Henry looked at the chaotic caravan and sighed mentally, although he had long thought that these guys would not have any discipline, but it was really unexpected that the chaos would be like this. It seems that he has to find a way to obtain a certain amount of control power, otherwise if something happens, I am afraid that these people will immediately scatter and flee.

Just as he was contemplating how to seize power, Marlene walked up to the orc warrior with a shaking chest. She poked the muscles in Vaughn's arm with her fingers and asked, "Can you tell me your name, strong warrior?" ”

Vaughn scratched his head in embarrassment, apparently never in this situation. He turned his head and looked at his companions for help, hoping that someone would come and relieve him. Henry carefully observed Marlene's expression and movements, and thought to himself, this woman looks soft and weak, but the taste is really strong enough. You must know that all orcs have an indescribable smell on them, and some of their parts are much larger than humans. Although Vaughn looks tall and mighty now, he is still quite ugly in terms of human aesthetics.

"This orc warrior is Vaughn, and he is my bodyguard. He'd never seen a lady so beautiful to you before, so it's normal to be a little overwhelmed. With that, Henry turned his head and winked at Vaughn.

Although Vaughn didn't know what his new plans were after seeing it, he still cooperated and saluted the woman. "Hello Ms. Marlene, sorry for the distraction. I'm not a big fan of dealing with strangers, and you know most people aren't friendly to us half-humans. ”

Marlene nodded with a smile. "It's okay, we can get to know each other along the way, and then we'll be strangers again." With that, he put his handkerchief in Vaughan's hand, turned and got into a carriage. The mercenaries passing behind whistled one after another, and then looked at the orc warrior with envy.

Vaughn, who was a little sluggish, turned his head and asked his companion behind him, "Why did they whistle at me, didn't they just give me a handkerchief?" Amy blushed and laughed. She walked over and whispered a few words in the orc's ear.

"You're saying this woman invited me to spend the night in her carriage tonight!" Vaughn had an incredulous look on his face.

Amy hurriedly covered Vaughn's mouth. "Be quiet, although the whole team knows about it now, but it's better not to say some things."

Bamberk took the opportunity to escape from Amy's hands and fell onto Ares's back. "Hahahaha, I could see early on that there was something wrong with that woman's eyes. Man, blessed are you tonight, do you need me to stand in the carriage and sing you a song? When they were in the Docklands Tavern, the sailors loved it. ”

Henry really couldn't stand this guy's mouthful of gibberish, and saw the opportunity to knock it out with a zero-level magic "stun technique". Amy quickly rushed over and tied her mouth with a rope. The parrot struggled for a long time and could only make a whining sound, and there was no way to make trouble for the time being.

"Vaughn, now we need to gain a certain amount of control in this caravan, otherwise it will be easy to cause chaos if something happens. You're going to sacrifice tonight, and the businesswoman named Marlene is pretty anyway. With that, Henry patted the orc warrior on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

"Listen to you. I don't have anything to lose anyway. Vaughn shrugged his shoulders indifferently. Henry smiled and glanced at the carriage in the distance, if only the orc warriors had met the woman's needs tonight. At that time, he will be able to intervene in some of the affairs of the caravan through Guò Vaughn. Soon the crowd set off to catch up with the convoy in front. Marlene also waved to Vaughn through the window.

More than a hundred and fifty people protected the cargo of the cart and marched northeast along the dirt road, undisciplined mercenaries laughing and laughing along the way, and occasionally someone shot a few small animals with bows and arrows to prepare a meal for the evening. The whole team was moving at an unhurried pace, and it was clear that most of them had some experience of adventure. At least not a group of rookies.

Henry carefully observed his surroundings as he walked, and had been feeling a sense of foreboding since leaving Atta's patrol range. He felt that there was something strange about the bandits' attack, that the giant tribes of the Eternal Wilderness had all been in the first snow and food was beginning to run low. will send out men to plunder the passing caravans.

According to the location described by the patrol leader, there must have been a fierce battle at that time. What he couldn't figure out the most was where the corpses had gone after the battle, and could it be that there were still lichs or other powerful undead creatures moving nearby?

While Henry was pondering the possibilities, a mercenary who seemed to be of no lower status approached. With a lewd smile on his face, he winked at the orc warrior. "Hey! Man, you're a lucky guy, you know how many people are waiting in line for Madame Marlene's call, but you didn't expect to be the first to be taken. When you get to Elward, you'll have to treat you, or we won't let you go. ”

The orc glanced at the familiar creature with contempt, and left him behind without taking a step. The mercenary scratched his head in embarrassment and asked Henry, "Is this companion of yours usually like this?" I'm just joking, so I don't even say a word. ”

"Don't mind, he doesn't really like to deal with strangers. My name is Henry, I don't know what you call it? With that, Henry walked over and shook the mercenary's hand.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, and my friends call me "Quickmouth" Balk. But let's be honest, that orc friend was really cool, and he's going to be in high society right away. ”

Henry pretended to be curious and asked, "Why do you say that, does this lady Marlene think she is a nobleman?" ”

Balk looked enviously at the back of the orc warrior. "This lady's deceased husband was once a member of the Council of Elders. All his fortunes and connections had been inherited and were now in the hands of this Lady Marlene. It can be said that as long as you can please her, she is likely to become a significant figure. ”

When Henry learns of the woman's identity, he immediately begins to suspect her purpose. "Since she is not short of money, why should she find someone to lead the caravan and take this path in such a dangerous time."

"Quick Mouth," Balk smiled, with a playful smile on his face. "Who knows, maybe she's getting a little with this friend of yours. After all, her husband has been dead for so many years, and some physical needs are nothing. ”

Henry shook his head, he didn't think that a woman in this position would risk it for a half-orc. There must be something wrong here, but he hasn't thought of it yet. "Thank you very much for the news, and if you find anything out of the ordinary, remember to come to me." With that, he pulled out a few gold coins and put them in Balk's hand.

The latter stole a glance at the man walking in front of him, and carefully put the money in his pocket. "No problem, I know the people here very well, and I will get the news as soon as there is any news." With that, he ran towards the front of the group, and soon became one with the mercenaries and the guys.

After Balk left, Amy came up and asked, "Master, do you need me to use a spell to monitor the carriage in front of you, this lady Marlene is indeed acting a little strangely." ”

Henry shook his head and stopped Amy, who was about to cast a spell. "Don't act rashly, let's observe first. Vaughn is going to walk into her carriage tonight, anyway, and I'll cast a mage's eye to go in with me. ”

After walking another way, the sky began to darken, and Marlene instructed the steward through the window of the carriage to stop the caravan and set up camp. The coachman parked the carriage outside the camp and formed a simple protective ring, and the mercenaries cleared the ground and began to make a fire for cooking. Soon a large number of pots were set up, and all kinds of cured meats, mushrooms and dried vegetables were thrown in and stewed haphazardly. People sat around the campfire in groups of three or five, making boring jokes while waiting for the meal to begin.

The temperature of the night dropped quickly, and Henry said to the orc warrior while eating dinner, "When you enter the carriage in a moment, I will put a mage's eye on you." Something is wrong with this woman's behavior, so it's best to be careful. Remember not to eat anything she gives you, especially alcoholic beverages. ”

Vaughn asked a little puzzled: "Since you know that she has a problem, it would be good to just arrest and torture her, why do you want me to test it." ”

Henry sighed and thought to himself, these warriors' ideas were really simple and crude. If you really do this, even if you find a problem, it will offend the upper echelons of the entire Silver Moon Alliance at that time. He didn't want to do such a thankless thing.

"You think too simply, we can't kidnap a lady for no reason, especially since she has a lot of power behind her. And look at the people in this camp, do you want to kill them all? ”

The orc warrior scratched his head, he also felt that his idea was a little too naïve. "Okay, let's go tonight. But you have to say it in advance, if you find out what kind of monster she is, don't blame me when the time comes. ”

"It's okay, I'll use the Mage's Eye to record everything. When the time comes, and with the people in the camp to testify for us, even the Council of Elders in Aylward City will not be able to accuse us. After saying that, Henry put the psychic barrier talisman around his neck into Vaughn's hand. Remember to bring this amulet with you before you go in, it will protect you from the effects of mind-control spells. ”

"With this, I feel much more at ease." Saying that, the orc warrior hung the amulet around his neck, and soon an invisible position protected him. (To be continued......)
