfectly fine.

"No need, Brother Fengye, my physique is good enough." After walking a few steps, Yoyo said with a little sweat on her forehead.

The carriages of this caravan are basically fully loaded, and the ruts on the wheels are very deep, and the last few people at the bottom have to cover up the traces left by them at intervals.

In this case, it is naturally impossible for Zhao Xu and the others to have a free carriage for them to ride in.

But if Zhao Xu is a level 5 mage and promises to provide protection, then the team leader Roja will definitely be willing.

Zhao Xu's 14 point physique also guaranteed his mental state during this journey.

Basically, the higher the physique, the stronger the endurance.

Zhao Xu on Earth may feel tired after running 1,000 meters, but with his 14 physique, 3,000 meters is easy.

"Yuyou, do you know, when I was training as a mage before, a funny instructor told me that after he was level five, he never tried to touch the ground with his feet in the wild adventure." The poet Antarctic frog teased the girl and said .

"why."

"Hehe, that's it." Just as the poet was about to answer, he suddenly saw Zhao Xu looking around at the surrounding environment, and asked on the spot, "Mr. Zhong Xia, do you know?"

Zhao Xu, who was thinking about the best escape route, answered unconsciously after hearing this: "The first-level spell has a summon mount, and the third-level spell has a phantom horse. If the casting level is high enough, it can almost cover a day's daily journey. .”

"That's right." The poet Antarctic Frog said lightly, without continuing.

Zhao Xu almost wanted to turn around to look at the other person's expression, but he held back.

Zhao Xu muttered to himself, could it be to test whether he is a real spellcaster?

Players are so cautious now?

Summoning a mount is an arcane technique, not a divine technique, and only Zhao Xu was able to release it.

The Phantom Horse's third-level arcane spell, the poet's spell list does have it, but it will have to be level 8 when it can be used, but I don't know if this poet student can survive to level 8.

If Zhao Xu were to cast the "Summon Mount" spell now, with the Iron Stone and the spell delay feat, basically 8 hours would be enough.

But Zhao Xu walked on his feet instead of riding a horse now, because he hadn't learned this spell yet.

Some first-level arcane scrolls that Antino Yasai gave him were still quietly lying in his backpack.

Suddenly, the speed of the entire caravan began to slow down.

The leader of the caravan is Roja, and only a few of their leaders are qualified to ride horses. The speed of the caravan is also controlled by them.

Zhao Xu looked at a forest in front of him that was much denser than before, and turned his head to look at the things on the carriage.

He hurriedly launched his "Learning" check and Knowledge (Nature) check, and asked questions.

This time, Zhao Xu was still lucky. He passed the test and found the answer he wanted directly.

Zhao Xu, who was just looking at the information panel, could only sigh. Fortunately, it was troublesome to be able to reason.

"Roya, did you guys know each other before?" Zhao Xu asked, but he was looking at the wanderer Rainbow.

The other three shook their heads, and the wanderer Rainbow thought for a while and said in a low voice: "The boss who was in charge of this matter is dead. He came from another gang to grab the territory, and he just took over recently."

At this time, the whole team came to a complete stop, and the four of them knew something was wrong no matter how dumb they were.

Zhao Xu could only hope that before Luo Ya did this kind of business, he would know how to find out the situation of each port first.

He didn't want to face the wrath of a group of druids.
