Chapter 15: The Dragon Scale Armor of the Three Sacred Weapons of the Protector
Pandora stopped in front of a grocery store, and a fat woman dressed like a proprietress walked out swearing, kicked Pandora over, and involuntarily picked up a thick stick that had been included in the category of weapons and whipped it vigorously, and everyone next to her watched gloatingly.
There were all kinds of foul words in his ears, and the night led the camel away indifferently.
After traveling about thirty-four miles, the outline of a city finally appeared on the horizon, and the first city in the kingdom of Antioch had finally arrived.
This is the border area, and the neighboring is the famous madman Romans in the countries of the Blood Alliance, and those madmen even dare to attack their own people in order to sacrifice the blood god, let alone themselves, this country that only joined the Blood Alliance more than a hundred years ago.
Due to its geographical location, the Kingdom of Antioch is ethnically and culturally very different from the Western Continents, compared to the blonde and blue-eyed, the Antioch people have a darker complexion, deep eye sockets, and a high nose like an eagle's hook.
The Blood Alliances have always referred to the Antiochs as "Gentiles".
The Antiochs were conservative and xenophobic, and in response to this, Cangye disguised his appearance, discarding his golden wig, revealing his long black hair, which was tied in large braids, wearing a large black hat, a black and blue gown, a shawl with purple stripes, and a plain black cloak to protect against the wind and sand.
This is the traditional Antioch clothing, due to the geographical environment and historical and cultural inheritance, Antioch culture has been infiltrated into the obvious oriental style, the highly developed textile industry can be dyed dozens of different bright colors, the upper class has an almost obsessive craze for silk, the night dress is like a solo adventurer, the dress on the body and the waist of a long and a short two male rise all reveal the richness of this person's value and not easy to mess with.
If it was an Antioch nobleman, they would even embroider various intricate and ornate patterns on their shawls.
Don't look at the clothes so gorgeous, but there is a hidden button on the inside of the underwear, as long as you pull it off, you can take off yourself to only the underwear, this is a unique costume for the lustful and dissolute Antioch nobles, but wearing it on the night can restore the fighting state as quickly as possible.
In order to hide the overly obvious Oriental face, Cangye wears a pale half-masked mask, revealing only a fair and delicate chin.
In this way, it is like a noble samurai who has run away from home and wandered around.
Along the way, Cangye encountered three waves of desert bandits in a row, so after hanging more than twenty fierce heads on the camel's back, no one dared to provoke him.
Facing the awe-inspiring eyes of the guards, the night led the camel slowly into the border city.
After a short rest, Cangye found a large merchant team that was about to go to the royal city of Antioch, and naturally joined the caravan after defeating the two guards beside the merchant with exquisite sword skills.
Merchants and nobles were very welcome to this kind of capable and restrained lone ranger, and a little wooing could get a powerful bodyguard, as anyone with a little family would do.
Not only that, but Nightnight was paid 80 gold coins per day until the caravan arrived in the royal city, and all he had to do was protect the caravan.
It was a spice merchant, and dozens of wagons were loaded with precious spices brought from the Far East, mainly peppercorns, peppercorns, nutmeg, and some ginger and garlic, in addition to some simple extracts of essences and lavender, mainly expensive luxuries sold to noblewomen, and their effect was similar to that of perfume.
Before the party departed, Cangye hung more than twenty pickled bandit heads on the side of the carriage for the purpose of deterrence, while he rode alone on a camel at the rear of the group.
With such a large caravan, the deterrent power of twenty-two bandit heads may not be enough, but in addition to the night, the big merchants also have two well-equipped guards, and the bandits in the desert area are rampant, most of them are dozens of people in a group, limited by resources, at most no more than a thousand people, to attack such a caravan at least about three hundred desert thief cavalry.
For ten days, the caravan passed through three cities without encountering a single stream of bandits.
Perhaps because of the deterrence of the head, there were several bandit groups who forgot about the caravan and left, and the big merchant was very happy, thinking that it was a very wise decision to hire Cangye, without the "patronage" of the robbers, this trip down to at least 50%~80% more profit than the previous one.
Because of this, he also has more and more respect for Cangye, not only serving the same diet as himself at meals, but also precious and rare fruits from the desert area after meals, not only that, but the merchant even gave his two favorite beautiful slave girls to Cangye to enjoy, but the last item was refused.
Seeing that Cangye was treated like this, the guards were naturally jealous, but it was not until Cangye defeated the five elites, including the captain, with only one hand, that this jealousy turned into fanaticism.
The strong are always popular.
Seeing that the time was almost up, after a few temptations, Cangye's vigilance slowly relaxed, and he directly asked the guards who had just established a relationship about his news about the first Protector Hallow.
Nightshade would rather hope that the Artifact would still lie quietly in the location recorded on the map, but the probability of not being found for hundreds of millennia is pitifully low, and the Artifact hidden in the Royal City of Antioch is the most likely to be unearthed.
At the height of the Eastern Kingdom, Antioch's predecessor was the most remote vassal of the empire, and although Cangye did not know how this national protector artifact ended up here, one thing is certain, after the overthrow of the previous dynasty, the tombs of the royal families of the past dynasties were also opened, and all the burial goods were plundered, and the location marked on the map was the tomb of the former dynasty.
"Oh! That's it......"
Hearing such an answer, Cang Ye finally had no luck in his heart.
The armor of steel, made from the scales of the gods of ancient oriental legends, is difficult to compare with even the hardest steel.
Until the night, the "gods" in oriental legends are not the same kind as the gods they know, and in a world with such a low degree of mystery, any powerful creature will be worshiped as a god.
Powerful creatures with scales...... Cangye had an answer in her heart.
Equipment made from powerful creatures as materials, even if the forging process is poor, is of a good level or above.
In the mouthful of the guards, Cangye rarely gained something.
The Iron Armor is a strange-looking armor that is now in the hands of Prince Antioch, and is now in the hands of the Grand Prince of Antioch, and even his most beloved princess cannot touch it.
Legend has it that the eldest prince carried the armor in a box made of precious stones, jade, amber and ivory, and was protected by thirteen tall and sturdy guards, each of whom was a warrior of great might with a hundred enemies.
Only when going out on a campaign or hunting would the eldest prince wear it to show off in front of the nobles and his brothers.
Nightshade asks about its strangeness, but the guards are only hearsay, and no one knows exactly what the armor looks like, but there is a distinct feature.
The armor is painted as bright as blood.
In this way, there is a 90% chance that the night is sure that all that the eldest prince has in his hands is the protector of the country.
Fortunately in the misfortune, as long as there is a clue, Cangye is sure to get the thing in his hands.
During the conversation, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves ahead, and there was a tremor on the ground.
"Enemy attack!"
The captain of the guard let out a tiger roar, and the guards rallied as fast as they could.
Finally, a sand thief couldn't stand the fat sheep swaying in front of him, and was ready to make a move.
Listening to the night, there were chaotic sounds all around, noisy and harsh, it seemed that they belonged to different groups of sand thieves, and it was rare for this group of rabble to know how to join forces.
The number of enemies was at least two hundred or more, and seeing this, Cangye silently drew his scales and scimitar and walked slowly forward.
