This caravan numbered as many as forty or fifty people, and it suddenly poured into Jingtie Town, and the town suddenly became lively. The caravan drove from the main road of the town, and in front of it were a dozen or so fine horsemen, all of whom were knights. The most outstanding is the riding man, wearing a snow-white cape, a black and oily collar, and a vermilion armor like fire inside, plus a dark blue spear hanging from the side of his horse, his expression is extraordinary.

The number of riders behind him also has its own characteristics.

On the left is a big man lying on a horse who doesn't know whether he is asleep or awake, full of alcohol. On such a cold day, he was only wearing a light piece of black iron armor, with a pair of bare arms, and his skin was dark red if he was born or frozen by snow. The man was full of alcohol and carried a thick combat axe behind his back. The axe was pitch black and heavy, crushing him enough to straddle the horse. The knight on the right was much thinner, dressed in black and armor, with fair skin like a woman, with three swords and two swords hanging from the side of the horse, and many weapons.

Although the riders behind were not as brilliant as the three knights in front, they were also full of condensed breath, sharp eyes, and a fierce energy.

Behind the dozen knights were several carriages, and in front of them were three pulling goods, and the goods were all wrapped tightly with tarps, and nothing could be seen. The first two cars were also wrapped in tarps, but they were a cage. From time to time, the low roar of a beast could be heard from the cage, and God knows what kind of beast was inside. One of the cages was constantly gushing out of the frosty gas, coating the cage and the car board with a layer of white frost, and I didn't know what was inside.

Next were a few wagons carrying people, with some field equipment on the back, but they were no different from other caravans.

The caravan came to the town's Purple Mulberry Hotel.

There was a clever boy squatting in front of the hotel lobby, who was bored and looking at the avenue covered by the wind and snow, when he suddenly saw such a team coming towards his hotel, and his heart was overjoyed. This man is also accustomed to seeing scenes, and has seen all caravans. When I saw this caravan, most of them were warriors, especially the three horsemen who were the leaders were not like ordinary warriors, but mostly masters and strong men. Looking at the few goods they escorted, and a few cages, I already had a fixed opinion. In his experience, such caravans were either slave hunters or beast hunters.

However, there are only forty or fifty people in the team, and it is likely that the latter is the majority. After a moment, hearing the roars of the caged beasts, the young man knew that he had guessed correctly, and his face was quite triumphant. At this moment the caravan stopped, and the knight at the head turned over and dismounted, and the young man hurriedly trotted over and led the horse for him. The knight was very satisfied with the young man's cleverness, and casually threw him a gold coin and said, "We are the Ice Moon Mercenary Regiment, and I am the leader of the regiment, Fares. As you can see, we need a day off here, so please open some rooms for us. ”

"It's easy, please come with me." The young man said immediately.

He made a few gestures into the lobby, and naturally someone came out to lead the caravan to the cargo yard behind the hotel. Fares said "Wait a minute", then walked up to the black knight and said, "Ruijie, you arrange some people to keep an eye on our goods." He patted the drunkard on the head again and said, "Lick, when are you going to sleep this guy, get out of here." ”

The drunken man named Lick raised his head and asked half-asleep, "Where is the wine?" ”

"You're going to have to die from alcohol sooner or later." Faress scolded angrily, drew the spear from his horse, and walked into the lobby with the young man of the inn to check in.

The black knight Rigje took off his sword, three swords behind his back, and two swords pinned to his waist, and then ordered the two knights and most of the warriors to follow the innkeepers to the rear freight yard. The last few wagons with people also came down one after another, and these people who came out of the carriages were much weaker than the knights and warriors of the caravan. All of them are dressed in furs, and they can't wait to put a blanket on their bodies again. The few people who smelled of copper were a group of serious businessmen. These businessmen naturally gathered together after dismounting, talking and laughing, but they did not leave their profession. Even the jokes are related to interesting stories in the commercial field.

As they passed a carriage, the groom jumped off and knocked a tall, thin middle-aged man to the ground. The middle-aged businessman fell on the snow with an "ouch", and the snow covered his coat. The man suddenly scolded: "You cheap guy, are you blind!" I bought this robe from the imperial capital, can you afford to pay for it if it gets dirty? ”

When he was still scolding, his eyes darkened. The unusually tall groom said with a fierce look: "Who are you scolding? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu screwed off your head and drank wine! ”

The merchants were stunned by the groom's arrogance, and the door of the carriage opened, and a petite young woman jumped out of the carriage and helped a man wrapped in a dark red robe to his feet. The man got out of the car and glanced at his groom lightly: "Will you die if you don't say a few words?" How can I teach you to come, you have to help someone up when you knock someone down. ”

The groom touched his head, and with a reluctance he pulled his big hand, and lifted the middle-aged merchant like a chicken. The man came back to his senses and just wanted to scold. Unexpectedly, the man in red looked at it, and the man's eyes were not sharp, but he saw that the man was cold. Then I listened to him: "Of course, if the other party is still entangled, it is not too late for you to twist off his head and pour wine." ”

Then, under the arms of the petite woman, the man and woman Shi Shiran walked towards the door of the hotel. The groom made a sinister face at the merchants, then jumped into the carriage and drove it to the freight yard. After they left, it seemed that the air was flowing again, and although there were many people next to the middle-aged businessman just now, no one dared to say a word for him. Now that the people are gone, they are chattering and holding grievances, but the middle-aged businessman didn't say a word, just shook his head with a wry smile.

Faress just finished checking in and walked out of the lobby to see this scene. The pair of men and women came head-on, and the woman and the bird held the man's arm like a human, but there was no ambiguous atmosphere between men and women. The woman kept her head down, as if she was a little afraid of the man next to her. Instead, the man in red nodded generously to Fares, "Good work, Captain Fares." ”

Fareth handed him a key: "Yes, Mr. Ed. After a long journey, you should rest early? ”

"It's still early, I want to sit at the bar." The man named Ed gestured to the bar that doubled next to the hotel lobby.

Faress nodded, and the two passed by. The man in red, Ed, his female companion and the groom meet with their caravan in the Dark Lands, and when they hear that the caravan is heading to Iron Lance Ridge, Ed, who calls himself a merchant, asks to join them and pay the Ice Moon mercenaries a handsome fee. Seeing that there were only three of them, and Ed's appearance was indifferent, and there was a faint majesty of a superior in his movements and tone, it was not like the scout role of a thief group who had inserted the eyes and ears of the caravan, so he agreed.

Although there were occasional frictions with other merchants along the way, they were all trivial. And it's very strange that those businessmen's mouths are very poisonous, but they don't even dare to fart at this man, and sometimes they just scold a few words behind their backs.

People didn't cause trouble for themselves, so Faress didn't have to look too much at the faces of those merchants, not to mention that Ed gave a lot of commissions. But Faress was suspicious that he really needed a guard. At least he knew that the groom who drove the car, and the seemingly weak little woman beside Ed, were no ordinary people. The aura on their bodies made Faress feel threatened, and even Ed himself had a faint sense of oppression, and he was probably a hidden master.

As long as these three people don't drill into those notoriously vicious valleys, the bandits that haunt the trade routes are really no match for them. Faress was puzzled by this, but since the commission was paid, he didn't care about it, and was happy to give a small fortune that fell from the sky.

"Captain!"

At the door of the bar, the drunken man Rick waved his hand and said, "Have a drink?" I've found a good location! ”

The Black Knight Rig also returned from the freight yard and nodded to Fares, signaling that everything was done. Faress looked at the increasingly gloomy sky, and simply called Rig into the warm bar. In this inn-run bar, the merchants and gentlemen who had come out of the carriage were already drinking around two tables, and a few chuckles were heard from time to time. Ed and his female companion occupy a table in the corner, clearly distancing themselves from the others.

Faress walked around the merchants, drank a few glasses of wine, and handed out the keys to their rooms before returning. Lick had already called for a table of wine and food, Faress sat down, and the big man hurriedly poured a glass for Faress and Ruijie, and he himself was not polite, and directly poured the rest into his mouth. Faress and Rig smiled at each other, speechless at Lick's drunken behavior.

"Drink less, I'm afraid I won't have you to drink when I get to Iron Spear Ridge." Rigger kicked the big man under the table.

Lick then sneered, "Isn't this not to Iron Spear Ridge yet?" He looked at Faress and said, "Commander, let's go to Iron Spear Ridge this time, that ice tooth can be sold for a good price, right?" But let me tell you, although Ice Tooth is rare, we don't have to go all the way to Iron Spear Ridge to sell it, right? ”

Ruijie rolled his eyes and cursed in a low voice, "Idiot." ”

Lick slapped the table and said, "Who are you talking about!" ”

Faress frowned, tapped the table, and said, "Shut up, Rick. Change your stinky temper and do what we do, the most important thing is to be high-profile. I don't let you drink, and that's what it's for, but you can't change it after all these years. ”

Lick touched his head, smashed his mouth and said, "I know too, but who called Rui Jie's mouth is too poisonous." ”

Rui Jie sneered: "My mouth is poisonous, it's better than you being stabbed." You don't want to think about it, we Bingyue are doing well in Sardinia City, why did Faress go to the trouble of moving our mercenary group to Iron Spear Ridge this time. ”

"Forget Ruijie, how many years have you been brothers, what are you talking about?" Faress shook his head.
