"President Hu Lan, you didn't tell us that there are outsiders in the caravan!" Robin and Stark found the noble young man behind the caravan with ugly faces, and the leader of the beautiful woman pulled him aside and asked softly, "What are they people?"
Yesterday, both parties felt very satisfied with the cooperation, but after the mercenary group joined the caravan today, there was an unexpected surprise that the apostles didn't expect.
There are actually three "outsiders" in the caravan of the noble youth. These three outsiders do not refer to the mercenaries originally hired by the caravan. Due to the heavy casualties, those mercenaries lost their ability to continue guarding the caravan after arriving here. After the caravan paid the pension and part of the commission, they were sent back.
The three outsiders are a red-robed mage and his apprentice, and the last one is a female knight. Although the crowd avoided these three people far away, it was obvious from the look of their attire that they did not belong to the caravan.
"Oh, those are Master Angelo and his apprentice El. As for Idriya..." the noble young man glanced at the female knight opposite, lowered his voice, and said with a very strange expression, "She is Lao The trainee knights of the Vita Church are here to travel this time!"
"Where is that red-robed mage and his apprentice? Who is it?" Robin asked, frowning.
After learning that the female knight was a church knight, she immediately lost interest. Most church knights have firm beliefs and will not talk too much. As long as they are not believers of the murder god, they will basically not threaten the secrets of the envoys.
"Robin, wait a minute! President Hu Lan, what kind of church apprentice knight did you say the female knight was?" Stark blinked and suddenly asked.
"Idriya is a follower of Ms. Lovita..." But regarding Stark's inquiry, the noble youth seemed to take it for granted.
"Abusing the Goddess..." At this moment, Robin finally came to his senses, checked the apostle's soul seal, and suddenly showed a strange expression on his face.
Lauvita is a very special goddess, cruel and calm, domineering and bold, guarding all torturers, sadists and masochists on the continent of Faerun, also known as the Maiden of Pain.
Her followers can be cruel to others and cruel to themselves. Among the many gods and churches in Faerun Continent, there are very few believers of Goddess Lavita, and almost all of them are top-notch.
"Master Angelo and El are members of the Red Robe Mage Association, and they are also going to Baldur's Gate this time. As for what they are doing, they didn't mention it. I don't think it should have anything to do with us!" the noble youth said awkwardly.
"President Hu Lan, you didn't mention them before signing the employment contract with us, can you explain to us why?" Robin secretly looked at the female knight, then turned back and continued to ask seriously.
"This..." the noble young man opened his mouth, he really didn't think about these three people in the caravan.
"You two, I don't think this violates our employment contract!" The old butler who had been silent beside the noble young man finally came out to smooth things over and said with a smile, "Whether it's Mage Angelo and El, or I Miss Deria, they didn't ask for the protection of the caravan, they just accompanied us along the way and borrowed the carriage and tent."
"Yes, yes! In fact, the three of them never caused any trouble to the caravan during the previous journey, and there were a few times relying on them to take action, and the original mercenaries repelled the mercenaries on the plain. Thieves group." The noble youth finally came back to his senses and chimed in.
Robin and Stark looked at each other helplessly. They have already talked about this, so what else can they say. The mercenary group didn't need to protect those three people, but they could rely on their strength when they were in danger. Besides, they have followed the caravan a long way, proving that they have no malicious intentions, so the caravan might not drive them away.
"That's the only way to go. It would be too suspicious to terminate the employment contract now." Stark discussed with Robin on the team channel.
…
While the two of Robin were negotiating with the caravan, Qin Lun and the others were also secretly observing the three people. The follower of the Lovita Church is a beautiful female knight, wearing a tailor-made sleeveless breastplate and a battle skirt inlaid with copper pieces, with silver and white wristbands and leather gloves on her hands, and a pair of tall iron-toed boots under her feet.
The female knight is slender, with fiery red wavy long hair, a high nose bridge, slender eyebrows, a beautiful oval face with a healthy wheat color, and a somewhat indifferent expression. She feeds the mount beside her, completely ignoring the apostle Their eyes seem to have long been used to being watched.
The same is true when you think about it. It is rare for a young girl to become a knight, and it is even rarer to be a follower of Ms. Lovita than the number of gods in Faerun.
Of course, apart from being a follower of Lauvita, the main reason why the female knight can firmly attract the attention of many men like a magnet is because of her outstanding temperament. The only blemish on her body may be that her chest is flat, coupled with the restraint of the steel breastplate, she is almost flat.
Even Elistine couldn't help puffing out her chest after taking a look at her, feeling more confident in herself. Originally, during this period of time, the young elf druid couldn't hold his head up in front of Kelly, Nicole, and Robin.
The three female apostles each have their own strengths, and Kelly has the biggest chest. Although she has a tough personality, she has a kind of queen temperament. Nicole is mature and sexy, Robin is rational and intellectual, including Lace who uses the Beastmaster hunting bow, all have a cute and cute temperament. In addition, most of the female apostles have fine-tuned their appearance and figure, so Iristen really doesn't have the capital to show off in front of them.
Many male apostles admired the female knight with relish, and finally cast their eyes on the other two. Master Angelo and his apprentice El were sitting under a big tree by the lake. Under the shade were two purple oak wicker chairs and a matching tea table, on which was a set of tea sets.
The mage seems to know how to enjoy it. While drinking tea, he closed his eyes and meditated under the spring breeze. And his apprentice El is holding a thick tome, reading it carefully, frowning from time to time, thinking hard, and muttering to himself as if there is no one else.
El was dressed as a typical apprentice, with a white shirt and a gray plush vest. Because of the trip, the corn trousers on his lower body were stuffed into the riding boots. With soft, shiny blond hair and some freckles, he looked like a teenager.
In fact, his teacher, Master Angelo, is not too old, and he is also a young man. He has a thin face, with a head of black hair softly attached to his forehead, and when he opens and closes his eyes, sometimes a pair of deep black pupils will be revealed.
However, after looking at Angelo for a while, the apostles involuntarily turned their eyes to Philip in the team.
"Why are you all looking at me?" Of course Philip knew why everyone was looking at him, his face blushed, and he growled at everyone with a little embarrassment.
"They're both mages, why is there such a big gap?" Nicole snickered while covering her mouth. Others dare not make fun of the hot-tempered Philip, but the beautiful magician doesn't care at all.
The gap that Nicole mentioned does not refer to the strength of the two parties, but to the appearance.
Also as a young mage, the bright red robe on Angelo's body is not the traditional hooded robe. Instead, it was trimmed into a tight-fitting aristocratic dress style. There are two rows of neatly arranged copper buttons on the chest, folded animal skin cuffs on the cuffs, and front slits below the waist.
The mage's neckline is tied with a fancy lapel of a white shirt, a white brocade handkerchief is stuffed into the front breast pocket, and a pair of straight-leg black leather pants is worn on his lower body. The whole outfit looks radiant and elegant.
In comparison, Philip, who is covered in a large black robe and buried in the robe, looks a bit old-fashioned. If you put on the hood, you'll be exactly like those dead evil old wizards.
One is an aristocrat among mages, a mage spokesperson who is stylishly dressed and can be a model of the new era, and the other is a stubborn, dark and evil mage who looks like a conservative. No matter how you look at it, Philip doesn't seem to be winning the image battle.
"What do you look at, the most important thing for a mage is strength, do you understand strength?" Philip ground his teeth, turned and walked away, ignoring the group of companions who turned their elbows outward.
In Mage Angelo, the apostles with keen senses did not perceive a great threat. Unless he has a hidden treasure, he should not have reached the level of a high-level mage.
There is a big gap between the plot mages in this world and the apostle mages like Philip in the form of magic. The same middle-level mages, Faerun's plot mages have more spell slots, and from the apostle's point of view, they have more skills that can be used.
The more skills you have, the more magic combinations you have, and you can deal with more combat forms. From this aspect, the Faerun mage is more powerful than the apostle's mage profession. The skills of an apostle are very precious, and it is impossible to have more magic skills than Mage Faerun. Even a second-tier profession like Philip will not have more than twenty magic skills, usually only a dozen or so.
And Faerun's middle-level mages, even if they have only reached the lowest level of the middle level, from the zero-level to the fourth-level spell slots, there are at least no less than forty or fifty spells, which is two to three times that of the apostles.
However, Philip said something very truthfully. As a mage, one must always look at strength, not appearance. In the real battle, the apostles were still more optimistic about Philip than Angelo.
The reason is simple, no matter how many magic skills Angelo has, his magic power is limited. Philip has a law body and has recovery items. As long as Angelo can't kill Philip in a short time, he will grind him to death sooner or later.
The apostles soon left and re-took their tents by the side of the caravan's camp. Caravans are different from them. It takes a day to assemble the manpower and pack the goods. They are still unable to go on the road today.
After everyone left, Angelo suddenly opened his eyes with his eyes closed, looked in the direction of the apostles, and frowned deeply.
"El, remember not to mess with those mercenaries just now!" The young mage turned to remind his apprentice.
"Huh? Teacher, is there any problem among them?" El was slightly taken aback. During the previous journey, his teacher had never commented on any mercenary.
Angelo glanced at a certain corner, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the female knight, who was carelessly feeding the horse, was also frowning and thinking at this moment, she pouted her lips immediately, hesitated for a while, and finally decided that she should speak more clearly to her disciples .
"It's not a problem with anyone, but everyone. They are very strong. It's not surprising that there are strong people among the mercenaries. But the problem is that everyone in this group of mercenaries has such a strong aura..."
