The caravan started preparing for departure very early.
So when Vivienne woke up and got up, Sauron had already packed up all his things, holding a warm clay pot in his hand.
"elder brother."
Vivian walked over timidly holding the corner of her clothes with her small hands, and said in a low voice, "I was wrong."
"I will never drink secretly again in the future."
This daring little girl dared to drink secretly at such a young age. Sauron originally planned to reprimand her with a straight face, but when he saw the pitiful appearance of the little girl, he couldn't help but feel a little bit unbearable, and said with a dark face, "Don't make an example!"
"Find it again."
"I'll just smack your ass with a paddle."
The little girl breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, stuck out her tongue mischievously while Sauron was not paying attention, and then obediently followed him downstairs. She was also curious yesterday, she didn't know why so many people like to drink alcohol, she just tried it with the attitude of giving it a try, but she didn't expect that she would get dizzy after just a few sips and get drunk all of a sudden.
Fortunately, my brother didn't scold her.
Vivian reached out and touched her little butt. She was slapped in a daze yesterday, and it still hurts a little this morning.
It looks like my brother is really angry!
after.
I absolutely can't drink anymore.
The little girl warned herself inwardly, and then followed Sauron to the hall.
Sauron does not drink.
Sometimes it can even be said to be teetotal.
Alcohol is the most deadly poison for thieves. It will reduce the thieves' perception, will, and flexibility, making them lose their vigilance, and at the same time affect the sobriety of the brain. Maybe some fighters can slightly improve their combat effectiveness after drinking, but once the thieves drink alcohol, their original advantages will be completely lost. Sauron once saw a half-legendary colleague who was hacked to pieces all over the floor by two rookies with a professional level of six. The reason was that this guy got himself drunk.
All occupations that play tricks must have a clear mind at all times!
If he needed to relax and relieve his stress, Sauron would use the halfling's tobacco. There was a time when he carried a fragrant wood pipe with him.
The distillation method invented by wizards has been popularized for a long time.
Alchemy's potion purification technology has long been used in alcohol, and some spirits can't even be carried by legendary professionals.
…
Sauron opened the clay pot.
After simmering for a whole night, the aroma inside was so strong when it was opened that even other people couldn't help smelling it and looking over.
Sauron smiled and poured out a big bowl, first filled part of it for Vivienne, and then gave it to the caravan guards. These days food is prepared by caravans, and it is only right to ask them to taste it. Sauron asked the hotel to prepare fried eggs, and then brought two big bowls of thick porridge. The journey was still very hard, so Vivienne had to eat more. The mysterious caravan hostess also came down at this time. After smelling the fragrance, she naturally sat opposite to Sauron, and then filled some up for herself. The casual appearance made Sauron unable to refuse.
"Shouldn't the veil be removed when eating?"
Sauron ate with his head down, and said casually, "Wouldn't it be inconvenient?"
The hostess of the caravan gracefully picked up the spoon and blew on it lightly. The veil also floated a little bit, revealing a slightly sharp chin. She said calmly, "I'm used to it."
"tasty."
"I didn't expect you to have such a talent."
She actually ate very little.
He just took a few sips and then put it down, then glanced at Sauron, and then fell on the little girl next to him who was buried in her food.
snore! snore!
The little girl ate very happily.
She is not very picky about food, and she thinks it is delicious if it tastes a little better.
do not know why.
This mysterious woman talked more than before, and she actually tried to talk to Sauron while eating, which made him feel like she was either rape or stealing.
"Food should not be wasted."
Sauron quickly finished his food. He raised his head and glanced at the caravan hostess in front of him. He naturally reached out and took the bowl in front of her. Then he poured the food she had tasted but didn't finish into his own. bowl. This is a very disrespectful and frivolous behavior, and it can even be said to be a kind of teasing, especially for a woman of high status.
A hint of shame and anger appeared in the eyes of the caravan hostess!
Her full breasts rose and fell inconspicuously, and then gradually became much calmer.
has a problem.
Sauron was still eating in silence, acting like a stingy and frugal person, and even sneaked a sneak peek at the other person's tower, like a poor-quality disguise. However, his vigilance towards the caravan hostess in front of him has increased a lot, and the other party still treats him with a bit of aloof attitude, and he has been neither cold nor indifferent to him along the way, it is impossible to suddenly get closer now. Judging from her performance just now, this behavior obviously made her feel angry, but she endured it. Wizards are a group of very rational people, so she must have a plan in her heart. This kind of plan should not be against herself, so the only possibility is Vivian.
Did she also discover the amazing talent of the little girl? !
…
obviously.
Sauron's judgment was correct.
Because after the caravan set off, the mysterious hostess actually began to pretend to ask about their past casually.
This cliche skill is nothing to a rogue.
Sauron could easily see through her purpose, but he couldn't tell whether the other party was benevolent or malicious.
best possible.
It was nothing more than that she saw Vivienne's amazing talent and planned to take her as a witch apprentice, so she purposely got close to them at this time and wanted to know their past.
But it doesn't rule out the possibility that the other party has another purpose, and this possibility is not low at all!
Sauron had a hard time trusting a strange woman.
Especially a witch.
Do you want to leave
This was the thought in Sauron's mind after the caravan set off.
The Witch of the North is not a lawful and good existence. If she refuses when she speaks, the other party may become angry from embarrassment.
You can't use common sense to measure wizards.
There are quite a few "Frankensteins" in this group of people, and wizards often don't like to reason.
At least until you have the strength to reason with him.
They don't like reasoning!
Mages always have a sense of superiority in their hearts, especially if they are high-status witches.
They are women after all.
But now that it is very close to White Horse City, the two sides will naturally part ways when they arrive at White Horse City. The caravan needs to go back to the north from the south, and Sauron needs to divert to Fallen Leaf City, and then go to the Dream Forest to enter the kingdom of elves. If they leave rashly now, it may be counterproductive, and it will appear that they have ghosts in their hearts.
It was peaceful all the way.
Within the scope of human activities, the number of monsters will naturally be much less.
The caravan also encountered a group of bearded dwarves on the road. There is an Iron Ridge Mountain Range to the north of here. It used to be the territory of ogres. Later, a group of dwarves migrated and finally established a city there. The Ironback dwarves trade with other nearby races, mainly humans and half-elves, trading good weapons for spirits and food. Dwarves are creatures that don't like farming very much. They would rather face hard rocks than plan food in muddy ground.
All races inside.
It seems that only humans are the most willing creatures to farm, and only they like precision farming.
Orcs will farm
Come on kidding, they're just throwing the seeds in the ground and seeing how their luck goes this year.
With the skill of fine farming, it is better to fight two wild beasts.
At least you can eat meat.
As for the elves, no one thinks that this group of creatures who are a bit sick in pursuit of beauty would be willing to farm in the mud
Even if muddy land means fertile land.
…
Traveling can be boring at times.
Especially when nothing special is happening, which doesn't always happen, so all you need to do at that point is keep moving toward your destination.
It's also good that nothing happens.
Because emergencies in the wild always represent trouble, and may bring death.
so.
When the caravan finally reached the vicinity of White Horse City, both the merchant and the guards couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, because they had reached the final destination of a journey. The caravan will stay in Baima City for nearly a month. During this period, the merchants will disperse their activities to sell all kinds of goods in their hands, and then buy things they think can make money from the vicinity of Baima City. Some merchants will also organize small teams to go to the half-elf village here. The goods in their hands have obvious elf style, and occasionally they can pretend to sell them at high prices to those nouveau riche.
Cottages are everywhere.
After this group of merchants finished their work, they would gather and return to Northland by another route. Along the way, they will pass by the sea, and Northland merchants will sell some of their goods and sell them all the way to Northland with new special seafood.
This is how the journey should end.
Sauron left with the Kindler that he got from selling the diggers, and the others continued their journey of making money, if Sauron hadn't heard any bad news.
